WHERE BOYS FELL
Six Seriously Wounded Early in the
 Present Big Drive Against the

Six Seriously Wounded Early in the
 Present Big Drive Against the
 Huns.
 The unofficial casualty list of New Britain soldiers seriously wounded in action, which was published last eve ming in the Herald, indicates that in she early stages of the great American offensive against the Huns, New Brit ain soldiers played a conspicuous part At that stage of the offensive the American troops took over Hill 204. commanding Chateau Thierry. Tn the vicinity of Bel1eau the fighting Twas most terrific. The boys from Nigger Hill are the calibre to give the ene- my a taste of good hot fighting and when it came to pushing the heartless Huns over the Marne they were surely there. Large numbers of prisoners were taken by the American troops. Along about July p the Americans also captured Buzancy and made ready to take over Montdidier. Ii is yet too early to state with positive assurance exactly what part the New Britain sol diers took. Letters will filter through in few weeks and then the details will be better known, providing of course that the soldiers have taken.
 It is regarded as most unusual that so many men from one city should be omitted from the official casualty list of the day and still the parents and other relatives of the victims were in receipt of official notifica tiOn from the

INVENTORS TAKE STEPS
] TO MOBILIZE THEIR WORK

Active steps to mobilize the inventive
genius OF the United States to assist
the government In securing new war
devices were taken by the American
Inventors Association at its second
meeting In the rooms Of the Board of
Trade, Star building. last night.
The organization was formed a week
ago, when forty inventors who are In
Washington to offer implements to the
government held a conference to con-
slider what they could DO by united ac-
ton to aid the government.
A committee of ten was authorized
last night to draw up plans for having
the organization Incorporated. F. j..
Hemen. president, announced that ne
rooms of the American Agricultural
Association, 1925 14th street. where all
inventors now in Washington are IN
vited to call and offer suggestions for
making the work of organization more
effective.
Members of the association have con-
ferred with members Of Congress In
reference to their proposal that a paid
government board be appointed for the
sole purpose OF considering the many
war devices which have been born In
the minds of American inventors since
the war began.
Makes Favorable Impression.
1t is understood that the proposal
has made favorable impression on
several senators. Several of the in
yentors at the organization meeting ex-
pressed the belief that the heads of
various branches of the War and Navy
departments are too busy with war
activities to consider all new engines
Of war submitted.
In urging a government invention
board these men point out that one OF
the secrets of German efficiency in war
is the fact that the imperial govern
ment takes advantage of every new i'm
plement OF war. no matter how IN
genious, to make its armies more effec-
tive against the enemy.
The possibility of making the organ
ization international in scope was dis
cussed last night, but 1t was the con-
sensus Of opinion that for the present
all activities must be limited to assist
ing Uncle Sam in destroying German
autocracy.
