Company E secured three additional applicants for enlistment last night and, if these men are accepted as physically fit and mustered into the service it will bring the total of the command up to eighty-nine men and two officers. Lieutenant Harrls took the recruits to Hartford this morn- ing for examination, but the recruit- ing officers were temporarily in Win- sted examining men and the local ap- plicants cannot be examined until their return, late this afternoon or to- morrow. The new men who have en- listed are working steadily with their drills and yesterday and today have been going through the manual of | arms with rifles. As soon as their new equipment arrives they will take their places with the regular com- pany. " Take Non Com tions. Six corporals took the examinations for appointment as sergeants this morning. They were Corporals La- celle, Dawson, Curtin, Logan, Olsen and Bloom. It is said that Company E will need these new sergeants and that there will be appointments for five new corporals about the first of the month. There will also he pointments as first class privates. The men are beginning to wonder about their pay and have been noti- fled that their _checks will probably arrive between the third and the tenth of May. Orders have been received stating that the soldiers will be given federal pay beginning March 26, the day after the president called the Na- tidnal Guard to the «colors. Hard to Get Up in the A. M. A number of the boys at the armory are finding it hard to get up in the morning, but a new and more rigorous schedule ‘is’ being maintained and those who are wont to recline too long in the arms of Morpheus have to pay by doing extra fatigue duty. The first call is sounded at 6:45 a. m. and reveille sounds at 6:50 a. m., giving the soldiers ten minutes to get dressed and fall into ranks on the armory floor. Yesterday morning five of the boys were missing and the guard found them still sleeping peacefully. ‘Their penalty was to scrub the com- ‘pany parlor. This morning three others lingered too long in their cots and today they have been doing the ‘“scrub woman stunt” in the company locker room. . Bugler Duplin has been recom- mended for appointment as a cor- poral and Privates Saviski and Suiss are practicing daily to qualify as buglers. : Cook “Con” Anderson will be ad- mitted to St. Francis’ hospital in Hartford on Monday to undergo treat- ment for foot trouble. It is expected that he will soon be able to rejoin the company. ATHLETES ARRIVE IN PHILLY. Trains From West Bring Many to Quaker City.

GERMAN TROOPS AT | FRONT IlllWNBAST But It Is 0nly Passing Emotion, Says Yon Stein Copenhagen, via London, April 27,— General Von $tein, Germard minister of war, admitted during a discussion of military affairs by the Reichstag com- mittee vesterday, that fleld post let- ters from sources at the front showed a certain amount of discouragement. This, however, was only a passing sentiment, he explained, and in gen- eral the spirit of the troops was good. In a war like the present one could not expect an unbroken stream -of victories, he said. General Von Stein’s teport is con- sidered to have influenced the com- mittee in sending, through Field Marshal Von. Hindenburg, greetings ! and assurances of solid support to the army, which the radical socialist mem- bers of the committee alone refused to sign. The- committee rejected a - radical socialist plan to establish a commit- tee of parliawnentary control to- su- pervise the conduct of the war. Dur- ing the discussion, Herr Stuecklein, a socialist member, complained that mett were sent to the front as a pun- ishment, and that this method was used regularly as a threat. He pro- duced the text of an order in sub- stantiation of his assertions. Says U-Boats Hit Vital Nerve. Berlin, via London, April 27.—A confidential statement in regard to the progress of submarine warfare , has been made by Vice Admiral “ Von Capelle, minister of the navy, to the Relchstag committee in the course of a discussiori. An official statement re- garding the minister’'s communication was given ‘out today showing that he told the committec that succéss of the submarines continued to be great and losses small. The reduction of ton- nage at the disposal of hostile nations, he said, was taking place with cer- tainty, thereby replacing the lack of. foodstuffs. The minister continued: tvithstanding the sharp censor- ship in Entente countries, sufficient news has reached us to shgw that the U-boats have hit a vital netve of Eng- land and, through her, of her allies. The London Morning Post of April 16 says the number of English boatsy really sunk has been kept secret, but that the scales are inclining toward Germany, and that this gain probably will increase in mathematical propor- tion. This is significant. The navy has fully realzed the expectations on which the proclamation of the sea barrier was based, and it has no doubt that in time England will suffer the consequences. NEIGHBORHOOD AROUSED. Soldier Reported to Have Fired Off Revolver. Great}y alarmed over the sounds of Tevolver shots in thc neighborhood, Mrs, Kramer of Seymour street tele- phoned to police headquarters about 10:40 this morning and suggested that an investigation be made.
