As there are now for- ty-eight candidates to be examined, it is expected that the doctor will be husy for the next few days. Three men were added -to the lists last night, one of them, J. K. Fraser, having served with ~the ' Canadian army at a home station. H, J. Smith, Berlin's well known author, was an- other man that signified his_attention of belonging to the and he was sworn in by the officers in charge. The third man to join last” night was A. Casalengo. In order to stimulate recruiting the officers haveé decided to open offices in ]ench of the districts of the town and ltherelore starting tonight at 7 o’clock the plan will go into effect. The East Berlin office will be incharge of L. A. Westeott and E. W. Mildrum and will be in the library; at Bérlin the of- fice will be in the town clerk’s office and in Kensington the officers will hold forth in Fagan’s store. Wity an office in each district it is expected that the desired fifty men will be reached tonight and that by the time for the drills to start there will be at least seventy-five men in the com- pany. A committee of men have been in the south part of the town the last few days looking over the ground for a rifle range and have discovered an ideal location for such a project. The range will be 300 yards and it is the intention of those in charge to have the company march to the grounds after they have had a few drills and put the grounds in first class shape. Just who will drill the men has mot been announced yet but for the pres- ent someone from out of town will have charge. Drills will be in either the Town hall or Foresters’ hall. Dangerous Grass- Fire. For a short time vesterday it looked as {f an appeal would have to be sent to the New Britain fire depart- ment for aid in fighting a large grass fire in the southern part of the town. lJun how or when. the fire started is not known but when discovered it was well under way in the flelds be- longing to the Norton and Brandegee estates. A call for volunteers soon brought a number of men and boys into action but for a time it looked | as if the farm house of A. E. Cran- | dall was doomed. The flames faned by the wind were making alarming speed | toward the house when the fire fight- ers left the section they were fighting } and took up a new stand between the house and the advancing fire. It was not until after an hour’s hard work that the fire was under control and it took some time after that to put the | last traces out. Men and boys tramp- j ing through the fields and woods at ! this time of vear have got to take | great precautions in regard to lighted matches or small fires for the leaves i and dry grass are like tinder and it is | a very easy matter to start.a serious forest fire. Auction at Foresters. | At the meeting of the Foresters in their hall on Farmington road tomor- row night there will be an auction sale. The committec in charge of the entertainment have very fttle to say about the matter and it is thought that they are planning n big <urprise for the members that attend. In addi- tion to the auction, Lecturer John Fitzsimons will deliver an address on “Forest fires and what the state is do- ing to prevent them.’ ’ Observe Matron’s Night.

Tokio, April 4.—Prediction that all the nations of the world will adopt a protective tariff policy after the war in order to check the importation aof forelgn: goods and encourage ' home manufacturers, was made by Viscount JTchirp Motono, the foreign minister, in an address before the Japan For- eign Trade association. The best way to meet the situation which would re- sult, he said; would be to carry on manufscturing industries in the coun- try where the goods manufactured are to be sold. “In such a country as Russia where industry still is in an infantile state,” he said, “such enterprises can he car- ried on with the best possible result and to the best imaginable ndvantage. T strongly recommend this theory to our enlightened merchents,” ‘Viscount Motono urged the Japan- ese manufacturers to stop the expor- tation of inferior goods which, he said, was damaging the commercial reputation of the Jltplll. empire, has FErect Barriers Plainville News DUFFY TO RANK AS FIRST LIEUTENANT Former National Guardsman to Be Second in Command of Unit GWILLIM WANTS EFFIGIENCY Recruiting Committce Mcmber, Slated for Important Office, Sacrifices Per- sonal Ambitions in the Interests of the Company—Other Matters. Sacrificing personal ambitions in the interests of harmony and efficien- cy, Stanley S. Gwillim has acceded to the demand “for the appointment of Peter F. Duffy as first lieutenant of the Plainville unit of the Home Guard, and the recruiting committee h recommended to the state board that the former national guardsman be placed next in authority to Captain J. H. Trumbull. It had been original- ly planned to make Mr. Gwillim first lieutenant, but the latter favored giv- ing the commission to Mr. Duffy, whose experience in military affairs is bound to be of incalculable value in the development of the Plainville company. Mr. Gwillim will