At the annual meeting of the offi- cers and director of the Trumbull Electric Co. reports were read by the secretary and a general business dis- cussion was held by the directors and officers. The concern has been grant- ed several big contracts by the gov- ernment for war material and sup- plies and of late has been rushed to the utmost in the filling of the or- ders. It was announced that a certain part of the factory that is now en- gaged in working on government or- dgers for electrical appliances and ap- paratus for ships and in cantonments will be allowed to operate on the Mondays that all other parts of the factory are required to shut down. The election of officers and direc- ters for the concern took place at the conclusion of the business session and the following were elected: Pre ident, John H. Trumbull; vice-presi- dent, F. T.

The doors of the church were thrown open at 7 o'clock and immediately the crowd began to arrive in a steady stream until the church was filled. The amount of tickets sold was around 0 and the crowd in attendance last night was estimated at about 525, so it seems that most all those who bought tickets for the event took ad- vantage of the affair and were pr ent. The pictures were highly sat factory and showed some interesting scenes from the battle front. Sergeant Pimlott of the British army gave an interesting address on his experiences while serving on the front in the first line trenches. It was while on duty in one of the big battles that he was wounded to such an extent that he was forced to go to one of the field hospitals and from there he was sent back to England be- cause of the fact that he had served that required length. of time in the trenches.

TOLD SAILING DATE; OFFICER ARRESTED Army Man Disclosed to Name of Vessel and When It Would Leave. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—A young army | officer, who confided to a relative the name of a ship on which he was going overseas and the date of sailing, is under arrest pending an investigation of whether his superiors properly in- structed him concerning the require- ment of secrecy. In announcing the arre the War department did not disclose the offi- cer's name. The purpose in giving publicity to the incident is to cmpha- size the department’s determination to prevent the spread of information con- cerning the movement of transports. This statement was issued: “The War department authorizes the announcement that a voung offi- cer is held in arrest because he di- vulged to a relative the name of the vessel upon which he was about to tart overseas and the scheduled date of departure. As a Tesult of this pro- hibited information, the relative of the young officer, a first lieutenant, sent a telegram to him at the port of em- barkation. This telegram, which was not in cipher, furnished information which, in the hands of the enemy, might have endangered the vessel and all aboard. “The disclosure of such information by officers and men about to sail is | strictly forbidden in general orders No. 94, War department, 1917, and warning is again issued that officers and men must not acquaint relatives or friends with details of arrange- ments for departure. Disciplinary ac- tion faces offender: “The case of the young officer in arrest in this instance is before the war department for action, allow- ing an investigation at the port of embarkation. “There is also to be further in- quiry to ascertain whether the im- mediate superior of the afficer held in arrest properly instructed this of. ficer as to the requirement of secrecy concerning the names of vessels and sailing dates.” THREE KILLED, 19 OVERCOME BY GAS | Epidemic of Asphyxiation in Brooklyn | Prompts Medical Examiner to Start Investigation.
