AID FOR VETERANS
ON MEMORIAL DAY
Council Of Defense Suggests Cities
Arrange Public Celebrations

Hartford, May 16.-TO assist in the
observance of May 30th in the spirit
of President Wilson's recent procla-
nation and in accordance with GUS
tom in this state. the Connecticut
State Council of Defense has suggest
ed to all its local agencies that they
cooperate witt Grand Army posts in
the arrangem cnts for the observance
of Memorial Day. Local agencies in
communities where there are no
Grand Army posts are urged to plan
Memorial Day exercises on their own
initiative. The council of defense Of
fers to assist in securing suitable
speakers for these exercises
Memorial Day, 1918, is to be
marked by observances in keeping
with the spirit OF war time. Last
April, congress passed Il resolution
requesting the president to recon-
mend a day of public prayer and
fasting at which time the people
should through supplication to AL
mighty God, appeal for Americas
cause and His blessings on our arms.
The president has set aside Mem orial
Day for that purpose.
The State Council of Defense has
sent letters to ali of it's local agen-
cies, enclosing the presidents proc
lanation and saying in part:
THE Observance of Memorial Day
has long been an honored and sacred
custom among the people of Con-
necticut. 1t is hoped by the >-ate
Council Of Defense that this N,tr,
more than ever in the past, Memorial
Day may be observed in the true
spirit Of all that it means.
by vote of the Connecticut State
Council of Defense on May 18th, on
recommendation Of its Committee on
Publicity, this letter goes out to sug
gest to local agencies in the COM
munities where there are Grand
Army Posts that such local agencies
cooperate with such posts in arrang-
ing for the observance of Memorial
Day. It is suggested that local agen-
cies in communities where there are
no Army Posts arrange Memorial Day
exercises on their own initiative or
cooperate with nearby communities
which are arranging for the observ
ance of the day.
THE Division of War Rallies of the
Publicity Committee of this Council
offers to cooperate with all local
agencies of the matter of securing
speakers for Memorial Day exercises.
Call Hartford, Bushnell So and ask
for the Division of War Rallies if you
want a Memorial Day speaker for
your community. Every effort will
be made to assign some one who will
bring a message which your people
should hear in this hour of national
crisis, and on this day of sacred signi
ficance."

three per cent. greater than for the
same period last year, there has been
a. decline in coal receipts in New Eng

little possibility Of a further increase
in rail receipts and that if New Eng

 The secretary also expressed the opnion that the draft regulations should be changed so as to include all persons engaged solely in entertain ing: within the work or fight provi-
 The decision was given on appea! in the case of Eddie Ainsmith. the Washington American catcher, recent ly ordered to work by local board, which came up to the secretary with a suggestion from the board that the regulations should be changed to exempt ball players.
 In. brief. the secretary held that with many players beyond the draft age it is by no means certain that complete disorganization of the base ball business will follow; that base ball players are men Of unusual phy- sical ability and alertness, able to adequately provide for their families in productive occupations, and that the employment of .able-bcded per sons in non pr oductive work cannov be justified on the ground of the sO- cial value of the national game.,
