About Is men, composing the
usual Arbor day picnic association,
went to Lake Madison this forenoon
to spend the day at outdoor recrea-
ton and picnic eating. There is a
number of business men who have
formed a habit of going to the lake
for this purpose every year-except
when 1t rains. Today they provided
themselves with bacon, potatoes,
bread and such other necessities and
condiments as they required for the
proposed big feed, and checker
boards and tiddlywinks for indoor
recreation in case of rain. w. b.

kota farmers who need emergency
help may obtain relief in the recent
congressional act giving Gen. Crowd
er power to furlough men of the ma
tional army still training in the
United States, for work on farms.
Any soldier with farm experience
and in a grade below first sergeant is

an emergency measure, to be used in
case of severe labor shortage at such
times as seeding and planting.
w. c. Boardman, farm help spe-
:ialist with State college extension
division, calls attention to the pro-
vision that application may be made
ty a soldier or by a farmer needing
a man. This must be Endorsed by
the county agricultural agent or
emergency demonstration agent and
then taken to the local board for its
recommendation.
Farmers needing help should see
their county agent, who will endeav-
or to find men at reasonable wages,
or the county agent will help to
make out an application for a sol
der, who is to be paid the going
wage by the farmer employing him.
Where there is no county agent, APP
plications may be made through the
farm help specialist, State college eX-
tension division, Bookings.

OF BATTLE
NOT YET APPARENT
GERMANS GAIN FOOTING AT
KENNEL HILL-WOUNDED
AMERICANS TO PARIS.

London, April ga footing has
been obtained on KENNEL hill by the
Germans in their attacks on the
northern battle front, the war office
announced today. The fighting is
still continuing in this region.
Flanders is again the scene of the
full tide of battle. Against Mont
KENNEL and the other hills forming
the protecting bastion to the plain
east and north of Ypres, the Germans
are hurting thousands of troops.
Standing on their second defense
line and with Mont KENNEL still in
their possession, the British are
fighting tenaciously.
Unable to make appreciable prog
ress against the defense of the Brit
ish, French and American troops,
south of the Somme, the enemy
swung his attack to the north. AS
on Wednesday, his first assaults on
the seven mile front from Bailleul to
KENNEL to Wytschaete were success
full and the allied troops were COM
PEELED to give up their first defense
line.
Paris, April 26.-South of the
Somme the Germans have been driv-
en- from the high ground and village
of Villers- Bretonnedx by the British

Their south they hold Vanguard. On
this front heavy artillery duels are
in progress.
Americans wounded in the fight

ARMY SIGNAL CORPS
 COURSE AT YALE
Students Seeking Commissions Take Up Posts Under New Plan

New Haven, Sept. 17.-Beginnins today, those seeking commissions as oncers In the Signal Corps of the army Will receive their training at 1ale university. This marks the com pletlon Of efforts to centralize this framing at New Haven, making DOS slole the utilization of the university faculty, which is being augmented specially for this purpose. The inter- estlng point is that the instructinc personnel will be civilian and not military, although the students en- rolled in the courses will~be in uni form, and officers, some of them later from the front, will keep in close touch with the training at New Ha ven.
 Toward the end of last week the men detailed by the war department to the Government Radio School for Signal Corps Officers began to put in an appearance. Some 100 came from College Park, Maryland where this training has been given until now, and others, to the number of nearly fifty. have been coming from other parts of the country. These men are graduates of electrical engineering courses and others specially qualified.
 There will eventually be some 300 men under training in this course, which will cover three months. As the men will come constantly, the classes will overlap, being graduated every month.
 Professor Harold V. Bozel1 of the Sheffield Scientific School Electrical Engineering faculty is director of this training at Yale, being also the direc- a t1>9i ro n bI,a,, rl1 of the service. Professor BozeH is affiliated with the Committee on Edu- cation and Special Training of the General Staff of the War Department, in whose hands the large task of or ganizing the Students Army Training Corps in several hundred American colleges has been placed.
 When the college year opens on September 26 the Signal Corps Unit of the S. A. T. C. will be started under the same auspices and with a similar but longer course. The Yale under graduate unit will cover "A months, or eight of the 13-week quarters which will now displace the old plan of student terms. Training in this course will be limited to matriculated students in engineering and others having requisite qualifications, the men detailed by the War Department to the shorter course not being un- dergradutes.
 Some of the undergraduates pursu- ing this course will be directly com- missioned from Yale, others will be sent to Camp Meade to finish off their training.
 This means that the hundreds of men who are entering the Signal

 thusiastiCally Applauded

Musicians of rare skill and sol- diers brave, who have lived, fought and suffered on he blood soaked fields of France, the French Military Band, which gave two concerts in this city last evening, came up to all expectations and furnished q musical program second to none that has ever been rendered in this city Every member of the band is one of the leading musicians of France and all are laureateS or teachers in conSerVatOrles. Also, all have been at the front, many have been gassed and wounded in actual fighting against the German enemy and several wear upon their breasts the coveted war crosses of France. Such was the dis tinguished assem- blaze of musicians who visited this city yesterday.
 Presented With Old Glory.
 The musicians were brought out to this city yesterday afternoon from Hartford, auto transporta ton being furnished by a citizens committee. After being taken through several Of the local intuition plants, the dis tinguished visitors were taken to the Shuttle Meadow club where luncheon was served, and at 6:1o clock, headed by a platoon of police, they marched from the IIllls' club, where they had been officially received by Mayor G. A. Quigley and the recep- ton committee. to Central Park. Here, in the shadow of the Soldiers monument and beneath old Glory, the Tri-colors of France and the flags of the other Allies, the visitors rendered an open air concert that was enjoyed by several thousand people, The patriotic strains of the Star Spangled Banner, and the stir ring air of the Marseillaise gave the final military touch to the concert and the whole big crowd stood head bared in rapt attention as these national anthems were played.

 Heavy Car Hits Milk Truck.
 A small Ford auto truck used by Charles Johnson of Kensington for delivering milk was practically de- molished in an auto accident on the Beach swamp Road last night as Mr Johnson was returning to his home in kenslngton. Johnson was proceeding along the road at a moderate rate of speed when the large auto, the owner of which is not known, came toward New Britain at good clip. Although each driver saw the other from some distance down the road, they proceed ed along headed directly for one an other. AS they nearcC, both drivers waited for the other to move from his course, but as neither did, the inev- itable occurred and Johnson's light machine was thrown over to one side of the road. The front wheel of the Ford was smashed up as were both lenders, the lights, the radiator and part of the engine. The damages to the larger car were slight and it was able to proceed after the accident with it's own power.
 This morning MT. Johnson stated that no action had been taken by either party as yet, although each driver claims that the other was at fault.
