WAR BUREAU WILL OPEN OFFICE SO0 Appropriates $200 for Athletic | Goods for Soldiers The first steps toward starting the War Bureau in operation were taken at a mecting held In Mayor Quigley's office last evening. Chairman Ernest W. Christ presided and the following members were in attendance: E. N. Humphrey, Councilman Abraham Gorbach, Frank H. Alford, Stanley Arzylowicz_and Mayor Quigley. G. P .Spear, W. W. Leland and W. J. Kerin were absent. Chairman Christ | explained at the outset that the ap- | pointment of a permanent clerk w the first business to be transacted. Members of the board had discussod the appointment of Earl Kisselb a young man who had had consider- able experience in war work through his cannection with tho second divi- sion exemption board. He had as- sented to the desire of the bureau to accept the place as clerk. Chairman Christ said that there were one or two other applicants for the berth. On motion of Mr. Alford, Mr. Kissel- brack was appointed to the position and acted as clerk during last night's meeting. The matter of salary for the clerkship has been left to the finance board of the bureau, consist- ing of Chairman Christ, George P. Spear and E. N. Humphrey. Mr. Spear has been named treasurer of the bureau. The board instructed the clerk to open the office permanently P EAT WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT People who consistently deny their eappetite some particular dlsh appealing especially to thelr ulgence has al- W B a fact, ople can, without fear of dis- Prouring consequences, indulge the appetite within reason if the bow- are active and regmlar. . ors_a; bt oye h tmpunity i, before ref o & tak ful of Dr. Sapeia, & mild combination of im= lo laxctive herbs with pepsin Poat drugeists sell for fifty cents a Dottle.

Mayor Quigley said that Miss Delia A. Haugh, his secretary, has done considerable work in connection witi the draft, and would be able to ren- der valuable assistance. Chairman Christ said that young men at the Stanley Works had volunteered their services evenings. On motion of Mr. Alford, the chairman and clerk were appointed a committee to arrange a card index system. On motion of Mr. Humphrey, the clerk was in- structed to arrange a list of acces- sories for the office and the chairman and clerk were empowered to secure them. Chairman Christ said that in- terpreters. would doubtless be needed to assist in the work and Mayor next Monday in the room now oc- Quigley stated- that John Di Nonno had offered his services as Italian in- cupied by the second divislon exemp- tion board. Steps will be taken later to secure permission from the City Hall commission for the use of the lobby near the town clerk’s office, this being probably the best place ta conduct the work. The matter of de- tail in arranging this is eft to Chair- man Christ and Mr. Alford. Athletic Outfit for Soldiers. Judge William F. Mangan, chair- man of the public amusements com- mission, was heard in regard to the establishment of a fund to purchase athletic goods for the New Britain boys in the cantonment at Ayer, Mass. Judge Mangan spoke of visiting the camp recently and told of conditions as he found them there. In every in- stance where he talked with local boys, need of athletic goods was forcibly brought out and beys who do not participate in athletic sports, expressed themselves as desirous of giving up tobacco and smokes in or- der that money might be used for this purpose. Judge Mangan said that at the camp the local athletes are favored by having such famed stars of the gridiron as Captain Daly and Captain Campbell interesting themselves in football, and in order that the local outfit might be able to give a good account of themselves, Captain Campbell had arranged for the purchase of football togs, which would have to be paid for at a later date. In answer to the question as to how much money will be needed, Judge Mangan said that over a $1,000 would have to be secured soon, and if the war continued any length of time this sum would be insufficient. In order to give the project a start, $200 was advanced by the bureau, this sum to be. returned as soon as possible to the general fund. fact that the $200 was to be returned was impressed by the: bureau mem- bers on Judge Mangan who assured them that it would be in a very short time. Judge Mangan outlined in a tentative manner the program of the committee consisting of Judge Man- gan, Howard A. Timbrell and E. J. Clerkin, to raise the money, stating that entertainments, sporting games, ete., will be given ‘during the winter. Judge Mangan also spoke of the generous offer of Physical Director Moorehead of theé High school to do- nate part of the proceeds of the Hartford-New Britain High school game as well as a percentage of all sport receipts at the school during the war. In concluding his remarks, Judge Mangan called attention to the words of General John J.

