THE ANzACS

Many newspaper readers have won- dered just why the troops from the Antipodes now serving in the trenches or the Allies in>Europe came by their popular nickname of "Anzac." Ref erSnce works have been ransacked without shedding any illumination on the mystery, but an explanation is now Forthcoming. In the introduction to the recently published volume bearing the title of The Anzac Book, Lieut.- Gen. Sir ". R. Birdwood says. in the Introduction" that the appelation of "Anzac" is purely arbitrary in it's ori- gin. When took over~the command of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps," explains Gen. Birfwood,
 in Egypt a year ago, was asked to select Q telegraphic code address for my army corps, and then adopted the word 'Anzac. This code word was popularized when Gen. Birdwood, af- Ter landing his forces at Gallipoli, nam ed the beach whereon they debarked "Anzac Cove" The Australians and New Zealanders have now seen active service in Egypt, Turkey, the Balkans and France, and wherever they have been placed they have manifested the greatest bravery and resource. The officers assigned to command them deem themselves favored by fortune. soldiers who never know when they are whipped. When the first con-
 siderable body of the Anzacs arrived
 on the western front the Germans be- fore them hoisted signs reading "Wel-
 come, Australians" Later the Teu- tons aroused the ire of the AnZacs by
 displaying signs referring to the Aus | tralians as the sons of convicts-a ref erence Ito the fact that in the early
 days of Australia many English con victs were banished ,G the down un. der" country. Although compara,- lively few Australians of to-day are
 descendants of those early enforced
 settlers, all the Anzacs are touchy on
 that point. and the slur added fuel to
 their hatred of the "boches."

6. ". s. A. TO SEND LARGE DELEGATION
 TO CONVENTION
GA. G. Porritt, Hartfordl,

The Executive Board of the Connec- tieut Woman Suffrage Association met Wednesday, afternoon at the home of Mrs. George H. Day, at Fenwick.
 It was an all day meeting, as is us- ua1 with the monthly meetings of the Board and Mrs. Day entertained all the members to lunch. It has been customary during the summer for sew eral years past to. hold the board meetings at Fenwick, as this is a con- xenfent meeting place for a majority of the members Mrs. T. N. Hep burn who presided at Wednesdays meeting has her summer cottage at Fenwick, and Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett the Treasurer of the State Association is spending July with his mother Mrs. Day at the family summer home there. Miss Katharine burlington came to the meeting frofl her beautiful home at Lyme just across the river. Mrs. Stod- dard motored over from Madison where she spends the summers. Miss Danielson came down from Putnam Heights Yin her motor car and the
 Hartford contingent-includin Mrs. Edward Porritt and Miss Catherine Flanagan went down to Saybrook by train.
 The most important business before the meeting to-day was the selection of delegates to attend the National Suffrage convention which is to be held in Atlantic City. September 9th to 11th. This is the annual convention of tn. National Association. Usually it has been held in December. but De-
 celnber would be too late this year for
 the convention is especially held to consider what action shall be taken by the National Association and it's affil- lated branches in the coming presi- dehtial and congressional elections. Mrs. Catt is by no means satisfied with . the blanks adopted by the Republican and Democratic conventions, and es- fpecially is she dissatisfied with the at- titude of many of the politicians-the attitude so openly voiced by the Hart
 ford C0drant that the Republicans adopted. a plank which is marely meant to dodge the question, and that the Democratic party followed suit She is determined, that if there is any determination to dodge the issue the men of both parties shall find that in- stead of getting rid of the suffrage question they will find that they have put it to the forefront of the questions to be fought out at the election.
 l Connecticut is entitled to fifteen del- egates and fifteen alternates, and it is plain that every place in the delega-
 ton will be filled. Mrs. Hepburn and
 Mrs. Ernest Thompson-Seton will head
 the delegation ;and there will be a
 large representation of the Executive
 Board. The rest of the places will
 be filled by prominent workers from
 the local leagues.

o,RoURKE's CHARGES.

The Naugatuck Valley league di- fectors are in session today in Derby considering the charges of O'Rourke against Umpire Hill in relation to the Bridgeport-Ansonia game of Sat- urday. July II. O'Rourke has with drawn that portion of his letter wherein he threatened to leave the league in the event of an adverse decision which would indicate that he intended to remain whether or no. He believes that the game should be thrown out for the reason that Man ager. Houiihan had no right on the field at the time of the dispute and that Umpire IIin exceeded his au- rhortty in acting as he did, and that xyl should have presented to the league charges against the player who he alleged insulted him. Hill was cross-examined by. O'Rourke at the meeting. At o'clock the testi- mony was all submitted and Messrs. Porter, Burns and Mccarthy retired to decide the matter.

