Washington, July 9.-The last stel
necessary to make the entire nationa
guard available for duty in France
was taken today by President Wilson
with the issue of a proclamation draft
ing the state troops into the army o
the United States on Aug. 5.
To make certain that the nationa
defense act is carried out, the procla
\ nation also specifically declares the
men drafted to be discharged from the
old militia status on that date In thai
way the constitutional restraint upon
use of militia outside the country is
avoided and the way paved for sending
the regiments to the European 'front.'
Prior to the application of the draft
regiments in the northern and eastern
section of the country are called into
the federal service as national guards
men, in two increments to be mobiliz
ed on July Is and 25 Many units al
ready are federalized and presumably
they will be modified with the other
troops from their states. The guard
from the other states will be mobilized
on the day Of the draft. The arrange.
ment was made necessary to provide
for movement of the regiments south
to their concentration camps without
congestion and to the same end the
division of states into these increments
was revised from the original sched-
ule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until Aug s, so that all regi-
ments can be taken into the army sim
ultaneously.
Fourteen camp sites for the 16 tacti.
cal divisions into which the guard will
be organized for war purposes, have
been selected and the militia bureau is
preparing the, railway routing of the
troops to the camps. Seven of the
sites selected are in the southeastern
department, five in the southern and
two in the western. The two others
will be in the southeastern department.
The only two divisions positively as
signed are the nineteenth, including
the California guard, which will go to
Linda Vista, CAL, and the twentieth,
Including Oregon, Washington and 9th.
er states in the northwest, which will
go to Palo Alto, Cal.

First North Dakota Infantry =
Ordered Into Service July Is

young men of military age in Valley
City who should offer themselves for
service. At the present time there
are only about Is men, residents Of
Valley City, in the company. The re-
naming IS men come from various
parts Of the county. There seems to
be holding back among the young
men in town. This is not as it should
be, as Valley City does not want to be
behind the other towns in the state in
the performance of its duty to the ma.
ton. Those who are between the
ages of 18 and 4Oyears are the ones 1t
is desired to have enlist.
Are the young men of Valley City
going to continue to hold back?

ty young men from New Britain are
members Of the cavalry troop in Hart
ford and it Is thought that the names
or these men are not given as COM
ing from New Britain. They are on
the other hand, given as enlistm ents
from the Capital City. This being so
1t is the duty of New Britain to get
credit for these en1istments. Nor are
these the only ones. There are New
Britain men serving in the machine
gun platoons at Hartford. There are
New Britain men with the quarter
masters department, and some at
the headquarters of the National
Guard in Hartford. All these men
should be accounted for, and will be II
the blanks in the Herald are filled out
and sent into this office. Also, there
are a number of young men from this
town in the various training camps
throughout the country, training
camps that prepare men for commits
sions in the army. Plattsburg has a
goodly quota from New Britain.
1t is to find out all these things that
the Herald today starts on this cam
paign. The truth must be known.
The people of New Britain. want to
find out just what has been done in
the matter of enlistments here. Those
who have gone In the various branch
es Of naval service will not be credited
with the enlistments for the army;
but their names should be sent in with
the rest in order that this city may
present its real worth to the Cover
nor of the State and the army officials
at Washington. Fill out blank now.
Parents are urged to do the same for
any men in any branch of the SER
vice.

! Hartford, July 1S.-The Oranges of
the State are being called upon to as

! ter of the Grange, Charles T. Davis
| the following appeal was made:
"A campaign has been launched to
| eliminate non-productive hens. It is
stated by the Poultry Department Of
the Connecticut Agricultural College
| that there are at least half million
hens in Connecticut that have stopped
producing for the season. These hens
should be killed. They are consuming
at least $4,000 bushels of grain per
month. which is as truly wasted as
though thrown away. If killed, it
would stop this waste beside adding
about two million pounds of food to
our supply. If killed, the expense of
poultry keepers will be reduced and
the profits correspondingly increased.
Everyone in the State may know
how these ~unproductive hens may be
selected from the layers. Every men,
Der Of the Poultry Department of the
Connecticut Agricultural College has
agreed to devote his time, up to the
first of October, to demonstrate how
the poor layers and the non-layers
may be selected. This appears to me

City officials, from the Mayor down
to the humblest man in the service,
are wrough up over the action of the
state statistician in placing New Brit
aims net quota at 513 men for the
selective draft. 1t is felt in many
other quarters that this number of
men to be taken away from the city is
too high. Because of this feeling on
the part of many citizens the Herald
today starts on a campaign to deter
mine just how many men and boys
have enlisted from this city. Blanks
appear in today's paper, which, if
properly filled out, and returned to
this Office, will give some manner and
means Of finding out how New Brit
ain stands in it's relation to the Fed
eral Govern etent in the matter Of en-
Hstments.
The gross quota given for New Brit
aims share OF enlistments In the new
national army to be raised by the Sc
lectiVe draft is $40. Whoever deter
mined this states that 327 men have
already enlisted in the regular army
or the national guard from this city.
Therefore. the figures 513 must obtain
as the true allotment Of enlistm ent
under the draft law. Business men
here. however, feel that there is an
injustice being done the city; that
there have been more than 327 men
enlisted here since the recruiting cam
paigns have been waged. To this
end, it is pointed out that Sergeant
McCabe, the regular army man who
has been here for some few days, has
taken away more than fifty recruits
or at least has sen: their names to
recruiting headquarters at Hartford.

which has been under consideration
for some time, the abolishing of the
! former street railroad crossing, the
| board voted to recommend the plan
! of the city engineer. where Lake

Washington street, at cost of $4,000
for the purchase of the land. The
New Haven" road has agreed to pay
three-quarters Of the expense of the

AS the result of conditions found on
North street from Sexton to Beaver
street where sidewalks had been or
dered by the board some time ago. it
was found advisable to recommend
that the matter be referred to the
board. The particular layout of land
at this point is such, that retain
ing wall will be necessary II the
walks are laid. and the city has not
sufficient money for this use at the
present time.

ling of Highland street, between Girls

ceived by the board for the establish
ment of a storm water sewer on Bel
den street. from a point on the street
, half way between Chapman and East
