TROOP MOVES
TO BE SECRET
No More Public Informa-
ton, According to Official
Censorship Clamp.

Future arrivals OF American troops
in France or at any European port
will not be made public. Neither will
there be any announcement of plans
for the movement OF forces overseas.
This is the result OF the premature
publication. through permission by the
Committee on Public Information. OF
which George CTeel is chairman, OF
the arrival Of Pcrshng's first division
at a French port
Brig. Gen. Frank Mcintyre. army
censor, said last night:
There is little possibility of any
arrival of American forces in France
being made public hereafter. All troop
movements. of whatever kind. will
be secret"
Gen. Mcintyre has been placed in
complete charge of all Information re-
lating to military matters. Secretary
Raker has taken all such work en-
tirely out of the hands Of Crcers
civilian bureau of wise. The whole
censor ship problem is understood to
be before President Wilson for adjust
mcnt, with the promise OF an ilvcsti-
Sation by Congress OF just what
CTeel'5 committee Is doing besides
spending money to maintain a large
stan which covers much the same
ground as active newspaper men.
Gen. McIntyre's statement yester-
day means that when a man-say he
is a s"iective Conscript-lcaveS his
home 10 join the cOlors nothing more
will he known about him until he
either is killed. wounded. or returns
home. or cour-e. letters will be per-
mittcd, but no information OF what
he is doing or where he is located VIII
be permitted in such letters. When
his relatives or friends write to him
they will merely address him as Care
American Expeditionary Forces" and
the letter will be forwarded by the
government.
The move has a double design. II
will prevent Germany from knowing,
or estimating. how many men Amer
lea is sending 10 the front. The troops
will go out. be given a course of train
ing, and depart from the shores OF
the United States as silently as ghosts
in the night.
There will be no announcement that
second expedition is being prepared
for the front. or that a third expcdi-
tion is being made ready So the
Ka'ser's military agents will be un-
able to estimate how many Americans
have gone 10 Europe and how many
remain here.
Guard Plans Ready.
Official announcement was made
yesterday by Adjutant Gen. Henry P.
Mccain that the National Guardsmcn
before being accepted in the Federal
service would each have 10 undergo
a severe physical examination, such
as is employed in selecting men for
the regulars. Should a Guardsman
fail TO meet the requirements he will
be released from service.
Every ARA ngement for the trans
pOrtation of the National Guardsmen
to concentration camps is being COM
pleted. In line with these arrange
ments, Secretary Baker yesterday
stepped into a dispute which had been
raging between the Louisville and
Nashville Railway and the Western
Union Telegraph Company. Secretary
Baker warned both parties to reach
a settlement Immediately, otherwise.
he declared the telegraph line would
be taken over by the government and
operated under Federal supervision.

"Drys" Assail Prosperity.

It does not require the brain of an expert in economics to realize what a commercial blow it would be to Plain vile if the voters decided not to per- init the sale of liquor in we'll regulat- ed saloons. At present the sale of liquor is allowed in New Britain, a 20 minute ride on the trolley cars. If Plainville prohibits the sale of liquor, thousands of dollars will be lost to Plainville merchants as it is certain a large amount of trade will be trans ferred to New Britain. This would be a direct blow at the progress of the town and the prosperity Plainville is now enjoying would quickly pass away. Keep the dollars in Plainville by voting in favor of license. To vote mo" would mean the end of prosper ity. To vote "yes" means you believe in progress and the welfare of your own community, which is your well fare.-advt.

REPORTED STRIKE
 PROVES TO BE MYTH
Imagination Plays Havoc With
 Minds of Citizens,
FIVE MEN LEAVE WORK
Were Drafted and Are Taking Vaca- tion-Rev. J. w. Benton Accepts Pastorate for Another Year Platnville Boys Reach England.

It was runored about town last l night and this morning that the en- tire working force in one of the de- partments at the Trumbull Electric ME: Co. had gone on strike. Accord Ing to the reports the strikers left work yesterday afternoon the reason TOT their procedure being that they mad become dissatisfied with the wages. Furthermore it was stated that the strikers would not return un-
 til their demands had. been met.
 After the story had gone the rounds Illuminating bits had been added by several with highly imaginative minds 1t appeared as though the entire force had literally walked out and the in- dustry had shut down until further
 notice. That myths still prevail even
 in the present age was learned when one of the officials of the concern was
 asked this morning concerning the re- ported strike.
 He stated that there was absolutely nothing to it. Word came to him yesterday that five of the men in one of the departments had left their la Dor yesterday and he had gotten in partment. The foreman had apprised
 
 gone they were not striking for higher wages. Four of the men are among those who have passed the physical examinations for the National Army and will leave with the third Plain vile contingent for Camp Devens on October 3. These men wishing a short vacation before they are ushered into the service, desired to take advantage of the few days remaining before they leave for Aver and settle up their af- fairs. The reason for the fifth man leaving the employ of the company is not known.
 The positions left vacant by the de- l parture of the five men will probably
 be immediately filled. More employees | will also have to be hired when the addition which the company is con-
 structing is completed. The addition. which is now in the course of con- struction, is nearly one-third as large as the entire factory and should in- crease the output of the firm material 1y.
 Competition for employees appears to be keen between the Trumbull com- pany and the Marlin-Drake division.
 Both firms have long had out signs enlisting more workers. Tentative
 plans are in the works for new roads
 and sidewalks in front of the factories and the latter concern has in con-
 struction three additions which will triple their output and prove great boom to Plainville.
 Accepts Call.
 Rev. J. w. Denton, in response to a unanimous call by members of the parish, stated yesterday that he will accept the pastorate of the Advent Christian church for another year. Since assuming the duties of pastor

 The liquor and beer Is purchased out of town--so local business interI ests receive but slight benefit.

 Many man who spends 50 cents to $1 or $2 week on booze, would not seek It out of town, but would cut 1t out, and get something worth while.
 The grocer and merchant would get more, and the local bank would soon be holding added savings.
 Of this there can be no doubt.
