John Street Widening "Fool Plan," ]" Asserts
 Dr. Robert Lynch

The proposed widening of John street was aired before the board of appraisal of benefits and damages last night and was not discussed by the interested citizens in any mild terms. Dr. Robert J. Lynch, former member of the board of apportionment, bluntly called the proposition a fool plan,' ? intimated there were ulterior motives behind it, and that the administration was apparently determined to put the work through. Harry H. DeLoss of the Handy & Harman Co.,. endorsed Dr. Lynch's characterization.
 Several attorneys appeared for property owners of the real estate and the figures given by those who used any showed that damages in the az gregate about s350,0oo will be claim ed. Judge F. L. Wilder for the Sachs interests insisted that his clients would be damaged to the extent of $200, 900; Attorney Jacob Klein claim ed $30,o00 for the E. and c. Levin property; Attorney Robert Gould $41,- 900 for c. D. Buckingham; Attorney James A. Marr made a claim of $96,- BOT for Handy & Harman; John F. Keane estimated his own damage at $20,000; Attorney David s. Day ar- gued a claim of $57, ,000 for T. L. Wat son. They were other smaller claims made in which the figures were not given and one more of the Armour Co. will be filed at the council meeting Monday night.

ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE ''HEAvEN'S
 WlLL'---TERAUCHI

Tokio, June 30-(Corresponden -'tThe Anglo-Japanese alliance is the will OF Heaven as well as the work of man." was the. epigrammatic phrase in a message which Premier Count Terauchi recently issued on the sub ject of the relations between Japan and Great Britain. With Viscount Ichiro Motono, Japan's Foreign Min ister, and others. Count Terauchi sent a communication to ''The New East,' a monthly review published by British residents at Tokio.
 The official Japanese contributors emphasize their desire to make the Anglo Japanese alliance a permanent agreement Count Terauchi said that the alliance was the natural outcome of the sincere desire of the high con- tracting parties to guarantee perma- nently the peace of the East. "Its indisputable benefits in the past are already clear,'' he wrote. And he added s'It is destined to play even a greater part in the future. The inter ests of Great Britain and Japan have never confiicted and never will con- flict''
 Vscount Motono revealed several aspects of the history of the alliance.
 I've must admit he said, that had it not been for our British alliance we should have encountered the greatest difficulties in the prosecution of our war with Russia. During that war Great Britain did us inestimab1e ser- vices, still little known to the general public Great Britain probably would not have been able to make the agree ment she signed with Russia had it not been for her Japanese alliance. cannot say whether the authors of the Anglo-Japanese alliance had in mind the possibility of general conf1agra- ton between the great European power when they signed the treaty. But the fact remains that at the pres- ent moment the alliance is playing a most important part in the great war.
 The Minister was firm in the opinion that the alliance would last long after the war From Japans point of view the maintenance of the balance of power in the Far East was absolutely necessary. Japan and Great Britain, he wrote, had immense common in- terests in Asia that must be protected. Whatever contingencies the future might have in store, the close unity of Japan and Great Britain was, in the minister's opinion, an indispensa- ble condition for the maintenance of order and peace in the Far East; as Japan's rights and interests. He con cluded:
 '.As long as Japan and Great Britain are united by true and loyal alliance we need have no fears for the future"

New York, June 3O-Captains, en- gineers and crews on tugs employed in the harbor demanded an inerease in wages and threatened today to tie up shipping on Monday unless their de- mands are met. Captains and engi- neers ask an additional $25 a month,

Boasts Clevelanders For Lack of Pepper In
 Their Style of Play

In severe banning handed the Cleveland Indians for their poor show ing this season, Henry F. Edwards, writing in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, says. among other things:
 They are not playing the ball of which they are capable They are where they stand in the league race becas1es of cratic pitching, sacrifice of team work to individual starring, 1ail- ure of pinch hitters to deliver. lack of aggressiveneas in recent games, failure to mix up the system of play and managerial Fnista1res
 !. Not one pitcher has escaped the charge of >being inconsistent. Cowa- lesl1he has been the steadiest, with Bagby almost as reliable. As for the others, each seems to have been un- able to come through with two or three well pitched contests in success sion Each has been guilty of care lessness in pinches, an example of which was the bah that Guy Morton handed to Glee Gooch of the Athletics Sunday, a bah that 'Gooch hit for a home run with the bases filled
 There arc members of the team who apparently are seeking to hit the bail out of the lot when a base hit would win the game. There have been att tempts. some of them successful, to steal third when two were out and ss1ccess was not worth the risk
 Passing over the weird display of pinch hitters cartier in the season. there was an apparent lack of aggres siveness in many of the games played in the East. List1essness replaced pep per and 1ethargy was shown in the field and on the bases. The Indians plan of attack seemed to be solved in advance on several occasions.
 Managerial mistakes? Every man ager makes them Lee Fohl knows that game and knows how it should be played to win pennant. Neverthe- less, a, few games have been lost or tied recently that might have been won had the Indian chief been 1nfaM- bIe a3

GOVERNOR CALLS YOUTH OF STATE
 TO JOIN C0LORS
By His Excellency, MARCUS H. HOLCOMB,
 Governor.
A PROCLAMATION

On the 25th day of, March, 1917, the first of the units of the Con- necticut National Guard were called into federal service. On the 9th day of April, 1917, a state of war was declared to exist be- tween the United States of Amer ica and Germany. On the 18th day of June, 1917, the President of the United States by procla- nation appointed the period of June 2Srd to June 30fh as Re cruiting Week. for the regular army, and called upon unmar- ried men between the ages of IS and 40 years who have no de- pendeuts and who are not engag- ed in pursuits vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war, to present themselves for enlistment during that week, to the number of 10000. One June 25, the First and Second Regiments of the , Connecticut National Guard were approximately 1900 short of their required war strength, and on that date it was still necessary for Connecticut to furnish 1,224 men as volunteers for the regular army of the United States. June 80 is the last day on which enlistments in the National Guard or regular army will count towards reducing the quota to be assigned to Con- necticut for the new selective draft army. r AlthoughTvigorUus efforts have been made'in Connecticut to stin- ulate recruiting, the latest figures from the several counties of the state indicate that to date the number of men recruited is many hundreds short of those required. Connecticut with her wonderful record in times of war since the foundation of the Colony, must not be found wanting at this critical juncture of the greatest of all wars.
 Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me, call the of Connecticut who may be eligi- bIe, to present themselves on the 30th day of June, 1917, for the purpose of volunteering in either the National Guard of Connecti- cut or the regular army, to the end that Connecticut may fulfill the obligations imposed upon her.
