 , Buzzer SignG t0 g. --

An important matter to be discussed at the meeting of the school board this afternoon was the organization of evening school classes for instruc- ton in radio work and buzzer sig mailing. The government has re- gently sent out an urgent request for the training of 15,00O men in this branch of work and by instituting such courses in the evening school curriculum the school board hopes to be of material assistance to the coun- try.
 These special courses are to be or ganized more especially for the many young men in the city who. are liable to be drafted or who might desire to enlist in the service. Upon the completion of these courses the men would be considered well trained and will be given certificate stating their qualifications and rating. The pay for men in this branch of the service is about double that of the ordinary sol dier. the pay averaging about $60 per month. It is the duty of these radio and buzzer men to interpret the sig nals sent down by the men in aero. planes observation balloons, etc., and transmit them to the commanding of IC0rS WHO uSo IQ0 uaLa gwen CO direct the gun fire of their troops The school board will also recom- mend the organization of another | evening school class in machinery 1 and mechanics.

TO OUR MISSION,
London Papers Say That We Still
 Share Great Interest in War.

London, Nov. 9.-The arrival in London of the American mission, Col. Houses statement to the press and the announcement of the American state department fill g conspicuous place in the morning newspapers. Edi- torially the Times says:
 'The theory that America stands more or less aloof from the Allies may still survive, but henceforward she shares our inmost counsels not only regarding the objects of the war, but as to the way to win it. In several points lately things have not been going too well for the Allies but none of their reVerses or disappoint- ments matter if only the great war power of the United States is direct ed rightly to the common end.'

ASsailant Strikes From Behind, Using PaperWeight as Weapon
POLICE LOOKING FOR MAN
Pieces of Paper Found Scattered on
 Floor of Room Where Body Was Found Contained Name of Man Who
 Police Believe Committed the Crime.

Cleveland, NovI 9.-Dr. Harry Lo- renzo Chapin, physician, author and world wide traveller, was slain late yesterday by an unidentified assail- ant in a room of 8 downtown hotel. His skull had been fractured by a blow on the back of the head.
 Coroner Byrne declared pr. Chapin had been murdered. "The fact that the skin was not cut suggests he said, "that he was struck from be- hind with heavy weapon, probably a piece of pipe or 9 paper weight wrapped in a handkerchief and that great force must have been used."
 General orders were issued early today by the police for the arrest of an unnamed man known to have been in the city yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Chapin, who was the widow of Valen- tine Fries, wealthy Sandusky boat owner and lumberman, before she married '+the blind doctor" as the murder victim was known. last night told the police that her husband went to the hotel yesterday afternoon to meet e man who recently came from Chicago with whom he had business dealings in the past. .
 Shreds of paper found on the floor of the room gave police clues be- heved to suggest a possible motive for the crime. Some of the scraps, pieced together, were found to relate to an express package shipped to Cleveland by man in Chicago and which. the police believe was to be delivered to Dr. Chapin on payment of $1O0. Police investigation devel- 'oped that Dr. Chapin within the week had withdrawn $10O from Q bank. On the pieced together scraps of paper, the police deciphered the name of a man for whom search was begun inn mediate1y.
 Dr. Chapin was 47 years old and had travelled in many countries. He had been blinded when. shortly after leaving college, he travelled to the ruins of Babylon in Mesopotamia and neglected to wear . tufban or dark glasses. Later an operation partial ly restored the sight and he was able to find his way about without assist ance He had written books and was the author of number of photo play scenarios.

LONE WOMAN DRIVER
 IN TURNPIKE CRASH
Neighbors Say Mrs. Judge of New
 Haven Was in Accident
BUT SHE DENIES IT
Automobile Wrecked 100 Feet Away From Spot Where Five Received Fatal Injuries Monday Night Mystery in Double Explanation.

Within 100 feet of the spot where the fatal accident occurred on the Berlin turnpike on Monday night. when five New Haven people lost their lives. another fatality almost ming, when q Mitchell runabout be- longing to Mrs. William D. Judge of 187 Edgewood street. Hartford, was wrecked by running off the road and striking a small bridge. There 1s much mystery as to the identity of the driver of the machine. Accord ing to Mrs. Judge the car was oper- ated by her brother Morton Morton son. an employe of Colts factory, Hartford, while, according to neigh bors, a woman was the sole occupant of the automobile. V
 Neighbors Find Only Woman.
 The accident occurred near the home of Joseph Nichols north of the Beckley branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. According to residents in the vicinity of the wreck. they were aroused from their sleep last night by . loud crash and screams of g. woman. Rushing to the scene trey found woman, sit ting in the car. She was badly cut about the face from the broken glass of the windshield and was stunned and badly shaken up by the force of the collision. An autoist going to- ward New Haven took her to the Elm city for treatment.
 Mrs. Judges Explanation.
 AS in the accident on Monday night, little information could be se- cured about the accident. It is be- heved that the driver of the machine last night lost control of the car as 1t rounded the bad curve in the high- way. The machine is then thought to have swerved from it's course and. after going into a ditch, was stopped after colliding with the bridge lead- ing toward the Connley brtckyards.
 According to Mrs. Judge, her broth- CT and three men came to her honaN last evening and said they had met with an accident. She added that her brother had received g. bad shaking up, but escaped without serious in- jury. He had also lost $20 near the scene of the accident, she added.
 When today's accident became known, talk of petitioning the state highway commissioner to have some means taken to warn automob bilfsts of the dangerous curve in the road was heard.

SIR ERIC OMITTED
 SINKING OF SUBS
German Admiralty Issues State
 ment About Sinking Ships
ACTUAL FIGURES NOT GIVEN
British Birdmen Drop Several Tons of Bombs Upon German Positions With Serious Results Are Also Dropped Upon Transports.

u Amsterdam, Nov. 9.-The German
 admiralty has issued a long state- ment in reply to the speech made re- gently in the house of commons by Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the ad- miralty, in reference to the losses or British ships. The statement asks why Sir Eric omitted sinkings in the Mediterranean and contends that a1- lowing for this omission and for the assumable fact that Sir HTic gave net tonnage, while Germany gives gross tonnage, the British and German fig ures nearly correspond. In regard to the losses of submarines, the state- ment says:
 ''Sir Eric Geddes attempted. with inadequate means, to reduce the Ger man success by half and to corres- pondingly increase submarine losses. With occasional fluctuations which are inevitable with this new method of warfare, the submarine war Hoes unswervingly forward and becomes more effective every day. Despite all British official attempts at denial, 1t assuredly will attain the goal aimed at.
 The statement refers at length to Sir Fries explanation of why the British fleet did not enter the Baltic. It taunts the British with remaining safely behind mine and net defenses and says 1t was fear of being beaten by the German high seas fleet when 1t emerged from. the great belt that induced the British grand fleet not to go to Russia's aid.
 In hi saddress in the house of com mons on November 1. Sir Eric Geddes did not give actual figures on British or Allied merchant losses. He said however, that the net reduction of British tonnage since the beginning Of the war in ships over 1.600 tons was under 2,600.oo0 tons gross, or IA per cent. Sir Erie declared that be- tween 70 and 50 per cent of the Ger nan submaripes operating in the North sea tho Afotic and Atlantic since the beginning of the war had been sunk.
 The first lord explained that the British fleet had not been sent to as- gist because such an operation would t1ke considerable time and because there were extensive mine fields. Re- gponsiblo naval opinion was unan- imoua against such a course.
