American Minister Sends an
Unconfirmed Report of
This to Washington
NO WORD FROM ENVOY
FRANCIS SINCE FEB. 2
Department Unprepared to
Believe That Ambassador
Has Been Thrown Out

Washington, Feb. .9-An unconfrmcd
report that all the allied missions at
Petrograd had been driven out by the
Bolshevik government and were on their
way to the Swedish border, was received
yesterday at the state department
through American Minister Morris at
Stockholm.
The department has not heard from
Ambassador Francis at Petrograd since
Feb. ,.
State department officials were unprc-
pared to believe that the American am
bassador was leaving Petrograd, because
his last despatch contained nothing TO
indicate that he contemplated going 1t
was considered possible, however, that
EXPULSION might also include refusal To.
permit the diplomats to communicate
with their governments.
Minister Morris at Stockholm reported
that two trains from Petrograd had ar
rived there, one bringing the expelled
Rumanian legation. He also reported
the capture of Torneo by the White
Guards.
IL was assumed that the ministers in
regarding the reported expul
sion of diplomats from Petrograd was
received from passengers on those trains
Recently Ambassador Francis received
threats from a group Of anarchists TO
hold him responsible for the safety OF
Alexander Berkman and Emma Gold
man, sentenced to prison for conspiring
against the draft law. There appeared to
be no reason for believing that the Petro-
grad government was party to the
threat. Recently the foreign office re-
used to permit diplomats TO draw upon
unds in Petrograd banks

AVIATION OFFICERS WANTED.
Both for Flying and Notifying Sections
of the Corps.

A large number of men of proper type
are wanted at once for service in the
aviation section of the signal corps both
as flying and Notifying officers. Can
didates for. flyers are acceptable between
the ages of 10 and 30, but men over
30 may be accepted if of pronounced
athletic attainments and in good physi-
cal condition. A college or high school
education or its equivalent is required,
although not absolutely essential, pro-
viding other qualifications make the
candidate an exceptionally desirable
one. Not only must the applicant be
mentally alert, quick witted. and intel
ligent, but his physical qualifications
must be such that he can pass a rigid
examination. Perfect eyesight and hear
ing are absolutely essential.
In the Notifying end of the aviation
section, engineer officers are in a great
demand. and the fact that this branch
of service is open to men of draft age,
makes it a particularly desirable one
Candidates need not necessarily be grad
uate engineers; although men who have
had technical training along electrical or
mechanical lines are obviously better
fitted to hold such commissions. Men
however, with executive ability and ma
chine shop experience. who are capable
of acquiring the necessary knowledge
during a seven weeks training course are
acceptable.
The Notifying branch of this service
also has need of highly qualified men TO
fiji the position Of adiutant and supply
officer. Such men. however. must be
over the draft age and not over 80 years
Candidates for commissions upon re-
porting TO the various ground schools
are enrolled as cadets. with pay OF SlOO

cents per day for rations.

which will be concluded to-day by At
torney John J. Healy, who will close for
Mr.. Veeder
The governments side of the contro.
versy was presented by United States
District Attorney Charles F. Clyne, who
denied every legal objection made to the
validity of the search and warrant by
the counsel for Needer and contended that
the search and seizure section of the
federal espionage law under which the
writ was issued, was constitutional in all
its provisions.
While Attorney Healy was arguing,
the case was interrupted by physicians
from the board of health, armed with
vaccine points. The astonished assem-
blage was informed that smallpox pa

weeks ago and that all present. unless

team added another game to its string
of victories at the Spaulding gymnasium
last night when they defeated the Wat
erbury high school team by the score of
IS to 33. The Waterbury team is one
of the newcomers into the state inter
scholastic league and the teams initial
appearance in this city made a good
impression. Although the Spaulding
team was in the lead at the end of the
first period by the score of 2S to 10,
the Waterbury quintet came back strong
and almost succeeded in tieing the score;
but the local team was made up wholly
of second string players during the sec

Spaulding team outclassed its opponents
in every department of the game, but
the latter team sprung something of a
surprise in the second period by letting
loose q good exhibition of passing and
team work.
For the winners Mann played his usual
strong game, he caging l2 baskets from
the floor. while his teammate, Capt
Geals, followed him with four to his
credit, Morse getting two and Lyon one
to their credit. For the losers Clarici,
the Waterbury forward, was the star,
caging eight baskets and springing sur
prise after surprise with his dazzling
rapidity in passing and shooting, al