take the second lieutenancy instead. His action will go a long way towards nrengthenit'g the local or- ganization and will 'further increase his popularity with the members of the guard. Because of his tactical knowiedge, there was strong senti- ment favorable to Dr. Duffy’s selection as one of the lieutenants, and Mr. Gwillim's willingness to endorse him as his superior is evidence of his sin- cerity in working to make the Plain- ville unit second to none in the state and to put nothing~in the way of de- veloping the company with a har- monious feeling existing among the members. : . With the presentation of leuten- ancy commissions to Mr. Duffy and Mr. Gwillim, the ranks. of the com- missioned officers are now complete and the work of selecting lesser of- ficials will begin. The sergeants and corporals will be named by, the com- missioned officers and their appoint- ment will'be made when the person- nel of the guard is complete and the members have had an opportunity to show their fitness for leadership. Additional enlistments made by the recruiting committee yesterday brings the number of men in t company up to 125, and the inquiries made by other prospective guardsmen indi- cates that Captain Trumbull’s hope to have the unit reach a strength of 150 will be realized before the end of the week. Enlistment blanks were called for by a number last evening and it is expected that the men who received them will report at the post- office this evening to take the oath. The committee will he on hand from 7 to 8 o’clock for this purpose. They will continue to meet until there are 150 men in the company, closing the enrollment when that number is reached. A second squad of twenty, ordered by Captain Trumbull to report for drill," had their initial instruction last evening in the Town Hall, William Cassidy, a veteran of| the Spanish American war, serving|as drillmaster. They went through the paces in a manner which demonstrated their eagerness to learn and to become ef- ficient members of the unit, and sev- eral of the evolutions they had mas- tered before they completed thelr task. The third squad will report tonight, the others assembling in divisions on other evenings during the week. Next week the equipment for the company is expected 1o arrive, although their is a possibility that the uniforms and guns will be here carlier, and within ten davs it is hoped sufficient progress have been made to warrant calling out the entire unit for company drill. Company exercises will have to he in the open, as the Town Hall is not large enough to pérmit of its use for the entire unit. and Captain Trumbull plans to have the men meet on Sat- urday afternoons and Sundays to go through the manoeuvers and get In shape for duty should their services be required in protecting the state from an enemy. Plan for: Lecture. The Choir Guild of the Church of Our Saviour is making arrangements for a lecture on Yellowstone park to be given in the Town hall on April 27 by Rev. R. R. Parker of Hart- ford. The committee in charge plans to have a s ort musical entertainment and a dauce in connection with the lecture. Want Streets Clean. Selectman Johnson has a force of men at work on the annual spring cleaning of the town’s highways, and the rubbish accumulation of the win- ter is being carted away to the dump- ing grounds. In connection with the carly clean- up campaign, the Business and Im- provement association has sent out letters to the merchants urging them to do their share towards keeping the streets in order. Owners of stores have been requested to refrain from sweeping rubbish into the gutters and to do what they can towards making Plainville a spotless town. Paper and other rubbish swept into the streets from the stores impairs .the attractiveness of the center. The Rusiness Men's association feels that the merchants can do a great deal toward making Plainville/ a cleaner looking community. Hence their ap- peal for co-operation. Good Friday Observance. Good Friday will be observed in Plainville in the usual fashion. There will be a general suspension of busi- ness. The factories will close for the day and the stores will be open for 1017, C: HARTFORD SILK STORE HARTFORD S.HILLS & CO.; Leaders in Silks and Dress Goods for Over 'n;ue—Qunnen of a century.

Taxpayers Settling. 5 Although they.have the entire month in which to 'settle their ac- counts without having to pay the in- terest charges provided by law for delinquency, many of the taxpayers have already paid up. Collector Hemingway has sent out practically all the bills and during the past three days he has received returns from a large number of them. The returns.from taxes this year will be the largest in the history of the town, the extra assessment of four mills laid to raise part of the money required for the schoolhouse addition bringing the rate up to nine- teen mills. This is in addition to the $2 personal tax which ‘has to be paid by the mafjority of' property owners as well as other residents who do not contribute on real estate holdings. Sent to Jail.
