HARTFORD H. 5. BOYS
 ARE OUT ON STRIKE
Object to Being Held Within Bounds During Long
 Recess.

Hartford, Sept. 24.-About 500 strike this noon. Their grievances were Q heightened session, conf1ne- ment to school bounds during recess and criticism of the school restaur- ant. The boys marched down town shouting and singing and extra po- hcemen were hastened on their trail to prevent disorder and violent dis turbances.
 Their particular grievance is. &C., cording to the volunteer spokesmen who represented them today, that the schedule of school hours with which the present school year began requires a recess of about 45 min utes during which time the boys are confined to sschool bounds and can find no means pleasing to them of spending the time
 By this years schedule, school starts at S30 in the morning and stops at 11:57 for a recess which ex- tends to 12:42, then assemblies again for an afternoon session continuing to o'clock. The boys said today that they wanted the recess short ened" to not more than. Is minutes duration, and the closing time of the afternoon session set back to 1:3O.
 Last year, they said, they had no such grievance as they now claim, as school then started at 8:30, stopped at II o'clock for a recess of 1 , min utes and closed for the day at 12:50.
 Before the boys left the school for downtown they were addressed by Principal c. C. Hyde. He told them that the reason why it was thought best to keep them within bounds was because many of them would smoke cigarettes, of which he didn't approve for boys, and that in cold weather they would go out insufficiently clothed for a stay on the streets.

sentiment, the force behind the guns that will win the day for justice and liberty. They also, the ambassador said, had concluded that when they struck, Belgium would be found be- mum bed with fright France in de- cay, England in indifference and Am erica in business.
 ''The answer,' said MT. Jusserand, was Liege, Marne. Ypres and St. Mhiel"
 In the dust and smoke of the inn mense fight he continued, ,"the skies are sometimes beclouded and we do not know the hour. But we feel that we are moving toward the evening of der tag and that evening will sect the doom of those criminals who even at this late hour still exercise their faculty of devising and methodically raVage, def1le ana destroy the parts of France which they have to abandon"

American ArtiIlerymcn Open Fire as German Troops Prepare to Rush
 Lorraine DefenseS.

With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, Sept. 23 (By the As sociated Press) American artillery fire prevented a German raid from ma terializing today. Warning of the enemy's intention was given by the start of a, eGrman barrage over the American lines at an early hour. As 1t shifted from the front lines to the back areas, the American fire opened so effectually that any attempt of the German infantry to attack was out Of the question.
 Isolated sectors were subjected to g. harassing bonn bardment during the morning. This fire, however, did no damage. The enemy still is busy con- solidating and organizing his lines in front of the American right flank be- fore St. Mihiel.
 After a gas bonn bardment the enemy attempted a raid of the American lines in the Vosges sector today. He was repulsed with probable losses. be- fore reaching the American trenches.

Washington, Sept "A. - United States Consul General Poole has ar rived in Helsingfors from Moscow and is due in Stockholm tomorrow.
 News that the consul general had crossed the Finnish border in safety cached the state department today in message from He1singfors dated September 21. Upon it's receipt Sec retary Lansing disclosed that a week ago he ordered MT. Poole, the last American official remaining at the Bolshevik capital to leave Russia.
 The dispatch brought no informal tioa concerning the British and French consular officers, who are de- tained by the Bolsheviki, and to aid whom Poole insisted upon remaining at his post until ordered away.
 It developed today that an unsub- stantiated rumor recently reached the state department that the American consulate general at Moscow was be- ing besieged by the BolsheViki because British and French officials were given refuge there. Secretary Lansing said he did not believe this report was true, but because of rumOrs and the known seriousness of the situation at Moscow, he had directed MT. Poole to leave

Senator Thompson Refutese Criticism, Easing State ments on Own Observa- tions - Reports German Morale Low.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Describ ping his recent visit to the western front, Senator Thompson of Kansas, demo- crat, told the senate today that while in some quarters there is a belief that the war can be ended this year, the [ general opinion abroad is that an- |3other year will be required to bring Germany to her knees. America, he And started the ball rolling towards Merlin"
 Senator Thompson opposed a "makeshift compromise or half way peace" and declared It must be final and conclusive and destroy forever Kaiserism and militarism throughout the world"
 German morale was never lower than at the present time, he said, while the Allied armies are con- yinced they are fighting a winning cause and that victory is all but within their grasp"
 The United States entrance into the war is primarily responsible for this change, he added.
 Not alone in man power and in artillery do the Allies predominate but they have q complete superiority in the air. Despite the criticism in this country of the aircraft program, he said, planes now are arriving in France from this country about as rapidly as they can be taken care of. He branded as false statements made in the senate some time ago that in July only one battleplane equipped with Liberty motor was in France.
 The truth is,' he declared, "de- livery of these planes was not ex- pected earlier than July 1. while as q matter of fact the first Liberty motor plane arrived, was set up com plete and christened on May IS last and they have been arriving over there at the rate of five or six per day ever since"
 The first five planes equipped with Liberty motors had the misfortune he said, to land. behind the German lines. He pronounced the Liberty m otor as the best motor in existence and worth whatever loss has been caused by delay in perfecting it.
