NuRSES INCLUDED
 IN WAR INVENTORY
2,OOO or More to Be Enrolled In Connecticut's Military Census. Not to Interfere With Red Cross.

i The enrolment of the 2,OOO or more l be included in the Connecticut mili- | tary census now in progress under the l direction of Governor Marcus H. Hol- | comb. Special blanks have been pre- 1 pared by the military census state head. ] quarters in Hartford for taking the en- | rollments of these nurses. The blanks are similar to those used for taking the census of men, but differ in some of 1 the questions.
 Among other things, the blanks ask
 What training school are you a gradu- l ate of?
 | "In what line of professional work are you at present employed? 1 "In what department of nursing are you | best qualified for service? ] Are you a registered nurse? In what l state? When?
 "Have you any one dependent on you 1 for support? 1 "Are you a citizen of the United States? "Have you done any army or navy nurs- 1 ing service in this or any other country? i Could you respond promptly to an l emergency call for nursing service in this | state?
 Would you volunteer fer an emergency l call for nursing service outside this l state?'
 1 The following statement concerning i the enrolment of nurses was given out l yesterday by the state headquarters of
 the Connecticut bureau of military cen- sus:- a....
 ''This census is designed in no way to 1 interfere with the work of the Red Cross. l The governor has the very highest appre- ] citation of the value of the work and use- 1 fitness of the Red Cross. He has been l instructed, however, to make a census of the resources of this state which might l be valuable in time of war One of the 1 most valuable of these resources is to 1 make available instantly for work in any 1 part of this state the services of the train l ed nurses of Connecticut

M ARCH 5th will record an ami ..lyl versary of peculiar interest to
 newspaper publishers of this country, for on this date fifty years ago, in 1867, the first ground wood pulp was made at a mill in what was then the village of Curtfsville, recently re- named Interlaken, in the State of Mas 'sachusetts. Up to that time pal1er was made exclusively of rags, naturally lim- Iiting the amount produced; but with the successful conversion Of wood into Ia fibre suitable for print paper the vast timber resources of this continent be- came the nmitless reservoir of raw ma- terial for any and all future demand. Solved Another Difficulty.
 But, the wood pulp fibre also solved another difficulty for the printer. for heretofore the speed of printing press es was limited, caused by the slow dry ing of the inks on paper made of rags, while the trade soon discovered that paper made of ground wood had excel lent absorbing and drying qualities, and soon thereafter the printing press man. fufacturers were putting their minds and energies to work to develop the high speed press, and now the modern double octuple press will print 72,O0O 16page papers per hour.
 Amsriea's First Mill.
 The idea of making paper from wood originated in Germany in the early fOrties with GOttfried Keller. tradition having 1t that he in turn received his

news print paper, then selling at four. teen cents pound was reduced to two cents. It Is furthermore remarkable that in the fifty intervening years no substantial change in the manufacture of ground wood pulp has been made although the improvement in details of the grinder has naturally increased its efficiency and production.
 Cradle of an Industry.
 Once the practicability of this new fibre had been demonstrated, the in- terest in it became general and the in- dustry developed by leaps and bounds The Pagenstechers, of whom Albrecht Pagenstecher is the sole surviving member and still largely interested in many ,paper-mill enterprises, immedi ately built second and somewhat larger mill at Luzerne, N r., and in 1869 acquired the water power at Palmer Falls, where they built what was to be for many years and Is to- day, with but one exception, the larg- est mill in this country.
 Little remains of the Curtisville plant. The power was soon found to be totally inadequate, and the mill was eventually dismantled. But mo- torists travelling from Stockbridge to Lenox can still see, when passing through Interlaken, square pile of stone on the right hand, all that re- mains of the cradle of an industry des- tined to become not only one of the largest but also one of the most im- portant in this country.

CONNECTICUT MILITARY
 CENSUS PARAGRAPHS

~ v
 By AUBREY L. MADDOCK, Director Publicity Service, Connecticut Bureau of Military Census.
 Preparedness parades were all right in their place, but the Connecticut military census, now in progress, is Have you done your part?
 Connecticut leads in the manufac- tdre of war munitions, insurance, the tobacco industry, metal products-and PRACTICAL PREPAREDNESS.
 America cannot be like the ostrich, burying her head in the sand and feel ing secure. She must be wide awake and prepare-just as Connecticut is preparing through her great military census-for any emergency that may come.
 No man with spark of patriotism in his soul would be so small as to refuse to answer the simple questions asked by the state of Connecticut in the military census now in progress.
 Governor. Marcus H. Holcomb said that the names of men who refuse to give information for the Connecticut military census ought to be put on yellow" cards. Is there any doubt what he meant?
 If war ever comes to America the value of Connecticut's military census will be fully realized. It's better to be prepared and not be called than to be called and not be prepared.
 Refusal to respond to the call for information asked in the Connecticut military census is miserable selfshness that automatically puts the person who refuses upon the Suspicious list.''
 Do yourself justice-co-operate fully in the Connecticut military census.

