Another Appeal for Military Census En.
 r0llment

The Connecticut military census ha: now reached point at which it's de gree of complexities depends upon the small mum Der of individuals who have been skipped over by the census agents. There are a few, it is certain whose enrollments have not been talk en. If the census is to be as complete ss Governor Marcus II. Hocomb and ether officials want it to be, the enroll ments of these few must be included in the tabulstion at the state head. quarters in Hartford.
 No man should want to be omitted from this census. The fact that a mans name is included in the enroll ment does not signify that he would be called upon for any greater service in the event of war than man who had not been included in the census. This great enrolment of the man. power of the state is intended merely to give those on whom the responsibl. fly would rest in the event of war a basis upon which 10 plan for Connecti. cuts part.
 It now is up to the individual. Any man who has not been enrolled is under moral obligation-as a man who lives in the state and enjoys it's benefits ito visit the census headquarters in his town or city and fi1ll out the enroll. ment form. The fact is emphasized that this census is not an enlistment, is not to furnish foundation for invol. untsTy military service. It is merely to establish complete inventory of the states resources in men.
 This census should be made com- plete. If, for any reason, your enroll ment has not been taken, it's up to you 10 present yourself at the office of the committee headquarters of your town, inform and present your own census enrolment. Those in charge of the office will have proper blanks on which to make out the re- turn.
 I's a mark of real patriotism and true Americanism 10 aid in making this Connecticut military census aoso- lutely complete.

Sculptor Partridge Sees Public Approval
 of Heroic Work

A plaster model of a heroic statue of Samuel J. Tilden, which Is to be cast iu bronze by William Ordway Par. fridge on New York and Woodstock, |, was uncovered Sunday in New York on the fortieth anniversary of the in- election, Tiden's political adherents maintained, was frudulent. Though MT. Tilden's Mill, when it was opened thirty years ago, provided a fund ot s50, 900 for atmopument, litigation by his heirs and controversy as to who should be the sculptor, prevented the carrying out of the provision until last May, when suit brought by MT. Par fridge against George W. Smith and Lewis V. Randolph, who, with the late John Bigelow, were the Tilden ex- eeutors, was mediated by former Park Commissioner Stoyer, and work was begun.
 The statue will be ten feet high, two feet higher than the normal heroic di mansions so as to it in with the mas siveness Of the surrounding buildings.
 The statue, facing south, will de. piet TiIden standing with his left hand resting on book labeled "Con. stitulion"-a sstirie Preference to the alleged iliegality of his defeats. Sup ported by broad block of Stony Greek granite, the statue will sit in an emplacement of the same pinkish stone forty feet wide and fifteen feet deep, with seat psrapets extending forward on both sides. The right par apet will be decorated with a bronze State seal, while the left will carry that of the city.
