The first ardor of the work has passed. Many of the énumerators have had little time to give to the enterprise during the past few days. Many boys and men to be enumerated are dlmclflt to reach because of being out of town or at work in places where the enu- merators cannot find time to see them when the enumerators have an oppor- tunity to do so. Incidentally, there are those listed to be enumerated who do not desire to be checked up. This is due to a mistaken fear that the census work is closely related to a possibility of enlistment, but this is absolutely a wrong idea. It is the ambition of those who have the work in charge, however, t0o make a complete census in Putnam and this undoubtedly will be done. Plans for the immediate future were talked over =t a meeting of enumerators Thurs- day night. The census men constantly -urge those who can to seénd in the infor- mation wanted, or better still, to come to the chamber of commerce rooms and volunteer the information. Gift to Trade School. From the Clark estate in Pomfret there has been received as a gzift at the State Trade school on Providence street a 10-horsepower steam emzine.

Principal A. B. Bovnton said Thurs- day afternoon that the varn being ed .out -by the students operating gotton textile machinery is finding a ready sale in Boston and that there is a steady demand for the school's pro- duct iri- this line. From 300 to 400 pounds of yam is being produced each week. " Red Cross Membership 150. ‘Mrs. Harold W.

But it appears he was not successful, for, although a complete report on the incident has not vet been received, it appears es- tablished that the sinKings are attrib- utable to a German submarine. “I can only repeat regrets of the admiralty that the Dutch merchant marine has lost precious ships. The incident proves how dangerous it is to navigate the prohibited zomes and gives expression to our wish that neutral navigators cease to cross the zone and remain in their ports.
