UNCLE SAM OFFERS REWARD
War Department Wants to Know Whs is Destroying Recruiting Bulletins Pasted Up in This City.

Uncle Sam is gunning for the per sons who arc destroying recruiting bulletins in New Britain. Corporal Joseph Flaman, in charge of army recruiting here, has been annoyed by the destruction of bulletins announce ing the opening of the recruiting service. He reported the facts in the case to Washington and today re- ceived word that reward of $1,0OO would be given for information lead ing to the arrest of the vandals. The destruction of bulletins of this nature is considered serious offense and the government usually punishes seevrely any miscreants found guilty.
 Corporal Flaman is recruiting for the Panama Canal Zone and for service in the United States. He is located at the post office and will give complete information to applicants. He has already recruited six men who have not yet been sworn in.

 Foreign criticism of the alleged weakness of the cabinet, emanating from London, as we'll as Berlin, dur ing the last few days, contributed to undermining the chancellor's position, even in the ranks of the coalition party. His belated espousal of the peoples party as 8 necessary ad- junct to the government definitely alienated the support he had been re- ceiving from the socialists. The chancellor has been obsessed with fear for his personal safety. During the past few months a heavy guard of

The days of initiations, of stunts and Of other things relative to soror- tiles and fraternities have come again to the city. The fact was brought to the attention of the public last eve- ming by group of High school girls, members of High school sorority. intent upon devising laugh provoking stunts for their unfortunate sisters to-be.
 The candidates, neophytes or what ever name is given to such people. paraded down Main street dressed in fantastic costumes, carrying opened umbrellas. although there were no signs of rain, and blowing fish horns, for all the world like a Halloween celebration. Needless to say, the girls attracted much attention. inas- much as they appeared so uncon- cerned and businesslike about the undertaking.
 Many people looked for the adver- tisement of some moving picture that they thought must surely follow such demonstration, and when they found none. they decided 1t must be part of a sorority initiation.
 One of the girls spent much time yesterday afternoon walking along Main street with beer inspectors" badge pinned on her coat. accosting passers-by and inquiring if they had any booze" She was carefully watched by older and very dignified members of the sorority, in order to be sure that she carefully carried out her instructions.
 There probably are today several very sore, but also very happy girls at the school receiving the congratu- lations of their friends, and answer ing to the call of "babe", uttered by older sorority sisters.
