STEAMER BURNING DISTRESS SIGNALS will be \Greek Ship Thessaloniki Reported 190 Miles Off Sandy Hook New York, Dec. 31.—The crippled steamer Thessaloniki which had been slowly nearing this port since last Wednesday was burning signals of distress early today and the steamer Florizel was searching for her. Radio messages picked up by shore stations brought this information. The lo- cation of the Thessaloniki was then in doubt but one message had report- ed her 190 miles east of Sandy Hook. ‘Whether the coast guard cutter Seneca which left here Wednesday morning to succor the distressed steamer had reached her could not ' be learned early today. Burning Distress Signals. Messages sent by the Florizel to- day were the first to indicate that the Thessaloniki was burning distress signals. It was suggested that the Thessaloniki was burning the signals 1o enable the other vessels to find her in the night. A few hours earlier the Florizel, while bound from Halifax to Cuban ports, picked up a wireless message from the liner and upon asking the Thessaloniki to report her positions and speed, received in reply, ‘“‘Same place all the time. Speed nil.” This was the first news that the liner had stopped. Yesterday she re- ported that she was proceeding at the rate of four miles an hour, She is bound from Piraeus to New York and it is understood that her engine Toom is partly flooded. Cutter Near Vessel. Newport,- R. I, Dec..31.—The coast guard cutter Seneca, which went to the assistance of the disabled Greek steamer Thessaloniki, reported through the Siasconset swireless sta- tion at 10 o’clock last night that she was within seventy miles of‘the posi- tion given by the Thessaloniki, but was unable to establish direct com- munication with her because of poor wireless conditions. Previous reports from the Seneca stated that she had not sighted a steamer near the position given in wireless messages early yesterday. ‘Wireless Working Badly. The radio station here sent out a distress message last night to all vessels at sea asking them to assist in the search and to be prepared to render immediate aid. It was said that one difficulty in locating the Thessaloniki was due to the fact that her wireless was working badly. The local station head heard nothing early today from the steamer Florizel which hag been searching for the Thessalonikf, Plainville News| COURT GEN. LAWTON SIXTEEN YEARS OLD | | Foresters Plan Big Celebration for Anniversary MAY REMOVE CONSERVATOR Officers to Be Installed January 10th— 0dd Fellows Elect—May Allow Russell to Manage Own Business— Funeral of Miss Scott, Court General Lawton, F. of A., will round out sixteen years as a fra- ternal organization on January S8th and committees have been appointed to arrange for a formal celebration of the anniversary on January 24th in Grange hall, The Foresters are vlanning for a social and entertain- ment on that evening and the mem- bers are looking forward to a most enjoyable session. Members of the card teams repre- senting the various courts which took part in the recent forty-five l-ournB,-‘ ment will be invited to attend the celebration and arrangements are being made for their entertainment. The Plainville court, while not par- ‘ticularly strong from a numerical viewpoint, having but forty members, has an excellent financial standing. Reports of its officers show that there | is a balance of about $2,000 in the treasury with all bills paid. The or- ganization has been fortunate in not baving to pay out a very large amount for sick and death claims, which ac- counts for the condition of its ex- chequer. During the sixteen years of ils existence but three of its members have died, a record seldom equalled by organizations of its size, The court is also planning for its installation of officers on January 10th. The exercises will be in charge of Deputy Grand Chief Ranger A. J. Greener. Those who will take the cbligations are: Chief Ranger—John Murphy. * Sub Chief Ranger—Michael Sulli- van, Recording Prior. Financial Secretary—Hugh Flood. Treasurer—John J. Bowen. Senior Woodward—Thomas Conlon. Junior Woodward—John Skinner. Senior Beadle—Albert J. Conlon. Junior Beadle—William Parkinson. Lecturer—James H. Cafferty. Trustee—William J. Foran. May Remove Conservator. Mrs. Rose A. Russell, who was ap- pointed some time ago conservator over her son, Thomas G. Russell, has made application to the probate court to be relieved of the duties and Judge George R. Byington will give a hearing on January Tth on the mat- ter of again permitting the young man to look after his own affairs, Mr. Russell's relatives, it is under- stood, are satisfied to have his con- servator removed and it is not ex- pected that any objection will develop at the hearing. 0dd Fellows Elect, Sequassen lodge, I. O. O. F. held its annual meeting last evening in Odd Fellows' hall and elected ‘the follow- ing officers for the ensuing term: Noble Grand—Allen M. Raymond. Vice Grand—E. F. Distin. Secretary—W. J. McKee. Financial Secretary—F. G. Osborne. Tréasurer—Ralph Morrill, Trustee—W. J. McKee.

Miss Scott was an active member of the Congregational church for many years and the pastor, Rev. F. L. Grant officiated at the obsequies this afternoon.

The first appli- cation of Resinol Ointment usually stops all itching and burning and makes your tortured skin feel cool and comfortable at last. Won't you try the easy Resinol way to heal eczema or similar skin eruption ? Doctors have prescribed it for 20 years. Sold by all druggists. Use Resinol Soap to clear a bad complexion. DRINK HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill. If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise await- ing you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi- gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleasing, sweeting and purifying the entire alimentary can- al. Those subject to sick headaches. backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime- stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning in- side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu- siastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and p+.e on the inside than on the outside, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing dis- ease, while the bowe! pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new, as milions of people prac- tice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the sto- mach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an inexpen- sive white powder and almost taste- less. _— convent about two years ago. Two of her brothers are priests. Rt. Rev. J. J.

New Year’s day will be observed here in the usual fashion. There will be a general suspension of business, except in the stores, which will be open for a short time in the morning to accommodate the trade. The local bank will be closed all day and holi- day hours will be observed at the post office. The factories will shut down, most of them for one day only. The plant of the Bristol Manufacturing company closed last night for two days during which inventory will be taken. The company usually shuts down for two weeks for this purpose, but it is so rushed with orders at the present time that a brief closing only is warranted. Brief Items.

HOW HORSES FARE IN EUROPEAN WAR 16,000 With Canadian Army Corps Fighting in France _— (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Ottawa, Canada, Dec. 28.—An inter- esting official account of how horses fare in war is contained in a report recelved here from the chief remount officer with the Canadian troops in France. There are approximately 15,- 000 horses with the Canadian army corps in France, and the report points out that even in modern warfare each infantry division of 21,000 men re- quires 6,200 horses. Continuing the report reads: “The horses of a division are taken care of by twelve veterinary officers and one mobile veterinary section of twenty-seven men, which attends to the horses in the firing line.

Five hundred and ninety-five eventually became fit for reissue, or to be sold as casts for easy duty. “The men work under the most try- ing conditions, often exposed to the fire of rifle and big gun.

Supply Never Diminished. “During the second battle of Ypres, when the Canadians were pressed to their utmost, at no time was the sup- ply of horses diminished at the firing line. As casualties occurred among battery and transport horses, rein- forcements were rushed through the storm of bursting shells to take their places. Although our guns were with- in three hundred yards of the enemy, there nevér was a wagon or a gun lost in what is known as one of the fiercest engagements that has taken place in this war. “Hotse’'s wounds heal more rapidly than a man's.
