II. H. Davenport of Pomfret,
chairman of the Northern Windham
county district for the Liberty Loan,
announced this Friday morning that
the district is over the top, having
passed its quota Of 100000. 1t is
superfluous to add that the chairman
is elated, not alone that the district
has gone over, but also that II is the
first district in the state to reach the
coveted goal. Letters from many
points have been pouring in to Mr.
Davenport congratulating the dis
trict on its fine showing.
The towns In the district that have
gone over are: Thompson, Pomfret,
Eastford and Ashford. They have
gone over and with enough to spare,
to carry the district, Notwithstanding
that Putnam and Woodstock have not
reached their quotas.
In Woodstock. Chairman Riddiek
said this morning that he had not had
report from the committees since
the end of the first week when TWEEN
| ty thousand of the forty-four thou
sand had been collected.
The reports from committees will
be made tonight, and he expects that
substantial gain will be made. Mr.
Riddick is confident that Woodstock
will go over. However, it can not be
done unless people will help. The

WAR INTERFERES
WITH PLANS
Memorial Chapel In Grove St.
Will Not Be Built Until
After World Conflict Ends
Plans Ready and Work Could Have
Started At Once.

Plans are ready and the building
of a memorial chapel in Grove street
cemetery would be commenced at
once, were it not for the war and the
necessity of postponing all work of
construction that is not necessary.
The Patriot announced in Septem-
Der. 1917, that Mrs. Harriet Arnold
Tourtellotte, wife of the late Dir.
Jacob Francis Tourtellotte of Mime
apolis, had offered to build memoir
ial chapel nj the cemetery in memory
of her father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Arnold, who are buried
there The offer was accepted by
the cemetery association.
While il is Mrs. Tourtellotte's de
sire that the memorial be completed
as soon as possible, existing condi-
tions are not favorable for beginning
the work, and it has been postponed
until a more favorable time.

HEBREWS SUBSCRIBE

Raise Over $4,000 For Bonds
and $500 For Relief of
Sufferers.
Sons of Zion Elect New Officers

That the Hebrews of Putnam are a
patriotic people has been evidenced
from time to time. Last Saturday
evening at a meeting in the synagogue
to celebrate feast day call for sub
scriptions to the Liberty Loan pre-
coded the festivities and over 5000
was subscribed Since that meeting
committee has increased this
amount to about $1,000. Following
the closing of subscriptions there was
an entertainment and refreshments
were served.
Local Hebrews have already sub
scribed 5000 for war relief work and
this money will be sent TO Europe to
relieve suffering.

local Hebrew organization, officers
were elected as follows:
President, Charles Holland.
Vice-president, Morris Bantit

EPIDEMIC RETARDS
LOAN DRIVE
Committee Will Decide To-
night Whether House to
Houee Canvass Will Be
Made.
Thought Precaution Demanded That
War Relic Train Should Not Be
Stopped In Putnam.

An important meeting of the Lib
erty Loan Committee was held Mon
day evening with good attendance.
The prevailing epidemic of influenza
played an important part in the mod
cling Of plans for the rest Of the time
of the campaign. Putnam Is far be-
hind in its quota and hard work is
necessary, but there was an underly-
ing feeling that all possible should be
done to prevent the further spread of
the epidemic in Putnam. Mayor Mar
cy reported that over so new cases
had developed in two days, although
they were light ones.
The matters of having the War
Relic train stop in Putnam this FRI
day morning and of house to house
canvass, were thoroughly discussed
1t was thought that to have the train
stop here with the attendant crowd
that would gather, would be taking a
risk too great compared to the benefit
that might be derived in the bond
campaign. 1t was voted to cancel the
engagement of the train in Putnam.
The matter of house to house
canvass was also considered at length
Whether or not it would be advisable
to have canyassers enter different
homes, all homes in fact, in the city,
as heretofore, was considered in the
light of the present situation. 1t was
finally decided that this matter
Putnam patriot. [volume] (Putnam, Conn.) 1872-1962, 1918-10-11

should be left for further considera-
ton at meeting to be held this Fri
day evening.
In the meantime it is hoped that
voluntary subscriptions in encourag-
ing amounts will have come in to
swell Putnam's allotment, and that a
house to house canvass may not be
necessary; or that conditions may
have changed for the better and such
a canvass may be made with less
risk
Richard German, B. d. Bugbee,
Alexander Gilman and Asa Ross were
appointed a committee to canvass the
business section this week, and the
manufacturers will make a canvass
of their mills.
1t is a trying situation. Putnam
citizens should not wait to be solicit
ed. 1t is clearly apparent what the
workers are up against and subscrib-
ers should come forward without
waiting to be asked. 1t will help
Putnam go over the top, help the
and perhaps avoid some
possible risk that may be taken to
bring Putnam to its full allotment if
it is not raised without having to go
to the home to solicit.
There should be no let up now. The
situation on the battle front is most
favorable, but this should not be used
as a reason for not coming forward
and subscribing the full loan. The
time is a critical one and there should
be no hesitation for an instant in any
war proceedings, there surely viii not
be over there, and there should not
be over here.

MISS BORHAUER STILL DRAW
ING SALARY AS TEACHER
Lynn Council Voted 1t Be Held Up
Because She Is Enemy Alien

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Lynn Mass city council voted to
instruct the city treasurer not to pay
any more salary to Miss Caroline
Borhauer, a teacher in the Lynn
high school, because she is German
and therefore an alien enemy, she
has continued to draw her money up
to the present time and hopes to con-
tinue at least through the school
year.
There has been a question raised as
to whether the council had legal
right to pass such an order in view of
the fact that the school committee
had previously voted three to four
that Miss Borhauer be retained.
Miss Borheuer was for number OF
wears teacher of French and German
in the Putnam high school and is well
known here.
