Windham went gloriously over the top in spite of the serious disadvan- IZtages it encountered from the gener- al illness, and the crippling of the canvassing force by infiuenza. Those who have studied the local effort in previous cempaigns felt little doubt about the result of this one, and their confidence has been justifed. Wind- ham's quota was $537,000, and the to- tal subsecriptions reeorded amounted to $704,200. This amount was divid- ed as follows: $474,100 ithrough the Windham National bank; . $153,300 through the Willimantic Trust Co., and 576,800 ~=bscribed operatives through the American Thread Com- pany. Deducting 20 per cent. to give credit to the outlying towns which placed subseriptions through these banks, Willimantic can be safely the scarcity of men, it is going more and more practicable to employ girls for farin work, and the girls of the Windl Girls’ club reco and seem eager to respond to the needy Corn husking is going to prove a fa- vorite occupation, and even the lack oifmud ears will not be minded in war times.

What Policy Should Be Followed With Reference to Germany’'s Outrages | Theése are the questions to be consid- ered at the first discussion. Registrars of Killingly are to be in session Friday for the purpose of making an enrollment of voters, pre- paratory to the state election on the Tuesday in November. All schools will be in session in the town of Killingly. today for the first time since the epidéemic here 2igumed such proportions as to cause larm. The East Brooklyn school, on the West Side, also will re-open this morning. Cashier Francis E. Storer of the Windham County National bank re- mains ill at his home on North Mdin street, but it was stated on Sunday that his condition secemed more satis- factory than it had been at Other times since his illness began. Gurdon E. Withey, while hunting with Eli J. Dagenais, shot a, red fox, the first that has been exhibited here this season. Rev. and Mrs. Harold H. Barber, who left here for California, prepara- tory to taking up their work in Mexi- co, are at Greens Farms, this state, having been notified by wire to lelay their departure for the coast until the epidemic there has abated. Rev. Mr. Barber has just recovered from a slege of illness. The funeral of Eugene Hiscox, who d:ed at the Day Kimball hespital dur- ing Thursday night, was neld Sunday afternoon with services at the Con- gregational church at South Killing- , burial being in the cemetery at that place. Louis E. Kennedy was the funeral director. Many new cases of illness were re- ported as having developed in various parts of the town of Killingly during Saturday and Sunday, but there are very few of the new cases that threat- en to be serious. There were two deaths from influenza in Wauregan Sunday forenoon, however. A regular avalanche of subscriptions for the Fourth Liberty loan rairly Luried the bani 1- son Saturda; 3 nt over the top with a rush. Comment- ing on the triumphal cle I trict Chairman Charles A. said Sunday afternocon t delighted with the succe: 5 and he had the highest praise for the workers who had combined their ef- forts to make such a splendid show- ing in his d 2 1 in the district, with of one t pos xception, this town not ha mitted final figures Sur is over the top by a wide m: Plainfield has the proud distinction of baving more than dolbled its quota, its subscriptions exceeding $400,000. In addition to praise for the L loan organization in the district Chairman Tillinghast said very com- plimentary things about the patriot- ism of the people that made. with the surprisingly large subscriptions, by corporations and_banks, the great suc- cess possible. Mr. Tillinghast was without final figures from abe every town in the district Sunday afternoon, but the fig- ures already in hand shows that the subscriptions already listed far ex- ceed the distrit’s apportionment. In Killingly the final day of thei| drive w: the big day. Though final figures will not be ready until today, it is very likely that Killingly's total will not be far under $300,000. Its ap- portionment was $396,00 Some big subscriptions from cor- porations came in Saturday, and there was a flood of huyers of bonds of small denomination: Brooklyn stands in the limelight this morning as one of the Windham coun ty towns that dil more than its bit in putting the fourth liberty loan over the finish line with such vigor as raust make the Huns weep. That town is credited wiih an n 375,000 in subscriptions, Sidney W, Bard, chairman of the Men's commit- tee on Liberty loan, stated Sunday af- ternoon. Originally, in planning for the fourth loan, Brooklyn's apportion- ment was placed at $70,900, twice the amount required of that town in the third loan. Later this was reduced 1o $33,000. But Brooklyn went rig ahead, disregarding apportionments, and more than doubled ihe amount arked of them in/the last loan. In this fine success the Woman’s commit- tee, which worked untiri had big share. An unfortunate incident that occur- red here Saturday evening ruflled feelings of more than a fe well known residents of ths town of Plainfield who had organized sn au- tomobile parade and had toured to Danielson, which, they had hoped, would share in their joy over having made what is one of the