York—Improvement n:rrovu ot uk-(mnmnn ml-. 00+ - MEDIEVAL ATNOT CALLED INTO USE Dr. Guy Otis Brewster of Dover, N. J., inventor of a bullet preof head- gear and jacket, tried them out against a bullet shot by Sergeant George Chis- well, a sharpshooter of the Fifth regi- ment, national guard, New Jersey. The doctor stood sixty feet away from the sharpshooter, and the bullet had an estimated speed of 2,740 feet per. second, with an :impact of 2,400 pounds. The sergeant shot directly at ti doctor’s heart, and the bullet was deflected without even denting the lot. The entire outfit weighs less-than twenty pounds, and a sol- dier wearing the outfit can maneuver with & gun and bayopet, march and charge with almost equal facility to the soldier in ordinary uniform, and if hit with a bullet the effect would be about as great as if he had been hit with a pea shooter, it is said. The photo shows Dr. Brewster, the inventor of the bullet proof headgear and jacket, in national guard uni- form, ROOSEYELT 'l'0 RUSSIA Colonel Warns Duma to Go Easy and Not Kick Over Traces—Caution, the Watchword.

The count will deliver ‘thé message there. Wfter urging the Russlan leaders 'to see that their striking victory is used with such' moderation and wis- dom as to prevent all possibility of re- action,” the former president ex- presses ‘‘the keenest sympathy” for their program of religious, political and industrial freedom, and adds: “In any such &reat movement as yours the danger at the point you have reached comes, almost as much from well-meaning, unbalanced ex- tremists who favor the revolution as from the reactionaries themselves. “As you have put it, the torch of | enlightenment fired "the revolution. See that the light of the torch is not dimmed Jy any unwise and extreme action. Not only for yout sakes, but for our own sakes, we beg you exactly a8 by courage and disinterestedness you have forced through the revolu- tion so by wisdofn and self-control you secure for your country the per- manent benefits of the revolution,” MILITARY REGISTRATION Oompleumlnl‘lnmlhysotm. ment of 7,000,000 Men to Be Made Possible by War Dept. ( Washington, May 2.—Registration of approximately sevén million men for military service will be complet- ed within fitf€€n days aftér the wa: | department’'s machinery has been set in motion.

'SUNDAY DRINK REACHES SENATE Ylould Authorize Hotels to. Sell i {0 Bona Fide Guests Hartford, May' 3.—The long looked for excise bill which would give hotel proprietors the right to sell liquor on Sunday was reported to the senate today. It has been claimed that there has been more activity over this bill than over any other measure before the General Assembly this session. | The report is & divided one, some members being for it and senate chairman Quigg and House Chairman Smith recommending that it ought not to pass. The bill would give coun— try commissioners the right to license the keeper of a well established and reputable hotel to sell liquors to bona fide guests on every day of the week except between 12 at night and 6 in the morning. On Sunday liquor would have to be sold with food in the din- ing room. A special lcense would cost $250 in addition to the other Wi- cense fees. Thirty per cent. of this special fee would go to the state, ten per cent. to the county and sixty per cent. to the town or city. The Men’s League of the Newfleld Methodist church of Bridgeport peti- tioned for legislation which would glve the governor power to close. sa- loons in-the war period. The bill reorganizing the state health department . by creating a health council of six members, three of whom/shall be physicians, and giv- ing these council extremely wide pow- ers in many directions was "placed upon passage in the senate. After a vigorous debate with . the democrats, objectors to the bill, it was tabled un- til tomorrow to permit the printing of amendments which curtailed the powers of the council as set forth in the original draft. < The bill had been under much scrut- iny because one section in it gave the health council jurisdiction over many subjects which are not directly under sucl a body. In other particulars its provisions were not specific. The excise committee, today an- nounced that it will give a hearing next Tuesd: on various petitions which favor slation to give gov- ernor the power to close: saloons at his discretion as a war measure. The house adopted the emergency bill which places heavy penalties dn persons who have explosives in their possession or trespass on property where explosives are stored. It adopted after long debate the bill creating a lien of $155,000 in favor of the state on land, buildings and equipment of the Connecticut School for Girls at Middletown. It granted a, charter to the Danielson and Willi- mantic Railway 'company and re- ceived favorable Teparts on bills al- lowing cities and boroughs to estab- lish sewer commissions and to appoint town managers. Unfavorable on the bill extending home rule to all cities and towns nnd’ tabled the bill for the legislative ‘‘sauvenir” which the sen- ate has passed. The senate a,dopted the amendments to the workmen's compensation law {n the same form as reported by the committee, voting down amendments offered by Senator O'Sullivan relating.| to occupatidnal diseases, HAVOG BY U-BOATS GREAT, SAYS LANE -~ | (Continued from First Page.) had been suspicions that the enemy submarines which destroyed allied and neutral shipping had been finding their way out from - enemy ports through neutral waters. He ‘added that this subject had been under con- sideration from time to time. 93 IN COMPANY E —— Two More Enlistments Bring Numbéy of Men Almost Up to Authorized * Strength. Two more men enlisted in Company E, First Infantry, yesterday brings the |' total number of enlisted men in that command up to ninety-one, not\ in- cluding the two commissioned officers. This is the largest nuimber of men Company E has had in many years, if not at any time. This morning | three more men presented themselves for enlistment and have been sent to Hartford for examination. At the present rate of recruiting Lieutenant Griffin expects to have his command up to the full authorized strength of 100 men within the next few days. The last two men enlisted are Frank Giabowski and Frank Wierezrek. Eighteen of the new recryits have been fully equipped and are doing duty with the regulars.
