New Haven, June 24.—Interest at- “tached itself today to the first find- ing in an automobile fatality made by Charles M.. Robinson, recently ap- pointed deputy coroner here. The in- quiry was into the death of Sophia Doubinski ,in Hamden, after being struck by a machine driven by Charles F. Townsend, an architect. Mr. Robin- son, who has represented the Automo- bile association at the capitol in legis- lative session, does not hold Town- send, or his wife, who was apparently learning to run the machine, criminal- Iy responsible for the child’s death. He says that neither had sufficient ex- perience or knowledge to operate a machine on the public streets. The child, he finds, became confused and ran in front of the machine. Mr. Robinson then recommeds that the motor vehicle department of the state in the future refuse to issue a motor vehicle operator’s license to any person unless such person has been shown to be mentally and phy- sically competent to operate a ve- hicle on the public highways. FOUR KILLED IN TUBE EXPLOSION Compressed Air Releases Brick, Wa- Water and Sand on Laborers at Bottom of Shaft. Boston, June 24.—Four Laborers were killed today at the bottom of an eighty-five foot shaft by an explosion of compressed air Wwhich released brick, water and sand upon them.- An- other workman, operating a hoist at the top of the shaft, was blow1 through the air and caught on the derrick hook. He was taken to a hospital severely injured. The dead: Albert Eastern of this city, a miner; John Corbett of Fall River, a miner; Harry Owens, Of Cambridge, a sand digger, all negroes, and an unidentified white man. The shaft in which the explosion occurred had been sunk on the city “side of the reserve channel, between South Boston and the city proper, and the workmen were engaged in extending it under the channel- It was to be used as a conuuilt for wires. The men killed were alone in the shaft at the time, although the fore- man and two others had mounted to the surface only a moment before. The explosion burst through a com- partment about twenty feet from the top, and lifted lock which formed the shaft entrance several feet. It broke through the sixteen inch masonry wall erected about the bore, and the water of the channe; rusned through with sand to drown the men already pinned and injured by the debris. A diver was obtalned later and weorkmen were set to clearing the shaft opening to allow him to reach the bottom and recover the bodies. APPEAL FROM POPE?

BATTLE PICTURE AT INSTITUTE MUSEUM 7.—First prize, | prize, | | | | | | | Washington’s Victory at Monmouth | Executed Over a Hundred Years Ago the Gift of William H. Lee. ““Washington's Victory oD mouth,” a handsome oil painting exe- cuted in 1793 by Colonel John Trum- bull for Archibald Beverly, of Alexan- | dria, Va., presented to the New | Britain Institute by William H. Lee, | at and has been hung in the museum. The | painting which measures six by four | fect is regarded as a splendid exam- ple of martial art. Of special interest to New Britain people is the picture, for in the fore- ground stands a handsome young offi- | cer, rugged and fearless. He is Gen- | eral John Patterson, a native of New Britain and one of the most gallant soldlers that fought in the Revolu- tion. The painting has had various own- ers in its century and more of exist- ence. As explained it was originally painted for Alexander Beverly of Vir- ginia and remained in the possession of the Beverly family until 1847 when | it was bought from Colonel Henry | Beverly by Colonel John J. Lynah «f Charlestown, South Carolina. Tt eventually came into the hands of Mr. Lee who presented it to the Insti- tute. GERMANS TAKE THIAUMONT.

The statement recounts a supposed opinion by Spillsbury that Captain | with the idea that | action would bring h quick promo- tion and also that the Mexicans would | back down on a show of force. Tt | credits the scout with having argued | with Tieut. Adair on the evening be- | fore against moving into the Carrizal | territory in search of bandits, and also says he admits having impor- tuned Capt. Boyd at least to try to get around by some other road. Tt then gives Spillsbury’s story as fol- lows: ! Gives Order to Advance. “The troops were about 200 yards apart during the conference. Captains Boyd and Morey and I advanced half v to meet Gen. Gomez. s 20 minutes after we had returned to oqur respective lines and Bovd had given numerous orders to hi men and those of Capt. Morey, who were sta- | tioned some distance away in line, be- fore Boyd gave the order to advance. “The opposing sides were within 150 yards of each other when firing began. Neither the negroes or I know who fired first. I remained behind. “Troop C got as far as a deep | ditch, where the Mexicans were placed. Practically all who lost their lives were there, including Boyd and Adair. “The Mexicans did heavy execution with a machine gun and then, getting around to a deep ditch in the rear, Americans from that point. “The whole of Troop C was sur- rounded and not many seemed to get away. The horse holders bolted with a few of the mounts. but the re- mainder were bottled up and were captured. There were two American | pack mules along, but they evidently got away at the very start. Troop H apparently fared better, as it was far- ther away. “A bullet took off my hat and an- other grazed my arm. One of the negroes who was captured is wound- | ed. “In jail here the negroes are very | bitter about being led into what they | call a dead fall. They were entirely | in the open with natural defenses all | around them. such as brush and ditches, which the Mexicans naturally | took advantage of. The Mexicans | engaged were about 250 in number.” | The statement concludes by credit- ing Spillsbury with say that in the fir® conference he told Lieut. Col. Rivas that if he personally were able to get word to Gen. Pershing he be- | lieved he could avert the trouble that | and that he concluded, when he heard after the fight that Gen. Gomez was killed. that he cer- tainly would be shot immediately. Troops Disorganized San Antonio, June 24.—Complete disorganization of the two troops that were engaged in disastrous combat with Carranza troops and then practical annihilation of those actually in the fight was indicated in a report from Gen. Pershing to Gen. Funston today. One packer and eight enlisted men of Troop C. and seven men of Troop K were picked up yesterday morn- ing by Gen. Mever near Santa Maria. All were horse holders. The stories the men told were almost identical to those told by the other stragglers that reached the transmission lines vyes terday.

