This news has led some to believe that they contem- plate starting a similar line of work. It will be remembered at the time of the inspection of the plant two weeks ago, the strangers replied in an evasive manner when asked whether they would manufacture ammunitions From their conver- sation listeners deduced that they are going to manufacture goods which would find ready market. Of course, munitions was the first thing to enter the minds of the townspeo- pie. It is felt by some that the promoters are still carrying on ne- gotiations for the property but are trying to keep it quiet until they are completed The latest rumor is the concern intends to turn out blank cts and clothing.
 Cider Mills Busy.
 There is much activity in the cider mills of the town since the recent storms. The winds have created havoc among the trees, especially the apple trees, and practically stripped them. The apples decay rapidly after they become bruised. and in order to save the crop from being a total loss, the owners collect them and bring them to the cider mills.

Tinker A Nonogenarian.

F. A. Tinker, one of the towns the ninetieth milestone in life's jour ney. His advent in the ranks of nonogenarians was quietly celebrated at his home on East Main street, a few intimate friends who were aware that today was the anniversary of his birth calling to extend their con- gratulations. Never given to osten- tation, MT. Tinker wanted no formal celebration of the event and he spent the day quietly.
 For many years MT. Tinker has citizens. He is held in high esteem and is beloved by his fellow-towns- men. Years ago he was one of the we'll known tavern keepers of this locality. He was landlord at the Eagle House, now the Colonial Inn, for a long time and was popular with the travelling public whose wants he served. He retired from the business a number of years ago.
 Mr. Tinker was honored by his fellow citizens on a number of oc- casions by election to many positions or ITuSL. f10 di"dyS duties conscientiously and well. He is one of the towns most ardent democrats.
 / Though quite feeble owing to his advanced age, MT. Tinker insisted on exercising his right of suffrage at the town election on Monday and he was given an auto ride to the polls.
 Assessors To Meet Soon.
 The board of assessors is making preparations for its annual session and it is expected that the first meet ing will be called for next week when notices will be issued warning the property owners to send in their lists. There will be one new face at the sessions this year. William J. Simpson taking the place of Edward A. Freeman. MT. Simpson has served on the board of relief for number of years and is familiar with the work of the assessors.
 The board anticipates a rather easy time this year. Last year the as- sessors revised the towns grand list and it is not expected that it will be necessary to make many changes this fall.

 Case Continued.
 The case against James Perrette, charged with the theft of household goods from Felix Ventura, was con-
 
 Griswold today. No trace of Ven turo's wife has ben found and as she is the most important witness it was rumored about town that the cobbler and the wife were planning to elope, when Ventura smelled rat and invoked the strong arm of the law to prevent it by having Per- rette arrested on the theft charge.
 Who Will Be on Finance Board?
 The membership of the proposed finance board is still perplexing many of the townspeople and there is much discussion pertaining to it. Several names have been mentioned but the majority of voters seem to think that Colonel Charles M. Jarvis will repre- sent the Berlin district, E. w. Mill drum, will be chosen from East Berlin and George Greene from Ken sington. r
 What Is The Proposed Industry?
 Although there is nothing new con- corning the locating of a new indus try in the old Berlin Iron Bridge plant at East Berlin, some of the townspeople still feel that it will be started. A few of them have taken the trouble to find out something about the men who are supposed to be interested in the project. From

With good cream for the dress ing there is nothing more delicious than fried tomatoes. Then they can be stuffed and baked. They can be escalloped or they can be stewed.

 Like Tennyson's brook, the drives against First Selectman William H. Gibney go on forever. Not content with organizing opposition against his recent election, the same interests have met lately and drawn up reso-
 tstions, which they will present at the town meeting Tuesday, to take away some of his other work. The office which is the exposure of their eyes, is that of prosecuting attorney. A secret meeting, similar to that in the Blue Hills district a few weeks ago, was held recently and plans were made to bring resolution before the assembly, which will prevent the Hrst selectman from holding any other position. MT. Gibneys friends are very indignant about this affair and are working hard to defeat the resolution. They say he has always proven a conscientious official nd has filled both positions with credit to himself and the town and there fore should be retained. It remains to be seen what they will accomplish but if past affairs of similar char hcter are any criterion, their oppo- Eition will only be ripple on the surface. MT. Gibney's adherents say they will turn out in force and defeat any attempt to push the resolution through. >.
 Arm Broken by Automobile.
 Joseph, the II year old son of MT. and Mrs. John Ringwood of Ken sington. had his left arm broken by an automobile about o'clock last night on Main street. According to eye witnesses, young Ringwood was riding on the rear of wagon, which was going up the street, when he jumped off and started across the road. Louis Reynal, president of the American Paper Goods company, was coming in the opposite direction Tn his automobile and stru Y, he boy before he was aware Of Jose.,h's pres ence. The boy was thrown to the ground and his arm broken. Mrs. Reynal took the youngster to Dr. R. M. Grtswold and the latter or dered him sent to the New Britain r11ts about the body were found. At Inc hospital this morning it was re- ported that he was resting comfort ably. Much sympathy was expressed about town for MT. and Mrs. Ring wood. for their seven year old son, Warren, is just recovering from a |. recent accident, when he fell off the dam near the Paper Good com pany's factory.

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

With Won Mackensen calling for
more men in Serbia, the time may
soon arrive when the Teutonic gov
ernments will have to decide whether
to curtail operations in the Balkans
or to shorten the eastern battle front
by a large retirement.
The situation in eastern Galicia and
Bukovina. too, is gradually assuming
an importance that will contribute to
enforcing grave decisions at Berlin
and Vienna. The Teutons are slowly
but surely being driven from the bor-
derland of Roumania. The losses
which the Austro-Germans are suffer-
ing in this area, are coming at time
when a special mission from Rouma-
MIA has arrived in Petrograd. There
can be no doubt but that this mission
has been charged with discussion OF
what Russia has to offer in exchange
for Roumania's participation in the
war
The problems facing German lead
ership therefore, are constantly grow
Ing more complex. A little accident
here. a sudden turn of misfortune
there and the Teutons must begin 10

they now hold can be abandoned Win
