L. Cash recelved at national head- quarters up to July 12, $2,315,000. The fund will exceed $5,000,000. The amount eventually subscribed before Dec. 31, 1917 will bo deter- mined by the actual needs that will develop as the Young Men’s Christian Association of the United States car- ries out its policy of following the flag and our enlisted men wherever they go. The Bureau of Finance has endeav- ored to promote the fund so as to keep a half million ahead of the ap- parent need, in order to have a con- tingent fund, always available. The rapidly increasing and insistent meeds made necessary by the movement of the large number of American troops overseas and the unexpected oppor- tunity to serve enlisted men in this country make a $5,000,000 fund an absolute necessity and those in posi- tion to best judge as to the future will not be surprised if the combined budgets of the War Work Council for 1917 aggregate $6,000,000. State Promotion of Campaign. The splendid co-operation of the state committees is larsely responsi- hle for the remarkable success of the campaign which has been quietly conducted with a minimum of na- tional publicity. Through the leader- ship of state campalgn committees over 1,000 cities and towns have con- ducted local campaigns. Every state accepted its goal cheerfully and en- thusiastically promoted the campaign. The following report of the campaign rank indicates the standing of the states according to official reports re- ceived by the Bureau of Finance up to July 20. The next report will in- dicate a shifting of positions among the states. Fach state will, as a rule eventually report a total amount subscribed that will be in line with i resources.

New York leads the group | and country with §1,146,000 sub- scribed. New Jersey leads the group with largest per cent. increase over goal assigned.

Nc- vada leads group with largest per cent. increase over goal assigned. Budgets are based on subscriptions as reported. Bills are paid with cash. The fact that over 50 per cenl. of subscriptions have been paid and forwarded to National Headquarters assures the War Work Council that collections by state and local organ- izations will be pushed so that there will be no embarrassment through lack of funds. ional goals, as result of the ad- ditional needs that have rapidly de- veloped at home and abroad, call for $5,000,000 pledged and $3,000,000 paid Sept. 1. As a rule payments are forwarded through the state office. Checks that are sent direct to Na- tional office should be made payablo to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer. 1t will help to give full assurance of adequate support if each state can complete its canvass béfore Kov. 1 Thirty states have already raised amounts in excess of goals assigned. Missouri, Colorado, Oregon and | Over 1,000 cities and towns have conducted campaigns. Probably & million subscribers have | responded to this appeal. Correspondence relating to pay- ment of subscriptions and payment of bills should be forwarded to Halsey | Hlammond, comptroller, 124 Kast 28th street, New York city.

CROIX DE GUERRE IS AWARDED LITTAUER Aviator Whose Mother Lived Hcere Locates German Battery Un- der Great Difficultics. Kenneth Proctor Littauer, grand- son of Mrs. Edward N. Andrews, of 82 Winter street, this city, who en- tered the aviation service in March, 1916, and is now stationed ‘some- where in France,” hags again been re- warded for his coolness and bravery. This time he has earned and received the much valued croix de guerre for his daring. The Washington Nation- al Tribune, describing his exploit, says: “It was learned that the Germans had installed a heavy battery in a position where it could drop shells almost to Dunkirk. It was desirable to spot this battery, and voung Lit- tauer—he is only jumped at the | chance and set out in a heavy, slow machine on a bitterly cold day. His slow machine put him at the mercy of the swifter airplanes. but he rose to the cold numbing height of 15,000 teet and then deliberately descended to 8,000 feet, where he began search- ing for the battery. Coming down lower where he could take a good photograph he made a number of pictures. The Germans discovered him and began a rattling fire with their anti-air craft guns, but Littauer completed his work, dropped a smoke bomb and then returned through fire to the French lines. Part of his machine was torn away but he succeeded in making a safe landing, although his plane, his cam- era and other accessorles were smashed. His photographs came through unharmed and as a result the French artillery speedily put the German battery out of commission.” Although young Littauer Is not known in this city, his mother lved here for a number of years. WITH MARINES IN FRANCE Joseph Feingold of 480 Main Street, With 67th Company, Among First of Sammies to Be Sent Abroad. Among the “First to Fight” Ma- rines who have already landed in France prepared to live up to their traditions, js Joseph Feingold, a pri- vate in the 67th Company, United States Marine corps. Private Feingold is the son of D. Feingold of 480 Main street. This is the second enlistment in the Marine Corps for Private Feingold. He enlisted at the New York city re- cruiting station on April 18 of this year. Because of his past milit verience and his marked military ity he was one of the first chosen to go to France with the overscas bat- talion. At present Private Feingold's dress is *“somewhere in France” the 67th Co. U. S. Marines. ad- with 'TWAS LIBERAL SU New Iaw Does Not Make Many Noticeable Changes dn This City. Comparatively few stores In this city, that have not in the past vio- lated the law by keeping open for business on Sunday, took advantage | vesterday of the new statute, effective | August allowing sales of certain necessary and alleged necessary arti- cles such as cigars, milk, confection- | ery, non-alcoholic drinks and other foodstuffs. In fact, here there was very little to indicate that the gov- ernment had lifted the lid a trifle, and the few stores that did keep open and had not done so previously saw very little to make them think they were going to get rich quick. Under this new law, it is stood, it will be possible for many small grocery stores to keep open seven days a week and still be within the law. About the only change this will make, however, is that the deal- ers will be doing a legal business, whereas previously they have been technically violating the law. PLAY DAY. under- ROUND SCHEDULE. Inters in the Inter-Playground league is increasing as the race for the championship becomes closer. To- morrow the Burritt and the Smalley school teams who are at present tied for first place will battle for the lead and it is probable that the team that wins will be the champion for this season of 1917. The Bartlett and the Smith will oppose each other at the grounds tomorrow. Two more games are scheduled for Thursday when the Smith plays the Smalley at the lat- ter's field and the Burritt encounters the Fast at the East street grounds. OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED. The officials for the big playground meet scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon at Walnut Hill park will be: Referee, W. G. Moorhead; direc- tor of games, J. F. Rourke; scorers, Misses Viola Strosser and May Beg- ley; judges of boys Rdlil Riley, Wil- liam Curtin, and T Ginsburg; judges of girls, Misses Grace Burns and May Cox.

