WHEELER URGES GENEROUS
 GIvINC TO FUND
Explains Need of Support of the Czecho- -Slovak Army
 Drive in This City.

'"The Czecho- -Slovak Drive" said Justice Wheeler of the War Bureau, 'Is receiving moderate but not all that it is entitled to. The weather has been unfavorable, many of the larger contributors have been absent and the workers have not been as numerous as in some of the drives, and no doubt some have overlooked | the importance of supporting this fund. Those who have not as yet subscribed or who have not been seen | by the solicitors should at once send | in their check to the Czecho-Slovak 1 fund committee at The Stratf1eld.
 "The march of the Czecho- -Slovak- the death or victory battalion-every man with a price on his head and certain to be executed if captured by 1 Austria, is one of the most thrilling and dramatic incidents of this war. Promised by Trotsky and Lenine that l they might go to V1adisvostok with their arms enroute for France to fight with the Allies they were in a large part disarmed and their march
 stopped. But they went on with
 such arms as they could get. They
 literally fought their way against Ger | mans, Austrians, and the Bolsheviki
 and when the first 14,000 entered | Vladivostok they were worn and spent
 but with spirit undaunted. It is this force of resolute men who have stay
 ed the hand of Trotsky and Lenine,
 the paid agents of Germany. It is
 this force of Slavs and that for which | they stand which have proved the
 ral1ying point in Russia for the Rus
 sian people. Backed by the Allies
 they will redeem Russia and if this
 war continues we shall have finally
 an Eastern front. This front will be
 under the unified command of the AL
 lies. It will again make Russia 8
 formidable ally. And Germany will
 have to defend herself on the East
 and it will prevent Germany recruit
 ing her waning man-power from Rus sia or using Russian men to do hel , menial work. This force and the sen timent it will awaken will help or the day when all of Russia whicf f Germany has seized, all of Ukraine , Poland and of Rumania must be give1 ) up and these countries together Witl this new Czecho-Slovak nation vii f stand as sentinels guarding the East

WILL RE-EXAMINE
 REJECTED MEN

Bridgeport will entrain POT men for Camp Greenleaf in the October calls, and special service men. This city is again called upon for more men than any other city in the state, New Haven sending 137, and, Hartford 1G9.
 Serial numbers for registrants will be assigned for the last time today, this being the last date allowed by Provost Marshal Crowder for the tardy arrival of cards.
 The rejection of a draftee at a camp will not necessarily mean that he will not be liable to military ser- vice. He will be again examined on his return by local medical boards and in case of other than physical defects final decision will be made by the adjutant-general.

The instructor, MT. Weaie, has for the past fifteen years been connected with the Lackawanna Steel Co.,, the Lackawanna Coal Mines & the Ten nessee Coal Iron & Railroad Co.'S big steel corporation. In all of these con- cerps he achieved remarkable success and was very highly esteemed.
 During the past three years MT. Weale has been engaged by the Win chester Repeating Arms Go. of New Haven in the capacity of superintend- ent of accounts. During this time he has been very fortunate in the en- tovment of a wide and varied exper- fence on account of the many new conditions which arose as a result of the war contracts with the foreign governments of Great Britain, France and Russia and the constantly chang ing conditions which are now arising as result of the varied contracts en- tered into with our government for the supply of arms and munitions.

 MT. Weale Is one who believes that the profession of accountancy Is now
 coming into its own, especially in view of the influences the government is exerting over the domestic and in- dustrial affairs Of this country. He believes that at no time in this coun- try's history has the young account | ant been given the opportunity for l recognition that he now enjoys. Feel
 ing as he does, he is bending his best
 efforts to develop those whose ann

 hope for complete success as a busi-
 ness executive unless he has mastered
 the fundamental principles of &C.,

