 Gas Explosion. At Baltic on Saturday morning there was a gas explosion in the mill of the A. and w.

LONERGAN REGISTERS
John Q. TiIson Regrets He Is Past Ago At Which He Could Take Up Gun For U. s.
Special to the Herald.)

Washington, Sept. 14.-Represen- tative Lonergan of Hartford was the only member of the Connecticut con- gressional delegation who was lucky Enough to register. Representative Tilson said that he would gladly re- cover the past several years of his life that would bring him within the draft age, in order to be able to reg ister.
 Representative Glynn is reported to have returned to Connecticut for a short trip.
 Conditions are so disturbed in Mex leo that the state department refuses to issue passports to American women 'Eo travel to that country. This fact de- veloped today when pr. John E. Ball. ey of Middletown, Conn.,, sought pass ports for himself and wife to go to Tuxpam, Mexico, where he has bus mess that calls him for several months. pr. Bailey took the matter up through Representative Tilson.
 The latter was informed at the State department that it has a rule against passports for women to Mexico and that it could not make an exception to the rule in the case of Mrs. Bailey It is understood, however, that Dr. Bailey will obtain his passport and will himself go to Tuxpam.
 Another matter of special interest v~to Connecticut is believed to be the understanding that this government is to raise third forestry regiment. Lieut.. Col. H. C. Bowlby of the Amer ican EXpeditionary forces has arrived In Washington to take charge of ar engagements for the new regiment, in which he desires to enlist 10000 prac- tical lumbermen, woodsmen and for esters. .....
 Uncle Sam has already two for estry regiments lover there," one of them called the 20th forestry engi- neers, containing 10000 men and be- ing the largest regiment in any army In the world.

four days, wondering when we would be sent up. We made several trips for souvenirs over the battlefield and some of the boys obtained some pretty de- cent remembrances. The battle ground surprised me, though, for from all 1 had read I expected to see men lying all over it, but I was agreeably dis
 appointed. Over about two square miles I saw only about half a dozen men, but there was certainly plenty of German French anld American equip ment scattered all over the field. The Germans left their helmets, ammuni- ton and personal equipment on the ground so that they could make better time, and so did the French and Tanks Our boys must have discarded everything but their rifles, bayonetS and bandOlierS to try and catch up with the Huns. I was talking to some of them later and they told me they went most of that day without sighting single Jerry. The barrage drove them out of their positions and kept down our casualties
 Barragc Sweeps Everything.
 For two nights while We were rest ing on that road we worked at trenches During the day we slept in
 
 gutter. One night we were where we could see the trenchs and we could see the flares go up and the shells burst ing around When the Darrage was started in the morning it was q won derful and terrible sight don see how anyone could live through it. You would see an explosion that would seem to roll hundred yards over the trenches. It must have been terrible. We finally moved up front after the infantry and got in front of the obser- vation balloons. There we worked on roads for a couple of days. While out working we saw five of Jerry's planes come over. They were the only ones we saw in a bunch all the time we were up there. The Allies certainly hold the air all right. One of those planes came for the American observation balloons He came down straight as an arrow. One of the balloonists waited until the plane was almost on top of him be- fore he jumped out with his parachute. The German circled around, came back and then shot at the observer. That was rather a rotten trick in my esti- mation. That same night we counted about 60 Allied planes returning from work behind the German lines. They must have raised cain back there.

conveyed under guard to the

Joint Assessment.

Friday evening County Asses
sor Vitcor J. Wager returned
from the eastern part of the
county, where he had been in
conference with County Asses
sor Ed Hughes of Cochise coun-
ty over the assessment of cattle
upon the Babacomari land grant,
which is embraced within both
counties, with a large herd of
cattle grazing upon it. The OBJ
ject of the conference was to get
the assessed pro rata between
the two counties, according to
the acreage Of the grant in each.
The grant embraces about 49,
600 acres of land, of which about
1900 acres are in Cochise and
about 10000 in Santa Cruz. TAX
ing as proper the usual rule of
cattlemen to estimate that one
head of stock to every 16 acres
there was reached an enumera-
ton for assessment of about
1000 head in Santa Cruz coun-
ty, and so or 60 more in Cochise,
and the lists were made accord
ingly.
Mr.. Wager reported the coun-
try looking finely. The rains
and SHOWS that have fallen this
winter have soaked the ground
finely, starting the young grass
on the ranges and plows Oh the
farms. Every farmer is plow-
ing, and the acreage that will be
planted will exceed any former
season. The outlook is good for
large crops.
