H. Trumbull | announced this morning his intention or having the men in the ranks enter inté com- corporals and these officers in all probability will not be named until after the company has had more experience'in drilling and the mémbers get an op- portunity to show their capacity for leadership in military affairs. Captain Trumbull has named Ever-’ ett Distin for first sergeant; Frederick Bullen quartermaster ‘' sergeqnt; Wil- lam Cassidy,~first duty sergeant and Charles Roberts, second duty ser- geant. ' The appointments announced are in keeping with Captain Trumbull’s declaration that in an effort to make the Plainville unit second to none in the state he would select for officers the men of most experience and suit- abllity ‘for the ‘posts gardless of their social, financial or political po- sitions in the community. Sergeants Distin, Cassidy and Roberts have all been in the regular army and are well versed in military evolutions and the rules governing army divisions. Mr. Bullen has served in the Na- tional Guard for a pumber 'of years, and he, too, is well fitted for the place to which he has been assigned. Captain Trumbull was in' Hartford yesterday afternoon to confer with the state’s military emergency board regarding the Plainville company. He was particularly anxipus to secure information as to the equipment . to be furnished to the local unit and the probable time of its arrival here. The board has been so rushed with work during the past few weeks that its af- fairs have not been placed in order and the members find trouble in giving definite promises regarding the delivery of equipment. Captain Trumbull, was advised, however, that the requisition; from Plainville was one of -the first to be flled with the board and it is proposed to distribute the uniforms and arms in the order in which the applications were re- ceived. It is expected that the equipment for the local company will be here during the next week, prob- ably hefore Wednesday. For the present Captain Trumbull proposes to continue the plan of drilling” his men in squads in the town building. Later the entire company will be assembled to go through the manual of arms after which the men will be ordered to report regularly, probably on Saturday afternoons and Sunday, for outside drill. The mem- hers had hoped that the would be able to participate in the Patriots’ Day parade in New Britain next Thursday, but the delay in the shipment of equipment will probably make this impossible. Dr. L. H. Frost and George Kent in charge of organizing of medical corps which is to be connected with ‘the guard had been advised by the sur- geon general that their plan has his approval. They have been authorized to give their men instruction in first ald and other duties which will be part of the work of the corps. Com- missifns for officers of the corps will probably be given in a few days. To Make Surgical Dressings. A meeting of the women of the town has been called for Monday af ternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Edwin Hills for the purpose of forming an organization to affiliate with the National Civic Federation. The society is made up of patriotic women of the country who are bandx ing together to provide surgical dress-| ings for wounded soldiers. All women of the town interested in the plan are invited to attend the meeting. Mrs. Edwin Hills is serving as chairman and is taking a great in - terest in the plan. Fake Solicitors. F. L. Benzon, secretary of the Busi- ness and Improvement association, received a letter this morning from Secretary Nichols of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce advising him of the activities of two women who are said to be visiting manufacturing concerns in this locality to solicit sub- scriptions for a catalogue for the pub- lic libraries of Plainville and* Terry- villee They are alleged to have in- timated that the subscription money is to be turned over to the library butiding funds in the towns in ques- tion. The women do not represent any organization interested in the li- ‘braries in either places and the Bris to! Chamber of Commerce'is warning manufacturers against making contri- butions. One of the women wag detained in Bristol vesterday afterngon by the po- lice. She denied that there was fraud connected with her money. She de- clered that she was simply soliciting advertising for library catalogues and she disclaimed having made any false representations in connection with her convass. -She was advised to,leave the city. s Open From 12 to 1.

At the present time the office is open practically all day. The postal department permits of the opening of post office lobbies on Sundays in towns that are well po- liced but makes no provisions for the paying of clerks to be on duty on the Sabbath. Postmaster Prior has been looking after the office himself on Sundays. He does not consider it necessary or advisable, however, have the lobby open all day as there is no distribution of mail on Sundays. Hence the order for closing except from 12 to 1 o’clock. Orphans Land Here. Two little girls, inmates of the Po-. lish Orphanage in New Britain, left that institution yesterday without the consent of the officials in charge to visit an aunt, who they bellevedl lived in Plainville. théy landed here about 9 o'clock last night and were taken in charge by Constable Marino. municated with the orphanage. but the parties answering the ’phone stat- ed that they would be unable to come after the youngsters last night, suggesting that they be placed in the lock-up ‘until morning. Constable Marino didn’t cénsider that the cells provided by the town to harbor law violators were quite the proper place for accommodations for little girls and he refused to lock thém up. @ told Selectman Johnson of the conditions and the latter called up the orphanage in an effort to get a repre- sentative here to bring the children back to the institution. He met with a curt refusal. He finally promised to act as escort himdelf for the girls as far as New Britaij center, pro- viding the orphanage officials would have a man attend them for the bal- ance eof the journey. He had to threaten to take up the matter with higher authorities before he could se- cure an agreement to his proposition. The disposition of the orphanage officials against lending a hand to get the girls back delayed their return until nearly 11 o’clock last night. At the Chwithes. .

It is difficult even for the fighting men actually to @rasp the situation, a situation for which they have waited so long. The Germans possibly feel the change more than any one else, for, abtove all things, they love their underground comfort. The Germans were the first to transfer fighting to ditches and they are reluctantly giv- ing up that style of warfare. The deep concreted dugouts and tunnels along the old front were the only protection the Germans had against the ever-increasing British gunfire and every time they get an oppor- tunity to pause now they begin to digin..

The British have always contended that the German dugouts ‘softened the men, who con- gregated in them always'and could only be kept with difficulty in the open trenches 8o it was easler to break the British off the trench habit than has been the case with the Ger- mans. . New Army Trained to Open Work. Open field tactics have been a part of the training of -the new British army ever since its organization be- ban in 1914. There has been some criticism of that. system from time to time on the ground that the war would always he fought from trench te trench, but for the last few months the British army in France has been drilled in open tactics almost daily. The results of these training niethods have been apparent in the last few days and undoubtedly ‘will prove still more valuable in the wider operations which are unquestionably coming. The correspondent saw a bit of fleld maneuvering two days ago in which the British troops completely outwitted part of one of Germany's crack regiments. ing commentary that when the war began the officer in command of the British unit was a young solicitor and such a thing as leading soldiers into battle had never entered his head. Two vears of training in the school of actual war works its own ‘wonders. Losses Surprisingly Small. The losses in the recently inaugu- rated operations, which continue to widen with time, have been so much smaller than would be naturally ex- pected in attacks upon such strong positions as those from which the Germans have been driven, that the army authorities are fairly jubiliant. Another gratifying feature of the fighting has been the speed with which the British troops have every- ‘where obtained their objectiye.