All money collected by the athletic committee will be turned over to the treasurer of the bureau, and this committee will be held to strict ac- countability. The athletic commit- tee does not intend to solicit subserip- tions for the athletic fund but, should any person feel that he wishes to donate to the fund, he may do so. Mayor Quigley spoke of being ap- proached by local women who wished fo start a campaign for the relief of soldiers’ famiiles and to handle any case of destitution that may occur. Under the bureau, all of these mat- ters will be cared for. Sweaters Are Ready. Chairman Christ informed the committee that the sweaters for the local boys are ready and will be de- livered next week. Mrs. I. D. Rus- sell of the local branch of the Red Cross spoke of the formation of the Atlantic Service bureau in New Haven recently, but it was the aim of the local Red Cross that the sweaters made for New Britain boys should be given to them only, and she succeed- ed in gaining this point at the New Haven meeting. The clerk was in- structed to write return postal cards to the local soldiers in Camp Devens, so that all the boys now having sweaters can inform the committee. In this manner the work of the local women who will go to the camp will Institution Has Answered Many Misston, the historic building on Cherry street since it was first founded in 1873, has been prepared by the officers. tains a detailed report of the various activities carried on and also names of the individual workers well The | ments.

Chairman Christ brought up the matter of meeting nights for the bu- reau explaining that he did not think regular nights would be necessary but he did urge the members to be on hand when he called a meeting. The meeting adjourned last evening sub- ject to the call of the chairman. The war bureau as it is constituted is as follows: Chairman, E. W. Christ; treasurer, George P. Spear and E. N. Humphrey; finance committee, W. W. Leland, Abraham Gorbach and Stan- ley Anzylowicx; relief committee, F. H. Alford, W. J. Kerin, and clerk, Earl Kisselbrack.

The items in this includs $500 afor salaries, $100 for coal and light, $100 for supplies and equip- ) ment, $32 for bulletins, $60 for a fence, $25 for incidentals and $275 for the indebtedness fund. It is the object of the Burritt Mis- slon to meet the religious, moral and social needs of the children of the community and classes in all branches of work and play that appeal to the children are conducted five nights each week from Névember to May. That the mission appeals to the chil- dren is evidenced by the fact that there has been an average attend- ance of from 60 to 100 children every night. They range in years from 3 to 18 years and come from Protestant, Catholic and Jewish homes. During the past year the New Britain Christian .Endeavor union has financed part of the work, employing two trained ‘workers and each of thésdcieties i the city has’ been responsible for flve Or six as- sistants one night each week. In addition to the classes in re- liglous study there are also classes in woodworking, sewing, raffia work, drawing and kindergarten work. There is also a branch library lo- cated at the Mission and a Boy Scouts troop is also located there. BROTHERHOOD MEETING. The Methodist Brotherhood will hold its regular monthly meeting and social hour this evening at 8 o’clock at Trinity M. E. church. During the social hour Clarence Hubbard of Hart- ford, entertainer and magiclan, will give one of his popular entertainments to the members and their male friends, including his tricks of magic and fin- ger manipulation.