Hardly a day passes that there not a trench *raid’ other, and sometimes several sallies. No subject is more tabooed in its details by the censor. Com- manders do not want to let the enemy know why their raids succeed or fail or why the enemy’s succeed or fail. Invention fights invention; secrscy fights secrecy. All the elements of boxing, wrestling | fencing and mob tactics plus the stealth of the Indian who crept up on a camp on the plains and the team- work of a professional baseball nine are valuable to the player. The weapon that is least needed is a rifle. A club or a sandbag or an Indian battle axe or spiked club is better. A good slugger without any weapon at all may take an adversary's loaded rifle away from him’ and knock him down and then kick him to death. The monotony of trench existence these days js broken by preparing for raids and against them. Battalion com- manders work out schemes of strategy which would have won them fame in smaller wars. Fifty men or a thousand may be engaged in a raid. It may be on a front of fifty vards or a thousand. Tts object is to take us | many prisoners and kill and wound as many of the enemy as possible in a few minutes; and then to get back | to their own trench. The assaulters try to hold on to the piece of trench they have taken, the guns are turned on them, the bombers close up on | either side, the machine guns and | rifles are prepared to sweep the zone of retirement. is | by one side or the such Snipers Keep Busy. An uncanny curiosity gives the sol- diers incentive for the raids. Ordin- v they never see their enemy hid- den in his burrows across “No Man's Land” from their own burrows. Un-/ seen bullets from unseen snipers crack over head. seen guns sud- denly concentrate in a deluge of shells. For months this sort of thing goes on and the trenches of the adversaries remain zeways in the same place; the grim monotony of casualties and watching continues. This arouses the desire to ‘“‘get at” the enemy which the trench raid satisfies. It means springing over the parapet and rush- ing across ‘““No Man’s Land” into the very houses of the enemy and man to man on his door step proving which To go over the parapet ordinarily means death. Tn order to make any such rush there must be “interference’ as they say in football, and the barb- wire in front of the enemy’s trench must be cut. This is usually done by the guns, which become more and more deadly in their abllity to turn accurate sprays of destruction on given points. They cover the rush and thev cover the return of the raiders with their prisoners. But the guns are not all; there is all kinds of organized trickery in order to enable a body of soldiers to get into the enemy’s trenches for a few min- utes of activity when the occupants throw themselves on their invaders at such close quarters that it is a question if even a revolver is now a practical weapon. It cannot be thrown over a traverse and a bomb can. Run- ning into a German arqund the cor- ner of a traverse a blow may be bet- ter than a shot. Battlers Wear Corsets. There have been trench ralds where every man who went out was respon- the raiders own loss might not have been one in ten to then enemy's. There | are also faiflures. Success requires work out right. The British inaugurated trench raiding which the Germans promptly adapted. Where its development will end no one dares venture to say. One advantage of any raid is that those who return are bound to bring back some information of value to the corps. Officers in the trenches as well s officers in other military units usually wear steel corsets as a protection against spent bullets. “‘Score one for the breastplate,” said an officer who had been doubled over by a shell fregment which hit him in the abdomen. Instead of a flow of blood crimsoning his blouse all that was visible through the rent in the cloth was an abrasion on a steel sur- face. “But for your new corset you would have been dead by now,” the surgeon told him. Early in the war an officer who wore protection of this kind would have been frowned on by his fellows o8 soldiery. A type of corselet of small plates of highly tempered steel joined together by steel wires is being more and more worn by officers. Its struc- tures adapts itself to the move- | ments of the body, it weighs only a few pounds and, fitting snugly as a | vest, It is not cumbrous. If the son Canadian-Pacific railway, who was killed recently, had been wearing one, hig 1ife might have been saved, ac- ! by cording to his comrades. Since then Canadian commanders have str¢ urged all their officers to buy corsele:s: Like Donnybrook Fair, The corselet is worse than toction against bullets unless the lat- ter are spent. Such is their power of Penetration that they go through the thin steel, “mushrooning” and mak- ing a larger wound than if had been in their But tiie trenches, unless one shows his head ahove the parapet and is moving about in the shell zone in the rear of ‘he trenches, one is rarely exposed to bul- lets. When an officer goes into a charge in face of machine gun and rifle fire he takes off his corselet. On average days in the trenches the main danger is from shrapnel bullets and fragments from shell explosion which lict ugly and fatal wounds preventable by comparatively thin protection to such a vulnerable substance as human flesh. Together, a corselet and a stecl helmet pretty effectively shield vital parts against missiles of low velocity ; The usc of the corsclet is limited vir- tually to officers who for them out of the question. But gradually all and labor of supplying all ranks of a great army with them would seem out of the qustion. But gradually ali the British soldiers are being sup- plied with the steel helmets after their successful use by the French, \\'ho; first introduced them. The French | pattern is quite graceful beside the | no pro- wa in may pay British, which is round and something | & the shape of a toadstool. The British is heavier than the French and there is method in Its soup plate grotesque- ness.
