HERALD “ADS” MEAN BETTER BUSINESS SE rEy PRICE THREE CENTS. JRITAIN HERALD HERALD BEST OFf LOCAL NEWSPAPER! KJEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1917, —SIXTEEN PAGES. ESTABLISHED 18 THREE MILLION 15 LIBERTY LOAN GOAL Bankers Will Not Admit Maxi- mum Cannot Be Subscribed $2,800,000 IS KNOWN AMOUNT Landers, Frary and Clark Subscribes $300,000 in Bonds-—Poles and Ital- ians Contribute Generously—City Doffs Hats to Women Workers. With more than $2,800,000 actually accounted for, New Britain bankers are engaged during the few remaining hours of the Liberty Loan campaign in striving to reach $3,000,000 as the city's offering to Uncle Sam's war chest. New Britain’s maximum es- tablished by the federal treasury de= partment is $3,135,000, and, while those in charge of the campaign do not anticipate reaching this mark, they have not given up hope and they will not abandon hope until the bank doors are closed tomorrow night at 9 o'clock. Today a golden flood 1is passing over the counters of the New Britain Natlonal Bank, New Britain Trust company, Commercial Trust com- y, Savings Bank of New Britain, Savings Bank and other in- stitutions. New Britain residents are not vet willing to admit that the max- imum amount cannot be subscribed and they are making an eleventh hour drive to reach the larger figure. Even if the maximum is not attained, New Britain will have accomplished what was at first belleved to be an impossible task. The minimum set by the treasury department was $1,962,000, as it is patent that the Hardware City has far exceeded the expectations of its most optimistio citizens. This, in spite of the fact that the city subscribed 60 per cent. more than its allotment in the campaign for the first loan. 5 The $2,800,000 actually subscribed does not include $16,000 which was re- ported yesterday by the woman's cammittee or the amounts reported by the men campaigners. It also does not take into account yariouz other sources and it is almost certain that the three million mark will be surpassed. Poles and Italiang Generous. President Sloper of the New Britaln National bank today expressed ad- miration of the manner in which Polish and Italian residents had con- tributed to the loan. Hundreds of Poles have subscribed through the factories but in addition to their efforts more than $19,000 can be traced directly to Polish homes.

With the French Armies in France, Thursday, Oct. 25.—The French have reached the Aisne canal and Laon, eight miles away, is in sight. Follow= ing up the victory of Tuesday the French today took Monkey mountain, east of Vaux Aillon, the village of Pinon and the forest of the same name, as well as the village of Parg- ny-Filain, Certain demoralization in the Ger- man command is shown by contra- dictory orders found on prisoners. The question is asked whether an- other retreat is intended. Crossing the battlefleld in the vicin- ity of Vaurains and Saint Guillain farms the correspondent obtained am- ple evidence of the extent of the splendid French victory. Hundreds of prisoners in large groups were making their way to the rear, march- ing without escort. Damaged Ger- man machine guns lay everywhere, while scattered around were heaps of ammunition, cannon and immense quantities of military material. Many Germans were captured in the enormous cavern of Fruty. The approaches were battered severely and large holes had been torn in the roof, demonstrating the power and acou- racy of the French artillery. Not an inch of ground hereabouts had been left unchanged. The cavern has gal- leries about one kilometer long with many exits, most of which had been damaged greatly by the French guns. ‘When the French infantry dashed for- ward in the darkness they approached the entrances warily and found them full of Germans waiting for the mo- ment of attack. Rifle grenades and smoke bombs soon brought them out with their hands raised in token of surrender. Meanwhile the tanks had advanced with the infantrymen until the second German position was reached, de- stroying on the way any nest of ma- chine guns opposing the progress of the French troops. The tanks ad- vanced -“seVEYaT “Kilometers during which they met and demolished many machine gun nests. One tank was opposed by a determined German offi- cer with a large body of men who poured bullets upon the armored sides of the machines without effect. INinal- stitution, subscribed for $8,000 in bonds for itself and disposed of $11,000 to its customers. The parish of the Sacred Heart has also been & factor in the loan and under the urging of Rev. Lucyan Bajnowski has subscribed generously. ~Among the subscriptions from church socletles are: Guardian Angel soctety (girls) $100; Guardian Angel soclety ( boys) $50; Polish Temperance soclety, $100; Knights of Boleslow the Great $200; Polish Loan and Industrial Corporation $100; St. Stanislaw’s so- ciety $100; Sisters of Holy Rosary, $100. Tnvestments by Ttalian societies are ly the French officer in command de- scended from the tank and with his revolver forced the whole group to surrender. Another tank found a battery of fleld guns facing 1it. As soon as the tank opened fire half of the artillery- men threw up their hands, while the remainder bolted only to fall beneath a hail of machine gun bullets from the monster, Today the French advance proceed- ed rapidly and the units reached the varlous objectives with regularity. After taking the village if Pinon, the patrols went forward and entered the forest of the same name. They found also reported today. The General Amiglio society has subscribed $500 for the organization and $1,000 for its members individually. The Victor Emanuel Star of Italy society has sub- scribed for $500 in bonds. L. F. & O. Invests $300,000. Among the largest subscribers in the city has been the Landers, Frary & Clark Mfg. Co. whose subscription has been announced as $300,000. Miss Iliga Harvey who has been conducting the sale of Liberty Bonds in the Vocational High school reports that the sales have reached the neigh- borhood of $2,400. Although a few of the bonds were bought by the pupils, the majority was subscribed for by members of the faculty. At a meeting of the Catholic ‘Women's Benevolent Legion last even- ing it was voted to buy a $100 bond. Tt was also voted to send to each member’'s son in the service a Christmas box. Team Reports.

