NO GERMAN PLOT.
 IN WARSHIP'S LOSS
Spy Theory Scofed at in Refer-
 enCe to TSukuba

Tokio, March 2-Naval officers ridi- cule reports that the explosion on the battleship cruiser Tsukuba on Janu- ary IA was the work of German spies. The Tsukuba sank soon after the ex- plosion, and the revised estimate shows that 157 seamen were killed and that at least 50 injured.
 The cause remains mystery but is explained to The Associated Press by a naval man as probably due to a spontaneous combustion in the powder magazine. That there was not a larger loss of life is due to the fact that about half of the crew were ashore at Yokosuka where the war ship was at anchor. D..
 Captain Arima had just arrived on board from shore when with a tre- mendous roar which was heard many miles away the ship was encased in a pillar aof smoke and flames. The concussion blew a hole in@t the hull through which the water rushed and

within few minutes the ship eeganj to sink. There were $40 @seamen and a few officers on board at. the tinae. Many were killed outright and otAerss were blow into the sea.
 Launches and cutters were. dispateh- ed to the rescue. Divers. who made an investigation found many. dead the1 seated about the table in the mes1L room. A number of sailors. wKp were on deck were blown into the air and were crushed to death when tf1Gf fell again to the deck. The: bodi6 of 62 sailors were recovered from IT sea and it is believed that the rel are lodged in the wreck of the .sl1i
 The Tsukuba was the first lar,! warship to be built in home yarels On several occasions she conveyed thd late Emperor and. Empress durtng| naval mahoeuvres. The warship[ visited America on the occasion o& the Jamestown exposition. ShaA wa3 regarded as rather superannuated and was lately used as a training saip of naval gunnery. Y &

HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.


 Whatever the cause, we want to sayS to every person who needs strength,s you need Vinol as it is the most e.1i-s cient strength creator we have. in ours store. Here is proof from Dorchester. Mass:- .g %a 1T don't know what we would dol without Vinol in our family. I was7 weak, nervous and run-down as t4i, result of an operation, and Vinol reAs3 stored my strength. Then Grandhuotl4- CT had 9 nervous breakdown. and Vim ol built her up and restored her health and strength after everything. else had failed. We have used Vinol for 13. years in our family. and would not be without it in the house" Myrtle l.. Healy, Dorchester, Mass.

NOTED SPEAKERS IN
 RELIGIOUS DRIVE
Leaders in Education Campaign
 Experts in Various Fields

| The religious education campaign which is to begin in the city Sunday by addresses and references to the significance of religious education. and which is to extend over the next two weeks promises to be one of the most valuable movements for re. ligjous education in the city, both for those who are doing the actual work and for the parents and public as
 we'll.
 A notable list of speakers has been 1 secured for the series. Miss Martha K. Lawson, who will have part in the church workers institute in the
 second week, is one of the outstand- ing leaders among teen age girls in the country and New Britain is very fortunate in securing her alone if there were no other leaders.
 pr. David G. Downey. who speaks at the Methodist church Sunday evening March II, was formerly the general secretary of Sunday schools for the Methodist denomination throughout the country. His position as one of the foremost leaders Of Sunday school circles in the Methodist church makes him a strong factor in the, campaign
 Professor Edward P. St. John is
 professor of pedagogy in the Hartford
 School of Religious Pedagogy, Hart ford Prof. St. John is no stranger to New Britain, having spoken here on other occasions. He has been one of the pioneers in the modern Sum- day school movement who has had a Thigh ideal of omplishment for church schools He has been largely responsible for the movement for graded lessons in the church schools. . Rev. W. J. Sly, Ph. D., is the di- irector of religious education of the Baptist churches of Connecticut and Rhode Island. He is a specialist in religious education, and a man who | ;s doing a great deal to raise the standard of religious education among
 the Baptist churches in the two states. :! Mrs. Sly. who is also one of the 1 leaders, is known as strong worker among girls.
 speakers there will be a number of local men taking part
 i The purpose of the campaign is an- nounced as follows:
 i ."The city board of religious educa- Ition and the cooperating churches are offering this series of lectures,
  with the belief that the concentra- tion vii, make a deeper impression on the consciousness of the> city and will also make it possible for a great
 numb Der to take advantage of the ] work who could not do so over an extended time. New Britain is com-
 ing to be center of religious educa ton and this experiment may well of- fer a suggestion for other places. l We are fortunate in having so many excellent leaders of note in the
 city during the period, and swe also believe that the work of the local
 men will be found valuable.
 We believe profoundly. that re- ligious education is coming into its day and we are glad that we can of fer to the teachers and the public or the city work of a caliber that will justify our claims for recognition.

