THE GAME OF CRUSHING Up"

Despite the efforts of bureaucrats
1T Washington TO have it hushed up,
an investigation of the accident on
the steamship Mongolia. resulting in
the deaths of two nurses from a shell
prematurely exploded. has been or
dered. This is the logical consequence
OF an effort to suppress from public
knowledge an affair which has no
military Importance.
Incidentally. light is cast across
the purpose OF certain department
heads in their frantic attempt to have
enacted drastic censorship bill. If
so comparatively minor occurrence as
an accident on an armed liner can
he kept from the people, to what
lengths are the bureaucrats likely to
20 if so powerful an instrument as
discretionary censorship is placed in
their hands? In urging the inquiry
into the accident before the senate
Senator Frelinghuysen denounced
that mocking and foolish doctrine
that the people of America must be
hept in ignorance" adding:
accidents afterwards. Publication will
DO no harm. Let's stand with the
President in his demand for 'pitiless
publicity -
If shells seventeen years old
are being used by the navy it is high
time for the public to be informed
If the fact. for nothing can be 1.-THE
30 effective in remedying the situation
as a general knowledge of conditions.
IN the early part OF the war Lord
Northcliffe. the famous London. pub
lfsher. was hanged in effigy for open
~ defying the authorities of the Brit
ish empire. including Lord Kitchener,
by procclaiming in boX-car type that
the British army at the front was be-
ing sacrificed by an appalling short
age of shells. But soon the public be-
gan to realize the incalculable peril
Of such a situation and the result was
that Britain began correcting the stu
alton and today-thanks largely to
Northcliffe and the public demand
the British superiority in guns and
high explosive shells is acknowledged
even by the Germans.
Ii requires an upheaval to work a
vast change and in the nature of
things. human shortcoming being
what they are, no upheaval can come
in time of war unless there is an
overwhelming demand for it-and
that demand can come only from the
public. Except for the exposure of
England's weakness at the front the
British army today probably would
be tagging behind it's enemies in it's
capacity to take the offensive.
The impression should not be gain
ed that the press of the nation is
opposed to military censorship-pro-
perly defined and properly enforced.
The fact is that the newspapers of
this country have been praised re-
peatedly by departments at Washing
ton for refraining from printing news
of the highest interest to their readers
because of it's possible value to it's
enemy. The press would welcome a
censorship of military information
which everybody must admit to be
positively necessary in time of war

 Fortunately for the entire party the car only turned onto it's side, throw ing the occupants out into the field of oats, which made fairly soft place to land. Other motorists coming along the highway rushed to tho as- sistance of the stranded car and 1t was quickly lighted.

 c. A. Bennett of New Britain, who Is active in the campaign, gave an address to the workers last night explaining the need of money as we'll as men for the successful conduct of the war.
 Speaking of his company's contri- button, President Trumbull said to- day that it is time the people of the nation wake up to the fact that the country Is engaged in real war, the speedy winning of which must mean big sacrifices for all. They can have share of my money or my time or whatever else may have that will be of use to them." he de- clared. '"The elimination of the sub marine menace or . revolution in Germany appear to be the only con- tingencies that would cause the war to end soon," he argued, "and we must get busy"

proposes to make similar changes in the eastern and southern section.
 The Trumbull company has refused to sell the land asked for in the vii cinity of it's factory, contending that such a track would be a public nuis- ance rather than Q public necessity. and on that grounds the utilities com- mission will be asked to reject the claims of the railroad.
 J. H. Trumbull, president of the company, in discussing the matter this morning, said that if the extra track would be of any use to Plainville, he would be glad to give the railroad the land, but under the conditions he con- sidered the plans would be detrimen- tai to the towns interests. The pro- posed trackage would not in any way, he claims, facilftate~the handling of Plainville business. but would simply permit the railroad to convert the town into freight yard. It would mean that the East and East Main street crossings which are, it is said. at present blocked by switchers good part of the day, would be even worse. Then there would be an ad- ditional influx of undesirables to work at the transfer station. Plainville has
  ling transfer station truckers, and the town has paid a big price for the privilege" of having them here. It costs money to look after them and in addition 1t makes the town resem- ble the river section of city rather than residential community. "Drunks'' by the score dot the streets after the railroad pays off it's men, and the sight which the gang presents is nauseating to the townspeople.
 They claim to have had enough of 1t and when the railroad appears be- fore the utilities board to secure con- demnation of the Trumbull property, it is expected there will be a formid- able array of witnesses in opposition.
 Food Rally Tonight.
 Plainville will take it's first formal step in the conservation of food move ment tonight when the residents will gather in the Town hall to attend the first of series of food rallies. The affair will begin at S:15.
 The speakers will be Otis H. Moore, employed by the Hartford County league, and Judge Fahey of Rockville, both experts on crop production
 As the speakers will have mes- sage of interest to all, men as well as women, are invited to attend the ral- ly.
 Henry Trumbull, Plainville's repre- sentative in the league, will preside at the gathering.
 $1,OOO for Red Gross.
 Announcement was made today of the action of the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company in contribut- ing $1,000 towards Plainville's share of the fund which is being raised for the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. Army camps. An effort will be made here to raise from $4,o00 to $5,00o although the amount expected of the town is but $2,500.