The Germans had found it impossible to get the weapons away over the marshes ad- joining the Aisne canal, over which most of the bridges had been de- stroyed, making the retreat of artil- lery impracticable. Hundreds of machine guns were captured by the French and many of them were turned on the fleeing Ger- mans who had left plenty of ammuni- tion behind. It is reported that 150 cannon havé fallen into French hands, but the number is uncertain owing to the condition of the battlefield and its width. The same uncertainty ap- plies to the total number of prisoners, hundreds of Germans being encount- ered on all parts of the field marching wearily back to the French lines. The sight of the towers of cathedral of Laon on the horizon a few miles away spurred the French soldlers to wonderful efforts of cndurance and swiftness of movement. They went on determinedly in pursuit of Ger- mans leaving parties behind to clear out cellars and caverns, which dis- gorged hundreds of demoralized p oners who seemed astounded at the vastness of their defeat, With all this severe fighting on a battlefield where the Germans held strong positions and where they ac- cepted the challenge of the French army to a stand-up combat, the French casualties were remarkably low.

Christ, Abbe and Farley to Hear Retail Dealers RELIEF PROMISED SOON Public May Have Opportunity of Ex- pressing Gricvances at Open Meeting Tuesdsy Night—Price Expected to Be Brought Down Next Week. The first actual step towards giving this oity relief from high coal prices will be taken Tuesday morning when retailers will appear at City hall be. foro the local coal commission con- sisting of Ernest W. Christ, A. N. Abbe and W. J. Farley, who have been appointed by State Administrator Russell. Hearings, which will be of a private nature, will open at 9 o’clock and the entire day if necessary, will be allowed dealers to state their side of the case and explain why prices are as high as those being charged to That will conclude the case as r as the coal dealers are concerned. Although no date has been definite- ly decided on, it is possible that a pub- lic hearing will be held Tuesday evening, when coal consumers will be permitted to express their grievances. It is expected that the price of coal will then be established within 48 hours. New Britain has a coal commission that gives promise of doing things. Mr. Christ is purchasing agent for the Stanley Works and Mr. Abbe holds a similar position for the P. & F. Cor- bin company. Both have probably bought more coal for their respective concerns than all coal retailers in New Britain put together. Mr. Farley is a shrewd merchant, in close touch with the consumers and will, no doubt be heard from.

FABRIZZIO GIVES UP FOR OCT. 16 SHOOTING Admits Firing at Wife in | Pleasant Street House— | —Went to Hartford. | f | | ] i Giavanni Fabrizzio, who on October | 16 fired five shots at his wife in thelr home at §6 Pleasant strect, and since | that time has succeeded in evading the law, in company with his coun- scl Attorney Conti, walked into the police station this afternoon and sur- rendered himself to the authorities. Heé was held for trial in the police court tomorrow morning under bonds of $3,000 on a charge of assault with | intent to kill.

He also admitted the ownership of the .22 calibre revolver found yes- terday by the police. The accused told the police immediately after the shooting that he walked to the corner of Chestnut and | | Stanley streets where he boarded a | Hartford trolley car. This story Is in direct contradiction with that told by neighbors on the morning of the shooting who informed the police that they saw the fugitive running in the direction of East street. Fabriz- | zio has been in Hartford since then, and according to his own statements | he has made no attempt to evade the police. Last evening he visited At- torncy Conti to whom he related his predicament, and on advice of the lawyer he decided to give himself up. This morning Attorney Conti com. municated with the local police and promised to deliver his client at the station.
