REGtMENTAL PARADE
 AT NEW LONDON
To Be Given by Sixty-eishth C. N. G., Followed by Soldier Life Exhibition.


 New London is to have grand patriotic spectacle next Wednesday, when a thousand or more of Uncle Sann's boys, in service uniform, will parade the streets of the city and later give an exhibition of the routine of soldier life in camp at Plant field.
 The Sixty eighth regiment, c. N. G., rnv7 located at an island fort expects to 20 overseas before long for active service. Unlike most of the other regi- r1ents that have been formed, the Six tv-eighth has no regfmental fund and it is for the purpose of getting together an adequate sum to purchase the com forts that soldiers need, in addition to the necessities that are supplied by the government
 It is hoped to raise S, 900 for this worthy purpose in New London, and other places will contribute toward the fund, which will be most useful 70 the men when they are doing duty on foreign soil.
 Captains Meserve. Huh and Hovey have been in consultation with Presi- dent Carlos c. Peck and members of the New London Chamber of Com nerce and it has been arranged to
 
 n1ent as could be spared, over 1000, come to New London next Wednesday arriving soon after noon, and give a pSrade through the principal streets of the city. The parade will end at Plant field, where the soldiers will give an exhTb:tion of camp life. start ing at re~eiIle and ending with taps. A fee win be charged for attendance st the exhibition and it is hoped that there viii be big crowd out to see the soldiers to contribute toward their fund.
 The Sixty eighth regiment is com posed of Connecticut and Illinois boys Illinois has already rallied to the sup port of the fund and there is no doubt that Connecticut will do it's full share. As coast artillery regiments in the future will be formed at concentration camps, this is the last chance the neople of this vicinity will have to help in that way.

Ask Directors and Teachers
to Help Secure Passage
of Bill

School directors and teachers in
the county will be urged by Super
intendent +. T.. Shambaugh TO CO.
operate in a campaign to have Con-
gress pass a bill establishing a new
cabinet office to be known as the
Department of Education. Letters
requesting the officials and teachers
to communicate with Senator Hoke
Smith, in Washington, in charge of
the move, will be sent out in day
or two.
The proposed bill would also au-
thorize a federal appropriation to
the various states, to be redispersed
to school districts within each state
in addition to the usual appropria-
ton, thus increasing funds which
would be available for educational
purposes.
Superintendent Stambaugh said
the plan to establish the new eXecu-
| tive department is a good one and
will be of great value in securing
further important educational ad-
vancement throughout the entire
country. At present all the govern
ment educational work Is done
through the Department of the In
terror as one of the branches. School
officials in many parts of the coun-
try have been advocating the creation
| of a new cabinet office to handle the
country's school program and needs,
Mr.. Stambaugh said.
In the letters to be sent out atten-
ton will be called to the annual
meeting of the State Educational As
sociation opening December 80 and
to the importance of arranging for

ALLIED NATIONS
WILL INCREASE
FORCE IN RUSSIA
Entente Soldiers to Take Place
of the Retiring
Germans

Washington, Dec. 14.-It is the
purpose of the Allied governments to
send troops to the western provinces
of Russia to take the place of the
German armies when they evacuate
Russian territory. The populations
of those regions of Russia occupied
by the Germans have al pealed to the
Allies not to leave thenTunprotected
and exposed to the attacks of the
Bolsheviki.
The United States has taken no
positive position in regard Ito the
dispatch of an American force with
the Allied troops to Western Rus
sian provinces, but the decision is
expected to be made by President
Wilson while he is, in Paris. The
Allies maintain they are obligated
not to compel the withdrawal of the
police protection of the Germans
without substituting their own for
the inhabitants.
Official advices received here make
it clear that the apprehension felt
by the Russians in the border prov
inces and along the Baltic coast OF
attacks by the Bolsheviki is not idle
as the Bolshevik authorities already
have begun campaigns to extend
their control over those districts.
1t was reiterated that there had
been no change in Americas policy
towards Russia. 1t was affirmed that
the original object of the expedition
to the Murman coast was to prevent
the establishment by the Germans
of a submarine base there and also
to prevent the seizure of the large
military stores at Archangel which
had been shipped to that port by the
Allies and the United States.

YANKEES READY
TO DELUGE FOE
WITH GAS FLOOD
Planned to Hurl Ten Tons OF
Mustard to Every One
Enemy Had

Washington, Dec. 14.-When hos
tilities ceased the American Army
was being prepared and equipped
to hurl ten tons of mustard gas INTO
the German forces for every ton the
Germans could deliver, Major Cen
eral William l.. Sibert, director OF the
chemical warfare service, said last
night at a dinner given in his honor.
On the day that the armistice was
signed, he said, plans for the man
'ufacture of the standard gases were
in operation with a manufacturing
capacity greater than that OF ENG
land and France combined. This
capacity would have been trebled
in the case of certain gases before
the beginning of the new year.
General Sibert revealed the fact
that his department had perfected
a new type of gas mask for the de-
Tense of the American Army Whlch
was far superior in every respect 10
any mask used by either the enemy
or the Allied forces. He added That
40O,0 of these masks had been pro-
duced when the war ended.
Speaking of the work done to equip
the army with gas shells and new
and more terrible poisonous vapors,
Colonel w. II. Walker, in charge
of production, said that the great
plant constructed at Edgewood,
Maryland. was "the most deadly in
stitution since time began. While he
gave no figures, he indicated that
casualties among the enlisted men
who handled these deadly products
at the plant would be hard to match
on the battle front"

MEN OF EIGHTH RECT.
BAND COMING HOME
[ContInucd from First Page ]

shortly after its return from the
Mexican border. Enlisting in the
Pennsylvania National Guard in
March. 1917, Lieutenant Clark, took
immediate steps to reorganize the
unit.
Some few members of the original
band re-enlisted with the unit, new
ones were added and after the
United States entered the war, addi-
tional new members were added.
Located at the Island for some time,
the band moved with other Pennsyl-
vania National Guard units to Camp
Hancock, Ga, in September 1911,
and when the National Guard was
broken up as units, having previously
been mustered in Federal service, il
was transferred to Camp Wads-
worth. S. c. There it had been
training for the past nine months
The Sixtieth Pioneer Infantry
Band, as the unit was known after
the reorganization of the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard, was expecting
orders to go overseas at any time
at the time the armistice was signed
Every memeber had passed the over
seas examination and the actual
| order sassigning the unit to overseas
duty was expected at any time.
The unit gained an enviable record
among army musical organizations
during the period of its service. Dur
ing the several Liberty Loan and
other campaigns of patriotic organ
| izations, it took an active part in all
demonstrations in their behalf.

to get them out of the church.
Describing unsuccessful efforts of
