enough hail fell here to co any
damage worth mentioning. Hail
storms are rarely in this section
of the country, and large hail are
still more rare. The hail Monday

in length and appeared to be several
hail stones frozen together in a

U. $. Aviators Destroy
 Three German Airplanes

Paris, Sept. 12-Word reached Paris late last night that Corporal Eugene Courtney Campbell, Jr., of Chicago, flying with the French squadrilla No. 65, had vanquished two German ma chimes in aerial engagements. It was also reported that Corporal Walter Lowell of Boston, member of the Lafayette squadron, brought down his third victim on Monday.
 A member of the Lafayette squad ron on leave gives the following ac- count of the aerial operations:
 >''The Lafayette pilots were engaged with an enemy formation of equal strength. Pilots of Squadrilla No. 65 lowered nearby, refraining from inter vening out of sportsmanship, but 8 fresh batch of German air craft ap- peared and attacked the three Ameri- cans. The aviators of Squadrilla 65 then hastened up and helped to drive off the Germans. It was during this brush that Corporal Campbell bagged his two Germans"

 In the second proclamation Gen.

 The action of the Second district board in calling officially to the att .tention of the district the circum- stances of many men who have given up their employment expecting to be in camp at this time issbelieved to be the forerunner of like notices from other boards of the city. The Fourth division board, Edward c. Spargo, chairman, and George M. Coughlin, secretary, has made arrangements with some local shops to give tempor- ary employment to men recommend ed to the factories. The board is not conducting an employment agency, but is making efforts to keep men at work until they are summoned to en- train for camp and in instances where men used poor judgment and left their places in shops too early the Fourth division board has helped them to find work These men are |, now supporting themselves while others are dependent either upon, the charity of their friends or of the city to keep them fed until the call is is- sued.

HARDWICK BILL TO KILL DRAFT
 IS VOTED DOWN Would Prevent Service Abroad Without Consent
 of Each Man. . DRAFT LAW HELD
 AS CONSTITUTIONAL Situation Serious-Tends to
 Impair Military
 Efficiency.

Washington, Sept. 12-Denouncing the introduction of such proposition, the Senate military committee report ed today. adversely Senator Hardwick's s resolution that would provide that the consent of every drafted man must be obtained before he is required to perform foreign service. The com mittee, the report says, believes the draft law is constitutional and that every man drafted into the National Army can be used abroad.
 The situation arising out of this spirit of opposition to the selective draft act is serious" "-says the report, land taken in connection with the un- rest among the civilian population growing out of the commercial and industrial conditions, stimulated in some cases doubtless by pro-German sympathizers and propagandists, places our country in a situation of extreme peril at a time when all should be united in a common cause. 2 "It is the view of the committee that the selective draft act is neither violative of American tradition nor of the constitution, and, entertaining this view, the committee feels justified in saying that there is no necessity for Sucn lesiSldlAon- as tIidL pTOpoSSu' either on the ground of expediency or necessity. The psychological effect of calling in question an act, the princf- pies of which,. 1t seems to the com mittee. have heen sustained by the courts of the country, Is bad, and the tendency sof 1t all is to impair the military efficiency of the men who are already in the service and of those who may yet be called to serve in this time of need" N

ment to camp for period of about three years.
 The military police. a special branch of the military service with extraor- dinary powers for transportation and freedom of action when wearing the sleeve emblem bearing the initials 'SM. P.,'' will hereafter be a familiar sight in this city.
 Taken from the ranks by special war department orders, each man Is furnished with 24 rounds of anamuni- ton flor an arnpy pistol, is given spe- cial permit which allows search of homes without a warrant, transporta- ton for himself or party over any railroad' trolley or boat line, accom- |modation in any hotel or residence and permission to appear in either military or civilian attire. Their duty is to preserve order and to search for men wanted in the army.
 Through their appeal the entire scr vice of the Department pf Justice is enrolled and even the women opera |tives of the government are utilized for military purposes.
 It is unlikely that any other fugi- tive who may be in Bridgeport will escape from the net which has been thrown about the city.

RUSS WILL WIN OUT REGARDLESS
 OF HER SAVIOR
Nation Will Pull Through, Whether Korniloff or

London, Sept. 12.-Leslie Urquhart one of the mos prominent mining and oil engineers in Russia, who has just arrived in London, in an interview in the Daily Mail today says:
 T have faith in Russia. I have known the country more than 20 years and sGe will pull through. ** Whether Gen. Kornilof will prove the savior of society I cannot tell, but of this I am sure, a military dfc- tatorship has got to come.''
 After paying a tribute to General Korniloff as lat least man. of ac- tion," Mr.sUrquhart asserts that there are immense risks and few compen- sating gains for the Germans in a fur ther advance on Pet<ograd, even if the time of the year and the character of the country permitted
 Russia, MT. Urquhart said, is tired of war just like all the other bellig- erent peoples, but is not tired enough to make a separate peace. He ada ed:
 T can say with absolute confidence that the whole Russian people would be dead against a separate peace and would make short work of anyone that attempted to negotiate it.''
 MT. Urquhart characterized Premier Kerensky as 'an honest visionary.
 < At the bottom he is a talker, and little else. Premier Kerensky is afraid of the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates, which is a self constituted organization of idealists, theorists, anarchists and syndicalists, with hardly any working men or sol diers among them. Some of them are known to be in German pay. Their ideas of discipline not only have ruined the army, but all Russian in d,,st,-i<, Jissrnl {"
