YOUNG MEN OFFER SERVICES TO MAYOR (Continued from nm Page) countenanced. In brief, the plan of these young men was to ruise, by vol- untary enlistment, New Britain's quota for the conscription army. With §0 or 60 original valunteers, these men believed that they could secure enough additional volunteers to make up a company of men equal to any number which might be called from this city for the conscription army. Further details of their plan called for these volunteers to be accepted by the war department in lieu of the conscripted. men gnd thus New Brit- ain would be saved the stigma, ifiit can be deemed such, of having to draft its quota of men for the na- tion's army. These plans were pure- ly tentative, but the men agreed thut if' the war department would accept the proposition, relieve New Britain of the draft if the desired number would volunteer, they would agree to recruit. by volunteer methods the quota called. Already some of the best known young men in the city have pledged themselves to join such an organization and they have been | given assurances that with the co- operation of special committees, com- posed of men who are eligible for the draft and who have pledged themselves to enlist, they would be able to recruit the company. Tonight at 9:30 o’clock a delega- tion of these men will meet with the mayor at his office and plans for re- cruiting will be discussed. It is planned to have a number of young men, each of whom 'plans to enlist himself, work to induce others to join this volunteer branch. Regular Army Applications. In addition to the 35 men who have already appMled for enlistment in the regular army and whose names have been published, Corporal Boudouin has received applications from the following, bringing the total number upito 47: Bernard Moffitt of 42 Farm- Ington avenue, a former regular army man; John Sargis of 450 Main étreet, a graduate of a college in Persia, to the fleld artillery; Philip J. McKeon of 48 Whiting street; Merlin J. Lamb of Plainville, in the medical corps; H. ‘W. Hitchcock of East Hampton; Adam Strajkowski of 35 Clark street; Edward E. Bennett, Hotel Bronson; Leo P. Vallirn, 16 Cherry street; Francis P. Kerin,; 3 Sexton street George Sanmaria, Berlin; Dennis J. Fusaro, 246 Cherry street; and Julius Litke of 232 Arch street. - ‘With the National Guard. - Today there were a number of ap- plications for enrollment in the Na- tional Guard and the men are await- ing physical examinations. Yesterday a score or more of applicants were ex;/ pmined, but only a comparatively few were accepted. Those acdepted for Company E, bringing the total muster roll of ,the company up to 117 men and two officers, were: Joseph Gacek, Edward D. O'Connell, P. Gurzwski, Stephen Charamut, John Grajewski, and Willlam Neuman. Those accept- ed and enlisted in Company I were Alexander Golubiewski, Alexander J. Sinsky, Joseph Bureck, and Carl G. Anderson. For Company D of Bristol those enlisted were Lawrence B. Fitz- gerald, George I. Scott and Arthur A. Roberts. It was stated at the armory this morning that several men who applied for enlistment fafled to ap- pear for examination. Among them, it was stated, are Joseph W. Dillon, Guiseppe Cuneglso, Santi Motta and Burdette Oliver. An attempt is being made to have a short band concert at the green to- night to stimulate further recruiting. Company E is encamped at Walnut Hill park and {s attracting consider- able attention, many people visiting the park to see a real military camp. It was also announced today that re- cruits for the hospital corps of the U. 8. Army would be accepted for a few days more. Campaign for Volunteers Fails. ‘Washington, June 30.—President Wilson's call for volunteers to bring the regular army up to its full war strength of 300,000 men by today has not been realized.” War department figures indicate that'there is still a shortage of 50,000 men. This discrep- ancy probably will be relieved by tak- ing ,reservists from the ranks of the new selective army. ‘With “recruiting week’ at an end, only .nine states hrve furnished the complete quota requested. Last Drive at Boston. Boston, June 30.—A - recruiting rally in common today will be the final effort of the regular army week here to stimulate enlistments. THIRD INCREASE IN MILK COST. New York, June 80.—The third advance in the price of milk since the dairymen’s league won its milk strike over the dsitributors last fall .will go into effect with tomorrow's deliveries. According to the an- nouncement grade A milk will cost 12%c a quart, an advance of half a while grade B. will retail at 11%ec, an increase of half a cent. Certified milk will sell at 18c a quart while buttermilk will be. advanced from 8 to 10 cents a quart. Con- densed milk will advance from 10c to 11c for half a pint and light cream from 12c:to 13c a half pint. It was sald there would be no change in the price of heavy cream, which is now 18c a half pint. AUTO OVERTURNS; TWO HURT. Winsted, June 30.—Roy Cahoon, 37, is suffering from a fractured skull and Otis Bellar ,32, of broken ribs in the ospital here as the result of the overturning of the - automobile in which they were riding in Roberts- ville, in the town of Colebrook today. Both men come from New Baston. The car, which carries mail, and was driven by Willlam * Fox, overturned after striking a large stone. Fox was uninjured, $5.00 to $25.00. Henry Clews’ ‘Weekly Letter § (Special to the Herald). Th'o war makes slow progress. There are signs -of internal dissen- sions and weakness within Germany, but the German military leaders are apparently still unable to realize the futility "of keeping up the struggle. The extraordinary success of the Lib- erty Loan and the enthusiastic re- sponse to the Red Cross appeal, not to speak of the energetic though un- seen activity of our military prepar: tions, should convince Germany’s rul- ers that, with America’'s resources and power added to the experience of the Allies, a victory far the