f { NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1918. ALUMNITO INSPECT YALE AT WAR WORK Round-Up at New }faven College " on Washington’s Birthday New Haven, Jan. The summons has gone forth for the alumni of Yale to report at Jew Haven on Washing- s Birthday—Friday, February 2 to inspect the unive war work. Nearly a nd men ire in the uniforms of the Yale Field Artillery Reserve Office Training Corps and of the Yale Naval Training Unit. The graduates are invited to learn out these things at first hand, in- yecting the $125,000 field artillery armory built by loyal graduates in the shadow of the monster Yale Bowl; *the classroom building and artillery laboratory, Artillery Hall, erected by the Yale Corporation in the rear the University Gymnasium; the bat- ) tery of French 75-mm. guns which BARGE AGAIN lave seen service on the Irench | front, a unique possession in which | Once Abandoned, Tt is Pressed Into Yale men take justifiable pride, and; the rest of the extraordinary equip- | ment which have earned for the two 4 units the reputation of being second y to West Point and Annapolis and to the School of Fire at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. They are invited to learn something about the important work which is being done for the govern- ment in the umiversity’s laboratories. Never before has such a summons gone out to the alumni of Yale. To be sure, Alumni University Day, fall- always upon Washington’s Birth- has been held annually since its uguration in 1914. But the pur- s been primarily to study the university’s educational equipment and problems. This year the interest will center entirely in what ¥ale is doing to pre- pare men for the service and to con- vert its laboratories and other equip- ment into practically a government in- stitution. The A as y mni Day program, which is °t worked out only in its essen- tial detai will begin at 11 o’clock in the mornimg with an assembly of the graduates in Lampson Lyceum. From 11:30 until 1 o’clock, those who have made the patriotic pilgrimage to New Haven will inspect the equipment of R.O.T. C. and the Y. N. T. U., the naval unit is known, seeing the men at their work and drills and loo over the French field pieces, which have a story of their own to tell Yale men point with pride especial- Iy to the university’s record in field ctiliery training. It was in the sum- of 1415 that President Eadley, an believer in ssivo national pre- paredness, decided to act upon the so- licited advice of Major-General Leon- ird Wood to the effect that Yale could render her best service to the nation, in keepirg with a tradition more than centuries old, by devoting con- tent efforts to training up men in the important but difficult arm of the artiliery. Since the fall of that year, the Yale record has been consistent, following through the history of the Yale battalion which summered in 1916 at Tobyhanna preparing for a call to service at the Mexican border, the.large group of 1,500 students who drilled daily on the campus after the declaration of war last spring, and the incorporation last fall of the R. O. C. course as a part of the under- graduate curriculum, covering three vea of study and drill and counting 1s nine hours toward the Bachelor’s degree, The Naval Training Unit, similarly organized, has aiso been a pioneer unit, from which the number of men going to accept commissions in the navy has been almost as remarkable as that of the Yale-trained men com- ioned in the field artillery. At the head of this unit is now Rear Ad- miral Colby M. Chester, U. S. N., re- tired, the distinguished former head of the naval academy, veteran of the Civil war, and director of the naval chbservatory. At 1 o'clock there will be presented a university service flag with stars for approximatety a thousand students whose classes are not graduated and faculty members absent from the campus and in the nattonal service. The spectacle ehould prove a thrilling one. President Hadley will accept the flag fcr the university, and a poem written for the occasion hy Robert Munger, *97, will be read for the first time, A luncheon in Memorial hall at 1:30 at which President Hadle; others will tell of the war work being done at the university w followed by an opportunity to visit v: tories ard learn something about this two phase of the university’s contribution | te the nation’s need. Last June the graduates retnrned to New Haven to a commencement shorn of most of its usual attractions. There was no ball game with Harvard, and the gaily-clad reunion classes made no vublic appearance. But the Tuesday which is castomarily devoted to these events was marked py the dedication of the artillery armory at Yale field and by patriotic excrcises in the uni- versity quadrangle which left an im- | pression upen the alumni never car- ried away before. The alumni day program arranged for Washington’s birthday and now being worked out in its details will offer the alurani all the inspiration of such an event as the June, 1917, com- mencement plus the thrill of seeing the university actually busy in fts work of training fature officers for the army and navy and of devoting its laboratories to work for the gov- ernment. A record return is looked for. KURRAH FOR MR. NELOTSKY.

