CALL 50 MAJORS AND CAPTAINS TO
 GENERAL STAFF
Will Send Many to France For Education in Modern
 Warfare.

Washington, May 21.-A board of general officers of the army headed by Brig. Gen. Herman, acting assist ant chief of staff, was in session today selecting 50 majors and captains of the line to be designated for duty on the general staff. The army bill signed by the president last week removes restriction on the number of staff off, cers who may be kept in Washington and the full strength of three general officers and 88 others will be main tained hereafter.
 Additional staff officers are neces- sary in connection with the organiza- ton of the contonment camps to be- gin in July when the national guard is assembled in divisional units. There will be 32 camps altogether and an officer of the general staff will be as- signed to each. It is regarded as probable also that a number of stam officers will be sent to the front in France, possibly with Gen. Pershing' s forces, to return after a few weeks and aid in the compilation of instruc' tion manuals for troops whicsh will incorporate modern developments of warfare. i
 Later as the forces in Europe are increased, a general headquarters will be necessary there with staff officers attached

EXCLUSIVE" ROLL OF WASHINGTON
 CLUB IS SEIZED
"'Most Respected" Citizens Are In Alarm Over Pos
 sible Revelations.

Tango loving Bridgeport business men, who have been wont to gather with their stenographers or young lady friends at the Washington Club, an exclusive private organization, con ducted by w. S. Brandegee, in Sea- bright avenue. Black Rock. are today shaking in their shoes. The police includes the names of some of the citizens and great fear is felt that the list will become public.
 Brandegee, who obtained promi- hence some few years ago, by appear ing at a hotel conducted by James At las, with A calibre gun, with which he shot up the place, since the closing of the cabarets in this city is alleged to have turned his home into an exclusive meeting and drinking place for Bridgeport men-about-town.
 Saturday night Liquor Agent Cough lin, accompanied by Policemen Daniel F1tzroy and Edward Wakeman, all at tired in citizens clothes, paid a visit to the establishment. Automobiles packed the grounds about the place and when they entered wine was flow ing like water. Bottles of brandies fancy drinks, champagne and beer filled tables and handsomely gowned women and girls sat drinking with their escorts.
 Several of the business men recog- nized the policemen but were sill enced when the officer remarked Cant a fellow steal off once in 8 while and have a little fun without you telling the world"
 According to Officer Coughlin, the food and drinks were being served un' der the direction of Brandegee's housekeeper, Katherine Labahart. Int police officers not desiring to interrup the festivities, waited until about

GOV. HOLCOMB IS NOW PREPARING FOR REGISTRATION Over 400 Telegrams Sent
 To Town Officials In State. REGISTRATION. DAY NOT TO BE HOLIDAY Easy to Tell In Connecticut Those Who Should Be Registered.

Hartford, May 21-More than 40o telegrams have been sent to town of ficials in the state by Gov. Holcomb appointing registration boards to reg ister the names of males between 2l and 30 years, inclusive. on June 5, for the purpose of conscription to the army. Most of these telegrams were filed Saturday night with the Western Union Telegraph Co.,, the local office of which was kept busy that night and Sunday sending them out. Only a very few were returned. where the ad- dress was not correct, or some suc- cessor to the man addressed had taken office. The telegran1s were sent to the first se1ectmen, town clerks, and reg istrars of voters, whom Gov. Holcomb has constituted his registration boards in the towns of less than 3O,000 in- habitants. The notification by tele- graph Is in compliance with a federal requirement.
 The governor and his executive sec retary, w. M. Maltbie, were busy to- day with preparations for registration. There was a meeting of the governor s county advisers this afternoon to ar range details and these 10 men will us parts of the state on Wednesday to
 pass on to the selectmen and town clerks the details as worked out from
 the federal regulations which are of S2 printed pages and considerably confusing.
 President Wilson's proclamation di-
 rected that work in shops and stores be suspended as little as possible in getting the registration, consequently Gov. Holcomb will not proclaim June 5 holiday or half holiday, but through the advisory committee will endeavor to impress upon the board to let it be known that the registra- ton will be observed as far as possi- b1e without interference with busi-
 ness. It will be left to the manufac- turers to make their own arrange ments so that their employees may register.
 At the governors office it is be | lieved that in Connecticut it will bs possible to tell within, a small per
 centage who should be registered
 This is possible because of the record.
 of the state military census. State Ii
 brarian Goddard is sending out to tn, registration boards list of men il
 those towns to be used merely as z
 check as to names and ages but thes' l will give a fairly close idea or wnt ought to be registered.
 How conscription IS to be carried out after registration, the governo
 and his advisers have not been in
 formed, no instructions on this lin,
 having come from Washington. I
 is believed that after the registration
 cards are filled out duplicate vii
 be made and sent to the office of tn
 adjutant general for use; but for wha
 use and affected by what exemption from service the governor does no know.

 Inasmuch as it was. the plan of the State Council to appoint an operating committee to represent it in each of the eight counties of Connecticut it was then suggested that so far as Fairfield county is concerned, such a committee should be made up of the president of the county association, and the heads of the six departments, and the members of the State Council will report back that suggestion to their own body tomorrow. /& If this plan goes through, the Fair field County committee will be made up from the association as follows: President B.