Cen- tral Powers is impossible; also that continuation' of the war, bad as it may be for the Allies, is infinitely worse for Germany, which is com- mitting suicide by bleeding it.!?lf to. death. Yet, in spite of Germany's blindness, there is one feature of the war that offers encouragement, and that is the recovery of Russia. Slow- ly and surely she is pulling herself to- gether after the shock of disorgani- zation which naturally followed the revolution. She, too, like France, has been gloriously reborn. Through out the Russian Empire the tide of. democracy is rushing fast, somewhat wildly in- spots, but with a sweep forward into better things not easy to recognize amid inevitable. confusion. All that is needed 1s skilful pilotage in avoiding the rocks and steering clear of the currents of radicalism’ that might easily wreck the ship of state. Ever since the Russo-Jap- anese war, education has been doing its beneficent work in Russia, thanks in no small degree to the Japanese themselves; and it is hardly conceiv- able that the new Russian leaders, a group of strong, able and high-mind+ ed men, will treacherously | desert their Allies for the sake of Germany, which is not only her enemy, but has nothing to give in return for a sep- arate peace. Russia may be tempor- arily weakened by the revolution, but the masses of that great Empire are sane. They are not going to surren- der their newly gained liberty by turning their backs upon those who helped them gain it, and throwing themselves upon the mercies of & doomed autocracy. It is no small source of satisfaction to find that a distinguished American is playing a highly important part in the resur- rection of Russia, and to Mr. Root must be given a large share of credit for the recent turn of the tide in that vast. Empire. I begin to see the commencement of the end of this war, that end is to mean victory for the Allies, which will secure for us and all other democratic .govern- merits permanent peace and prosper- ity, based on justice and righteous- ness. The sooner our antagonists recognize this the better it will be for them and for humanity all over the world. The mobilization of American in- dustry upon a war basis is about completed. By means aof the Council of National Defense the various lead- ing industries have been brought largely under government control. This organization is a body of big business men voluntarily co-operating with the government for the purpose of concentrating the whole industrial power of the United States upon efficient conduct of the war. Many of these men are patriotically giving their whole time to helping the gov- ernment without stint and without pay. By this means the derange- ment of industry inevitable ' during war has been largely minimized, and as a result many of the knotty prob- lems rising from war conditions are being dealt with intelligently, prompt- ly and efficiently. Congress has given the president vast power over indus- try, purely as a war measure; power to regulate production dnd power to limit or fix prices. These powers would have created serious apprehen- sions a few months aga, while now they are accepted as necessary and in many cases advantageous to the great need in view. No ruler, and certainly no prestdent of, the United States, ever had such vast and varied powers conferred upon him as Mr. Wilson. In fact, with many it is questionable whether too much responsibility has not been imposed upan the adminis- tration, overburdening it with tre- mendous and complex obligations, This is especially true of the food problem, which has been unfortun- ately handicapped by intrusion of the prohibition issue. The problem of prices is also one of the mast difficult the administration has to. deal with As saild by Secretary Lane the other day, when our sons are going to the trenches, sacrificing their lives, it is no time for men. at home to ®o There are a few such individuals, and yet not many; the great body of business men being willing and ready . to . patriotically conform to reasonable regulation. A better tone developed on the stock market owing to the improve- ment in monetary conditions. Call loans dropped from 6 per cent to 2 per cent. as a result of the Federal Reserve bank's action in depositing $128,000,000 in New York banks; also the afrival of nearly $90,000,000 foreign gold. The period has now been passed requiring extraordinary preparations for these payments as well as the principal July. disburse- ments, which this vear will figure at nearly . $320,000,000, or $18,500,000 profiteering. 50 shs American Hdw. 50 shs Colt’s Arms 50 shs §tanley Works - 50 shs Peck, Stow & Wilcox. 50 shs N.

It was expected that some lines would receive liberal concessions, while roads in other sections would have to be contented with smaller pay- ments owing to varying conditions in different parts of the country. In consequence, some railroad shares. showed considerable strength while others failed to’sympathize. In the industrial shares temporary weakness prevailed owing to uneasiness regard- ing action of the government upon the price problem. Needless to say, excessive war profilg will be quickly ended should the government inter- fere by fixing prices; although it has been intimated that no harsh action, in this respect need be anticipated. Under the stimulus of war commodity prices, especially stesl, continue ‘to soar upwards. Demand continuea to autrun supply. ,and excessive infla- tion naturally induces more or. less caution. In business circles there is a distinct ' undertone of conference, based upon our strong financial posi- tion and the certainty that the war will insure continued industrial ac- tivity in many directions. War ulti- mately means a large waste of natural resources, and it is upon American supplies that Europé, as well as our- selves, will mainly depend; their continued activity. “: Gene: business continues fairly _active, though slowing down as mid-summer approaches.
