In order that Berlin may receive Voredit for subscriptions taken by local wemployes at the American Paper ‘Goods company, officials at the fac- tory stated this morning that efforts would be made by the concern to sub- scribe for Liberty Bonds through the Berlin Savings Bank. In the last] campaign, the Paper Goods compauy purchased their bonds through New Britain banks, and although a number of these subscriptions indirectly came into the possession of local employes, | Berlin received no credit for their sale. In order that this town may be mble to raise the quota allotted, Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis called on the fac- tory officials and enlisted their aid. At the Berlin Construction com- pany it was stated by Mr. Robinson, the treasurer, that no plans had been made by the concern for seouring , bonds. He added that in the last campaign the bonds were purchased through their banking house in New Britain. He denied that the subscrip- tions were bought in Hartford as was reported. Chairman Francis Deming has re- ceived a communication from the Liberty Loan committee of New Eng- 1 3 i { It is estimated by local bank officlals that approximately $45,000 worth of bonds were purchased by local peo- ple for which this town did not get credit.

Honiss of Hud- son street entertained Allen Harring- ton of Ohio, who is a member of the naval reserves at New London, over land indicating clearly how Berlin may recelve credit for subscriptions to which they are entitled and which aye purchased in other citles. “The letter follows in part: “In view: of the general plan which was adopted of alloting to each dis- trict a certain quota of the second Liberty Loan based on the wealth ot the community, it seems only fair that the various cities and towns throughout this district should have credit for subscriptions which orig- Inate in the districts from actual resi- dents or corporations who are as- pessed therein. “In the natural course of events pome of the subscriptions, originating from towns located near large finan- olal centers, will be entered through banks and bond houses located else- where. A plan has been adopted by the committee whereby if any district knows of subscriptions of its residents Peing placed outside the district, and puch district will notify the bank in which the subscription is filed, to formerly advise the committee of date, name, subscriber and amount, pald district will be given immediate credit on the hooks of the Liber Yoan committee, without making any change whatsoever in the actual filing ad handling of such subscription.” . Those in charge of the last cam- paign in Berlin believe that this des cision will obliterate the injustice done to this town in the last drive. the week-end. Willlam Ryan who has been spend- ing a few days with his parents on Farmington road returned to the Naval Reserves at Fort Jefferson, L. I, this afternoon. Norman Hutchinson, who is with the Naval Reserves at Bridgeport, spent the week-end with his parents in Kensington. Frank McKeon, James Corr and Harry McKeon have returned to Pel- ham Bay after a few days furlough.

Residents' on Worthington Ridge were startled about 2 o’'clock this morning to be awakened from their slumbers by three shots being fired in rapid succession near the Berlin Con- gregational church. Thinking that some one was being murdered an in- vestigation was begun. It was learned that a party of young men passing through the town toward Hartford, were the cause of the disturbance. ‘When they saw a number of Berlin- ites approaching the men quickly dis- appeared from sight. The number of the machine could not be secured. Campaign Committees Meet.

Buy a Liberty Bond. But twelve more days are left in a chance to subscribe to the second Liberty Loan, thus helping to make the world safe for democracy. At present $33,000, one-third of the minimum allotment designated to the town of Plainville has been raised through efforts of the general com- mittee and popular subscription. In a speech made last week by sec- retary of the treasury McAdoo, he de- clared that failure to subscribe the full $5,000,000,000 to the second Lib- erty Loan would be worse than losing five battles in Europe to the Germans. He further stated that some people look upon the bonds as a matter of speculation. As the bonds draw inter- est at the rate of 4 per cent. and are untaxable, and can be sold at any time for the amount for which they were bought, this is not so, he de- clared. This town has yet to raise $66,000 to complete its minimum allotment and members of the general commit- tee although realizing the tremend- ous task which is before them are hopeful that citizens of the town will feel the importance at this time of untying their purse strings. The $50 bonds seem to be the favorite buy, especially with the work- ingman. Nearly all the workingmen who have been approached have con- sented to buy one or more of the bonds of the smaller denomination. As yet the house to house canvass has not been finished and several sec- tions of the town have not been can- vassed. So far the canvas has shown prom- ising results. The committee of women have shown their ability as bond saleswomen and have sold in the neighborhood of $20,000 worth of bonds. The committee appointed to make plans for the Liberty Bond rally day will hold a meeting this week at which time a date will be set on which to hold the celebration. J. H. Trumbull, who at present is out of town will preside as chairman of the meeting. Speakers will also be engaged and music hired to liven things up. As a result of the rally day which was held when the first Liberty Loan in progress 000 was subscribed and members of the general committee are in hepes that they will meet with as good for- tune this time.
