WILLIMANTIC.

ton, Conn, was brought to this city
 by an automobile salesman. Tuesday,
 and demonstrated to the local city and fire department officials. The truck is
 on it's way from the factory to New ington.
 There is quite little sentiment fla
 voring the purchase of truck simi-
 lar to the one demonstrated Tuesday, to answer small alarms instead of the
 big truck at the Bank street engine house.
 The truck is three-quarter one, carrying two 35- gallon chemical tanks, two 24-foot extension ladders, one F. foot roof ladder. and four small chem icals. It sells for $2 800. which is a
 good deal less than half what the big truck cost The cost could be further abated by mounting the equipment of the old Alert's hose wagon on the
 chassis of the truck. Should the small truck be purchased. it would be sent out on small alarms, and the saving
 would be quite deal to the city.

 Offensive is Under Way;

Paris, May 2S.-he military critics now consider that the idea that the German offensive launched yesterday between Soissons and Rheims is a di- version must be abandoned, now that the movement has developed in a great battle along a thirty mile front.
 The enemy's initial efforts, says the Temps, having unfortunately obtained for the troops of the German crown prince some notable advantages, as they succeeded in carrying the Chemin des Danes and thrusting back the Franco British contingents from the Ailette to the Aisne, the enemy com mand has at once made exery effort to exploit the success.

CITY INSTITUTIONS
ESCAPE CRITICISM
February Grand Jury Finds
No Fault With Conduct, but
Some Are Overcrowded

The February Grand Jury, which FIN.
ished It's term today and made It's final
presentment to Judge Fnletter, in Quar-
ter Sessions Court. has no fault to find
with the conduct Of the city institutions
which they visited during their term of
service. The hospitals and prisons are
in good condition, the Grand Jurors
say, so far as the buildings are con.
cerncd, but some of them are over
crowded. This Is particularly so of the
Home Of the INDECENT at the House of
Correction.
In its report the Grand Jury says that
so much Inconvenience is to be blamed
on the war that it would be unpatriotic
to criticize unfavorable conditions that
exist when the cause for their existence
IL shown TO be the war. The report
reads:
Recognizing and appreciating that
much Of the adverse conditions brought
to our attention during the February
term were the result of abnormal con-
ditons precipitated by reason Of the
war with Germany and severity Of the
weather It is the consensus NJ opinion
Of the Grand Jury that IT would be both
unvisc and unpatrlotic at this time 10
offer radical recommendations that
might directly or indirectly interfere
wish, or impede the extraordinary pre-
parations being made by the Federal
Government in the prosecution of the
struggle for worlds democracy.
"To the contrary it Is the unani-
nous feeling of the Grand Jury that
everything should he done to aid and
patriotically 10 advance these prcpara-
tlons, and that the entire community
as good citizens should with unanimity
work band IN hand with the Federal
state, county and municipal authori-
ties, and lend every effort 10 bring the
lamcntablc war to n speedy end"
