With him on the same charge was Kollen Benner, but as Benner could not produce his enlistment papers, his case was continued.
 The court sentenced Albans Arka- mas to the Cheshire Refornlatory af- ter he pleaded guilty to the charge of having stolen $71 in cash, and num- Der of valuable articles. He is 21 and came to this city from Wyoming, Pa, a few months ago.

REPRODUCTION OF
 MILITARY DRILLS
 IN HIGH SCHOOLS

Hartford, Sept. 6-The introduction of military training into secondary schools throughout the country is be- ing planned, according to information given out by Arthur Howe, state di- rector of the United States Boys Working Reserve, on his return from a meeting on this subject in Wash ington.
 The adoption of a standard uniform and methods of introducing the mili- tary drill into high schools and their educational equivalents in the United States were discussed at the meeting by officials of the Department of La Dor in conference with members of the War Department committee on education and special training. The Department of Labor has charge of the United States Boys Working Re- serve, which recruited 250,000 boys for farm labor this summer, and has appointed a committee of three state directors of the Boys Reserve com prised cf Arthur Howe of Connecticut, c. B. Fritche of Indiana and chair man Dr. Henry V. Gunmere of Penn sylvania. This committee has met with Captain Meras, who was ap- pointed by the War Department to draw up definite plans for the intro duction of military drills into High Schools.
 It is reported that school boards in many large cities throughout the United States are already considering plans for the purchase of uniforms and the introduction of military drill. The hope is held by officials that such boards will defer letting contracts for uniforms until plans now under con- sideration by officials in Washing ton are announced, in order that the uniforms and the method of drill for boys in secondary schools may be standardized all over the country.
