COIOniaIS In Battle Line.

London, May 9, 4:12 a. m.-The Australian and New Zealander troops who have taken over a portion of the lighting line on the British front in France are under the command of General William Riddel BirdWood, who was the leader of the Colonials in the Gallipoli campaign. The last detachment of the Australians left Alexandria March 31 and were trans ported across the Mediterranean to prepare bases at Marseilles and Havre without 8 single mishap. Several times the transports were warned of submarines lying in wait for them, but they managed to avoid their un- dersea enemies.
 The New Zealanders followed the Australians to France and the Colo nlals took their places on the firing line without delay. The first day that they occupied the trenches the Ger mans hoised a banner on which was written "Welcome Australians"

RAILROADS STRONG

Dominate Dealings With Fair
 Demand for All Shares

New York, May 9-Wall St. 10:30 a. m.-There was a fairly even dis tribution of gains and losses at the opening of todays trading on the stock exchange, Mexicans, Mercantile Marines, Industrial Alcohol and some less prominent issues receding from fractions to over a point, while United Fruit General Electric and leading rails were distinctly strong. In fact the movement in railway issues soon dominated the market Union Pacific, St. Paul, Reading and Lehigh Valley rising over a point with fair de- mand for other representative shares of the same class. Initial declines were largely wiped out before the end of the first half hour, but special ties continued their irregularity.
 Close-Obscure and low priced rails, particularly Rock Island and Missouri Pacific, were in brisk demand at marked gains in the final hour. The closing was irregular.

Mix'S Role In Case.

New Haven, May 9.-Coroner Eli Mix who ordered the eXhumation of the body of Franklin R. Andrews to- day stated that the investigation of the case does not lie with his office. the case being one to be dealt with by the Hartford County authorities. The coroner said he had known of the inquiry for about a year but he had nothing to do with it until recently when a request came that he issue an order to permit of the taking tip of the body which had been buried in Cheshire, a town within his jurisdic- ton. This done he had nothing fur ther to do with the case.
 Dr. Howard F. King, medical eX- aminer for the town of Windsor, and the physician who attended most of the sick nersons at the Archer Home, asserted today that he had the utmost faith in Mrs. Gilligan's innocense and believed she was the victim of the persecution of unfriendly neighbors.
 "The most suspicious circum- stances connected with the case to my mind," said Dr. King, was the fact that in most of the fatal cases that I attended, the patient was at the point of death, even though it would have been possible for me to have come to the home early in the development of the sickness.''
 Dr. King admitted that it was possible that Franklin R. Andrews might have been the victim of arsenic poinoning, as the diagnosis of an ulccrous stomach.

WILSON CALLS OUT
 STATE TROOPS ID . GUARD THE BORDER
(Continued From First Page

regiments would be mustered into the federal service as volunteers, and it would be optional with the men ! whether they would serve.
 S According to the last reports to the Ear department the Arizona Guard is %ompoSed of eleven companies of in- fantry, with a total of thirty-six off, cers and S06 men. The incomplete regiment has no machine guns or SUD- ply company, and it is scattered through the state.
 The New Mexico guard is composed of one battery of field artillery located at Roswell and a regiment of infan- @&y without machine guns Or a supply company. The total enrolled strength is siXty-two officers and 90S men.
 The Texas Guard consists of one field hospital, four squadrons of cav airy, one battery of field artillery and three regiments of infantry of which only one has a machine gun company and none of which has a supply com- pany. The total force is 1S1 officers and 2,956 men.
 Force To Be Increased.
 The grand total enrolled of this force in October, 1915, according to these figures, was 299 officers and A. 670 men. Because of border condi- tions officials here feel certain that the force will be increased a third or more in the course of the next few days. The disposition of the militia and of the regulars along the border is entirely, in General Funston's Hands. While only the guardsmen from the three states mentioned have actually been ordered out, the war de- partment is prepared to send similar orders to other nearby states should the necessity arise. Recommendation by General Scott and General Funston will govern the sending of any addi- tional guardsnien.
 With the dispatch of the four addi- tional regular regiments to the border, the entire mobile army of the United States with the exception of five troops of cavalry is either mobilized upon the border or in Mexico in pur- suit of bandits. Every infantryman in the country is either on the border, enroute there, or in Mexico. The re- mainder of the infantry and cavalry is on foreign service or in Alaska.
 Senators and representatives from the border states some of whom have been active critics of the administra- tion's Mexican policy, expressed ap- proval of the mobilization of the guardsmen.

Strikers in Berlin Brickyards Rctraco Steps From Newfield Plant,
 As Place is Guarded.

