PUTNAM

This city was gleefully Hilarious in it's celebration Monday of the signing of armistice terms. Though it was only a few minutes after three o'clock in the morning when the we'd came that the fighting in the world war was over it seemed that the city was. alive in jig time and the whistle and bell chor- us that has come in the last few weeks to be recognized t0 be recogniz- ed as heara!ding good tidings and the approach of the end of warfare quick ly conveyed to happy thousands the official news that the Hun had quit.
 Scores of celebrators were quickly on the streets and the celebration that then got under way lived for many, long happy hours.
 There was no work for the hun dreds of factory employees in this city during the day. In some mills they didn't even report for duty, while at others they worked just Q little while and then walked out en masse. And no one protested, either, for there was general feeling of rejoicing and
 anything went.
 The noise of the celebration grew ir volume as the daylight hours came on but there was little sleep for anyone after the first news got abroad. In the morning the children of al 1 the schools ir the city, high, graded
 and parochial, joined in one big pro-
 cession of victory.
 Upwards of 1900 of the young peo ple, the coming generation of Ameri- i cans, joined in an impressive tribute to Americas boys who have so gal lantly defended the flag lover there They did snake march through the

 \ few people tried to do business during the cay, but finally gave it up as a hopeless and thanl1less task. Even the licensed places closed their doors at noon, not because any body was getting over frisky, but because they wanted to be in harmony with the general trend of things and, anyway, there seemed to be enough pep" on tap the city over. Everybody was bubbling over with it.
 Putnam deferred its celebration un- til evening, when thousands lined the streets to watch the stirring specta- cle. Taken from. a. m. Monday un- til a. na., or thereabouts this morn ing, Putnam had brain dazing ses- sion. A grouch was not to be seen | anywhere and the celebrat ion went on as strongly in the evening hours as it had 15 hours before.
 All and all, the day was one of the greatest in Putnam's history.
 Whether or not things get back tc normal today, the attention of every citizen is directed to the need oi boosting the United Wa: Work cam paign, one of the final big things thai the people Of the district can do tc show that they are with the boys .unti the minute they arrive back in theil old home tofn to be given such a cele- l bration as that of Mondays.

committees feel that if al do their t the amount will be quickly secured.
 Though there was an unusual amount of traffic during Monday and the streets were filled with people practically al of the time, accidents of any account were few and far be- tween. Joyfulness did not give place to rcklessness and this, too, was an other fine feature of the manner in which victory was celebrated.
 A telegram received by his rela- tives in Attawaugan stated that Leon LHomme has been officially reported missing in action. It is assumed that he is a prisoner If this surmise proves to be correct his period of imprison ment will be short, for the arrnistice terms include a provision for the all most immediate release Of all allied and United States prisoners of war.

 In lengthy communication from the American Thread company in regard to the buying of their quota in the last Liberty loan, the company stated that in accordance with the request of the government they had purchased their bonds where they did their banking and regretted that it could not be added to Willimantic's quota. This communication was accepted and or dered placed on file.
 ! report made by the appropria- tions committee was for a budget of S114,100 to be recommended to the an- nual city meeting. This appropriation l is $2,000 less than the combined ap- propriations of the past year. A resolution fixing the salary of the city officials the same as last year was i passed A resolution authorizing the street committee to investigate and report on the advice of buying land for city yards which could be used for the | storage of tools, etc, was passed. | The bills were all read and ordered paid.
 Wiiimantte finished it's victory cele- hration last night with big citizens parade. Mayor Gates commissioned Frank P. Fenton marshal and author ized him to call out all the organiza- tions possible. The parade formed at : D. m. on Union street and started 1 shortly after 7.36. The line of march was up Main street to Windham street, Prospect, Jackson street and Union street, through the new village, and conntermarched up Main street, where the line was disbanded.
 The parade was led by Fire Chief
 Webster and Maurice Leonard, fol- lowed by the fire department, auto mobile section and Captain Fenton, as marshal, Wheeler's American band and a large number of local organizations
 A special feature of the parade was the big flag carried by the Knights of Columbus, which was showered with money for the united war work cam paign.

WILLMANTIC

Shortly after The Norwich Bulletin telephoncd the news to Willimantic, the blowing of whistles and the fire gong informed the city Monday morn ing that the world war was at an end. By four o'clock large numbers of peo- pie had assembled on Maiu street, and impromptu parades and numerous bon free were quickly started A more genuine spiri. of rejoicing has never been manifest in Willimantic than marked the carly morning demonstra- tions. Good-humored jokes were many. As the crowd saw an en1pioye taking out that it was intended for the kais- CT. and in a few minutes the box had been wrested from the carrier and piled on the nearest bonfire. A fea- ture connected with the day was the throwing of talcum powder When one had started it. the idea spread like wiidhre. and every box in town was requisitioned SO that the air was soon filled with powder, and every face grotesquely streaSed with it.
 Before noon. all saloons were or dered closed as it was feared that the celebration 9f some might pass the mark, and be uniting the day and the event. All the mills and stores were closed. Gnd the banks and schools also had a holiday. The enthusiasm was SO unbounded that large par' of the population were on the streets until late in the afternoon when some went home. Cstensfbly to rest unti the evenings celebration. The only nearby factory which remained 1T operation was that of the l.. M. Hart son Co.. of North Windlian.
 The churches did their part. too, 1T recognizing the day. The chimes oi St. Joseph's were the first to ring. bu inc bells Of other churches pealed a intervals during the morning. As il in response to their call, many persons went 10 St Joseph's Iand St. Mary'' churches 10 the early masses unti there were nearly as many present al at a regular Sunday service. Tn thu evening there was a well attended service of praise at the Congregations Church house.
 The first rooms to be lighted or Main street were those of the Girls club, and all day long the rooms were filled with girls who buCned red fir' or sang patriotic scngs. IS the middle Of the morning the girls took ou douFhnuts and large pots cf coffee tC members Of the State Guard, who

Passage of Water
Power Bill is
Further Delayed

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2O-Fur-
Their delay in final enactment Of the
administration water power leasing
bill was forecast Thursday by strong
objection in the senate TO sending
the bill recently passed by the house
TO conference. II was insisted that
the measure be sent TO committee
and treated as new legislation. No
action was taken and the debate Will
be resumed on saturday.
Discussing the bill Thursday. Sen.
Borah of Idaho, republican. advo-
Gated elimination of the leasing pro
vision by which power rights would
be turned over for private develop
ment, and advocated unrestricted
public ownership and operation. He
predicted that within two years the
policy Of the present administration
which now is in favor of the private
leasing system for a term of years
would be reversed in favor of public
ownership.
The house recently passed the bill
which was drawn under the super
vision Of the secretaries of war, in
terror and agriculture, as admins
tration legislation. The new bill was
passed as an amendment 10 a bill by
sen. Shields of Tennessee on the
same subject and sen. Fletcher Of
Florida asked that IL be sent 10 con
ference. This met objection because
of the possibility of occasioning un-
necessary delay.