As | have said before, the greatest

The farmers business, however, is
linked up with that of the manufac-

The American merchant marine

CLEAN THRESHING SAVES
100000 BUSHELS

Cleaner harvesting and threshing
in the United States have come to
stay. according to reports received by
the T. s. Food Administrator from
threshermen. farmers and local rep
resentatiyes in grain growing states
The so-called blanket test" has
shown thousands of grain producers
how to determine when a threshing
machine is operating properly, and
has been especially impressive. Other
methods of farm conservation have
resulted in further large savings of
marketable grain.
OF 33 grain states where efforts
toward cleaner threshing were cen
tered, two-thirds have already re-
ported an aggregate saving of g.
600, 900 bushels of wheat. Many of
the other states, although not pre-
pared to make estimates, reported
greatly reduced harvest losses In
addition to wheat, at which the clean
threshing campaign was especially
aimed, there have been correspond
ing savings of other grains which are
harvested and threshed in much the
with the same machinery. An aver
age Of several thousand tests showed
that raking shock rows saved about
one bushel of grain per acre. In the
past this operation has been an in
frequent practice.
Threshing IS still progressing in
some Of the northern states, and
final returns are expected to sV I'll
the savings already reported. But
the saving of l6 900, 900 bushels al
ready reported represents wheat car
goes of of 10000 bushels each for
500 food ships.
To complete the seasons work in
thorough manner, owners of
threshing machines, binders and all
grain handling equipment are now
asked to put them in readiness for
next season. Emphasis is placed on
ordering repair parts at once. I'm
plement factories have informed the
Food Administration of heavy de-
mands for raw material, shortage OF
labor in the plants, and pressing war
contracts An additional ADVANTAGE
in ordering repairs and extra ma
chinery parts this fall is the exact
knowledge of what is needed. Next
spring, some of the repairs needed
may be overlooked, with consequent
danger of mishap and delay when
every hour will count heavily.

The American army in France is a reading army, according to Alfred M. Brace supervisor of journalism at the State University of South Dakota, in an article on Libraries for Ameri- cans in France
 Rudyard Kipling is the most popu- lar writer among the eXpeditiOnary forces. Robert w. Service is second. H. G. Wells is third. with Robert Louis Stevenson a close fourth. A tally of the call for special books has been kept by workers in the Y M. c. A. libraries and this statement is based on their figures.
 Though the great call is for fiction, "highbrow" xooks are also in great demand. Works on French history and life and technical books are specially sought after. In writing of these libraries MT. Brace says:
 "The book stores of France and England are being ransaCked to sup ply the American soldiers in France with reading material for the winter. Twenty thousand bolks of fiction and general interest have recently been purchased in England by the Ameri- can Y. M. C. A. to help meet the per Sstcnt demand from the soldiers at

ROLLER OFFERS EXPLANATION.
Medico- GrappIer Says There Are No
 New Holds in Wrestling.

Regarding the head lock that Strangler Lewis has been using re gently, Dr. B. F. Roller has the fol- lowing to say; There are no new holds in wrestling. The head hold that Lewis has been using is not new. Joe Stecher did not invent the scissors, nor vas the toe hold new with Gotch. A man simply appears upon the horizon who is physically able to use some particu- lar hold better than all others. The fans think he has a new hold be- cause he uses it all the time It is not so. Every hold in wrestling has been known for hundreds of years. The next generation will see the same holds bob up again under new names"
 Roller, incidentally, says he con- siders Lewis the best of the present day wrestlers.

Working on the mat in the Y. M. Jack Raymond are fast rounding into shape for the wrestling bouts in Turner hall Saturday evening. Healing that he is up against a tough opponent, NentreS has settled down to hard work, and is hopeful that he will be able to turn the tables on Champion Peterson, his conqueror, in the coming bout. Word from the training camp of the Norwegian title holder, is to the effect that he is in fine condition and is about down to Ventres' weight. As the bout is to a finish, two sout of three falls, with all holds permitted, with the exception of the strangle, wrestling fans can bring their knitting and be assured of d long evening. Nothing has been heard from the mana cement regard ing the selection of d referee yet.
 Pat Mccarthy of New Haven will encounter a tartar in sam Chowte of Hartford in the second preliminary of the evening. These boys clashed on the evening of the VentreS- Benja- min bout several months ago, and after thirty minutes of fast work, the bout was called a draw, neither man being able to prove his superiority. Mccarthy has since worked at two bouts in this city, winning from Alex George and defeating Kid" Benja min with ridiculous ease.
