DELAY TRANSFER
OF u. S, AIRMEN
TO own FORCES

With the American Army in France,
Feb. Soy the Associated Press)-
Nearly 100 american aviators expert
enced in French escadrilles other than
the Lafayette are impatiently await
ing their formal transfer to the Amer
lean forces in accordance with the
agreement between the two govern
ments. Twelve of these men, who
have seen at least two months actual
service at the front, were released by
the French early in January on sup
position that they soon would be COM
missioned in the American aviation
service.
Although all passed their examina-
ton and were recommended as first
and second lieutenants, they have NOT
yet received their commissions and
have been compelled to wait in Paris.
Aviation headquarters here is unable
to give definite information regarding
the time of transfer because the COM
missions must come from Washington
Vexed at the delay and DESTROYS to
enter active service, three of these men
have re-enlisted in the French army
| Two have been killed in the French
| service after passing the American
| officers examination. Thirty-three
f1iers have been commissioned in the
United States army and are now flying
on the French front in American uni
| forms.

ASKED
TO HELP FARMERS

Washington, Feb. 9-President Will
son had before him today a memorial
presented by 16 national farm or
CARNATIONS urging the appointment
of an advisory commission of nine
farmers to aid the government in
framing more definite measures to
speed up agriculture.
The memorial given to the presi-
dent by a delegation of representa-
tives of the organizations which call
ed at the White House asked also for
the furloughing of trained farm
workers now in the army if the gov
eminent regarded their services as
more useful in agricultural produc-
ton; that farm laborers be kept from
class 1 of the draft; that provision
be made for furnishing farmers with
seed, fertilizer and short time loans
for crop production; and finally that
if a policy of price control be adopt
ed, it be applied to what the farmers
buy as we'll as what they sell.
The president said the petition
would receive his most careful con-
Sideration.

BRITISH PLAN
BIC RALLY TO
Get RECRUITS

Sergeant o. E. Johnson, of the
Princess Pats, in charge of the British
and Canadian Recruiting office here,
delivered a smashing address to slim
ulate recruiting last night at the En-
pire Theatre and later at the Scot
fish Historical society on Cannon St.
He is now busy making preparations
for the big rally which will be held
Monday night at the high school.
One of the many features of the
program for the rally will be an ex-
PLANTATION of plans which the British
government has adopted for the rails
ing of Jewish battalion. This regi-
ment will be composed entirely of
British and Colonial Jews and from
the moment the idea was formulated
the scheme has met support from the
sons of Israel all over the world.
Lieutenant Pepler in charge of the
British recruiting service in Connec-
ticut will be the principal speaker and
he will be assisted by Sergt. Arthur
Gibbon, of the Third Canadian Con-
tingent, also Sergeant Johnson.
Another big feature will be the lat
est official motion pictures taken on
all the fronts by the British military
camera department. These pictures
were taken on the firing lines and in
midst of wild storms with the British
Navy in the North Sea.

ACCEPT AIMWELL
co. COMPOSITION

Creditors of the Aimwell Co. of this
city, suit and cloak dealers in Main
St, today accepted the proposition of
the company for a composition, and it
will be forwarded to the court for con-
firmation. The company is in the
hands Of Attorney A. L. Delaney as
receiver, and an involuntary petition
in bankruptcy was filed.
Under the compromise accepted to-
day the company offers to pay all of
the claims, about $4,000, in full, by
a series of notes, starting with a pay
ment of five per cent. and ending with
a payment of 80 per cent. at different
dates, the final payment to be made
January 2, 1924. There was no OPP
position.
1t is expected that the store at Main
and Elm streets will be reopened for
business under the management of
Ernest Gross, an official and stock
holder of the company. With the ac-
ceptance of the compromise offer the
necessity for appointment of a trus-
tee was avoided.

CASE CONTINUED

Detective Lieutenant L. ]. Valentine
of the New York City Police Depart
ment, appeared before Judge Bartlett
in the City Court this morning to an
swer to the charge Of breach of the
peace. His case was continued until
March 16.
Lieutenant Valentine in company
with another New York detective and
a police chauffeur attempted to kid
nap witnesses from Bridgeport few
weeks ago in order that they might
give testimony at the trial of New
York policemen accused of grating.

discovering that the only punishment
prescribed by law for that offense in
the State of Connecticut 80 years in
prison, the charge was changed to that
of breach of the peace.

PASHA'S TRIAL
PROCEEDS APACE

Paris, Feb. 9.-The trial of Bolo
Pasha on a charge of treason is pro-
crossing with great rapidity and those
in touch with the case look for an
earlier termination than had been ex-
pected. Many Of Bolo's witnesses are
not in France and it is expected that
the lawyers will begin their argu-
ments early next week.
Joseph Caillaux, former premier, is
expected to take the stand today as
a witness for the defense.
The testimony of Charles F. Bertelli,
the head of the Paris bureau of the
International News Service, threw lit
tie light on Bolo's activities in the
nited States. Mr.. BertelIi denied that
William r. Hearst, to whom he in
troduced Bolo, was a friend of Ger
many. Concerning BoIo, Bertelli said:
"Bolo spoke as patriotically as any
Frenchman, so much so as M. Glen
enceau for instance"

DENY NEW HAVEN'S
SCHOOLS IMMUNITY

Hartford, Feb. 9-Thomas W. Rus
sell, federal fuel administrator for
Connecticut, denied today a petition
presented by the school authorities
of New Haven that the schools of that
city be removed from the list that the
administrator has requested to close
during all of next week. He said
that under existing conditions he did
not think it advisable to make any
exception to his request, which had
the force of an order.
Superintendent of Schools F. H.
Beede and G. T. Hewlett, secretary of
the New Haven school board, per-
sonally waited on the administrative
at his office this morning and pre-
scented their case. There was coal
enough in the schools of their city,
they said, to keep them running COM
fortably; and they argued that the
school children would be in better
circumstances if in school during the
week than they would be at home.
