reply to his letter was not one such

Mayor Marcy said further that he
had at the moment in his pocket an
other letter which he was about ia
mail in the hope that the matter
would be adjusted and that il the fu-
ture did not bring forth reply more
satisfactory he might decide to make
the whole series Of correspondence
public, but that he was not ready to
do so at the time.
Mayor Marcy took the matter up ON
account of the complaints received
from citizens, and feels that soma
explanation is due from the depart
ment, and says that he is going for
ward with the matter until proper
recognition Of his communication il
Forthcoming.
Mayor Marcy appeared perturbed
over the way his communication had
been received, and his attitude is that
the matter will not be allowed to drop
in its present status.

CHAUTAUQUA
IS TO RETURN
Contract Has Been Signed,
Which Means Seven Joyous
Days for 1920
Officers Elected, and Mrs. w. J. Bart
lett Chosen President

Ckautauqua will return next sum-
mer. There will be seven joyous
days for Putnam people in 1920. This
fact was made certain last Tuesday
evening after the entertainment in
the big tent on the High school lot,
when at a meeting of the guarantors
the contract was signed, and officers
for the coming season elected.
The officers that have served this
year were all reelected
President, Dorothy Jones Bartlett.
Vice Presidents, Allie w. Marcy
and Robert Sands.
Treasurer, Newton A. Ballard.
Secretary, Howard C. Bradford.
The 1919 Chautauqua has been
one of the most successful that has
ever been enjoyed in this city. The
programs have been well selected and
consequently the attendance has been
large. Six of the Seven Joyous Days
have gone, and during them there has
been a veritable wealth of good mu-
sic, fest of fun, and fund of infor-
nation acquired that will give oppor-
tunity for much careful thinking.
Financially, too, the year has been a
success. for there is no deficit for the
guarantors to make up.
MA1ta II ,,oi1fnn for
years a Chautauqua worker, has been
the platform superintendent in Put
nam this year. Her attractive person
atty has won her many friends, and
her lectures upon the ''Poets of De-
mocracy" have been thoroughly en-
joyed.
A number of exceptionally brilliant
speakers have been heard on the
Chautauqua platform this past week
DIR. Carolyn Geisel, ID. Thomas Cur
tin, DR.. Jesse Holmes, Sergt. Ruth
Farnum, and George Lawrence Par
ker each had an address of interest
Mr.. Curtin, who was writer for the
London Times, did secret service
work in Germany during the war, and
his narrative, delivered in the first
person, was one of the feature talks
of the program.
The musical numbers have also
been of high order, and the audi
ences have been thoroughly appreci-
alive.
The Chautauqua will close with the
program this Friday evening. AT this
time the boys and girls of the Junior
Chautauqua will present an all Amer
lean playlet, "The Wop." Pama-
hasika's Pets will also give an enter
tainment. Mr.. Pamahasika is an ami
NAL trainer of many years expert
ence, and his pets give an exhibition
that shows what the humane and care
full training of animals can accomp-
lish

Lecturer Curtin Called to London;
May Testify Against Former Kaiser

German foreign Office; and the Ger
man imperial chancellor, Bethmann-
Hollwig. For Austria there were
present Archduke Frederick, Conrad
Won Hoetzendorff, the Austria Hun
gary military director; Count Tisza,
premier of Hungary; and Count Blu
rian, the foreign minister of Austria
Hungary.
This conference talked the matter
over at considerable length and deter
mined upon an ultimatum to Serbia,
and war
1.-The Kaiser then took his hurried
trip to Norway, a trip conceived al
most certainly as a blind, for the
German foreign Office made use of
this trip as one of the seooked-up' ar
guments to the German people of
Germany's official innocence in caus-
ing the war. Although known to
German Reichstag members on the
inside during the course of the war,
the fact of this secret conference has
remained obscure to the majority of
the German people"
Mr. Curtin's articles, descriptive of
conditions in Germany that he wit
messed during 1916, made a great stir
at the time of their appearance. 1t
was he, with associates representing
the Northeliffe press, who brought to
light the so-called Potsdam confer
ence, referred to in Lord Northcliffe's
letter, which made it clear to the
world that Germany was preparing
for war while the rest of the world
was absolutely ignorant of the I'M
pending catastrophe. This confer
ence placed the blame for the war di-
rectly upon the Imperial government.
Mr.. Curtin is the author of The
Land of the Deeping Shadows" de
is a graduate of Harvard, and was
formerly teacher in Greater Boston.

