HEALY, Notary Public. 4 | | All over America men are going through the motions indicated in the photographs with the dthers that go to make up the American manual of arms. Thousands must learn these things.‘in order, military men are agreed, to fit themselves for service in the army. They are a necessary part of military training and disci- pline. ' ‘These regulations are uniform throughout the United States and are used in the training of regulars, sail- ors, natlonal guardsmen, etc. By uni- formity possible confusion arising from conflicting regulations is avoid- ed, and men drilled in one part of the country have no difficulty in rec- ognizhhg and obeying orders. when they are transferred to another sec- tion. ' The mianual of arms helps maté- rially in improving the physical con- dition of the soldiers, although the training of the body is not its pri- mary purpose. For that end the ex- jperts have devised other exercises, which are known “getting up” drills. ?

All of the world’s armies are equipped with such apparatus. The Germans SARCASM REPLY TO AMERICAN ATTITUDE | German Editor Attempts to Deprecate | Part United States Oan Play in & Great War. The Hague, May . 7.—The Berlin Zeitung publishes two sarcastic and ccntemptuous articles on American assistance to the Entente allies, with especially sarcastic references to the efforts of John Wanamaker and Mar- shall Field, 3d. The paper says that the American aim was to supply food, ammunition, troops, and ships, but that it has now been decided only to send troops when the Entente can spare the shipping from food supvlies, so they, will be a —_ especially have advanced the art of keeping their men supplied with hot food when it is needed. A popular ‘nickname for the fleld kitchens in -Germany is “Goulash cannon,” and no doubt our men will find a similar nick- ‘name for ‘the ovens. long time coming- As for ships, ‘two s wuw cuayn aeliberation with Balfour's commission showed that even America cennot work miracles, so that the shipbuilding of America, plus that of the Entente, for the present is un- equal to the demands made by sub- marines.” The only remaining aid ‘“out of mountainous milliards promised de- velops a puny advance of a hundred million dollars for Italy and France. Italy gets pocket money to the tune of twenty-five millions.” But Ameri- cc’s millionaires are mobilizing after all. “What we Germans dreaded in our heart of hearts becomes a terrible reality,” the paper continues. “Ameri- can millionaires propose to take the field with muscles and money bags against the German empire.” Then follows a long account of John ‘Wanamaker's offer to his employes to keep their places open and increase Itheir salaries on their return, and a | contemptuous reference to patriotism | of American employes, who, the paper says, refused to join the colors un- less their salaries were raised immed- ately. ¢ The fact that young.Marshall Field has joined the Illinois cavalry is thus referred to: “If one is born Marshall Field, one has a certain obligation, and also a chance of becoming Field Marshal. Anyway, he is not likely to have to bieed anything but money.” The writer ends by saying that the real danger from America will come after the war and that for the pres- ent the Entente’s drunken' fit of re- jolcing over America’s promised aid will be followed by a nasty morning after headache of disappointment. MENACE TO RUSSIA / IN TROOPS’ ACTIONS Geleral Gurko Wams Soldiers in East ,Not to Fraternize With ‘Germans. Petrograd, May 6, via London, May 7~—~General Gurko, commander on the western front, has issued an order declaring that the fraternizing of Russians with the enemy troops must be stoppéd. He declares that such action, which has become a common practice, enables the enemy to learn Russian military dispositions and also, by causing a lull on the Russian front, leaves the Germans free to concentrate against the British and French. General Gurko warns the troops that if the fighting comes to a stand- still in France the Germans will throw all their forces against the Russians, who will not be in readiness to repel the attack. He says thyt three divisions of Germans have al- ready been transferred from the Rus- sian front and that others are follow- ing, including artillery and aircraft. The order concludes with an ardent appeal to the troops, in the name of the emancipation of enslaved nations, to do' their duty toward Russia and her allies. It says. ‘Write the first pages of the history of new Russia with blood if need be.” Representatives of the Belgian and Serblan embassies have published an appeal to the Russians, recalling the sufferings of their respective coun- tries, and asking the Russians not to leave them to their fate. The coun- cil of deputies has voted support of the Russian “loan of freedom” by a large majority. L LIEUT, ROBINSON A PRISONER. London, May 7.