New Britains military census, which obtained such a promising start yesterday, has today forged ahead with amazing rapidity and With the general spirit of cooperation that is everywhere evident the entire list should be completed early next week. It has been suggested, and the gen. eral committee feels that the public will approve that during the remaining days of the census taking all factories, business houses and private dwellings make a prominent display of the American flag. Cards on which are printed the city slogan: My best ser ices for city, state and nation," will be distributed at once and the commit tee is also planning, with the generous cooperation of the moving picture theater managers to throw inspiring slides on the canvass between reels.
 The headuuarters will be open daily at a.. m and next week the office will be open evenings until Sip. m