FOUR TONS OF PAPER USED FOR CENSUS
 PRINTED MATTER
Sheets Sent Out Represent Total Area
 of 8s8,000 Square Feet.


 Some idea of the great amount of headquarters in Hartford of the Con- necticut bureau of military census may be gained from the fact that the print ed matter already sent out by that bureau for the work in the state has already reached total weight of four tons. This includes census blanks, in- structions, commissions and similar printed forms. It is also estimated that the printed matter sent out from the state headquarters represents to- tai of SSS, ,OOO square feet of paper. In addition to this, close to 100000 per- manent filing cards will be used in re- cording and tabulating the census be- fore the work is completed.

How Fast an Object Must Iravel to
 Escape Into Space.
 The speed of no return is that speed which one would have to send 8 body, bullet, for instance, straight up in the air so that it would never come back. The rate of this speed has teen estimated to be about seven miles a second. If bullet could be given that velocity away from the earth it would never fall back to our planet but would travel on into space in an orbit of its own around the sun.
 As to the possibilities of anything ever attaining this speed. no one can say. Scientists say all they know is that the friction of the air would prob ably melt and then vaporize the body before it succeeded in getting through the earth's ocean of air. The speed of the modern army bullet is about one twelfth of the speed of no return, be- ing little over half mile a second.
 Instances of the speed of no return are seen when meteors fall into the at

Elackmore's Manners,

Blackmore is said to have resembled Horace Greeley. Several inches over six feet, with large, beautifully shap-l ed head, on which his hair tossed wayingly; he wore a beard shaved away from his upper lip and chin, so that it framed his face, which was as rosy as girls. His eyes were full of twinkling humor and kindliness, and there was always about him a sense of the outdoors-of great, calm spaces, winds and fragrances. He dressed carelessly in loose fitting clothes, talk ing no trouble to keep in the fashion. His voice was low and musical, and his manners had touch of old world courtesy and distinction. He was ut terly sincere and would never pretend to agree to anything because some one else advocated it. His opinions were

Rabbits and Squirrels as Swimmers.
 A funny though able swimmer is the rabbit. He submerges his body with the exception of head and tail. The latter sticks away up into the air, and his hind legs make ''soap suds' as he churns the water madly to get away, But with all his awkwardness he is swift swimmer and is only beaten by the squirrel among the land animals.
 The squirrel swims with his heavy tail sunk away down in the water and his head held high. He cleaves the waves like duck, and man in a rowboat has all he can do to keep abreast of the swimming squirrel.

inspiration from a wasps' nest. Keller collaborated with manufacturer of machinery, Heinrich Voelter,< in whose name the patents were executed. It was not until 1866 that the possibili- ties of this invention in this country were recognized, when Albrecht and Rudolf Pagenstecher induced their cousin Alberto Pagenstecher to build a mill in this country. and financed the purchase Of the necessary machinery and the building of mill. The choice of location fell to Curtisville. where the outlet of Stockbridge Bowl seemed to supply an adequate amount of pow CT. The mill was built and on March 9th. 1867, the first ground wood pulp was produced.

 Then another difficulty arose, namely the selling of the product. Paper man. ufacturers were either strongly op- posed to or extremely pessimistic of the papermaking qualities of wood fibre. When one very large manufac- turer was approached he curtly an- swered Sir. we don't use shoddy.." Finally. however. Wellington Smith. who owned q mill near Curtisville. at Lee, agreed to buy lot as an expert- ment. and to Wellington Smith is due the credit of having made the first pa per out of wood pulp.

Chinese Princes to
Be Educated For
Japanese "Samurai'

Toxic, March 14.-Great interest
has been caused by the announcement
that Princes Hsien-kuei Hsein-pang
and Hsein-yuan, three sons OF Prince
Hsiu of the former Manchu court in
China, Han Shao-yo and Han Shao-
hsin. two sons of General Buptchaff,
commander of an Independent troop
in Mongolia, and Han Ching-hung,
nephew of General Buptchaff have
arrived at Toxic to receive education
in Japan.
The visitors have been students at
the High school at Port Arthur and
speak Japanese fluently. Prince
Hsien-kuei, who is twenty-five years
old commanded a detachment under
General Buptchaff in Mongolia last
year. Relating his experience in Mon
golia, he said that konwing that his
father would not permit him to go to
Mongolia, he secretly escaped to join
the army of General Buptchaff who
welcomed him cordially and made
him a commander of six thousand
men. The Prince fought against the
Chinese army, but on account of the
inferior arms the Monaghan soldiers
did not succeed, although they fought
most valiantly. He stated that Gen
eral Buptchaff is still alive and plan
ming for another opportunity against
the Chinese.

his friends came to Japan to be edu-
