Answering talk in Congress and else- where suggesting that members of the council are in position to make con- tracts with themselves and thus derive bersonal profit from the war, Mr. Lane said the business men composing the advisory commission have no con- trol over contracts and in fact give to the government infinitely more than they receive. Analyzing the organization further Mr. Lane gave high praise to the business men, experts in their several fields of industry, who comprise the many committees on supplies, includ- ing raw materials of all kinds and manufactures. The statement was given to the | Associated Press as the result of in- the commission and a persistent re- quiries concerning recent criticism of | port that reorganization of the coun- cil is imminent. The response was | characteristically frank from the ! opening question which bore on the possibility of cabinet members con- stituting the council making any per- sohal out of contracts. | ‘“We have nothing to sell,” he said. | “When it Is considered that the Coun- | cll of National Defense consists of | Secretary Baker, a lawyer; Secretary | Daniels, an editor; Secretary Lane, a lawyer; Secretary Houston, a college president; Secretary Redfield, a re- tired business man; Secretary Wilson, a labor union official, you will realize that there is not much chance for that charge being true. i “No, nobody thinks that we are dealing with ourselves. The confu- sion has come .about because of the peculiar organization of the council. Get into your head one of two facts | and you will see how this confusion has arisen. The Council of National Defense buys nothing. That body was created by Congress as a measure of preparedness to mobilize resources— a sort of stock-taking body.” Mr. Lane reviewed briefly the achievements in the business world of those who comprise the advisory commission. He did not contend that the organization as created was whol- ly satisfactory. ‘It is an emergency organization,” he said. ‘“But it is along the right line. This war is not to make any man rich,” he continued. | “There will be revolution in the coun- try if business works to that end and socialism will surely come. The best protection to industry now is to see that industry is not allowed to take what it can get.” 1917, This Store Will Be Closed Fridays at Noon, From July 13 to Sept. 14, Inclusive FORWARD MARCH! —to the field of action in the business of clothes selling—that's at HOLLANDERS’ SEMI-YEARLY $20 and $18 Suits Selling for . $22 Suits Selling for.......... $25 Suits Selling for ........... $26 and $28 Slllt& Selling for SUIT SALE Here’s What's Happening: And all ..$14.75 .$17.50 .$19.50 ... .. 52150 STRAW HATS and FURNISHINGS too are right in the bargain line.

THE DAYLIGHT STORE BOY SCOUT T0 IMPRISON WORKMEN Skilled Americans to Cut Off from World While on New Thousand War Instrument. Pittsburgh, July 13.—The Westing- house interests here are seeking 1,000 men who are willing ta sign an agree- ment to enter a new plant to be built for the manufacture of war muni- tions by a secret process and remain imprisoned for ten months, all cum- munications with the outside world to be shut off. Men who have been approached were told that the plant will manufac- ture a powerful implement of war and the secret must be guarded until the government sees fit to make the de- tails public. Only those workmen and officials who will be engaged in the production of the new weapon will know its character and the details ot manufacture. Recreation and entertainment of every possible sort will be furnished the isolated employes. Pay dauble that they now get is guaranteed, and bonuses will be paid for high produc- tion. . Only picked men, whose Amer- jcanism is unquestioned .and Whose skill in their respective vocations is of | the highest will be employed. Officials of the Westinghouse in- terests refused to talk. An artisan of high standing, who was approached | by the Westinghouse agents, said_ha | had received an intimation that the new plant would turn out, in large quantities, one of the late inventions of Thomas A, Edison. i New York, July 13.—Willlam Max- well, general manager of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., said at the convention of Edison Phonograph Dealers at the Waldorf-Astoria last night: “There is a man, an old man, over in Jersey who Is working hard for Uncle Sam. At the moment he is the most important man in the country next to President Wilson. I belleve he may soon become the most import- ant figure in the nation.

