Elizabeth Bignell, 6 old, a AR aE ohaat e 10cal parochial schools was slightly injured Thyrsday afterncon on Columbia avenue, when she was struck by an automobile own- ed and driven by Nelson Daniels of this city. The automobile was badly damaged as Mr. Daniels drove his car into a telegraph pole to save the child, as she would have been killed had he struck her. The car struck the pole on the front right spring on the right hand eide of the road, smashing the wheel on this side off, folding up the fender, and racking the frame of the car to a great degree. The child re- ceived only minor lacerations on her head. o The car was one of a party of local men who were to attend the Elks’ time in Rogkville, and Thomas Doyle, who was -driving another car brought the child to the hospital. He evident- 1y thought that she was seriously in- jured, for he made the trip in “noth- ing flat,” aceording to people who saw him pass. - The child was discharged from- the hospital late in the evening. The local police are invéstigating the affair. Fourteeg hundred and thirty-nine men registered in the town of Wind- ham for the 18 to 45 selective draft, Thursday. The total for the 17es ex- emption” board, of which Willimantic is the head will not be known until Friday noon. There were two places for regis- tration in this town. At the town hall, Chief Registrar E, P. Chesebro had a force of about 50 workers, with 20 on duty at one time and they registered 1081 By this means thers was mo waiting for the men, in fact the only time a man had to wait was early in the morning, as the “register early” slogan had been impressed on all. Al- derman Willlam Webber had charge of the second district, at the American Thread Company Employment agen- cy, for the company empioyes. Men from the different departments regis- tered in groups, and the werk went oft like clockwork. In all 343 men were registered. From the eards which must be made out for the state officials, some interesting statistics are obtaina- ble about this town. Of the complete number who registerad, 1,053 were cit- izens, and 131 of the rest had taken out arst papers, Eight colored men were registered, and one Oriental. For the azes, 33 was the most pSpular, while 45, the age limit was second; 18 the minimum, came geventh. Four men registered who should have last time. For the nationalities, 59 were British subjects with first papers. and 58 had not taken out papers; most of these were Canadians. There were 70 Ttali- ans, and only 8 had taken out first papers. There were 106 men who were born in countries now fighting against the allies, 20 of which had taken out their first papers Austrian-Hungari- ans predominated with 86. Omly 7 Germans resistered and all had taken out first papers. 1f the government will call on the men from 19 to 37 about 600 men will be available from this ecity. The state estimate of the resistra- tion in this city was 1,636 so that they weer only 135 short, and if the whole distriet measures up in the same way 790 will be signed up. A report from Scotiand said that 34 had been registered, which is five mere than the estimate, while at Chaplain, 31 men were -registered which is 7 men more than were ex- pected. Complete returns will De available today at noon. Although the big celebration of the Fiks was in Rockville Thursday night, Willimantic had much of a holiday appearance for several hours Thurs- Get Rid of That Persistent Cough It you are subject to weak lungs, heed the cough as a warning.

A box that s m, 4 and Putnam districts, a_large number of Elks passed tirough here in a con- tinuous stream of autos. The local members started assem- bling__at their rooms, corner of Main and Bank streets, after 2 o'clock. They had white hats, with royal purple bands and 1311, the number of the lo- cal lodge, Cars from other places were parked in fromt of the hail, and when the Ship & Engine Company band from Groton arrived, there was a large assemblage. This band gave 2 short concert, and ther the Good- year Mill band of Puinam gave an- Gther concert, just before starting for Rockville. Wheeler's band of this eily was the last ome to give a concert, Chief Killourey and Traffic Officer Grady were kept husy directing the traffic through the crowd, but there were no accidents. That itary life is ths life, is at- tested by the result of Diwight Jor dan’s stay at Camp Upton. Jordan was rejected by the local doctors and piaced in limited service. He was sent to Camp Uptén recently, but the lo- cal exemption board received notice Thursday that he had beer accepted | for general seryice. The local exemption board received notice Thursday that the first men to be called out under the new 18 to draft are those 19 to 36 years incl sive. They will be sent questionnaires soon. The final half holiday of the Willf- mantic Clerks was held Thursday af- ternoon. It is the custom of the lo- cal merchants' assoeiation to give their clerks Thursday afternoons off for a couple of months each summer. Under the leadership of Dr. John Weldon of this city a new class in fitst aid and Red Cross work is being formed in Willimantic. The class Is open to all young ladies. Alvin Johnson, 11 years old, was taken to St. Joséph’s hospital, the first of this week to receive attention for a wound in his foot which was thought might cause lockjaw. He cut his foot en a small piece of wood several weeks ago and to all appear- ances, the wound had healed, but the first of this week the trouble com- menced and it was feared that lock- jaw would result. Early Thursday morning John N. Gilman’s lunch cart, located on Main street, near Wainut street, was en- tered and $22 stolen. The thief re- moved the screen from a window and took the money from its hiding place. Michael McCarthy died at St. Jo- seph's hospital, Thursday morning, at 6.30 from pneumonia, after an illness of only six days. He was torn in this city in 1872, the son of John and Han- nah Shea ) h cCarthy. He received his education in St. Joseph's school of this_cit; He was employed most of his life by the American Thread com- pany, and at the time of his death worked in No. 4 mill. His death was very sudden; Saturday he complain- ed of feeling bad and Sunday a phy- sician wag called in. Wednesday af- ternoon his condition was se serious that he was taken to the hospital. He is_survived by two sisters, the Misses Margaret and Julia McCarthy of 27 Center street, with whom he made his home, and a brother, Dennis McCarthy. Sergeant Wiiliam L. Knox of Com- pany L of the old National Guard, so of William Knox of South Coventr: who was wounded in France, is now in this country and expects to arrive home soon. He wrote a lotter to his father, telling of his safe arrival back in the States and savs that he he rractically recovered from _ his wounds. It is not known why he was returned to this country, but it may be to take part in the Liberty loan campaign or to be an instructor at some camp. A special city meeting will be held at the Town hall next Tuesday eve- ning at which the yoters will decide whether or not to appropriate 57,000 for use ‘in the water department.’ Of _sum, $50,000 i to be used in re. yeiring the dam. Experts have look- ed the dam over and say that the re- pairs will cost about $30,000. The dam is only 30 vears old but is now in such condition that it would not re- sist such ice as there was on the res- ervoir last year. The other $7,000 will be spent for coal, as the lower- ing of the water will make it impos- sible to run the water turbines, and si pumps will have to be used, which will take 500 tons of eoal. Major Louis I, Mason of the U. S.

