MARRIAGES IN CITY But Thirty-seven Licenses Were Issued During July Careful perusal of the records in the city clerk’s office would Indicate that there are comparatively few draft slackers in New Britain for although during the month just closed there were thirty-seven marriage licenses issued, in some cases the prospective husband .was over the draft age of thirty-one years. In New York city, reports from that place state, the bureau of vital statistics is being be- seiged daily by hundreds of young men who wish to take out marriage licenses and by having a wife be- come exempt from the draft. So many are adopting this means of avoiding military service that the attention of Provost Marshal General Crowder has been called to it. City’s Marriage Record, New Britain’s record of 37 marr- iages for the month of July shows | some interesting figures. In 12 in- stances the prospective husband was | a native born American. In eight | cases he was a native of Italy, seven | came from Russia, four from Austria and three from Germany. Sweden | figures of loss and replacement. DEMANDS TRUTH IN U-BOAT WARFARE 'Daily Mail Believes British Are Kept in Dark London, Aug. 1.—The Daily Mail editorially makes a strong demand for | the publication of tonnage sunk by | German submarines. It says in part: | “If the country is to understand the real position it must know two things—it must know the merchant | tonnage which we possess today, and | it must know how much tonnage we are losing, The Germans assert that they are sinking 900,000 tons of British, allied and neutral shipping a | month, and that in the five months from February 1 to June 380 they nk 4,600,000 tons. They publish daily long lists of ships on which their calculation is based. ‘“Suppose we were to lose at a much smaller rate than this—at the rate of 5,000,000 tons a year, or even less, how long could we go on with- out disaster? The answer is given that we are building ships to replace the lost tonnage. Obviously the result depends on the difference between the Did we build 1,000,000 tons of new ships last year? “The Glascow Herald returned new ships built in the United Kingdom as and England each produced one. | There is no record showing whether | or not any of the foreign,born men | have been naturalized} Of the 37 men who took out marriagle licenses, only | 13 were over the draft age, .the re- | mainder being all between the ages of 21 and 31 vears The oldest couple | to which a marriage license was is- sued last month were the last to ap- pear. The were Willlam Ordner and | Mary Potrash, both of 111 Columbia street. The groom, who is making | his third trip to the altar, is 70 years | old, while his bride, who has been | married before, admits being a little his junior. FOOD COMMITTEE MEETING. . Municipal Farm Committee Will Also Hold Weekly Session. The municipal farm committee will meet tonight in city hall at 8 o’clock and at 8;30 o'clock the New Britain §ood committee, subsidiary. tp the state council of defense, will meet. Routine business will be transacted at the farm committee meeting, but at the food committee meeting many im- portant matters wil come up for action. Howard Timbrell and Harry Wes- sels, proprietors of the Sunset Rock Orchard company, will appear before the committee with a plan for the es- tablishment of a community canning plant at their farm. Reports will also be rdceived on a survey of the city's crop production as well as the fuel situation. Another report will be made upon the advisability of thé city pro- curing a de-hydrating machine- to | evaporate fruits and thus eliminate some of the cost. of canning. George M. Landers of the state council of de- fense will be present. eait. 25catall druggists. | ... an mmaians truck—aavt. oney Belts | | Fountain Pens AFLOAT AND ASHORE We Are Showing a Kit That Will Prove a Real Com- fort to the Boys DICKINSON DRUG CO., wunksmesy nbreakable Mirrorsl ! Writing Cases 582,000 tons, and in the whole world as 1,955,000 tons. Have we ac- celerated since then, and to what ex- tent? Lloyd George stated in Paris that the program, the execution of which had been begun, would result in the building next year of some 4,000,000 tons of shipping instead of 2,000,000 which the British shipyards built in a very favorable year in time of peace. “We have then on one side the cer- tainty that ships are being sung at a rate which the public does not know; on the other side we have a program —but as vet only a program—which promises some 340,000 tons a month. Is it certain that this program can be punctually carried out? Have we provided the material and labor to carry out our program? Apart from material, is there sufficient labor in sight to carry it out? Has any deci- sion been reached between the con- flictng claims of auxiliary ship- building and repairs, warship con- struction and munition making? Has it been decided which is the most im- portant need, and to which the prior right to labor and material should be authorized? No one except the war cabinet can decide this. Has the war cabinet considered the matter? If not, when will the shipbuilding and airplane programs get themselves carried out? Ministers Can’t Be Trusted. “The country has learned too much in this war to be blindly willing to trust its fate in the hands of minis- ters and officials. The enemy is sink- ing ships of all nationalities, because every ship afloat is an asset to Great Britain. The admiralty figures deal only with the number of ships actual- ly sunk. Many ships every week are not sunk, but are damaged more or less seriusly, the result being that they are for a longer or a shorter period useless. The admiralty figures never mention these, but they are an important factor. “There is a very strong feeling among those who know the facts that the optimism expressed by high au- thorities is misplaced. At this mo- ment, and for months to come, the power of Great Britain is the chief obstacle which prevents Germany from enjoying her position in com- fort. Will not the enemy do every- thing possible, and continue to do everything possible, to remove. that obstacle? Will any set of figures carefully framed to hide the truth deter him from his efforts to destroy our very means of life, our merchant shipping? “The admiralty figures will not de- ceive the Germans, but they are de- ceiving the people of this country, as well as the people of the country on which we rely, next to ourselves, to preserve the freedom of the world— America. Lloyd George has sald that frankness is the beginning of wise ac- tion. Let the admiralty begin by publishing the facts abcut our lost tonnage.” GROOMS MUST SHOW CARDS. New York, Aug. 1.—An order that applicants for murriage licenses here be required to show their military registration cards -was expected to put an end to the rush of men of conscription age to marry to escape draft service.

Petrograd, Aug. “oreign Minis- ter Terestchenko denies absolutely the declarations attributed to him by Dr. Michaelis, the German chancellor. He issued a4 statement saying: *The Russian foreign minister did not pro- test or make any special declarations to the French government beyond a general declaration by the government respecting war aims which was gen- erally known May 18. This declara- tion, which was sympathetically re- ceived, will be thoroughly examined by the inter-allied conference to be held shortly, INSANE MAN WAVES RAZOR. Amoro Daniel, believed to be in- sane, was taken to the police station by Policeman Thomas Dolan last night. He had a razor in his hand and threw residents of Park street into a frenzy of fear by ,walking up and down, the neighberhood flourish- ing the weapon. He succeeded in cut- ting himself twice before being taken into custody.
