ROGERS COUNTY CHAIRMAN
 OF TRAINING CAMP AsSnCI

.N
 Representative Ernest E. Rogers of New London has been appointed chairman for New London county of the Military Training Camp association. The appoint ment is made by Representtiye Seth L. Pierpont of Ridgefeld, state chairman in change of recruiting for the camp of offic- CTS at Devens this summer
 CuTtailment of the military arpropria- tion in congress to the figures fixed by the house would deprive over 135 Connec- tfcut reserve officers of the Seventy-sfxth division of an opportunity to attend this l5-day training course, it was said yester- day by Major Frank c. Mahin, United States army instructor of the Connecticut National Guard. It would also keep near ly 100 Connecticut young men from the 1922 civilian military training camp to De | held there during the month of August he said.
 Under the original appropriation of s4 100000 asked for the purpose Of sending 10000 reserve corps officers to cap, about 200 of those assigned to the Seventy-sixtt l division, including nearly 160 from Con l necticut, would have been able to attend The house, however, cut the appropriation l to- $250 900. under it would be possible tC 1 send only 2S from the Seventysxth dfvi sion, of whom about 23 would be from this state.
 The war department Is seeking $2500 900 to cover the expenses of the civilian training camps this year, but the house l. disposed to allow only $1.S75, ,000, ac cordtng to Majoh Mahin. If the senat, should succeed in getting a conferenc, l agreement on the higher figure, it woulc mean that 53o Connecticut civilians coul: attend the camp this year, instead of 431

oVERRULEs ABATEMENT PLEA
 IN sCHNELL1N DIVORCE sU

In the divorce suit of Anna Schramm schnellen of Stonington against Jacob Schnellen of Groton Judge c. L. Avery has overruled the defendants plea in abatement.
 Attorneys for defendant presented the plea in abatement on the ground that the writ and complaint were issued by Ben iamin H. Hewitt, commissioner of the superior court on Sunday, Jan. 22, 1922, at Mystic, contrary to the provisions of the statute which reads that "all civil pro- cesses, except complaints for injunotions and orders thereon, issued or served be- tween sunrise and sunset on Sunday shall be void''
 Judge Avery finds that the writ was is sued Jan. 22 and served Jan. 25, a week day. Process maybe issued or served on Sunday before sunrise and after sunset Cgeneral statutes 5605-645O.) From all that appears the process in this case may have issued either before sunrise or after sunset. The plea in abatement is overrul- ed.