Age B Address ...... Parents’ Name When Enlisted' In Army or Navy . In What Branch . From New Brztam Patriots Enllsted in the Natlons Service. Nearest of Kin (ir ~o parents) (Fill This Out and Return to Editor of The Herald.) Sixteen years old and a member of ! the coast artillery of the regular army. The youngest New Britain boy to enlist in the military. One of the youngest boys in the whole United States to offer his services for the sake of democracy and be accepted. Is it not a wonderful record? This notable achievement is credited to Adam Likte, son of George Likte of 306 E: treet. He enlisted April 23, 1917, at Fort Slocum, New York, and after being there for a few days was sent to Fort Sherman, Panama, at which place he 1s now stationed. Litke comes from a fighting and patriotic family as is shown by the fact that another brother is a mem- ber of the regular army, another was honorably discharged several years ago and a third has tried four times to enlist, each time being rejected for some minor physical disability. Emil, the other brother in the serv- ice is 35 vears of age and has been in the rcgu\ar army for 17 years. He is also a member of the coast artil- lery and 1s stationed at Fort Grant, Panama. Through the campaign that the Herald is waging such stories of hu- man Interest are brought to light. How many people in this city knew that New Britain was represented in the army of “Uncle Sam" by a six- teen-year-old boy and that this boy had a brother who had been in the service for nearly 20 years? It is no more than right that a record of each and every New Britain boy be kept, those who volunteered their services and those wha will be members of the nation's first draft army. After the “honor roll” is com- pleted it will be published. If you have a son or kinsman or know some young man who has en- listed in one branch of the service or another, fill out the above blank and return it personally or send it to the Editor of the Herald. “Do it Now.” ENFORGE MUZZLE LAW New Dog Pound Constructed at Police Headquarters and Al Animals Found Without Muzzles Will Be Killed. A rigorous campaign against un- muzzled dogs is to be waged by the police as a preventative against any further spread of the rabbies among | man or beast and all animals found on the streets without muzzles will be captured and impounded. A substan- tial dog pound, formerly used by Veterinarian George T. Crowley, has been located in the rear of police headquarters and, according to Chief | of Police Rawlings, all dogs captured, regardless of their owners, will be summarily dealt with. Last week Mayor Quigley issued an edict order- ing all dogs muzzled after four pe sons had been bitten and infected with hydrophobia, and on Friday the state commissioner on domestic animals is- sued a former mandate ordering all dogs muzzled by August 9. By the or- der of the state commissioner any animal found without a muzzle after noon on Thursday will be dispatched by the authorities. Dr. Henry T. Bray is at present re- sponding to treatment for rabbies at the Pasteur Institute in New York. Two other patients are being treated for the malady at the local hospital and Robert Manfridl, the 2 year old nephew of Robert J. Pape of 264 Cherry street, is at the Willara Park- er Institute in New York being treat- ed for rabbies. In every instance the physicians expect that the patients will ultimately recover, due to the fact that they began the treatment so soon after being infected. Since the mag dog epidemic of last week several other cases in which people are alleged to have been bitten by dogs have been reported to the po- lice and are being carefully investi- gated. Among these cases is that of John Lenica of 629 East Main street, who claims that his daughter was at- tacked by a dog owned by the Neri family. Patrick Scully of 92 Hart street reports that his two year old son, Richard, was attacked and bit- ten on July 19 by a dog owned by Norman P. Cooley. Numerous other complaints have been lodged, a num- ber of them being by dog owners to protest that their animals have been bitten by nelghbors’ dogs or stray dogs. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. FEMALE GATE TENDERS Railroad Officials Tell Local Reprc- sentatives Two Will Be Sent Here Shortly—Better Crossing Protection. Following a general get-together discussion, New Haven road officlals on Saturday gave local men assur- ance of better protection at the sev- eral grade crossings here and ap- proved the plan of the city engineer for the climination of the Lake street crossing at the junction of Washing- ton street. Mayor Quigley, City En- gineer W. H. Hall and Councilman H. P. Richards and General Mana- ger C. F. Bardo, General Superinten- dent Oviatt, Hartford Division Super- intendent Mitchell and Engineer Paul Sterling were the conferees. Although preéviously the railroad officials have expressed themselves as favoring the elimination of the Lake street crossing by straightening that thoroughfare so that instead of join- ing Washington street midway across the tracks it will intersect at a point well to the houth of the crossing, they made no definite promise to do so. Local city officials however, urged that they countenance this pro- ject and assume three-quarters of the expense. The railroad men told the local officials that they plan to send a su- pervisor to this city immediately to observe actual conditions at the grade crossings. The railroad men also ex- pressed a determination to supersede male gate tenders by female ém- ployes and intimated that two femals gate tenders may be expected here shortly. ATTACK ON BAGDAD. Von Falkenhayn to ILead Offensive in September. Geneva, Aug. 6.—The Germans and Turks are preparing to make a great effort to regain Bagdad, according to the Secolo of Rome.

