GOVERNOR APPEALS
 TO MEN OF STATE
Asks Them to Enlist in Army
 Today

Hartford, June 30-aov. Marcus H. Holcomb last night, issued ! procla- mation urging the young men of the state to uphold the traditions of Con- necticut since the foundation of the colonies by presenting themselves at recruiting stations for enlistment in either the national guard or the reg ular army today. The proclamation:
 "on the 25th day of March. 1917, the 1st regiment of the Connecticut national guard was called into fed eral service. On the 9th day of April, 1917. a state of war wa4 de- clared to exist between the United States of America and Germany. On the 18th day of June. 1917, the president Of the United States. by proclamation appointed tho period of June 2Srd to June 30th as recruiting week, for the regular army, and called upon unmarried men, between the ages of IS and 10 years who have no dependents and who are not en- gagged in pursuits vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war to present themselves for enlistment during that week to the number of 7O,0O0. On June 18th the 1st and 2d regiments' of the Connecticut national guard were approximately 1,3O0 short of their required war strength and on that date 1t was still necessary for Connecticut to furnish 1,234 men. as volunteers for the regular army of the United States. June 30th is the last day on which enlistments in the national guard or regular army will count towards reducing the quota to be, assigned to Connecticut for the new seiective draft army. ,s.
 Although vigorous, efforts have been made in Connecticut to stimu- late recruiting the latest figures from the several counties of the state i'm dicate that to date the number of men recruited is many hundred short of those required. Connecticut with a wonderful record in tiHnes of war must not be found wanting at this critical juncture of the greatest of all wars. s
 'Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me. I call tho men of Connecticut who may be elig- ible to present themselves on tho 30th day of June. 1917, for the purpose of volunteering in either the national guard of Connecticut or the regular army, proving then that Connecticut may fulhll the obligations imposed upon her.

FISKE WOULD MOVE

Rear Admiral Beaieves Attack should Be Made On Base With
 Airc..st.

Aircraft. Now York. June so.-Rear Admiral Bradley A. Tiske in . formal lsttsr to Alan R. Hawley. president Of the Aero club of America, insists upon attacks upon the German neet and the submarine bases by aircraft within the next six months. Tho letter was made public by l[r. Hawley yesterday. "In my opinion" says Rear Admiral F1ske, "a grave mistake is being made in overlooking the importance of aerial operations against the German fleet and U-boat bases. My opinion is based upon the following consider ations:
 Il. The danger on the sea threat ems the Allies more immediately, vif tally and intimately than does tl danger on land. because 1t involvls the commerce of the entire world and threatens to stop their supply of ao- tual food and fuel.
 "2 Although major operations on both land and seq are now practicable with aircraft, no successes on land which can reasonably be expected within the next twelve months would weaken Germany much, whereas q successful attack on her heet would ruin her.

England, where many of the British soldiers arc taken for injuries and wounds sustained on the battlefields of France. The missive is dated May 22 and tells of . serious illness undergone
 by her. She ts at present recuperat- ing at one of England's noted health resorts. The writer attributes her illness to gas and too much cigarette smoke from the Tommies." The at mospheric conditions prevailing in England during the late winter and early spring were the worst in 10 years, and during April the rain fell almost necessarily. At times 1t was 90 cold, Miss Daugherty writes that she was forced to partake of her breakfast with wooden gloves on.
 Thoughts of her days in New Brit ain, force the writer at times to wish she was back again in the Hardware city, where she was treated 50 well both by the recipient of the letter, the hospital attendants and the public in general. As an example of the efh- ciency of the graduates of the local hospital. Miss Daugherty writes that many of the patients have requested those in charge, to have her assigned to their care. She also wishes Mrs. Bassett would go across the ocean and become 8 matron in the hospital. While the work in war hospitals is not as hard as that of a city hospital. the duties are made burdensome by the lack of proper conveniences. All manner of treatment is afforded in the No. ? General hospital but the most difficult to handle are those of gas gangrene, due to the effect 1t has on the patients vitality. In conclud- ing her letter Miss Daugherty hopes for a speedy ending of the war.
 Z Another graduate of the New Brit ain General hospital is soon to embark for hospital service in France. She is Miss Jane Gould of Bristol, grad uate of the 1917 cla14 who will sail August 16 with . Harvard unit.

UNDER RWRI7ERS SAY
 CONDITIONS ARE BAD
Ordinance ll Committee Cooperates
 for Fire Protection

Some radical and important changes in city ordinances were rec commended at the meeting of the ordinance committee and the chair man of the fire commissioners last night. One of the principle changes is in the ordinance relating to taking the, fire apparatus out of the city limits. In the past 1t has been im-. possible to take any apparatus out of the city. no matter how urgent tho call without the permission of either the mayor or the chairman of the safety board. The amended ordi- nance will give the chief of the Ire department the right to use his dis erection and the apparatus may be taken out of the city on his orders.
 Another important ordinance rec. commended Is one relative to the burning of waste papers, rubbish or leaves within the fire zone. It pro- hibits the burning of such refuse in any back yard or alley unless the material Is enclosed in some recep- tacle that is approved b the chief of the flre department. It was re- ported that the fire insurance under writers, who have been conducting a long series of investigations into local conditions, have compiled a report that is anything but complimentary to the city. This report is supported by . series of actual photographs showing the conditions of many back yards about the center of the city. Some of the pictures show waste papers being burned loosely in the yards, others show them burning without anyone watching for sparks. etc. In the opinion of the under writers conditions in this respect are "the very worst imaginable'' and 1t is predicted that if these pictures and the report is made public the prop erty owners win be amazed at con- ditions. The underwriters advocated an ordinance prohibiting the burning of any refuse out of doors. but the committee compromised on the ap- proved receptacle ordinance.
 Another ordinance has been recom- mended which makes 1t an offense. punishable by arrest and fine, for anyone to hinder or obstruct the chief or any members of the fire depart ment in their duty. This ordinance has been framed principally to pro- tect the ire department men in their investigations of private buildings. In the past they have been frequent- ly refused admittance to investigate conditions. but hereafter such re- fusal will constitute an offense.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Move at High School to Have
 W. c. Moorehead in sole Charge of
 Sports.
 It is reported at the High school that with the opening of that institu- tion next fall there will be g radical change in the method of handling the school athletics. It is reported that hereafter the school athletics will be solely in charge of W. G. Moorehead. physical director.
 In years past the school athletics were governed by a board of athletic directors. known as the High school athletic council. This council was composed of alumni members. the managers of the various teams and faculty members. Last year Princi- pal L. P. Slade, acting on orders from tho superintendent of schools, dis solved the old council and school ath- letics were placed solely in control of faculty advisors and the managers of tho various branches of sport.
 Tho latest change, if as reported. means that even the faculty members will have no say in the management of school sports but that the physical director will become the athletic dic- tator of the school, having absolute Jurisdiction as to the policies to be carried out as we'll as the picking of teams and managers. It is said that already the faculty members of the present administrative board have re- ceived notice of their dismissal as di- rectors of athletics
 The athletic board has not had meeting since last February. 1t is said.
