Mortar Boy A great deal of unfavorable com- ment was caused yesterday by the | mixup in the fire alarm which sound- od at noon to i fire In the Russell block. | for @ fira in that district is two biasts | of the whistle and six blasts blown, calling the firemen to the dls trict in the vicinity of Hamlin street. The firemen were waiting at that { place for the apparatus and nonplussed by the fallure of the j chemleal truck to appear. Criticism of the fire alarm system 1is being heard in all quarters and general opinion seems to favor = change in the systam. The whistle ut the Bris- tol Manufacturing company's plant Is connected electrically with the telephone exchange and the fire alarm is blown from there. Nearly every time a fire breaks out in Plain- ville, there is a great deal of confu- sion caused by the erratic manner in which the alarm is given and the gen- eral public feol that for their protec- tlon and also for the benefit of the firemen themselves, some change should be made in the system. Locomative Derailed. A light engine on the Highland Di- vision of the New Haven road was de- railed last evening at a point where a new track is being laid. The c tender behind the engine was also thrown from the tracks. Westbound traffic was held up for some time by the accident. No one ¥ injured and the cause of the accident is un- known. The wrecker was dispatched to get the car and engine on the tracks. Trench Mortar Boys Bac The people of Plainville are mysti- fled as to the whereabduts of the 301st Trench Mortar Battery. The ainit,: when last heard from, was sta- tioned at St. Nazaire in France. It is now reported as being in New York city, and It is understood that the battery will be sent to Camp Devens to be demobilized. The battery did not see service in the trenches, being due there on November 10, the day before the signing of the armistice. On the way the train rolled down an embankment into six feet of water, causing one death in the battery. Tho delay prevented the men fromentering the trenches. There have been, two deaths in the entire battery since ar- riving in France. The men had an eventfu] trip across being attacked by nine submarin The convoy wa composed of hips and not one was lost. A sailor told one of the men that seven of the submarines were sunk by depth bombs. Plainville peo- ple are interested in the battery as it contains several Plainville boys. Mrs. Carl Hultenus Mrs. Carl Hultenus died at her home in Forestville, after a short iliness of pneumonia and in- fluenza. She leaves her parents and her husband, and a sister, Miss Viola Moran of Forestville. Mrs. Hultenus ix a native of Forestville and married Mr. Hultenus about a year ago. They lived in Plainville for some after their marriage. Brief Item. Miss Dorothy Conlon, daughter Thomas Conlon of Whiting street, is in St. Francls’ hospital in Hartford, suffering from eczema. The child was taken to the hospital several days ago and her condition is sald to be rerious. The topic for discussion at tha mid-week meeting this evening at the Congregational church will be “Chris tian Leadership in a Democracy. The standing committee of the Con- gregational church will meet at the parsonage on Friday evening at 7:30. LOST—On New Year' fur neckplece between Neal's court and Central square.

Means has told members of the senate committee that certain Boy-Ed papers which reveal the inner 3 ing of the German spy system are the hands of Alfred L.

Biclaski, Humes and Lester do not want his testimony taken. Bielaski will resumc stand tomorrow to give further de- tails about operations of German and propagandists in the tates.
