YALE TAKES ON
APPEARANCE OF
A WAR COLLEGE
Entire Scientific Strength of
University Enlisted In
Preparations.

New York June 14-That the en-
tire scientific strength of Yale uni
versity, in addition to at least a quar-
ter Of it's undergraduate body, is now
enlisted in various government war
activities was declared by President
Arthur T. Hadley, head of the New
Haven institution, today, following
patriotic rally Of four hundred Yale
graduates at the Yale club in this city.
After joining the graduates in honor
ing Captain Robert M. Danford, u. S.
A., who has drilled the Yale students
in artillery work for the past two
years. President TIadley told of the
important part which the scientists
and laboratory forces of his univer-
sity had been asked by the national
ADMINISTRATION to take in fitting this
country for active participation in the
world war.
1.-THE physiological laboratory OF the
| Yale Medical School has received from
| the government ample funds to devel-
| OPP and furnish the best sort of gas
masks for the army aud to deal with
the whole great problem of warfare
| by gases in its defensive and offensive
aspects declared DR.. Hadley 1.-THE
work of the faculty has been less wide
| ly advertised than that of the students,
| but it has been none the less signifi-
cant.
| Professor Chittenden is a member
of the National Research Council,
chosen by the Academy Of Sciences at
the request of the President and to
advise him regarding the nations war
problems. Yale was the first of the
| large universities to organize a COM
nittee under the direction of this
council to cooperate actively in the
| problem of national defense"
DR.. Hadley gave figures showing
that the enrolment of Yale students
in government military service is 7o6
men. In addition, 125 men are en-
rolled in volunteer ambulance work,
besides the body Of seniors and juniors
ready to go whenever the French gov
eminent authorizes the university to
send it's mobile hospital unit.
The total for all organized forms
of war service at the close Of the
year cannot fall short of thousand
said DR.. Hadley, and meantime among
the younger men who remain at the
university there are more than $50
taking regular drill and military in
struction, nearly half Of whom are
members of the Reserve Officers,
Training Corps.
Captain Danford made a speech in
which he spoke of a new armory now
in the course of erection at New Ha-
ven for the students.
"Our capacity when under way" he
said, will be from 1000 to 1900 stu
dents, and no doubt we will have that
number, especially if universal train
ing is adopted in this country prin-
D ciple which we in the service so hope
4 to see. Our lack of it should be a
tremendous object lesson to our coun-
i try today, since here we are, two
months after a declaration of war, abb
solutely impotent from a military
standpoint and forced to remain so
for long time to come

Italians Gain But
 Can't Retain Trenches


 Vienna, June IF, via London-The repulse of all Italian attacks in their new offensive in the Trentino is re- ported in9an official statement by the war office today. The text of the statement says:
 Eastern and southeastern fronts The situation is unchanged.
 Italian front-The attack, which has been expected for some. time, of the Sixth Italian army on the Sette Com uni plateau and in the Sugani valley has begun. After careful artillery preparation lasting for several days the enemy yesterday threw his in fantry into the fight on the front be- tween Asiago and the Brenta river. Northwest of Asiago the Italians were successful, after great sacrifices in penetrating our trenches. but in the evening the enemy was completely elected.
 Fighting was especially obstinate near Monte Zebio and in the region of Monte Forno, where the assault was shattered by the bravery of the Styr- ian troops. In the Sugani valley all enemy attacks collapsed.
 "Isonzo front-Nothing special to report.''

CHANGES IN PAY, CRAPHOPHONE GO.
 CLERKS STRIKING
Thirty-Two Walk Out When Efficiency Mans New Sys-
 tenn is Installed.

Thirty-two time clerks and transfer clerks at the West End plant of the American Graphophone Co. went on strike this morning because of a change in the system of pay. .
 According to the men they were getting SIS cents an hour up to Mon day when, through an efficiency man, they were placed on a day work basis and given, they assert, an average of $16. They say they had been earning between $22.50 and $25.
 The strikers said they were given a new schedule of hours, from $50 o'clock to 5:10 o'clock. with 20 min utes less for lunch. They allege the work a half hour to an hour over time, without pay now, making up re- ports.
 Three girls and four men were all that were left of the time and trans fer clerks. when at S:3O this morning the company gave them half an hour to think over the change and what | they would do about it.
 G. H. Emery, who is the chief of the clerks, said this afternoon that there had been a walkout. '"They thought we were slxinning them, but we were not" he said. He denied l there was cut in wages, or that the men worked longer hours.

IDENTIFIED DEAD
 NUMBER IT IN MINE EXPLOSION.
Hope That More Escaping Pois-
 onous Gas May Yet Be Found.

Butte, Mont. June 12-More than a score of funerals passed through Butte streets today carrying to the grave victims of last Fridays fire in the Granite Mountain and the Speculator mines of the North Butte Copper Min ing Go. A total of 109 bodies hava been taken from the mine and 62 arc believed yet to be inside, making 6 total of I'll dead. Thirty one nina CTS have been rescued alive.
 Rescue work had progressed to such an extent today that it was thought possible that every level of the com pany's properties except those below the 2,S00 foot line. which have been flooded with water, will have been ex- plored before night.
 The fact that 25 men were taken alive from the mine on Sunday and that others were found yesterday be- hand a bulkhead which kept out the poisonous gases has caused renewed hope that men are still alive in the mine.

Woman Scares Away
 Burglar Coming In
 Window of Her Home

One attempted robbery and the loot ing of two stores in this city were re- ported to the police today. Miss Anna Grindley, of 76S Park avenue, routaa a thief who was trying to force an en- trance to her home at midnight Miss Grindley was awakened by the noise the intrduer made ripping off a screen on one of the first floor windows.
 She got out of bed and after inves- tigating saw the man trying to raise the sash. Miss. Grindley lighted the gas in the room and then called the police on the phone. The knowledge that his presence had been discovered scared the burglar away and the police could find no trace of him.
 The store of Isaac Wiseman, of 7os Madison avenue, was entered last night. All the cigars and cigarettes in the establishment were taken and the cash register which was empty and is valued at $325 was smashed by the angry thieves.
 Automobile tires valued at $65o were stolen from the store of Sam Cort, 1511 State street. A rear win dow was forced.

Mrs Henderson said she was highly mortified when her daughter-in-law began to imbibe fancy drinks at the Country club. She begged Mrs. Friz- zell to leave the grill room but her efforts were in vain. Finally two young men induced the young wife to go out on the porch where they had her walk up and down until she felt better.
 Mrs. Henderson also testified that she had seen Mrs. Frizzell painting her face. Don't do that It isn't refined" the witness declares she said
 You can't stop me or anybody e1se," Mrs. Frizzell is said to have Irepiied..
 Mrs. Frizzell declares the Tender sons alienated the affections of theil son from her but the parents of the young husband deny this. It is ex- peeted the trial will be finished by tomorrew,
