Almost immediately after the armi- stice was signed the Staaken plant be- gan converting fighting planes on hand into commercial machines in- temded to link all the European capi- tals with Berlin, and dozens of planes built entirely of aluminum are being transformed for postal service. 4 ‘trans-Atlantic Zeppelin, capable of carrying 100 passengers and hav- ing nine engines and eight propellers, is being constructed at Friedrichshaf- en, the correspondent says. Its first flight will be in July next, if the in- ternational situation clears up by that time. The trip is expected to be made in 40 hours. The correspondent was told of the remarkable flight of a Zeppelin in No- 1917, The airship started from Bulgaria for East Africa with 22 tons of munitions and medicines and a crew of 22. It had arrived over Khartoum in the Sudan, the corres- pondent’s informant declared, when it was ordered by wireless to return be- , | cause it was learned that the bulk of the forces of Gen. von Lsttow-Vor- beck, the German commander in East Africa, had surrendered. It returned to its starting point four days after it had left. Managing Director Raasch, of the aircraft factory at Staaken, this airship could have gone Berlin to New York and back from with- | out stopping. PRIVATE DIXON WOUNDED Hospital in France.

Harold Sloper’s bungalow, on what is known as Sunset Rock in Plainville, was hit by a tornade of youths Thursday afternoon and when they had finished the damage amounted to $200. The place was completely wrecked. The boys who commlitted the deed were apprehended by the police | and six of them were arrested by the Plainville authorities. The size of tho boys made everyone who saw them wonder how it was that they were strong enough to iift the heavy in- struments which they used in the do- struction. From the methods used | and the reckless manner in which they went about the affair, the blame is laid on the movies, where such deeds are often pictured. The youths were tried in the town court yesterday aft- ernoon and two of them were com- citted to the reform school in Meri- den, They presented an amusing sight when they were seated in front of the judge, for their heads hardly reached over the tops of the chairs. The boys and their sentences follow: Henry Gagner, allowed to go on payment of costs; Lewis Loomis, found gullty and sentenced to reform school, but judgment was suspended and he was placed in care of Proba- tion Officer Connelly, of New Britain ‘William Ralph and Garland Daniels, who proved themselves led on by the others, were allowed to go free; Roy Maisonville and TLeo Okula were proved to be the ring-leagers and were sentenced to the reform school. Mr. Sloper showed a most kind manner in court and stated that he did not want to see any of the boys suffer. He did say, however, that his house has heen wrecked so often he is determined it shall cease. Judge Condell was on the bench and it was the first time that court session was held in the newly constructed town hall. The new court room is a great improvement over the The arrangement is similar to city courts where the judge's seat and the prosecutor's seat are on a platform, Americanization Movement. Plainville will co-operate in the state campaign for Americanization. A committee has been appointed to { serve in this town and a united effort will be made to have as many of the foreign element become citizens as possible. The work was started last night when Joseph W. Alsop of the State Council of Defense and H. H. Wheaton, the state director of the Americanization committee of State Council of Defense, addressed the local committee. Both men were interesting speakers and explained in a clear manner the work ahead af the committee, They told of the purpose of this campaign for Ameri- canization and told of the efforts which will be made to interest all foreigners who have not shown their intentions of becoming citizens. The work of the Plainville committee, as explained by these men, will not be as difficult as that in other towns be- cause of the fact that there are but few nationalities represented here. The majority of the people of this town who will be reached by this campaign are Italians and for this reason several Italians were placed on the committee in order that they might co-operate apd make the cam- gn more successful. The popula- tion of this town, uniike nearby citles, is not made up of men of all nation- alities. The Plainville committee on Am- ericanization is as follows: Merritt 0. Ryder, chairman; Henry Trum- buil and R. B. Bennctt representing the manufacturers; Frederick Bullen of the school committee; William Cafferty, Willlam Foran and Anna Grannis: Miss Graaniss was named on this commit- tee because of the amount of work along these lines which she had hone BANK ‘the little extras There is hardly a man, woman or | child, who does not occasionally earn a extra These little extras should not go easy because they come but should go into an interest | account in this Strong Bank.

The war was a orime. Who doubis that? It was a crime in the way in Wwhich it was planned and in the deli- berate wantonness with which it was provoked. It also was a crime in the invasion of a helpless little state and in the wicked and most brutal treat- ment of that little state. Remember the treaty of neutrality, the scrap of paper. “The fact that all these iniquitous things were done in the name of war and under the imperial edict of an autocrat does not change their nature. “Is 1o onme responsible? Is no one to be called to account? Is there to be no punishment? Surely, that is neither God'$ justice nor man's. The men responsible for this outrage on the human race must not be let off because their heads were crowned when they perpetrated the deed “The British government referred the question of the criminal culpa- bility of the Kaiser and his accom- plices to their law offices some w ago. They invited a body of juri in Hngland to investigate the matter and they have unanimously come to the conclusion that the Kaiser a his accomplices in the making of thi war ought to be tr by an int ional c6Urt.
