Copenhagen, via London, June 16. —Admiral Von Tirpitz and Field Mar- shal Von Hindenburg have re?lhd approvingly to telegrams of greéting from the Pan-German committee for a German peace at ‘Essen, . Von Tir- pitz replied: ‘“The submarines will reach their goal if we at home retain our nerve.” Von Hindenburg, who misses no opportunity of answering telegrams from meetings arranged by the junk- er committee, althcugh it is only in opposjtion to Chancellor Von Beth- maiin-Hollweg, responded on this oc- casion with assurances that a com- plete victory and a ‘“peace worthy of Germany’s sacrifices and assuring the prosperity and growth of the country are within reach if the struggle is con- tinued manfully.” The Tages Zeitung emphaizes the significance of these repeated Hinden- burgian respenses to the manifesta- tiohs of the anti-Bethmann commit- tee by effusively thanking /the field marshal for his willingness to strengthen the will to victory of the nation by his stirring replies.” RUMANIAN OIL BELOW NORMAL. Semi-Official German Statement Ex- posed As False, Copenhagen, via London, June 16. —In contrast to the recent semi-of- cial statement that Rumanian oil pro- duction had been resumed on a nor-- mal basis the Berlin Vossiche Zeitung, in an article on conditions in Ru- mania,. says that while production has been resumed it will be some time before peace conditions are reached in the oil flelds. The question is one of high im- portance to Germany on which ac- count of the role which gasoline and fuel oil plays in the operations of the navy and rallroad transportation, Difficulties in both these directions have been experienced.

Spellacy by Town Clerk R. C. Usher and the for- mer has notified the local authori- ties that federal agents will be im- mediately put on their trail. The truckers, whose names are on the list are the only suspected slackers to whom attention has been called by the registration board and the belief is held that local eligibles, 'with the possibile exception of a few foreigners, performed their duty. On Registration Day, the transfer station gang, which is made up large- 1y of “floaters,” who seemingly claim | no special place as their residence, were brought in a body before the board of registrars in session in the Town hall. Each was questioned by a representative of the board and while a number of them appeared to be of an age eligible for conscription, only two enrolled, the éthers claimi- ing to have passed their thirty-first birthday, Two days later the 'New - Haven road, co-operating with the authori. ties in the work of registering eligibles, sent the town clerk a list of names of men in their employ in Plainville on June 4, whose ages, ac- carding ‘to the information given at the time they applied for places were between 21 and 31. The registration board immediately < communicated with the federal authorities and were asked to make an investigation. ° In the meantime, however, the weekly change in the personnel of the working force came about and when First Selectman Johnsor® went to the freight vard to seek information re- garding the alleged slackers he was unable to locate any of them, all hav- ing quit their places and leaving town. ‘ The federal agents will now get on their trails and if any of them are 16cated they will be . brought into court. Notice has been sent to busi- ness houses throughout the country to demand the exhibiting of registra- tion cards from those who apply for work and who appear to be of con- scription ages. In this ‘manner it is expected “floaters” who seek to evade their duty will be apprehended. TRe raiiroad officials are unable to keep track of the movements of the men who work at the various transfer stations and freight houses but they propose to co-operate with the gov- ernment as far as, possible in locating the slackers. At the local yards, where over a score of new. men are put to work every week, applicants who appear to be under thirty-one will have to show their registration cards before they are given employ- ment and if they are unable to pro- duce the pasteboard their cases will be reported to the authorities. ‘Would Have Cost $73. Acting as representative of the Tegistration board Town' Clerk Usher went to Hartford yesterday to file a report concerning the expeénses of registration day in Plainville, the federal government having asked for an _itemized account. The report in- dicated that Plainviile is willing to do its “bit” at all times in the interests of the government, the town making no charge for the expense incurred in connection with enrolling the eligibles, Had the men who worked in listing the eligibles charged for their se: vices it would have cost the govern- ment $72, according to the clerk’s figures, for ' compiling ‘names and information sought by the war department. - All the workers, in- cluding - members of the registration ‘board, gave their services gratuitously, llnd as a consequence a receipted bill will go, to the government.

Replying to ’n communication from the state council for defense Town Clerk Usher today recommended the Business and Improvement association as the proper organization to look after the celebration of the Fourth on July in Plainville. The state council proposes to maké the celebration patriotic in character but will probably recommend that the use of fireworks be omitted that powder might be saved for a more useful purpose and to avoid the dan- ger which the promiscuous use of fire- arms under the existing conditions might permit. There is a likelihood that a patriotic demongtration in which all people will be permitted to take part will be suggested as a substitute for the usual method of celebrating, : New Books for Library. Ralph E. Morrill, chairman of the board of library dirdctors, announced today that a large number of new books have been secured by the com- mittes and the most of them are now on shelves in the library room in the Town hall ready for/circulation. #§n- cluded in the list are ninety coples of the latest fiction stories, twenty- five of juvenile classification and forty non-fiction publications. The fiction and juvenile stories are ‘purchased out of the town appropri- ation .while the books of an educa- tional character are furnished by the state. The local libury is becoming more generally used every year and there are now a large number of people who take advantage of the ‘oppor- tunities for“wholesome reading which it affords.
