KEEP YALE ALIVE, [CALL 70 THE HOE [Msins IS ALUMNI SLOGAN| SOUNDED BY STATE, " Graduates to Devise Way to Offset Financial ‘Loss (Special to the Herald.) Néw’ York, 'April 30.—To pledge their services to the country and to continue their university as the great- ‘est military training school in the land, thousands of Yale graduates are now preparing to hold a "huge war council. in New Haven ‘at the coming commencement, according to advices received at the headquarters of the Yale Alumni University Fund asso- ¢lation in this city today. Around a * campus that is being tufned into a camp of field artillery, naval and coast defense, engineer corps, aerial patrol and observation, medical and other units, the alumni of classes from three Yyears to half a century back will mobilize to shout their slogan—*“For God, for Country and for Yale.” As the resuit of this patriotic pllgrimage, not only will all the men and work of Yale be devated to defense training on a large scale, but support to tide the suniversity over the critical period of its sacrifice of students and service to the government will be offered, it is prophesied by the men who are sounding the sentiment of the return- _Ing sraduates. Instead of campus celebrations that in time of peace are prepared for-the members of the many classes at com- mencement reunions, the alumni who are ready to rally at Yale this year Will find. thejr college either empty of students or an organized war post with every available undergraduate in uniform. Already many ‘units of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps ars beginning daily drills in artillery tac- tics a surprise before the doors of the Mormitories, while the harhor swarms with students enrolled ' in the Yale Naval Training Unit and the Coast Defense Reserve. In addition, a num- ~ * ber of ‘Aerial Coast Patrol units, made i up of the New Haven undergraduates, are flying in various parts of the country, and an engineer corps and {* mobile field 'hospital units are in process of formation. Great Financial. Loss. { “%With many of these soldier students sure to be called away from their college courses as soon as they are trained for service, the university is today facing a financial sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of dollars an- nually in the:. consequent curtailment of tuition and room rent fees. Fol- lowing' a conference to be called next month -by the college. treasury and alumni’ fund officials, a statement of fhis serious situation that qwwst be faced by Yale as a patriotic duty will be dratn up for presentation to the graduates at their commencement " council. Every man who has been educated at New Haven will be given the opportunity to add te-his pledge to support his country a. giarantee of JBis willingness to keep Yale alive through her alumni fund,.to which every - graduate may contnhu'.e any mount. “Next to God and country, Yale is being remembered by her graduates ven in these (trying times, as our pmmunications from alumni all over Mhe country show,” said Henry 8. ‘Brooks, chairman of the Yale: Alumni University Fund association’ at its #dquarters, 50 Vanderbilt avenue, n this city today. “At this most memorable reunion in Yale history, _Wg.are being assured, an army of Yale men will meet, first of all to help their country, and then to help Yale in .its Druem_ emergenc: GIANTS’ BIG LEAD *.

Hartford, April 30.—After careful study of the state’s conditions and needs, the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply has announced the plan by which the principal part of its drive for increased production of food crops this summer will be made. The individual towns and cities are the units by which the work will be undertaken. The town clerks of the towns will be the local agents of the committee in their several communi- ties. In the cities, the Chambers of Commerce or some other bodies or individuals designated by the mayors will direct the campaign. In every town in Connecticut where there is no city government, the town clerk has received a letter from Gov- ernor Marcus H. Holcomb appoint- ing him the local agent in the food production work and calling upon him for the fullest co-operation. The mayors of cities have received letters informing them of detalls of the campaign; asking for their co-opera- tion and requesting them to designate local agents. The organization of a junior agri- cultural army, through the co-opera- tion of the school principals, has been undertaken and is expected to provide hundreds of competent schoolboys to work in the flelds of Connecticut farmers this summer. " Important Service to Nation. It is being pointed out by the com- mittee of food supply that service in the production of food is as import- ant to the nation in the war as serv- ice in the munitions factories or on the battlefleld. It is emphasized, however, that men not eligible for military duty are the ones wanted for the ‘Wgricultural army. The move- ment is not to interfere with the armed forces of the nation. The man not eligible for military or naval serv- ice, or ‘in the making of munitions or .