Will Government
 Makes Arrests Here
 for Booze Violations?

Whether the government authori- ties will invade this city to make ar rests for violations of the liquor law after July 1 was a question asked of the county commissioners today. They said they had not yet given any consideration to the matter. It Is believed that some legal compHca- tons are likely to ensue inasnuch as liquor dealers iu this city have licenses which do not expire until December 1, 1919. while the national prohibit ton order goes into effect July 1.
 County Sheriff Pease was asked to. day If he thought national prohibi- ton would make business dull at ths county jail He said he did not be- Iieve the new order would change present conditions at the institution very much. There are only 135 pris- oners at the Jail and but & small pro portion of these are charged with drunkenness. The sheriff declared that when the dry spell comes there may be a decrease in the number of arrests for assault, breach of the peace and other crimes sometimes in- duced by too much indulgence in the cup that cheers.

MRS. BENNETT TELLS JAIL
 EXPERIENCE
Noted Connecticut Suffra- gist Will Make Suggestion
 For Prison Reform.

Mrs. M, Toscan Bennett of Hart ford, who Is to be the prin- cipal speaker at the meeting of the National woman's party in the StratfieId hotel parIor, Wednesday, April 2, at p. m., is a, member of the National Advisory Council of that organization. Mrs Bennett has re- gently been released from Jail in Washington, where she was sent for participating in a. suffrage demonstra- tton at which a speech of President Wilson's was burned. Mrs. Bennett will be remembered by Bridgeport people, as she Is well acquainted here through her connection with the Con necticut Woman Suffrage Association, for which she acted as state treasurer for five years. She resigned in 1917 to take part in the more aggressive campaign for the Federal Suffra ge Amendment with the so-called "nlili- tant" group, known as the Woman's Party. Mrs. Bennett is an excellent speaker and gives q. very vivid ac- count of the ''miHtant' campaign, and of her experiences in jail.
 Mrs. George II. Day, the mother of Mrs. Bennett, will preside at the meeting. Mrs. Day was one of the first members of the National Won- ans Party in this state, and has given a great deal of time to furth- ering the campaign in Connecticut under the direction of that party.
 Mrs. Thomas \. Hepburn, chair man of the Connecticut Branch of the Woman's Party, and the former president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, will also speak at this meeting. Her subject will be 'DenoCracy-and Women" Mrs. Hepburn participated in several suf- frage debates in this city during her term as president of the Connecticut Suffrage Association. Mrs. Hepburn resigned her office as president of the state group when the adniuistra- ton began sending women to Jail for nersisting in asking that democracy be enforced in this country and the women of America be given a voice in their own government.
 The public is invited to attend. A special invitation is extended to those interested in prison reform to come and hear Mrs. Bennett.

SUSPECTED DIPS
 TURNED LOOSE

Harry Williams, Harry Walters and John Meehan, the three New York pickpockets arrested at the railroad station last Monday on suspicion of robing passenger on the trains, were released this morning and their eases nolled by the city court. Although these men have long criminal records no evidence could be secured upon which to convict them of the charges alleged.
 The police testified that in the rush to board a train one of the trio stepped on a passengers toes. Another of the gang feigned to assist the pas senger onto the train and the third accomplice is supposed to have re- lieved the passenger of his pocket book The passenger could not be obtained as a witness and for lack of evidence the court was obliged to noI1e the case Attorney George Mara represented the accuseS

Famous Divisions
 Will Retain Names
 to Keep Traditions
(Continued From Page One)

(Continued From Page One.)
 The First to Seventh Divisions will retain the designations of the seven regular divisions now in France, com prising the First and Second Army corps.
 In each case where q division has been given the designation of a Ma tional Guard and National Army di- vision, it will be recruited from the district surrounding the camp named as its base and from which the or iginal division of that designation was drawn.
 In making this announcement Gen. eraI March said that the department was proceeding with the organiza- ton of the army on the basis Of a peace strength of 5O9,0O0. The tac- ticaI organization will comprise army corps Of 20 infantry divisions and one cavalry division. Whether this or ganization will become permanent, he said, depends entirely on future Iegis- lation.
 The decision to raise a special for eign service volunteer replacement force of 50, 900 men, General March said today, was based on the discov- cry made by Secretary Baker and himself on their recent tour of army camps that Q large number of men were anxious to enlist in the army if guaranteed service abroad.
 A great number of men among the units which were trained in this country for service against Germany but who never reached France, he said, had expressed a. desire to make the trip abroad.
 On their recent tour General March and Secretary Baker found the rate of enlistments very low. only D. 797 men having been recruited at the regular depots. This recruitment is under the legislation authorizing a total of 175,000 men. The term of enlistment is ene-tfird of the total for one year and the remainder for three years. General March said that enIfstments so far were about equal for the two classes.
 The 50,O0O replacement troops to be assembled at Camp Meade are be- ing recruited under this authority and their number represents the total which the War Department feels it can premise immediate foreign Ser vice to take the place of men in the expeditfonary forces who are eligible for and who desire discharge,
 So far as possible, General March said, the wishes of the men who enlist under this special call as to the place of service will be met by the depart ment If a. recruit desires service in Italy he will be sent with a replace ment unit to the American forces there. If he desires service in France or in Russia, so far as circumstances permit his wishes will be met:
 Regarding the forces in Italy, while no recent advices have come to the War Department, General March said indications were that preparations were being made to withdraw the 332nd Infantry from that country.
