SMILES OF COURAGE FORCE TEARS AWAY Mothers, Sisters and Sweethearts Bid Godspeed to 150 of New Britain’s Finest, Going to Make"‘\vorld Safe for Democracy”’—March Over Route of 1898 and Summer of 1916—Camp Funston 8 Memory. Grimly attired In the garments of war, but each man’s face wreathed in smiles at the prospects of an early opportunity to fight for his country, members of Company E, First Con- necticut Infantry, in barracks here since a state of war was declared with Germany, left the armory early this morning and at 6:59 entrained at the railroad station for the mobilization camp at Yale Field, New Haven. They expect to be sent to the training camp at Charlotte, N, C., by the mid- dle of next month. The departure of the boys of Company E was marked by a patriotic demonstration at the depot and, as the fina] farewells were said, the grimness of war was more apparent than heretofore and as the long troop train steamed slowly out there was hardly a dry eye among the several hundred mothers, fathers, sisters, sweethearts and friends who had assembled thero. The soldler cheerful, but beneath the mask of a smile and cheering words, there must have been a feeling of sadness as they saw the familiar sights of their home town, the town whose honor they have en- listed to defend, fade rapidly into the distance. Company I, New Britain's other crack infantry company, en- trained at Willimantic this morning, and arrived at the New Haven mo- bilization camp a short time after Company E. Company E Leaves., Camp Funston at Walnut Hill park, where Company E men have been Hv- ing for the past few weeks, is no more. Yesterday afternoon and last evening, when the order came to en- train thissmormng, the men proceed- ed to strike their terts and pack their camp impediments. This was done under the direction of Supply Sergeant ‘Walter Boder and his detail. The big tents, trunks, kitchen utensils and all «,other equipment, other than that which each man carries for himself, were loaded onto automobile trucks and sent to New Haven. The soldiers spent their last night in New Britain at the armory and at 4 o'clock this morning Bugler Gregory sounded the <all that woke every man for the ac- tivities of the day. After a hurried breakfast, an inspection of equipment and the roll call, Top Sergeant James Kelly formed the company. Lieuten- ant Ashley J. Griffin, acting captain, then gave the order for which the men have been waliting impatiently since April. It was: “Company, fall in.” Instantly every one of the 150 men stood erect, eves and head to the front. Then came the serias of com- mands which brought the soldiers out of the armory and into the street, where they were given a big ovation. The march from the armory to the depot was one never to be forgotten. The procession was headed by a platoon of police in charge of Chief of Police Willlam J. Rawlings, who, as a lleutenant, marched out to the Spanish war at the head of ‘his com- pany and over the same route 19 years ago. The others in the platoon wera Officers Clarence Lanphear, Alfred E. -Atwater, Michael J. Cosgrove, Charles McCarthy, Charles Johnson, Denis Nealon, John J. King, Fred Wagner, Patrick Quirk and Willlam Hayes. Then came the American Band, play- ing martial airs. Sergeant William Rice. another Spanish war veteran, carried the National Colors and then came Company E, headed by First Tieutenant Ashley J. Griffin and Sec- ond Lieutenant Robert V. K. Harris. Down Arch street hill and into Main street, over the same route that the Spanish War volunteers marched in 1898, over the same route they themselves marched last summer when they went out for the Mexican border, over the same route that Company I marched early in April when they left town last time, the boys marched. They presented a most inspiring sight. Sad Scenes at Depot. At the depot the companv was drawn up before the cars and then there was a short interval given the men during which time they had an opportunity to say good bye. Crowds of men and women surged around the khaki clad men. There were many heart-rending scenes. One mothe who has two sons in the compan) broke down and wept piteously as she issed each one good bye. A father whose son is in the company and who 1s his only kin, swallowed hard as he grasped the hand of his soldier boy and as they looked into each other's 2ves the vounger man was heard to EER “It's all right dad., I'll he back again."

