MEN REGRET THEY
 DIDN'T CHOOSE OWN
 BRANCH OF SERVICE;

New Haven, Oct. 19-Letters re- ceived here by friends from Camp Devens and called to the attention of officers of the local army recruiting station today say that while the writ CTS have no fault to find with their cantonment, they wish they had volunteered so as to be able to follow their trades in which they feel that they could be of more service to the government than under present con- ditfons. One man in seeking a trans fer writes that he has spent IA years in automobile repair and construc- ton, and in tool and electrical work, and thought he could be of more ser vice to the government in some such capacity.
 Army officers commenting on these letters said that these men had a chance to volunteer up to the eleventh hour, but as drafted men they must go where they are sent. Men vo1un- teering their services are naturally allowed to choose their abranches'
 Orders were received at the local recruiting office today to enlist men in the coast artillery. Men are wanted for surveying and printing battalion, national army, and chemists, gas workers, steam filters, plumbers and fire fighters are wanted for a division of engineers, it is said.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES

The battle of Salamis, the first great and decisive naval battle in his tory, between the Greek and Persian
 fleets, was fought on Oct. 20. 400, B. C., or i2,397 years ago today. Themis- tocles, the Athenian commander. had 366 vessels to oppose the Persian
 fleet of nearly 2,000 sail. Facing such superior force, most of the
 Greeks wanted to sail away, but
 Themistoc4es was determined upon immediate battle. He sent word to Xerxes, the Persian king, informing
 him that the Greek fleet would at tempt to escape, and advising him to
 guard both ends of the strait. The Persian monarch followed this advice and the Greeks, ''bottled up," were forced to fight. The battle began early in the morning and continued throughout the day. The Persian
 king, who hoped to make Greece a
 province of Persia as the fruit of the conflict, 'tsafe on the rocky brow which looks OCT sea-born Salanis, . and gazed down to where ships by
 thousands lay below" Byron con- tinues: "He counted them at break of day-and when the sun set where were they?' The Greeks were com
 plete1y victorious, and on the day af- Eter the battle the bay was covered
 with the wrecks of Asia's fleet.

REGISTERED MEN MAY ENLIST IN
 REGULAR ARMY
Men Called For Examina- tion Are Barred, However,
 Under the Regulations.
FAIRFIELD AVE. AND MIDDLE ST.

Reports received from the main re-
 cruiting station for the regular army,
 located at New Haven, indicate that
 recruiting is speeding up in every sec
 ton in this state and that scores of
 drafted men, who have not been ex-
 amined by draft boards. are votuntar-
 fly enlisting and not waiting to be
 sent to the draft camps. Thirty men
 were forward from New Haven on
 Wednesday.
 A number of drafted men are un-
 der the impression that they can join
 the army after they have received
 their notification to appear before the
 draft board. Once a man has re-
 ceived his notification it is impossible for him to enlist. This news has been made public time and time again but for some reason or other men in the draft seem to forget it. Hundreds of machinists, clerks, stenographers, mechanics, black smiths, bakers, cooks, chauffeurs8 and practically all classes of tradesmen are wanted for the regular army. the national guard units and the national army. The cavalry, infantry, engin- eers. signal corps, the aviation sec ton of the signal corps and the medf- cal department, are open to volun-
 
 teers. Men must be between the ages of IS and 40 years. weight 11o pounds and over and height 61 inches and over. Physical waivers are made in certain cases and there is no reason why any physically fit man should stay out of the army at this time, say army officers,
 Never before in the history of the army were advancement and promo ton and good pay so certain for en- listed men. Young men, who enlist
 today, will have the big positions to- morrow, say the officers. They are telling facts about Connectteat men, who are rising from private to ser geanties and commissions in the army. Carrissimo Candelo, aged 20 years weight 112 pounds and height 60 1-2 inches was accepted for the army 1 Thursday. He is the shortest man in Uncle Sam's land force.

ADVOCATE USE
 OF COLD STORAGE EGGS FOR ARMY

New York. Oct. 19-Thesuse of cold storage eggs as army rations will be suggested to the government, it was learned here today, by representatives of the butter and egg exchanges of Boston. Philadelphia, Chicago and New York and the Mercantile ex- change of New York. A committee consisting of one member of each of these markets plans ito go to Wash fngton with the further suggestion that the federal food officials fix a price that would be on the usual basis of cost plus 10 per cent.
 Chicago packers are said to own millions of cold storage eggs for which there is no demand because the supply today greatly exceeds the supply that existed at the time the eggs were put aside. The holdings are said to be 1S.2 per cent. greater than year ago in 40 storage warehouses throughout the country. Their market value today is considerably less than when they were put in storage and wholesalers are said to be facing mil lions of dollars losses unless a cost plus price is fixed arbitrarily by the government z.

 TO BERNSTORFF, TAi;EBlAfT SAYS
sQHestions Authenticity of z Felegrans Published
 By Lansing

Amsterdam. Oct. 19 - Count von -Bernstorff, former ambassador to the United States, did not know Bolo Pasha. the Brenchman held as a spy in France, accord ding to, the Tageblatt. Discussing the Bolo affair, the news paper says:
 ''In connection with the Bolo Pasha episode and the disclosures of Secre- tary Lansing concerning the part al- legged to have been played by Am bassador won Bernstorf and Foreign Secretary von Jagew. we are informed by a competent source that the per- sonality of Bolo Pasha was not known to von Bernstorf in Washington, in- asmuch as the ambassador did not have recourse to sources in the United States which might have been at the disposal of official quarters here. It is also established that the name of Bolo Pasha was never made known to von Bernstorf. and his banker inter- mechanics did not mention him. Con- sequently the passage in the alleged telegram published by Secretary Lam sing in which yon Jagow asked von Befnstorff what Is new about ''Bolo" is false,
 f'This warrants the obvious deduc- i; ton regarding the trustworthiness of other details in this telegram"
 Among the telegrams given out by Secretary of State Lansing on Oct 5 was the following:
 'sNufnber POS. May 31. The person [ anounced in telegram 692 of March { 20. has not yet reported himself at the 1sgaffun at Berne. Is there any more news hon- your side of Bo1o?
