Details of the accident are lacking and inasmuch as Major Beebe had not received aireport of the affair at 2:SO this afternoon he could not and would not make any comment It was learned, however, by a Farmer repre- sentative that member of Benders company was cleaning his rife sitting at the post.
 Render was walking with his rifle on his shoulder when the other prl- vate placed a shell in the chamber of the gun In some unknown man ner he accidently discharged it, the steel pellet finding it's mark in Ben der's body.
 The emergency hospital was called and Lieut.. Thomas Healy, the regi- ment surgeon notified. The latter reached the scene first from the Rem ington Arms barracks, in an emer- gency car donated to the regiment for use in thsa type of accidents by Wal ter B. Lea1sar, president of the Amer ican Chain Go.
 Lieut.. NtaIy and pr. s. I. Aranki, after haEky examination, found that the ball hnA not inflicted a dangerous wound emA Bender was taken to the Bridgepsga hospital for treatment

FIVE KILLED, 50 INJURED
 BIZ TORNADO
Fierce Storm Sweeps
 Through Missouri and
 Kansas Causing Loss of < Life and Great Property
 Damage Floods Feared
 in Some Sections.

Kansas City, June e-Tornadoes last night caused the death of 14 per- sons, the injury of half a hundred and much property damage in Missouri and Kansas. dispatches from various sections today showed Telegraph and telephone wires are down in part of the storm area and when complete advices are received the death list may be increasd.
 Perhaps the most severe of the tor nadoes occurred in Centralia. Mo-. where five persons were killed, 80 in- 1ured and 50 small houses were des- troyed. Just east of Richmond two women and q baby were killed and their home was wrecked. Three ne- sroes are expected to die as a result of injuries.
 The village of Elmont, near Tope- ka, Kan. virtually .was ievelled. with the death of one man there and two {, others nearby. The storm swept on into the open country. A negro boy was killed near Lawrence and a man is reported dead in Clinton, father west.
 A downpour of rain followed the tornadoes and many small streams in d few minutes were out of their banks. All the rivers are rising rapidly, and in some sections floods are feared.

TEUTONS THROWN BACK BY FRENCH
 NEAR HURTEBISE
Two Violent Attacks Re pulsed With Heavy
 Losses.

6 Paris, June 6-Two violent German attacks on French positions at Hurte- bise and the Chemin des Danes were repulsed last night with heavy losses to the attackers, according to an off ciaI statement here this morning. The attacks were preceded by an intense cannonading. Lively actions took place during the night on the Belgian front.
 The statement follows:
 ssThere was great activity during the night over large part of the Chemin des Danes and farther west, between the Afllette and the Laon road. The artillery fighting became very intense late at night, especially east of Vauxinoh. north of Moulin de Laffaux and over the whole region northwest of Braye en Laonnois.
 ssNear Hurtebise, after spirited bombardment, the Germans late yes terday made two attacks in vain on our positions northeast of the monu- ment, The Germans were driven back to their trenches after a violent in which they suffered heavy losses at the hands of our sol- diers, and our line was maintained everywhere Over the remainder or the front there was intermittent can nonading.
 'sOn the Belgian front lively actions took place late at night.
 Our pilots yesterday engaged in numerous fights with the enemy. Seven German aeroplanes and one captive balloon were brought down .

HOME GUARD TO BE OUT BEFORE FOURTH OF JULY Active Service for State Military Promised With
 in Few Weeks. NOBODY GAN ESCAPE HIS SHARE OF WORK Each Man to be Checked Up by Headquarters and His
 Comrades.