There is a strong Drobability that within the next few months New Britain will have added to its other manufacturing industries, an plane factory. Yesterday three New York men, who declined to give their names, visited the city and hired an automoblle to take them to the old Monroe-Eastwood pen factory in Seymour park. They carefully in- spected the entire factory and told thelr chauffeur, as well as the fac- tory plant watchmen, that they rep- resented an airplane concern and were thinking seriously of purchasing this plant and beginning operations here. Further than this statement they weré uncommunicative, but seemed to be favorably impressed with the site. ‘While existing airplane plants are working to full capacity and extend- ing their facllitles, entirely new fac- tories are being developed to turn out planes and parts in quantity. The automobile industry is being mobil~ ized to supply the new type Amertcan motors, which will be standardized down to the last rivet. By this means it will be possible to have, all im- portant engines manufactured in great quantities. The immediate program calls for upward of 20,000 airplanes, thousands of which are to be avallable for ser- vice over the fighting lines of Burope when the weather opens for big mili- tary operations next spring. i HARTFORD TROOPS LEAVE Biggest Early Morning Crowd in His- tory of Capitol City Cheers Soldiers on Way to Yale Fleld. air-. Hartford, July 23.—Mayor Frank A. ‘Hagarty and other members of the city government crowded the platform in front of the municipal building be= fore 7 o'clock this morning to bid farewell to the Frst Regiment, Con- necticut infantry. A crowd which was perhaps larger than had ever gathered in Hartford at such an early hour blocked the en- trances to the siding. The parade was headed by Major John L. Purcell. Col. Richard J. Goodwin elected to go directly to the train and superintend the work of getting the equipment on board. There was no difficulty in starting the train once the men were there. The units leaving this morning were composed of the First infantry, Company G, headed by Captan Harry Bissell; Company H of Hartford, un- der Captain Clarence M. Thompson, this being the first line company to reach war strength on paper; Com- pany M of Winsted, under Captain Amos Beecheer; Company F of Hart. ford, under Captan Arthur F. Locke; a section of the sanitary detachment and unattached recrufts—some still minus uniforms, under Lieut. Ray W. Hal of Company F, and that part of the Machine Gun company which had not left Friday was commanded by | Lieut. Samuel Pickett. The battalion which passed in re- view today is historic in more than one way. Major Purcell announced this morning that it was the first in either of the two regiments in the state to reach full war strength, a record it has just achieved.

SEEDS OF DISCORD [RUSSIAN SOLDIERS PLANTED IN FRANCE Evidence of Discontent Among | Workmen Revealed in Senate NEGLIGENT—NHN—I—STER HIT M. Malvy of Department of Interior, Criticized for Not Stamping Out Propaganda to Organize Commlttee Like That in Russla. Paris, July ‘23.—Revolutionary ele- ments have been engaged in propa- ganda in France to discourage sol- diers and develop a demand for pre- mature peace, according to Senator Clemenceau, who at a meeting of the upper house of parliament today vig- orously attacked M. Malvy, minister of the interior, ccusing him of neg- lecting to take necessary measures against these persons. M .Clemenceau averred that these revolutionists had preached the or- ganization in France of a soldiers and workmen's committee similar to that in Russia. He attributed rare manifestations of discontent to that propaganda and asked why measures had not been taken to suppress it. M. Malvy replied that he had fol- lowed the policy of maintaining the so-called sacred union since the be- ginning of the war and held if that policy did not offer more heads of culprits it was nevertheless effective. He sald the police were ordered to pursue every illicit criminal enter- prise but he did not think the sen- ate wanted him to take a hostile at- titude toward the working class. Premier Ribot closed the debate with an ardent defense of M. Malvy. He said the organization of workmen could not be held responsible for the action ‘of anti-patriots who slip in among them. ‘“We are in the pres- ence of a campaign of perfidy which must not be misunderstood,” cried M. Ribot. ‘“‘Germany has need of peace and she wants to obtain it by no mat- ter what means.” “She has the hypocrisy continued Premier Ribot, “that she will make every effort to obtain an accord between all nations through an international tribunal while on the eve of the war she refused all arbitration.” The entire senate applauded M. Ribot continued: “A durable peace cannot be found- ed on militarism. It would be a perpetual menace and the league that has been formed to make the menace disappear will not be dissolved un- less Germany abandons its peace ideas of domination.” During the debate today the gen- eral policy of the cabinet was brought into question following consideration of the IKrench offensive of April 16 which has been severely criticized. Tt has been officially admitted that ser- jous faults were committed and that General Nivelle had been relieved of his command. The senate spent the entire after- noon and evening finishing in public discussions interpellations which had been subject of a three days’ debate behind closed doors. When the de- bate was closed a resolution signed by the presidents of the different groups of the senate, declaring con- fidence in the government, was HAND CHOPPED OFF Walter Kosswig's Chief Concern Was to say," and That Accident Should Not Become Known by His Wifc. Kosswig of 202 Hartford bookbinder employed by the New Britain Record Company. had his right hand chopped off at the wrist in a trimming machine at 11:55 o'clock this morning.

