STATE DELINQuENTS
 AT TOTAL OF e,oo7
Draft Dsserters in This State Mum
 bered 176 in Class of 1947.

According to reports sent by !ociS boards few days ago to Major John Buckley, director Of the draft for Con necticut, the number of regjstrants in the state who have been reported to the aGjutant genera of the army as deseFters is 1IG, and in addition there are 9.007 delinquents. These figures concern the class of 1917. Men who failed to appear for eatrainment for camp and who have not been To- cated are designated deserters. Those who failed either to file questionnaires or to appear for physical eXamlna tions are listed as delinquents.
 Connecticut thus has about one thirty sixth of all the deserters and delinquents in the Union from the class of 1917, Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder having told the senate
 military affairs committee that the serters in the class of 1917 was 354,- SEA out cf registration in class 1 of 2,428,729.
 General Crowder said the delinquent class included many men who entered the service voluntarily and whose rec ord of enlistment failed to reach the local boards. It also embraced many aliens who left the country after registration The number is being reduced by arrests and induction into the service, and i General CreWder added that ultimate : ly there would be a complete analysis 1 that would show the actual number of
 men to be treated as delinquents and 1 deserters.

NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING
 AID TO cZEcHo-sLoVAKs
Between the Entente Powers, Japan
 and the United States.

Washington, July 51.-Negotiations between the entente powers, Japan and the United States regarding the ex- tension of aid to the Czecho- Siovaks in Siberia and Russia have advanced another step. Information sought by the Japanese government upon cer- tain points of the American proposal looking to a definition of the aims and scope of any joint action now has been furnished by the state department This places the whole subject again 'sbefore the Japanese foreign office at Tokio, which must determine whether the American proposal is now in a sufficiently concrete form to warrant
 the inauguration of a policy of action. Meanwhile, from unofficial sources
 comes news that in anticipation of a satisfactory conclusion of the negotia- tions, Japan and the entente allies are perfecting their arrangements for the 1 organization of whatever military force may be necessary for the execution of the joint agreement Because of their
 proximity to Siberia, Japan and China have been foremost in this work, with a full understanding and cooperation | between the military commanders, all | though for strategic reasons the exact
 extent and nature of these prepara- l tions cannot be disclosed.
 To preserve the international char acter of the enterprise. France and Great Britain are preparing contin- gents.

+HAvE A HEART
 MEANS AUTO RIDES
H. H. Vignot is Pioneer Here in Bos- . ten Plan Towards Soldiers and Sail
 ors.

A large red heart showing on the au- tomobile of Henry H. Yignot of 21S Washington stre6t called attention on Wednesday, to the fact that he is the pioneer in introducing in Norwich a custom that is taking a strong hold in Boston with automobile owners.
 Have a heart" is the message of the big rpl bslrt towards the soldiers and sailors whom. you may possibly assist in giving a ride to their des- tination when you are driving a car with plenty of empty seats in it while some Jackie or "doughboy' may have an empty pocket or at best a scant- filled one that can ill afforl much in the way of car fare.
 So Boston automobile owners have adopted the custom of displaying big red heart in their cars as a sign that any soldier or sailor may just signal from the sidewalk and the auto driver with room in his car will be glad tc take him in.
 That's the way that Mir. Wgnot is doing it and he believes others will follow the Boston plan in this vicin- itY,
