NATIONAL GUARD READY FOR CALL FROM EXECUTIVE
Reports From States Show Organizations Prepared
 To Mobilize.

Reports from the officials of the na- tional r'-7 organizations of the states Q that should the federal govern. de3In it advisable to call out the state military, about two days would elapse before the troops would be in mobilization camp, ready for transportation to the Mexican border. Prospects of active service are being discussed in all of the organizations of the national guard, and in this state there is a strong feeling that the guard will not be called upon, a feeling per haps induced by the course of affairs in 1914, when after being tip-toe with excitement for several days, it was decided that the situation did not de- mand the use cf state troops.
 Should developments require the use of a larger force than at present on the Mexican border, it is not un- likely that state troops will be used. and in the opinion of officers of the Connecticut NationaI( Guard such state troops as are ordered out will be concentrated on the Mexican border to perform the guard duty now taken care of by the regular troops, while the regulars were sent into Mexico. It would not be until the state troops had been thoroughly hardened to sol dier life and had achievedta perfec- ton of military training, that they would be actively used in such a cam paign.
 Of course the constitutionality Of sending state troops outside of the territorial limits of the United States would again come up, and as Congress has as yet enacted no legislation cor rective of this objection, the troops would probably be required to volun- teer into the service of the United States as they did in 1898.
 Connecticuts point of mobilization he at Sto fn in io and it is not likely that all of the units of the regiments would be able to arrive there much under twenty four hours from the time of sending the call. The QuartermaSter' corps of the guard is in possession of data which shows exactly what railroad transportation is needed to convey the troops to Mantle, and how the trans portation should be handled, and data concerning subsistence of men and animals is also ready for use. The state is said to have nearly 4,000 men available for immediate service, in cluding two regiments of infantry, a corps of coast artillery equal to a regiment in numbers, and a few or ganizations of other arms.
 It is hardly likely that the Coast artillery would be called on for ser vice in Mexico unless it went as an in- fantry regiment, in which case it's careful training as supports of the Long Island Sound coast defenses would go for nothing. It Is more likely that at first one of the two regiments Of infantry, the cavalry, signal corps and medical corps would be ordered out. Whether the batteries of field ar til1ery, newly organized, would be hurried into active service, unless there was grave need for them, is an open question.

 There was no infantry fighting last night in the region to the north of Verdun. The bombardment continued, however, during the night at Bethin- court and in the vicinity of Douau- mont as well as in the Woevre, in the Our artillery showed great activity along this front.
 ''In the wood of Le Pretre a de- tachments of our troops penetrated a trench of the enemy at a point near Croix Des Carmes along a front of about 200 yards. The men cleaned up the saps and, after having inflicted some losses on the enemy they re- turned to our lines with about 20 prisone4s

STREET VENDORS DISAPPEARANCES
 ONE WAR RESULT

London, March 11-A1most com plete disappearance of the ragged but picturesque street vendors and other itinerant frequenters of London's thoroughfares is one of the notable changes brought about by a year and q half of war.
 Before nostilities began the curb stones of the principal streets were lined from morning to night by hawk CTS of pirated copies of popular .ougs, cheap toy sellers and match vendors, While at every few yards the passer- by' was accosted by a man CT woman carrying a fr'lit -ba sket or a tray la Gcn with chocolates or other can dies. Now these are gone and pc destrians are grateful for the relief from the constant appeals to buy. At the same time the police are pleas d tr be freed from the continuous duty of keeping the ragged army within the limits of city ordinances.
 Other characters of London's streets whose disappearance, on the contrary, is regretted are the red coated shoe-blacks formerly seen on every street corner and around the railroad stations. The disagreeab ble London mud, oozing up in case of wet weather owing to the c1ayey compo- sition of the -subsoil, makes these
 mems absence noticeable, and also that of the crossing sweepers who at the functions of frequented streets swept narrow pathways through the mud and whose services were much appreciated by the women.
 The push-cart men or "costermong ers'' with their little donkey barrows full of cheap vegetables which they loudly offered for sale in the suburban districts away from the shopping cen terS have gOne-many of them to serve in the army.
 The muffin and crunpet'' men with their warm wares for afternoon tea, whose advent in the streets after lunch was heralded by the ringing of a bell, have quit their rounds, for ba- kers have been turned into a star red'' trade whose services are requir- ed for the making of army bread and cannot be spared for luxuries.
 The "sheH fish'' stalls, formerly much used by patrons for saloons af- ter their favorite houses had closed at midnight and where they consumed wheIks and cookies soaked in vinegar and sprinkIed thickly with pepper are no more in evidence, having ac- companied the hot baked potato can into oblivion with the introduction of the new lighting regulations which they could not avoid infringing if they desired to continue their trade with success.

