A great deal of criticism has been directed by citizens against the com- pany which erected the honor roll board in front of the town hall, as a large number of the names in- scribed are misspelled. The names were given to the work- men by Rev. Samuel A. Fiske and | were correct, it is alleged. In paint- ing them onto the board the men did not copy them correctly. Parents of the boys in service have registered complaints with the Home Council of Defense and it is said that the pay- ment for the completion of the board will be held up until the mis- takes are rectified. Urges Board to Hurry. With a request having been made by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb to the local exemption boards to hurry along the names of the men who will ake up the remaining 15 per cent for the National Army, it is expected that a call will be received by the lo- cal men within the next few days. Benjamin I Miller, clerk of the dis- trict board, issued a statement sev- eral days ago that the men had al- ready been certified but the board was waiting for orders from the gov- ernment before issuing the call. Tt is not known yet how many men | will be called from Berlin. A num- | ber have been exempted because of dependency but there are still a num- ber remaining who are physically qualified to go and have no claims for cxemption. Berlin Briefs.

BE NATIONAL UNIT Connecticut Fully Prepared for New Militia Formation Washington, Nov. 30.—The forma- tlon of a new national militia throughout the country, to take: the place of the National Guard, which is now incorporated in the regular army, is announced in the “Army and Navy Journal.” This national body of troops will include, it is said, the Home Guards of the various states, and Connecticut, one of the first states to organize a Home Guard, will con- tribute its quota. The new organization will be under the command of Colonel Jesse McI. Carter, U. S. Cavalry, with rank of brigadier general. Colonel Carter has sent out certain memoranda and questions to the adjutant's general of ! the different states and the organi- zation of the new militia will not be completed until answers to these have ! been received, ltions for the aviation corps. | expects to be ordered to ! all are invited to the home on East Plainviile News AVIATION CORPS APPEALS TO MANY Branch of Service WOMEN DO THER “BIT” Mr. and Mrs. John B.

The the honor roll of young men have voluntarily offered their services to the government has been materially augmented during the past few weeks Several who were not called for ex- amination for the National Army and ! others who were under the draft ages | specified have heard the call to the colors and answered. For some time oflicial military bul- letins have described the urgent need of men in aviation and there has been a crying demand for enlistments in this branch of the service. Four young men of this town were attract- ed by the possibilities which this unit offered and accordingly sought enlist- ment in the aviation corps, Several days ago John Butridge, a resident of Bristol, but for the past few months employed in this town at the Rockwell-Drake division of the Marlin Arms company, bade good- bye to his friends in Plainville and went to Boston to take the examina- He was rejected by the officials at the re- heartened. He decided to make an- other try in Hartford for air service with the British Aero squadron which has opened up a recruiting station in the capital city. He passed the ex- aminations successfully, following 60 days in which to settle up various business matters. Ho will report at a cadets’ training camp in Canada at the expiration of his furlough. He will spend from three to six months in the training camp according to his ability to grasp the fundamentals of flying and after he has mastered the art will be immediately dispatched over- seas. Butridge has former military train- ing and for a time was a member of Company D in Bristol. Last summer he saw active service at the Mexican bongler at the time this country was em- broiled in the controversy with Villa. Butridge arrived in Plainville this morning and will resume his dutles at the Rockwell-Drake company until within a few days before he Is sup- posed to report for training. George Miller left this morning for San Antonio, Texas, where he was or- dered to report for training. A num- ber of his friends were at the station to bid him Godspeed. Miller took the examination for the air service at Boston recently and was enlisted as a mechanic. For the past few months he was connected with the Cooke garage and previous- ly with the Trumbull Electric com- pany. Has Three Sons in Service. No other Plainville parents have perhaps made as great a sacrifice as Mr. and Mrs. John P. Minor of East Main street. They have three sons in the service of Uncle Sam. James Minor, the oldest son, for a number of years has‘been a member of the National Guard of New York state and is at present stationed in the Metropolis waiting an assignment. He saw active service at the Mexican border last summer. John B. Minor, Jr., has gone to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was ordered to report after he had successfully passed the examinations at Boston for the aviation corps. Eldred (Dick) Minor has also been accepted for air service, having suc- cesstully passed the examinations. He report at some training camp in the near fu- ture. Doing Their “Bit.” The women of the town these days are engaged in many activities, all of which are deemed to play an import- ant part in the cause of democracy.

Answers were requested | from each state to the following ques- tions. ‘““What forces are now avail- able in your state for this duty?

Among the National Army men who spent the holiday here were Herbert Bwald, Howard Warren, Thomas Prior, Daniel Tedesco, John Simpson, Charles Orvis, Howard Thomas, Wil- liam Cunningham and Earl Smith. Smith and Cunningham will not re- turn until the first of the week. William Parkinsor, James Leo Mc- Nally and John Pettinato were forced to remain at Camp Devens to assist in guarding the cantonment. Only 40 per cent, of the drafted men were probably be allowed home for brief visits in the future. Superior Court Cases. Two Plainville men will be tried perior court.
