Hamberger, Boston; fed- gral reserve bank representative, was in_Danielsipn { Friday morning"for a conference. /with Chajrman Charles A. Tillinghast of the Killingly Central Liberty committes relative to the campaign for the sale of Liberty bonds in_this town. Mr. Hamberger went over the whole situation with what is being done here. Friday evening there was a confer- ence of commjtteemen at the rooms of the Danielson Trust company and much of the detafl for placing the bonds. In this town werked out. The time limit for subscritions. is placed at June 15 two weeks hemce, and during that time, it is hoped to make a thorough canvass of the different sec- tions of Killingly fof subscribers for +he bonds that are going to make it possible for Upcle Sam to fight for democracy as it wae fought for by the founders of the republic and against autocracy as represented by the kals- er's militars- clique. One man, a quiet citizen apprecia- tive of the privileges of living in a re- public but past age for military ser- vice said Friday morning: “I am gohg to buy a thousand dollars worth of Lib- I am not weaithy, but v is evervthing to me and 11l be more to coming generations if we all do-our part. I can't fight, but Tl subscribe. It's as lttle as I can do, and in doing it T can get the best securitv in the world. My money can’t be lost.” This is the spirit that the Liberty Loan committee is seeking to engender. Killingly can do mobly in support of the government at this time. A dol- lar loaned to the government at this time will do swonders. Every $100 loan- o4 will equip a soldier, who will fight for those who stay at home, and their children and their children’s children.

There is no doubt that the great ma- jority of young men who are called upon to register will do so without demurring. There are some who do not relish the requirement that they are called upon by the goveérnment to face and possibly a few who will risk the serious consequences provided for those who fail to register as required. One case was reported here of a young man who has gone to Can- 2da, ‘and, according to the report, in- ténds to return here after day. The risk this young man fs- tak- ing is far greater, so far as conse- quences are concerned, than will be taken by 90 per cent. of those who register, for the officlals will gét him sure. Town Clerk David Flage has receiv- ed lists of young men of Putnam who must_register next Tuesday. There are 718 names in this list which is compiled from figures furnished the state in the military census taken in this town in February and . early March. Undoubtedly there are other young men in Putnam who must reg- ister in addition to those shown on the list. The names that make up the list have been selected from the Putnam returns made to the capitol and they are classified. The list shows 187 Putnam young men who have no de- pendents” and are phystcally fit for military service. Thirty who have no dependents are physically unfit. Only 16 Enemy Aliens, ‘Putnam’s list of enemy aftens, be- tween the agzes of 21 and 30 inclu- sive numbers only 16 names, subjects of the German emperor. The town's list of friendly aliens of the ages mentioned is an even 10v. It is estimated that Putnam’s quota drafted to fill this town's share of the first 500,000 troops will not ex- ceed 40 men and may be no more than 35, so the great majority who will register next Tuesday will escape military service, at least for the time being. As registration day approaches many questions relative to registering are being asked by young men. As a general rule the requirement is taken as a mighty serious proposition, but the majority are accepting the inevi- table with good grace. It was pointed out Friday that the members of Putnam’s Home Guard company who are between the azes of 21-30 must register as do others who are not attached to any military organization that has not been mus- tered into the service of the United States. Foreign-speaking young men are being informed of what will be re- quired of them as well as of young citizens and most of them will be on hand to register next Tuesday. Up to Friday afternoon Tawn Clerk David_ Flagg had received only five registration cards from yvounz men who are out of town, but claim resi- dence here. Mr. Flagg has filled out a number of cards for vounz men em- ployed here. Mr. Flags has filled out a number of cards for young men em- ployed here, but who elaim their homes elséwhere Circus on Tatem Lot There was a faint sugzestion of old time circus days in Putnam Friday when the Sig. Sautelle showed on the Tatem lot. The coming of the tented attraction was not widely heralded, and this may have had something to do with the lack of interest in the presence here of the organization, which travels overland and has one motor truck. There was a small au- dience in the afternoon and a some- what larger one at the evening show. Dr. Kent Ordered to Indiana. It .was announced here that Dr. James Kent, New York, and Mrs. J. Bryden Kent of this city, has been ordered by the war Gepart- ment to report at Fort Benjamin Har- rison, Indiana, for duties in the sur- gical corps. Mr. Kent will leave for Indiana next Tuesday. Chimney Fire. Friday morning there was a call for the fire department to extinuish a chimney fire at the Timothe Tetreault home on Cleveland street. The fire was extinguished before any consid- erable damage was done to the house. Infant’s Death, Mary Holder, age 8 months, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Petor Holder. The Woman’s Auxillary of St. Phil- ip's church is to meet with Mrs, Olin Nichols at West Thompson next Wed- nesday. Streets in the city are beinz given a spraying of oil, the work being done by the Standard Ofl ‘company. Memorial Flag. The W. R. C. will present a United States flag to St. Philip's Sunday school Sunday. The flag is given by Mra. and Mrs. Harry Otis Wright, in the name of Ruth Dorothy Wright. To Memorialize Ernest Gilmore. Memorial services for BErnest Gil- more are to be held by the Salvation Army workers here Saturday even- ing. Mr. Gilmore, whose death re- cently occurred in this city, was much interested in the army's work. Circus Paid Fee. The management of the little circus that showed here Friday rather ob- Jjected to paying the city license fee of $25, but eventually did so. Liberty Loan Mass Meeting. Rev. Charles F. Bedard will address hundreds of members of St. Mary's parish relative to Liberty Loan bonds, at a mass meeting Sunday evening. Cargill counefl, K. of C, which is growing rapidly, has another class of candidates for the third degree. Putnam's Liberty loan committee ‘will make a lively campaign for sub- scriptions next week. It is estimated that ° fully $100,000 worth of these ‘bonds ‘already have been subscribed for by Putnam people. Mrs. Abbie Child and daughter, Eli- zabéth, of Grove street, are visiting relatives in Windsor and Hazard- ville. Rifles for Home Guard: Sixty rifles for the equipment of Putnam’s Home Guard company were brought here by motor truck driven by Frank Thayer; member of the guard.
