In the light of all the facts about the status of world politics todayj the celebra- tion of the humbling of arrogant Ger- many may be regarded as only a dress rehearsal, for peace with all itg bless- ings is not yet in hand; but anybody who was in this town during the seven hours referred to will testify to the magnificence of abandon, the superiority of the quality and quan- tity of the noise and the powers of long sustained endurance of thosé in Killingly who left their little beds and came out by the hundreds to yell their satisfaction and otherwise tu- multuously express their satisfaction over the fact that Kaiser Bill has come across and practically agreed he has had a licking, and does not want the real kick in the tail that 1s com- ing to him if he does not quit right now. There have been some mighty noisy celebrations in Danielson in the past 25 years, but from now on they will take theit place amohg once consid- ered great. The Sunday morning rack~ et overtopped them all, both as to rumbers engaged in ripping the lid off the old town and for the period in which they were so engaged. The jollification started at midnight and grew in volume and intensity hour by hour, untjl at 4 a. m. there were celébrators here from every town within ten miles and a traffic jam had blécked the streets in the business section, ablaze with red fire, so that a man shrunk to the size that a Ger- man would wish to shrink to were he rresent could not squeeze his way through with a shoehorn. It was some night! Church and school bells, factory sirens and eveh the fire alarm joined in a mighty chorus of noise that must eventually be heard in Berlin. Women and chii- the score joined with men vs in putiing over the celebra- tion—and there was no one with the siightest inclination to slow anybedy ups “Go as far as you like” seemed to be the slozan, and evervbody went. And even then there were no indiscre- tions, this being one of the flnest things about the whole affair, which was entirely spontaneous, developing upon the receipt here of press des- patches telling that Germany had ex- pressed a willingness to accept Wil- son’s peace terms. v As the night wofe on, Dayville, FElmville, Goodyear and East Killing- ly joined in the uproar seething over the town. In these mill villages of Killingly factory whistles screeched out the tidings that brought hundreds from their beds in the wee sma hours. Here and elsewhere in Killingly it was practically impossible to sleep so sreat was the noise, and after several hours of trying to slumber most peo-’ ple gave up the task as too hard a job and, dressing, came out to con- tribute their bit. Drums, horns and tin pans appeared by the dozen after hastily made raids and the din finally became so great as to be deafening. Scores of auto horns were rattiing off their part of the great noise produc- tion and horms were tootmg every- where. One of the fine features of the last hours of the celebration was the ap- pearance here of the Goodyear band. They seranaded the borough just be- fore daylight, and made everyone wish that they had come hours sooner. As celebrators Killingly people cer- tainly leaped right into the middle of the hall of fame with this affair, mak- ing it in one jump, and they are pre- pared to do again, and as thoroughly, the sameé stunt being possible every time the wires say that the Huns are nearer their doom. After the celebration, it seems like utting a fly in the ointment to call ttention to the fact that Killingly has not vet raised its Liberty loan ap- portio; t, and that it is one of the very few towns in eastern Windham county who have so failed, but this is the truth and it must be faced and faced this week—with the dollars that will give the town‘s people the moral right to say to the boys “over there” —"we are with you until our last pen- ny’s gone!” Killingly must go over the top this week. This means that many more bonds must be bought. The war isn’t over and even if it were, Chairman Charles A. Tillinghast of the aistrict committee pointed out Sunday after- noon, billons will be required by the government before the awmy can be demobilized and it is not at all sure that there will not be a fifti Liberty loan and possibly a sixth. % Chairman T, Storer of the Kil- lingly committee is vruing heavy hond binurg - cor.

I, Adams, Wilkinson street, is il The Putnam Liberty loan committee held a meeting in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Friday evening, at which time it was voted not to hold a house to house canvass in this city. It was discussed at length whether or not it would, in view of the prevailing epidemic, be advisable to enter all homes in the city, as has been done inh previous campaigns. 1In deciding not to have the canvass the committee put upon the citizens of Putnam the re- sponsibility for the succes of the loan drive here in Putnam. If people will voluntarily come forward and place their subscriptions at the banks or at the women’s booth, Putnam will go over the top. If not, Putnam will fall behind. Putnam never has failed in a loan campaign, and the committee are confident that it will not fail now. Because there is to be no house to house canvass, the committee has de- cided to again open the subscription booth in the old Tucker store, Union block. Here from 4 until 6 each after- noon subscriptions may be placed, and next Saturday, the final day of the drive, the booth will remain open all day. At the meeting Friday it was an- nounced that Putnam district subscrip- tions now amount to $374,000. The quota for the district is $387,000. Mrs. 1da Kennedy has received word that her son, Norman L. Kennedy, is ill with pneumonia in a southern camp. Because of the order prohibiting all but absolutely necessary construction, work of erecting the memorial chapel in Grove street cemetery cannot begin until after the war. Mrs. Harriett Ar- nold Tourtellotte, wife of the late Dr. Jacob F. Tourtellotte, has offered -to build this chapel in memory of her father and mother, who are buried in Grove street. Her offer was accepted by the cemetery association and plans have been completed for the construc- tion, which, however, must now be postponed ungil a later date. Members of the Putnam Country club were guests Saturday afternoon of the Woodstock Golf club. Mrs. Ernest C. Morse, chairman of the women's Liberty loan committee of Putnam, has received from Mrs. M. G. Bulkeley, state chairman, a tele- gram announcing that the aeroplanes that were to have come to Putnam Tuesday will not come until Thursday. Already there is much interest in thi: feature of the loan campaign. Putnam citizens have never had the oppor- tunity to get a close view of airplanes anq the visit of the two birdmen to this vicinity of Windham county is being eagerly awaited. Residents of Pomfret will be able to see the two ships as they pass over that town. In their bights the aviators will drop hundreds of aerograms urging people to subscribe to the loan and explain- ing why it is necessary that this loan should be heavily oversubscribed, The only Protestant church to hold serwices in this city Sunday was the Baptist church. All others were closed on account of the epidemic. Health officials and physicians began to feel absolutely certain Saturday that the worst of the influenza epidemic in Putnam is over. Thursday Health Of- ficer Peter A. Gardner had 39 cases reporteq to him. TFriday there were only 14, and of this number only one case was considered serious. Physi- cians report that cases of the disease are now much less severe and that there are fewer calls. It has not vet been decided when theatres and schools will open, but if the situation continues to improve as rapidly in the next few days as it has done in the last three, permission will probably. be given to open by the middle of this week. - T“ayelte L.
