Mercer, commanding the Connecticut army recruiting district Latest or ders call for the speedy recruiting of the body, which was originally intend ed to contain 25,000 men who had seen service in the Spanish American war, the Philippine insurrectiQn, the army or navy or National Guard and who were over the age limit set for the draft.
 THhe new direction says that the guard will be used' to enforce the Presidents alien proclamation, and that enlistments will be made for ser vice in the United States for the per iod of the war.
 The organization calls for compa- nies of 150 men each, grouped in bat talions and under direction of depart ment commanders and chief of bu- reau militia affairs. Both the Quar- termasteT Corps and the Ordnance Department have been told to speed up the equipment of the guard. All recruiting stations will examine appli- cants, who will be sent to Charles town, Mass, for their equipment. Duty will be at or near the homes of the recruits.
 Daily applicants are accepted at the New Haven, New London, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury recruiting station for the Regular army, the Ma tional Guard and the National army. At present every branch is open to volunteers. Only men under and over the draft age are acceptable.

GERMANS MUST REGISTER WEEK
 OF FEBRUARY 4

The week of February 4, has been set aside for the purpose of registering unnaturalized Germans. These peo- pie vii get a great deal more cour- teous treatment than if they were Americans living in Germany.
 In the latter case they would be hustled around on the theory that they were guilty of being spies until they proved themselves innocent. In this country the very tolerant and good natured officials will be apt to accept their statements utnil ground for suspicion is suggested.
 The number of loyal German Americans is larger than many peo- may think. You can see that by the way in which the pro-German poli- ticians have altered their tone Of late. They evidently thought they could make votes by opposing the American war policy. But when they got next to their, constituents, they found that ecen the majority of those of German descent were against them. The posi- lively disloyal element is not large numerically, though it is exceedingly active and terribly interruptions and dangerous.
 This registration of enemy aliens is a thing that 1as s=a%-eG r.v.-- too soon. It should have begun soon after the war started when we set out 70 te neutral. At that time it was evt dent that many of our residents would net observe this neutrality. While ho 4I-xri fO olI sides fairly, they were working day and night for Germany.
 This registration should be abso- lUtely thorough. No alien enemy should be permitted to slip through The very many who are loyal and friendly to their new home will not be interfered with in any way. As to the others, we want their number.

that their real good rests in their all legiance to the Allied cause. But show them we must. Mere words can do no good.
 'As it is, we are not doing this. We repress all freedom of speech; we have no Inter-Allied Parliament, but we do have secret treaties, of which even educated men like ourselves know nothing of until we read of them in the morning papers. We blind ourselves to the forces of the day, because we are concentrating on the battlefront, little realizing that no amoun4 of military victory will avail, if the fabric of loyalty falls away beneath us, while our enemies gain new allies for themselves in the tanks of our former friends"

THIRTY-LAMP HUT
 BRINGS CHEER AND WARMTH TO TROOPS

Paris, Jan. 26.-How Professor John c. Granbery, of Southwestern University, Texas, obtained coaf-on to heat his Y. M. c. A. hut in France sounds like a Mark Twain yarn. With no wood available, he hit upon the plan of lighting a number of lamps to heat his hut, but had no kerosene, and though he was entitled to it, no card for obtaining it at the village supply station, but he managed to solve the problem.
 Here is the story as told by Chaun- cey P. Hubert, the writer: Back in America, Y. M. c. A. Sec retary John c. Granbery is professor ] of economics and sociology in South western University, Georgetown, Tex ss. Here he is the man of action. When a bad storm flooded his hut he shouldered his pick and with the fa- tigue squad that had been detailed did his share, though it was not ex- Iected of him.
 Cant get any wood" Granbery ex- plained when he saw me look at the cold stove. "They are very short in the village and the trains are not bringing any more. That is the req son for the thirty lamps. They act
 like small stoves.
 'I had a funny time getting kero-
 sene. You see, they only give it out
 ill the village on the presentation of
 a petrol card. I didn't have one, and couldn't get one at once, so I asked
 the man if he wouldn't sell me an
 empty petrol drum. He couldn't see the harm in that and gave the large
 one you're sitting on, first turning it
 over to see that I was not getting
 away with a few illegal drops. I put
 the can on my old team the next day
 and drove up to K. That's eight
 miles away and the nearest big cen-
 ter. When I presented my can tha
 man filled it without question and
 made him give it to me at the mili-
 tary rate, too. The village people won
 dered where I got the oil, and the of
 ficers came around to borrow some r for the breakfast lamps and oil
 stoves'
 Just then the men began to strag- gle in from supper.
 Prof. Granbery tore open a pack age of goods and sold twenty articles } to a tall soldier. I protested at the amount he was selling to one man , "In most huts they limit a mans l purchases owing to a shortage in sup plies" I said. Granbery smiled ant scratched the bald spot on his head 7 Well, you see, it is a bit different 5 in this case. That man is a corpora - billetted in, a barn loft where thirty
 men sleep. They gave him then l money and he buys their stuff fol them.
 : Fifteen of them never came back from their ten days at the front. Int l ether fifteen are feeling bit low l and I guess the extra supplies ant = comforts won't hurt them any" l sub 3 sided.
 My wife" he continued, ''saV s those boys go through her station a , X- a few hours after they lef y here for the front. She and a To y more Y. NJ. c. A. people served then y hot coffee and sandwiches before the! e got on the train.
 ] One morning a few days after e returned to Paris, Granbery found { . sturdy little oil stove in his mail.
