FAILS TO REPORT
Ellsworth Back Is Still at His Home
 at North Woodstock.

Ellsworth Back, who was certified for sefvice by the local exemption board and by the district beard at Hartford and who afterwards was or dered to report in Putnam October 4 and proceed to Camp Devens to en- gage in military service has not yet reported and is understood to be al his home in North Woodstock.
 Just prior to the time he was to have left for Camp Devens the local board received a letter, bearing the the board was informed that MT. Back go to camp.
 When Back did not report for ser vice on October 4, the local beard, in accordance with the provisions of the draft act, reported him to the district board as not reporting. Under the rules he is now rated as a deserter, but action has been taken by the federal authorities to bring into ser vice, a fact that is proving a basis for much speculation hereabouts although it is presumed that the federal author ities will act in due time.
 Back is single and has lived on a little farm place, where he has raised chickens in the town of Woodstock. lowing his having passed the physical examination and be accepted fer ser vice, but his claim, after being heard by the local board, was dened. and he was certified for service in the usual way.
 Tn the meantime another man of this district has been obliged to take Backs place in the ranks, as an all ternate, and is now at Camp Devens.

His bonds bound over to await trial at the next term Of the superior court. and in de- fault of this amount he was taken to the county jail at Brooklyn to await trial. Wells was arrested Monday evening in Willimantic by Deputy Sheriff William N. Bates of Thomp- son.
 Wells offered as a reason for forg- ing his employers name that by so doing he would get money with which to aid his brother. who has a broken of a gun and suit case would, in his opinion. help his brothers injured leg. Wells just smiled and admitted that he had placed himself in an unenviable position.
 Wells. who is but 19. did not show any particular expertness in his role as a forger. After getting goods and money in change from the forged checks, this at the stores of Charles went to his home town of Ashford, 1t has been learned, and made known what he had done. He was told that he surely would be caught and is said to have replied: "I suppose so."
 The goods that Wells received here and raid for with bad checks have been recovered.

at the most are actually engaged in
fighting or in Immediate reserve. She
has 100000 men, mostly Of the class
of 1920-that Is, Of boys who are now
only seventeen years old-and 900, 900
more men now in the hospital who
some time in the next six months will
be returned to duty. This total will
be, reduced before the beginning of
the campaign of 1918 by the perman-
ent losses incurred between now and
the first Of Arpil. These losses will
not be less than $4,000 month, and
we may safely figure that 500, 900 men
