DU POINT EMPLOYEES

trance Now, II is Understood
From Men There.

Employees In the Du Pont powder
mills at Mooar are entering and
leaving the grounds now by only one
gate, according to one of the en-
p1oyes. It is believed that this ar
rangement Is made in order that the
company can keep tab on the en-
ployes and that no outsider can get
inside the barriers.
For several months there has been
persistent story going the rounds
here that the Du Points are manu-
featuring gun powder. This was
scoffed at when inquiry was made at
the office OF the plant some time ago,
but it was declared then, that the
mills we're not equipped here for that
sort Of powder manufacture.

Count Tisza Asserts
Length Of War Up to
Those Starting It

BUDAPEST (Via London), Dec. r.
Count stephen Tisza, Hungarian premier
In the House Of Magnates today discussed
the probable duration of the war. He
said the length of the conflict depended
on those who started it,
We will continue to fight until they
cease their attacks upon our security, in
dependence, and national greatness" he
said. I'VE will continue the war until
our enemies see that any further pro-
longation by them means a perfect use
less bloodshed without bringing them a
hairs breadth nearer their goal.
The events Of nearly year and a half
IN tne various arenas of the war have
given the situation definiteness. Already
our enemies can know that they cannot
accomplish the object of their attack and
that our victory will create a guarantee
for our security. but by no means involve
encroachments upon the existence of the
other great powers of Europe as their
victory over us would do.
Today any further prolongation of the
war by the means of a perfectly useless
bloodshed, while IL means for us also
the shedding OF precious blood Still IL
cannot be doubted that II means far
greater sacrifices for the losing side. for
It must bear, at least, part of the win
ners losses. Every further drop of
Fioodshed In this terrible struggle of
nations will be shed in vain and the cry
TO heaven for the responsibility there
fore must be borne by those who con-
Jured up the war from selfish motives
and lust OF conquest concealed behirsl
hypocritical phrases. and who now re-
fuse to stop It,"

Important Meeting of Taxpayers

All taxpayers of Putnam will be in terested to hear MT. Walter k. Sweet. ing in Odd Fellows hall, Friday even ing, Jan. 22, at 5 o'clock.
 That a re-valuation of the taxable property of Putnam must be had in the near future is generally conceded, but there is difference of opinion as to the proper method to pursue. Some think the work can best be done by experts. The Somers System, which Mir. Sweating represents, is combina- ton of these two methods. The work is done by the assessors with the assis- tance of a local committee of citizens, who, in turn, are advised by an ex- pert in such matters.
 MT. 5weeting will have large maT of Putnam and will show directly and in detail, how the Somers System can be applied to Putnam.
 The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Business Mems Asss. citation, and it is hoped that every tax payer will be present to see If this system is the proper one for Putnam.

Catholic Band Benefit
Over 1000 People Applaud Entertainment

Every seat in the Empire theatre was taken and several nandred stood up daring performance Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Putnam Catholic band. And if every one ot the large crowd did not get their moneys worth they must be indeed hard to please.
 The band paraded the street before the performance. There were some fine reels of pictures shown and the band gave several selections led by Ali vine Bonneville which were warmly received. Philip Salyas pleased with vocal solo.
 The hit of the evening was skit, nForty minutes late,n with Duffy Jar yis and Gagne as entertainers. The act tasted nearly half an -four and tfe audience didn't get enough then Duly had a rube part, Jarvis was the colofed station porter and Gagne ss the man. ager of an imaginary minstrel troupe held a rehearsal at the station while waiting for the train. This furnished the opportunity for the action. Duly was never seen to better advantage and held a conversation with Gagne, who acted as impromptu interiocutor, in which some endman jokes were sprung after which the inimitabe Michael sung song that took with the crowd. When he finished Jarvis jumped into the limelight and demon strated professional ability as real minstrel man. He's got laugh that's contagious, an accent that's the real thing and mannerism that keeps the corner of one's mouth drawn up. His | imitation of brass band was new stunt to many and hit the right spot
 His work was received with prolonged applause. Gagne handled the raiddi' part for the fun-nakers in cleye
 manner. The skit is a good one ans
 would furnish a good fifteen minutes entertainment for the professions stage with bit of pruning.

The Putnam Trade School

When asked to speak on the Putnam State Trade school, E. C. Morse, secre- tary of the Putnam Business Men's as- sociation, stated some facts that are Of vital interest to every citizen Of Put. nam. He said that il had come to the attention of the association that bill was to be introduced i'll the General Assembly, emanating from New Brit ain, withdrawing State aid from the trade schools. He stated that the Put. nam school had not progressed rapidly the first year. This, in his opinion, and in the opinion of others, was due to the fact that the school started with a textile department only. In city where the business was largely textile this did not appeal to the young peo- pie who would naturally attend the school. Since mechanical, electrical and carpenter shop department had been installed the number of pupils had increased and the school has been making steady and rapid advance ment. He urged every one lpresent who might have any influence either with the governor, any state official, senators, or representatives, 10 lend that influence to defeating such measure if it should be introduced in the legislature of the state.
 The remarks of Principal F. D. | Hitchcock of the New London Manu al Training School which followed were extremely gratifying to Putnam citi' ] zens present. He said that since he arrived In Putnam he had paid WISH to the State Trade School. il had come to his ears in New London thai l the Putnam school was not pfogf1s' sing and did not amount 10 much

What he saw did mot substantiate these rumors. He found most thriv- ing institution doing excellent work and showing good results in the ma chine shop. He eomplimented high ly the electrical department and the instructor there, saying that the in. stFuetion was along the right lines. The carpenter shop was also eomplimented. He was not conversant with the tex tile work and 1t appeared that possibly this department was not up to the others. He said that apparently every thlng was going successfully and stat ed that if Putnam could get com mittee from the legislature to come hefe and inspect the school there would be no danger of losing state support. His remarks were greeted with enthusiastic applause. He then outlined the work at the manual train ing school of which he is the head
 D. A. Lyman, secretary of butld- ing and loan association in Milliman- tic, then spoke on that subject and was listened to with interest.
 Louis M. Grandall, of the Norwich Business College, who, by the way, was a former Putnam boy, gave an ex- cellent talk on salesmanship and the methods of selling He showed a minute knowledge of his subject and his statements and illustrations were followed with close interest and his re- marks were enthusiastically applaud ed.
 1t was after o'clock when the meeting WAS adjourned. The meeting was considered a most interesting and profitable one in that preliminary steps had been taken 10 the formation of county league .that will mean a great deal to Windham county's finan- cial and business advancement.
