This number exceeded the of the authaorities by out forty. ~Although the cards have been checked up and classified as E to those likely to be exempt the au- thorities stated this morning; that ose claiming exemption were very compared to the total number 4 and that only thase who have families and dependents put in plea.

Shaw and which was judged as ap- proximately correct, Kensington should have received 210 registrations, Berlin 150 and East Berlin 40. The fact that 281 men’ presented them- selves. and were registered by the officials at Kensington shows that the list made up was evidently wrong or that as one prominent man in Berlin this morning said: “The Kensington residents are always trying to outdo their neighbors in Berlin and yester- day, ‘judsing from all reports, they tried to rpiay* whole; hog or. none.” “To the victor belongs the spails,” is applicable in some cases but not true in every instance, which was fully and conclusively illustrated, if reports are true, at the Kensington precinet yesterday. Although they did receive the largest number of ap- plications they were kept continually on the jump and had to work for all they got. Especially was this so when the Italian population reported to sign up, fullowed by all the employes of the brick yards and the other dif- ferent factories. The congestion .be- came so bad on account of many of the foreigners being unable to speak & word of English that interpreters had to be called in and not until the en- tire crowd of the forelgn population had been registered could the regis- trars stop to mop their brows. However, at each registering place the plans of the officials which had been made several days hefore to bring the day to a successful finish showed to good advantage. The reg- | istration board is especially pleased with the effort put forth by those who volunteered their services and worked with efficiency to carry out the pro- gram ot the day in a commendable manner. Announce New Schedule. Sergeant Young of the soldier detail stationed at the depot announced to- day that a new schedule for the var- ious shifts had been planned and was being put into execution with suc- cess. Five men are now placed on guard duty at night and are under the direction of Sergeant Young or one of the two corporals, who alternate every third night, one going on duty at 6 and remaining until 12 when he is relieved by the second officer who stays on from 12 until 7. The third officer wha has charge of the day shift remains on duty from 7 in the : morning until 6 at night, thus com- pleting the twenty-four hours.

The closing of contracts with three new teachers will be reported to the school board at the June meeting to be held this evening, Secretary F. G. Osborne having secured the signa- tures of two 'instructors for the ex- tra rooms which the .addition now in course of construction will provide and a.third to fill a vacanocy. Members of the committee expect that f(:r the first time in years the teaching staft will be complete whaa the school closes for the summer va- cation. The board is negotiating with two other applicants for places which are expected to be vacant and as soun as the present teachers decide defin- itely as to what course they will - ar- sue, action will ve taken. Mrs. Harold L. Newell and Miss Johnson have declined to accept re- election. Mrs. Newell does not intend to teach regularly next year and Miss Johnson will take a place "in the schools of Bristol, her home city. Tte board also anticipates one other rus- ignation. Secretary Osborne now has a contract with Miss Carlisle who some time ago stated her inténtion to leave at the close of the time. She was persuaded to reconsider and :t is now expected that she will return in the fall. £ Salary increases have been granted to all the teachers, including the principal, the board deciding thart the high cost of living made a raise warranted. The teachers petitioned for the increase and in most cases $50 was added to their salaries. Satisfactory progress is being mule in the construction of the addition to the school building and the extra rooms will be ready for occupa: v some time before the fall term te- gins according to present indications. At tonight's meeting the board will close up most of its business for tle year as the summer vacation will be- gin in the schools in a few weeks. Few, If Any, Evasions Here. ‘While no extensive investigation has as yet been made here to determire it all the young men in town between the ages of 21 and 31 registered for conscripton vesterday in accordance with the president’s proclamation. lc- cal officials do not believe that there was any attempt made to evade the law and they do not expect to find evidence of a!a.cken among the elig- ibles of the town. The summary of the registration list made during the day shows that tre number of eligibles in Plainville is considerably in excess of early estl- ma'tes, 357 young men having a. peared before the board to have their rames listed. The state military commission, basing its conclusions on the report of the recent census, prs- dicted that there wolud be 308 wer in the town to register. The repor: compiled yesterday showed that the Plainville census was incomplete and incorrect in many respects. A num- ber of names found on the state re- port are not known here while in oth- er cases residents listed in the 21 ‘o 81 classification are either under or over the prescribes ages. An attempt was made to check up the names on the list but it was found to be prac- tically impossible because of inaccu- racies in the state report. That the young men of the town were not only willing but for the most part were anxious to register was evidenced from the manner ir which they appeared before the board. Most of them showed up dur- ing the day time and at 8 o’clock last night, a full hour before the time for | “1egistering expired, practically every eligible in Plainville had been listed. The summary as reported to the governor's office today by First Se- | lectmén Johnsou as head of tne board of registration shows that of the 357 men on the list, 138 have dependents, 121 have none and 98 are friendly alliens. The majority of those listed as being without dependents made no claims to exemption from the dr:’: No unfriendly aliens appeared to reg- 3 lrter although the state’s .report jowed that there were two such men | “ the prepcr(bpd ages in' the town when the census was takefi, None of ! the qfl\‘dl.ls could tell the identity of the men from their names. Town Crerk R. C..Udher was busy | teday making copiés of the fegistra- tion .cards in accordance with the order givén the board. The original blanks and the duplicates are to be | -| held ‘here pending further instruc- | tions, the war department not having | made a definite announcement as to what means will be employed in con- scripting for the first army.
