Given six- Months.

Hartford, Dec. 1S.-William Thom- as. colored. of Bridgeport, who was arrested there, Sunday night, after Q spirited pistol fight between the po- lice and frequenters of g resort con ducted by him. was brought here to- day for arraignment on a federal in- dictment charging him with selling liquor without a: government license.
 In moving for sentence of the negro, District Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy recommended that the nini- mum sentence of six months be pro- nounced on the man so state author ities, who wanted Thomas on a much more serious charge, could have him without undue delay. MT. Spellacy said if it should appear that the state wished to try Thomas earlier than six months hence he would try and get President Wilson to pardon the mah so he could receive the punishment merited by his hagrant offenses against the peace of the state.

 Coming Soon.

Yale Men Told to Stay in College and
 Complete Courses. i
 New Haven, Dec. 18.-The highest patriotic service which Yale under graduates, particularly those under draft or officers of training camp age, can render to their country at this time is to continue their college work and complete their courses, says a statement from the university emer- Rency war council made public today.
 .aThe United 9tates," the statement says, c'.annot afford to lose a large proportion of the best equipped young men through early and thoughtless enlistment as privates. England made this mistake and paid dearly for it. Fanatical haste will not win the war. Determined, consci- entious effort must prepare America for the ultimate victory"
 The statement points out that It's advice is in harmony with that recent ly given out by the government and is signed by President Arthur T, Hadley and Secretary Anson Phelps Stokes.

 A clew as to the perpetrators wa. given to the police by the, Rev. Frazer Langford, pastor of church, who re ported that four months ago mar was noticed lurking about the execu tive mansion and that he continued to haunt the locality until a weel ago when he disappeared.
 The police are of the opinion tha the attempt was made by pro-GeI I mans.
