Off For Camp Devens. Bidding their parents, relatives and many friends a fond farewell, a sad scene was enacted at the Plainville station this morning when Berlin's quota of twelve drafted men in con- Jjunction with hundreds of other con- scripts from surrounding towns, left for Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass. Ber- lin was astir in the early hours of the morning in preparation for the departure. The prospective soldiers left here ahout 6 o’clock and reported at the Plainville town hall at 7 a. m. A number of the men made the trip in automobiles while others chose the trolley cars. Although many tears were shed by the parents and relatives not a sign of sorrow could be seen among the drafted men. As the train drew out from the station, smiling countenances and loud hurrahs greeted the specta- tors. Every man seemed determined to do “his bit” to down the Kaiser and autocracy. Farewell Banquet. Banqueted and presented with hand- some money belts were but a few of the expressions of good wishes given last evening to the twelve drafted men 38th infantry, Engineering Corps, _ Ambulance Corps, Depart- 102nd infantry, Porter, at a farewell celebration at the Grange hall. - A parade_in_ their honor was held and the Home Guards turned out in full dress uniform and marched from the Town hall, down Farming- ton road to the Grange building. Early in the evening the young men were dined. The honored men were escort- ed into the hall by Henry L. Porter and Edwin I. Clark, both veterans of the Civil War. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske was the chair- man of the evening. The invocation was given by -Rev. Carleton Hazen. Patriotic addresses were delivered by Rev. E. F. Lounsbury of Kensington and Rev. Mr. - Dodge of East Berlin. An excellent musical program was carried out. A pleasing piano duet was rendered by Mrs. Herbert . Damon and Mrs. E. G. Goodwin. “Send Them Off With Your Smiles"” was sung by Mrs. Walmsley of East Berlin. G. Ackerley of Wesleyan uni- versity played a cornet solo. The presentation of the gifts was made by Major Frank L. Wilcox with a few appropriate remarks. The cele- bration was brought to a close with singing of “America.” * Buy'a Liberty Bond.

One of the most impressive scenes in the history of Plainville was wit- nessed this morning when several hundred conscripts from the various towns in the district entrained at the local depdt for Camp Devens at Ayer, Mass. Tears and cheers mingled as the gallant young men started on the first lap of the journey which may lead them to the trenches of war Tidden Europe:. The occasion’ caused considerable stir in the town and early this morn- ing'there was an influx of people from the outlying territories. Fathers, mothers, sisters and sweethearts came with the conscripts to wish them God- speed on their journey and many a heart rending scene was enacted under the dark clouds which hovered for the greater part of the morning over the town. Just as the train slowly puffed out of the yard the heavens opened and a dizzling rain poured down upon those gathered at the station. Everywhere there were final handshakes and tears as mothers fondly kissed their sons a last farewell with urgent messages spoken softly “Be a good boy” and “Take care of yourself”. ¢ In all, about 150 men formed the last contingent of men who were cal- led for examination under the first draft. Sixteen of these young men were natives or residents of Plainville, They mobilized at the town hall this morning at 7 o’clock and shortly after 8 o’clock marched to the depot en masse. The train drew out of the vard headed for New Britain where 200 additional drafted men were picked up. ‘From there the trip will be made via Hartford and Waterbury, the special to carry this increment of men being made up at the latter place. The feed and smoker which was planned by the firemen in honor of the drafted men proved to be a huge success. Following the banquet which was' served at the Grange hall the conscripts went to the town hall where a dance was given in their honor Lovers of the art of terpsichore turned out in large numbers in order to help make the affalr a success. The home guard was also present in uniform which gave the occasion a military aspect. A material sum was gathered from the contributions placed in a receptacle at the entrance to the hall. This money will be added to the fund which will he used to buy smokes for the soldiers and soldiers- to-be who have gone and will go from Plainville. Kramer Trial This Afternoon. As the resul’ ‘of a collision Tues- day night between cars driven by Wil- liam Kramer of this town and Frank Lintner, manager of the Atlantic & Pacific Tea company at Southington, Kramer will be arraigned in‘ local court this afternoon before Judge A. H. Condell. The eharge against him is that of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. Under the motor vehicle statutes of Connecticut a person operating an auto while under the influence of liquor is subject to a heavy penalty in addition to having his license sus- pended indefinitely. Several witncsses have been sub- poenaed and will be present this af- ternoon. Among them is Sheriff Mc- Cabe of Southington. S. Gwillim who has been making an investigation of the accident will act as the prosecu- tor of the case. Plainville’s Quota $989,000. Treasurer A. A. MacLeod, of the Plainville Trust company is in re- ceipt of the following letter from C. E. Perkins, secretary of the Liberty Loan committee of New England: Dear Sir:— Replying to your letter of Oc- tober 2, we figure that the mini- mum allotment of Plainville is $99,000 and the maximum $165,- 000. The minimum is based upon New England's securing $300,- 000,000 and the maximum upon $500,000,000. This allotment simply takes in Plainville. C. E. PERKINS. Mr. MacLeod stated this morning that he was literally swept off his feet when he learned the enormity of the sum that Plainville is expected to raise in order to help carry on ‘he war. ‘When the first Liberty Loan issue was floated Plainville was called upon to furnish $35,000. This amount was over-subscribed by nearly $20,000. There will be a meeting of the gen- eral committee this evening in the Town hall at 8:30 o'clock. At this time plans will be formulated to wage a successful campaign and raise the allotment designated the town.
