1888 REGISTER IN STATE
Large Number Of Men just Eligible
for Military Service Apply for
Immediate Induction.

Hartford, June 7.-Comp1ete re-
turns of the registration of Connect
cut men of y years of age were re-
ceived yesterday afternoon at the
governors office at the State Capitol
and showed that 1888 young men had
registered on Registration Day. The
returns were tabuIated for the govern
or's office by the Connecticut State
Council of Defense.
The grand total falls short of the
national governments advisory esti-
mate of a registration of ten per cent,
of the number registered under the
Army Draft Act in June, 1917. Fol-
lowing the federal estimate as a guide
COnnecticut's registration would have
been between 900 and $1,000, but
the large number Of men of Fl years
of age who voluntarily enlisted the
past year was credited with being
responsible for the reduced registra-
ton total.
Rejecting the patriotic spirit of the
manhood Of the state. Major John
Buckley who is in charge of the Sc
lective service machinery in this state,
reported Wednesday that local eXemp-
ton boards were being bombarded
with requests by new registrants for
enlistment certificates SO that they
might enter national service imn1e-
diate1y without waiting for the draft.
Tho major is advising all boards that
these requests cannot be granted be-
cause the new registrants have not
been provided with serial numbers and
until these are assigned their regis
tration is incomplete.
Connecticut's registrants, as classi-
fed (*) under the three registration
groups are:
Group A.-Whites and white de-
clarants from countries with which
the United States is not at war, 6,842.
Group B.--Negroes and negro de-
clarants from countries with which
the United States is not at war, 2o3.

tries with which the United States is
not at war and from countries with
which the United States Is at war, and

true of three or four of the large con-

CROWN PRINCE STILL LOOSE
Rumor Had Him Captured in COM

New York, June How it started,
nobody knows, but from o'clock
Yesterday morning until late in the
night a rumor persisted about New
York that the German crown prince
and a vast body of his troops had been
captured on the Marine battlefront.
Som etimes the rumor had it that a
trif1ing matter Of 10000 Germans had
been captured; other estimates ran
as high as 100000.
The telephone company said it was
almost swamped during the morning
by calls for the various newspapers.
Some Of the queries came from Long
Island Westchester and New jersey.
Haverstraw seemed to have had the
report first, as calls from that town
began early fin the morning.
The report was blamed on Wall
street at first, but this was unjust,
for the financial district didn't get
the yarn until midnorning and then
didn't believe 1t. The tale had no
effect on the market, anyhow.
Of course, there wasn't anything to
the rumor At least, the newspapers
heard nothing about 1t from their
correspondents, who are not far away
from the crown prince and his outfit.
AS some of the blithe telephone oper-
ators put it: THE story Is interesting
but trif1e premature
