 For Troops

The Right Reverend John Milan, D. D.. Bishop of the Diocese of Hart fs7d of the Roman Catholic Churca. states that ''All authority is from God. submission to lawful superiors is obedience to His will" and that "the fate of the country rests upon the loy- atty of it's citizens, the Command Chief summons the nation to war" This Is one of the series of "Made-in- Connecticut War Interviews" secur- ed by the Connecticut State Council of Defense. Bishop Nilan's call to man. hood, morality, country and faith at this hour is thus expressed.
 'The call of the hour to the young men of America comes from the high est authority. As all authority is from God, submission to lawful super iors is obedience to His will. The chief magistrate of the republic is such by the choice of the people but so marked is the distinction between the man and the office, 1t would seem that in times of great crises his party aff1liation, ,his. personality, his very name should be forgotten; he is The President The hour is fraught with grave possibilities, the die is cast, the fate of the country rests upon. the loyalty of it's citizens, the Commander in-Chief summons the nation to war.
 :'sThe young and the vigorous natur- ally should be the first to hearken to the summons and bravely, eagerly and with determination hasten to present a sturdy front to the foe. We may put the words of his illustrious pre- decessor of twenty years ago in the mouth of the President: We love peace but when we go to war we send to the field the best and bravest of the country The best are those whom the love of God compels to keep His law Edmund Burke has said, I never knew a man that was bad who was fit for service that was good

Hookworn Makes
 Militia Recruits
 of South Feel Lazy

Washington, Aug. 1.-Discovery of hookworm infection in AT out of 75 militia recruits recently mobilized for war service has caused public health service authorities to recommend prompt examination of all units of the national guard and national army at present organized, especially those from the warmer portions of the coun- try.
 Prevalence of hool1worm was found by Or. c. H. WardeH Stiles of the public health service, at a government reservation where he was making ex- periments. Complaint by a recruit of not feeling well after officers sus- pected him of trying to shirk his duty resulted in medical examination, Hookworn infection was found. Other examinations showed a. high percent age of hookworm.
 Dr. Stiles has reported to the public health service that failure to treat hoolrworm cases undoubtedly will re- suit in unjust and, preventable pun ishment of soldiers for oNenses due to remedial conditions.

GOVERNOR HITS I. W. W.
 AND THEIR DEPORTERs

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 21-Both sides of the controversy between the I. w.. W. and the Citizens Loyalty League of Bisbee, which on July 12 deported 1,200 strikers and sympathizers, were taken to task yesterday. by Gov. Campbell, who has made an investi- gation of the Warren district troubles.
 'Deporting men without due process of law was declared by the governor to be without Jurisdiction, while the tactics alleged to have been adopted by the I. w. w. were characterized as stench in the nostrils of decent Americans
 The governors statement was in a letter to Sheriff Wheeler and County Attorney Ross of Cochise county, and Mayor Ericson of Bisbee. He wrote:
 Henceforth I shall look to the Of ficiais of Cochise and all Arizona counties for cooperation in enforce me6t of the laws. It would be dis graceful blot on the history of this state if we, the responsible officials, are obliged to admit that our proper functions for the administration of law and order have broken down and that martial law must be invoked"

 MT. Arvine since leaving Bridgeport has been connected with the Poli cir cult in various capacities 1auteriy as chief stage director of several of the stock companies and more recently in a managerial capacity. It was due to his rare business acumen, his knowl- edge of the game from both the front of the house and the back and his charm of manner that his selection to the managerial post of the Lyric was made by. MT. Poli.
 Incidentally, MT. Arvine has had an extensive experience as manager of theatres in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. In speak ing of his new berth today MT. Arvine said:
 1T am certainly glad to be back in Bridgeport again and hope that ths wonderful plans MT. Poli has under way for new regime in the matter of giving artistic stock productions here will prove the success that 1t merits to be- Certainly the PoIi re- sources are unlimited in the matter of providing the best there is in the way of plays and players and it has never been said that the Poli policy was to spare. money to the end that real Broadway productions be given. MT, Thatcher who is in general charge of the stock plays and players on the Pon circuit, is giving his personal at tention to the opening here and the coming season and MT. Sagal and MT.

