TRAINED
 MEN FOR THE TANKS
All Entering From Civilian occupa
 tions Go in as Privates.

In answer to many inquiries from all parts of the state, Major W. A. Mercer, commanding Connecticut Re- crlliting district, makes the following statement in regard to the Tank corps: All applicants for this branch
 of the service must present a letter of authority from the director of Tank corps, War Department, Washington, D. C., requesting their enlistment. The Tank corps concentration camp is To- cated at Gettysburg, Pa, where short period of preliminary training is given prior to overseas service The Tank corps, being strictly a motoriz-
 ed fighting unit, requires a personnel largely composed of artisans or tech
 nically trained men, supported by a
 large number of soldiers. Skilled men entering this service are given occu- pational .classifications, which are carefully considered in the assign ment to active duty. All who enter the Tank corps from civil occupation must do so in the grade of privates. Early promotion to the highest non commissioned grade is open tothose who can qualify therefrom. From the non- commissioned personnel a con- siderable number of appointments as second lieutenants will be made. No corps from civil life. The following skilled workmen are especially need ed in this service: Tractor drivers, heavy auto truck drivers, auto en- zine mechanics, machine gun me chanics, oxy-aeetylene weIders, black smiths, wireless buzzer opera tors, cooks and gunners. The Tank corps requires high degree of physical fit ness and mental alertness, men eapa-
 ble of independent thought and action.

JOHNNY RIEGER IS, PHYSICALLY UNFIT
For Military service-Rejeeted For
 That Reason at Camp (pevens.

John A. Rieger is back at his home in Waterford. He has been rejected from military service by reason of being found physically disqualified. The Rieger affair caused considerable interest in this section, for Rieger, well known young man of Waterford, is said to have hoasted that he would not respond to the draft. When the time came for him to report to the Eleventh Division draft board to go to Camp Devens last October, he did not appear, but instead, he left town and was not located until recently, When he was located he was in this vicinity and was wearing a navy uni form. He was taken into custody by the New London police and delivered to Marion R. Davis, clerk of the Eleventh Division lbard, who receiv- ed word oyer the telephone from Gen. George M. Cole to turn him over to the military authorities. He was taken to Fort H. G. Wright and on the same day he was returned to the State Pier and the naval authorities had him in charge for couple of weeks, during which time they sent word to Washington for a decision as
 to what should be done with him. | This decision was that he should be
 sent back to the military authorities. and he was accordingly taken to
 Camp Devens. It was generally ex peeted that he would be sumGnarily kdealt with by the military authorities
 or the naval authorities, but he. has
 been sent back home, and is out ot l the service. The papers on file wtf
 the Eleventh board in connection
 with Rieger read: Rejected, June 9th, 1918, physically disdua1ifed'
 The order is signed by H. R. Berry

TRACTOR SHOWS ITS
 USE ON FARM WORK
Handles Typical Holland County Sit
 uation in Fine Shape.

The demonstration of the Fordson tractor which was run off by a Prov idence concern on the farm of Dr. Beach in Vernon, proved complete success. The piece selected for the demonstration last Saturday was old sawed land, side hill in practically ev- cry direction, and was selected as be- ing typical of Holland county condi- tions There was an occasional rock in the field and some roots which bother a blow somewhat, but which the little tractor took out without any difficulty whatever. The demonstra- tion was started on schedule time by MT. Manchester. representing the tractor company, and Mr. Ives at the wheel with his assistants demonstrat- ed that they knew everything and ev- cry part of the machine which they were handling. People were present from not only Holland county but Hartford and other counties were we'll represented, and everybody stated that they were very much pleased with the work done, and it was their opinion that the tractor was able to handle in a very satisfactory manner the general farm work of this and other counties of the state. The manager of the Dr. Beach farm stated at the end of the demonstration that. he had a pair of horses for sale as it was his intention to purchase one of these tractors immediately. An opportunity was also given before the close of the demonstration for people to ask any questions they desired and much in- terest was shown by those present Several wished to know if it was pos sible to use the tractor for stationary
 work and it was shown that a pull.
 ley could be placed on the side of the
 tractor and operated from the engine clutch so that a belt could be run tc

sPANtsH. WAR VETERANS
 FOURTH OF JULY FUND
To Be Sent to connecticut-Boys Over
 There-campaian Here.

Benjamin F. Skinner, commander of R. s. Grfswoid No 16 camp, United Spanish War Veterans, has been ap pointed local chairman of the Persh- ing Fourth of July Fund, which is being raised throughout the state as a holiday gift to the Connecticut men in France. Plans for conducting the locah campaign are nearing comple- tion and from June 10th to June 10th the people of Norwich and vicinity will have ample opportunity to con- tribute.
 The originality and worth of the scheme. strongly appealed to hesitate commanders of the United Spanish War Veterans. at a meeting held June in Hartford. Plans for state wide campaign were authorized at that time and a state central committee ap- pointed. It will be the duty of the local camp to raise the quota assign ed it for this district As each camp has pledged itself to go lover the top there will be strenuous activity all along the line until the closing hour of the campaign.
 The machinery of organization, To- cally, will be the appointment of a tien of teams to canvass adjacent territory for subscriptions.
 It is the ambition of the veterans of '98 to raise at least $10.000, for the Fourth of July fund. That would mean approximately only $2 apiece for each one of our brave boys lover there" Emphasis IS being placed on the fact that every person who gives s2 to the fund is giving the share ot the fund that will be received by some one soldier friend in France. One of the outstanding reasons for raising the holiday fund is that the men of the ExpeditioDary Force are now denied packages from home. This practice of the post office department
 may be continued for the rest of the war in the interests of ocean trans pcrtation and victory. By sending z | large sum of money as a gift to the I boys they can spend the money as 1 they prefer, each Connecticut com pany voting on how they wish to dis. pose of their share.
 | The holiday remembrance will show
 the men in France that they are no forgotten as their thoughts turn bacl
 more than ever to their beloved coun
 try and the home folks on Independ
 ence Day. Approval has been givel
 the campaign by the Connection State Council of Defense.
