AMSTERDAM, Holland, Aug. ga
shakeup Of the most portentous char
acter has taken place in the cabinet
of Kaiser Wilhelm, and Foreign Min
lister Zimmerman has been forced to
give place to an advocate Of less ruth
less methods in the conduct Of the war
in Richard Won Kuehlmann.
The new foreign office chief is
known as a vigorous opponent OF the
submarine ruthlessness, an enemy of
the annexation faction in Germany,
and a firm believer that friendship
with England is absolutely necessary
after the war.
Deputy Lovinghoven, in the midst OF
a patriotic demonstration in the reich
stag, declared that the general econo.
mic situation of the world today was
all in favor of the Entente Allies.
This aid" decl"-ed the deputy,
has enabled our enemies to carry on
the war to the present day, and thus
our soldiers have been really cheated
of tae fruits of their victories"

@NE more day Of grace remains for
those who have not registered for
~ military service.
After tomorrow those who come
within the age limit, 81 to 81 years,
and who have not enrolled, will have
to answer to U. s. Marshal j. j.
Smiuoy. What will be done with those
whose excuses are not legitimate will
be determined by u. 8. Attorney s. c.
Huber. Imprisonment for as much as
year may be the punishment for
"slackers."
With II special deputies at work,
and with the aid of sheriffs and dep
uty sheriffs assured, Marshal Smiddy
is ready to begin the big roundup.
The marshal is taking an optimistic
view of the situation, and will give no
estimate as to the number Of slack
ers" he believes will fall into the fed
eral net.
Marshal Smiddy is eagerly awaiting
the publication of the names OF those
who have registered by the central
registration board. Since registration
day he has advised more than 70
men, who were doubtful of their cor
rect ages, to register at the sheriff q
office and let the problem of theil
ages be worked out by the board later
on. But until the list Of those en-
rolled is published, he says he vii
have no way Of checking up to find
out If the doubtful ones have cast
their lot with the rest.
Over Sunday two men employed or
steamers now in port Informed the
marshal of receipt by them Of mott
fication that they have been drafted

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FLANDERS, Aug. 6.-Powerful Ger

day met with a devastating fire from
artillery and machine guns.
The German command again en-
ployed their shock troops, but long
before they reached the wire defenses
of the British the wave Of Teutons
had been shattered, and the ground
covered with dead and wounded.
The Germans previously had had a
slight foothold, which they had OBJ.

Unsecured their attack, but the British
recovered the ground evacuated in a
strong counter attack, which proved
costly to the Teuton defenders.
German prisoners captured at St
Julien tell of terrible hardships in the
trenches owing to the violence of the
British drum fire. For three days
they were without food or water, nc
support being possible from the rear
through the continued hail of explo

SELLING CAMPAIGN
 FOR LIBERTY BONDS
Work to Bring PlainYille Sub
 scriptions Up to $8o,ooo
BIG COMMITTEE APPOINTED


 uted Over $1o,ooO to Loan-LAttle
 Girls to Give Bazar for Children's
 Home Benefit Other Items.
 Hoping to bring Plainville's total subscriptions to the Liberty Loan" up to $20.000, a special committee ap- pointed by the Plainville Trust com pany at the suggestion of Alfred l.. Aiken, governor of the Federal Re- serve bank of Boston, will meet to- night in the court room in the Town hall to make plans for creating more general interest in the financing of the war and to prevail upon local people to purchase bonds either for cash or on the installment plan.
 According to A. A. Macleod. treas- urer of the Trust company. who is serving as chairman pro tenn of the special committee. the townspeople have thus far subscribed for approx imately $1o,o00 worth of Liberty Loan" bonds. There are but thirteen days left in which to participate in the loan and without a campaign it is estimated that Plainville subscrip- tions will total $15,0o0. It is desirable that the town make a good showing in this matter and an effort will be made to arrange for the holding of $20.00O worth of the bonds by Plain vile corporations and individuals. Plans for increasing the subscrip- tions will be devised tonight and 1t Is expected some arrangement will be made whereby it will be possible to subscribe for tho bonds on the in. stallment basis. Tn many places | manufacturers have arranged to buy bonds for their employees, permitting | them to pay for them in weekly in- stallments. A plan of this character | will be suggested to the committee to- night. The Trust company has an- nounced it's willingness to cooperate to the extent that it will supply the ! money to the manufacturers without l interest other than that which will be derived from the bonds, the fac | tory owners simply having to look aft ser the detailed work of making collec- l tions from the people in their employ. The parish of the Church of Our Saviour has set 8 good example for religious institutions and fraternal so- cieties by purchasing $100 bond. This idea will probably be adopted by other organizations during the mex: two weeks.
 The men requested to affiliate them l selves with the committee are c. H. Newton, F. T. Wheeler, R. B. Ben- | nett, E. H. Hills, Henry Trumbull,

difficult question as 1t may seem at first thought. Some of us men have joined the Home Guard as a sincere attempt to prove our loyalty and our disposition to do our part. Some of our young men have enlisted in the active service of the army and navy. All honor to them! The majority can do none of these things. But every person in Berlin must think for himself and find some helpful work which may be performed for the country. The country calls us to ser vice. Let each one respond accord ing to individual capacity and oppor- tunity
 There is one service within the means of practically all. We may subscribe for a Liberty Bond. If we do our part the people of Berlin should subscribe for $75.0o0 worth of bonds. To help to this end the Berlin Savings bank offers to sell to those who apply bonds of $50 or $100 denominations on the installment plan as folyows: For $2 down and $1 a week aperson may secure $50 bond; for $4 down and $2 a week any person may secure a $100 bond. At the end of the period the bank will deliver to purchaser the bond with one coupon detached. Committees have been appointed to canvass the entire community for the sale of the bonds. It Is our patriotic duty to subscribe Under this plan all may do so. It will do more than a division of soldiers to discomfit our enemies if this great loan shall be over-sub- scribed by the people.
 And now as we conclude these Memorial Day services. let us be pur- suaded that as we serve our nation so we must serve the nations God. Christianity and sths< are most closely allied. Render unto Caesax the things that are Caesahs and urt6 God the things that are Gods fhe state will demand of us our loyal ser vice. Bdtss&he service that shall help to ptake possible the day ,of hope for Asnefaca' must be a service for prll- ciples. for truth: for freedom, for gobdness, for the family and for ~ht- manity as releaved by the God of eternal Justice and righteousness. Democracy must have some sort of authority. The people will not submit to too much superimposed authority. The day of autocracy Is doomed; kings shall grow less and less, but demo- cfacy sanctihed and made authoritA-- tive by devotion to the will Of God shall endure. It is this that shall make our beloved Auderica the Land of Promise for the generation to come after.''
