MEN WHO CAME BACK
EXPERIENCE AT NEW cAAPELLE.
By Lieut.. H. E. Russell, Argyle & Sutherland IHighlanderS British Expeditionary Forces

By Lieut. II. E. Russell,
 Argyle & Sutherland fHighlanders.
 British Expeditionary Forces.
 [Lient Russell ran away from his half completed college course in Cam bridge and joined the British E1pedi tionary forces. Later he entered the British Flying Corps for two years. He has just returned from period of instructional duty at Camp Bor- den, Canada, and in Texas with the U. S. Army. He says: The Ameri- cans will make the best flyers in the world. They take to it like ducks to water. They are built for it."1
 Flying is a soft job compared with my experience at New Chappelle. That was my first attack. we planned it as an attack, but it was the Germans who attacked. It was my first experience with the German gas. I was in two battles after this, but New Chappelle stands out in my mind as the worst experience I ever went through.
 After a march of twelve or fifteen miles through French villages in rain and sleet we reached the trenches, carrying all our worldly possessions on our backs, rations for three days {bully beef, bread, tea and sugar in little packages). We were wet to the skin. We were about ten hours in the trenches; trenches half dug, full of water and rats Then we were told to set our watches and expect to make the attack the next morning, abous quarter to six-as recall it.
 All of sudden the barrage lifted and we were given the command-and over we went 10 make the attack. The artillery was going like the very devil, playing old Harry all around us. We went only few paces over the top. The Germans let off the gas over different parts of the line Some of our men in the first line went down under it, others turned back. I was in the second line. We saw volumes of dark smoke. Clouds

THE u-soAr RAID.

The descent of a fleet of German submarines upon American shipping along the Atlantic coast comes With q suddenness which is distressing, yet it is only a verif1cation of the reports which have been received in the past few days to the effect that the U- boats were operating in American wa ters. although there had been dis position to doubt such fact.
 The raid therefore comes in the na- ture of a surprise, although it is not to be supposed that the naval author ities have not been actively engaged in taking measures to minimize such operations. Ever since this country entered the war it has been realized that our long coastline furnished an excellent chance for just such attacks upon shipping and the situation to- day is much the same as it was dur ing the few days that the U-53 was operating ott off Nantucket, although there are reasons to believe that there is more than one underwater boat al work now and that they are of a siz.s which will permit them to carry suffi- GlCIIL SllppIlSo CO IllolL ItIACoo oE4NOh Oll they will continue to infest the ship ping lanes with the object of causing as much destruction to shipping as possible.
 This means that American destroy CTS and chasers must be put into the fight against this menace on this side of the Atlantic as well as about Great Britain and that no steps can be Jeff untaken to search the U-boats ou either on the high seas or at any base which they may have established on this side of the water. It likewise means that the navy must be called upon for greater service than it ha! been in the past. It has definite worl before it now that it has been estab lished that the submersibles are witt us

Congressman Tiison of Connecticut literally brought the house to it's feet" when he demonstrated the use of the Wales hand grenade to the members in a war far more realistic than they had anticipated. It is Colonel Tilson who is always called upon to explain matters pertaining to munitions, while such bills are under discussion, and just before the vote was taken on the army appropriation bill he stepped down in front of the speakers desk and presented facts about the differ ent grenades in use in France, ex- hibitins specimens of each as he talk ed. Now it seems that the detonater of the Wales grenade is especially powerful and the colonel had prepared one of the grenades in such a way that if he dropped it against any hard sub- stance it would explode without pes- sible harm, but with tremendous noise. Describing the intricacies of the vari- eus grenades, he at last reached the Wales and spoke most enthusiastically of it's merits. "We hope it is superior l to anything that has been developed | It has time fuse arrangement and also can be made to explode when ii strikes a hard object. This one ex- plodes at just the right time This 1 is called armed, and if there were ar explosive charge in the grenade ii would explode when it strikes any thing" Whereupon Colonel Tilsor threw the grenade into an empty bas. ket at his feet and the detonater did its duty nobly and exploded with a tre. mendous report which brought every member of the house to his feet Newspapermen rushed to the front TOW of the press gallery, and the wholt l house was in an uproar of laughtei
 and applause at the very practica
 demonstration. And the presiding of f1cer pounded his gavel and shoutet