finest records the eastern part of the s*ate I sub- scribing for the fourth Lib. v loan. They had raised over $100,000, and were celebrating the big achievement, and thought that Danielson, noted as a town of warm-hearted and enthusias- tic people would welcome them. Into the headquarters of the district with open arms and with resounding cheers to which they were entitied. But rothing of the kind happened. The 27 machines bearings their par- , which was lively with the joy of ctery of the drive, wer2 halted at al. most the minute the first machine swung into the business sectlon and peremptorily told by an officer to stop the noise or arrests wouil follow.. Describing, with much heat, the in- cident a little while afterward, a prominent Plainfield man said: “We could not have been more ab- ruptly ordered to be quiet had we bheen Huns celebrating a Hun vic- tory! We thoughi Dahielson would rejoice with us, but Danielson seemed to be sore. We thought we would be welcome in Danielson, the headquar- ters of the Liberty loan district and the home of ‘the district chairman, but we were, so_to speak, dashed with cold water. We were making a hur- rah about our succe: which we felt Danielson would like th share with us, but we had to go through your town like a funeral procession. We were made to feel we were not wanted.” The incident was called to the at- tention of borough officials, who ex- pressed regret over what had happen- ed and hastened to seek publicity that would indicate to the g00d people of Plainfield that what happened was without official sanction, and that the friendship of Plainfield is too valued an asset in Danielson to be ruptured over such a happening. The assur- ance was given that victory celebra- tions are surely just ahead that will make this section of the county flame with enthusiasm, and that when they a ., H Separate _ company of ' Danielson.

Corbin, of Fremont street, who has been stationed at a camp at Waco, Tex., has been trans- ferred to the motor transfer training school at Camp Johnstone, Fla. The motor transfer service was formerly a part of the quartermaster's depart- ment, but has recently been made a separate unit. The work consists in rushing all kinds of supplies and am- munition to troops at the firing line. It is necessarily dangerous and excit- ing. Friends here have just received word that Miss Emma. Suydam has arrived safely overseas. Miss Suydam was formerly head of the history depart- ment at Putnam High school. She is to do Y. M. C. A, canteen work in France. the Woman’s Relief corps will, not meet this week. Vincent McEvoy, son of D. F. X. McEvoy, Putnam, has returned to this country from Frante, where he was gassed while in action at the front last July. Since that time he has been convalescing in a base hospital behind the lines. Private McEvoy is not able New York. The republicans at their caucus a week ago nominated as one of their candidates for justice of the peace At- torney Archibald Macdonald. He is now serving as a private at Camp Devens. The directors of the Putnam public library have organizeq as follows: President, John G. Johnson, vice pres- ident, Frank X. Lucier; secretary, Eric H. Johnson; treasurer, Mahilon H. reappointed as librarian. An assistant is alsd to be obtained for her. Among the new books recently put upon the shelves at the Putnam public library is a volume of short stories for children written by Miss G¢ de C. Warner, daughter of Judge gar M. Warner, Putnam. William Wright, son of Mrs. Ed- ward G. Wright, formerly of this city, has been called into the service. He was a student at Harvard medical scheol and has now been assigned as a ‘company doctor in the S. A. T. C. at that college. Horace J. Backus, 29, brother of Representative Edward S, Backus of Thompson, who diel Thursday at his home in Andover, was a member of the 1914 session of the legislature, and at that time was seated beside his brother. Ten bushels of peach stones, prune pits and nut shells have been collect- ed in Putnam and have been forward- ed to the proper government officials. These shells and pits are reduced to charcoal and are then used in the con- truction of gas masks. The collection in Putnam was made under the di- rection of the war bureau and by the children of the public school system. Sewrad Lowe, who formerly lived on Farrows street in this city, married Miss Mary Davie last week in Dedham, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe, on their wedding trip, called on Putnam friends. There was no session of the Putnam city court on Saturday morning, a rather unusual occurrence. The influenza epidemic situation seems to be rapidly improving in Put- nam. With the exception of last week Thursday, when 46 new cases were re- ported to Health Officer Peter A. Gardner, there has been-.a daily re- duction in number of cases. This is shown by the figures given out by Mr. Gardner for the week, which are as follows: Sunday 16 cases, Monday 27, Tuesday 33, Wednesday 18, Thursday 46, Friday 23. There were seven deaths last week reported as due to the influenza or pneumonia developing from it. There were no deaths on Friday, which, with the large decrease in cases, greatly encouraged the offi- cials. It is also stated by Mr. Gardner and physicians