 Late in the afternoon it became painfully evident to draft officials that the official estimates of those who would register in this district was far below the actual number that would come in. From practically every reg istration point in the district there came calls for more registration cards and certificates. In Putnam at O. clock the supply was down to 10. and a call had to be made on Danielson and other points in Killingly for what ever reserve supply was on hand there Official estimates went all askew in figuring the number of men who would register in the towns of this district, where, apparently, there has been a heavy influx ef labor fo1 work in plants on government con tracts.
 At the same hour, late in the after neon, the Gresvenordales, Quinebaug Ashford and Woodstock were all call 1 ing for more cards than the origina allotment made, and volunteers witt autorobiles were sent scnrfying ou

Amarillo. Texas, April 15.-Santa
Fe employees are responding literally
and promptly in filing their subscrip-
tions to the Third Liberty Loan. Some
are paying cash. But many are taking
of the opportunity offered
by the Santa Fe to subscribe for bonds
on the ten monthly installment plan.
In other words they are pledging their
earnings in their efforts to help win
the war. When face value of the
bonds are paid, they will be delivered
to the subscribers with interest on the
monthly payments included.
j. n. Freeman, treasurer Of the
Panhandle lines of the Santa Fe, re-
ports that he has completed the de-
livery of the bonds subscribed, for in
the summer and that the men are
coming back with new subscriptions
very promptly.
In his circular letter to the officers
and employees, President e. P. Rip
ley says: Railroad workers are need
ed at home to run the railroads as an
indispensable part of the national de-
fense They can show their patriot
ism by doing their part at home and
by saving and lending their savings
to the government" The prompt sub
scriptions to bonds indicate the 10y
atty and patriotism of the Santa Fe.

IBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wtHEl
Seven days after the Germans
launched their gigantic assault
against the British lines between Lens
and Ypres, the momentum of their
attack has been broken and the waves
of the Teutonic forces are recoiling
before the rock of the British de-
fense.
While the Germans have made
gains of ground and have driven a
wedge into the allied lines to a con-
siderable depth, they seem to have
failed in their attempt to break
through or take important railroad
functions
During the last day there have been
bitterly fought engagements in four
places, all on the northern side OF
the salient to the south of Ypres.
Seven assaults against the British
trenches at Merville. near the apex
of the triangular dent in the British
line, have been hurled back by the
British. Neuve Eglise, on the extreme
southwestern spur of Messines ridge
has been taken by the Germans aftei
a struggle which will go into history
as one of the greatest of the last week
Countcr-attack possible.
The British, however. have not re-
tired far and it is probable that they
will at once organize a counter-attack
to force the Germans out of town,
which, if held, might be a Kicking

outflank and make untenable Mes

side of the salient has stood firm. On
the southern side of the salient, ac-
cording to Berlin, fierce struggles
have been fought.
Plans of Germans.
1t has been the German plan OF

followed in the next few days by

casualties include sixty-four dead

ers, besides a number of wounded

Couldn't Fool Yankees.
The Germans attempted to deceive
the Americans by appearing in front
of the trenches and speaking French
and English and also by yelling 'gas" "
The deception. however. was soon dis
covered and cost the enemy dearly
The American casualties were COM
paratively slight.
Numerous stories of individual brav-
cry poured into the headquarters to-
day.
A young Italian, born in Pennsyl-
vana coal mining town. killed one
German and captured three. He saw
eight Germans walking in communi-
cation trench ahead of him and, al
though alone, he shot and killed one
and ran after the others, capturing
two and wounding some of those who
escaped
He then returned to the American
line and turned over the prisoners to
a noncommissioned officer, and coolly
asked for a match.
He Got HIS Match.
The officer jokingly said:
"I1l give you a match If you
bring in another prisoner
The italian, who is only five feet
four inches tall, went back over the
parapet. He returned in less than
five minutes, walking with drawn
bayonet behind siX-foot German,
who was yelling:
"Kamerad, kamerad!"
A few minutes later it was reported
that ten Germans were lying in a
machine gun nest in No Mans Land.
Starts Out Alone.
The Italian started for the spot
alone, but he was ordered back by the
commander Of the unit, who later
sent detachmentof men to rout out
the enemy, which they did.