Private Barbeau was cap- tured April 20, after he had fallen wounded in France. The letter that has_just been receivéd here is:dated in June, probably a short time after he was ducharied from the German hospital where he remained, recover- ing from & wound, for about six weeks. Private Barbeau is the only eastern Connecticut man who has been captured by the Germans. Just what this district may be ex- peoted to do in meeting its apportion- ment of the fourth Liberty loan just 2head is indicated by the fact that & Brooklyn woman already has placed her subscription and paid her roney for the bonds that have not yet been issued. The subscription was placed through a Danielson bank and came as.a cause for gratification to those who received it. The Danielsor dis- triet, of which Brovklyn is a part, is going to make zood on the next loan and go over the top with a Whoop— make no mistake ‘about that. There is special interest here in the announcement that there is fo be.a consolidation of the Connecticut Trust and Safe Deposit company and the Hartford Trust company, both of Hartford. Nathan Dyer Prince, vice president of the Windham County Na- tional bank of Danielson, is a _vice president of the Connecticut Trust and Safe Deposit company, and deyotes the greater part of his time to handling affairs of that institution, spending the week in Hartford. The capital stock of the Connecticut Trust and Safe Deposit company is $750,000, the capital stock of the Hart- ford Trust company $500,000. The ben- efits to be derived from the consoli- dation of the two institutions is obyi- ous, it is stated. Their combined banking resources amounts to approx- imately $17,000,000 and their combined trust funds exceed $40,000,000. The erection of a modern office building on the site of the Hartford Trust com- pany would proyide for the consoli- dated compary ample quarters in a permanent and advantageous location, It is understood that with the return of nermal building conditions after the war the consolffiated company = will erect such a building. The proposed consolidation can only be effected under authorization by the | general assembly of the state and the present agreement contemplates an application for such authority to the general assembly at its January, 1919, session. The work of registering hundreds of Killingly’s men under the amended selective service act went through ! without a hitch on Thursday. There is, every reason to believe that very few, if any, men who were obligated to_register failed to do so. The registration station in the town | hall here opened promptly at 7 a. m. and the registrars wore kept busy | handling what promptly developed into a rush to sign up. We are not,going to 1 sters beat us at this game, not by a durned site:” said one man who has | turned 4v as he faced a registrar and told him to go to it—"and when you want me 4o flght, just send for me!” That was the spirit that seemed to | animate the great majority of the new classes of registrants, and it may be | recorded here, on the word of one who has seen much of registrants since June, 1917, that ho generation of Americans, past or present, has had, or is likely to hat¥e, any more glorious or invincible desree of patriotism than the men of today are showing, and this with all honor to the men who have fought the nation’s battles since the beginning of the republic, all brave and true. Henry L. Bodo, 25 Carter street, son | of Joseph Bodo. was the first man to register nere Thursday morning. He was waiting at the town hall door when it was opened. He is but 20 vears of age and will be a Class 14 man. Men who have come from many na- tions resistered in Killingty Thur: day. It is probable that the checking up will show as many as 25 different nationalities, including subjects of all the belligerert powers, friendly and | enemy. Incidentally, the first Spaniard that has registered in this district since the beginning of the war had a carq filled out Thursday. t the young- In Killingly the rezistration was under the direction oY Town Clerk nk T.

