protected from air attacks by accom-
panying warplanes circling above
them, ready to drive away any
enemy machines which may ap.

Only 1000 Men Left
 At Yale For. Term

Estimates of decreases of from 10 to 20 per cent. in the number of stu- dents at Eastern colleges this fall due to the war have been made from the registration figures and the number Avho are known to have enlisted, ac- cording to an announcement made in New York, Sept T. In some instances the reductions will be so great that a curtailGseIlt
 of courses has been deesned advis- able. ; \, At Princeton registration figures show a decrease in the number of students of about a third, whiles at Harvard indications are that the freshman class will be about nor
 nal size. The registration. at liar ward last year was 5,656, which it was said might be reduced this year by
 1,500. At Yale the authorities are expecting the smallest registration in a decade. Probably not more than
 2,000 students will be in attendance when the fall term opens, as against a normal year of about $500. Hun-a dreds of upper 'classmen at Yale ala ready have volunteered, or been drafted, while a decrease of 200 in the number of freshmen is expected.
 Registration at Williams College indicates that not more. than $50 will enroll as against 549 last year. Am herst College, according to estimates, will show 80 TOT 40 per cent; reduc- ton in attendance, while at Dart mouth /only 800 are expected instead of the usual r1,500. At Cornell Uni verslty, it is said, preparations are being made for only about two-tairds of the usual number of students.

raised it's tuition rates and many of the instructors have. been dis missed. Decreases even in freshmen classes at Brown, Dartmouth and the western Massachusetts institutions are being looked forward to by college of fcials. At some of the colleges. where undergraduate life is centred around fraternity houses. as at Am- herst, Williams and Dartmouth, the leaders of the principal societies gre almost panicky about economies and the vacancies brought about by the war. Many of the frats, is said, with national regulations already have made plans for retrenchment.
 7 Last year the infantile paralysis epidemic caused delay in opening New England institutions of learning. This fall three of the Maine colleges Bates, Colby and the University of Maine-will postpone opening until October II, a month later than usual. The war is largely responsible for this, and one of the leading contributir reasons is the large number ot stu dents engaged in emergency work on the Aroostook potato farms.
 Undergraduate publications will in many cases be suspended. kOne of these, the Harvard Illustrated, already has announced such intentions, while the Harvard Crimson's publishers say that if it does not suspend at least it will reduce it's size. Publishers of the Lompoon, however, believe they can continue this humorous magazine as usual. The Yale News and the Brown Herald will be lessened in size.

BUILD HOSPITALS ORECONS TRUCT
 WARS WOUNDED
Sites Chosen ih 19 Cities Build First in Four
 Eastern Centres.

. Washington, Sept. 17-sites have the great reconstruction" hospitals, the work of rehabilitating for private life it's soldiers who return wounded from the front in Europe. The cities, selected as the largest centres of pop ulation. were announced last night by Major General Gorgas, surgeon general of the army, as follows:
 Boston. New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cin- cinnati, Chicago, St. Paul, Seattle, San Francisco. Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Richmond, Atlanta and New Orleans
 The hospitals at Boston, New Y ork, Washington and Chicago probably will be the first built. They will have 500 beds each. with provision for doubling their capacity if necessary.
 4HThe whole conception of govern ment and national responsibility for caring for the wounded said General Gorgas, in making the announcement . "has undergone a radical change dur ing the months of study given to the subject by experts. serving with the Medical Officers Reserve Corps and others consulting with them. Instead of the old idea that responsibility end ed with the return of the soldier to private life with his wounds healed and such pension as he might bs given, it is now considered that it is the duty of the government to equip and re-educate the wounded man return him to civil life ready to be a tn nd hi as possible.
 .'These hospitals will not be the last step in the returns of the wounded soldiers to civil life. When the sol diers are able to take up industrial training, further provisions will be ready. The injured men may be re- trained to his previous occupation to conform with his handicapped condi- tionf1 or retrained for a new industry comparable with that condition. Ad- ditional education will be given to those fitted for it and men may in some cases be returned to more vaIu- able work than that from which they were called to war. Workshops will be provided at the hospitals, but ar rangements will also be made: with outside industries whereby more elab- crate methods. of training may be car- ried on. An employment bureau will be established to place. men so trained in different parts of the United States.
 "Orthopedic (prevention, of dv- formity) surgeons will be attached to the medical force near the firing line. and to the different hospitals back of the base orthopedic hospitals, which will be established within 100 miles of the firing line. In this hospital, in addition; to orthopadic' surgical care, there will be equipment for surgical reconstruction work and curative workshops in which men will acquir e ability to use injured members while doing work interesting and useful in itself.

 '"The duty of self-development for you and me is no less imperative. Are you content to settle down in your Morris chair after the routine of your day and say: There is nothing I can do different, am so many years old and man of my age never does any. thing new?' That is a diabolical doc Urine. am sure there are a great many Bridgeport citizens who are falling below their maximum because they are not realizing the obligations of their development. What are you going to dc. about your own life? Shall this winter go on in the same routine, .or at the end of it will you know something you don't know now, will you have larger power to exercise the abilities of your personality? One day passed a great factory and some of the shutters were closed. That fac tory was working only at half ca pacity. wonder-how many of us are working at half capacity. America needs full capacity, men and women!
 May remind you that we are in an entirely new, age; someone has called this the great socia1istie age. Society as a. whole is rising to new Ecaracity for collective action. The union of all social organizations, the club and the fraternal order. the labor and the capital, the school and the church are necessary to save the, American standard, to make a higher average of American intelligence. And it must always be charged with a. re- |ligious motive. Sometimes the, God motive is below, the surface. but it is never far below.
 And so T quote the words of. St
 Paul: Study to show yourself yap- proved unto God Then you will be a workman that needeth not to be
