Tocal Man on Visit to Russia, Is De« tained There. Although an American citizen, Val- enti Nogic, whose family, a wife and several small children, resides at Lawlor street, is being detained in Russia unable to secure his release to return to his home. For many years c was a resident of this country, formerly living in Hartford. He com- mmd with all the regulations pertain- g to s A D T e S R A Being of a thrifty nature, Nogic saved his money and shortly before the out- break of the Buropean war he re- turned to his native land to Visit his mother. He left money enough to care for his family during the time of his intended stay in Russia. When it came time to return here, he was de- tained, and the meager information received by his wife does not say whether or not he has been pressed into war service. Shortly after his departure his wife re birth to a child and for some time did not enjoy good health. Re- cently her savings having been spent, she was forced to obtain employment and has been doing domestic work for local families. The case has been brought to the attention of Mayor Quigley, who h ought the a ance of Congressman P. Davis Oak: and efforts will be made through th Russtan consul to secure Noglc's re- lease.

SCOUT FIELD DAY Plans Completed for Parade, Athletic Contests and Camp Saturday After- noon and Evening. At a meeting of the scoutmasters of | the city in the Y, M. C. A,, final plans were made for the local meet and | rally to be held Saturday of this week in Rackliffe’s lower grove on Kensing- ton street. The Scouts will assemble on Court | street at 1:30 as originally planned for the parade and will take their places in the following order in line: | 1, Troop No. 7, Stanley Sheldon, scout master; 2, Troop No. 4, Dwight Skin- ner, scout master; 3, Troop No. 8, James Rogers, scout master; 4, Troop | 0. 9, Arthur H. Parker, scout master; 5, Troop No. 3, Fred Rackliffe, scout master; 6, Troop No. 1, Berlin, Rev. S. A. Fiske, scout master; 7, Troop No. 10, Martin Horwitz, scout maste 8, Troop No. 11, Max Uhlig, scout master; 9, Troop No. 1, B. W. Yergin, | scout master; 10, troop No. 12, Rev. Carlos Jones, scout master; 11, Troop | No. 13, Rev. James E. Rees, scout master. Each troop that marches in the pa- rade is to appear in full uniform and equipment, including staves, scout axes, troop and patrol flags, so that the people of the city may get a complete idea of the equipment of a Scout. In addition each troop will have some special feature. There will be a dem- onstration of the coat stretcher by each troop, and troop 4 will form a wheel squad as will probably one other troop. This same troop will also bring along their trek cart made by the troop for use in long distance hikes for the carrying of camp equipment. Troop 3 is to have mounted on an auto truck its wireless outfit, and Troop 1 is to have a float demonstrating various features of Scout craft such as camping, first aid and signaling. It is also hoped to have members of the local council in autos head the line of march. A special feature of the parade that has not been onnounced before will be the brass band or drum corps from Troop 2, Hartford. It is not certain whether the band or drum corps will be sent. This will not be definitely de- cided until the end of the week. This is oi%e of the few troops in the coun- ~try to have a brass band and will be | quite a feature of the parade. The boys have been playing together only about a year but in that time they have done some remarkable work. They will play for the entire line of march. The line of march for the parade is as follows: Leave Court street and march around the triangle, Main street to Arch, to Locust street, to Greenwood street,. to Brook street, to he intersection of Mill street, turn to the left at the intersection of Brook and Mill streets to the field as directed by the signs, marked “to Scout Field.” All of this week Troop of Fred Rackliffe is busy lower field at Rackliffe’s shape for the meet. A ing laid off where all will be staged. Another section i ing r rved for the troops nd each troop will find its station by a printed card indicating the troop’s number. The section outside of the runway will be reserved for the general public. desiring to attend the meet n go to the field either by following the line of march of the parade or take the Arch street car to the end of Arch street, turn to the left on Ken- sington street to Mill street and there follow the signs indicating the way. he meet is open to the public and there will be no charge. Following the meet the boys will cook their supper around their camp fires, one fire being allowed to each troop. It was originally the plan to have this part of the program and the evening rally open to the Scouts alone, but any persons who may care to see the camp life of the Scouts may re- main.
