uniform him, hand him a high-pow- cred rifle and then tell him to shoot at anybody that doesn't halt, you are taking long chances.
 The policeman comedies that the youths bullets, if aimed out in front of trenches towards an alien enemy would go as straight and kill as suc- cessfully as anybody else's, but the policeman hsakes his head about the army spirit when applied in a friend ly town.
 And which Is right? Well as a ci- william you better not try to find out. You can leave 1t safely to tho police man and the sentry as to which is put on post. But better make the first rule of your life to halt, and halt quickly whenever you are ordered to. F The more unreasonable the sentry's order seems the more quickly you had better obey it. A high official of the Taft administration found that out in a national guard armory. He knew that proper orders to sentries to guard the President should include orders to permit no one to approach except members of the official party. The official knew this. The sentry he approached to join President Taft, he being chief military aide on duty with the President, did not know it. The official presumed upon his posi- tion and rushed past ignoring an or der to halt. He received a gun butt on the head and as he turned he fac ed a bayonet thrust at his ribs.
 He argued afterward that the sen- try showed bad judgment, but the of ficers of the guard, who had not properly given the orders, could not find it in the regulations anywhere that sentry has to show good judg- ment. And he was not punished New York Mail.

All officers. of the Fourth regiment,

Its companies are divided as follows: A, B. c and D, first battalion; E, F; B and K, second battalion; H and I, the Bridgeport Rifles; L. of Stratford and M, of Fairfield. third battalion. The other companies in the county are divided to form the other battalions.

FREIGHT TOO HEAVY
 FOR SHEPAUG BRANCH

That a serious situation resulting from the congestion of freight traf- fife exists in some parts of the state was indicated, when residents or Litchfield and Washington filed pe- tition with the public utilities com mission, asking that the New Haven road be ordered to strengthen the railroad bridges above and below Washington to allow heavier cars to reach LitchfieId.
 According to the petitioners, the New Haven has told shippers to load all freight cars to capacity or ship ments will not be accepted for trans portation. This prevents freight cars reaching Litchfield over the bridges of the Shepaug Branch, as New Ha- ven order bars. all cars exceeding 95, ,000 pounds from passing over that line. Incidentally, freight loconno- lives are also barred from using the Shepaug Branch, as the engines ex- ceed 95,00O pounds in weight. According to the petition, as the Fes,l. of the present freight situation heavy freight has been diverted, be- ing reloaded at Danbury or Hawley- vile, or left on a siding at Roxbury. The petition says that the situation | in Ltchfield and Washington is now ] 'intolerable.''
 The public utilities commission has
 assigned the case for a hearing on
 May 8, at 11:30 a. m., at the Capitol.

IN QUICK OBEDIENCE OF SENTRY
 LIES ONLY SAFETY OF CIVILIANS

From the days of Stonewall Jack son down the one great lesson taught to civilians by friendly armed forces in their midst is that the individual sentry is a poor person to play around. ,@ It was one of his own sentries, re- spending to a code of action built to stop the proving, alien enemy that brought Cornwall Jackson tumbling to his death off his war horse.
 And now that the opening days of the greatest war since that In which
 Jackson fell are upon us we find the sentry on post most everywhere we turn.
 Somebody interfered with a sentry and his high-powered steel bullet went crashing through houses for a long distance away and then killed a peaceful banker, sitting by his fire side. That was in an upstate town.
 Three dead is the toll 50 far of the sentries on duty in New Jersey. They i applied the same code that was ap- piled to stop proving foes in Stone wall Jackson's day and they had the same result because the person ap- preaching the sentry happened to be friend instead of foe.
 Yet counting on friendliness, or counting on the hope of being recog-
 nized, they failed to obey the first, stern rule of war. It is never "to monkey with a sentry any more than you would monkey with a buzz saw" Up in police headquarters they are talking this situation over behind closed doors. War time is no time openly to discredit the armed sentry, but the old policemen of this town
 are saving, each to the other, "YOu don't learn cop work in jiffy." They
 are arguing that when you call a | twenty-year old boy to the colors

