PULLAR & NIVEN EXPLAINS ERRAND OF U-G8 Noew Haven Paper Claims to Have Imformation That to -Rescue of Bremen. New Haven, April 10.—An explana- tion of the presence of the German submarine U-53 in Americdn witers |, last” October. during which that craft 'NNITIONS BOARD SELECTIONS MADE| Will Supply Army and Navy With , Equipment ‘Washington, April 10.—The crea- tion of a general munitions board was announced yesterday by the council ot national defence. It will be head- ed by Frank A. Scott, a Cleveland manufacturer, and will be charged with supplying the army and navy !wlth munitions and equipment. One of its chief functions will be to decide between the country’s military and industrial needs. ‘The establishment of the board puts into the hands of a group of army and navy officers and industrial leaders virtually the same task given the Brit- ish minister of munitions. It creatcs i meachinery for a government depart- | ment of munitions, headed by a mem- | ber of the cabinet, if the conduct of | the war brings the need. Active mil- itary and naval participation in the conflict, many belleve, will produce that necessity. Twenty men, fifteen of them army or navy officers, make up the board. Besides Mr. Scott jts civillan members are Bernard M. Baruch, Howard E. Coffin, Jullus Rosenwald, and Dr. Franklin Martin. TFrom , the army there are . Brig. Gen. Thomas Cruse, Colonel F. G. Hodgson, Colonel H. Fisher, Lieut. Col. J. E. Hoffer, Major P. E. Plerce, Major Charles Wallace and Captain A. B. Barker; from the navy, Rear Admival] H. H. Rousseau, Rear Admiral W. 8. Capps, Command- er R. H. Leigh, Commander T. A. Kearney, Dr. R. C. Holcomb, Paymas- ter J H. Hancock, Lieut. W. B. Lem- ly and L. McHowe. Scott Munitions Expert. Mr. Scott is one of the country's leading experts on munitions produc- tion. Other civillan members- have had much to do with Turnishing sup- plies to the Allies. Most of the army and navy members are experts on mu- nitions standards and manufacture. ‘They were designated by department- al and bureau chiefs. The board will be expected to equip and arm forces called into service says the defence council’s announcement, with the least possible disarrangement of normal industrial conditions or in- terference with shipments to the En- tente Allies. Its immediate efforts will be directed toward co-ordinating army and navy purchases and assist- ing in the acquisition of raw mater- ials for manufacture. “It is not intended,” says the am- nouncement, ‘“‘that the new board shall have the power to issue pur- j'chase orders or to hid the government in contracts for purchases. These things will continue to be done by the respective federal departments.” Howard E. Coffin, a_member of the row munition board, & a member of the naval consiitink ‘board from destroyed several steamers off Nan- Ytucket Shoals on Sunday, October 8, s given by The Evening Register, basing its account upon what it says is excellent authority. The Register says the U-53 was sent to these waters to convoy the sub- mersible merchantman Bremen, which left Bremenhaven on August 26 last for New London. Captain Koenig of the submarine Deutschland had re- 1 ported that he narrowly escaped cap- ‘ture off the New England coast by two British and two French cruisers. Captain Rose of the U-58 was told to try and sink these cruisers, and at least to wait for the Bremen off New- port. The U-§3 was off the coast on October 1, but did not see the cruisers. Captain Rose failed to get & wireless message from the Bremen, and finally on the 7th went into Newport. He is said to have asked as his first question: “Where is the PBremen?” and to have been told that 4t had been lost. In two hours the U-68 left, and the next day sank craft on the shoals. The officlals of the Eastern For- ‘ warding company are said to have sald recently that they knew the Y Bremen was lost at sea. Added in- terest to this story is given by a statement made by Edward MacFar- jand of Hartford, home a few days ago on leave from the British steamer Harmatten, to the effect that gunners on this vessel sank the U-53 recently.

