It was even necessary to disappoint some, who doubtless woul have attended, as the committee was forced to limit the ‘sale of tickets on account of the size of the hall, the applications for res_ ervations having been attended to in the order in which they were present- ed. The hall was prettily decorated with apple blossoms and it looked very at- tractive. The plays enjoyed the eve- ing thoroughly. After they had fin- ished playing cards, dancing was en- joyed. Messrs. Ohman and Ander- son of New Britain furnished the music. Mr, and Mrs. Charles Mitchell of New Britain captured the awards at whist. The prizes for *500” went to Mrs. C. N. Parsons and Mrs. A. Q.

Rabbish Dumpward Bound. The campaign of the Business and Improvement association for cleaning up Plainville was given impetus this morning when the town teams start- ed in the eastern section gathering up the accummulateg rubbish to cart to ‘the dumping grouhd. Two teams were furnished by the selectman and they were on the move all day. That the townspeoble were interested and willng to co_operate in the movement was evidenced from the fact that in front of nearly every house east of the railroad crossing this morning boxcs and barrels filled with tin cans and other refuse could be seen awaiting the arrival of the .clean-up wagons and the trip to the dump. Tomorrow the teams will cover the west ‘side of the town ‘and residents of that secton were busy today pre- paring for them. The streeets in- tomorrow“are: Bank, through Pearl to the end; Washington to railroad bridge; Broad street, west to Bohemia; West Main to Bohemia. The crusade this year bids fair to be the most successful yet conducted. Reports on Night School. " Principal O. L.

The school has a registration of forty and Principal Judd’s report shows the average attenaance for the twenty-four sessions held to be twenty-one. The pupfils, most of whom were non-English speaking residents, seemingly toox a good in- terest in their work amd they made considerable progress. Next year there is a possibility that the school will open early and during the term will hold at least seventy- rive sessions, which is enough to get assistance from the state. This.year the expense was borne entirely by the town. Brief Items, Sequassen lodge will confer the initiatory degree at its regular meet- ‘ng to be held this evening in Odd Fellows' hall.

Nearly all the special news des- patches from northern, France and the Belgian frontier say the Germans are massing men for a new assault in the direction of the French ports, and as gas now seems to be a regular ad- junct of the German attacks the allies expect it will play an important part hereafter whenever the direction of the wind is favorable to the Germans.

In view of the complexities of the situation there is comparatively little editorial comment in the London pa- pers on the Chinese-Japanese situa- tion, Nevertheless, there are indica- tions that the public is acutely inter- ested in the progress of the negotia- tions between Tokio and Peking. Artillery boomed in London, today. The shots were not aimed at aircraft or any hostile raider, but were in honor of the fifth anniversary of the accession of King George to the throne. The suggestion that Great Britain adopt measures in retaliation for the use of gases in battle by the Germans took concrete form today.
