Bald- Co., BACK FROM ARGTIG AFTER TWO YEARS Dr. Hovey Reports Discoveries of Valuable Minerals New York, Aug. 27.—Dr. Edmund Otis, Hovey, curator of geology at the Americn Museum of Natural History, returned yesterday from an Atlantic port after an absence of two years and two months with the Crocker Re- lief Expedition, on which he started in June, 1915, on the American mo- tor schooner George B. Cluett. During his long exile in the arctic regions Dr. Hovey conducted impor- tant investigations. He was surpriser to learn on arrival that Donald B. Macmillan, the leader of the party, had landed at St. Johns bay, as he had left them to hurry back to Amer- ica on account of personal affairs. Although Dr. Hovey said he had used all possible speed it took’ him five months and two days to come from Etan, Greenland, to his home in New York. Five vessels were required to get the scientists to Greenland and back again to America, and the cost of the Masmillan expedition and the relief expeditions amounted to $300,000. Dr. Hovey said that Mr. Macmillan told him that Crocker Land was a mirage. The party had made important dis- coveries of minerals which were con- sidered of no value before the war, but had since been found to be of great value for the manufacture of chemicals. In giving a summary of his exper- iences Dr. Hovey said: “I reached Etan on Sept. 15, 1915, making the last two days by motor boat, and then went to North Star Bay, where I found the Macmillan party engaged in scientific research. I went back to Etah and remained all winter on the Cluett and continued my scientific observations through 1916, and in December of that year I discovered that a relief steamship, the Danemark, had come out to find us in September, and had been frozen in. “When I reached the Danemark in North Star Bay I found Knud Ras- mussen, the Danish explorer, and Dr. Thorild Wulff, who were on their way to Peary Land to make observations for the Cape York Committee Scien- tific Station. I decided to return to America, and started to cross the ice to Godhaven, a distance of 1,100 miles, with four sleds, thirty-nine doys and three Eskimos. The pas- sage across Melville Bay was 200 miles, and occupied twenty-one days, or twenty sleeps, as the Eskimos call it. “There were stretches of black ice, so called because it is so thin the blue water can be seen through it, and on two occasions it gave way, and the Eskimo got a ducking. I ar- rived at Godhaven on May 29, hav- ing made the 1,100 miles in sixty-six days, and embarked for Copenhagen on the steamship Hans Egede, and 1 arrived on July 26.” When he reached Godhaven, Dr. Hovey received the first newspapers he had seen for more than a year, and learned that the United States was at war with Germany. The failure of the Crocker Land Expendition, which was sent north in July, 1913, to explore a large ‘body of land which Peary thought hé had seen, was the cause of two relief ex- peditions being sent out from this country to find Macmillan and his party. The first one was stopped by ice in Melville Bay, and the second, the steamship Neptune, reached the explorers and returned in safety. - BRING THE BOYS HOME Money Needed for Truck for Young- sters’ Return. The boys of the Children’s home on -Corbin avenue have been at Chalker Beach, Saybrook, for two weeks. The days they spent at the shore of the sound have been, in truth, days of real sport. The youngsters have been living at the Johnson Farmhouse and they have been furnishing a great part of their table board by their own efforts. Each day the boys go fishing and thus far they have had excellent luck. On a single afternoon last week they caught 35 fish and al- together they have hooked about 200 good sized members of the finny tribe. Among the visitors who have been down to see the boys are Mrs. Eugene J. Porter, Otis O. Butler and Rev. J. E. Klingberg. Miss Alice Maxson, matron at the Children’s Home, is in charge of the boys during their stay at the shore. The boys were trans- ported to Saybrook by auto truck through the generosity of New Brit- ain business men and R. H. Craw- ford is soliciting money to get them back tthe same way. NOT TOO OLD TO FIGHT. New York, Aug. 27.—With two vet- erany of the Mexican war, both over 90 years old, present, the 18th annual encampment of the Veterans of For- eign Wars opened here today. The veterans have not given up hope of fighting for the country simply be- cause they are old, according to Al- hert J. Rabin, of New York, the com- mander in chief of the society. He said 15 per cent. of the members of the organization had already enlisted for the present war, ' NO CLUE TO MURDERER.