Jan. —The old wooden barge, the ox of the sea, long de- prived of glory as bigger coastwise craft were built for the coal carrying trade, has come into its own in these war time d of fuel shortage. (he swift white-winged schooners which supplanted it for the most part have sunk their four, five and si masts beneath the waves in obedience to the will of elements or, in the case of some which ventured across the Atlantic, from the attacks of the in- sidious torpedo. The few that remain have been pressed into other service as have many of the iron steamers built to bring coal from southern ports to New England, With the coming of the fuel ¢ the slow-going craft, strung often in tows of two, three or more in the leash of a powerful little tug, again was recognized. Barges that had been knocking about in New England waters without finding cargoes or tugs now command high prices, with little cargo space available. Few of them are on the market, and the hulks of many ancient sailing ships, wrecked vears ago and left deep in sand, have been salvaged, stripped of their masts and sent along the coastwise lanes in the humble guise of the barge.

K. Wellington Koo, Chinas minister plenipotentiary to the United S who addressed the New York Chamber of Commerce at a recent Juncheon in honor of the Chinese mil- itary commission now touring this country. This Chinese mission is mainly in- dustrial in nature, though its findings will have direct and important bear- ing on China's participation in the wir, and it is visiting various business cenfers throughout the country with a view to gathering information on methods for adaptation in Unlike most of the other mis- sions in the procession that has been passing steadily through American cities since the war began, the Chinese mission is not interested in the flota- | tion of loans; it is devoting its timo not only ta the study of munitions plants, but also to American industrial methods. The: mission is headed by the licutenant-general of the Chineso army, T. T. Chiang, and includes Y. T Din g e Chin, L. C. Han, H. T. Cheng, ( Nien and €. L. Chiang, several of whom were educated in the United States. One of the principal objects of the mission is to inspect the million dollars’ worth of tools ordered from an American fi in 1914 for use in China. After voicing the appreciation felt by members of the commission for the welcome they have received through- out the United States, Dr. Koo went on to say: “We of China through centuri prize business honesty more than bus- in prosperity cannot but admire the | commercial integrity of the American | busir man, for we know and ap- | And our own nced modern Ching e e who have learncd | of experience to preciate its value of rapid pr s in the promotion of China’s mater welfare leads us to | emulate the high state of efliciency in | which all branches of your industries found If this feeling of emulation has raised one single identical thofight in thel minds of the Chine people it is the | | i have been admiration and thought of promoting more business relations between China and the all walks of 1fe have ntic industrial plants * # Ever since the he ity of motive. ginning of our mutual business inter- course in 1784, throughout 131 yer we have never had any manner of d pute or controversy to mar our pleas- ant rclations. * * # jually distinet with the ston of commercial integrity and in dustrial efficiency of the American nation is the impression gained by the Chinese commission of the nation- wide co-operation in the prosecution of war against the Central Powers. * * % The knowledge which they have gained of the arganization of cantic war machinery will enable China to speed up her preparations for her ac- tive participation in the war. “We have already approximately 100,000 Chinese in France principally, and in Rus , Mesopotami nd South impres- Africa doing the work of skilled me- | chanics and masens, of carpenters and brick layers, of bridge builders and trench diggers. Their readiness to e up these kinds of important work Jind the firing line has made it pos- ble to rclease a large \number of ritish and French soldiers to do act ¢ duty on the battlefield. * * * For{ help win the | China’s purposc is to war i Although China has been the latest member to join the great inte; ional partnership e realizes no less fully than all her associates in the war that this is conflict between true and false principles: it is a conflict to de- | termine whether the principles of | § vizsht and justice and of humanity chall prevail, or whether we shall per- | mit the false principles of brute force | nd of insidiot militarism to prevail.
