Berne, Dec. 20, (Crrespondence)— German ingenuity has once more crists clothes and clothing. The authorities the so-called imperial clothing headquarters, according to Berlin pa- pers just arrived, have ordered all schools to turn in old wali maps that are mounted on linen or cloth of any sort. The maps, it is explainéd by the clothing headquarters, will then be separated from. the cloth by a cleans- ing process, apd the supply of linen thus obtained will be used, for cloth. ing if possible, but in any event for Hnings. / Lancaster, England, Dec. 21. (Cor- respondence)—The first industrial vil- lage for disabled soldiers and saflors is to be constructed here on a large etate given by Sir Thomas Storey. It is to be laid out with workshops, houses for married men and hostels or fra- ternal homes for others. . ‘There will be a new church, recrea- tion ground, garden, public park and the existing mansion will he used as a club house, There will also be ac- commodation for about 300 disabled: men in the village.

Real estate on Hartford ave- nue has been attached by Constable Winkle. The writ is returnable in the city court on the second Monday in January. Pnainivifie ADVISORY BOARD IS ANXI[]!S_F[IR WORK But Registrants Are in No Haste fo-Appear “MEANEST MAN" Resident Objects to Red Cross and Orders His Name Erased From List of Members—Soldiers Sought by State Police. The advisory board selected to as- sist the local drafted men in filling out their questionnaires s meeting regularly at the Business Men’s rooms and at other places that have been chosen for the work. Registrants are not- appearing as they ghould in order to ocmplete the job which is a long and arduous task, and it seems that the men do not understand the great amount of work involved in the making out of these papers which are important and which must be abso- lutely correct in every detail.” The men are asked to fill out as com- pletely as possible the questions asked Il.nd to come to the Advisory board with those questions with which they find any difficulty. The question- naires are long and in one instance one man worked almost for an hour before he had his completed. As these questionnaires are to be re- turned as soon as possible and not to be kept longer than seven days at _the most, a little more speed is urged by the committes in charge of those Wwho have this duty to perform. Mail Being Held Up. Congestion in the transportation of Christma’s mai] is being experienced by Postmaster Prior. The incoming mall iz arriging regularly but the trouble seems to lie with the outgoing matter which’ is being held up due to the overloading of trains and be- cause of the fact that they are tak- ing only first class mail and neglect- ing parcels which are taking a back seat as to the matter of classification. Seek Absent Soldiers. Members of the state police were in town this morning in search of soldiers who were forbidden to leave their barracks, and who have taken French leave of Camp Devens. Many have been ordered to spend their Christmas at the camp and it appears as though the men were not exactly in accord with the wishes of the mili- tary officials in regard to this ruling. There is no place like home when it comes to enjoying the Christmas holi- days. < War Department Mail. Official war department mail is awaiting claimants at the post office and as this is matter which concerns the drafted men it is very important that it be called for immediately. ‘Those having mail are Petro Martinel- li and Angelo Fornari of White Oak. Plainville Briefs. The local barber shops will keep open until 11 o’clock on Monday night and will be closed all day Tuésday. Ressie McLeod, who is stationed at Fort Socum, has written to his brother and states that he has received his uniform and is expecting to be sent across for active service on the battle- front. He enlisted in the ordnance department as a machinist. The Plainville Trust company have received its calendars for the year 1918 and will begin the distribution among its customers on Saturday morning. E 400 New Red Cross Members, According to the latest Teport re- garding the progress of the campaign which is being waged for members for the Red Cross society, a total of 400 members has been secured and prep- arations are underway for the final big drive, which will be made today and Saturday, to endeavor to come as near as possible to the required num- ber, which is 1,000. It is hoped that the public will answer the call of hu- manity and do its share in this most important work.