The Home Guard is preparing tor actual duty Officers in high com mand throughout the state are certain that the call will come from Governor Holcomb before July 4 and possibly within two weeks.
 Indications of nasty preparation are seen in quarterpnaster's acquisitions at Hartford calling for canteens, b1an- Ekets, ponchos and shelter tents and the arrival in Bridgeport today of a quantity of haversacixs which will be
 held in the supply headquarters until further equipment has been received.
 It became known today that at |tempts to evade sentry duty, one of the irlzsome tasks of a soldier, have already been foreseen by commanders of the Home Guard who will put into
 force U. s. army regulations with re- gard to interior guards, patrels and military police.
 So that no indivldual member who might be favored by a company com mapder can escape his share of the duty, regular percentage tables of the propertly eonetieuted onicers of dividua1 guard duty are to be kept by the various units and will be checked and observed in the offices of the nil- itary emergency board
 Where 1t is found after the first weeks of guard duty have been com pleted that some companies or fndi- vbdnals have escaped with a low per eentageF of duty those units or men win be ordered on special tours of duty to complete. equal percentage
 with other mon or organizations That no partiality may be shown company commanders will keep open records of the duty and percentages for each private to be posted on bulletin boards fors inspection of the men,
 Under tpfs system some who may have hoped to evade by excuse their full share of patrol on bridges or at factories. will be disappointed, for no partiality will be tolerated by the board in control of state troops. F Officers in Bridgeport declare today l that the service will not be onerous (Continued on Page 2.)

BRIDGEPORT IS
 LEADING BUYER IN BONDS OF U. s.
Liberty Loan Sales Here Be lieved Greater Than Else
 where in State.

While no figures are as yet avail able from Hartford all indications are that Bridgeport is leading the state in the Liberty Loan campaign.
 Bridgeport has now $2,700, o0o worth of bonds and is rapidly approaching the $3,000,000 figure. It has far outstripped New Haven which has taken but SIPS ,000 worth of bonds to date
 Hartford's figures have not yet been compiled but it is not believed that they will total as much as Bridge ports. Both Bridgeport and Hart ford have the same goal, s5.000, 900 worth of bonds. Stamford has al- ready reached the s1,1s6,400 mark and Norwalk is forging rapidly ahead toward it's goal of $5o0,oo0.
 Howard Speer of Hincks Bros. & CO, addressed employees of the Standard Manufacturing Co.,, and two groups o1 the Remington Arms employees yester- day afternoon, on Liberty bonds. Half the employees of The D. M. Read Go. heard talk this morning. This aft ernoon Singer Manufacturing Go workers will be acquainted with de- tails of the loan. Thursday MT. Speer will speak at the Locomobile Co.
 Attorney Samuel c. Shaw spoke al Polls theatre last night. Mayor Will son was scheduled to speak this after noon, but he was busy with matter. pertaining to registration and a sub. stitute was procured. Judge Carl Eos ted will talk tonight. Friday and Saturday evenings Attorney Charles G. Shapiro will address the crowds
 MT. Speer was in Shelton last night where he addressed Shelton and Derby factory foremen on the loan.
 The Singer Manufacturing Go. has decided to purchase bonds for it's em. ployes who may desire to subscribe ana tfe company will deduct from weekly salaries sI. s2 CT $10 for sub, scription to $50. $1oo or $5oo bonds.

PARK CITY LEADS STATE FOR REGISTERING YOUNG
 MEN ELIGIBLE TO DRAFT

America,s millions of the military age prescribed by Congress are regis tered for the war against Germany. In every state in the union today re- ports from registration places to which about, 1O,OO0,000 young men went yesterday to record their names were assembled for trahsmission to the war department.
 The next step in the governments s plan Twill be the selection of those who actually are to bear arms from those who remain at home because of dependents, disability or to do the work on the farm or in the factory to do the work that must be carried on to maintain the nation. This task will be undertaken as soon as com plete returns from. the registration have been tabulated and surveyed at the office of the provost marshal gen. eral.
 The men selected, about 1000, 900 as now estimated, will be called to the .coIors and put into training early in the fall. Originally it was intended to call only 500,00O for the first army to support the National, Guard and regulars, but a few days ago it was announced that nearly 1,0o6,000 men would be needed on the first selection.
 Only four arrests were made. acc cording to the department of justice, and it was pointed out today that the total trouble reported indicated that the day was more peaceful than a gen. eral election. sl
 The war department expects the full return to show that the large pro- portion of young men registered and declined to claim exemption, even though many had dependents or disa- bilities Thus they expressed q spirit of willingness to abide by the judg- ment Of local exemption boards and to do their bit if their country needs them.
 Any who registered may still volun- teer until draft day for any branch of the army. navy, or marine corps, and automatically pass from the ranks lia- ble for conscription.
 Possibly due to the boom here a couple of years ago, and the great advertisement Bfidgeport's attractions received, registration of young men showed this city has the greatest number in the state. Some contend, however, that this means Bridgeport has outstripped New Haven in popu- lation.
 Figures for Bridgeport are approx inlately 26,0o0. Hartford recorded 16, 800, and New Haven 1s.o00. The

