Troop trains early today were met by detachments of Boy Scouts who it the car windows, offered sleepless guardsmen sandwiches and coffee. “Not all the citizen soldiers have been inoculated against typhoid, it has been learned, since the arrival although almost all have been va cinated.

IRISH REBELLION REPORT COMPLETED Commission Exonerates Lord Wimbern and Blames Burill London, July 3.—The royal com- mission which investigated the Irish rebellion says in its report submitted today that the responsibility for the outbreak does not rest with Baron Wimbern, the Lord Lieutenant, since resigned, who is declared to have been in no way answerable for the policy of the government. The chief secretary for Ireland, Augustine Bir- rell, who resigned shortly after the suppression of the outbreak, was pri- marily responsible, the report says. The royal commission was presided over by Baron Hardinge. Outlining the causes of the outbreak in Ireland the report say A Section Against the British. “In endeavoring to elucidate the causes of the rebellion in Ireland the fact should be borne in mind that there is always a section of opinion in that country bitterly opposed to British connection, and that in times of excitement this section can impose its sentiments on largely increased numbers of the people. The conclusion of the report points out that it is outside the scope of the commission’s instructions to inquire how far the policy of the Irish ex- ecutive was adopted by the cabinet as a whole, or to which responsibility to any but civil and military executlves in Ireland.” Conclusions Drawn. The report then gives these conclu- sions: That the main cause of the rebellion appears to be that lawlessness was al- lowed to grow up unchecked and that Ireland for several years past had been administered on the principle that it was safer and more expedient to leave the law in abeyance if a collision with any faction of the Irish people could thereby be avoided CHICKENPOX ON BOARD Second Battalion Troop Train Has Case and Tt is Found Necessary to Quarantine Entire Outfit. 3 New Haven, July 3.—Major George E.

Reserves Are Felt. Paris, July 3, 12:55 a. m.—The re- | serves which the Germans rushed up to the Somme region to check the { Franco-British offensive began to make themselves felt vesterday after- noon and last night, according to latest reports received here. The | fighting reached a pitch of exceptional desperation but, nevertheless, tho | German efforts to check the allied ad- | vance failed. The Franco-British | allies, these reports say, retain the in- | Htiative unimpaired and, as the result ct the da fighting, have materially | advanced their line and strengthened | their hold on what they had previous- v won. The capture of Curlu especially in w of the progress made south of the Somme, represents a great step | forward, for the village bars the road | leading to the only points where the river can be passed. The French troops have now before them on the road to Peronne, their goal, a series of hummocks each of which is crowned by a village, ending in a narrow plateau. The British on their part have made steady progress toward Bapaume, which is an important center on ac- count of intersection there of the main highways which apparently are their objective. Germans Partially Successful. London, July 3, 9:55 a. m.—As the result of one week of most costly on- slaughts on the Russian lines be- | tween the Stokhod and the Styr rivers the Austro-German forces have ad- vanced their battle front at the most five miles eastward towards the Styr and that only in some sectors, says a Reuter dispatch from Petrograd. Military authorities, the corre- spondent adds, are confident that the Russians are firmly holding the en- emy on this front, pending the devel- | opment of General Letchitzky's sweep through Bukowina, meeting the Ger- man reinforcements entering the field Meanwhile the Russians have pro- gressed fifteen miles southwestward of Kolomea and the Austrians there are hard pressed to cover their re- treat to the Carpathian mountains. News Is Slow. © Londen, July 3, 1:45.—News of the Anglo-French offensive came in slow- ly today. The authorities and press gave warning that patience would be necessary ,as the advance must b slow owing to the nature of the for fications erected by the Germans in the twenty months they have been in possession of the territory attacked. Places such as Montauban, Fricourt, La Boiselle, Serre and Mametz, which the British took and like the villages further south captured by the French, are bristling with machine guns. There are many other similar po tions which must be overwhelmed if the French and British infantrymen are to continue to push forward. The artillery, it is true demolishes defense works, but Germans remain in dugouts during bombardments and come out with machine guns to meet the attackers. Consequently much hand to hand fighting occurs. Fur- thermore there are counter attacks to be repulsed. Other Fronts Active. Meanwhile the troops on the north- ern end of the western front are not inactive. Off the Belgian coast Brit- ish monitors are throwing shells across the sand dunes to keep the Germans in their trenches. The Bel- gians, who recently took over an- other stretch of the front, keep up a bombardment which equals that of the British guns, What with the heavy gunfire and the raids of infantry de- tachments, the Germans are kept busy from one end of the line to the other and the threatened attacks at every point warn them against sending re- inforcements to the Somme region. BOYS AT NOGALFE! Part of Conn. Troops Now on Border —Rest Expected Soon. New Haven, July 3.—The first sec- tion of the Second Regiment, Major Isbell in command, reached Nogales, Arizona, at 10:30 today. The second section under Major Hall is four hours behind. The first section of the First regiment was at Nogales when the second arrived. Other trains with Conn. troops are soon to arrive. Men are reported to be in fine con- dition and in excellent spirits. DIES AT DESK New Haven, July 3.—David Daggert, secretary of the New Haven Water company, died at his desk in the com- pany’s office today. Heart disease was the cause. Mr. Daggert was an alum- nus of Yale, class of '79, and identified in many ways with the city’s business and soclety. ARMY BILL REPORTED. Washington, July 3.—The army ap- propriation bill revised by the senate military committee, and ordered ported today, carries $328,000,000, an increase of $146,000,000 over the bill passed by the house.

KLETT CANDID;\TE FOR STATE SENATE Will Be in Campaign to Succeed Him- seli—Predicts Sweeping Repub- lican Victory. In an interview today Senator George W. Klett stated positively that he is a candidate for re-election to the legislature this fall and will be in the campaign from the start. Sen- SENATOR G. W. KLETT. ator Klett predicts a republican vic- tory on both state and national tickets. When Senator Klett was elected to the senate two years ago he was given an appointment on the judiciary committee, the most important of all. He did good work on this com- mittee and the chances are that if he is re-elected he will be given chairmanship of the judiciary com- mittee this term. During the last session of the legis- lature Senator Klett was instrumental in saving New Britain many thou- sands of dollars by his successful campaign against the pipe line tax Dbill which, had it passed, \*ould have made the city pay thousands of dol- lars in taxes for the right to have their water pipe lines run through farm lands. He worked hard on the compensation bill too, and it was he who secured the reduction of from fourteen to ten days that a person must be incapacitated before compen- sation begins. He also put through the bill which makes the time th an injured party gets medical assi tance unlimited, where before it wa thirty days Senator Klett’s loan shark bill has worked out admirably and many pros- ecutions throughout the state have r sulted. This bill is one that has saved the people lots of money and prevent- ed them from being duped and “bled” by the loan shark operators. His for- tune telling law has also worked out well and has prevented this class of people from fleecing the public in Connecticut. MRS.

CORPORAL CODKE 10 BE RETURNED Survivor of Carrizal Massacre Now in Juarez 3.—Corporal I. X. Cooke, the twenty-fifth survivor of Carrizal to be taken captive by the Mexican troops, is being held in cus- tody today in Juarez.
