CROWDS STORM BOOTHS.
 TO SIGN FOR DRAFT
Up to 2 o'C Clock This After noon 5,4O9 Had Answered
 Registration Order.

Enthusiasm, far greater enrolment than expected and harmony through out characterized National Registra- ton Day in New Britain, greater pro- visions being necessary for registra-
 ton than for taking care of those In opposition or trying to influence
 others in opposition. At ? o'clock this afternoon there was every indi- cation that the ragistration would not for exceed the voting list of those 5,4O9. On notable feature of today.s
 registration is that thosa Of foreign birth are the most anxious to register and announce their loySltah to Old Glory. Not one breath Of treason or
 opposition to conscrfptfon was mani- Tested by registration ofacials, Police men assigned to registration places or city guard details. It h expected that the number registered will far exceed 1000 at the close of the days activities. Those of foreign birth registering were far more enthusias- tic, If anything. over the procedure and determination of. downing the
 Central Powers than those of. Ameri-
 can birth. The registration. through
 out, took on / manifested patriotic
 demonstration. It proved . reveia-
 ton to those fearing that newly
 naturalized citizens and those of foreign birth would falter in their d. legiance to thsir adopted country,
 Extra precautions were taken by Mayor George A. Quigley. and Chief of Police William J. Rawlings to pre- vent possible disorder. Regular po- licemen. supernumerar1es and mem 1 hny SeP over 460 in the aggregrate. were on call, many beinG .on active duty. Thslr serytoes wgeses mi neeasd Ipstsi - was necessary for the authorities to furnish adequate quarters for the ap- phcants to register" Not a tone of discord was heard. Street policemen and many in plain clothes had no difflculty in handling the crowds and no arrests for reasonable uttArauoos are reported. The day was eyAn marS quiet than one given over to . nA- tional election.
 | Chief Rawlings took immediate charge of the police detail visiting the six registration placss and a. signing extra policemen as required. He found 1t necessary to send extra men to the Fifth ward. where the
 rush of applicants for registration swamped the force and made it neo-
 essary to establish two hastily irn- provised booths in a dance hall and "a vacant store on Broad street. Here the registrations far exceeded expecta- tations, 2.O00 being enrolled at 2 o'clock with long lines in front of
 the booths. The enrollment will far exceed the tax Nst. There was no disorder no opposition to the con-
 scription law voiced but an enthua-
 astic desire to enroll. Many had to
 consult police officers on street duty
 as to where written directions were to send them.
 Major w. w. Bullen was in active { charge. of the City Guard detail with Lieut.. w. O. Cook as officer of the day and Sergeant Frederick o. Rad- clifte as commandant of the guard.

 Washington. June 5.-The food situation in Connecticut and what should be done to improve it was dis cussed at some length here at con ferences between Herbert s. Hoover. prospective food administrator for the government during the war. and officials of the department, of agricul- ture and the Council of National De- fenec. on the one hand. and George M. Landers, of New Britain, chairman of the food committee of the Connec- ticut state council of defense. and Robert Scovill, a member of that cor. mittee.
 MT. Landers also got in touch with Representative Lonergan of Connecti- cut. He is understood to favor strong measures to control the food supply of the nation for the benefit of the American people and the allies of this country.
 willett Smith. a Connecticut man. is being held as a prisoner of war at Dulmen, Germany, according to in- formation received at the state de partpent. Smith gave his address as care of Mrs. M. Shepard. 6s Spring street, South 'Norwalk, Conn. He is reported to have been captured aboard an armed merchant ship which the Germans insist is tanta- nount to a warship. This govern ment holds that men 90 captured cannot be considered prisoners of war but; the fact ie that they are, m Ger many It Is. not believed much can be donc for them at present sss
 Hartford. June 5. .--The food supply committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense has written to all members of the Connecticut delega. ton in congress asking that xhere be incofporatad In the emergency axTi- cultural approximation bill now. under cofl kion provision wshitiissylT ma1kS possib1e the appofhtmefita of 3 home economics leader for each county of the state. Conditions in the state are outlined in the letter as fol- lows:
 ''In the agricultural appropriation bill now before Congress there is an tteup providing for . woman county teent in every county as part of the extension service.
 As Connecticut Is a consuming and not . producing state. our experience has shown that the saving of food will be of the utmost importance to our people. This saving can best be affected in our Judgment by the em- p1oyment of women competeAt. to in- struct the housewives in home econ omics. Fhe expenses of such women will be met by subscription (and has already been guaranteed in the eight counties of Connecticut) but unless the, Federal government appropriates the salaries their services cannot be available in time to meet the pres- ent crisis. We are confident that tho best interests of Connecticut will be served by including these items In the emergency agricultural appropria- ton bill.''

