Aside from the demand from the army
the civilian hospitals have been over

nurses corps might have rendered is in
estimable.
Indiana has greater concern now
than ever with enrolling Immediately
the needed 544 student nurses to make
up it's fun quota. In fact there are
splendid arguments why the enrolment
should far exceed the quota. There are
being constructed in many county hos

In every county in the state there is

ASKED IF J. s.
 IS ATTEMPTING
 TO OBTAIN LAND

Tokyo, Feb. 16-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) )-Viscount Motono, the foreign minister, at a meeting of the general budget com mittee of the house of peers today was asked whether America was at tempting to gain special rights in Russia, such as the transfer of the peninsula of Kamchatka, across the Behring Sea from Alaska
 'It is true,' he said ':that Ameri- cans are active in Russia, and not only they, but the Japanese and Eng fish as well. I do not care to say anything in concrete form now, ex- cept that the transfer of Kamchatka is not recognized as a fact by the gov ernment."
 Viscount Motono said the question of Russia's large obligation to Japan was very important as Russia owes some 2O0,O00,000 yen for arms, mu- nitions and other supplies. The gov- ernment was paying full attention to the matter, but as the present gov- ernment in Russia is not recognized by the powers, he declared it was not proper to discuss it now. At a suita- ble opportunity, he added, Japan would take measures in concert with the interested powers.

FALLS
 FOR AN ANCIENT
 SW|NDL|NC CAME

Vac1l Atharns, a Greek, of 218 GIL bert street, proved conclusiveIy that when Greek meets Greek they do not always open a restaurant, when he fell for very antique swindle worked by two of his fellow countrymen, in which he was the loser by $1, ,O44. Va Gil met the other Creeks yesterday. They told him a brother of theirs had been killed in Massachusetts and the insurance company had paid them H4,O00. They were afraid to keep it on their person because there were others trying to steal it. They wanted an honest man to keep the money for them
 The pair impressed Vacil that they were of the opinion he was honest, but how should they know? Perhaps he had some money? Yes, Vacil had some money, s1,044 in the Postal Sav- ings bank. He was in such a hurry to prove he had money, he went to the bank and drew it out. Then they suggested he put his money in a bag along with their $14,0O0 and for htna to be guardian of the entire sum-
 Vacil saw no harm in that Besides he was f1attered they had chosen him from among all the people in Bridge port as an honest man. Shortly after receiving the bag of money the two Greeks left him with an appointment to meet him later. Upon arriving at his home he thought he would look over the fortune entrusted to his care to find that the bag he received was filbeld with scraps of newspaper.

ASK VOLUNTEERS FOR GAS & FLAME
 SERVICE IN WAR

The War Department has instructed army recruiting stations in Connec- ticut to accept men for the Gas and Flame" regiment, the 90th Engineers. Major WA. Mercer, district command ant, expects many volunteers from ev- cry part of the state. A few mouths ago hundreds of skilled men foeked to the regiment. It was rapidly filled and then came a department order stopping further enlistments. Now the 30th is open again to men, who are not registered in the selective draft.
 Men may volunteer at the New Ha- ven, New London, Waterbury, Bridge port Or Hartford army recruiting sta- tions. Information will be given out at these offices. Men may also com- municate with the Recruiting Officer, New Haven, 956 Chapel street. Enlistment in the Gas and Flame" regiment offers opportunity to skilled men to be used and recognized as men skilled in their trade. The following can qualify: Chemists (analytical, re- | search and manufacture), chemical | worker, powdermen, men experienced in gas manufacture, machinists, auto mobile repair men, men able to op- crate and repair gas or steam en- zines, pipe filters, electricians, design CTS, interpreters, carpenters, black smiths, plumbers boilermakers and chauffeurs. This organization will re- | quire a large proportion of men able to assume responsibility. There will be many opportunities to advance to higher grades.
 More recruits, outside the draft, are wanted for the First Connecticut h. fantry. All branches of the army are still open to volunteers. Registered men may volunteer through their local draft boards which will induct the men into the ervice and send them to the recruit depots. This is permiss- able by regulation 15O of the Selective Draft Rules.