OLIVER LODGE
 SAYS ENCLAN
 GAN FEED SELF
Scientific Methods Neces- sary To Raise Enough
 Food for British Isles

London. April 3O.-Sir Oliver Lodge in an appeal for greater state aid of scientific research, declares his be- lief that England can grow all the food necessary for feeding her people. if proper scientific methods are em- ployed. He says
 People state that the area of the British Isles is too small to feed the inhabitants. The effort has never been made. The area is certainly in adequate if in the twentieth century wel use the methods of the twelfth. But it must be known that of late years discoveries of the utmost impor- tance have cropped up in sporadic manner through individual enterprise and at private cost. though applica- tion of these discoveries on large scale has still to be made. And no one can doubt that multitude of other vital truths are awaiting dis coyery at the hands of biologists and chemists.
 Either we must grow our own food. or we must labor at other things to provide the wherewithal to purchase 1 it from abroad. Tow dependent we are on other lands the war has shown but the mistake of thus depending on them is continuous folly.
 'Let scientific men be encouraged not stingily but lavishly, to attack the problems connected with the fertility of the soil, and the best means of uti- izing solar energy in the production
 of the right kind of vegetation, and good results are bound to follow. What the nation chiefly lacks in this matter | is faith,
 '"The satisfactory promotion of sc
 entific discovery is an affair of millions Il of pounds sterling. The nation car afford to be lavish. The young en-
 ergy and the brains are ready; the
 means and equipment are lacking
 Even now, in war time, the ancient
 strangle-hold of official parsimony i.
 tight in many instances, and not ever
 now is official expenditure authorized
 which would enable schemes to move in the right direction. Private purse
 have to be appealed to, or we have tt take refuge in other work of a less ex pensive character. "So it has always been in the his tory of science. Poverty and self sacrifice are written large on the DOT tals of every scientific and educa tional establishment.
 ''Has the nation learned that it cal
 afford a great deal more in these di rections than it thought it could? I it has, the result will be brilliant be yond all expectation" t

artillery observing machines have been able to catch glimpses of the heavy howitzer shells. It is related of one of the British pilots that some time ago he saw 8 big Ger man howitzer shell coming apparent ly direct for him. It whizzed harm lessly, however, but the pilot was so angry that he spotted that particular gun. dived at it, and fired an entire drum of machine-gun bullets at the crew. He had not time to stop to see what damage, if any, his venge- fitness had caused.

BRITISH PENETRATE
GERMAN POSITIONS
GO THROUGH LINE IN FLANDERS
TO DEPTH OF OVER MILE
ALL DETECTIVES REACHED.

London.--Feld Marshal Haig has
begun new offensive east of Ypres.
The official statement from British
headquarters in France issued says
that the British attacked on wide
front and are making satisfactory
progress. A number of prisoners al
ready have been taken.
Field Marshal Haig's forces in the
offensive to the east Of Ypres in some
places have penetrated the German
lines to depth of one mile and have
rverrun the crest of the Passchen-
daele-Gheluvelt ridge.
The British already have penetrat.
ed well beyond the hamlet of Broad
seinde, in which lie the crossroads
formed by the highways between
zonnebeke and Moornled and Pas.
Schendaee and Beclaire.
Further to the south, Cameron GOV.
ert, where there had been much hard
lighting, was left well in the rear.
The northern wing of the onrushing
British troops was battling forward
within a short distance of Poelcap,
pele. 1t had a footing on the famous
Gravenstafel ridge, which juts out
from the Passcheudaele ridge to the
west, and had crushed through the
Zonnebeke-B e-Broadseinde ridge, which
Is an integral part of the Pasden-
daele-Gheluvelt chain.
Between the village of Broadseinde,
On the north, and Noordenhoek, more
than a mile to the south, the British
are holding the crest of the ridge in
the face of heavy counter attacks
Prisoners are coming in much more
rapidly and in greater numbers than
in the last push.
Everywhere the British have done
splendidly in one Of the most preten-
tious offenaves attempted on this