No soldier or sailor or public. official will do more for his Country, in pro- portion to his opportunity, than Boy Scouts of America. With your Scout- master and Handbook as guides, you will help by unselfish service to win the war for Humanity, Liberty, Jus- tice and Democracy. Remember the obligations of the Scout Oath and Laws and Do a Good Turn Daily,” On behalf of the National Council. JAMES E. WEST. Chief Scout Executive. Plans are being worked out by ofli- cers of the New Britain Council for a field day to be held in the fal: al- though there has been no definite plans made the day will be spent somewhere out of the city. We shall expect all boys who plan to attend o show willingness to do their share of the work at Scout gardens that we may be able to prove to the commu- nity and public at large that the New Britain Scouts stand up to their mot- to of “Be Prepared” and ready to do their share for the government n this crisis. 1f there are enough Scouts in a permanent camp at the gardens, the Scout Executive i3 ready to establish it. All scouts who wish to take advantage of this op- portunity to camp, should leave or send their names to the Scout office as soon as pssible. The Scout Executive wishes to con- gratulate the Scoutmasters and the boys on the work they have done so far on the gardens, and trust that they will keep at it in the same spirit until they have harvested their crops in the fall. If they do this, as we feel sure they will, they will have ac- complished something of which they may well be proud. The following of- ficials and Scouts have enlisted in the service of the country: Scout masters James Rogers and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 8 in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Scoui- masters Hellberg and Horwitz in the Naval Reserve. Assistunt Scoutmaster Jack lorwitz in the Medical Corpa. Scout Bradley in the Cavelry, and Scout Dennis 1n the Cnited States Navy Troop 4. iitends to hold an outing for its members ut Com- All ave requested to meet at the Center Church at 1:15. A fine tim guaranteed every member of the Troop who attends. The Execu- Troop 4 Saturday pounce tive wishes the Troop to finish the hoeing of the potatoes hefare we at- tend the outing. To further his wish the Scoutmaster wishes all the Scouts to meet at the gardens Satur. day morning at 8 o’clock to finish the work. The Troop has sent flowers to Scout Cornell Smith who is undergoing an operation at the hospital. After doing police duty on the Fourth of July, a few members of the Troop spent an enjoyable night out at the Scout gar- dens. The Troop is now giving one- half of the time, which it usually gives on Wednesday night to a busi- ness meeting and recreation to the Red Cross. ... Troop 14. | Troop 14 has been reorganized. The cause of this was to get rid of the slackers. All patrol-leaders and senior patrol were elected for six months. The senior patrol leader elected was George Nelson; Patrol leaders, John Murphy, Samuel McGibbon, Archie Nalbandian and Henry Hirsh. Eleven Scouts will receive “War Emblems” for selling ten or more Libetry Bonds. Every week now the Troop cuts clip- pings for pillows used for the soldiers across the sea. Some of the ladies who hold the interest of the Boy Scouts at heart made fifty-two dpllars ($52) for the Troop by a food sale and personal contributions. Owing to | some trouble the Troop will go o Bantam Lake July 21st, instead of July 14th. Rehearsals for the Min- strel Show are being held every week. A committee has been formed to pro- vide for the food at the Lake. Troop 14 will go for a long hike this Sat- urday. g Troop 2.—The troop is working steadily at the Scout gardens which show . the result of hard and faithful labor. In other words Troop 2 is going after that prize with lots of pep. A camp site at Hawks Nest on Long Island Sound has been secured, and finishing touches are all that need to be added to the plans. Tiwice and sometimes three times a week the band has practice at headquar- ters on West Main street. The band contains twelve pieces. ings are held every Thursday at 7:15 in the Y. M. C. A. Troop 11—The last meeting was “celebration day at our cave.” After business transactions we had a wa- termelon feed, to which the boys re- sponded heartily. Afterwards while some were playing games others helped with the dishes. While put- ting them away, we accidently some tracking or path finding, the goal being a big dish of cookies 'a,ndl in some milk which we,discovered the cupboard. A Scout is brave He i not ‘afrald to face such a lay- out without giving battle to it, certainly were true Scouts Thursday, Friday and Saturday we worked on our “field of spuds” at Hart's lot. We accomplished a good deal, but some of us feel like a shed- ding snake, as we are peeling from the head down to the shoulders, and we thank our lucky stars that we don’'t have to shed our skin from head to foot. Two of the Scouts hoed a row of potatoes 140 feet lonz with- out a stop. working for th -quar- ters of an hour stcady, without even Last Scout meet- | aid: | and we | wiping the sweat from their brows.” They accomplished this wonderful feat as the result of a contest, there- by each earning a soda. We are working hard and patiently watching the flowers bloom and the stalks grow, but we all wish we could see for a foot beneath the surface of | the ground and watch the proceedings there, but we must wait, and we cer- tainly are ‘“watchfully waiting.” CAMPS READY FOR ADVENT OF MILITIA First Increment to Be Called Into Service Sunday Washington, sixteen July 13.—Selection of camp sites for the National Guard was completed when Secretary Baker approver Hattiesburg, Mass,, and Alexandria, La., and announced the change of the Fayetteville, N. C., site to Charlotte, N. C.. the guardsmen from all states to the camps for training preliminary to their departure for France was im- mediately worked out by the militix bureau and the list of assignments submitted to Major General Bliss, act- ing chief of staff, for approval. None of the bureau’s recommendations was , Tevealed. The first increment of the guard will be called into the service of the federal government next Sunday, al- though the draft clause of the.na- tional defense act will not be applied to any of the guardsmen until Au- gust 5. Movement to the camp sites can begin within a few days, as sup- plies sufficient for the men have al- ready been secured. - The fact that the guard is to be under training even before drawing for the selective army begins indi- cates that of the men drawn the first to see service will be those assigned to fill vacancles in the guard or the regulars. Presumably the first men turned into the army by this proc will go to these two forces and they may be under orders to join their reg- iments in le than two weeks.

Husband of Dead Woman Held as Material Witness. Dedham, Mass.,, July 13.—Harriet A. Varney, a hospital attendant, was arrested late yesterday for the murder of Mrs. Pauline Keyes at Brookline June 19. She pleaded not guilty and was held without bail for trial. George H. Keys, husband of the murdered woman, was held in $8,000 bond as a material witness. Bail for him was furnished by Mrs. Pauline M. Eisenbach, Mrs. Keyes mother, and Francis Edwards, both of Boston. The body of Mrs. Keyes with a bul- let hole in the head and a wound in the right hand was found by neigh- bors in her apartment an hour after the shooting. She was seated at a table and a revolver lay within her reach. Surface indications were of suicide, and a medical examiner so reported, but the police did not accept this theory and conducted a secret in- vestigation. The mystery grew when the author- ities learned that Miss Varn had been known for several ycars the wife of Keyes und that she had taken luncheon with him in Boston on the day of the shooting.