expected that there will be some fall
ing off in business, but everything is
being done to make it easy for shop
pers up and down the line to reach
here.
AT the power stations of the road
at Thamesville, Mystic, Danielson and
other places, men were on duty and
kept the stations running for furnish
ing power for light. etc. Nothing de-
veloped Thursday aside from issuing
further statements by each side.
The men are striking to gain their
demands for new wage schedule to
take the place of that in force for the
last year up to June LIST. The new
wages asked are s4.25 for an s-hour
day for the last three months Of en-
ployment, $3.50 for the balance Of
the first year, and SIS per day after
one year. The old scale was SO cents
per hour for the first 60 days, 81 1-2
cents for the balance of the first year,
80 l-2 cents for the second year.
40 LIZ cents for the third year. and
Al liz cents thereafter.
Conditions under which the strike
is being carried on make it a novel
one in the history of difficulties over
wages between employers and en-
ployed. Financial reasons alone are
given as the reason why the company
cannot grant the demands of the troll
leymen and no claim is made that
their demands are considered exorbi-
tant or unjust.
Possibilities of trouble during the
conduct of the strike seem to be pre-
cluded by the company's announce
ment that it will shut down the road
and not attempt to operate cars.
Both sides seem determined to sit
down and wait 1t out to see which can
stand it the longest.

Crashed Into a Tree

AS the result of an automobile car
rying seven passengers crashing into
tree at Danielson, on the Brooklyn
side, Monday afternoon, four people
were brought to the Day Kimball
hospital to have their injuries treat
ed. The car was driven by Joseph
Natorski, public service operator Of

about the face. The drivers wife,
Mrs. Albert Tanlose and Callet Ma
tolk were the others injured. None
were critically injured, the wounds
being cuts, bruises and shock.

HAMILTON HOLT
TO SPEAK
Will Give Personal Experience
es As Representative At
Paris of League to Enforce
Peace.
Proceeds For Benefit of Day Kimball
Hospital Extension Fund

People of this section have an un-
usual opportunity to listen to man
who was on the spot in Paris during
the peace conference, Hon. Hamilton
Holt of New York and Woodstock,
who will tell his personal experience
at Academy hall, Woodstock, Satur-
day evening, July 26th, at O'clock
The admission to the address is but
twenty-five cents, with few choice
seats at fifty cents. The address will
be interesting, as Mr.. Holt is good
speaker, as is well known by the many
people who have listened to him sew
eral times in Putnam and in Wood
stock. The proceeds from the affair
will be for the benefit of the Day
Kimball hospital extension fund.
Mr.. Hollis subject will be, 1.-THE
work at the peace conference and the
plan of the league of nations" Mr..
Holt was in Paris during January and
February, and will speak from per-
sonal experience of the work done
there. At the close of the address
those in the audience will be afforded
the opportunity to make inquiries in
regard to the subject of his talk.
While the address itself is one that
will be interesting, instructive and
one that will appeal to those seeking
authentic information, when it is con-
sidered also in the light of the object
for which it is given, it will have a
two fold incentive for every one who
can to be present.
The plan to increase the space at
the hospital by erecting an extension
or addition is well known, and it is
also well known that to meet the in
creased demands upon the institution
such an extension is imperative. Ev-
cry person in eastern Windham coun-
ty has an interest in the hospital, and
when such an opportunity as the
above is afforded Academy hall should
be filled Co the doors.