'S THE “DAYLO.” Four Women Select Same Name As Substitute for Flashlight. The goodly sum of $3,000 to each of four contestants or $12,000 pald for one single word, is the surprising conclusion of the “Eveready” Name Contest for a better name than “flash- light.” More surprising still is the news that all winners are women. Not a man participates. The winning name is “Daylo”, and the winners who have been presented with $3,000 each are Mrs. F., C. Grow of Watertown, S. D.; Katherine W. Hand of Topeka, Kans.; Irene M. Schulz of Union,Hill, N. J.; Bertha A. Wilson of Medina, N. Y. Each of the $3,000 checks has been presented by the mayor of the oon- testant’s home city, and each of the four fortunate women declares that she will now be able to carry out a long cherished 'wish. The contest took pldce last October, and the Am- erican Ever Ready Works of Long Isl- and City, who made the offer of $3,- 000, received more than half a million name suggestions, contributed by peo- ple in every walk of life from a shop girl to the high salaried business ex- | ecutive. Three months were required merely for the sorting and filling of suggestions before the judges could pass upon them. The company Se- lected.the best word regardless of the ' number of duplications and have pald $3,000 for each of four duplications in accordance with their offer that: “if two or more contestants submit the word selected, the full amount of the prize will be pud to each.” ‘The name “‘Daylo” itself meets all the con- test requirements, being a coined word, vet suggestive of the product. “Day” suggesting perfect light, and “Lo” meaning “Behold!"—*See!" The Eveready people state that here- after they will put the new name on all of their goods which will be known as “Rveready Daylos” instead of “flashlights.” Local dealers are cele- brating the re-christening of the line by making striking window displays | this week.—advt.

VATE SEA CALL BY CARDINAL (’CONNELL Boston, April 10.—Cardinal O'Con- nell last night issued a statement calling upon the nation to get up from its knees, bended during Holy Week, and “hasten now to act; we have spoken enough.” “There is but one sentiment per- missible today—that sentiment is ab- solute unity,” he sald. “Our country is at war. Our nation, . therefore, needs us all—every man, woman, and child of us—to strengthen her, to hearten her, and to stand faithfully by her until her hour of glorious tri- umph shall arrive. “80 up from our knees! Our souls thave gathered strength of sacrifice from the sight of Calvary. God and our nation! Let us lift up that cry to heaven. Neither base haste or sullen anger may dim the glory of our | flag, but let the love of true freedom— blessed, God-given freedom, which | above all other lands our country has cherished and defended—let that be | the thrilling power: that will quicken ! our pulses into a still greater love of | American than we have ever known till now. ‘“We are of all races. Today we are one—Americans. Whatever, .we can emies and make our flag triumphant.'| “Christ is risen! 'He has triumphéd over iniquity and death. Let us look up to where He now sits in glory and read ahew from the story of His | passion and his triumph the greatest of all lessons man can ever learn— that evil is conquered only by divine | courage, that death has no terror for | the man of faith, and that not all the : riches of this world are worth a pass- ing thought in comparison with the things which endure forever. “Let us hasten now to act; we have spoken enough. May God preserve and bless America! HT FOOD AT SEVEN 500D AT . Grape-Nuts “There's a Reason” FORMER STATE HEAD OF DEMOCRATS DEAD Charles W. Comstock Expires Unex- pectedly at Home in Uncasville Following Attack of Grip. Norwich, April 10.—The death of Charles W. Comstock, former chair- man of the democratic state central committee and a prominent member of the state and New London county bars, at his home in the Uncasville section of Montville, last night, fol- lowed a brief illness. The news of his death came as a shock to his many friends who were not aware that he had been ill. Mr. Comstock was taken with a cold two weeks ago. This developed into grip. He thought he had recov- ered sufficiently on Saturday to come into his office here. His strength was ! overtaxed and he had a weak spell while entering the building and faint- ed on the stairs. He was taken home in an ambulance. It was not thought the setback was serious. Yesterday he had another fainting spell and his death came unexpectedly in the eve- | ning. Q Mr. Comstock was in his 59th year. | He was born in Montville and had {lived there his entire life. He was active in politics many years as & \ democrat serving in the legislature | and becoming chairman of the demo- cratic state central committee in suc- ! cession to John J. Walsh of Norwalk | about 1905. He was followed by George Foster Iot Rockville about 1912. As state chairman, Mr. Comstock was brought into touch with men of affairs in every town and city in the state espe- cially during the first campaign of Judge Simeon E. Baldwin for the gov- | ernorship. As an attorney he pleaded /in many cases which received notice ‘and he was frequently seen at the state capitol before committees at hearings on various measures.
