MILITARY CAMPS.

AS the result of the recognized ben
eft from military training and the
good impression that was made by
the military camps which were con-
Quoted last year, of which that at
Plattshurg was an excellent example,
it is not surprising that demands are
coming from many other sections this
year for the establishment of addi-
tional ones in order to accommodate
sections of the country which are too
distant to take advantage of the
Plattsburg camps, or that it is claim
ed that there will be 10000 young
men undergoing military training I'M
der regular army officers this sum-
mer.
In response to the call arrangements
have already been made for camps in
Georgia, Texas, Utah, Washington and
| California besides that at Plattsburg
and others will also be held through
out the middle west. Since under the
present conditions the men at the
| camps are obliged to pay their own
| expenses. the training does not i'm
pose any obligations whatever fol-
| subsequent military service. The
members have to subscribe to nothing
| that might bind them to join any mill
tary organization. but put in four OF
| five weeks of healthful outdoor life
| in tents, under the best sanitary con-
| ditions under the training of some OF
the best equipped and experienced of.
| ficers of the regular army.
Such camps are therefore furnishing
| the opportunity for securing that ''citi.
zenry trained to arms" which Presi
dent Wilson in his address to con.
gress laid so much stress upon, anC
| it is a training outside the military
| organizations which means the reach
ing of a larger number which ma!
form the basis of a reserve either
army. Its purposes are excellent ant
its possibilities are many.

THE DEER LAW,

Not a little criticism Is being heard
from different points about the state
relative to the manner in which the
deer law, which went into effect last
August, is working out, the complaint
being that many of the animals are
only being wounded and as the result
much suffering is being inflicted upon
wild life which up to last year had
been encouraged and protected.
The law making it possible for
owners Of real estate under certain
restrictions to shoot deer was advo-
Gated because of the large amount of
damage which these animals were
doing every season to growing crops
and orchards. The number was get
ting to be so large that their depre-
dations were increasing each year and
the expense of maintaining them fell
upon the farmers. For that reason
it was considered but fair that they
should be given the benefit from
shooting them the same as it would
be when they slaughter their own cat
tie after having been to the expense
of raising them.
The reason why so many wounded
ones, or those which have died from
their injuries, are found is because OF
poor shots and the necessity of using
shotguns. This restriction was placed
In the law as a matter of protection
to humanity for if deer could be law
fully hunted with rifles in a state as
| thick1y settled as is Connecticut there
is no telling how many men,s womer
| or children would be killed or wound
| ed by the bullets which go far from
| the mark, and humanity must get con.
| sideration before wild life.
| No one would attempt to say tina
| there were no defects in the presen
| law but it cannot but be recognized
that it is accomplishing the reduction
| in the number Of deer and that il
| what was aimed at by the legislation

NEW INDUSTRY FOR NORWICH.

When it comes to providing facili-
ties for manufacturing enterprises
Norwich has long recognized that it
is admirably equipped. 1t makes lit
tie difference what the line may be;
the natural advantages of the city,
with the available sites and the trans
portation accommodations afforded by
two railroads and the Thames river,
cannot fail to make their appeal to
those seeking a location half way be-
tween the two big cities of New York
and Boston.
Norwich has shown steady growth
industrially but it could hardly be
rated as a progressive city if it did
not desire to continue to grow and see
some of the highly desirable manu-
featuring sites, which have been stand
ing idle too long already, utilized for
the establishment Of new factories.
For that reason there cannot help
being much interest in the effort which
is being made by one of our energetic
townsmen to locate another industry
in the city. 1t is an opportunity to
increase the textile plants of the city
which gives promise of being of much
value not only to the ThamesvilIe Sec
ton where it would be located but to
the entire community. 1t is indicated
by the plan to present the matter be-
fore the citizens in town meeting, that
the proposition, so far as the people
Of Norwich are concerned, is similar
to others which have been received
and in one or more instances approved
Watching for all the possible chances
for growth, the conditions which sur
round the securing of this industry
deserves full and careful consideration
and it is believed that it will be &C
corded by the townspeople. That Nor
witch needs new industries cannot be
questioned.

the chance that st, would not be &C

Yale has taken official recognition
of the plan not by giving credit to-

| employ of the National City Bank, but
| by agreeing to recommend certain men
each year to receive this special train
ing. This will be effected through a
cooperation between the Economics
Department and the Bureau of APP
| continents. A system of studies re-
| quired by the college for these stu
| dents is incorporated in the banks
| rlan. The studena may take the re-
| quired subjects Of the regular college
| course during his freshman and So
| phomore years. After that time he
| must study prescribed subjects. While
| at the bank on the other hand, the
| student, during his vacations will be
| taking courses in other prescribed stu
| dies. These studies will be under the
| supervision of a committee comprised
OF representatives of the nearby New
| England colleges. Thus, as complete

will have been directly applicable to
his future career. A man will in no
way be interfered with in getting IS