The two policemen waited for him to go out but in the meantime he is sald to have slipped the gun to his companion, on whose person it was found. Mondano told the police it had just been given to him. Reckless Driving Costs $25. A fine of $25 and costs was im- posed on William Venturo, found guilty of the reckless operation of | a motorcycle on South Main street on October 3. Benny Waskowitz of Broad street, a trolley conductor, and John Parsons of Hartford avenue, a motorman, were the principal wit- nesses. They said that they stopped their car at the corner of Ash and Roberts streets at 12:05 p. m. to change the switch light when Ven- turo drove past on his motorcycle. They claim that he did not stop or put on his brakes and struck Par- sons as he went by. The accused ad- mitted the incidents, but explained that he thought all the passengers had alighted and the car was about to proceed so did not stop. Other Cases Today. Edward F. Ives, a voung Kensing- ton motorcyclist, was charged with operating his machine without a li- cense on Saturday. At the corner of Smalley and Stanley streets he ran into the curb and was injured so that he had to be taken to the hospital. Investigation showed that he did not have his license ‘with him. He ex. plained by saying that it was home in another coat. Judgment was sus- pended on payment of costs of court. Fred Hedenberg was arraigned on a charge of not sending his little son, Ralph, aged 13 years, to school. The man pleaded not guilty and said he had ordered his wife to do so and it she had not the fault was hers, not his. Mrs. Hedenberg was in court last week on the same charge and told a pathetic story of her own ill- ness which so incapacitated her that she could not do her housework so she had to keep the little boy home to help her. This morning Prosecu- tor Klett introduced Sherwood Ray mond, an employ of the pay depart- ment at Landers, Frary & Clark's, who testified that the woman has been employed part of the time at i the factory. The boy was ordered sent to school and judgment was sus- pended on payment of costs. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed on Joseph Bajeck and fines of $2 and $6 were imposed on Martin Hesiski, charged with assault and drunken- ness and assault respectively. They were found guilty of assaulting one Samuel David in a Main street saloon yesterday afternoon. SPY DANGER SEEN IN DONBAR GASE Kaiser's Subject Was Able to Pose As Native American and Ensign ‘William H. Buell, in the following letters to his parents in this city, de- scribes the harbor ‘“somewhere in the Atlantic” from which he sailed for ance and the manner in which the captain of the boat to which he is as- signed successfully thwarted the U-boats which he encountered. He also states that the Germans have placed a price upon the ship on which he is making his trip across and upon the head of the captain, who hag succeeded in running the blockade for two years. Incidentally he adds that there is a German spy on his | boat whose chances will be slim when he reaches England. The letters fol- low: July 28. ! Dear Father and Mother: Two more ships have come in with troops. It will take us longer than usual to cross as we can’t go any faster than the slowest ship * ., We must all stick together.

Gee but we raised { the dickens. Such cheering you nev- er heard. It seems good to see more Sammies; all about here are Can- nucks and Tommies. We tried to raise an American flag but this being an English port we couldn’t. We all had small flags which we waved. There are 1,200 troops abroad and 3,000 on the other ships. If we had gone directly to England we would have landed on Tuesday but as it is now we won't leave here until the last of next week. Then it will take us about two weeks to cross. About fifteen ships are going with us, It will be advertised next week that the i lost. She is due on Tuesday in Liverpool. About Friday the company will give her up as lost. They do not know we are here. Only the British Admiralty knows. We have to wait here for the or- ders to proceed. I do hope vou won’t are lost. I wish I could get a wire happen to see in the papers that we through. We can't go on shore or communicate with the shore. An- other thing, these big ships sink in from four to 10 minutes after being torpedoed but this boat is loaded with grain which will swell as soon as the water gets to it and consequently it will take at least two hours for her to go down. That will give our convoy plenty of time to get all the CHAS. DILLON & CO.

This ship has run the blockade for two years. She has made twenty-nine round trips and this time will com- ; blete her thirtieth. A price has been placed on her and on the captain’s head by the Boche. This captain is one of the cleverest men in the ser- vice they say. He has dodged six tor- pedoes and many shells so far. When he sights a U-boat he steams directly for it and endeavors to run it down. Most captains turn tail and beat it. By heading for a U-boat only a nar- row target is offered to the torpedo. If the ship was broadside a wider target would be offered as you can readily see. Lots of love, July 30. Two more ships with troops came in this morning. What cheering there is every time troops come in. We drill every day putting on the life belts and taking our places in the lifeboats. We have boat races this afternoon in the life boats. July 31.
