Postmasters A. B. Goodrich of Ber- lin and W. W. Fagan of Kensington received notification from the postof- fice department this morning that there would be no sale of the surplus army foodstuffs from the pastoffice as advertised, but that the sale would be onducted -through the governors of the states. The order to the post- masters read as follows: Postoffice Department, ‘Washington. August 16, 1919. Postmaster: Notice has just been Yreceived from the war department that all surplus army foodstuffs in the New York zone, comprising the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, have been or will be turned over to the governors of those states for distribu- tion 'through municipalities. You will therefore discontinue all efforts to dispose of the foodstuffs by parcel post, refund any meney you may have | received from consumers with orders, and notify newspapers that may have been given information regarding the proposed sale and distribution by par- ¢el post of the change in plans.

Berlin and Kensington will now have to'buy the foodstuffsin New , Britain if they want to get in on the distribution. The ecpportunity to ob- tain a share of the food supply is le sened by transferring the distribution to New Britain as the city gets an al- lotment which is only sufficient for those residing in that place. Chances were better to get a share in the dia tribution through the each small community was given an al- lotment. 1t ‘was learned the principal reason for the change was that New York and New Jersey were exceeding their | municipal allotments so that a much smalfér surplus remains, so much go that it was thought inadvisabic to dis- | tribute to every little community. Put- ting the remainder of the supply in the hands of the governor will dispose of the remaining surplus quicker than by parcel post. 1 Motorcyclist Injuréd.

PLAINVILLE NEWS COLONEL HADSELL HOME ON FURLOUGH Army Officer Led Negroes Into Mexico Alter Villistas SON GOING 10 Y}EST POINT Rain Causes Damage—Basc] all Tearh Defeatcd—Government Food Be- 2 Sold At Post Office—Brief Items of Intcrest, Colonel Arthur G. Hadsell arrived at his nome on Church street las ning on a 14-day furlough. It first furlough since late in he will endeavor to obtain a months' leave of absence, to which he is entitled at the present time. Col- onel Hadsell is one of the type of mil- men who have started at the bottom and has risen to his present position through hard work. Colonel’ Hadsell has the distinction of leading the American troops on French soil during the recent World war. He was the first Ameri- can officer of a combatant force to go | ashore and brought with him his | unit, Company F of the 28th U. S. Infantry. He was in command of the | 24th Infantiy, colored trocps, which recently crossed the border and hunt- ed ‘the Villistas, who had fired at| Americans. The soldier officer is an who is loved by his .- i kind ,of and the men COL. ARTHUR G. HADSELL. and permanent smile ed by persons in civil, as well as muiitary life. ~This morning he was radiant as he sat once more in his old home cn Church street. He remarked that he s born in the same house 46 vears ago and is hap- py to be in it again. His military career started when at the age of 15 vears he left Plain- ville and attended a military school near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. After fin-| ishing his course there he attended various colleges for a period of six yvears. In 1895 and 1896 he lived in New Britain and was a member of Co. E of the old National Guard. He was made a first lieutenant in the out- | fit. In 1897 he again returned to this town staying here for about a ar. He laughed this morning when asked if New Britain could claim him, and replied: “Well if it does any of them any good I guess I really belong to Plainville, having been born here and keeping my home here.”” In 1898 the Spanish-American war called out the militiamen of the country and the colonel with Co. When the outfit was mustered out of the federal service at the end of the war, he was retained as a second lieutenant in the regular arm His first regular army assignment was to the Philippines where he serv- ! ed until 1962.

The guide attended a cock-fisht the next day and his enemies who heard of his betrayal cut his body into small pieces. Colonel Hadsell won another Philippino over to his confidence and had him take the oath of allegiance to the United Stafes. The man was rich as he owned 10,000 acres of sugar land and it considered a great mph for Americans. The next morning when Colonel Hadsell awoke and looked from his window, the head of the Philippino was on his doorstep. The man’s head wAs cut off during the night and left with the American officer to show him the work which could be done against traitors. - In 190 Colonel Hadsell was sent to San Francisco and for a year stationed at ncouver Barracks Washington. In 1905 he was turned to the Philippines with native Philippine scouts under command. He was the only man ‘with the natives and they adored him. They built houses of banana leaves for him and waited on him as a chieftain. ‘In 1907 he was returned to the was the was. in re- 110 his white a permanent capt: the 16th infantry Arkansas.

At one time his men penetrated to where the water on one side flows into the Pacific ocean and on the other side empties into the Arctic. ~One ‘night it was 70 degrees below zero and so cold -that even the mules came close to the firq to warm themselves. While rolling a cigarette or during ‘any trivial thing the fingers of the men would start to freeze and they would have to thaw them with snow. In 1911 and 1912 he attended army schools at Fort I,e:u‘ekor(h. sas. Later he was made an in- spector and inspected the militias in New York, Texas and Arkansas. In 1916 when trouble with Mexico started he was assigned to the horder at Fort Rigold. Later he was trans- | ferred to the New York state militia which was in poor condition. He was made adjutant general of the Third Brigade and the improvement in the troops in a short time was noticeable to all army men at the border. When the World war started he was assigned to train college men at the officess’ training school at Fort Riley, Kansas. The 28th was assigned to service overseas and Colonel Hadsell was permitted to join his old command. They left Hoboken, N. J., on June 12, 1917, the vanguard of the three million or more men who later showed the Germans what real fighting was and what Americans could do toward victory. The marines were amongst the men crossing. Col- onel Hadsell and men were on the Tenadores, the leading ship. While off St. Nazaire, France, they were at- tacked by submarines and lost one ship, the Kansan, which carried sup- plies. The marines were on the old German ship, Eitel Freiderich, and the skipper of the Tenadores said he was more afraid the 16 guns of the Eitel Friederich would sink him than he was of the submarine. Colonel Hadsell was at the front with his men, but never went into ac- tion with them as he was recalled to He saw a week’s action with the crack 146th French Infan- It was while overseas’ nRyJ he s promoted to the rank of/fieuten- ant colonel and ordered #ack here where he was placed in charge of the 79th Division at Camp Meade, Mary- land. When the armistice was signed he was given the permanent rank of colonel and assigned to the 25th In- fantry at the borde Colonel Hadsell likes the negroes as soldiers. He said this morning that he was confronted with a hard task when he took the men, as the unit had 18 men hung for mutining at the border and perhaps 100 were in Fort Leavenworth. The negroes took to him and have served him well. Re- cruits are pouring in daily and there are over 3,800 men on the rolls at the present time. “The men behaved nobly while in Mexico,” stated the col- onel, “and did some fine fighting in cleaning up the Mexicans.” We occu- pied the town of Juarez until it was turned over to Carranzistas.” Colonel Hadsell shows his hatred for the Mexicans and says the place hotbed of revolution where ng one is safe. Im his opinion the only real settlement of the situation is a good cleaning up of Mexico. He places no faith whatever in the Carranza government and despises Villa and his tactics. While being interviewed this morn- ing he received a letter from Wash- ! ington stating that President Wilson s appointed his son, G. Arthur Had- | st Point. Colonel Had- | s glad the boy re- ceived the appointment.