that all cases continue to_run in much lighter form. In view of the apparent subsiding of the disease, Health Officer Gardner gave permjssion on Saturday for the opening of Putnam theatres. Theatre managers were instructed to take ev- ery precaution and to see that 'no sneezing and coughing was permitted at performances. This was strictly adhered to. It was decided by the school authori- ties not to open the public school on this Monday as was originally an- nounced. The authorities are taking all possible precautions and think it advisable to wait a few days longer before commencing classes. This clos- ing applies to all schools, rural, high and grammar. Clark college students whose homes are in Putram returned to Worcester this (Monday) morning to resume their school work, which has been suspend- ed for three weeks because of the epidemic. * Before returning to the city Kenneth C. Ballard and Byron Wilcox were inducted into the service by the locai draft board. They are to become members of - the S. A. T. C. Other members of Clark from Putnam will be inducted in Worcester on Tuesday. Putnam is proud of its record in the fourth Liberty loan. While it was an impossibility to tell the exact total of the subscriptions for this district, they are assuredly well over one-half % million. Saturday morning Local Chairman G. Harold Gilpatric stated that he did not believe that the $600,- 000 mark would be reached, but he thought that the grand total for the loan would be close to this amount. Funeral services for Albert Lambert, who died Wednesday, were held at St. Mary’s church Saturday morning. Burial was in St. Mary’s cemetery.

R. K. Haas, dated Oct. 1: Somewhere in France. I write to tell you that your son was slightiy wounded by a machine gun bullet in the hand, Sept. 15. 'His platoon, the Pioneers, were going for- ward behind an infantry company, prepared to dig the latter in during a lull in the advance, when he was wounded. He is now in American Red Cross hospital, No. 2, Paris, and_will doubtless be out before long. Your son is one of the besi of soldiers, and has one of the cleanest records of any man in the company. I am extremely sorry that he should have been one of the_unlucky ones. Nevertheless we must all be willing to take these risks as part of the day’s work in order to bring this great issue to a successful close. Yours very sincerely, R. K. HAAS. First Lieut, 308th Infantry, Com’ng Hqurs. Co. The Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the Congregational church met Friday afternoon at the home of the. president, Mrs. H. N. Wheelock. ‘Besides routine business, a sum of money that had been raised as a spe- cial fund for the purpose was devoted to the work of the coming year of the national society. A new member was received into the society, * and the reading of one of the new missionary books was begun. The big two-story Bushnell house, owned by Irving Bushnell of Norwich Town, situated in Lisbon, a little over a mile west of the borough, was burn- ed to the groung Saturday morning. There have been two or three families occupying the premises. At midnight Friday two of the Ingraham men showed up in the borough in a racing gig, looking for the fire company. They reported that their chimney was on fire. They received plenty of good ad- vice as to what to do, but the fire company was unable to go. The men drove away and the fire was thought to be burned out.. In a few hours it broke out in and the house was burned. It is not known whether it was insured, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hiscox were in Newport Sunday to see their son Earl, who is in the government radio school. A large gang of men is quartered in the Johnson house in Ldsqbon. They are establishing the big high tension eircuit line which is to extend from the_plant near the tunnel in Taftville to Boston. The wires near here cress the Johnson. Benjamin and Ross farms. Chairman H. C. Webster issued the following statement Sunday: Again the tewnspeople of Griswold have put the town over the top, and away over, in the fighting fourth Lib- erty loan, evidence that we are squarec- ly backing Uncle Sam and our boys. The total subscribers number 1,050 and the amount raised is between 5,000 and $220,000, on a quota assigned of $170,000. Saturday was a busy day from dawn until dark at the Jewett City Savings bank, where $67,500° was subscribed during the day. Of the grand total Gver $175,000 was placed through our own bank. » The generous subscriptions of our corporations amounted to one-half of the total recefved. Twenty-five per cent. of our population subscribed the balance. There are quite a number of unre- deemed pledges which it is too late now to redeem; but the suggestion is made that wherever possible any one should buy war savings stamps to the amount of his unredeemed pledge. To the woman's committee, with Mrs. E. H. Hiscox as chairman, is due great credit, as approximately $30,000 was raised in a house to house canvass. Mr. Webster publicly expressed sin- cere thanks to both the general com- | | mittee and the woman’s committee | and all others who helped the town achieve such gratifying results as at- taineq in the fighting fourth, Dancing school and social every Tuesday evening.
