Annual Regatta Held on the Thames River. First Connecticut college crews have in- vaded the rowing course left vacant this year by the Yale and Harvard carsmen and despite the fact that the red an dblue. have traded their oars for rifies, the Thames was not without its annual regatta. Con- necticut college has come to the res- cue when the war threatened to de- prive the river of its privilege of carry- ing shells to victory and defeat. ‘Wednesday night at 6 o'clock Con- necticut colege held its first annual regatta on the Thames river. The freshman two-oared shell defeated the sophomore two-ocared shell by five and a half lengths in a one mile race to the navy yard and return, amid the cheers of their classmates assembled along the western bank. The entire college, students and faculty, gathered along the short course and were the only spectators of the race, which will, no doubt, some day be an anfual event of the collegians, but their enthueiasm ‘was no less hearty, though less in vol- ume, than that of two lines of cheer- ing observation cars and ealuting yachts. The freshman crew, which made the mile in 15 minutes, 3 seconds, was composed of Miss Frances Barlow, coxswain, Miss Mabel Torrey and Miss Mildred Howard. Miss Mildred Keefe was coxswain of the sophomore crew and Miss Amy Kugler and Miss Doris Blaisdell ‘'were the crew. After the race a bonfire was kindled on._ the shore near the college boat- house and frankfurters were roasted and rolls and coffee served. President Frederick H. Sykes made brief re- marks and Edward D. B. Lynde en- tertained with reading, and the party sat about the campfire until after 9 o'clock, singing and telling stories. The students were chaperoned by Dr. and Mrs. Sykes, Miss Helen Thompson. Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Osburn, Miss Hazel Woodhmll, Miss Ruth_Reicheldorfer, Miss Irene Nye, Dr. Nann Clark Barr and Mr. and Mrs. Henry-B. Selden. SUFFRAGE WORKERS TO ATTEND STORRS COURSES.

NORWICH MEN WIN PROMOTION IN NAVY Will Shertly Assigned to Sam’s Warships. Friends of Stanley J. Kalanski, 178 Cliff street, Willlam Burgess (no ad- Harold S. Darlie, 17 High Sage, 121 Cedar street, will be pleased to iearn that they have successfully complet- ed a period of training at the Naval Training Station, Newport, R. I, and have won first promotion. Thege young men are very enthusiastic about the navy and are making good in every regard. They are particularly Inter- ested in the daily physical exercises they are required to go through. They write that the training station is now taxed to its full capacity, having prac- tically twice as many men under train- ing now as was the case during peace times and that owing to the large number who have been given prelim- inary training, the drills and exercises are carried on with .a great deal of vigor and zest. Evervthing is run- ning like clock work and training sta- tion life is satisfactory. Shortly they will be assigned to one of the battleships, destroyers or sub- marines of the U.'S. navy and in view of the keen interest in these ships which are to play such an important part in the making of our_ country’s future history, this paper has made arrangements with the U. S. Navy Publicity Bureau, New York, whereby it can keep in touch with voung men from this locality who are serving their country in this branch of the mii- itary service. Specfal endeavor will be taken to follow up these young men throughout this world-wide con- ct. The expressions of these young men are but a reiteratign of those o; the thousands of saflors now in their coun- try’s service. For a hundred vears the navy has made brilliant history and ziven the world a line of heroes from John Paul Jomes to George Dewey. The navy has always been the first line of defense. Today it is In active conflict with the enemy co-operating with the ships of our allles. Tt may be of interest to mention the fact that the young men who register for selective draft on June 5th do not become ineligible for enlistment in the navy. The pay of the lowest rat- ing in the navy has been Increased to £32.60 per month and the opportunities for prometion are greater than ever before.

It is interesting to note conditions and tie state of people’s minds in America in 1800—117 years ago. Dwight N. Hewes of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce has a book of “Divine Hymns, or Spiritual Eongs, for the use of religious assemblies and private Christians,” printed by John Trumbull, Norwich, in 1800. The first and third of the 14 verses in the “Judgment Hymn” are as follows: Ses! how the nations rage together, Seeking each other’s blood; See how: the Scriptures are fulfilling; BSinners, awake and turn to God. ‘We read of wars, and great commo- tions, ‘To come before that dreadful day; Sinners’ quit your sinful courses, And trifle not your time away. —Hartford Times.

Waldo Newbury had played 'or him once before this spring. when he was one of the few chosen to play at a students’ recital given in Dr. Bonnet's honor. At that time Dr. Bonnet commended young Mr. New- s playing very highly.

TEACHERS WILL TELL OF REGISTRATION DAY Belioved They Will be of Great Help in Getting Message Into Homes. School authorities in every Connecti- cut town and city will receive before Friday night copies of bulletins out- lining the purposes of Registration Day, next Tuesday, for distribution to all the teachers in thelr communities. The Connecticut Council of Defense, through its publicity committee, has called upon every teacher in the state to assist in the ask of spreading Reg- istration Day knowledge. It is believed by the council that the teachers will be of great help in get- ting the Registration Day message in- to the homes. They are asked to de- vote part of next Monday afternoon, preferably the last half hour of the session, to telling their pupils whit their big brothers and fathers are cail- ed upen to do the following day, wnen all men between the ages of 21 and 31 must register. The bulletin sent out by the council of defense to the teachers follows: To the Teachers of Connecticut: Tuesday, June 5th, has been desig- nated by President Wilson as Regis- tration Day for every man in the United States 21 to 31 years of age. Those who have charge of the ar- rangements for the observance of Registration Day in this state hereby urge the teachers of the state to as sist in the preliminary work for reg- isration, by asking you to explain_the plan to your pupils on Monday, June 4th, especially to those pupils whose families may be unable to read Ing- lish. Please explain the following facts to_the children 1—June 5th is to be observed as Registration Day throughout the United States. 2—The hours of Registration are from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. Please learn the places of registration for your di: trict and give instructions to children as to_their location. 3—The registration includes all male residents whether born in this country or not, of whatever race or nationality, “who 'shall have attained their 2lst birthday and who shall not have at- tained their 31st birthday, on or before day set for registratio; 4—Make it very plain that the obli gation of registration is a requirement of law, as well as a patriotic duty, and that a heavy penalty imposed for failure to register. This request is made with the a surance that you will render the se vice entailed as an opportunity to “do your bit” for vour state and country. Governor Marcus H. Holcomb in- formed the Connecticut Council of De- fense at a meeting of the Council held at the State Capitol that he would have letters mailed Thursday night to every clergymen at all their services on Sunday. The letters will outline briefly the legal and moral obligation of every man between 21 and 31 years of age to register on Tuesday. Another Registration Day feature decided upon by the defense council calls for liberal displays of flags registration places next Tuesday. The council voted that all mayor d first selectmen in the state he urged to fly the American flag from the reg- istration places and, in addition, that the flags of our allies be used where- ever possible. All employers of labor will be asked under another vote of the council, to prepare for the authorities before June 5 lists of all employves of registerable ages who have entered the state since March 31 or who, for any other reason.
