Local Yeung Men Drawn to Appear Before Exemption Board—Salvation- ists Held Open Air Meeting. Much interest was aroused in Bal- tic Friday when it was learned that the serial numbers in the national draft were being announced from the Norwich Bulletin. . A number of local youhg men who were subject to draft took advantage of the opportunity and went to Nor- ‘wich to learn their fate. Others, how- ever, remained at work and awaited the result. A number of Baltic boys, as well as others residing in differ ent cities and towns in New Eng- land were anxious to know their number and Town Clerk Arthur P. Cote was kept busy answering tele- phone calls. Through some error Mr. Cote did not receive a return of the “red ink” serial numbers. Anxious parents, sisters and sweet- hearts eagerly awaited the arrival of The Bulletin Saturday morning to as- certain if their loved ones had been called Into the service. Thirty-eight numbers were drawn for this district, and of this number 18 will be required to pass the ex- amination to enter the service. Town Clerk Cote was the second official in New London county to re- turn the registration.

The latter party was heavily engaged by gunfire all down the Essex coast and finally proceeded homeward without dropping more bombs. The raiders ‘were pursued o:il tlo sea fid;u\‘fllly engaged by our airplanes, but the visi- bility “was low and the difficulties of observation were very great. “The casualties at Felixstowe and Harwich so far are ‘eight killed and twenty-five injured.’ Enemy Machines Heard. ‘The morning broke bright and sun- ny, but a thick haze soon appeared. At about 8 o’clock the enemy machines were heard and were seen flylng high and fast toward the coast. They re- ceived a hot reception from the im- proved defense in the shape of anti- aircraft gunfire and were hardly well over the coast before their formation was broken up. They dropped bombs hastily before retreating. New Warning Signa Observers say that the gunfire which followed the section which went » { down the Eissex coast reached a pitch of unusual intensity. It was the move. ments of this squad which caused the firing for the first time of new warn- ing eignals in London. British planes pursued the Germans well out to sea, fighting vigorously all the time, but hand! ed by the low visibility. Reports of heavy firing re- celved from various quarters indicate that the authorities have made a con- siderable improvement in the defenses since the last raid over London. ‘Today’s attempt lasted barely two hours. Thousands of persons turned out along the coast when the British planes went up, in the hope of seeing battles in the air, but the combatants soon disappeared In the haze. A correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph company telephoned from the Isle of Thanet that warning signals were sounded in a number of coast towns and that firing was heard soon afterwards. A number of airplanes which were already in the alr proceeded in the direction of the firing, followed by fighting planes. Soon the signal that the raiders had been driven off was given.

Friday evening a large crowd assem- bled in front of the Cote block on Railroad street to listen to an address delivered by Joe, the Turk, from the Norwich headquarters of the Salva- tion Army. The big representative announced his arrival in town by sounding a bugle call. Dressed in a red uniform, decorated with medals, he soon had a large audience. He was accompanied by members of the Army. Preceding his address one of members explained their mission in Baltic. He then introduced the Turk as speaker of the eveping. He re- lated interesting incidents in his life and playved a number of selections on different instruments. At the conclusion of this open air meeting the members of the army and others in town proceeded to the Methodist Episcopal church where a service was being held by the mem- bers of one of the societies. The Sal- vationist addressed the members and explained the good work being done by the Salvation Army in this country. Engagement Announced.

Some excitement was caueed in Lon- don by the sounding of the raid warn- ings, of which the first notice was given in this morning’s newspapers. Persons unaware of the intentions of the authorities were convinced when the firing of signals began that Ger- man airmen had again penetrated Lon- don’s defenses and were showering bombs on_the city. At 8.30 o'clock “sound bombs” were sent up from every fire station in the country, trans- forming the usual Sunday morning Guiet into a din which London now associates with an air raid. The sig- nal consisted of three bombs fired at intervals of, a quarter of a minute. There were distinct reports as the bombs left the small mortars and loud Local Men at Backus Hospital— Borough Boys Answer Uncle Sam's Call—8unday School Picnic.

In giving no- tice that warning signals would be fired the authorities announced that such warnings would not be given un- til it appeared from information re- ceived from the military that an at- tack on London was intended. Fierce Air Fight. A correspondent in Bssex of the Exchange Telegraph company reports that he witnessed an aerial battle which lasted almost an hour. A squadron of seven German alrcraft, traveling westward, encountered a number of British planes, which com- pelled them to turn northward. They went in this direction about half a mile and then veered to the east. One German machine was cut off from the main body and surrounded by three British airplanes which drove it in the opposite direction until all four were lost in the haze. The pursuit of the others continued, all of the ma- chines climbing to a greater height as they fought. They attained an altitude of 15,000 to 18,000 feet and were soon lost fo sight. The total casualties in the air raid, according to an official statement is- sued this evening. number eleven kill- ed and twenty-six injured. The dam- age to property is insignificant. “A patrol of the Royal Flyin Corps,” says the statement, “encountered some hostile machines returning to Belgium and brought one down at sea near the coast.

