CONNECTICUT'S ROLE
 IN THE GREAT WAR
Records of Each Community to Be
 Preserved at Hartford

Hartford, Aug. 17.-Full historical records of Connecticut and the war are assured the state by action of the Connecticut State Council of Defense in establishing a Historical Records Committee this week.
 The defense council recently issu-
 ed detailed questionnaires to the local
 war agencies in every town and city
 concerning all forms war work. The
 questions covered amounts raised for
 war relief, number of men and Wom- en in the service, war loan records,
 accounts of war gardens and other
 undertakings for the solving of the
 food problem, Liberty Chorus organi-
 zatiOns, and other civilian war ac-
 tivities. The completed question:
 naires are now being received by the
 council of defense and bring to light
 many examples of extraordinary local patriotism and original undertakings.
 Tn view of the enthusiasm reused by these records and the interest manifested in the war bureaus and state council of defense, a Historical Records Committee of the council was established this week under the chairmanship of State Librarian
 George s. Goddard. The personnel of l the committee is not completed but will be representative of all parts of 1 the state. The historical records ] will consist of interesting unofficial material as well as the official records The headquarters of the committee l will be at the State Library where the state archives are located. These | archives contain the state history 1 complete from 1920, back of which date they are being secured as fast as l the difficulties in the way of collection allow.
 1 The records of the part which the 1 colony and state of Connecticut have played in previous wars are available l there and a complete record of this war; when it has been compiled con- l temporaneously by the newly formed committed will be 8 worthy addition l to the war history of the "Consituion l State"

DRIVE FOR NURSES.
Connecticut Believed to Have Far Ex-
 ceeded Its Quota.

Hartford, August 17-Although the returns from the drive for student nurses during the past two weeks are not yet complete, the indications are that Connecticut has, greatly overen- listed the quota. The government as- signed this state a quota of 45O in the national drive for 25,OOO young women to enter civilian and military hospitals for the regular term of training to relieve the same number of already trained nurses called by Surgeon General Gorgas for service abroad. The reports from less than half the 168 towns of the state who have as yet forwarded their applica- tions to the state capitol record $40 young women enrolled. The chairman of the committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense in charge of the enrolment said yesterday. after examining the applications received
 that a very fine type of girl had VOL unteered She added that many more applicants eager to undertake this patriotic service had been turned away because they did not havo +ho necessary educational requirements The volunteers who are accented in Washington will be called to the hos pitals as fast as they are needed from now until April i. 1919.

LAY FOR TWO HOURS
 IN NO MANS LAND
Private Anthony Stcmpien of Com pany I Describes Experiences
 in July 24 Battle.

It has been learned that injuries received by Private Anthony Stempien of Company l, 102d Regiment, dur ing a battle with the Huns recently, are not as severe as had been at first reported, and that he is now in condition that will assure complete recovery. This information was ob- tained from the parents of the sol dier, MT. and Mrs Joseph Stempien of II Silver street, who received five letters from him yesterday. These letters came close on the heels of a telegram Thursday. announcing that Private Stempien had been severely wounded in action.
 Undoubtedly one of the letters was mailed directly after Stempien had fallen during a charge through No
 Mans Land as he tells of being struck( dazed, and later taken to a
 dressing station in the rear of the
 lines. The battle in which Stempien
 received his wounds, as stated in the
 telegram, took place on July 24. The
 most graphic as we'll as interesting in
 cident related in Stempien's letters is that which refers to the charge in
 which he was almost killed. The sig
 nal had been given for charge, and Company I, containing many New
 Britain boys leaped over the firing line and tore through No Mans Land. When the Americans were sighted, the Germans let loose the best they could, but the charge kept on. Right , next to Stempien, a German shell eX- plOded, a bullet striking him in the 1 chest, throwing him to the ground, | unconscious. He lay there for two l hours his comrades passing on send ! ing the Germans back to their ! trenches, many of them falling dead 1 in their tracks. Two hours later he ] was picked up and carried to a field l hospital, where, upon discovery, Il l was found that the bullet that struck ! him in the chest had first hit a steel 1 portion of his gas mask which 1 changed it's course. That piece of 1 steel alone, it is believed, saved Stem 1 piens life There is a possibility that l the mask was one of thousands man.
 ufactured by a local concern, which 1 gives added local Interest to the incl 1 dent.

Young Mir. Stock Brokers Home Not Burglarized-Jewei Are
 Left on Farm

One of the successful young stock brokers of the city is the butt ot some good-natured tWitting from his friends on account of his lapse of memory a day or two ago. MT Broker woke up the other morning to dis cover that he was minus his watch and some of his other adOrnmentS. Immediately he eXcitedly telephoned to police headquarters that his home had been burglarizcd while he was wrapped in the arms of morpheus. Grabbing a piece of war bread with one hand and fastening his necktie with the other he rushed out of the house and hopped into his Henry Ford and broke all speed laws to get to the bank where he has a, safe de- posit box. He eXcitedly examined his papers to ascertain if he was covered on burglary insurance. He breathed sigh of relief when he found he was. The agent was then notified. That afternoon MT. Broker went for a ride in his auto, visiting his farm, where he had been the after noon previous. There in an old suit of working clothes he discovered his watch and iewelry. He hastened to | call off the sleuths who were at work on the burglary and the clerks who | Were employed making up hls lnsur- ance claim. And now he is passing out
 cigars.
