They entrained with thirty other colored men all bound for Camp Devens. These two brothers are the only negroes sent from Berlin thus far. They were equipped this morning by the Red Cross asSo citation with the necessary articles for ser vice, and left happily on their mis- sion of duty.
 This morning Salia Chestine and stephen Sullivan left with a larger contingent bound for Fort Slocum. They also were in a happy mood and assured their friends that they would add Bills name to the list of "has- beens' They also left with the men from Bristol, Plainville, Southington and Forestville. As the train from the Plainville depot leaves so early, it is impossible for the draftees who leave this town to get the train connections which would enable them to leave the town in the morning and in sew eral instances, draftees from Berlin. have had to go to Plainvile the night before their departure in order to meet the train that is to take them to the camp. Something should be done in the way of providing g. way of transporting these men in time and giving them a chance or spending the last night before depart ure in their home town.

false CHARGES:
Ia printed circular letter signed
by B. Jackson, Chairman of Mr..

tempt is being made to create the
Impression that Congressman Zeb-
ulon Weaver voted against a bill to
increase our soldiers pay. Such
CHARGES or intimations are false and
should be condemned by all honest
Een. Mr.. Jackson is either grossly:
lorant of MIR. Weaver's record on
,aiS subject, or he has Intentionally
L:srepresented it.
THE TRUF FACTS.

1917, Congress at once began to
tate measures to raise and equip
cur army. The Selective Service Act
for this purpose was introduced
Uatil this time our saldiers were re-
ceiying only $500 per month. An
amendment to this bill was offered
Increasing rheir pay to $4,000. Mr..
Weaver voted for this increase, see
PAGE 1549 of Permanent Congress
ianal Record. The whole bill, that
is, the Selectiva Service Act, con
taining the amendment to increase
CIR soldiers pay to $4,000 was then
voted upon and upon an Aye and
Nay vote. Congressman Weaver
again voted for the $4,000 increase
0. soldiers pay. See permanent Con-
greSsional Record May 18th, 1912,
page 1896 Thus the record shows
that Congressman Weaver voted
twice, and at every opportunity Of
ftred for increasing our soldiers pay
u $4,000. The bill being now COM
p|oted in the House it went over to
tue Senate for passage there. The
Scaate amended the whole bill in
EIany particulars and sent it back
10 the House fer agreement upon
tae3e amendments. Congressman
eaver voted to disagree to these
amendments adopted in the Senate.
he House having refused to &C
cept the amendments added in the
Senate, made it necessary to refer
the bill to a conference committee
composed of members of both
houses on which committee were
f"th Democrats and Republicans,
Hon julius Kahn being the ranking
Ltpublican on the part of the House
OF representatives. 1t is the duty
{. conference committee to adjust
and reconcile differences between
the House and Senate 50 that bill

uneSs these differences are so set
l.ed, the whole Bill fails to become

louses. Under this report. and ex-