naan. Norwalk, Danbury, Bethel, New town, Bedding, Westport and a pla- toon from Brookfie1d.
 It is likely that invitations to ad- Joining military districts will swell the aggregate number of soldiers by 2,000 but such invitations have not yet been sent or accepted.
 The determination to hold the pa rade was made by the committee which met in the Chamber of Com merce rooms today following con- suitation with Mayor Wilson, colonel of the Fourth Military district. The committee, headed by Clarence E. Bilton. head of the Manufacturers association includes George H. Flames, F. A. Ambrose, George B. Crawford and August Englehard.
 Last years Independence Day Pa rade, which was gigantic in its scope will pale into insi gnificance if the plans of the committee for this year are carried out as tentatively deter mined upon today.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-06

state figures probably will reach 175,- 900.
 Work of tabulating the Bridgeport men between the ages of 21 and 31 who registered yesterday for con. scriptfon goes on today at the city hall and it is doubtful if the task will be finished before late in the afternoon. Of the men registered, separations of the men without dependents must be made from those having dependents and the physically fit and unfit will also be classified. No attention has yet been paid to the claims for ex- emption made yesterday as the men were registered. After II o'clock last night when it appeared impossible to complete the tabulation of the regis tration information. Mayor Wilson or- dered the work suspended until this morning. The cards were packed and taken to the Connecticut National Bank building where they were placed in vault until this morning. Mem- bers of Company D. Home Guards, formed around the bank building un- til the cards were safely put away for the night and from then on two mem- bers of Company c remained on guard duty.

London, June 6.--A Central News dispatch from Amsterdam says the German newspapers are exhibiting considerable concern because of the greatly increased artillery activity in Belgium, along the salient between Ypres and Wytschaete, which has been mentioned repeatedly in the official In Germany this is believed to be the fore runner of a new and fierce action. The concen- trations of troops made behind the en- tente front greatly puzzles the German press, which specuIatee as to what will be the next move.

/ The departments announcement follows:
 'AThe department of state is advised by telegraph of an engagement be- tween. an armed American steamer and a submarine. The guns of the steamer were manned by an American naval crew. The submarine was first seen at about 1000 yards.I She had a six inch gun forward and another aft She flew no flag.
 On sight of the submarine the steamer hoisted the American flag and waited for about 10 minutes. AS the submarine approached the steamer fired. The submarine responded. The steamer kept speed that would per init the submarine to come within range Then followed fight lasting flor an hour and a half The subma- rine came to a, distance of about 2,300 yards. By that time the submarine had fired 35 shots and the steamer 25. The last shot of the steamer apparent ay struck the submarine. which raised clear out of the water and stood stern end mp for few seconds. Then she disappeared. The captain of the steamer and the commander of the guard believe that the submarine was sunk. NThe steamer suffered no dam- age"

FOOD SUPPLY IS
 SUFFICIENT FOR x.
 LENGTH OF WAR

Berlin. June 6-via London-It is officially stated that at a conference between the Prussian house of lords and the heads of the various de- partments it was decided that there was complete assurance that the food supply was sufficient to enable the country to hold out for the remaind- CT of the crop year and until the con- clusion of victorious peace. The conference, which was held under the presidency of the minister of the interior, formulated regulations for the crop year of 1917-1915 and considered all possibilities of food distribution.
