Copenhagen, Nov. 6.—Talaat Bey, the Turkish grand vizier, declared that Turkey’'s aim in the war was to secure independence from all the great powers, including her present allies, according to .an interview granted the Constantinople corre- spondent of the Vossiéche Zeitung of Berlin. He said Turkey could not make peace without regaining all her lost territory, either by force of arms or by negotiations. The sultan, he added, might possibly accept Emperor William's invitation to visit Berlin. Every company of the First regl- meat or tic Coanect:c v “nwwent s thorough practical drill That the local come pauy made a4 gooa unpression is evi- denced by the fact that Captain John ‘Trumbull was highly complimented by one of the commanders for the showing which the Plainville organi- zation made. ‘That the Home Guard of this town is several degrees more proficient than it was several days ago and that the public knows more about the officers and men who have trained and drilled during the summer season seems to be the consensus. The guardsmen yesterday responded to a call for duty similar to the plan for which they were organized under the new law last spring. Under clear skies with a wind some- what cold for their cotton khaki uni- forms members of the organization lost no time in getting to the town hal] when the sighal was given. only members of the Home Guard showed up for duty but also members of the Machine Gun Battalion and of the ambulance company were in evi- dence and ready for service. Inas- much as only members of the Home Guard proper were called out those who volunteered from the other units had to be dismissed. Each man who went to Hartford was equipped to stay 24 hours with blankets, pouches and haversacks. About 4 o’clock the local company: which was as; gned to guard the mu- hicipal bulldin, as relieved from duty and prepartions were fnade for the return trip. On return the men were mustered out at the Town hall. Owing to the tac} that overcoats belonging to the Home Guard must be turned over te the government all members are to receive new coats in a few days. Only commissioned offi- cers are allowed to retain the regula- tion overcoats of the United States army. The new coats will be of Al- pine blue and Will have a cape. The cotton khaki uniforms will have to be worn for the present until arrange- ments can be made to secure others of heavier material. ‘Top Sergeant Gage Kent of the Am- bulance Company has announced that members of the medical unit are not supposed to report for service unless 8o ordered by telephone. When the services of the medical unit are needed ,Captain” Allen, who is charge of the platoon at Hartford, is supposed to get in touch with offi- cers in charge of the Plainville con- tingent, who in turn notify local mem- bers where and when to appear for mobilization. Dr. Stewart Phelps of Farmington has been appointed as first lieutenant of the Ambulance Company for the First regiment of the Connecticut Home Guard by Cap- tain Allen of Hartford. He will be attached to the Plainville platoon and will fill the vacancy left open when Dr. Lawrence H. Frost was com- missioned as a liedtenant in the offi- cers’ reserve corps. The only thing which marred yes- terday's performance of the Home Guard was the irregularity of the blowing of the signal which calls the military forces into service. Seven blasts of the whistle call the Home Guard into action but yesterday the whistle first blew seven times and then five times. As a result the mem- bers of the Plainville hose company also congregated at the Town hall thinking there was a fire. The firemen have made the suggestion that some other means of calling the military forces bé used that the efficlency of the fire department may be main- tained. Owing to the cold weather it is though that the whistle is liable to be affected by the cold. ’ Church Notes.