Smith changed his street clothes
leisurely after Starbuck had gone, and
when he went downstairs stopped at
the desk to toss his room key to the
clerk.
The hotel register was lying open on
the counter, and from force of habit he
ran his eye down the list of late ar
rivals. At the end of the list, In
sprawling characters upon which the
ink was yet fresh, he read his sem
tence, and for the first tirae In his life
knew the meaning of panic fear. The
newest entry was:
"Josiah Richlander and daughter,
Chicago"
Smith was not misled by the place
name. There was only one Josiah
Richlander" in the world for him, and
he knew that the Lawrenceville mag
nate, in registering from Chicago, was
only following the example of those
who, for good reasons or no reason.
use the name of their latest stopping
place for registry address.

THE RUSH..

Consider the sqcad as one unit Of n
company on the skirmish line, de-
ployed for the "fire attack" Fit is i'm
practicable for the company to ad-
vance as whole against the enemy's
lines, 1t may advance in rushes. This
is done either by platoons or by squad.
The new line to be occupied Is indi-
Gated by the platoon leader or the cap
tain of the company, who gives the
command "By squad, from the right
Qeft) RUSH!" This means that the
squad on the extreme right Of the
company is to move, or rush, to the
new line first.
The men Of the squad. who may be
lying fiat on the ground, or in a kneel-
ing position, gather themselves In read
mess to spring forward. The corporal,
at the word "RUSHl" cries "FollOw
mel" and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small a target
as possible to the enemy. leads the
squad to the new lIhe. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor
poral's command or the signal for
'hdlt," made by thrusting the arm up
vertically from the shoulder, and at
his command reopen fire. Unless the
platoon or company commander has
designated the distance to be covered
in the rush. the corporal of the squad
selects the new line.
After the first squad has taken up
the new line, the other squads fol-
low in succession, each starting The
rush when its immediate predecessor
has gained the new line. The various
positions that the soldier takes in the

CHAPTER XII.
A Reprieve.


Smiths blood ran cold and there was
momentary attack of shocked con-
sternation, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was no time to waste in curious
speculations as to the why and where
fores. Present safety was the prime
consideration. With Josiah Richland-
er and his daughter in Brewster, and
guests under the same roof with him,
discovery, Identification, disgrace were
knocking at the door. He could har-
Dor no doubt as to what Josiah Rich
lander would do If discovery came. For
so long time as should be consumed
in telegraphing between Brewster and
Lawrenceville, Smith might venture to
call himself free man. But that was
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed a
passing autocab at the hotel entrance,
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwin's ranch had been
tossed to the rear before he remem.
bcred that he had expressly declined
n dinner invitation for that same eve
ming at Hillcrest, pleading business to
Mrs. Baldwin In person when she had
called at the office with her daughter.
Happily, the small social offense
went unremarked, or at least unre-
buked. Smith found his welcome at
the ranch that of man who has the
privilege of dropping in unannounced.
The colonel was loosely hospitable, as
he always was; Mrs. Baldwin was gra-
ciously lenient-was good enough, In
deed, to thank the eleventh-hour guest
for reconsidering at the last moment /;
and Corona
Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass Notwithstanding, also, that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that Of family friend,
Smith could never be quite sure Of the
bewitchingly winsome young woman
who called her father "colonel-daddy."
Her pose, II 1t were pose, was the at
titude Of the entirely unspoiled child OF
nature and the wide horizons. When
he was with her she made him think
of all the words expressive Of trans.
parency and absolute and utter uncon-
cealment. Yet there were moments
when he fancied he could get passing
glimpses of subtler personality at the