Rhode Island’s twenty companies of Coast Artillery, with = heaquarters and sanitary detachment and two bands, have received official assign- ment to forts in Narrasansett bay, Eoston harbor and New Bedford. Fourteen companies are ordered in- to Narragansett bay fortifications, five to Boston harbor and one to New Bedford. Mobilization will take place at home stations and armories Wed- nesday morning at 8 o'clock and with- in four days the entire organization will proceed to the various destina- tions for active service as a coast de- fence. This will be the Coast artillery’s first complete participation in federal war duty, and a total of 2365 enlisted men and 89 commissioned officers, under Col. Charles F. Tillinghast, is affected by the order. The orzanization, now recruited to full war strength, is said to be the largest national guard unit under the command of a colonel in the United States. The 14 companies assigned to Nar- ragansett bay defences will g0 to Forts Adams, Wetherill, Getty, Kear- ney and Greble. These companies are distributed as follows First to Fort Adams; Third, Seventh, Eleventh, Six- teenth and Eighteenth to Fort Weth- erill; Fourth, Fifth (Westerly) and Fourteenth to Fort Getty Sixth, Eighth and Twelfth to Fort Kearney, and Fifteenth and Seventeenth to Fort Greble. The Second, Ninth, Tenth, Thir- teenth, and Twentieth companies, this last the newly recruited unit, are or- dered to Boston harbor, and the Nine- teenth company is to go to New Bed- ford. Nine men from the sanitary detach- ment will be sent to Boston harbor and thrée to New Bedford, but the remainder of these two units is de- tailed to the several Rhode Island forts. The First band is assigned to Fort Wetherill, but the destination of the Second band is not vet deter- mined, although it probably will- be one of the other bay forts. On Thursday, the day after mobil- ization, it is planned to transport the Fifth, (Westerly) Twelfth and Fif- teenth companies, now in federal ser- vice; and the First and Third com- panies to their respective forts. .On Saturday, two days later. the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Fourteenth and Sev- enteenth companies and the Second band will leave.

Washington, July 22. — Secretary Daniels, in a letter sent to the senate and made public today, explains at length the information on which he based his statement of July 3 regard- ing submarine attacks on the Amer- ican expeditionary force and reveals that inconclusive reports of the en- counter had reached the navy de- partment five days before the state- ment was issued. The secretary wrote in reply to Sen- ator Tillman, chairman of the naval committece, who sent a letter of in- quiry after a resolution had been in- troduced in congress requesting that the department sumbit the text of Rear Admiral Gleaves' despatch on the subject. Several senawrs have charged during debate that the secre- tary’s report was a grossly exaggerat- ed paraphrase of the report prepar- ed by the public informasion co mittee. The resolution, however, was not passed. In his, letter Mr. Daniels defends the statement and assures the naval committee that the text of the Gleaves' despatch is subject to its in- spection, although it obviousiy cannot be made public because of the names of vessels and other military informa- tion it contains. “Late in the afternoon of July 3rd.” wrote the secretary, “the welcome news came that the last ship of the convoys and transports carrying the first American soldiers and marines to fight in France had reached its destin- ation in safety, without accident or injury to men or ships. The navy de- partment had known for five days prior to their arrival that two attacks by submarines had been made, and you can well understand the painful anxiety lest torpedoes should have caused the loss of some of the brave men who wers ca:rying out this haz- ardous enterprise. You may imagine, therefore, the unspeakable relief to me which the news announcing the ar- rival of the last ship brought. This relief, was, of course, shared by all others in the department who had been apprehénsive every minute since June 28th, when Admiral Gleaves in a brief cable had reported that sub- marines had made attacks upon two divisions of the transports. “As soon as the news was commu- nicated by an officer of the depart- ment, I hastened to the war depart- ment, to apprise the secretary of war of the fact, for I knew he had felt the deepest solicitude, as he, too, was informed of the attacks. It was in no formal manner, I assure vou, that the good news was ziven to Secretary Baker and we shook hands in exulta- tion over the safety of our sailors and soldiers and the accomplishment of the first stage of giving present mili- tary aid to the allies. “At 6nce a statement was prepared and given out that evening, which T knew would Intensely gyatify all Americans. The message of Rear Ad- miral Gleaves, announcing the attacks, of conrse, had not been miven to the public, and consequently it had been spared anxiety. The statement which T gave to the public conveved the feeling of all who had been waiting nd hoping for the reassuring tele- The facts were stated not in the very words of the Gleaves’ cable- gram, for it is the immemorial policy of the department in time of war not to employ the language of a message coming in code. Otherwise it would be easy for the enemy to learn the @pher. Moreover, the message of the rear admiral contained the names of the ships, which for military reasons are never given out during a war. “The important part of the state- ment given to the public was that all our soldiers and marines and ships had been convoved to France in safety. Two of the groups arrived without be- ing attacked and two were unsuccess- fully attacked. If the terms ‘battle’ and ‘attacked in force’ are open to criticism, the fact still remains that the rejoicing was warranted. If the torpedoes, in either of the attacks, had sunk American ships, the criticism made would not have concerneq itself ‘with the difference between what might CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Bignanue af | = have been called a ‘battle’ or an ‘en-|kas poor facilities for training camp counter’ or a ‘brush.’ work. ~ Fort Logan H.
