 Fail to Qualify
 The new regulations governing the militia bureau and it's relation to state guard organizations have be- gun to make themselves felt Dur ing the past week il has become known that two Connecticut gener- als. Maj. Gen. Payne and Brig. Gen. Haggerty, have failed to qualify. which means that they are not feder- ally recognized and cannot draw fed- eral pay The regulations were simply tightening up on the voIuH- teer organization making the require ments for officerdom more stringent.
 The militia bureau here is now awaiting the word from the New England units on their selection for a division chief 4 unanimous choice must be made and then the officer will undergo moral. physical and pro fessional tests before being federally recognized. No word has been re- ceived at the militia bureau on this matter. but it is known here that Brig. Gen. Greenlaw of Maine Is . likely candidate for the post.

posed, in those few moments, for a
statue of the great avenger. There
was implacable hatred in every fea-

The ceremony was over. With rev.
erent fingers the letter was restored
to it's place at the bottom of the box.
For a few minutes he pored over the
contents of the two morocco-bound
volumes. Finally he returned every
thing TO the boz, carried it to the safe,
reset the latter's combination. and
carefully locked it, Then he turned
out the lights, drew back the curtains,
lit cigar and unlocked the door

Nothing to worry about" Blum
declared. pushing a box of cigars
across the table. "The conference
have accepted the position SO far as
the steel supplied from Germany is
concerned-faulty plates. Our people
conceded-on paper--an enormous re-
duction In price. AS regards the steel
from America-well, Japan over
bought. That's all she can say. There
seemed a possibility of shortage In
steel and she decided to cover herself.
We're only limited to building, not to
making provision for building"
But what about the building, my

tously. Japan has gone a little be.

But whatever has been done has been

Mr.. Gurlenheim drew a very large
silk handkerchief of fiorid design from
his pocket and mopped his forehead.
