Large Damage Claims
By Property Owners
In John st. Vicinity

Without q single admission Of ben
ef7ts by Interested property owners,
large claims for damages were made
last night before the board of ap-
praisal of benefits and damages
when consideration was given to the
extension of John street from West
to Park avenues. Not all of the
property owners were prepared last
night to submit the actual figures on
which they will make claims but they
notified the board that the figures
would be forthcoming. Four who
did not make definite statements as
to their damages told the board that
they would be injured in property ia
the amount OF $61,750. These claims
were as follows: Dacey estate, $11,-
GEO; WILDER A Smith, $15,75o; Sarah
A Lupton. $4,000; P. W. Wren,
$4,000, and DR.. J. E. Beardsley,
81 1000. 4 Others whose property will
be affected are Mary A. Hawley,
Thomas and Henry Morrissey and
Mary Jones, Miss Sarah A. Boudren,
J. A. Halsey. Evelyn Foster and Mr..
and Mrs. Charles p. Huth. The
board La expected to examine the
property and report to the council
melting on July 20.
The board Also held a. hearing last
night ON building lines and grades
for Bancroft and Chalmers avenues;
Lyon terrace, East Cation and West
Morgan street and Taft avenue and
sewer through Ash street. A few
claims for damages resulting from
the changes Of grades and establish
, ment OF lines, were made. but they
were not large in any case and will
probably be adjusted.

ARMY RECRUITS
"Enlist at Once" Is Message
From Main Recruiting
Office Of State

Despite the big increase in enlist
ments into the regular army within
the last two weeks Connecticuts quota
of 2,228 men is still shy TOO recruits.
unless there Is a so per cent. increase
in recruiting 1t will take about three
weeks more before the 700 can be OBJ
tanned. And by that time the draft
will he in full wording order and
probably before that period, thereby
making it. impossible for men, between
tire ages OF q and 81, who are drafted.
to enlist. Aside from the chances OF
big pay and promotion in the reg
uiar army IL is the duty of men, be-
tween the ages of lS and 20 years. who
have no one depending upon them for
their sole support, to enlist at once.
The latest report received from the
main army recruiting station at New
Haven today emphasizes the fact that
men, who have no dependents, should
enlist; that they should not wait for
the draft but should step to the front
and choose their branch of service
The statement says; Men, who are
eligible for the army, 1t is your duty
to enlist at once. 1t Is your duty to
decide today what to do. You know
that you are going. You know that
you are Mt. You know that you want
them, why not now? Duty COM

would not go, you would not care. But
there Is a duty to perform and you
must perform 1t. No matter what
John Doe says or does your place is
where duty calls. Duty is what has
brought the millions Of men to the
front Duty Is pointing at you day
and night. What's your answer
The medical department, the infan-
try and the signal corps want men.
Volunteers can pick the medical de-
Eartnent or the infantry but a man
must be an ienDerienced mechanic OF
electrician or photographer, etc, to
get into the signal corps.