The strike situation in Berlin still remains a deadlock with the excep- ton Of at the Donnelley Brick com pany. This morning practically ope- half the number employed in the Yard returned to work. Yesterday Of ternoon, about 200 strikers marched to NeWfeld, where they attempted to have the men at work there at the Futile plant join their ranks Sheriff Bert Thomson of Middlesex county with twenty deputies were on guard at the plant and when these at work there refused to leave, the strikers withdrew
 It was reported this morning that several of the yards were running. but this could not be confirmed. This morning the strikers gathered, as IS their wont, at the green in Kensing- ton and discussed the situation Most of them are of the opinion that the matter will be settled by tomorrow, the limit set in their demands of Saturday. Some, who are not so optimistic, are getting ready to shake the dust of Berlin off their feet and hie themselves to pactures new. First Selectman William H. Gibney and several deputies kept watch at the various yards during the night. but nothing unusual was reported. Threc of the local police are on guard at the Towers plant at the foot of South Main street.
 The strike is spreading down the river, the men leaving their work at several yards as far as North Haven.

WILL REPRESENT
 Y.M. [. A. AT FRONT
To Raise $2,O0O for Secretary Of
 European Welfare Work

Stirred by the address of E. c. Car
 ter secretary of Y. M. c. A. work in India the directors of the local in
 stitution have decided to raise $2,000
 so that New Britain will be repre-
 sented in the work of the association
 at the front in Europe. The money
 will be raised by subscription and
 George s. Talcott has been appointed
 treasurer. It was decideded to accept
 contributions from any citizen and all
 are invited to assist in raising the
 money. Mir. Carter left India in
 charge of twenty secretaries when
 the war broke out and since then
 has conducted recreation centers and
 Bible classes near the trenches. The
 men also write letters for the wound
 ed and sell provisions and other de-
 sirables to the soldiers at cost. MT.
 Carter, who was graduated from liar
 yard, returned to this country last month to secure fifty secretaries and raise a budget for their salaries and maintenance. He has agreed to find the man for the position who will represent the local association.
 In a very able address at the thir- ty-second anniversary exercises of the local Y. M. c. A. in the South Con- gregational church Sunday, MT. Car ter told of the desolate conditions in Europe, drew word pictures of the waiting mothers and sweethearts, as their loved ones left for the front, per haps never to return again. Every where in Europe the spirit of self sacrifice is apparent and solace is sought in religion, as never before. He told of the misunderstanding of the assOciat1on's work at first, how men soliciting money keep the rIOve- ment alive, were told to come to their own country, America, for the means to keep the undertaking going. Later Prime Minister Asquith of Eng land visited a Y. M. C. A. "hut" as they are called, unknown to anyone and conducted an investigation. When he returned to his office. he had an order drawn for s125, 900 to assist in the work.
 The Y. M. c. A. secretaries are al lowed to erect "huts" back of the trenches and every day practically 1000 men gather to pass away the time and turn their minds from the terrible struggle in which they are enga ged. Concluding his address, he asked the people of New Britain to assist in the work, which is doing so much good in Europe. These secre- taries are secured either from ssso- citations or colleges. Oftentimes work of this kind and MT. Garter will endeavor to secure a competent man to represent this city

Funston Following Own Mind.

El Paso, Tex, May 9.-Without con- sidering the negotiations between Ma jor General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the American army, and Gen. eral Alvaro ObregOn, Mexican minis ter of war, Major General Frederick Funston continued today to direct mil itary operations in the Big Bend re- zion of Texas. How far the opera lions will be carried was not generally Known, and there was reason to be- Iieve that even General Funston was unprepared to predict what the Am erican troops would be doing Or where they would be a week from now. Whether they cross into Mexico in search of the Mexicans who raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas Friday night and Saturday will depend upon circumstances after the four troops of cavalry that yesterday detrained and started south, have arrived at the bor- der.
 No Agreement Reached.
 It was indicated that another con- ference between Generals Scott and Obregon might take place today and that Obregon is expected to be in a position to sign the agreement entered into by him and General Scott last week What was expected to have been the final conference came to an end late yesterday without any agree ment having been reached.
 Neither General Scott nor General Obregon was convinced that the time to break off the negotiations had ar rived. however, and tentative arrange ments for another conference was made. The failure to receive from Carranza unequivocal authority to conclude the negotiations with Gener- al Scott regarding the status of Am erican troops in Mexico was offered as General Obregons excuse for not signing the agreement.
 Gen. ObregOn, it is said, again has sought from the central government Authority to close the negotiations. American officers insisted and Mexi- can officers admitted that the next move in the negotiations belonged to Obregon.
 While General Scott waited for as- surances from across the Rio Grande that the Mexican officials were pre- ; pared to sign the protocol governing the operations of General Pershing' s troops in Mexico, General Funston studied maps of the Big Bend region of the country in Mexico just south of that district.
