being to take half the time value from

SHOULD PUT NAMES
 OF MEN WHO REFUSE ON MELLOW" CARDS
Governor HoIComb Gives His Opinion of Connecticut "SIack. ers"-Less Than 1000 oi These In Entire State.

Speaking before the annual meeting of the Connecticut Society, Sons of the American Revolution, in Hartford on WashingtOns Birthday, Governor Marcus H. HOlcomb told very plainly what he thinks of the comparatively small number of men who have re- fused to give the information called for by the agents who are taking the Connecticut military census.
 The Governor aroused d great deal of enthusiasm when he delivered his speech. Tn the course of it he referred to the military census now in progress in the state. He said that the number of refusals to give information re- quired had been small, and that the total in the whole state would prob. ably not be greater than 1000.
 ''The names of those who refused in formation" the governor said, "are be- ing put on separate list at the state headquarters in Hartford. For this purpose special blue cards are being used-the cards for those who refused to give information ought to be vel low"

Special blanks have been pre-. pared by the military census state head quarters in Hartford for taking the en- rOllments of these nurses. The blanks are similar to those used for taking thu census of men. but differ in some Of the questions.

 ''In what line of professional work arc you at present employed?
 Tn what department of nursing are you best qualified for service?
 "Are you a registered nurse? In what state? When?

 The following statement concerning the enrolment of nurses was given ou: yesterday by the state headquarters O. the Connecticut bureau of military cen. sus:-
 ie, l. h., interfere with the work of the Red Cross. The governor has the very highest appre. citation of the value of the work and use- fulness of the Red Cross. He has been instructed, however, to make a census of the resources of this state which might be valuable in time of war. One of thd most valuable of these resources is la make available instantly for work in any part of this state the services of the train. ed nurses of Connecticut"

BREWING FRUIT JUICE.

An Oregon brewer is said to be mak. ing fortune out of unfermented fruit juices.
 Before the state went dry, he saw prohibition coming-and unlike many of his fellow brewers refused to wall about it. He knew there were many kinds of drinks that people liked, and believed there were many uses to which a brewery could be put. He observed the rapidly growing taste for fresh fruit juices, and decided to embark on a new enterprise.
 Before the prohibition law went into effect, he stopped making beer and equipped his brewery for producing apple juice and loganberry juice. His three breweries are now running at full capacity. He is employing more men than ever before, and making more money than ever.
 There are other brewers in various prohibition localities doing much the

CONNECTICUT MILITARY
 CENSUS PARAGRAPHS


 By AUBREY L. MADDOCK, Director Publicity Service, Connecticut Bureau of Military Census.
 Preparedness parades were all right in their place, but the Connecticut military census, now in progress, is the greatest preparedness parade of all. Have you done your part?
 Connecticut leads ill the manufac ture of war munitions, insurance, the tobacco industry, metal products-and PRACTICAL. PREPAREDNESS.
 America cannot be like the ostrich, burying her head in the sand and feel ing secure She must be wide awake and prepare-just as Connecticut is preparing through her great military census-for any emergency that may come.
 No man with a spark of patriotism in his soul would be so small as to refuse to answer the simple questions asked by the state of Connecticut in the military census now in progress. Governor Marcus H. Holcomb said that the names of men who refuse to give information for the Connecticut military census ought to be put on yellow cards. Is there any doubt what he meant?
 If war ever comes to America the value of Connecticut's military census will be fully realized. It's better to be prepared and not be called than to be vailed and not be prepared.
 Refusal to respond to the call for information asked in the Connecticut military census iy miserable sclfshness that automatically puts the person whn refuses upon the suspicious list"
 Do yourself juStice-co-operate fully in the Connecticut military census

Army War College Measure Provid-
ing for Universal Military
Training, Is Summarized.

Recognition by congress OF state
of war with Germany will be follow
ed by passage of emergency appro..
priations and then the adoption OF
The latter is the broadest measure
ever placed before the people OF the
United States, and with the sentl-
ment of the country in complete ac-
cord with the measure its enactment
into law is assured. How it will
affect the youth Of the nation, what
will be required of them and other
provisions are probably unknown to
the majority of the people. -,
The military training bill as pre-
pared by the army war college in
concise form is as follows:
/. The land forces of the Unit
ed States consist of all male citizens
between the ages of twenty-one and
forty-tive years.
2: The army consists of overseas
garrisons, frontier forces, and train
3. The overseas garrisons Shall

stoned officers, enlisted men and
civilians as shall be necessary out
side the continental limits OF the
United States. The frontier forces
shall be that part of the regular
the frontier of the United States.
The training forces shall consist of
such permanent commissioned offic-
ers and enlisted men as shall be re-
Quired to train and provide for the
recruits called out annually for mill
tary training and service. The first
and second reserves are trained OF.
ficers and enlisted men liable to call
and by order of the president.
4. The training forces of the
United States shall consist of all
male persons liable to military ser
vice who have arrived at or will ar
rive at the age of IS years during
the year enaing on the day preceding
the first day of November. Except as
otherwise provided service in the

unless sooner discharged; the first
eleven months of such service snail

DAYS service shall be required in time
| of peace. The last seven years OF the
twelve year period shall be in the
second reserves, and reseryistS snail

1t is estimated by the war college
that 100000 youths of the age of IL

service. after eleven months active
service they will go into the reserves
and another half million will be
