A thorough inside cleansing is oftimes all that is necessary 1t shoud be the first treatment given in any sickness.

GENERAL COLE IN
 FAVOR OF MOBILIZATION
Says Critical Situation at Present
 Time Justifies Measure.

In the opinion of Adjutant General George M. Cole, who has just returned from a trip to Washington. the mobil- izatiOn of the national guard along the Mexican border would be of great ben eft to the guardsmen and would show the country just what sort of a mili- tary force it owns. He also said that in lis opinion, the situation facing the regular army at present is sufficiently critical to render the mobilization of the national guard of the country an act of prudence, even though the chances are that it will not be needed.
 He does not think. however, that the militia will be mobiliZed as a result of the expedition against Villa, an opin- ion which he has gained by informal talks with officials in Washington dur ing his visit there. He said that his visit had no relation to the present military operations. It was one of the trips which he makes to the capital on business connected with the Connecti- cut National guard every six or eight weeks.
 General Cole said yesterday that the training of the Connecticut troops this year will take the form of a manoeu- vre, although how extensive he was unprepaPed to say, since no appropria- tion bills have been passed. It is first necessary to find out how much money congress will give for training troops before a plan for a manoeuvre can be decided upon.

Capt. C. K. Wang. with his staff of four including his nephew, w. T. Wei, $. Y. Wang, $. K. Chang and NJ. F.. Hsio, arrived in New London from New York on the S.2O express Monday night and registered at the Mohicau hotel
 Captain Wang is the naval officer sent to this country to take charge of the Chinese naval commission which is making a study of subma- rines at the New London Ship & En- zine Go. in the place of Admiral Wei Han, who was forced by i'll health, to return to his native country. Cap tain Wang took charge of the com mission immediately.
 Wei Han left this country in Feb ruary after an illness of several months, the final two weeks of his stay here being spent in bed. Captain Wang made the trip to San Francisco by steamer and came across country instead of coming direct to New York by steamer. In san Francisco the captain and admiral met and eX- changed courtesics, Admiral Han also explaining to his successor the minor details of his commission.
 This afternoon was spent with the new Chinese leader viewing the sights of the Whaling city and the captain was enthusiastic in his report that if the climate agreed with his health there was a pleasant stay ahead of him in New London. Captain Wang said that Admiral Wei Han would, on his arrival in China. be placed at the head of the naval headquarters al Picking.

 Rev. George T. Berry Unable to Attend Because of Illness.

There were nearly fifty in attendance at the meeting of the Norwich McAn auxiliary which was held Tuesday af- ternoon at the Norwich club. Rev. George T.

In spite of this, an interesting meeting was conducted by the presi- dent, Mrs. Leonard w. Bacon. After the scripture reading, prayer was of fered by Rev. Joseph H. Selden. The usual reports were given by secretary and treasurer. Mrs. J. NJ. Huntington spoke of Pastor Nick of Lille, who was one of the first chaplains sent to the front, of his fearless courage which enabled him to make many brave res cues of wounded, and of his letters which described religious services at the front and his faith that the history of France must cause her deliverance. She also told of a lecture at the insti- tute in Madrid upon French Women Before and After the War. Miss Sara L..
