All_who like to think of Danielson and Putnam as leading county towns and rightfully, will find something to hold their attention in the statemept of the number of school children enumerated in Windham county towns, Plainfield, with an enumeration of 1,670, is ahead of both Killingly and Putnam and In second place, coming after Windham. Killingly’s enumera- is 1,825, Putmam’s 1535. Race suicide doesn't account for this change from the figures of a few years 280. It is due solely to Plainfield’s surpris- ing growth the most rapid of any town in this part of the state 'If Killingly might claim those children on the Wesi Side, but Brooklyn couldn’t' be expected to stand for that, though they -are_really in Danielson and nearly 300 of them attend school in the ugh—at St James'—this town might give Plainfield a run for position on enumeration! figures.

Tha emergency tax act is now being fully observed In Danlelson and vicin- ity, so far as can be learned. The special stamps are to be had in the various denominations and in desired quantities. A look through the stores during these holiday shopping days will demonstrate that the merchants Have compHed, as requirea, with the || regulations for stamping various kinds of merchandise. The pennies being collected on bills of lading are Paid regularly and there seems to be no inclination to avoid paying the ex- tra_cent collected on toll Tine telo- phone calls on which the charse is 5 cents and over. The people are acting very nice over the matter that & rreat many of them profess not to like at ail. Taking Parish Centsus. Rev. M. J. Ginet, M.

Macdonald_has a letter from Miss Catherine Duffy of Fall River in which she makes inquiry about her father, who, she sets forth, has disappear- ed. = She indicates the possibility that he mav have been the man whose body was taken from a mill trench here last summer and was later buriei unidentified. Miss Dufty says that her father camo here a shorl time before the body was found ana worked in a mill. Just a few days before the body was found he decided to leave here and go to Manville. He never arrived at that! place and baggage sent there for himi was never claimed. Possibly Miss Duffy may be right in her suspicion that the-bedy of the man found here was that of her faier, but the chances are that it was some- one eise. The body found was that of a younger man than she describes her father to have been. There are al- S0 other discrepencies that indicate to local officials who have given atten- tion to that matter that she is on the wrong trail and that her father may vet be found alive. The belief still prevai's here that the body found was that of & man who had lived in Putnam and Attawaugan and who has not been seen since about two weeks before the body was found ACTIONS SUSPICIOUS. Three Youths Guests at Cargill House Sharply Questioned. The police were cailed to the Cargili house Thursday morning to Investi- gate the doings of three youths wh) ad been staying there this week. They were taken into custody temporarily, that they" might be questioned at the police station. They were found prowling about a room other than the ones they had been occupying and later fifty cents and some other things were reported missing. The youths were, according to_ their statements, John Martin, 19, and Ed- warq McNally 21, both giving Fall River addresses, and Willlam Brady of 64 Jane street, Bridgeport. After giving them a close inspection and asking them many questions, the po- lice released the .boys upon their agreement to get out of town. OBITUARY, James Blake.

The German crulsers sent to the bot- tom off the Falkland islands on De- cember 8 apparently were taken un- uwares by the British, at a time when neither side was expecting an en- counter. The first detailed accounts of the battle, which reached here to- day from Puerto Gallegos, Patagonia, say that the Germans were on thelir way to_geize the Falkland lslands, British possessions, when_they came unexpectedly upon a lone British war- ship. The other members of the Briti- sh fleet were taking on supplies from neighboring islands at the time. Be- fore the Germans were aware of the strength of their opponents these ships closed in on them and the fate of Admiral Von Spee’s squadron was soon realed. Germans Fbught Bravely. The stors: of the battle was told by passengers on the British steamer Orissa, which arrived at Punta Arenas from Callao, Chile. Germans fought bravely to the end even the colliers refusirg to surren- der. Losses of the British were placed at elght men. Formidable British Squadron. It was a formidable British squad- ron which faced the Germans. In- cluded in it were the battleships Can- opus. the battle cruisers Invincible and Tnflextble and the cruisers Kent, Cornwall, Carnarvon, Bristol = and Glasgow. It far outmatched In sth the German squadron, con- sting of the five cruisers Scharn- horst, Gneisenau, Leipzig, Nurnbers and Dresden. The British squadron arrived at Islands, on Port Stanley. Falkland December 7, to take on supplies The nert morni~g the Caropus, which was guariing the entrance to the port, sighted @ hostile warship. Four others quickly came into view and were rec- ognized as the squadron of Admiral Von Spee. The German warships h-ad left the Chilean islands of Juan Fer- randez, on November 15, for the Falk- land Islands, to take possession of the islands and destroy the wireless sta- tion. Only the Canopus was first ‘to the Germans, who steamed straight at her. The Canopus opened fire and other British warships rush- ed to her assistance. The Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipziz formed in battie line. The Nurnberg and Dresden, however, dropped back from the firing line. Scharnhorst’s Crew Cheered They Went Down. The British warships concentrated their fire on the Scharnhorst, which sank after an hour's fighting, When it became evident that the Scharn- horst, Admiral Von Spee’s flagship, was doomed her crew assembled on the forward deck. The Scharnhorst refused to surrender and soon plunged beneath the waves. The crew pre- served its formation as the ship went down and cheered as the waters closed about them. Glasgow Sank Leipzig. The Glasgow engaged the Leipzig and sank her. The Gneisenau went down 80 miles from Port Stanley. The Nurnberg attempted to escape but af- ter a pursuit of two hours was sunk.