Petrograd, July 22.—The chaotic conditions prevailing on part of the Russian front was disclosed in a tele- gram sent to Premier Kerensky, the provisional government and Council of Workmen and Soldiers Delegates by the executlve committee and the commissioner of the proovisinal gov=- ernment with the Second army, on the southwestern front. The telegram announced the inauguration of stern measures to combat disaffection. “We unanimously recognize that the situation demands extreme meas- ures and efforts, for .everything must be risked to save the revolution from catastrophe,” the message reads. “The commander-in-chief on.the western front and the commanders of the Second army today have given orders to fire on. deserters-and runaways. “Let the country know the truth. Let it act without mercy. Let it find enough to strike those who by their cowardice are destroying Russia and the revolution.” Referring ‘to the threatened dis- turbance, the telegram says: “Most military units are in a state of com- plete disorganization. Their spirit for the offensive has utterly disappeared. They no longer listen to orders of their leaders and they neglect all ex- hartations of comrades even reply- ing by threats and shots . Some ele- ments voluntarily evacuate positions without even waiting for the approach of the enmy. “‘Cases are on record in which an order given to proceed with all haste to such and such a spot to assist com- rades in distress have been discussed for several hours at meetings, and re- inforcements consequently have been delayed several hours. “These troops abandon their posi- tions at the first shots of the enemy. For a distance of several hundred versts long flles of deserters, armed and unarmed, men in good health and robust, who have lost all shame and feel they can act altogether with im- punity, are proceeding to the rear, Frequently entire units desert in this manner.”” Gerensky Given Unlimited Power. The Council of Soldiers and Work- men’'s Delegates and Peasants of all Russia voted today ,after an all night session, to grant the government of Premier Kerensky ‘‘unlimited powers” under the title ‘‘government of na- tional safety” for the re-establishment of public order, both at the front and at home. There are indications that the Workmen’s and Soldiers’ council af- ter the events of the past week and all circumstances connected there- with are apprehensive of a counter revolution. The central committee has issued a manifesto calling local or- ganization of the revolutionary democ- racy and army to be ready any mom- ent to- rally round their political cen- ters, namely the councils of workmen and soldiers. Lieut. Dashkevitch and another executive committeeman of the Work- | men’s and Soldiers’ Council have been arrested. Lieut. Dashkevitch is charged with inciting the troops to remove the provisional gov- ernment. Rear Admiral Revealed Secret Orders.

A senate sub-committee today be- gan hearings on the trading with the enemy bill already passed by the house, with Secretary Redfield and others appearing to advocate prompt action. The bill is patterned after Great Britain’s trading with the enemy act. Its chief features are prohibitions against business intercourse with any country with which the United States is at war or its allles and provision for governmental seizure of property of alien enemies and enemy patents. President Wilson’s approval of the $640,000,000 aviation bill, passed by the senate Saturday, was necessary today to set in motion machinery for the creation of the greatest fieet of | air fighting craft in the world.

The bill was passed by the house about a month ago after a stubborn contest. Opponents attacked the measure on the ground that it was| “pork barrel” legislation and cham- pions defending it as a war time measure. But few changes were made in the bill as reported to the senate from the commerce committee. President Wilson returned early to- day after a three-day trip to Hamp- ton Roads aboard the naval yacht Mayflower. INCREASEXR. R.
