STORY OF GERMAN ATTACK
 ALONG BELGIAN COAST
British Troops That Escaped Had to
 Swim the Yser.

British Headquarters in France, July 13.-CBy The Associated Pressl- The German attack along the sand dunes of the Belgian coast on Tues day evening was in nearly all respects a miniature of the British attack on the Messines Ridge on June :.
 Ii seemed as if the Germans had studied that battle in detail and plan ned their thrust wholly upon the les sons learned. There was vast dif- tions. however for while the German attack of Tuesday was limited to L. 400 yards the British charge at Mes- sines was along a ten mile front.
 The depth of the two attacks was also in the ration of 10 to 1, the Ger mans having advanced only about 500 yards, to the British support line, where they are now endeavoring to en- trench themselves, while the British have fallen back to the west bank of the Yser
 This little battle on the sands of Flanders will live largely through the valorous defense of the English troops, who met the shock of the German massed formations after having their protecting defenses blown to pieces tion of German shell fire seen on this front in more than a year. The trenches dug among the blowing and shifting sand dunes were speedily ob- liberated by the storm or hish eXpio- sive shells the Germans were able to pour upon them.
 Most of the shells were the famous 5.9 centimetre projectiles and up- wards. few field guns having come in to play During the terrific lombard ment which lasted all through Tues day, the fortif1cations recently taken over. by the British could fairly be seen to dissolve.
 The German lines to the River Yser and the sea formed a triangle, the base of which was the coast line. In this angle the sands of which are now dyed red with English blood. were troops and Kings Royal Rifles. The garrison fought to the, death and the German report of 1,250 prisoners taken cannot be correct.
 The temporary bridges across the Yser had been blown to bits during the barraGe fire and the British troops which eventually escaped across the river had to swim the stream.

JiTEEY OR NONE
 IS THE QUESTION Motor Vehicles Commissioner At tempting to Define tSatus.

Robbins E. Stoeckel. the commis- slcner of motor vehicles. has made an effort to define the status of jitney service as it differentiates from livery cars and taxicabs He has submitted statement to the attorney general TOT his opinion. It seems that after all the trouble that was taken to make the language of the law clear there Is considerable doubt as to what con stitutes iitneE service. The difficulty Of defining just what was d jitney was illustrated Thursday afternoon when the commissioner was asked by a man in the country who keeps a dairy farm and who starts to the neishboring, market town. a distance of five miles. early in the morning with his milk. He uses motor Vehi- Gle, and to accommodate five or six men who live near him. and the work in the town which is the destination. ne has rigsed up his wagon with seats. He charges each 25 cents for :he ride. It has been suggested to the man that he should take out a jitney license He asked the commissioner if the conditions under which he accommo- dated his neighbors at the rate of 25 cents each obliged him to take out a jitney license.

FIRST REGIMENT WILL
 CAMP ON YALE FIELD
Several Officers Favor Mobilization at
 Mantle.

Definite announcement was made Friday morning that the First regi- ment would leave for New Haven as soon as the camp at the old Yale foot ball field could be gotten into shape which Lieutenant Colonel Edward A. Shuttleworth, L. $. A., said would be within three or four days. He thought the regiment would make it's trip by the beginning of next week. All com panies will go by train except the Supply company, the equipment need ed immediately going in ,a8gage cars and the Supply company carrying the remainder. It is also possible that a detachment from the Machine Gun company may make the march over land in order to care for it's animals. Those who march will go by way of Middletown and Durhou, which is considered a better road. although somewhat longer than the more trav- eled route.
 Considerable work must be done on the grounds before they are in con dition for a camping site, and for this reason many of the officers had be- Heved that Niantic would be chosen in preference to New Haven.
 Water pipes must be laid, this work alone costing close to $500, and bath houses and several other structures must be erected. Mantle, on the oth- CT hand is practically ready for oc- cupancy at any time. One point made by the officers who favored Mantle was that the regiment would probably not stay in Connecticut for any great length of time, and that it was use less to 20 to any greot expense when orders might come to move almost any day. They are free in making predictions that the New England troops will be sent south to concen- tration camps by the middle of next month as it is known that the fed eral militia bureau is already arrang- ing for transportation for the move ment Of National Guard contingents from the different sections of the country
