seIectnen Surprised by Patriotic Pref fers of Census Takers-No License for Eli Dapenias-Funerals Sunday K. H. s. Wins from Woodstoek--4o Men Selected for Census Taking.

KflIingly is to be congratulated this morning. The-fires of patriotism are burning here as brilliantly as in the days of the founders of the republic. The grand old town has responded with amazing unanimity to the select men's call for citizens to make the military census as ordered by Governor Marcus H. Ho1comb. Soliciting wasn't necessary; men came forward from every nook and corner of the town and offered their services in the work of inventorying the towns military strength against the day when that strength may be needed for the de- fense of the union or American rights.
 And back of this early outburst of patriotic readiness to answer the state and the nations call there is absolute iy no doubt that there awaits the wor9 that may send men to war the full strength and power of Killingly's man hood, to be dedicated to the principles of liberty and justice. An inspiring lesson of latent strength and loyalty was taught by the selectmen's experi- ences Saturday. Those who have thought that patriotism was dead or dying, here learn, with happiness, that they were profoundly mistaken.
 SeIeetmen Gratified.
 First SeIectman John A. Gilbert was delighted Saturday afternoon when he talked of the way men had come to him and offered their services as enu- merators or other duty to which he might assign them All walks of life were represented among the volunteers but significant Is the fact that the heads of big manufacturing concerns came. forward as one man to volunteer their services. C. H. Truesdell, agent of the Attawaugan company, asked for appointment. Howard S. Wood of the Whitestone Worsted was another; Hector Mcconnell. superintendent of the mill at BaIlouville, another. Off, cials at the plants of the Assawaga Woolen company at Dayville and the big Goodyear cotton plant at Williams vile offered to do everything possible to help in the work. The story was the same wherever the selectmen went. Not one man approached declined; many asked for appointment of their own accord. Business men, working men. men of a score of occupations are ready and anxious to do the work re- quired.
 Forty Men Selected.
 Selectman Gilbert said that 40 men had been selected. A hundred more could have been obtained The list of the enumerators is published elsewhere and they will proceed forthwith to secure the information that is desired in the interest of state and nation, a work in which Connecticut leads the United States

MORE MEN NEEDED.
FIRST INCREMENT OF NATIONAL
ARMY SHOWS DEFICIENCY.
Large Number of Men Must be Called
to Fill National Guard and Or
ganize Sixteen National Army Di-
visions.

Washington, Sept. 26.-There is lit
tie doubt now that large deficiency
OF men will be shown when reports
on the first increments of the Nation
al army's $4,000 men have been
made. Seventeen National Guard di-
visions must be brought up to war
strength and several special service
forces organized out of this reser-
voir, so the number of drafted men
remaining at the cantonments hard
ly will be sufficient to organize the
16 National Army divisions on a full
strength basis. Whether incomplete
divisions will be formed or a call for
men issued has not been indicated.
Secretary Baker said today that
definite figures as to the number Of
National Army men it would be nee
essary to transfer to the National
Guard were not available.
The fighting strength Of the new
division is now fixed at 27,500 men.
The II guard divisions on that basis
will have total strength Of 437,50O
men.
The guard probably brought into
the federal service total Of not
more than 100000 men. 1t will take
therefore at least $4,000 National
Army men 20 fill up the guard divis-
ions. Another 100000 Of the Nat
| ional Army will go to the air service
and certainly as many more to other
special services. That would leave
not more than 100000 men to form
the 16 National Army divisions. which
would have an aggregate war
strength Of $4,000. With the
adoption of the European regilnental
and company standard, every guard
regiment which was to be included in
division had to be expanded. Regi-
ments and parts of regiments are be-
ing consolidated to furnish the g.
600-man regimental unit now de-
sired.
The guard consolidation has
brought upon the department a new
source of trouble. Numerous colon
els and regimental staffs of the guard
are certain to be left without COM
mands since the number of regi-
ments has been reduced. This has
already proved a fruitful source of
protest from State officials. The
policy Of the department, it is said,
will be to find places for such guard
officers in other forces as far as pos
sible and desirable.
