CONN. COMPANY NOT
HARD HIT BY WAR
Eighteen Men Passed Physical Exam
nations But Number Claim
Exemption.

In spite of the fact that about
eighteen motormen and conductors
employed on the local Connecticut
company lines have been examined by
the exemption board and have passed
all physical qualifications for the Ma
tional Army, Superintendent Frank L.
Beardsley stated this afternoon that
the running of cars would not be
impaired as he was fully prepared to
meet the emergency should any of
these men leave for Camp Devens,
Aver, Mass, on September 5.
Superintendent Beardsley said that
most of the men employed on the
lines in this city are married and
have filed claims for exemption on
the grounds of dependency. AS yet
few have been notified as to whether
their petitions have been granted.
None of the eighteen men, he said,
claimed exemption on the grounds Of
physical stability.

TWO STEAMERS ARRIVE
QUICK COALING RECORD

Two steamships arrived yesterday,
both coming for bunker coal, and a
third was expected throughout the
afternoon but had not been reported
off the bar up to shutdown.
The Booth liner Boniface, with
cargo in transit, reached here from
Galveston, and is scheduled to load
about 600 tons of coal, to go to sea
probably this afternoon.
The American steamship William
P. Palmer reached here from Free
port, Texas, with a cargo of sulphur
in transit for Baltimore. This is a
steamer of the company which "tried
out" local coaling facilities a month
ago, and the steamer which was here
yesterday was the first vessel of the
company to make the test. The coal
was promptly furnished and the Pal
mer went to sea in the early after
noon, bound for Baltimore.
The American steamship Atlantic
City, which left Galveston Friday aft
ernoon at late hour, was the third
vessel looked for yesterday, and
which did not show up.

If you will be satisfied with an
entirely adequate onion, estab-
lish title to being the ugliest.
These are the awards that are
announced for Veteran Fireman's
Picnic contests, to be held May 1.
There are lots of popular men
in Pensacola, and the contest in
class 1 will therefore be bitter.
There is not such a dearth of
male pulchritude, however, as to
suggest much excitement in the
second contest, but the value of
the prize is thought to be suffi-
cient to cause some of the Adonis-
.es to disguise themselves for the
occasion.
Votes are selling for Is cents
each, and the entrants are urged
to have their friends to rally to
their assistance Immediately, if
they have any hopes of winning;
otherwise they will have to be
content with their Adams apples.

London, March 11.-Bagdad. the
chief Turkish city in Mesopotamia,
and formerly capital of the empire of
the Caliphs, was captured by the
British Sunday. Official announce
ment of the capture was made to-
night.
On Saturday the British advanced
in the face of a binding dust storm
and violent gale to within three miles
of Bagdad. Bagdad's capture marks
a climax to one of the most dramatic
and picturesque phases of the world
war. The city which has fallen to
the British arms links the present to
a past so distant that it is semi
fabulous known history, Bagdad
reaches back more than four thou
sand years to the days of King Neb-
uchandezzar of Babylon.
The British, under General Town
send, tried to capture Bagdad early
in 1915, primarily to get valuable oil
wells at the mouth of the Tigris, but
the ultimate aim was to break the
German dream of dominion of the
near east. General Townsend finally
surrendered at Kut-El- Amaria in De-
cember, 1915, with 10000 men. Last
year General Maude began the cam
paign which succeeded.
