This is to be an open meeting and an effort is to be made to have pres- ent as many professional, business men and other citizens active in pro- moting good works as is possible. It is also desired to have a large at- tendance eof women. The meeting probably will take action for petition- inz American Red Cross headquar- at Washington, D. C., for a char- for a local branch Particular stress is laid on the fact the Red Cross is not exclusively roman’s orzanization.” Thousands of men throughout the country are included in its membership, which en- tails no oblizations, all that is done for or in the nama of the soclety be- ing on a purely voluntary basis. Mem. bership in the socicty costs one dol= lar a year. At present hundreds of thousands of American men and wom- en throughout this great nation are enrolling as members, and it is hoped to get several hundred here.

Red Cross Meeting. Members of the Putnam Red Cross chapter are to hold an all-day sew- ing meeting at the municipal building today. The workers are making hos- pital supplies. The directors of the Chamber of Commerge are to meet at their rooms Friday evening. Supplied Shoes and Rubbers. Through Red Cross workers here an ample supply of shoes and rubbers were promptly furnished the guards- men who are making head- quarters in this city. Members of the Public Health com- mittse are to meet Monday evening to consider an offer of expert assistance in making the survey of the city that Is contemplated. * i Work For Grangers. It has been suggested that subordin- ate granges in Windham county take up the work of mobilizing the resourc- es necessary to the planting and rais- ing of unusually large crops this vear, against the time next fall and winter when foodstuffs are expected to be high in price and very scarce. Total Enlistments Seventy-Two. Captain Everett ver, who has been active in recruiting Putnam's Home Guard company, said Tuesday afternoon that enlistments had reached a total of 72, within three of the max- imum allowed by law. so no doubt now exists that this city will be repre- sented by a full company. From' this number of enlistments Captain Carver expects to lose sever- al men, these making it known that they are going to enlist in the army or navy. Practically all the men have received their medical examinations ang are ready to take up their duties as soon as the formalities can be arranged.

For two months 75 pic- tures from the Providence Witer Color Club adorned the walls. These pic- tures were valued at more than $3,000. They were a delight to the eye. A’ conference of librarians, under the direction of the State Library sociation, was held in Fesbruary, thi ty representatives of libraries and schools were present. The librarian and the supervisor of schools are to cooperate in sending books rezularly to the schools of the outlying districts of the town, thus giving, as far as possible, the same benefits of the library to those at a distance as to thosé who are near. GERMAN CITIZEN SLANDERED ldle and Malicious Tongues Leave Their Owners Liable to Legal Pun- ishment. Danielson people who liked to hear themselves talk and. care little as to the truth of gossip they repeat, al- ready have succeeded in doing serious injury to one American of German birth in so far as charges against his patriotism and discretion are concern- ed and have likewise succeeded in do- Ing him a business hurt. Story after story, all without the slightest grain of truth have been circulated about Danielson, and all of them represented as authentic. That this is manifestly unfair and in some measure slander- ous and therefore punishable by law are considerations that may be taken into account by those who are so flip- pant in telling much that they do not knovw Fo cteen Houses Completed at Good- year. At Goodyvear Heights 14 dwellings 'e completed and need only water and sewer connections to be ready for occupancy. The work of runming wa- ter mains and bullding a sewer sys- tem is under way. In the meantime work is being rushed on whole streets of other new houses and the work of building the village proceeds apace. It has been decided not to open the village for tenants until at least a considerable number of houses are in complete readiness, which will be at an early date. ST. ALBANS' PARISH Annual Meeting—Church Officers Are Elected—Past Year Very Successful At the annual parish meeting of St. Alban’s church, reports of church of- ficers showed the past year to have been successful from many viewpoints. The year was marked by the depar- ture for Missouri of Rev. James H. George, Jr, much to the regret of the members of the sh, for he was an active and resourcefu] worker who accomplished much in building up the church and stimulating interest in its affairs. The financial report of the parish ‘was very satisfactory. During the past year a considerable amount of im- provement to the church property has been brought about. S Walter' E. Kies was elected chair- man of the executive committee, which is the same in makeup as last year, Alfred L. Reed was elected treas- urer, Elbert L. Darblie clerk and Barl Winslow collector. At the close of the meeting refresh- ments were served. QOirs. B. H.

N, expressed his pleas- ure Tuesday afternoon at the way applications for enlistment in this_city are coming in. Fifteen men have been before the quartermaster and of this number five have been pted. Defective vision and poor teeth con- tinye to be the chief reasons for the objections. But these men have been told that by proper care of the eves and attention to their dental needs they soon will be in a position to be recelved as members of Uncle Sar's sea forces. All of the applicants but one have been from Putnam: the other one was from the town of Pomfret. One of those who appiied was an alien. He had to be rejected in ac- cordance with the navy’s rule against enlisting anyone who has not both his first and second papers for citizen- ship. Quartermaster Strohan said Tuesday that he was surprised at the number of rejections here on account of de- fective vision, which he attributes, in large measure to unusual eve strain brought about by night reading and other practices apt to strain the eves. On the basis of the first two days of the week and with a little higher per- centage of acceptances from among the applicants it now seems possi- ble that nearly a score of men may be obtained here this week for the country’s naval forces. CHAPLAIN STEVENSON HEARD. Three Addresses Set Forth the Ad- vantages of the Navy For a Young Man. At the high school Tuesday morning, at the Bradley theatre in the afternoon and at the Congregational churchyin fhe evening, Chaplain Georgze E! T. Stevenson, U. S. N. formerly on the battleship West Virginia, gave ad- dresses tending tQ interest young men in Jife in the nav: 4 His addresses were illustrated with motion pictures and stereopticon slid- es, the subject of his chief address being Around tHe World with the At- lantic Fleet. Chaplain Stevenson’s talk did much to dispel a popular belief that the navy is madé up of rough young men who have néither respect nor _training aside from the disclipline enforced by the navy’s regulations. This idea relative to the enlisted men is entirely erroneous, Chaplain Stevenson pointed out. To cite the ‘good behavior and sobriety of the men of the fleet he mentioned that a few months ago 16,000 men of the At- lantic fleet were let ashore at Port au Prince for a two days' happy time. Of that big body of men just an even dozen returned intoxicated to thelr ships, and this is a saloon-infested port. _Chaplain Stevenson pointed out the spiritual, moral, mental and physical welfare of the men is carefully ‘look- ed after in the navy, and that no voung man who is not sotnd in body and of gmd habits is wanted aboard the ships. Pictures with the lecture showed the navy boys in scores of working and playing scenes and all showed the fleet of giant ships of the Atlantic fleet at battle practice. v —— BLIND, A WELL-DIGGER. imon Boliver Whitte- in Business Many The Late Don more Continued Years.
