If there is any man remaining in
America who is reasonable and wants
the truth, and still Germany
for her awful war work, he should
secure and carefully read the of
fetal documents recently made
public by the United States Govern
ment. These documents show that
Germany was preparing for war on
June 1914, before the Austrian as
sassination, andthat In Nov. 1914,
two years before the United States
was forced into the war, Germany
had paid money to have American
ships, factories and industrial plants
blown up by hired anarchists, ex-
couvicts and other desperate charact-
ers. This is very positive evidence
except to the man who refuses TO
believe.

An American troop ship with $500
abroad was torpedoed by a German
sub one day last week zoo miles from
land, but the conveying vessels res
cued every one Of the passengers.
The troop ships engines had gone
wrong and she slowed down. This
permitted the conveys on each side
to forge ahead before they noticed
the troopers delay. AT that moment
a sub got in Its work. The sub was
sunk by the convoy d%estroyers, the
passengers all rescued, and the ship
hauled in to the English beach. The
Allied world is pleased at this great
good fortune.

New Army Censor regulations pro-
hibit newspapers from publishing
letters saying that soldier boys have
reached France, because an expert
would quickly figure out the units in
France. These censor regulations
are peculiar to say the least. Some
apparently no~n-essential things are
prohibited, and then the newspapers
are given startling news Of what the
government is planning on doing.
S'pose it's all right, though, and hope
the big fellows know what they are
doing.

FIRST NUMBER P. H. s. COURSE
 BIG SUCCESS
Peter MaeQuecn Coming Next Tues
 day Night

An audience that filled Putnam high school hall enjoyed one of the pleasantest musical programs yet given in this city The Venetian mu- sicians made their appearance as the first number of the High school cu- tertainment course program The company was made up of a reader. a violiuist, a pianist and was led by Pietro Mordegla. a master of the pi- ano and accordian Pietro's roper toire was iueNhaustable. starting with medley of grand opera, he carried his audience through patriotic melo- dies. rag time. southern melodies. folk-songs. and all forms of musical interpretations One had but to close his eyes to hear an entire band. His reader proved delightfully."- enter taining and delivered several catchy pieces throughout the program. The audience received every number with great enthusiasm, and regretted to have the evening close They joined with the players in popular songs and finished with The Star Spangled Banner"
 Never has high school entertain ment course started with such larre sale of season tickets, or with such a splendid program The first number has proven itself to be an all-star company, and well worth the price of the season ticket alone.
 The Almaretta Singers could not appear as four of their company of five had been drafted.
 On Tuesday, November 10. the second number of the program will be presented. Dr. Peter MacQueeH will present his new WAT lecture "The Great European War" in its latest phases. Dr. MacQueen has just re- turned from Europe, where he has been preparing material for his win ter tour. There has been so large a sale of season tickets that only lim- tied number of special admission tickets can be sold, unless larger quarters can be obtained for his lee ture. Admission will be 50 cents. Many people are looking forward ts Dr. MacQueen's coming.

COAL SHORTAGE
 IN THIS STATE
Everything Possible Should Be Done to Conserve or Supply
 Will Give Out.
Fuel Administrator Sees No Way to
 Add to Supply.

There Is an imperative need for the people of Putnam to conserve coal !. George l. Padgett. chairman of the local fuel committee. received the fol- lowing self explanatory letter from Thomas W Russell. |. S fuel admin istrator for Connecticut, in reply to an inquiry if an increased tonnage i could not be allowed to Putnam:
 "In further reference to your ia vors of recent date, relative to the need of increased tonnage in Putnam. we have been unable to find way to increase your allotment except at the expense of some other community which is no more fortunate than Put nam.
 "On the basis of 10.500 gross tons or 600 net tons. it IS estimated that you will have about one and one-third tons per capita. The allotments of most of the towns and cities in Con necticut provide for about one and quarter tons per capita. Even on | the increased allotment to Gonnecti- cut it is fairly certain that the state as a whole will not receive the same , tonnage per capita IS in 1916 owing to the fact that there were large stocks on hand April lst of that year which were counted against the coal year of 1915 but actually consumed
 in the coal year of 1916.
 "As this is a general situation and one not confined to Putnam only, we must depend upon you, your dealers and your community at large to make the supply allotted to you take care of your needs by careful distribution and rigid conservation in every in stance and as far as possible, by the substitution in churches, schools, | business blocks, etc, of bituminous or buckwheat coal for the prepared sizes of anthracite ordinarily used. | The State of Connecticut will scarce l ly get through the winter without in- l convenience and possible hardship un-
 less every available supply of wood, coke and other substitutes are used in the place of coal.
 "Wherever possible, consumers of all classes should be induced to take twenty five per cent of No. I buck l wheat. This size, as you know, does not count against your allotment and ] if your dealers have none on hand they should place orders at once and | make every effort to sell some of this 1 fuel with the larger sizes"
 The above is made in face of the fact that Dr. H. A. Garfield, U. s. Fuel Administrator, issued a general statement October 26. indicating a satisfactory supply throughout the country. This statement does not ap- | ply to the situation in Connecticut, as | evidenced by the state fuel admins ] trator's letter except insofar as bi- l luminous coal is concerned, used chiefly by manufacturing plants and public utilities. The anthracite or domestic coal situation is the one | that is giving the administrator con cern.

PAY UP OR BE LOCKED UP.
 TEN DOLLARS OR 30 DAYS

Alternative sentences were 1mpos- ed on three drunks in the city court Saturday morning Towsley headed, collarless, shaveless, sober and sorry. The effervescing joy of the night be- fore had flown The lights were out and nothing remained but large heads, darke brown taste, and remorse. All started out with pockets well sup piled with money. All ended broke, or nearly so. From forty to fifty dol lars, almost enough to buy Liberty Bond, had disappeared during the day and night from the purses of each.
 Picked up helpless in the gutter or street and carried to the police sta ton. All admitted they were intoxi- cated and all wanted to get out of their trouble the easiest way The court takes the view that man who draws his pay, gets drunk and spends 1t. then comes into court and asks for sympathy, doesn't deserve 1t. The smallest pay drawn by any one of the three men was $l5 a week and board. Only one had enough in his jeans to pay cash for his slo fine. Another had enough due in the mill to keep him out of jail. The third had no money or no friends, both left him together. He drew over $40 Thurs day noon and Friday morning was fiat broke. He is now in jail. The other two are free. None of then | lived in Putnam. All came to tht city to buy something. They were full of good intentions when they ar
 rived and were likewise full of gooo intentions as to the future when the!
 departed In the interim they wer' full-but not of good intentions.

In the Princeton Theological Re view" of October appears an article of the Rev. Huizinga of Thompson on Calvanism as a political force. He argues that Calvanism is doubtless of a theological nature as it is generally considered. but that Galvanism IS just as emphatically of d political nature. The Calvanist does not rest with pious exhortation only. He wants to resnd off our own view of life and the world, based on what he reads in Gods Word.
