morning when a masked man walked

hand and an automatic revolver in

by Mrs. Espagna before he had OPP

The scintillating diamond worn In

the object coveted by the intruder.
Through all the eommotion that fol-

as little bird with its head tucked

DEFENSE COUNCIL ACTS
IN SAFETY MEASURE

The action OF the council OF de-
tense in requiring that hereafter any
one wishing TO purchase fire arms
and ammunition must first get per-
NIT from the county sheriff, is a
move In the interests of public safe
ty. Any person with legitimate
use for such things can get them.
but there seems no reason whatever
why fire arms should be sold indis-
criminately to unknown and irres-
ponsible persons. any more than
deadly poisons should be dealt out
without let or hindrance. The coun-
Gil OF defense the past week has in
stituted the taking of a census OF all
the fire arms In the district, and 1t
seems probable that a pretty close
supervision can be had of the situa-
tlon. The resolution recently passed
by the council of defense. requiring
permit from the sheriff for the pur-
chase of fire arms and ammunition
did not apply to shot guns.

it would not protect slackers. This
statement was made during the hear
ing Of the divorce petition of Annie

charges of desertion. Counsel for
Seregano made a plea for him, but
Mrs. Seregano told the court her hus-
band had deserted her, taken their
child, and asked for exemption in New
York because of dependents. Evil
dence regarding the desertion was not
satisfactory to Judge Warner. and, he
continued the case.
Leith L. Gindling of Norwalk was
granted a divorce from Arthur W.
Gindling of the same place on charges
of cruelty. They were married Octo-

ARMY WANTS men
UP TO S. YEARS
old SAYS BAKER

Washington May 25.---Another move
toward full utilization of the coun-
try's man power was made yesterday
when Secretary Baker sent to Con-
eress the draft of a bill proposing to
raise the maximum age limit for vol
untary enlistment in the army from
40 to So years. All men over 40 so en-
listed wouh he assigned to non-com-
Blatant service.
In a letter to Speaker Clark asking
that the bill be pushed, Secretary Ba-
ker said:
EVERY man above the age of 40
years who is enlisted in non-combat-
ant branches of the service will make
available for duty with the line troops
man within the prescribed age limit
for all troops
MANY men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the var
! ious staff corps and departments may
be thus secured instead Of younger
men without such experience, and the
efficiency of the staff corps and the
departments thus will he increased"
There probably are 100000 men be-
|
thousands of them already have at
tested their desire to serve by bonn
harding the department with apphca-
tons. While the great majority of the
men in this class undoubtedly will be
Irestraoined from enlisting by family
and business ties, the number at lib
erty to join the colors is expected to
Ibe more than sufficient to meet the
purpose in view.
Staff corps positions include many
duties behind the front. Every head
quarters unit includes a number OF
places for which the older men would
be lust as well suited aus the present
occupants who, under the new plan,
would be released for line duty.
| Official estimates are that a modern
army to be maintained as an efficient
unit must have between 40 and As per
cent. of the actual strength on duty
behind the fighting zone. This means
that of the first 100000 men sent to
France 400, 900 serve along the line OF
communication, in hospitals, or at the
various headquarters and debarkation
bases.

Nearly Million
Germans Disabled

More than 100000 wounded and
sick men have been returned to the
fighting front, and $4,000 soldiers
have been discharged from the Ger
man army as unfit for further service
according to a report of the statement
made in the Reichstag by Surgeon
General Schulze as contained in the
Berliner Tageblatt of April "a, a copy
of which has been received here.
Most of the cases of sickness in the
army were due to diseases of the or
gans of digestion, presumably a result
of the quantity and quality of the
food. Diseases Of the respiratory Or
gans and the nervous system came
next in number. The Surgeon Cen
eral said the health of the army was
very favorable, and that the tendency
of the disease curve was to decline.
Surgeon General Schultze' added
that the percentage of men discharged
kfrom hospitals as fit for further SER
vice was very high, but said the num-
Der of cripples at the present time was
about $4,000. Excepting this killed.
the deaths in the army were from 1
to / Y per cent of the wounded.