Wireless Operator Is
 Fined For Working
 Without U. $. License

William T. ScofieId, of Stamford, ,who was brought before a, federal grand jury in New Haven on March ', charged with violating sections 1, ? and of the Acts of Congress- of 1912, relating to operating a wireless sta tion without either a license as an operator or a license for his station, was the first person to be tried for this offense in this A1strict. U. s. Radio Inspector H. c. Gawley reported the violation to the local custom house, which in turn took up the matter with U. s. Attorney Thomas J. Spe1lacy of Hartford. An indictment was obtain ed before the grand jury. Scof1eld en- tered a plea of not guilty, but the jury returned a finding of guilty upon the second and third accounts. Judge Ed win s. Thomas of the U. S. district count, imposed a fine of $5 without costs on each account.
 Not only is the operation of wireless stations with out license a violation of the acts of Congress but it also comes uder the jurisdiction of the neutrality proclamation. All violations are re- ported to the custom house.

ticles and idle cafe chatter, it is a fact that in the near future our navy will achieve it's great desire and the most terrible sea fight in history will bring the end of the war in sight. Germany is preparing last desperate throw in which she will employ all her re- sources of land, sea, and air. Zeppe- lins are being built with feverish speed. The German plan is to fore stall the Allies and strike before our men, guns and munitions have achieV- ed a superiority that much insure vic tory.
 ''The attack on Verdun is the pre- Jude to the last phase of the world war. A blood red dawn is rising. Whole armies will be destroyed, mighty ships will be derelict, thou sands of homes will be devastated in the awful tragedy of a great nation rushing to Suicide.''

GERMANS READY
 FOR SEA FIGHT
 LONDON REPORT

London, March 1S-The Rotterdam correspondent of the Daily Mail in a mail communication sent on March s says he can confirm the report that the German fleet is preparing to fight the British feet
 Discussing the reasons for the Ger man decision to accept battle after refusing it for 19- months, the corres- pondent says:
 without acting on the theory that if she loses the war Germany will lose her fleet, German statesmen take the view that if the fleet is lost it's de- struction must first cost the enemy enormous sacrifices.
 -s NO German ship shall surrender, is the unwritten order.
 E'But the Germans will not sacrifice their fleet merely for the sake of na- tional sentiment. They will not send their ships to destruction merely to save themselves the humiliation of seeing them lowed out of the Kiel Canal. The German naval staff Is about to challenge Great Britain's na- val supremacy because they think they can deal that supremacy severe if not a deadly blow.
 The increasing effect of the blockade, internal unrest and the miIi- tary menace of the Allies undoubtedly have had an influence on the naval policy but have not decided that poH- cy, only stimulated it.''
 Referring to the universal belief in Germany that terrible weapons against the British navy have been forged, the correspondent describes this belief as fantastic. He says he has ground for scepticism regarding the reports of IT, inch guns, unsuitable battleships, dis coverfes in magnetic power applied to mines and torpedoes, and impregnabIe floating forts, but he believes that the supersubmarine is the weapon with which Germany s'hopes to strike effec- lively at the British navy.
 EfGermany,'' he says, +'now pos sesses submarines of power and dis placement undreamed of at the out break of the war. It is claimed that these monster craft can voyage as far as India independent of any aid. In their bui1ding men have been kept at work night and day for months. The best German inventive and construc- tive minds have been employed in perfecting a. huge f1otilIa of submar- ines. Fortunately the German mar inc staff has faced serious handicap. They have materials. workshops and skilled workmen to build submarines, but not sufficient sailors to man them.
 '"The German loss in submarines in the last few months is greater than the German Admiralty cares to con fess. They do not mind the loss of the boats as much as they do the loss of the trained crews. With their system of short service the Germans cannot turn out sailors of first class quality, especially men called to exercise rare technical knowledge and remarkable physical endurance in the cramped chambers of a submarine. Neverthe- less, crews are being trained speedily and efficiently within the limits of the German war machine.'
 After detailed reference to the con- fdence of the Germans in their fleets future achievements the correspondent says:
