Chinaman Acts Queerly. « Acting in a mysterious manner as he walked the raillroad tracks be- lween New Britain and Berlin and asking individuals whom he met along the way where he could get an auto- mobile to Hartford, a Chinaman was temporarily held in the arms of the law until some information could be pbtained as to his strange procedure.

Ruth Molyneux, 89 Whiting Bt., says: “Headaches and dizzy spells and constant, sharp pains across my back made me weak and worn out Bometimes black spezks passed before my eves.

Plainville News PETITION START OF ANTI-SALOON DRIVE Prohibitionists Begin Activities By Girculating Paper CHANGES MIND T00 LATE Ten Dollars Looked Like Amount As Grim Walls Small of Jail Loom Up—Near-Soldier Wil] Have to Go to Jail or Depend on Friends. Although they have approximately seven weeks in which to get the num- ber of signatures required to make a petition for a vote on.the license ques- tion at the October election legal, the prohibition forces are taking time by the forelock and are now circulating a paper calling on the selectmen to include in the call for the annual town meeting a clause requiring the voters to register their decision as to the fate of the liquor business in Plainville for the coming year. The “dry” workers of Bristol, Ter- ryville and Plainville have perfected a formidable organization and they are paying great attention to every detail of the big plan they have form- ulated to drive Barleycorn from this district. It is understood that Plainville has a large representation on the com- mittee which has been formed. The 1ist is said to include the names of a number of men who heretofore have been' passive on the license question | but who propose to work this year in the interests of the ‘“drys.’” Leaders in the prohibition movement declare that the liquor dealers and their sup- porters will receive a shock when the list is revealed. Men responsible for the petition now in circulation declare that it is the intention to get every name possible to it before the middle of September when it will be presented to the se- lectmen and they expect that the majority of the voters of the town will be found to be signers. There are other men, who for business or other reasons, they say, will be un- willing to affix their signatures to the document but who will register for the cause when the secret vote is tak- en in October. Changed Mind Too Late. The grim walls of the Hartford county jail caused Alex Wilsky to change his mind regarding the ad- visabllity of serving time instead of paying a fine but the prisoner's delay in acceptinig the concessions made by local court officlals will result in his spending some time behind the bars, unless friends come to his assistance. ‘Wilsky was in court yesterday af- ternoon before Justice E. P. Prior. He had been arrested Tuesday for caus- ing a disturbance in a cafe, his incar- ceration in the local lock-up follow- ing a sensational attempt which he made to escape, Constable Marino, who took him into custody, having to fire his revolver to get him to halt, The accused had enlisted in the na- tional guard a few days ago and to give him a chance to report for ser- Prior was lenient with him. He imposed a fine Although Wilsky at the time of his arrest had stated that all his money had been stolen from him he found a ten dollar bill in his pocket when he appeared in the court room. Justice Prior offered to re- mit the balance of the cost if he would contribute the bill to the town treasury. He refused to settle and was Mrs. F. N.

When he arrived at hat institution he changed his mind and expressed a willingness to settle. Cohstable Marino stated that the case and he would have to pay the jail officials, settling the fine, the costs of prosecution and the expense of taking him to Seyms street. He was finally led to his cell, a sadder but wiser individual. Daniel Martin of Meriden, who was arrested at the same time that Wilsky was taken in tow but who made his getaway as the officer ran after the escaping prisoner to be captured some hours later was sentenced to jail for sixty days. He was.an unruly fellow and the court had no sym- pathy for him, Veterans Have Reunion. Veterans of the Civil war from many parts of the state came here in large numbers today to participate in the Grand Army day program at the camp grounds. Auto trucks brought scores of the blue-coated heroes from various places while delegations of the fighting men of ' 61 came by trolley to attend the celebration. Swanston’s orchestra gave concerts at the grounds during the day and there were other forms of entertain- ment. to make the visit of the veter- ans a pleasant one. The program was opened by Rev. E. A. Dent, D. D., of New Haven, who is to have charge of the Methodist camp meeting opening tomorrow. Dr. Dent gave the G. A. R. men a most cordial welcome. Others who were called on for addresses during the day were Mrs. Elizabeth M. Spicer, department president of the Woman’s Relief corps: Benjamin H. Cheney, head of the G. A. R. of Connecticut; Charles H. Bissell, division command- er of the Sons of Veterans and Rev. Archibald Tremaine. Freeman Petition Denied. Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler dismissed the petition of George H. Freeman of this town for compensation from William E. Fur- rey following a hearing held yester- day afternoon. S Wilson's Mr. Freeman hurt one of his eyes while working for Mr. Furrey some time ago and he asked for compen- | the air. * . sation for the injury under the em- ployers’ liability law_ | Evidence indicated that the acci- | dent was of a character not per- mitting of compensation. Freeman who was employed in mason work on a building for which Mr. Furrey had the contract, was fooling with another employe when some mortar got in his eye. Prepares to Close Year. First Selectman W. J. Johnson is making arrangements to get the town books in shape for the closing of the fiscal year on August 15 and work on the accounty will be started in a few days Until the figures are tabulated and reports are presented by all offcials who have authority to draw orders it will be impossible to tell of the town’s financial condition. The selectman belleves, however, that the receipts from taxes and other sources will be sufficlent to pay all the bills without | leaving a deficit. The money received from the spe- clal tax levied to pay part of the ex- pense of erecting the addition to the Broad street schoolhouse 1s being kept separate. As the amount is but about a quarter of the expense it will | be mnecessary to borrow money in a | few months to pay the contractors and it is likely that a special tax will be laid each year until the debt is can- celled.

Glynn, Plainville, Tel 122, 7-14-tp GERMAN LINE 1S NOT IMPREGNABLE Washington Repudiates Alleged Statement by U. §. Officers ‘Washington, July 26.—Secretary of War Baker and Frank L. Polk, acting Secretary of State, ridiculed last night the statements attributed to United States army officers who have just come back from the French front, and asserted positively that no officer rep- resenting the army had given to the press information that the German front in the west was impregnable. In like force both denied the state- ments charged to the same officers that the Germans held supremacy in The officers who are credited with having brought back a tale of gloom were reported to have been attached to Gen. Pershing’s staff, and to have studied the strategic situation all the way from the North Sea to Switzer- land. Mr. Baker says the officers went over with the Balfour party, and not with Gen. Pershing, and that they were charged with the duty of study- ing purely technical subjects, having no relation whatever to the strategic situation. i “In one of the morning newspapers’ said Mr. Baker, “members of the par- ty of officers just returned from France are credited with an expres- sion of opinion to the effect that the German line along the western front line is impregnable. I have succeed- ed in reaching all of the members of this military mission, and am assured thHat no one of them has expressed such an opinion, either to a newspaper man or anybody else, including his own associates on the mission. * The alleged expression therefore is wholly without foundation. “The members of the military mis- sion were sent abroad to study techni- cal questions. They were accorded the fullest opportunity by both the British and the French Governments to complete their study and were given opportunity to observe actual condi- tions at the front. The mission is unanimous in its praise of the splen- did morale of the allied forces on the western front, and while it shares the | general realization of the gravity of this war, it returned without any pes- simistic opinion whatever as to the final outcome.” The commission contained a num- ber of the best known officers of the army. They sought information in England and in France on the means used to supply troops upon the practi- cal use of fleld artillery, transportation Here, unquestionably, is the mart for this community.

Come in anytime. BAARITFORD and purely technical matters. They brought no report from Gen. Pershing who is his own’report maker, and in thé&ir talks with Secretary Baker ex- pressed only the most optimistic sen- timents. Baker Raps Alarmists. Mr. Baker used the theme as a text from which to preach a strong sermon upon the evil of making sensational mis-statements for the purpose of alarming the public, and referred to the recently published story that sub- marines were sinking 1,600,000 tons of shipping a month, when they only had sunk 600,000, as a striking evidence of the alarm that false reports might cause. The American people, said the sec- retary of war, should be warned against the sporadic epidemics of pessimistic - reports concerning the military situation in Europe, which, he added, had no foundation in fact and could only serve to cause useless sensation. He declined the suggestion that it might be well to paint the situatian blacker than it is for the purpose of arousing the people, “and said that as much hard would come from such a source as from mini- mizing the seriousness of the situation. Full descriptions of what is going on in Europe, sald Mr. Baker, are being given to the people thraugh the daily cable despatches, and he was unable to see that these reports had in any de- gree misrepresented the real facts. To this view from the war depart- ment Mr. Polk contributed the con- clusion that the state department drew from its official reports. He made it clear that these reports did not har- monize in any way with the reports that had aroused pessimistic comment. of Gen. Mclntyre, Brigadier-General McIntyre derided the idea that any military position could be called impregnable, and smiled at the published report that the military program of the allies in the west awaited the coming of the United States troops. He character- ized as absurd the story that an of- fensive was not contemplated until the Americans reached the scene. The genera] called attention to the fact that the prospective re-enforcement of Americans was small“in compar- ison with the large number of men the British government could send over from its camps within a few Views days. He sald that Britain ecould in France in a matter of days mdg men than the United States col send during a yéar. £ He did make the significant ment that the British reserves England might be sent to co-op ate with the Americans to swell man power of the Allies in a big fensive at some tfuture time, but wanted it understood that this not mean that the German i might not be bent back or brol long before any such a movement possible.
