At the urgent request of the war de- partment, the state of Comnecticut must lay in a supply of service shirts for our national guardsmen. The ad- jutant general’s office has about three months in which to scurry about to secure the olive drab shirts, that are necessary before Connecticut will get a penny of the federal appropriation for militia maintenance. _ Orders issued by the war department and now being circulated among offi- Ccers of the gusrd insist that to se- cure money the state must have in rviceable condition 100 uniforms per ch senator and representative.” Fach uniform, the orders say, must consist of one hat, one olive-drab wool coat, one olive-drab wool _trousers, one pair leggins, one blanket, one olive-drab wool blanket, one broncho for dismounted men, and one slicker for mounted men. Heretofore each mounted man has had to purchase his own shirt. costing as high as §3.50. He received abso- lutely no credit from the state for buying it and he had to buy no oth- er part of his uniform. Hence there has been much disatistaction among the enlisted men. And there has been also a great difference in shirts that the men wore. But all tkis must be done away with if the state desires its appropriation @thls vear. The Colonel Is Reconciled.

The members of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R., held a campfire gathering 2t Buckingham Memorial on Friday evening and had as their guests mem- bers of Sedgwick corps, No. 16, W. R. C., the Citizens' corps and the Sons of Veterans. ‘After an excellent supper served un- der the direction of a committee of the Woman's Relief corps, of which Mrs. Dorothea Balcom was chairman, Rev. Frederick W. Coleman, pastor of Trin- ity M. E. church, addressed the gath- ering on the issues of the present great European strife, Rev. Mr, Cole- man expressed the hope that there would soon come a federation of the countries of the world like the federa tion of the various states in this coun- try and that war would be a thing of the past. His talk was admirably pre- sented and his manner convincing. There were also selections by Fitch's orchestra during the evening. LADIES’ AUXILIARY. At their meeting on Friday night the members of Ladies’ auxiliary, No. 54, A. O. H., elected the following officers to serve the ensuing year: President, Julia Brock; vice president, Mrs, Peterson; recording secretary, ary E.

The newly elected officers will be in- stalled by County President Mrs. Em- ma Danihy jn January. It is also planned to observe the auxiliary’s first anniversary the same night. RECEIVING FUNDS FOR FIVE COLLEGE BUILDINGS At Connecticut College for Women— Mapping Out Course of Study. Two of the most important meetings of committees of trustees in the his- tory of Connecticut College for Wo- men were held Friday at the office in the Mohican hotel, at New London. At that of the building committee it was announced that contributions are being received to funds for the build- ing of New London county hall, New Haven county hall, Windham county hall, Fairfield county hall and Yale hall, donations to the latter being from Yale alumni. Announcement of a library fund to which contributions are coming in was also made. At a. meeting of the educational committee Friday afternoon courses of study to be ir effect /at the opening of the colleze were prepared and will be ready for dlstrpution shortly. That the growth and prosperity of Connecticut’s latest institution of higher education are assured is evi- dent from the widespread interest that is being manifested in it. Within a brief period President Frederick H. Sykes has been twice called upon to deliver addresses relating to-the col- lege to the 3,000 young women stu- dents of Wadleigh high school in New York city. Dr. Sykes:stated that in his opinion that city and its envir- ons would be one of the princij sources from which future candidates for admission will be drawn. Many Applications. Already more than enough applica- tions for ‘enrollment at thé opening of the coliege in September next to fill one of the two dormitories now be- Ing erected have been received. Long before the date of opening it is firmly believed there will be a waiting list of, thoze who desire to malke thelr college! home at the dormitories and not to re- side elsewhere In the city. Six_bids, two of which were from New London contsactors, were receiv- ed for the construction of a tempor- ary heating plant at the college site. The total expenditure for this bullding expected to be in the vicinity of 000. It was decided to defer awarding the contract for construc- tion until a meeting of the commit- teo to be held the first week in Janu- ary and for that reason the trustees deemed it inadvisable to give out the names of the bidders or the amounts of their bids. The building of tha heating plant will invo've the installation of two modern boilers using soft coal and saving smoke consuming grates, thus securing a maximum of heat with a minimum of fuel expense. Efficient Heating Plant. The heating plant will be 5o equipped as to permit of pumping hot water to the dormitories and the sci- ence building and of sending steam wherever it may be required. This temporary plant will be sufficient for heating two_additional buildings be- side those already in process of con- struction. It is also capable of ex- tension so that a'though termed tem- porary in reality it will be sufficient to meet the needs of the institution for a number of years. Educational Committee Meets. The memberg of the committee on education, which met_this afternoon, are Dean Wright of Yale, chairman; Edwin D. Robbins of New Haven, Prof, Colin S. Buell, F. Valentine Chappell and Miss Wright. The courses of , study which they mapped out will be published in pamphlet form as soon as possible, so that they may be mailed In answer to_requests from prospective students. In allud- ing to the future growth of the col- lege Dean Wright observed that while it is located in this state, it will be by no means solely a Connecticut in- stitution. He believed that it will draw students from many sections of the country. New London County Hall. In the matter of contributions to funds for the various county buildings and Yale hall, it was n felt best at this time to, give out the names of donors nor the amount of their dona- tions, but these will be forthcoming a little later. It is considered probable that the fund for a Norwich hall, an- nounccient of which has been pre- viously made will be merged with that that for a New London county hall is 32! OBITUARY, Nirs.
