 1t was stated here Thursday after
 noon that there is possibility of aero-
 planes being sent into this section of the state to give flying exhibitions as an aid to enthusing people to sub- scribe for Liberty bonds.
 The matter of landing places is the only difficulty that stands in the way of making the exhibition sure thing. A representative of the Liberty loan committee of New England was through towns in this section of the county Thursday afternoon, looking for suitable places for the machines to land, these machines to be flown here from Hartford in case the arrange
 n1ents are perfected.
 Postmaster kenney of Mechanics vile said while in this city Thursday afternoon that as yet he has been un- able to find any trace of Adam Yanch, | a private whose name appeared some time ago in the official casualty lists as killed in action in France. Yanch, whoever he may have been, gave his address as Mechanicsville, Conn. No such man has any relative in Mechan- | icsville, which is only two miles out side Putnam. nor does any one in | that mill village know him.
 In investigating the matter. which l the war department desires to have l cleared up, Postmaster Kenney has tried to locate relatives of Yanch or | people that may have known him in a section of the city of Danbury sat is known as Mechanicsville. but without success. War department communica- | tions for relatives of Yanch are held
 at Mechanicsville.
 ! There were many subsc. lbers for I but the flood of buying that must come | if Putnam is to make up the heavy apportionment that has been given it | has not yet set in. Tomorrow marks the end of the period during which l there will be peaceful waiting for ] volunteer subscriptions. The house to house canvass will start next week
 and then, it is confidently expected the heaviest amount of subscriptions from the public at large will begin to
 come in. The Liberty loan station in the Union block continues to receive
 subscriptions for bonds.
 Rev. Samuel J. Rock. Rockville, whc will succeed Rev. George D. Stanley who has gone to a church at Westerly
 will preach for the first time Sunday
 as pastor at the Methodist church.
 Opinions from physicians here or Thursday was that the epidemic ol
 illness in this city is beginning to de
 clineI that conditions were improved Thursday and that even further, i'm ] provement may be looked for toda! and tomorrow Putnam has not beer
 seriously afflicted with influenza III
 ness here has been more confined tt
 grip and colds, severe enough in them
 selves to keep many at their home and in need of medical attendance.
 Friends here have learned that Johl Babbitt, formerly a resident on Rim;
 street, has been commissioned second lieutenant in the United State
 army, having successfully completes
 his course of training.
 There was a liberal response here t the Red Cross call for clothing to b forwarded for the relief of Belgian , and French refugees. Hundreds o garments were collected many of then
 in splendid condition and all servicea
 ble The chapter has packed a mum , Der of cases of the garments whic will be forwarded for prompt shipmen : overseas.
 Conditions seemed to be shaping ) themselves Thursday so as to mak t certain an early reopening of Put
 nam's theatres It was thought O , Thursday by officials here that restric : tions against people congregating car with safety, be removed during tn t coming week. ] Members of the local board are | : meet this morning to begin their wor l. i of classifying registrants of Septem I Der 12. By order of the war depart
 ment the classifcations will not |, published until after the order mum l hers have been assigned. As the mas ter sheet had not been received her . from Washington up to Thursday aft . ernoon it is not probable that tn e classifications made can be publishe :. until next week, when full list wi 3 be available for the press.
