PATRONS TO PROTEST
 TROLLEY RUN CHANCE
Users of Chestnut St. Line Oppose Curtailment in
 Service

\ group of residents on Chestnut. Stanley and Pleasant streets, served by the Chestnut street trolley line. are considering action to compel the Connecticut Co. to continue 2O- minute runs on the line or give up the franchise,
 Their contemplated move is based on provision included in the franchise granted the company more than 20 years ago. Through the efforts of the late Judge George Andrew, they claim. the charter granted the Connecticut Co. requires a run over the route every 20 min utes from 6:30 a. m, to l ?, m., as long as the company continues to hold the exclusive right 10 furnish transportation along the line.
 Announcement has been made by Supt. w. J. Bryan of the local di- vision that service will be curtailed. beginning Saturday. The new sched- ule provides trips between 6:30 and 9:30 q. m, between 11:5o a. m. and 9:3o D. m. and from $50 ?. m. to 5:50 D. m, with no trolley cars cp- erating over the route at other hours or on Sundays or holidays.

.ASSYRIANS ARRANGE
 EXODUS TO HOMELAND
Group to Leave This City and Remain Abroad
 in Future

As soon as passport arrangements are completed. possibly before next month, about 20 Assyrian residents of this city will leave for their na- tive land, Persia, to make their flu ture homes.
 Dissatisfied with present condi- tions here the exodus was planned for some time. Because of the red tape they encountered when appli- cations for passports were made, an appeal to Washington was sent by representatives of the Good Samari tan society, an Assyrian organization of this city, to hasten their depar- ture.
 Jobless and unemployed for some time the number has increased from 12 to 20 during the past month with the expectation that more will join the group when the time for the voyage draws nearer.
 In the event that the passports are secured the voyagers. mostly mem bers of the Assyrian society, will re- main permanently in Persia with no thoughts of returning here. There are about 900 Assyrians in this city.

0UIGLEY BACKS UP ROSSBERG'S STAND
Believes City Should Use Facilities for Storing
 Water

Storage, rather than new sources of supply and pipe lines, is the~need of New Britain's water department, Mayor Quigley said today. concur ring in the viewpoint expressed by William B. Rossberg, former char man of the board and now mem- Der of the advisory committee.
 The seepage from Whigville reser- voir, estimated by Rossberg at to- tai almost half as great as the amount of water used in this city annually. has been common knowledge for many years, but cor rection is regarded as impossible be- cause of conditions of the soil, the mayor asserted.
 Mayor Quigley looks with favor upon the proposal for a new i'm pounding plan at Hart's mill, north of the Whigville dam, the purpose of such q plan being the holding back of flood waters during spring freshets for release during drier periods. It is during that season that the water flows over Whigville dam and is wasted, according to Rossberg, who explained the situation to city offi- cials on a tour of inspection We'd nesday afternoon.

Bombay, Aug. GP)-Afridi tribes men to the number Of 5000 to 5000 were reported moving at dawn in the Bara valley in an intended as- sault upon the Peshawar frontier.
 Their activities were reported to be due to the Afghan youth league of the Buhankhel district, combin- ed with rumors circulated by the new League of Youth of Peshawar. Both of these organizations sup posedly have communistic conneC- tions and are said to be responsible for the persistent circulation of ru- mors among the tribesmen that Peshawar and the surrounding dis tricts were in the hands of national congress members and undefended.

MAJ. BUCK LAUDS TROOPS
Four Governors to Attend Divisional Review Sunday-Mcmbers of Con- pany L, Bristol. Active-Soldicrs in Mimic Warfare.
Special to the Herald ]

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, Aug S satisfaction with the manner in which the 169th infan- try is progressing since it came to camp almost a week ago was ex- pressed yesterday by Col. Orville A. Petty, commanding officer of the regiment, High praise was also given Buck, the regular army training of ficer who is attached to the 169th.
 The regiment received special commendation from the divisional authorities on the cooperative man. ner in which it has acted in the rules governing the automobiles in camp. Ten automobiles are allowed for each regiment and these are used by the staff officers. The Com- pany commanders are not allowed the use Of machines. According to Major Buck the 169th regiment had not failed in a single case to observe the regulations.
 Cleanliness in the kitchen and about the barracks has met with the approval of the officers. They claim every man in the regiment from the commanding officer down is play ing the game"
 The camp training period so far has been used for close order drill ing, formation on the offenses and defense and the solving of problems, t- ofrNt lc many respects than that at Camp Trumbull. The boys seemed to be ac- complishing a great deal but the work, so far at least has not been difficult.
 The regiments will not go out on regimental play wars but the long hikes typical of the Mantle camp will not be taken.
 There is very little outside amuse- nlent. Some of the guardsmen who came to camp last Saturday have not left it. The nearest city is Lowell, about 5 miles away, and lack Of automobiles prevents the boys from going there. Aver, a small town, about three miles from here, offers nothing in the way of amuse- ment. Some of the guards walk to the town every night and walk back before taps.
 The best amusement of the camp is the boxing bouts held every eve ming. An excellent program is given.
 Company H Goes to War

 This city was threatened as it had not been for a long time The ad- vance guard of the menacing tribal army spent the night encamped only 12 miles away and scouts reported every indication of an intention to make an early advance.
 Battle Seems Inevitable
 Observers predicted at noon that battle within the next few hours which might force the supreme is- sue hardly could be avoided.
 There was no lack of confidence among the defending forces, how ever, whose officers asserted every precaution had been taken and that every move of the tribesmen was being made known quickly to the British command by accommodating
