PULLAR & NIVEN _NEW EXPLOSION IN DU PONT FACTORY This Time it Was in Plant for " Miaking Owner President New York, May 19.—Persons wha went to the Waldorf Astoria yester- day to obtain information regarding a bulletined all-day conference of the du Pont Business Men’s Presidential ieague learned, some with surprise, that the T. Coleman du Pont presi- dential boom had blown up and vanished the day before. Telephone inquiries at the home of Ormsby Mec- Harg, who has been in charge of the du Pont presidential propaganda, brought out the information that Mr, McHarg was on his way to Texas. The boom for Mr. du Pont has been housed in pretentious headquar- ters at the Waldorf for three weeks rast. Prior to moving uptown, du Pont headquarters were maintained in the City Investment building in lower Broadway. Mr. du Pont started out with the six delegates of his home state, Delaware, pledged to him, and there has been nothing to indicate that the boom has reached out and acquirred additional strength from other states, although the country has been flooded with litera- ture advocating the nomination of Mr. du Pont as a business men’s can- didate. Mr. McHarg, who has been in charge of the du Pont headquarters, gained a good deal of publicity four years ago in connection with the work he did in the South corraling regro delegates for Calonel Theodore Roosevelt boomers, he did not leave Roosevelt boomers, h edid not leave the republican ranks and- become a Bull Maoser. The du Pont boom was his second venture this vear. He was In charge of the ill-fated Henry D. Estabrook boom, which never made any noticeable headway. BREWSTER ACCEPTS.

PLAIN AT VERDUN A FIELD OF DEATH Germans Attack Like Ants, Wither : Belore Defenders’ Guns Middletown, May seription of an attack by 19.—A vivid de- the Ger- mans at Verdun is contained in a letter received by Dr. E. Kilbourne Tullidge of the state hospital here S. Morley of a Dor- chester regiment, one of those de- fending the ‘“‘gateway to Paris.” Dr. Tullidge came to Middletown a few months ago from France, where he served as a surgeon in the army. The letter follows: ' “The thing opened with a bom- bardment, a flaming inferno'in which nothing human could hope to live. Explosion followed explosion with awful regularity. Hills were blotted out as though snipped off with great shears; valleys sprang into being where. before there was level ground; the bruised and torn earth shook with cataleptic spasms. When the tumult ‘was at its height and the | orgy of destruction had attained its utmost violence, those damned sau- sage eaters, thousands and thousands of them, sprang from their trenches cheering hoarsely that king murderer of theirs, and covered that fleld al- ready swept by the terrible hurricane of our fire, swarming like so many ants towards us, We were fighting | then as no man ever knew how to fight, hanging on to what we knew was the beginning or the-end of the scrap. | “Give the Frenchies credit; they certainly have gat the stuff in them when it cames to a show down. They stuck, and stuck like men; no not like men, but demons, beasts with their back to the wall. The shells hurled on the landscape while those moneatonous grey devils ever swarmed forward as though impelled onward by some mysterious hypnotic influ- | ence. But they didn’'t get far before they knew just what we had in store for them. Dead? They fell like fleas. Hundreds, thousands af them, alone and in pairs. Torn to atoms by the shells, thanks to your Ameri- can factories. They sure put the pcwder in the right place. This lasted all day and far into the night. “The moan rose on a scene that the human mind in all its imagina- tive transports could not have con- ceived. Snow lay thick over the landscape which was constantly as- stming new shapes under the blows ¢t those enarmous projectiles. Gun answered gun, shell for shell was the motto. Where the ground showed no v hite there they struck, splitting the earth asunder and mowing down those dark masses like sa many wheat stalks in a hail storm. Lead was poured like water as fast as the guns could work. “Good-by, old man. Best luck and Lope that your United States will not pet a taste of the same bottle that has poisoned Europe. You know how letters are appreciated out here, so I will not urge you to write. Perhaps it will be unnecessary, for every moment may bring a shell or a bullet that will send your letter back un- opened.” irom Captain V. { POOR MOLLYCODDLE! “Teddy” R. Takes Another Smash at the Critter. Detroit, May 19—Hundreds of school children waving American flags, were among the throng which greeted Theodore Roosevelt at the railway station this forenoon, when he arrived here to be the guest - of honor at the American Day celebra- tion. Before Col. Roosevelt was escortcd to the Detroit Athletic club at the head of an automobile parade, he made a short address to the hov scouts, who were lined up in front of the station. He told them he believed in their organization, because it taught them to fight for the truth and ‘“not to be mollycoddles.” After luncheon at the clubhouse, Col. Roosevelt spent nearly two hours before going to a local opera house to deliver an address on ‘“American- ism and Preparedness for Peace.” WRECK ON “NEW HAVE} “Smoker” Overturns and Eight Pas- sengers Are Hurt.

Y. His failure to put in an ap- pearance when he was wanted by Bones for election caused consid- erable delay before the last of the fifteen men were tapped for that so- ciety.

He is one of the of the Yale dramatic asso- a member of the Eliza- for for ciation and bethan Club. Campus Crowded. In acesrcance with recent regula- except members of junior classes was forbidden the freedom of the campus from 5 until 6 o'clock, and guards were stationed at every entrarce to the quadrangle to see that this rule was enforced.