At Dayville, Goodyear, East Killing- ly, Attawaugan and Ballouville other groups of registrars were busy during the day the men In those districts of the town and a particular effort was made to so handle the work as to interfere as little as possible with the men from manufacturing .plants engaged on war work. Total figures on/KiTlingly's registra- tien were not available Thursday night because reports had not come in from the registration stations in all of the lages, but the total figures will be known this morning. KiTlingly seems, without much doubt, to be headed for the no-license column this_vear, as the result of restrictive measures placed ahout the selling of intoxicants. With no beer to be brew- ed after Dec. 1, and, therefore, none to sell within a short period after that date; with all places selling liquor an order now in force prohibiting the delivery of hottled goods to custom- ers out of licensed places after § p. m., not to mention the skv high taxes that have been placed on distilled liquors, forcing sharp increases in re- tail prices. there is litile in the sitna- tion to encourage the liquor dealers of Killingly to make a fight for license, and they seem to have lost heart. This is not to be taken as meaning that there will not he a vote on the license question herd, but it does mean that the situation as regards those who erdinarily have been interested in license is uniaue in the annals of Kil- lingly and that only a miracle of ehance can keep the town listed cut, Some of the liguor dealers are anx- jous to eontinue in husiness and may make a hard fisht to keep Killingly a license tewn, a mevement in which they would have strong suppert, but some of the other ‘licensed dealers think they cerrectly read the hand- writing on the wall and are said to be ready to quit what has become prac- tically a profitless occupation.

Warner of the Windham county su- perier eourt has been sought by Soldat Horace Garnier, 38th infantry, French army, in order that he may be trans- ferred from the French to the Ameri- can forees now fizhting in France. Garnier is an American citizep and has a blind wife and two ckildren liv- ing in Wauregan, his former home, his jetter represents. The cireumstances surrounding his getting inio the French army are not fully ynderstood here in Putnam, but he was taken 2s a French citizen, on the ground that As a matter of fact, however, he was born in Erooklyn, Connecticut, and is, there- fore, a citizen by right of birth, Garnier does ask for discharge from military service, although under the United States Selective Service act he would be a Class 4A man and not subject to immediate call. All he wants is a transfer into the U. S forees fighting abroad and then would be able to make an allotment from his pay for the support of his wife ard children and also eould get additional aid for them from this government. A certified copy of his birth certifi- cate was sent to Framee to aid him in getting his release, hut it did not avail, so he has sent it back and ask- ed that further action in his behalf be takerm. It is probable that the at- Freeman will be called to the case. Registration day in this city opened with a rush of men anxious to comply with the government’s call for men to enroil. As soon as the Tegistration station in the superior court law li- brary was opened men began to pour in and the first hundred registrants had fulfilled their first obligation in a very short time. It was early indi- cated that the registration this time would surpass the fisures made in Putnam in June, 1917, and the mark was passed early in the afternooon. By § ‘cloek practically 900 men had reg- istered here and more came in during the evening hours. - Under the direction of Chief Reg- strar Mahlon H, Geissler the regis- tration work in this city proceeded without a hitch. The staff of regis- tratrars numberad 24, and all worked with accuracy and speed. There were times durins the day when they were Ikept very busy, but atothersa luli came and they had opportunity-for relaxa- tion and a chance to discues-‘little in- cidents that were interesting and, at times, amusing. For instance, one man vehementiy lincisted that his wife was not his nearest reiative, thousgh it was explained to him that he should name her as such under the selective ser- vice instructions. He didn’t think so, but he had to stand for it. Another man became so flustered that he en- tirely* forgot his own name for the moment and could not possibly reca it for the registrar, but it came bac to him promptly. Soms of the foreign mes with generous sprinklings of 3 x's and y's bothered some, but interpreters were on hand and of these iittie difficuities were 2's, efficient all promptly straightened out. One of the little incidents of the day that was of special interest was t* registration of Jan Kczcelk, and Ap- ton Kezcelk, twin brothers, 36 years of age. In each case the wife's name was Mary.

Late in the afternoon it beeame painfully evident to draft officials that the official estimates of those who would register in this distriet was far below the actual numper that would come in. From practically every reg- istration point in the district there came calls for more registration cards and ecertificates. In Putnam at 6 o'~ clock the supply was dewn to 10, and a call had to be made on Danielson and other points in Killingly for what- ever reserve supply was on hand there. Officjal estimates went all askew ip figuring the number of men who would register in the towns of this district, where, apparently, thers has been a heavy influx of labor for work in plants on government con- tracts. At the same hour, late in the after- noon, the Grosvenordales, Quinebaug, Ashford and Woodstock were all call- ing for more cards than the original ailotment made, and volunteers with itomobiles wers sent scnrrying out with reserves of cards that were quickly rounded up from every place in the district where they could bé It required some fancy jus- spared sling to make the cards g9 round, but e feat was. accomplished, Captain J.
