 \ crowd of several hundred per- sons. some Of them earring tiny American flags, lined the water front and cheered the destroyers from the moment they first sighted the hotfila until 1t reached the dock.

There was m entire absence of formality.

A JUST CLAIM VERIFIED

That Idahos claims for the mining
experiment station recently located at
Seattle We're we'll founded is shown
by the fact that the bureau of mines
coDtemplates making Moscow head
quarters for most of the work on
metaliferous ores in the Northwest,
while the Seattle plant will be de-
voted chiefly to studies of coal mi
ning and electro-metallurg
, it is hoped that the large volume of
work which promises to flood the new
federal sub-station at the university
will further substantiate Idaho's claim
to station, and that the university
will be chosen as one of the places
for the location of one of the three
main stations authorized for establish
lnent in the Northwest next pear.

The district attorney calls the, governors attention to the fact that government agents have been. at work in the state for some time and have had the assistance of the state police. These agents know nothing of any such hos tile drilling, nor do the state police, says the district attorney.
 The governor referred to Hartford, as place in which such drilling was being done. The local police said they know nothing of it nor had the department been asked to investigate.

CAVALRY IN ACTION


 British and French Mounted Troops and End of Trench Warfare Is Seen. Berlin, Tuesday, March 20.. by Wireless to the Associated Press Via Sayville, March 22.-German cavalry is now in touch with the French and British mounted troops. which have been in action for several days in the territory evacuuated by the Germans, so that for the first time since the autumn of 1914 cavalry on both sides is being employed on the western front. This is regarded here as an in- dication that great events are taking place and that a real battle is in pros- pect. trench warfare being over for the time being on this part of the front.
 The French and British attempted to use cavalry on the Somme last year, as well as the time of the Champagne offensive. but the employ ment of these forces in the face of en- trenched troops with machine guns resulted in heavy losses. The present situation is different one because neither side is now protected by trenches.

 The makers suggested that two kinds of light. speedy planes for army and navy reconnaissance work, heavy armored battle flyer, cargo carrying machine for mail transportation and a lighter machine for commercial pur- poses should be sufficient types for all present needs.
 Assurance was given the govern ment representatives that the entire output of twelve American plants making airplanes is already guaran- teed to fill war and navy department orders and that no machines are be- ing exported.

GUNS AND UNIFORMS
 FOR THE RIFLE CLUB
Patriotic Citizens Raise the NJ ss Funds to Equip Company
 Immediately.

Within few days the New Britain Rifle club. recruited to 150 men, will be ready to engage in active work in defense of the city should the emer- gency arrive. This has been made possible through Mayor George A. Quigley who, today, announced that patriotic citizens had contributed suf- hctent funds to furnish uniforms for the Rifle club members, to provide Krag rifles for each man and also to provide for 10000 rounds of ball cartridges.
 The Rifle club now has a hundred, or more members and within the next few days it will be recruited to such an extent that a. military company of 15O men can easily be organized, leaders state. The Rifle club will be similar to the City Guard of Water bury. While it will have many things in common with the Home Guard, it's range of activities will be restricted to strictly local territory, while the Home Guard is being recruited for service anywhere in the state. In case any unforeseen emergency occurs, in which the police force is unable to cope with the situation, or the Ma tiona1 Guard is away, these Rifle club members will be sworn in as special deputies to protect life and property in New Britain. While some of the members of the club have already purchased their Krag rifles under a government provision, in order to hasten the organization, the others will be supplied with guns at once. Uniforms will also be supplied to the members through the generosity of patriotic subscribers. It is estimated that to fit out the Rifle club for mili- tary purposes will cost about $2,0O0, vet the money has been cheerfully pledged.
 Tonight the Rifle club will meet at the State Armory on Arch street at o'clock to complete it's organization. W. W. Bullen is major of the club, and the drill sergeant is Ashley J. Griffin, formerly of the United States army, who joined the National Guard at NoEales last summer. Tonight a captain, lieutenants and other officers will be elected. Further plans for the organization of a machine gun company will also be considered. It is also understood that an engineers corps. under the direction of City Engineer William H. Hall, may be or ganized. There is also some talk in certain quarters relative to asking Dr. T. Eben Reeks to organize a san- itary corps as a part of the Rifle club contingent. It is thought that Dr. Reeks would accept such position and it is believed that in case of any emergency there would be need for sanitary corps with full military or police powers, such as would be given the Rifle club.

Two ten hour shifts will be employed as soon as possible and this, with plans announced to greatly increase the number of em- ployes, is expected to more than double the present output.
 This will make possible an output of more than 1000 rifles daily. A large number of men sought employ ment today as a result of the call is- sued yesterday.
