New Hayen, April 138.—The Free Legal ‘Aid bureau which was estab. lished last November under the aus- pices of the Yale Law School com- pleted its vear's work Tuesday eve- jay, April 14, 1916, The Bulletin has the largest eirculation of any paper in Bastern Connecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 8,000 of the 4,053 houses in Nor- wich and read by ninety-three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,180, and in all of these places it is considered the local daily. Eastern Connpecticut has forty- nine towns, one hurired and sixty- five postoffice districts, and sixty 1ural ffee delivery routes. The Bulletin is sold In every town and on all of he R. F.

It is an effort in behalf of delay which is made by Germany in its note regarding the torpedo attack on the Sussex and other vessels. TR® answer which is made to the United States’ communication calls for any “further material for a conclusion upon the case of the Sus e d suggests that the matter be referred to The Hague “in the event that differences of opin- fon should Jevelop” which it has good reason to believe already exists. It is admittel in the reply that there was a vessel torpedoed in the English channel the same day as the Sussex was struck d in the same locality. It was torpedoed without warning and the bow of the vessel was shattered and, according to the explanation, this action was taken because the subma- rine commander had ‘“reached the definite conclusion that it was a war wvessel and, indeed, a2 mine 'ayer.” That being the character of the ship the action of the submorire would of eourse be justified bu: there have been previous instances when vessels have been torpedoed without justification #0 that conclusions hich are arrived at by German submarine commanders are by no means infallible. The description which is given of the vessel torpedocd does not tally with the Sussex, which was a typical channel steamer, and this furnishes the ground for claiming that it was mot the Sussex, and that whatever harm befell that vess-] was caused by a mine. This dcepens the mystery only to the extent of determining whether any English war vessel was damaged or destroved in the manner described by the German note. None has been reported and if none is miss- ing there can be no question whatever then surrounding the attack upon the Sussex, and it ought to require but little time to clear up this thin vefl of doubt. RELIEF FOR THE CONGESTION. The intimation that has been made by Lord Robert Cecil that it was probable arrangements could be made whereby the allies would sanction the putting into use of the vessels be- longinz to belligerent nations are how tied up in neutral meeds no repetition. Already it has made its appeal to those who under- stand how much they are needed and how well they can be made to relieve the congested transportation facilities, and from present indications, if ar- rangements can be made which will be agreed to by all the nations In- volved, it seems probable that the idea will be carried out, either by the purchase or the lease of the idle steamships. From the price which vessels are commandinz today, and anything in the shape of a ship that is safe and able to make any headway at all brings unheard of prices at the pres- ent time, it is apparent that there is meed of more vessels to handle the commerce between nations. The ton- mnage was seriously diminished when the German and Austrian vessels wera, withdrawn at the outbreak of the ‘war. The other nations did not have the facilities to make up for the loss and the handicap has been steadily felt. The destruction of merchantmen in the past 21 months has likewise made a tremendous hole in the carry- irig trade and it is significant in that connection that the suggestion now comes from Great Britain that it is willing to sanction a relief measura. Not only would such an arrange- ment help the situation as effectively as a fleet of new vessels, but it would mean instant relief and such upder Ppresent conditions with shipyards driven to their limit cannot be gained| in any other way. ‘waters NEGLECT IT NO LONGER. From the time that the United States troops crossed the border into Mexico. or even from the time that it was known that they would go across, it was recognized, aside from the .seri- . ousness of the errand upon which they. were going, that it was going to pro- vide some of the best training that they could possibly receive.

Carleton L. Marsh, 1917 L. S. was elected president. The bureau has been consulted in 18 cases this year, five of which are as yet un- settled. Only one appearance in court has been necessary. The bureau s somewhat handicapped by the Con- necticut law which allows no_lawyer not a regular member of the Connec- dout bar, to appear in court. This, of course eliminates the students. Of the eighteen cases, on which the bu- reau was consulted, it acted for the plaintiff in eleven and for the defend- ant in seven cases. Four cases of contract were undertaken, one under the workmen's compensation act, one summary process, one application for pardon, two applications for release from asylum, one attachment, one case of insurance, one mortgage, two cases of personal injury, two wills, and one case of separate support. Five cases are as yet unsettled and one appear- ance in court has been made before a justice of the peace. This first sea- son of the Legal Ald bureau, while not quite coming up to the expectations of its organizers, has nevertheless been a success. In starting an enterprise of this kind, it is necessary to get the confidence of the townspeople before it can become a success, and this the bureau has been trying to do with en- couraging results. Before undertiak- ing any case, the bureau has made sure that its client is deserving of the free aid. This policy of helping only the deserving aplicants, while dim- inishing th number of cases under- taken, has increased the prestize of | the bureau: The bureau was formed | last fall by the students, faculty, and alumni of the Yale Law school. All members of the Law School who have completed elght hours of law work, together with a limited number of graduates are elegible for membership. As stated in its constitution “The object and purpose of this bureau shall Dbe to render lezal ald and assistance to all persons or associations who, D reason of financial embarrassment, o for any other reason, may appear worthy thereof.