CHANGE TO BUILD
 STRATEGIC ROADS |SDEM0NSTRATED

Strategic highways can now be con- structed pursuant to the provisions of the $5,000,0OO federal aid roads bill (which has just been signed by Presi- dent Wilson. The first of these high ways necessary for military purposes would naturally be the road which parallels the boundary between the United States and Mexico, and traver- ses the States of Texas, New Mexico. Arizona and California.
 The cost of construction of these jointly-built highways is to be borne 50 per cent. by the federal government and 50 per cent. by the states; the federal monies being divided propor tionate to area, population, and post road mileage. The largest amount allotted to any state is to Texas, by reason of it's. large area. The other three mentioned states also have a very large allowance.
 Therefore it would be possible to secure out of the appropriations for this year and 1917 over million and a half of federal monies, which, to- gether with the contributions of the states would make over $3,000, 900 available for construction of the Mex ican frontier highways" comments Chairman George c. Dieh1 of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board. fp
 While it is not possible to give an exaqt estimate of the cost of construc- Iticn per mile, yet it is altogether likely that the first two appropriations by the national government would be suf- ficient to entirely complete this high way, which would be useful not only from military and commercial stand points, but would attract road travel
 CTS from all over the cou1t try. partic- ularly those driving to pr from points in Southern California.
 Ut is interesting to note that the next most important highways from a military viewpoint are those along the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards Long stretches of these roads have already been improved. and, from the monies available from the first and sec ond appropriations, the connecting gaps can be completed so that within a period of two or three years com plete road arteries along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Mexican frontier can be constructed. s
 There will remain only the highway along the northern boundary of the United States to make circle of high ways around the margin of the entire country. This marginal highway can be supplemented by three highways east and west and eight or nine high ways north and south within the linn lit of the amount stated in the federal aid good roads bill and what the states will contribute. This system of fed eraI roads, in connection with what the various states are doing within a period of six or seven years will make for most comprehensive internal de- velopment of the country, and the highways will serve military, commer- cial, and general travel purposes"

DECISION ON NICE
 POINT RECORDED

Waterbury. July 22.-A point which had not yet been settled in this juris- diction Is cleared up in decision made by Compensation Commissioner Fred eric M. williams in the case of Ray Hubert and the Farrel Foundry & Ma chine Co.,. of Al.soris. Commissioner Ws Hams holds that an emp'oyee un- der the act may, in the exercise of Eaod judgment. become dissatisfied with the treatment supplied by the pby ysician selscted by the company and secure treatment with physician of his own selection, without forfeiting his right to reimbursement by hte com pany for any expenses incurred In this manner and paid by the employee. The finding in the matter was filed to-day in the office of the clerk of the Supe- rior Court in this city.
 The finding does not say that the change of physicians and treatments may be effected at any time with this result. but that only when the exer- else of good judgment warrants it. It also knocks out the belief which had existed to the effect that such a pro- cedure was only Justified, and recovery under the compensation act possible, when the company's physician was guilty of malpractice in his treatment. This was the contention of an insur- ance company representative at the
 hearing on the matter, he claiming that inasmuch as the company's phy- sic1an, who first treated Lubert, had done nothing that was bad medical
 practice there was no basis for recoy- cry of the expenses by. Lubert, even though the treatment had no good ef- feet.
 Lubert, while in the employ of the Farrel company, received a wound on the Joint of his index finger which he at once reported as he should. He
 was treated at the emergency hospital of the company and later by a com pany physician. In>spite of the treat ment his arm became streaked with red and highly inflamed, while shis glands reacted characteristicaIly, as in cases of septicaemia or blood-poison- ing. Lubert. it is found, was a. man of high intelligence and large earning capacity, and knowing the grave dan- gers of blood poisoning he went to New Haven and showed his arm and
 hand to pr. William Verdi Dr. Verdi at once opened the wound and imme- diate relief followed. Hubert paid pr. Verdi out of his own pocket. some s27. and the attempt to recover this sum from the company re- suited in the hearing by agreement be- fore Commissioner Williams. The lat ter finds that the action of Hubert was justified under the circumstances and
 has found against the claim that mal-
 practice on the part of the Ansonia physician was essential to cause re- pany. mI ,.f There was some difference of opin-
 ion among physicians as to whether
 Lubert would lose 50 per cent. of the
 members efficiency permanently, or whether. as Dr. Verdi claims, the use
 is lost only temporarily and will re.
 turn after massage and exercise. Tc allow for proof of this point award
 Di the case is reserved for three months : by Commissioner Williams.