Young Says Youth Must Fight As in Civil War Washington, Aug. 27.—In a signed statement Lieut. Gen. S. B. M. Young, U. 8. A, Commander-in-chief of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, and President of the National Association for Universal Military Training, advocates the early drafting of youths between 19 and 21, to form the National Army. General Young says that of the 9,- 600,000 men registered, fully 80 per cent. of the married men have not hesitated to walk up and claim exemp- tion on that ground alone, . which means that only a small percentage of ! the married men in the nation are | willing to bear arms in defense of it. | This is a condition which was not only surprising, but which is full of men- ace, and to which there can be but one answer—the young, unmarried men must save this country even as they saved it in the Civil war. i After quoting statistics to show that the bulk of the Union army was com- posed of youths under 21, General Young analyizes the results of the present draft and concludes: “After the first and second drafts are made there will be approximately 626,000 men avallable for purely mil- itary service who will not have been included in the first two drafts. Now, since the first and second drafts will total about 1,374,000, and experience shows that three men are required in reserve for each man on the firing line the 626,000 left over from the “first registration will not be adequate for even a reserve force for the men ac- tually on tHe firing line, but will fall short of the number which experience has proved necessary by some 3,496,- 000. “By using the comprehensive ma- chinery set up by the War Department for carrying out the provisions of the draft law and which is still in exist- ence and in perfect working order, the remedy which I have to propose can be immediately realized. This remedy is embodied in the following amend- ment to the draft law: All male persons resident in the United States who are 19 years of age and not more than 31 years of age on the, (date when this amendment shall go into effect,) and who were not registered in pursuance of the act of May 18, 1917, shall be registered at such time and place as the President may by proclamation direct. “It should also be provided that none of the men affected by the law so amended should be called for active military service before reaching the age of 21 years. Would Net 1,920,000. “Granting that the proposed amend- ment shall be adopted by Congress the : same to go into effect June 5, 1918, a | startling and illuminating comparison with the figures of the recent registra- tion and draft given above is imme- diately presented: On June 1918, there would be three classes—males 19, 20 and 21 years of age—affected by this proposed amendment. These three classes would total 3,000,000 men, and after rejections would net approximately 1,920,000 men fit for training for military service. In these three classes there will be a much smaller average percentage of exemp- tion than in the older classes -which were comprehended in the recent reg- istration. “In round numbers, 1,000,000 men arrive at the age for military service each year. Allowing for proper de- ductions on account of physical and mental unfitness and for the exclu- | Seoond. ;and Mrs. sion of only sons of widowed mothers, we would have as a result about 640,~ 000 men fit for training for purely military service, and these men could be called into the cantonments for | training as rapidly as these canton- | ments were evacuated by the final in- | crements of the new National Army | which were produced by the drafts ‘ under the registration of June 5, 1917. i “By utilizing these splendid camps as permanent training quarters for our ; young men from 19 to 21 years of age !'we would not only conserve our young manhood but would profit by the im- mense equipment provided-at such an enormous initial outlay. It is our plain duty to so use these camps and thus fit our youth to become real defend- ers of the nation. It is the rational, ; the obvious thing to do. | "Of course, tha logic of the forego- i Ing points with unerring accurgcy to universal military training as the i fundamental principle of a permanent, | continuing military policy. The draft law is the first great stride toward this goal, and the amendment above sug- gested, when realized, will form the The third and final step will have been taken when the principles | °f the draft law as amended along the lines suggested shall have been made the permanent military policy of the United States.” PERSONALS | Miss Sadie Butler of Tremont street will spend the week with friends in Stony Creek.
