Saying that our country is in a state of war, regardless of the fact that war has not been efficially declared, Sec- retary John T. Black of the state board of health, has issued a state- ment touching on food necessities and bealth in case of war. It say “We must arouse to the responsibil- ities of war and promptly prepare for all contingencies. Elaborate mili- tary preparations a¥e under way and our best men are rapidly enlisting in one or the other branches of the mil- itary service.- An “efficient fightjing force is imperative, but it alone can- not carry on a war of any length to successful congummation. The sup- port of an organized and efficient working Torce at home is an absolute necessity. “Connecticut, because of its geo- sraphical lqcation, its railroads, its harbors, it munition plants and man- ufactories, will be the center of great military attivity.

Ah organized, well nourished and heaithy people at home will en- able our armies to be promptly sup plied with all theif needs, and will be a big factor in making this war short and decisive. “The Home Guard is being organ- ized for home military protection and it is just as necessary to organize for the protection and conservation of the health andg food supply of our civ population. Before all our best blood has rushed to the front we should en- list some of them for this very im- portant home duty. “An organized state board of health such as proposed legislation will pro- vide, would afford an excellent nuc- leus for this service, but the situation is altogether too urgent to await pending legislation. “It is _proposed to of sanitarians, secure at once sanitary engin- eers, epidemioligists, bacteriologists, chemists, food experts, purchasing agents, transportation experts, inspec- tors, nurses, orderlies and clerks who are willing to enter this service and within a short time an organiza- tion will be effected either as a state body or in conjunction with the ®nit- ed States public health service™ Secretary Black said that a conference would be probably called within a faw days by Gov- ernor Holcomb and in_all probabil- ity the conference would be held in Hartford. He requests anyone inter- ested to send names to him. The movement is indorsed by Governor Holcomb, Jeffrey O. Phelps, commis- sioner on domestic animals; F. H. Stadtmueller, state dairy and food commissioner, and many of the state health officers. M. E. SHEDD GOES TO NEW HAVEN. Is Presented Tokens of Estesm by Local Telephone Men. Al E.

The office of the state tax commis- ioner is busily engaged at present in receiving income tax reports of cor- porations doing business in the state. The greater part of the returns have already been filed but it is expected that there will be a rush in the filing of reports on April 1, as the penalty _provided for neglect to file reports by that date _is a heavy one. Tax Com- missioner Willlam H. Corbin has pointed out that all corporations in the state which have not vet filed re- ports should give the matter attention so as to avoid the penalty which may be imposed by the commissioner for any neglect of the provision. This is the second year of the ad- ministration of the income tax law in Connecticut and about 5,000 corpor- ations are required to file returns. The revenue received from this source last vear amounted to about $1,600,- 000. COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS. Three More Have Been Filed With the Superior Court Clerk.

MISSION LODGER MAY FACE MURDER CHARGE Joseph McCabe Thought to be Man Wanted in Binghamton. Joseph McCabe, aged 24, a lodger at the Bradley Street mission in New London, was locked up at police head- quarters by Patrolman Charles Ham- mond Tuesday evening, on suspicion of being Francisco Vecchio, wanted by the police authorities of Binghamton, Y., on a charge of marder. He ap- peared in police court Wednesday morning and at the suggestion of Acting Prosecuting Attorney Frank Q. Cronin was ordered held by Associate Judze Lewis Crandall until next Sat- urday, March 31, pending a positive lidentification by the Binghamton au- thoriti In the meantime Chief Cor- nelius P. Cronin of the Binghamton police department will be notified of the arrest by Capt. George Haven. The prisoner denies any knowledge of the crime for which he is held. As near as the police have been able to ascertain the man under sus- pision has been in New London less than a week. He registered at the Bradley Street Mission last Thursday night and a few days later obtained employment at the Groton plant of the Ship and Engine Co. as a carpen- ter. Tuesday afternoon the keen eve of Patrolman Hammond fell upon Me- Cabe and he was impressed by his resemblance with the picture on a circular issued by the Binghamton po- lice. He waited for McCabe to en- ter the mission and compared him with the picture and description contained in the circular. McCabe's arrest fol- lowed. The description of the much wanted Binghamton man and the pris- oner are almost identical. The Binghamton murderer is ac- cused of shooting and killing Edward Hainsworth in_Collier street in that city on ‘the night of Feb. 23, 1917. The description of Francisco Vecchio, an Italian, as furnished te the local po- lice, follows Aged 23; 5 feet, weight 150 pounds: well built: smooth face; dark complexion; black hair; very rapid talker: speaks good Eng- lish. McCabe has a mass of bushy black hair and is dark. His eyes are of a dark blue tint. He admits being 24 vears of age. He was measured as to his height at police headquarters on Wednesday evening and found to be 5 feet 6 1-4 inches, but the police allow that measurements are liable to vary. The man held here denies that he was ever in New York state. He claims to have resided until recently with a sister at Central Falls, R. I, and to have been born in Needham, Mass. Prior to coming to New London, he says, he worked in New Bedford, Mass., and lodged at the City Mission in that city. He speaks excellent En- ist with no trace of a dialect. A _search of his clothing at police headquarters revealed a small paper covered book entitled Thee Gospel of St. John and a theatre program, the heading of which was torn off. He had no money in his possesion, al- though he is known to have several days’ pay due from the Ship and En- gine €o.. for his services since enter- ing the employ of that company. ‘Bonds for the release of McCabe were fixed at $100 which he coyld not furnish. He was remanded to the county Jail to await a hearing in police court Saturday morning. s WILL LECTURE ON 5 —~ THE NAVAL RESERVE.