—News was re- ceived. today from Geneva confirming | the Teport that Lieut. Willlam Lee Robinson of the royal flylng . corps, has not been killed, as announced last month, but is a prisoner of the Germans. Lieutenant Robinson, who came into prominence last year by bringing down a Zeppelin which took part in a raid on London, is held at Karlsruhe. b WONAN AT BOTTON | Two Men Love Same Girl and Fight About It Differences of personal opinion as to the status of a race for the heart and hand of a fair Hartford avenue damsel, differences stimulated by the contents of a keg of beer, caused, ac- cording to testimony before Judge James T, Meskill in police court today, a bloody and lively fight with um- brellas, fists, bricks and other weapons in the north end of the city early yes- terday. All of the seven accused bore signs of the conflict, both at the timc of the arrests and today. After a lengthy hearing, during which there Wwas much difference in ' testimony relative ta those responsible for the rumpus and other details, stiff fines were imposed on several while others were discharged:. It was testified that, after a keg of beer had been bought, there was a difference between Joseph Ponominsky of 104 Grove street and Benny Drusilowski of 287 Washington street. The debaters were joined by reinforcements, it was testified, and the battle was on. After the after- math today fines of $10 and costs each had been affixed to Benny, Bromislaw Miowski of 64 Booth street, Benny Holkovich of 138 Winter street and Adolph Kolski of 64 Booth street for breach of the peace and assault, Ponaminsky, John Zamonski of 237 ‘Washington street and Frank Chuska- vich of 66 Orange street were dis- charged. Policemen Michael Meehan, Daniel J. Cosgrove and James Mc- Cabe figured in the arrest, Cleanliness is next to godliness, ac- cording to the old adage, but that did not interfere with' lYvely differences at 88 Franklin street late Saturday night relative to the amount of watcr used in Saturday night baths. As'a result, Policeman Frank R. Hahn ar rived at the house in response to emergency calls'and James Becrowlas and his brother-in-law, Angelo Lin- dini, & boarder at the house, were ar- raigned in court charged with breach of the peace, their arguments having caused considerable’ excitement in the neighborhood, Sebastiano ' Parra is owner of the tenement but was not implicated. Becrowlas was fined 35 and costs while Lindini was dis- charged. Attornéy A. A. Greenberg appeared as colinsel in the case. Found guilty of being implicated in a strenuous rumpus on Lilac streeet Saturday night, during which a black- jack was, used, the combatants were battered up, bitten fingers, lacerated scalps and mourning optics being dis- played at the hearing today, Michael Kopa of 56 Church street was fined $20 and cgsts for assault. Andrew Perren of Lilac street, charged with assault was discharged. Attorney M. D. Saxe appeared for Perren. Super- numerary Policeman Albert Sharp, on duty at the gas house, heard the sounds of battle from a distance, in- vestigated and separated the com- Jbatants with much difficulty. Dr. Joseph Walsh was called to headquar- ters to give surgical attention to Kopka. { Adolph Carlson of 335 New Park avenue, Hartford, was fined $10 and costs for assault on Amelia Tesien of 66 Dwight street. Wassil Jernoski of 199 Washington street was discharged from breach of the peace charges, James Burns of Hartford, charged with intoxication, made such a force- ful plea to go because of its being planting time with much money to*be made and little opportunity for temp- tation that he was discharged with a warning. Gustav Callivan of 416 Main street was fined $3 and costs for intoxication, breach of the peace charges being nolled. Frank War- licki of 98 Broad street was fined $3 and costs on similar charges. Today's court session was one of the longest and heaviest in number of cases for a long time. Thirtytwo offenders were . up before Judge Meskill for judgment.