SCOUTS NOW HAVE
 NUCLEUS FOR FUND.
Private Pledges for Executive
 Already Reach $500

At a meeting of the local council o1
 the Boy Scouts of the city last Tues. l day afternoon it was decided to raise two thousand dollars to employ a full time scout executive for the city. A committee consisting of Ernest w.
 Pelton. Walter P. Hart and Commis-
 sioner Elmer T. Thienes was appoint
 ed to make arrangements for the rais- ing of the money. The committee will hold a meeting this afternoon at which plans will be completed for the campaign. No difficulty is anticipat- ed in raising the required amount as almost $500 has been raised already. At the indoor meet held February 1 [
 the troops of the city began the cam
 paign by pledging $10O. Since that time pledges have been made as fol- lows:: A. F. Corbin, $1OO; Howard s. Hart. $1OO; E.. A. Moore, $1OO; Alik Stanley, $100; E. W. Wightman, $50: and C.. c. Rossberg, $20. With this amount raised there remains only $1,- 400 more to be secured. 2
 The Boy Scout movement has come to be community institution in New AUS,s pISSGuysg OTSdulZdtlOI
 has been in existence in New Britain for three years and has been growing in value to, the city. As a result of a recent campaign POP new scouts were added to the organization. so that there will be 450 scouts here when the proper registration is effected "
 One of the greatest features of scouting Is the, emphasis placed or service to community This has been strikingly demonstrated recently in New Britain, both at the big fires and in the work of the man power census that is now being taken. M
 The service that the scouts of the city have been able to render is but the beginning of a plan to be of great CT value to the city. 1t is the plan of
 the local council, when the executive 1 is secured, to work for 1000 scouts here, and have a signal arranged so that at the call of any emergency the signal could assemble all of the scouts at a central point within half an hour. Thus scouting is one of the real assets of the community, and 1 with the enlarged plans of the organ
 ization locally the movement will be increasingly a factor, in civic service
 of all kinds and great asset in time of emergency.

BOY SCOUT NEWS

There will be an unusually import ant meeting of all scoutmasters, as s1stant scoutmasters, and prospective Scoutmasters at the Y. M. C. A. Sun day afternoon at 3:30 to discuss mat ters or unusual importance. In the .hrst place the new recruits brought in during the recent campaign will be assigned to troops. Then the details of the campaign to raise s2.OOO for the engaging of a paid executive will be discussed. In this connection all scoutmasters are asked to bring them any snapshots of scouts, either on hikes or at characteristic scout activ- ities. Pictures of good turns are especially desirable.
 There were fifteen members of the local council present at the meeting of the council last Tuesday, when the question of raising funds for the em- ployment of the full time executive was discussed The meeting endorsed the project heartily and insured the success of the effort. .a.-s .,...
 The troops that are planning to go to Bristol tomorrow night will go on the train that leaves at 6:51 D. m. The meet is scheduled to begin at $ o'clock. but it will be necessary for the New Britain scouts to leave at the above indicated time.
 Encouraging word comes to the commissioner concerning the condi- tion of the troops of the city. New scouts are coming in all of the time. Along with that men are offering themselves for service as scoutmas- ters Troop is passing through pe-. riod of reorganization that promises to put it in a healthy condition. Troop 4 has a large waiting list. This troop is planning first aid corps. Troop l has installed an efficiency system. Troop 10 is crowded to the limit and a new troop will probably have to be organized in their part of the city to take care of the large number of boys who would like to become scouts. Troop 9 is working on new quarters.
 Some of the troops already an- nounce that they have earned part of their pledge toward the securing of the executive. That is fine work.

New Britain herald., 1917-03-02

The attention of the commissioner has been called to the fact that there are great many unregistered scouts in the city. 1t is of course known to all that no boy has 9 right to wear the scout uniform who is not a scout in full and regular standing. That means that he must have paid his fee to na- tional headquarters. All scoutmasters are urgently advised to review their lists to be sure that every boy is reg
 istered at once and that, word to that effect reach the commissioner. This is urgent business as national headquar- tors has intimated that some troops may be dropped unless registration is completed at once. :,