clothing. hospital, and medical units respectively. The cot unit consists of completely equipped service cots, which can be used to form the nu- cleus of temporary hospital in suit able local buildings, selected in ad- vance for this purpose. The hospi- tai and medical units contain all the necessaries their names indicate. The clothing unit is for use of men suf- fering from immersion and lack of clothing.
 In addition to preparedness for The Day. the Medical Transport De- partment takes care of the ordinary sick from the fleet at the various ports. Ambulance trains take the sick and wounded each to his home port, and in close touch with friends and relatives. No stops are made ex- cept for gas and water, or railway re- quirements as they arise. Each pe,- tient's dietary is carried out sen route. A full size naval ambulance train carries 136 cots, and a smaller sized train 40 cots and 36 sitting cases. All the trains are self-con- tained. and when in motion, self-sup- porting. carrying everything in the way of provisions, stores, sc.
 The staff consists of two medical
 officers and s6 men, including cooks,
 clerks, and others, who live in the
 train continuously. The trains are
 commissioned like ships, sea watches being kept day and night. For or.
 dinary routine journeys nursing sis
 ters are not carrded, but a cabin is
 set apart for two in each train for use when required. as after naval
 engagement, or when any cases call
 ing for their presence are being trans
 ported. The nursing itself is done.
 as in the navy af1oat, by trained male
 sick berth ratings.
 Porter and Elder tell of one of the
 interesting features known as the
 Day Coach These coaches are fit
 ted with flap tables and the non-cot
 cases can sit at them. Under these tables is row of wash basins con nected with water supply. At one
 end of each of these coaches are two padded rooms fitted up for the more violent mental cases. A small dress- ing station supplied with instruments and drugs is also aboard. Very little
 is done in the way of dressings except while the train is at rest. For the
 same reason no operating theatre has been arranged, on the assumption that a case in need of an operation
 would not be travelling. If such a case were encountered operative meas 1 ures would be carried out at the cot side, or the patient would be landed 1 at the first opportunity.
 "A portable electric signaling device l is fitted at each end of the train and coupled up with the engine, so that speed, heating, and other matters can | be controlled. The trains are lighted by lectricity-dynamo while running and accumulator when at rest. Elec- lstric fans are fitted where requisite, and portable lights are arranged for l in all the ward coaches. Gas Is used | for cooking only, and is carried under | the kitchen cars and one car adjoin- I ing, the cylinders being coupled to- l gether, thus the danger of fire is re- | duced to a minimum. Heating of
 the coaches is by steam from the en- zine, carried in overhead pipes sus- l pended from the roof"

l. W. W. WILL NOT STRIKE
 WHILE THE IRON IS HOT
Boasted TieUp of Labor In Four Northwestern States Does Not Appear Tn Time and May Be Lost Some
 where-Rowan Still Held

San Francisco, Aug. 21-No evil dence of a general strike of construc- ton workers and harvest hands was visible In the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana last night and so far as could be learned no attempt was made by any I. w. w. leader to carry out the strike order issued recently by James Rowan, dis trict secretary, at Spokane.
 The unexpected action of the rsiii- tary authorities in Spokane in arrest ing Rowan and 26 other I. W w. is believed to have had a powerful in- fluence in deterring the radical mem- bers of the organization from pre- cipitating strike which, it is ad- nitted, might have had serious re- suits. s
 The 27. men who were arrested by Major Clement Wilkins, in charge of the National Guardsmen at Spokane, on Instructions from state officials and Col Clarence w. Dentler, com snander of the United States army in the Northwest, are held as military prisoners and will be examined in a few days. Some of them, it is said, will be released. Their arrest came on the eve of their proposed general strike because state and army officials considered their proposed action would interfere with the prosecution of the war.
 It was announced yesterday at the Headquarters of Col. Dentler at Port land that It, 900 troops were availa- ble in the four Northwest states. Inn addition, the farmers and other agri- cultural and horticultural interests have perfected organizations for their mutual protection, and are prepared to meet any situation that may threaten their property or interfere with harvesting operations
 Advices yesterday from Wallace Idaho, stated that troops had been placed in the Couer d'Alene mining district to preserve order. At Lewis ton, Idaho, troops also have arrived to take care of the situation.
 From Seattle reports were received that the I. w. w. construction work. CTS in that district would take a. strike referendum vote Sept. 10.
 At St. Maries, Idaho, II of ths l. W. w. are in jail and none of ths 250 men employed in the lumber mills there quit work. At Sand Point Idaho, more than 500 men continued at work in the lumber mills, Activi ties continued as usual in the EasterI Washington harvest fields.

"SCALLOPlNG" FOR SCALLOPS
Fishermen Gather Them by Hand in
Shallow Water

Imagine the tide running low, dis
closing the bright, sandy bottoms OF
countless inlets, the ripple Of the
waters making dim the outlines of the
corrugated surfaces of the submerged
shore. At such times, and in certain
localities which shall be nameless, the
willy hunter issues forth I'm bathing
suit, or rubber booted, or even--in the
enthusiasm of the moment-fully
clothed. with pail or basket sometimes
attached to his waist by a cord. He
wades in at slow pace, gazing
searchingly into the depth of the
water for a sign of his prey choosing
at first the shoals where ii is easier
to see, and as likely a spot as others
for fine shelfish.
And here a curious phenomenon is
discovered; his eye catches the CLINT Of
a shining shell and he stoops to Sc
cure it, only to find a half-shell with
out life. The brighter the shell the
less chance of its being inhabited. The
scallop covers himself, when possible,
with few strands of seaweed. or bur
les himself i'm the mud or sand ana
therefore, when in the fun bloom or
life. he looks like n hoary. hairy thing
Of past history, an incrusted shell
from which life might have departed
centuray ago. If by good fortune the
hand comes in contact with him, how
ever, his vitality is made quickly evi-
dent by a savage snap of his shell. as
the large muscle expands and con
tracts in self-defense. Should n finger
become caught between the upper and
lower valves, the hunter is in for n
sharp nip.
The quest leads from spot 10 spot,
from shoal water into deeper parts.
until one finds ones self waist deep,
bending and stoooping, raking the bot
tom, with frenzied hand cropping for
these tufted prizes; and when one is
fortunate enough to secure a good
spot, the hand never fails to bring up
one, two. and sometimes more.
