 as Detail Here

Chief Gunner's Mate J. w. Newbolt, attached to the U. $. s. Bushnell, is here with three other petty officers on recruiting mission for submarine d. vision No. 15, and the T.. S $. Bush nell. Assisting him are J. F. Culll- nane, chief gunner's mate on the S-3,

 There are several parties out from the different branches Of the SerV1ce on recruiting missions, but Chief Gun ner'S Mate NeWbolt and his staff are recruiting only for the T.. s. S. Bush nell and the No. 15 submarine divi- sion. The U. $. $. Bushnell is a floating machine shop with a crew of 1855 men and II officers. She is a vessel of 3700 tons displacement and has speed of fourteen and one-half knots. During the war the Bushnell was a tender for all the U. S. submarines off the Irish coast, keeping all of them in prime condition for their duties. The Bushnell is fitted up with every kind of machine tools and every sort of machine work, from the repairing of chronometers to Diesel engines IS the daily program of the ships me- chanic.

Bushnell for an extensive tour
 Chief Gunner's Mate Newbolt has a very pleasing personality and is very frank with those who desire to enlist, explaining everything that they might consider as an obstacle to enlistment. He stated today that there were some who have returned from the navy with false impressions of the service and were expressing their opinion in loud terms. To this he said that there was some reason as the war had created | adverse conditions which had to be | net as best as could be done under the l cirCum stances. Under normal COndi- tions as they exist now there is noth- l ing which can he detrimental to the l recruit. There are very few who have l returned from the navy who served ] during the war who do not speak in l the highest terms about the treatment | accorded them.

Ottawa, Sept. 17.-Threats of strikes were deplored and a new warning from labor to employers was issued at the National Industrial con- ference here today. The conference opened amOst in fighting mood and the session soon became lively.
 J. $. MCkinnon of Toronto thought labor had been going tCO far in using the term transcription of wealth. and threatening a strike to enforce the eight hour day in all industries. There should have been moro Of a spirit of British fair play, he claimed.
 J. A. GilleO. of sydney. N. s., d delegate of the steel workers, dis claimed any attempt to force class legislation. No industry had yet been ruined by reducing hours of labor, he declared, and every dollar involved honestly was worthy of a proper in terest but the speeding up of labor to earn profits on air and water was not legitimate. Speaking of fair play he said:
 It cannot be all one-sded. We must he fair with you, but you must also give up a little more of what you have been pleased to term profits in the past"

city.
 An unusual situation arose some time ago as d result of the fact that two soldiers had the same name. Both of the young men were from this city, both were named William Kelly, and both of them had red hair. In addition to these facts they were
 both known as "Red' to their in- innate associates in New Britain. One of the young men was a son of Mir. and Mrs. William Kelly of 36 Grown street, and he enlisted in the engineers, being assigned to detached service at West Point. The other was a son of MT. and Mrs Timothy Kelly, of 167 High street, and he was in the aviation section of the signal corps.
 The latter young man was killed in a railroad accident near New York on November 24, 1918. The story soon spread in this city that Red" Kelly had been killed. Friends of the two boys did not know which C1 had met with the fatal accideht- At first it was thought that it was the son of MT. and Mrs. Kelly of High street. Then, through one of those unaccountable mistakes made by the war department, Mrs. Kelly of Grown street received a telegram stating that her son had been killed, thus adding to the confusion. The families were soon enlightened, however, and it was learned that William Kelly of High street was the victim of the un- fortunate occurrence. Many of the friends of the boys did not know the truth of the matter for some time.
 4 short time after the happening recounted above, William Kelly of Crown street came home on fur tough. He left the railroad station met an acquaintance on Main street. Kelly spoke to his friend and the latter, recognizing the young soldier, started as though he had seen a ghost. "I thought you were dead" he calculated by way of greeting. Kelly assured his friend that he was very much alive and kicking and then he learned the story of the mistake which had been made. Sev- eral repetitions of his first meeting occurred when he met others wh Oln he knew, but he soon became used to his friends by appearing in the flesh. The matter has since one of those rare coincidences which may happen in the "movies' but which seldom occur in real life.
