ODD FELLOWS IN
 CONVENTION AT
 WATERBURY CITY
Necessity of Supporting Prosecution of War
 Strongly Emphasized.

waterbury, Conn.,, May 15.---The ne- cesstty of supporting the government In every way in the prosecution of the war was emphasized by Grand Master George M. Chapman in his report to the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, here today. He spoke of the work which the. order had done in frrthering the food con servation program of the government and also said that up to January of the present year 51 lodges in this state had taken an aggregate of $44,0O0 in Liberty Bonds. Reports on sub scriptfons to the third loan he said had not yet been received, but the in- dtcations were that the response had been generous as it had in the buy ing of thrift stamps and war savings certificates. The order had furnished 200 men for the country's service so far.
 Among his recommendations was one that an assessment of one dollar be laid on the membership for the year July i, 1918, to July 1, 1919, to be paid January on the basis of mem bership on July 1, 1918, and on July 1, 1919, on the basis of membership on January 1 of that year, the fund to be used to pay sick benefits as well as dues. The previous assessment of 25 cents per capita which had been laid only to pay dues, he said had been all paid in.
 A considerable gain in membership in the lodges and Rebekah lodges had been shown during the year he said and a generally satisfactory condition of the order prevails in this jurisdic- tion.
 On January of the present year the total membership, in the state, according to the report of the grand secretary, William S. Hutchison of New Haven, was 25,851, a net gain for the year of 569. The membership of the Rebekah lodges was $500, g. net gain of 197.
 The total assets on January 1 were $1, ,U16, ,6SS.79; invested funds, $SS5, ,S21.- "A; invested in regalia and other equipment, $1S0, ,S77.55; net gain in as sets for the year, $46,130.27. Total funds in the Rebekah lodges amount ed to $41,742.O2, with a net loss of $1,- 191.57-
 Total receipts for the Soldiers and Sailors fund were $6, ,421.25.
 The report of Grand Treasurer Sid ney w. Challenger of Bridgeport, showed grand lodge receipts for the year of s10, ,SSO.13 and expenditures of $7, ,4SS.99, leaving a balance of 3,491 IA.

OF
 CONN. SOLDIERS
 OPEN AT DEvENS

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, May 15. The 3O4th Regiment of infantry left camp yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock for Still River, where they will re- main encamped until next Saturday. The camping site is about eight miles from this cantonment. This is the second time that this regiment has undertaken a hike and camping out trip, they being the first regiment in camp to leave here as a unit on such work. Their first trip was made about two weeks ago and the men encamped at the same place. On the last trip, however, the regiment only remained away from camp. for three days. This time they will be gone five days.
 This regiment, "Connecticut's Own, " | is getting right down to business more than any other organization in camp Yesterday morning the infantry field tests which were being held here were brought to a. close. The third bat talion of the 304th was one of the or
 ganizations which went through the tests Without waste of time tmme- diately after the ending of the tests the regiment left on it's hiking trip | Other regiments are probably waiting to recover from the effects of these | tests.
