/ War Bureau Refuses Sanction for
Greene Ordered to Report at WASH
| ington-Briefs.
On next Wednesday evening at
| 7:30 o'clock in the CONGREGATIONAL
church the people of Painville will
| have the opportunity of seeing some
/ Of the most wonderful pictures that
| ever We're shown depicting conditions
| and actual scenes on the battlefront
| of France and Italy where the
| heaviest of the bombarding and
| fighting has been and still is going
en-. These pictures are being exhibit
! ed all through the State of Connec-
| ticut and are shown under the aus
pices of the State Council of De-
Tense. They are the most remark
able of any scenes that have so far
been shown anywhere in regard to
the war, being official American and
English war pictures taken under di-
rect supervision Of the governments
The local War Bureau worked hard
in its efforts to secure the pictures
The time taken up in running off the
pictures is about two hours
In connection with the showing of
the pictures the committee has Sc
cured Sergeant Pimlott of the Brit
is11 army to tell of his experiences
while doing duty in the front line
trenches Sergeant Pimlott was SER
ious1y wounded while in action and
was discharged from further mill
tary duty. There is also to be a short
address given by one of the speakers
on the staff of the State Council of
Defense. The address by Sergeant
Pimlott is one that will get right at
the heart of things, the talk being
from man who has gone over the
top and received his baptism of
fire. and then came back to civil
life to tell the story of his adven-
lures. The tickets for the affair viii
go on sale at the Red Cross rooms
on West Main street, which is next
to the II. A. James store, Saturday
afternoon from 4 o'clock until in
the evening. 1t is suggested that
those who desire to purchase the tic
kets will get them early in order to
be sure of seats. The capacity Of
the church is a, little over 500 and
only that many tickets will be for
sale.
No Sanction for Campaign.
The attention of the committee |
representing the Plainville War Blu !
reau has been brought to the waging |
Of a so-called campaign which was |
to take place in the town this week. /
AS far as the local War Bureau is
concerned in the deal it has received |
no information in regard to the pro-
posed affair and as nothing has been
said about it from headquarters it |
cannot sanction the idea. AS far as
rnittee the campaign is to be waged
il, the interests of the soldiers who
are stationed at the training camps !
throughout the country, and the
money which is raised by the cam
paigners is to be used in this way.
According to information received |
regarding those who make up the
committee they are running the cam
paign under the name OF the Mill
tary Entertainment council which
has in no way any interests in the
State Council of Defense. AS far as
has been learned there are no local
people who are to participate in the
campaign and the work is to be done
by a group of representatives sent
out by the council.
It will be 1emem bered by the
people of the town that a short time
Y. M. c. A and the K. of c. for
just such a plan as this one and this
work duplicates more or less the
work which was carried on by the
members of both sides who partici-
pated in the affair. The War Bu-
reau does not intend to refuse CO.
operation with any such campaign
that has been passed upon by head
quarters Of the State Council Of De-
Tense, but in this particular instance
it is deemed advisable not to assist
given them by the proper authori-
ties.
School Pupils Affected.
The local pupils OF the New Brit
ain High school have been affected !
by the new double session plan
which has been brought into service
because of the coal shortage. Some
of the local pupils are attending |