Recr: Nineteen more men enlisted in the Norwich Home Guard on Wednesday. The names announced at the recruit- :ng station at 9 o'clock last night fol- ow: E Robert McNeely, Pavl H. Zahn, Charles O. Ramage, Frank E. Peck- ham, James W. Bussey, George R. Giflord, John N. McNeely, Meyer Blumenthal, Herbert H. Baldwin, Chas. I Smith, Harry L. Hvde, Dave. J. Mc- Guire, Peter E. Flynn, Hen P. Beausoleil, Clovis F. Charbonneau, John O. Johnson, John T. Cochrane, Philip E. Busch and Fred C. Busch. The local recruiting officials have received another builetin of informa- tion regarding the fiome Guard from the military emergency board. The bulletin follow: This board is in receipt of numer- ous inquiries as to the purppse and scope of the Home Guard and the ex- tent 6f duty required of its members, and it has been deemed advisable to issue tatement in answer to these inquiries. . The Home Guward is a state organ- ization, under state control .and au- thority, ang subject to the order of the governor. It calls for duty only within the state. The two main pur- poses are home military training and defense. The organization of the Home Guard at this time affords an opportunity for systematic mobilization of the mili- tary resources of the state as disclos- ed by the recent military census ex- clusive of the National Guard and the Naval Militia and those who can be held for enlistment therein. This .board will give everv aid and encouragement to the recruiting to war strength of the National Guard and Naval Militia and does not intend to have the Home Guard in any way act as a deterrent to enlistment in the National Guard. In the event of a call for volunteers, any man in the Home Guard will re- ceive am honorable discharge when- cver he enlists in the volunteer forces. Until such a eall comes, those who intend to respond to the call and can- not enlist in the National Guard should avail themselves of the military training which will be afforded in the ‘Home Guard. In response to many inquiries re- ceived as to the nature and probable length of service, this board calls at- tentlon to the fact that the Home Guard bill which was originally intro- duced in the legislature, was to create a permanent reserve organization, to be called into service in the event of the National Guard organization being sent out of the state. The recent mobilization of the Na- tional Guard on the Mexican border showed the need of making some pro- visions for a Home Guard to take the place of the National Guard within the state. Enlistment in the Home Guard Is for a period of two years. In the event of the passing of the present emergen- cy and there being no immediate need of the services of the Home Guard, its members will undoubtedly be relieved from active servics, but held in reserve to await any further emergency dur- ing thier term of enlistment. Dur- ing the time the Home Guard is held in reserve it is not probable that drills will be frequent. As to the place of duty while in ac- tive service, all that the board can say is that, while it is not probable that any of the Home Guard organizations will be sent from its home town or immediate vicinity, vet it is possible that emergencies may arise that will maPe jt necessary to use them for duty ih other parts of the state. Thig board does not contemplate the establishment of any general training camp, intending to have the companies instructed and drilled In their home towns, under competent drill masters. As to pay, the bill creating the Home Guard provides that when the Home Guard is calleg into service the officers and men shall be paid for their ser- vices, but at no greater rate than that paid the National Guard while it is in_active service. Their dependents may receive the separation allowances provided for in recent act eoncerning the militia ap- proved March 8, 1917. Unmarried mey between the ages of 18 and 35 who_are physically fit for service in the National Guaml or the United States Army or Navy, should make application at the recruiting stations of such organizations All men between the ages of 18 and 35, residents in towns or in adjacent WE these years.
