The first week of-the actual train- ing of the recruits at Camp Devens for the new nationa] army has con- vinced Maj. ‘Gen. Harry F.

The, way in_which the young men from all over New England have ac- cepted life at the armyv post and have smiled at the few hardships ‘they have cencountered. together with the spirit of co-operation which dominates each unit, argues well for the future of the national army, high officers say. There is no denying that it has been a strenuous week for the soldier boys, but they have come through with'fiying colors and are looking for- ‘ward eagerly to the next step in their training as soldiers of the United States. Much work has been done durine the week in getting the boys initlated in the rudimentary knowledge of sol- diering.

Rev. William F. Cavanaugh formerly of Nprwich, who s deaf, seconded the pleas of the condemned men’s counsel for leniency, saving the intelligence of the pair was much be- low normak the national guard unit: Intensive Training The Ruls. Intensive training is the rule and while the boys have to work hard, during the day, they are given an op- portunity for reécreation each night. The camp routine is having its ef- fect on the health of the men and there are few recruits who have not shown beneficial effects. They eat hard, they work hard and they sleep hard! The systematic habits which they arc -required to fall into, are making new men of them. The camp routine starts each morn- ing shortly before 6 o'clock, when the first call is sounded. It was hard for some of the men to make prompt re- sponse to the call during the first few days but there are few of them who have any such difficulty at the pres- ent time. “Farly to bed and early to rise,” is the motto u:d’mln- have de- cided that they.have missed a whole lot by l'llllnl to put it into practice before théy were compelled to do it. After the first call comes the as- sembly, and a hearty breakfast of plain but substantial food, which has had the effect of giving the men ap appetite for work. There is a period of police work around the camp, which transiated Home Guard Drill. Company I, C. H. G., held thelr reg-. ular drill at the Armory Monday night.

Cold Bothers the Recruits. The real hardship which the re- cruits encountered was the cold. Al- though the recruits were not are of it they were being closely observed by the officers during the unseason- able weather and the lack of com- plaints and genera! attitude of the soldier boys to accept whatever came theilr way were the cause of much re- Jjoicing, demonstrating the real caliber of the men that the United States has ‘cnlled to the colors. Most of the boys have now.been out- fitted and they are beginning to feel more llke regular soldiers. It was a little depressing. to go through thé drills and camp work in civillan at- tire, and it is surprising what a change the uniforms have made in the men. They have acquired a mil- ftary and erect carriage, and it fs difficult for the good people of Ayer who saw them when they ar- rived, to belleve that they -are the same men. There a good-natured rivalry among the various units at the camp to keep the barracks and gun’ound!ns grounds in ship-shape or- er. The most pleasinz feature of the opening week at the camp has been the atutude oi the Plattsburg officers toward the men in their commands. Many of the Plattsburg trained men come from wealthy families, but they have given a practical demonstration of the real meaning of democracy in :‘he great collection of men encamped cre. For Non-Coms. The first 2,000 men who arrived at the camp are working especiallv hard acquire sufficient military knowl- edge to get promioted to non-commis- sioned officers. It has not come hard for some of them who have had pre- vious military training, but even the rookles are making surprising pro- | stoss. The men are given an opportunity to take turns in acting as non-com- missioned officers and they have prised their commandfrs with ‘o ability that they have shown after auch “short training. The impression has spread around among the drafted nien that when the next infrement of 16,000 men arrives next week the first arrivals will have an opportunity to be elevated to the non-commissioned posts, and they want to be prepared for them. A vaudeville theatre has been es- tablished on the campgrounds this week and has furnished excellent en- tertainment for the men. The com- mittee on training camp activities is pianning to censor all public enter- tainments in places around the camp to insure that the soldier boy wiil have for amusement only that which is proper. Particular attention will be paid to moviyg pictures. An effort will be made to have managers of all public amusement places in the neaf- by citles and towns co-opcrate with the committee. From the progress which already has been made no diffi- culty Is anticipated. CLAIMANTS ASK FOR LUMP SUM SETTLEMENTS Case is Heard and Decision #eserved by Commissioner Donohue J. Donohue held a hearing in Willi- mantic on Monday on petition of the widows of the six men 7illed at Staf- ford Springs Crossing some months ago when the auto in which they were being transported from their work to their homes In Willimantic was struck by a passenger train some months ago. The claimants in the cases have re- quested Iymp sum settlements and the hearing was held to give the claim- ants a chance to state. their clnims be- fore the commissiorier. Decision was reserved by Commissioner Donohue. The men were in the employ of La- tham and Crane of Willimantic at the time of the accident. Th commissioner awarded $20 000 in compensation last March to the de- | penderis of the six men killed in the accident. The case was one of the most perplexing that has come to the attention of the commissioner and was decided after much thought and re- search. The dependents in the,case are as follows: Lula E. Lason, widow of W. Lason, painter. Cora T. Osterhaut widow of Pres- ton Osterhaut. carpenter. Harriet M. Koval, widow of Fred A. Koval, painter. - Alice May Swanson widow of An- drew 8.

COPP application, passed the physical ex- amination with no defect noted, but was not accepted because of lack of previous military training.

STATE AGENCY OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Defense Council Now Has County and Town Auxiliary Organization. An appreciation of the often repeated statement that this war ls one really of nations rather than of mere armies is necessary to a correct understanding iand comprehension of the position in the machinery of the federal govern- ment and the: several states of the Council_of National Defense and the many state councils of defense. The departments of the government at {vashington and in the states of the Tnion are essentially adapted to times of peace and are designed to effectuate their activities only under that con- ditign, When this country became in- volved in the war, the experience of the nations abroad had already demon- strated that the strength of every in- dividual must be utilized and made | available for aggressive military opera. tions because the struggle was so vast that it penetrated In one way or an- other and had a vital influence upon the lives and activities of every in- habitant. This being the case, it became man- ifest immediately, in fact, had been clear for almost a year, that the reg- wmiar establishments of the sovern- ment could not be sufficiently expand- ed to cope with this great work. for its magnitude can be somewhat com- prehended when one realizes that it means a conscious and actual co-ordi- nation of the energy of a hundred mil- lion people, 95 per cent. of whom, at contact with the machinery of state. It was with this in_mind that as 1ong ago as August 29, 1916, the Coun- cil of National Defense was establish- ed by act of congress. The Connecticut Council of Defense was later appointed and now haw county and town auxiliary organiza- tions in all parts of the state. WILL SELL H. & A.