Four Turkish divisions from Dobrudja and Turkish troops from Thrace are being concen- trated at thd Turkish capital. Austria is supplying the heavy artillery and Germany is furnishing the officers.

PALLS 200 FEET MAY LIVE New Yorker Drops From Crest of Jersey Palisades Into Ravine When Farth Crumbles Under Feet. New York, Aug. 6.—After a sheer drop from the top of the Palisades in the Interstate Park at Alpine, N. J., to a ravine about 200 feet below, Herbert Levy, 19, of 243 West Twen- ty-first street, may live to tell the story of a miraculous escape and res- cue. Although bruised and broken, he is resting in the Englewood hos- pital, where it was said last night he has a chance to recover. Levy and several friends from New York city were camping in the park near where the accident occurred. Yesterday afternoon they walked to the cliff where, a little in advance of his companions, Levy turned at the cliff’s edge and remarked. “Isn't the view heautiful from here’ At that instant the ground bled beneath his feet and with a cry he went plunging into the ravine far helow. It Is As Much Your ])utv to U.S. AND ENGLAND BROTHERS | Address of Ambassador Page at Guild- hall Highly Praised by London Edi- torial Writers. London, Aug. 6—The address of the American ambassador Walter H. Page in the Guildhall at Plymouth Satur- day night was especially a plea for a method under which a better mutual understanding of American and Brit- ish peoples may be achieved and Is heartily approved in edtorials in to- day’s newspapers. The importance of such an understanding apart and in addition to harmonious relations of the two governments is insisted upon, and Mr. Page is thanked for empha- slzing the need for such an interna- tional companionship and for sug- gesting an educational campaign in both countries to that end. 1t is argued that the peace of the world depends far beyond anything else upon a working union between its democracies, especially the United States and Great Britain, while the prospects of establishing permanent sympathy of the two latter re- garded by the Post as leading “to the possibility of an alliance of the two great English speaking nations to maintain the peace of the world. It is vet far off but it is a possibility and can be achieved. The ideal has long been the hope of both these countries who are friends of one another, but it has been reserved for Germany to teach the two nations that such an al- liance is necessary and practicable.” STAN LEY HORVITZ, ()l"l'()\ll OPTICIAN MAIN STREET \ < crum-
