Barbour, Returned to Camp Upton —News That William N. Mansfield Has Been Wounded at Devens Five Men Leave For Syracuse—Car. rier George D, Clark Sells Nearly $30000 W. S. 8 . Private Edward M, Barbour, East Thompson, of a regiment stationed at Camp Upten, has been returned to that cantonment after being responsible for a dramatic happening in this city. At the week-end Barbour appeared at the office of the exemption board and roundly abused all connected with inducting men into service from this district. He claimed that his mother cannot live without his aid and in the meantime he had appealed to John G. Johnson to give him $100 of Red Cross money to help out in the care of his mother. Mr. Johnson was inclined to aid the man, but decided to investigate be- fore doing so. Barbour tecld a very plausible story, that afterwards proved to be a tissue of falsehoods, but be- fore this was discovered Mr. Johnson had given him $10, which afterwards ‘was recovered. Though Barbour raged like a lion against those who inducted hint into service, he later begged as no man in this district ever has begged, and those who heard him say the exhibi- tion was one of the most pitiful of which they have knowledge and some- thing like they never wish to witness s record of connection with the selective service law is as follows: He registered originally in Brogklyn, N. Y, and fell under the jurisdiction of a iocal board in that city. In due course of time, having failed to file questionnaire, he was sought out in this district and required to do so. Still later he was physically examined here and inducted.into service, by di- rection of the Brooklyn, N. Y., board, being sent to Camp Upton. o more was heard from him until he appeared Saturday and began his abusive tirade. His effort to get mon- ¢y from the iocal Red Cross chapter was found to be without merit, as what he said proved to be a string of falsehoods. hrough channels that are open the exemption board officials here it was learned durinz the very time he was blustering about that he was ab- sent from Camp Upton without leave, Fifteen minutes before, he had sol- emnly stated, that he was on furlough to from Ca When he was con- tronted charge of untruth- fulness he raged more. Getting out on the street ,he was told to return to the exemption board office, ich he flatly refused to do and ran when an oficer was called i artess him, which was accomplish- ed. After he had been placed under ar- he broke down utteriy. Tears reamed down his cheeks as he beg- d for mercy and he even threw his neck of one of the pleaded not to be “You can’t real- " he cried and 1 may ance and never come could be heard for a block pt it up for half an hour, and sobbing. He was lock- ywever, and later delivered amp Upton. where, though e July 1, he had not been deserter, admitted his horror over t of going into the fizht- | i France, but he did not \-t‘m much concerned over what hard- 1ips migat befall any boy who would e called to take his place. That was phase of the matter that held no terest for him. Intimate investigation of his ease show that his dependency claim, though he is married, have no more merit than have the other claims, and the statements that he made. His mother has the assistance of another son, and his wife, taken not long ago, is in ordinary good health. Barbour was taken back to Camp Upton by Officer Eugene Gagne. Start For Camp Syracuse. A groun of five registrants of the imited service class left here at 7 7 o'clock Monday morning for Camp able to get full information relative to the proposition from the workers and at the enroliment stations. Mrs. Robinson said Monday after- noon that the Student Nurses' reserve opens a wonderful opportunity for the young women who wish to take a course of training for the profession. Primarily, those who volunteer will g0 to fill their own individual niche in the nation’s war machine ,for the government is making the call, and the student nurses are wanted to fill the places of the thousands of grad- uate nurses who have gone or are| going with the country’s armies over- seas. Those who volunteer will recetve a complete training course, extending from two to three vears, and will re- ceive. it without expense, as uniforms and text oooks will be supplied them, as, of course, theirtliving expense. Young women between the ages of 19 to 35 are wanted. The_volunteers must have had high school ‘training at least, but those who have had college courses are preferred. Those who go into the service may rightfully count themselves volunteers in the cause of freedom, young wo- men who rate before the nation on the same plane with the miilions of young men who are wearing the army 79c $1.35 $2.45 Syracuse, 2 where they will train to be members of guard and fire com- panies that will do duty at embarka- tion points in this country. WOUNDED AT DEVENS Unexplained News of Injury to Wil- liam N. Mansfield, A telegram received here Monday told of the wounding of William Nel- son Mansfield of this city. Mr.- Mans- field is in service at Camp Devens, but up to Monday afternoon nothing was known here as to how he came to be injured. but it is believed that it was accidental. Five Men Called For Fort Slocum. The adjutant general of Connecticut filed a call here Monday afternoon for five men to go from this district to Fort Slocum, N. Y. on Aug .5. The men who are to make up this contin- zent are: Leon Miron Dodge, Wood- stock; Arthur Lagrandeur, Grosvenor- dale; Eugene A. Latour, Putnam; Harry Linwood Warren, ~Danielson; Joseph A. Guertin, Putnam. These men, it is understood, are to be assizned to regular army units. Student Nurses Wanted. Recruiting. is now goingz on in this district for volunteers for the Student Nurses' reserve. Young women who have had a high school education at least are wanted. They must be be- tween 19 and 35 vears of age and in good health. Volunteers will be given a course of training at government | expense, this to extend over two or three years, and their living, uniforms and text books will be furnished free of charge.

Saturd1y evening a light touring car and a heavy truck were in collision the car passed the truck and turned too quickly in front of it, with the result that the truck lifted the rear end of the car, throwing the weight on the front wheels, which were de- molished. The driver of the truck ran his_machine into a ditch to avoid in- juring the occupants of' the car. and it could not return to the shighway under its own power. About 2 c'clock Sunday morning a loaded _ five-ton truck came along and pulled the first truck cut of the ditch, when it went on its way by its own potwer with Boston for its destination. No one was injured in the mixup. The board oi assessors commenced their tour of inspection of taxable property in town Monday morning.

Automobilists of Rhode Island have been warned that when they enter Connecticut, they must conform strict- 1y to the headlizhts law of that state, or pay the penalty. The state board of public roads have received notice to that effect and also informed that the law would be enforced at once on all foreign automobiles. The Connec- ticut headlight law was passed at the 1917 session -of the legislature, but it was not applied to visiting automo- bilists, as the officials decided. to test it in Connecticut owned machines at first.