|any other essential occupation aiding the successful conduct of the war, will be expected to “do his bit” by active, positive aild in the production of food. The food supply committee will at- tack ‘its problem of increasing the state’s food production from every possible angle. It has announced em- phatically that it will in no way in- terfere with the many organized lo- cal efforts throughout the state seek- ing to gain the same end. Its object, it is declared, will be to encourage all these efforts and. to co-ordinate the work throughout the state. Prac- tical advice on food production and conservation will-be provided through its efforts. ¢ Practieal Plan ved. The committee’s ca: lly-prepared plan of handling its biggest problems through the agency of the town clerks is now announced for the first time. The method to be followed differs, so far as can be learned, from that be- ing followed in similar work in other states, and is considered the most practical plan for handling the prob- lem yet evolved in the country. Pledge Banks Ready- Thousands of pledge blanks are be- ing printed by the committee bearing the state seal and a call to agricul- tural service signed by Governor Hol- comb. These will be obtainable in every city, town, village and hamlet throughout Connecticut. Drug stores, department stores, churches, schools, lodges and business places of all sorts will be the distribution points. The newspapers, too, will have supplies of the blanks available for their readers. Having obtained one of these blanks, volunteers for the agricultural army in Connecticut—men, women, boys and girls all are eligible for this service—will sign a pledge for serv- ice under one of the following five sub-divisions: ©1. Farm Production. 2. Planting Home Gardens. 3. Labor. 4. Home Canning. 5.- Garden Supervisors. The next step will be the signing of the pledge by the individual. This done, it will be returned to the town clerk who, in turn, will forward it to Hartford for recording by Governor Holcomb’s food production commit- tee. Insignia for Volunteefs. Service in increasing and conserv- ing the food supply of the state is not to go unrecognized, for Governor Hol- comb has directed his food production committee to order a vast number of service buttons, and this insignia will be given to each person who volunteers under any of the headings on the blank to assist in this vital work. These buttons have been ordered, and will be put in the hands of town clerks without delay when they are received.

HONOR MEMORY 0 FIRST PRESIDENT Allied Gommission Conducts Cere- monies at Mount Vernon Washington, April 30.—The repre- sentatives of France and Great Britain, here as the guests of the American na- tion, joined yesterday in paying tribute at Mount Vernon to the memory of George Washington. Arthur James Balfour, British secretary of state for foreign affairs and Rene Viviani, French minister of justice, standing before the tomb of the first president, with the flags of three great democra- cles floating together above it, spoke with deep emotion of the common fight for freedom in which all three were together engaged, while Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre, marshal of France, laid on the marble sarcopha- gus with his own hands a bronze palm wound with the French tricolor. A card attached to a huge wreath of lilles placed beside the French palm bore the following words in Mr. Bal- four's handwriting: “Dedicated by the British mission to the immortal memory of George ‘Washington, soldler, statesman, patri- ot,, who would have rejoiced to see the country of which he was by birth a citizen and the country his genius called into existence fighting side by side to save mankind from a. military despotism.” Seldom it seemed to the sml“ group of men and women who gathered in front of Washington’s tomb to watch the brief ceremony, has there been =a more impressive scene on American soil, the more notable because of its simplicity. As Mr. Balfour himself re- marked to a bystander, referring to Mount Vernon: “It's beautiful, it's so homelike.” TIn the assemblage were the members of the French and Brit- ish missions, the French and British ambassadors, American cabinet offi- cers, and high officers of the United States army and navy. The party ‘went down the Potomac to the Wash- ington estate, fourteen miles from this city, as the guests of Secretary Dan- fels, on the Mayflower, the presiaev\t's yacht. It was the second time ‘that the ‘memory of the leader of the American revolution and the founder of the Re- public had thus been honored by a Briton. The first o=casion was in 1860, when King Fdward, then Prince of Wales, visited Mount Vernon. It was, however, the first time that a British flag had been raised over Washington's tomb. M. Viviani spoke first at the formal ceremonies. Standing with bared head before the barred entrance to the tomb, he told of the veneration with which France regarded Washington. He spoke of the aid which had been given the United States by Rocham- beau and Lafayette, and of the emo- tion with which the French people saw this country again joined in arms for & war against tyranny.