Decision Of Secretary of War Await ed on Taking of Soldier Vote-con- sressman Tilson Demonstrates Hand Grenade-Two Big Questions Before consress-standardiation Of Screw Threads,

Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Especial to The Bulietin.)
 Washington D. Ck June s--A1 though Secretary of War Baker has mae no specified reference to the taking of the Connecticut soldier vote in France, it seems probable that it may be done with war department sanction The war department drowned down all suggestions of sending over state commissions to take the vote but the mail service system as provided for by the Con- necticut legislature apparently have few if any objectionable features. The war department has announced recently that it will consider any method which is practicable and can be carried out without interference to existing military conditions. See retary Baker recently gave out a new statement regarding the taking of sol dier votes both in camps and in France. The matter had been sub mitted to him by states which had provided that ths vote be taken by commissions and by mail, the latter including Connecticut and Mississ- ippi. Previous decisions of the sec retary indicated that the vote in United States camps could be taken much along the methods used at reg uIar polling plaeeSy with the caSEO1H- ary voting booths and other facili- ties in general use, but that the sol dier vote abroad could not be taken as it would interfere with military duties. Now, however, the secretary states that the war department will lend it's aid in the work of taking the vote in the camps in the United States but will not hold itself re- sponsible in collecting. taking dr for warding the votes. If it is possible to work out a plan by which we can facilitate the states getting their sol | dier vote we will do so. If some states provide plans which are prac- ticable and others .impracticable we shall not make. states with practica- plans suffer. We shall try to work l out plan which will also apply tc the American expeditionary force abroad" The adiutant general o1 | Connecticut was in Washington no' 1 long ago and took up the matter witt | the war department, and was mucf encouraged over the outlook although no definite decision has yet been an. nounced by the secretary of war.

The two big questions which com mand practically the entire attention
 of congress are the new revenue bill and providing for the expeditionary force abroad. Coupled with the for mer is the question of recess some time during the summer to give the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate uninterrupted time to frame the bill which the president says must pass before final adjourn ment. Senator Simmons, chairman of l the finance committee and floor leader Claud Kitchen chairman of the ways ] and means committee both express | strong conviction that the committees could turn out q better bill and in l less time if they were left unhamper l ed by entire freedom from other con- i gressienal duties which cannot be l put aside when congress is in active | session. Mir. Kitchen said last
 week that the interruptions of voting on other bills, answering roll calls,
 attending to routine matter of con- i gross and the presence of the great
 number of persons who are in the
 city and demand attention from their
 members of congress during a session | is serious draw back to the proper | preparation of a matter of such tre- mendols importance as the revenue Dill which will provide for the many billions of dollars which this govern ment must expend in 1919 I've ought to be granted time for the rev enue bill," said MT. Kitchin, "and I think we should gain time and turn out a better bill if congress takes a recess and leaves only the two com nittees at work who are responsible for framing the bill" Such a move
 would give a much needed respite to all other members of congress and the chances are that some sort of a plan to that end may yet be worked out
 There would be practically nothing for the 800 senators and members to
 do here while the others drew a rev
 enue bill. Coupled with the proposed recess, the military affairs sub-corfl
 n1ittees and others engaged in in-
 vestigations would of course, keep al
 their work here if it was deemed ad
 visable. There is no disposition or
 the part of congress to claim a va cation. even though this week the official down town station of the
 United states weather bureau regis l tered 104 degrees in the shade. but
 they are not over anxious to sta5
 here and swelter if they are moi needed till the bill is ready to 20 be- fore congress for debate and a fna vote.