Daily practice of an hour and!| a half will be held for the rest of the week, however, so that the men may be in the best possible shape by Sat- urday. Most of the other teams of the Intercollegiate league have also been confined for the most part to in- door practice, but during the last few days regular practice has been daily. The season has now opened al- though no important zames will be played until May. The Intercollegiate schedule, which formerly provided for a game betwecen the University team and that representing Stevens comes three weeks earlier, on April 19, A new constitution for the Yale Dining Hall was adopted this week by a committee consisting of a repre tative from each table. The prin difference between the old and new constitutions is in regard to the method of clecting officers. Under the former system the president was elec- ted by a committee consisting of a representative from eaoh table, and the vice-president and secretary were appointed by the president. The new constitution provides for a system electing all the officers by the direct vote of every member of the Dining Hall. The old constitution was adopt- ed in 1904 and has since then grown obsolete. A committee was appoint- ed last fall to remodel it, but an in- vestigation showed that a new con- stitution was necessary. The consti- tution just adopted was drawn up and ratified by the prudential committee at the last meetl There is at present a movement on foot in_ the senior class in the college to establish a fund for sending a rep- resentative of the class as teacher for one year at Yale-in-China. Such funds have been raised by previous classes, as in 1912 when the seniors sent Sherwood S. Day to Indla for three years. It has been customary for two to four men to go out to Changshq from each graduating class; but owing to the unprecedentedly large budget the committee this vear can send out no one-year men. At least four men are needed from 1916 and if none at all are sent, the effect will be disastrous for Yale-in-China, where at present rapld growth is ab- solutely demanded because of its great popularity among the Chinese. To send out no new men next fall, will be to cripple Yale at a moment of greater opportunity than ever before, the removal of the school to its larger new buildings. The amount to be raised is about one thousand dollars. Already a considerable amount has been collected, and very little doubt is sustained that the required funds will be contributed. Over four hundred undergraduates attended the informal smoker given by the university track association last Tuesday evening at_ the Hotel Taft. Motion pictures of Life at Yale including the Harvard-Yale Dual meet, were shown at the beginning of the meeting. The speakers were then introduced by Manager A. H. Bunker, Wwho presided; the smoker was ciosed with motion pictures of last years Intercollegiate meet. In his opening address Captain Oler emphasized the need of candidates, and the possibil- ities of a championship team. A. C. Gilbert, 1906, twice holdre of the world's record in the pole valut and winner in this event in the Olympic games of 1908, laid particular stress on the need of co-operation and en- ithusiasm. J. R. Kilpatrick, 1911, cap- tain of the University track team which went abroad to compete against Oxford, spoke of the number of differ- ent kinds of track work, and the op- portunities afforded to all kinds of men.

The mechanical engineering clas wil visit some of the largest mu- nition plants, locomotive works, steel works, machine shops and testing plants in the eastern section of the United States. An anclent institution that has been put to use with certain modifications in the present war is the harangue of rench officers to the troops. In the| days when the general-in-chief of an army was able to pass up and down the lines and talk personally to the| soldiers, his address was considered | quite as useful as the preacher’s ser- mon_ or the lawyers pleading. Even in Napoleon’s time the general's har- angue had been transformed into a proclamation or order of the day by reason of the impossibllity for the general-in-chief to come _into con- tact with men spread over consider- able fronts. Napoleon's manifestos were pla- carded around all the bivouacs. Points of resembdlance to them have been picked out of some of Joffre's orders of the day.

Ash piles can 1ow with due ceremony be attacked and carted off to the dumping grounds. Yards and celars can be cleaned of the dusty accumula- tions of the season.

Recelve them with confidence; your property, your religion and your customs shall be respected.” Since the transformation of the general's harangue into a proclama- tion, it is generally the colonel or the captain upon whom devolves the re- sponsibility of haranguing the soldiers in person.” The colonel of a regiment during the retreat of Charleroi found it expedient to raise the spirits of his men, somewhat demoralized by con tinued orders to retreat. “Halt! Erect! he ordered, The command was re- peated all along the line, and the en- tire regiment was on its feet. “Sol- diers,” the Colonel shouted, “to retire is not to fiee, It is necessary to be able to run ahead when one has the lobby, the club, of sport is diminishing a man's devotion to his home.
