Adopt New Signals
In Train Operation

Many precautions to prevent acct
dents between New York and New
Haven on the New Haven road are
being taken. Passengers at the local
station have recently noted many
changes in the lights that shine along
the tracks in the nighttime. It has
been noted that certain lights are
now left burning day and night and
that trains instead Of bearing the two
colored lights at the rear are now
fortified with four such danger sig
nails.
Division Signal Foreman William
II. Kemp, in charge of the signal
work in this section explained in par.
the principal improvements being in
stalled. On freights the "symbol"
light, a high red light appearing from
the cupola of the caboose has been
added. Special colored lights have
for some time been operated at
switches to insure through-line trains.
The greatest improveme will
come with the Introduction of the
three colored lights at all blocks, a
high voltage being reflected through
vary-colored glasses until lights will
be visible even against the brightest
sunshine and at a distance of more
than one mile.

MOBILIZATION
CAMP SITES ON
COAST WANTED

New York, Jan. 24.-The establish
ment of large reservations On govern
ment lands at intervals along the
coasts and borders, for use in the mo-
bilization Of troops in case of war,
was recommended yesterday by DR..
Thomas Darlington, former health
commissioner of New York, in a re-
port to the National Civic federation in
annual session here. In time Of peace,
he said, the camps could be used for
the training of recruits in military tao
tics, sanitation and hygiene and in
aviation and automobile engineering.
DR.. Darlington's report was based on
his Investigation of conditions sur
rounding the national guardsmen and
regulars at the Mexican border. He
would have each reservation Of s20, 900
to $4,000 acres provided with railroad
sidings, water works garbage disposal
plants, depots of equipment and sup
plies, and stores of building materials.
Features of the report are a defense
of the personnel of the militia, plea
for universal military service and crit
icism Of unpreparedness and red tape.
The federation, last night passed a
resolution in which it declared itself
opposed to compulsory health insur-
ance. In the absence of Samuel Com
<pers q paper prepared by him was
read by Warren B. Stone, grand chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
( There must necessarily be a weak
ening of independence of spirit and a
virility when compulsory insurance is
provided for SO large a number of cit
izens,'' said Mr.. Gompers.

TO MEND POOR SHOES.

Ignatz Berger is, shoemaker,
whose little shop is at $40 Main

preston as much as anyone he knows
but for all that he is satisfied that
there are q number Of poor children
in this city who are kept from school
because they have no warm footwear.
This morning he called at the emer-

he had been reading some in the
papers about the local distress. ~

yond my hands, but I am willing to
mend all the poor persons shoes you
send me. I will furnish my own
leather and do as many pairs as T
can every day. I will work nights,
too, to help out, as I think 1t is-a
terrible thing for little children to
suffer from want of good shoes.

SHOES. I wish I were and there would
be no little bare, cold feet. I want
the poor children and parents, too,
to come to me with a ticket from
you and Twill mend their old shoes
as best I can. I don't care how many
are brought to me I will manage to
do them ALL"
In the conversation which followed
this philanthropic offer, the shoe
maker said he did not care to have
the matter get into the papers as he
would prefer that only the poor
should know. To-day the superin-
tendent availed himself Of the gener-
Gus offer and sent several pairs Of
shoes which were made almost as SER
viceable as new ones.

TURKISH ARTILLERY
 IS LOST AT BAGDAD
TwO-Thirds Either Captured or Thrown Into River-Many Prisoners Fall Into Hands of VictOrS.

London, March 12.-After announc- ing the fall of Bagdad in the House of Commons today, Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, said there was every reason to believe that two-thirds of the Turks artillery had ffallen into the hands of the British or had been thrown into the Tigris.
 MT. Bonar Law said the fall of Bag dad came as sequel to a series of brillian toperations carried out by British and Indian troops. When Gen. Maude, commanding the Mesopota- milan army, entered the Tigris above Kut Fl Amara last month he imperiled the safety of the Turkish army. The Turks immediately retired on Bagdad and were pursued with the utmost energy.
 Large numbers of prisoners and ma terials were captured, Mir. Bonar Law said, and there is good reason to be- lieve that two-t thirds of their artillery was captured or thrown into the river.
 On March 5 British cavalry came up with the Turkish rear guard 27 miles from Bagdad. After an action the Turks retreated in the night, abandon ing a prepared position. On March ' British cavalry found the Turks on position on the Diala river, eight miles from the outskirts of Bagdad The river, he said, was unfordable and con- stituted a formidable obstacle. Gen. Maude, therefore, withdrew his cav airy and brought the infantry into action.
 Meanwhile the Turks had received reinforcements from Bagdad. They offered stubborn resistance along the Diala and in position covering Bag dad from the southwest.
 Gen. Maude bridged the Tigris at it's confluence with the Diala Not withstanding the heat and dust, MT Bonar Law said, the British made a brilliant march of Is miles toward Bagdad and found the Turks strongly posted six miles from the town. The Tunrks were attacked at once and driven back to their second posi- tion. two miles in the rear.
 On the night of March the British established a footing on the north bank of the Diala. On the ninth anc
