N|NOTTO SOUGHT NAVY SECRET WORK
Failed, However, to Get Into h. telGgence Service, Says Daniels

Washington, Oct, 30.-Secretary
 Daniels. has revealed that the mai,
 who was foiled in an attempt to ob-
 tain position in the Naval Intelli- gence Service, and the investigation of whose antecedents led to the arrest and internment of two German bank
 CTS in New York, was Count James Mlnotto, son-in-law of Louis F. Swift. the Chicago packer. Minotto was ar rested recently in Chicago, on the technical charge of liability to be- come public charge when he en- i tered the country in 1914.
 Count Minotto made application ! last July for a position in the Naval Intelligence Service. That was after 1 this country had entered the war against Germany. If Minotto had been employed he would have been placed in a position of responsibility where he could have gained secret military information concernng the United States.
 Secret operatives of the navy insti-
 tuted an investigation into the an tecedents of Minotto immediateiy- after he had filed his application, and It was largely as a result of this ;u- Festigatlon that the action was in- stltuted for the deportation of tho count. The inquiry also resulted in the arrest and internment of Caeorga Non ScebeclI and Fritz Kuhn on sus-
 plclon Of being dangerous alien enemies
 Although Minotto was born in Rcr- lin the investigation of his antecedents indicated that his father claimed Italian parentage, while his mothcri was German. It was found also that he formerly held d position in SoutI, America for an American banking company, but had lost that position on account of his close association With pro-German elements in South America.

l middle of the month the work from now on will have to run smoothly and without interruption. The school children were all in a happy mood this morning because there was no school. At o'clock the whistles blew announcing the fact that there would be no sessions dur ing the morning hours. In several of the neighboring towns and cities school was discontinued throughout the entire day owing to the raging ferceness of the storm.
 Assessors in Session.
 Indictment weather did not inter- fere with the activities of the asses sors who were in session during the day at the town hall. However, they were not kept very busy as the rain kept the large share. of property owners indoors.
 Fund Incomplete:
 The allotment of Plainville to the has not been completed. The towns allotment is $240. At present in the ne1ghborhood of s150 has been do- mated by the public spirited citizens of the town.
 Let it be your pride, therefore, to show all men everywhere not only what soldiers you are, but also what good men you are, keeping your selves fit and straight in everything, pure and clean. through and through"
 The above is quoted from a mes- sage written by president to the new army of young men marshalled for service under the Stars and Stripes It is a plea to those boys to keep themselves spiritually fit, and reflects all the love and tenderness of Amer ica's fatherhood and motherhood. The War Camp Community Recreation fund IS a practical means of assisting in this. most essential propaganda, and when you contribute you are putting the presidents message into deeds.
 Stanley S. Gwillim, who has been appointed chairman of the committee to raise Plainville's allotment has ap- pointed a number of aides. Any of these men are willing to accept con- tributions to the fund which will be spent in providing recreational facil- ities for the drafted men in war camp cities.

Officials Explain Why They Sub-. 7 sCribed for Bonds in New Britain
WOODS FOUND NOT GUILTY

 Death of Former Resident.

, Indignant over the criticism which has been directed against the Berlin Construction company, because the concern subscribed through the New Britain National Bank instead of local institution for the second Liberty Loan bonds, a statement was given out this morning by the officials at th.e factory. justifying their stand. The officials at the factory believe that they have greatly assisted in the success of the national campaign by taking their bonds from an outside bank instead of subscribing here. One reason for the subscribing in New Britain was because the Berlin Construction company. does not feel obligated to help any: bank Or other institution in disposing of their bonds."
 When it became known yesterday that the Construction company pur-. chased over s1o,o0b worth of bonds throhgh''a a New Britain bank much criticism was heard. It was argued that inasthuch as" the company em- ployed large number of local people and the factory is situated in Berlin the concern should have secured it's bonds through the local committee. The following statement was given out at the Construction company this morning in reply to their critics:
 "The criticism of the Berlin Con- atruction company by some people who do not know the full facts, and more especially by one prominent citizen who was indignant because the company did not take out their sub- scription for Liberty Bonds through the Berlin Savings bank perhaps car best be set aside by explaining the reason The Berlin Construction com pany took out the. bonds through the New Britain National bank.
 "In the first place it should be understood that the employees of the Berlin Construction company are residents of Middletown, New Britain Berlin, Kensington. Hartford, Crom- we'll and other adjacent towns.
 'yThe one endeavor of the employe: was not to make it a local success but a national success. Consequently when it was explained to one of the 6fficers of the company by a represen tative of the Berlin Savings bank that the bank had subscribed tt s1O,0O0 worth of Liberty Bonds, Whicf they had for sale, the Berlin Con struction company did not consider it a good patriotic move to buy thu bonds that the bank itself should re tain, but rather to buy the bonds fol the employees direct thereby helping ,.the Liberty Loan committees of thu country in general to achieve the sue cess that they were working for namely, to reach the $5,000, ,0O0,0O( mark.
 "Again it should be understood

WHEN MARRIAGE IL A FAILURE

Surely marriage is a failure when
its essential purpose. the raising of a
family of children. proves impossible.
In the childless home the married
pair. though sometimes more or less
unconscious of the fact, grow disap-
pointed and lonely. Lacking the best
tie to hold them together they are
likely to drift apart, hence many sep
arations and divorces.

prevents motherhood, would but try
