BELGIUM PUBLISHES
 SECOND GREY BOOK Refutes Documents Which Germans Allege They
 Found at Brussels.

a Paris, Aug 2, 1o:25 D.. -The Belgian government has published a second gray book containing various documents relating to the war, notably d communication from Baron Guil- laurne, Belgian minister to Paris, to. the Belgian minister of foreign affairs dated February 22, 1913, apparently contradicting documents recently pub- lished by the Germans alleged to have been found in the state archives at Brussels and purporting to have been written by Baron GLilIaume. s
 Explaining to M De Margerie, or the French foreign office, the mean ing of the Belgian military law, M
 Guillaume writes that he said:
 We wish to avoid, if possible hav- ing Belgium again become as she often has been, the battle field of Europe. President Poincare has assured me France never would take the initiative to violate our neu- i trality. Our aim is solely i to prevent to the Aimit of our forces the violation of our neutrality.
 The second part of the gray book consists of protests. addressed by the Belgian government to the Austrian and German governments against all i leged violations of the laws of war and The Hague convention.RS

SOLDIER BOYS IN
 EARNEST THIS YEAR
Companies F and Getting Ready for Week at Camp, With Shooting
 the Principal Feature.

New Britain,s citizen soldiers are getting ready for active service. that is Such active service as is permitted by a government at peace and hoping to be with the rest of the world. The great camp at Niantic, where the boys in blue. or rather khaki, trained for the Spanish war, and where, thous sands of others just as able and will ing have don1 their week in camp, is not the place this year. Those who command the military destinies of the country have decreed, in view Of doings abroad, that soldiers should be able to shoot and hit something. Of course drill is still an important mat ter, but this time to shoot and shoot we'll is the thing.
 So the c. N. G. is to try it's luck at the state rife range at East Ha- ven. The first battalion of the First regiment, which includes headquar- ters company and Companies A and B Xof Hartford and D company of Bris- tol, responding to previous orders, boarded a train yesterday and sev- eral hours later arrived at East Ha- ven where they detrained and marched a mile or more over a peD- ble-strewn road to the camp. The or- der of the day is shoot, shoot for fur or practice the first three days, and the last three days for blood or bulis- eyes.
 New Britain will be more inter- ested in camp doings next week when Company E leaves with the Second Battalion for a week with "Krags." Captain E. Raymond Low and the men of Company E are busy this week preparing for eventualties, and 1t will be fit collection of sol- dier boys that leaves the Hardware city next Monday morning. Company, I, under Captain Harry P. Ladbufy, is slated to part for the East Haven range one week later. Arrangements have been made to keep the home, folk well posted of the happenings n camp, and the Herald will publish the story from day to day

.TAG DAY HERE FOR
 ARMENIANS' E Il RELIEF. l [. / Dr. Mouradian Announces Collection to Be Taken
 Labor Day.

The Armenian Red Cross is plann- ing to make an appeal for funds from the generous people of this city, the money to be used for the relief of those made destitute i'll Armenia as a result of the war. Like the Belgians and Poles, the Arm enians have suf- fered terribly from the ravages of war. For years they have been oppressed by the Turkish conquerors and massa- cres have been of frequent occur ence. Being of Christian faith they have suffered from the fury and hate of their Moslem rulers, who have thrown all restraint to the winds whenever the least provocation of- fered.
 The European war in which Tur- key became involved last winter was at once taken as an excuse for an attack .upn their Armenian subjesct Massacre has followed massacre and if the stories that are printed in the few Armenian papers which reach this country are to believed atrocities of the most horrible and revolting character have been the rule rather than the exception.
 d faith bitterly hated by the Turks, the ArTnenians were objects of sus- picion and oppression when the war broke out, Men capable of bearing arms were hustled away and confined in compounds. The women were made slaves or taken as wives by the Turks and all the young children and boys were ordered killed The bodies nf cIa JI story published recently, were thrown into the dry bed of a stream and the corpses completely filled it. Thou sands are destitute and starving and no relief is in sight.
 Dr. Mary G. Mouradian of 551 Main stret is member of the local com mittee appointed to cooperate with the Armenian Red Cross in tn eff fort to raise funds for then destitute refugees, many thousands of whom are. now at Van. She told a Herald reported today that she had not heard from her aged parents in eight months They live in one of the large towns in Armenia and before the war were in prosperous circumstances The place has since been rayaged by the Turks and she has good reason for fearing that her parents have been killed together with thousands of her country people.
 Occasionally pr. Mouradian gets a newspaper from the home land and the it brings contains little but stories of death and desolation. The whole country has been ravaged, houses. churches and stores footed and burned and the people killed or carried away into slavery and captivity. Under the auspices of the Armenian Red Cross, the local committee of which Dr. Mouradian is a member proposed to hold tag day on Labor Day, September 6, the funds to be forward ed through the Red Cross to the suf- ferers who have escaped by flight from the hands of the Turks. At present little or nothing can be done for those who remain in the hands of their conquerors as no promise can be given that relief funds would not be seized by the Turks