D. Thomas Curtin, of Roslindale,
Mass, a writer for the London Times,
who addressed an audience that COM
pletely filed the Putnam Chautauqua
tent on Wednesday night, is about to
go to England in connection with the
proposed trial of the Kaiser and other
high German officials who are accused
by the Allied governments of being
responsible for the war. Mr.. Curtin
made this fact public to Boston
newspaper men on the same day as
his appearance in this city.
In letter received by Mr.. Curtin,
Lord Northcliffe, owner of the Times,
and the most powerful publisher in
England, says that these trials will be
one of history's greatest sensations,
and he wants Mr.. Curtin to be pres
ent. He asks him to so arrange his
appointments that he can go to Lon
don at the right time. 1.-THE work of
my newspapers in revealing the TACT
of the Potsdam conference of July /,
/ consider the greatest single scoop of
the war;" declares Lord Northcliffe
in this letter. "The Importance of the
revelations will only begin to be I'M
derstood at the trial. Your work in
this matter and your knowledge of in
side Germany will be of the utmost
value to me-"
Mr.. Curtin summarized the events
preceding the war in their brief
chronological order as follows: 1.-The
murder of the Archduke occurred on
June %, 1914 Seven days later, on
July 5, 1914, the Potsdam conference
took place. At this conference there
were present the Kaiser, Gen. Won
Falkenhayn, German minister of war !;
Admiral Won Tirpitz. German minister
of the marine; Won Stumm, director
of the political department of the

The trolley strike threatening for
some weeks has come TO pass. The
employees quit work at midnight Tues
day and since then not a car has run.
1t is complete tieup and will con-
tinue FOR some time. from the present
outlook. The company says it has
been losing money for some time and
can not afford to pay more money de-
manded by the men. The men say
that had the trolley company lived up
to an agreement to arbitrate made a
year or more ago, there would have
been no strike and the public would
not have been disconnected. The
company is not attempting to run any
cars.
The whole of eastern Connecticut
is in the strike zone and in all of the
cities and towns efforts are being
made to transport people by automo-
bile busses. The merchants COM
mittee of the Putnam Chamber of
Commerce was early in meeting to
devise plans for transporting passen-
gers to Putnam. The strike does not
effect the line from Webster TO West
Thompson, and a bus line was put in
commission Wednesday, and Thurs
day large motor bus was making
trips on the regular trolley schedule.
The fare to West Thompson is ten
cents and to Mechanicsville seven
cents.
An automobile garage man of Dan-
ielson is making trips to Putnam to
meet all trains that can not be con-

He takes passengers to Dayville and

been made to have him carry people
to the Putnam Country Club.

STOLE UNIFORM
FROM MARINE
Edward Peter Loveley Bound
Over to Superior Court

Edward Loveley, who says he is
known as ."Pete," was arrested IN
Worcester and brought back to Put
nam charged with the larceny of a
marine uniform from George Wize of
Main street. Loveley appeared in the
city court this Friday morning wear
ing the uniform and pleaded guilty to
stealing it.
Wize complained to the police that
the uniform and the rest of his outfit
disappeared from his room about
July 7th and he was suspicious that
Loveley, who took his meals there,
was the man who stole it. Captain
Bulger learned that Loveley had been
seen wearing a uniform and he not
flied police departments to be on the
lookout for the man.
Wednesday the captain received a
telephone call from Worcester that a
man who gave the name of Lemore
had appeared at police headquarters
wearing a uniform and asking for as
sistance. and claiming to be an over
seas man. Lemore told the Worces-
ter police he had sister named
Montpelier in Putnam. After the
man had been described to Captain
Bulger he told the Worcester police
to ask him if his name wasn't Love
ley. The man replied that that was
for them to find out.
Wize testified that he was in the
service 81 months and came to Put
nam from New London about July 4,
and he identified the uniform Loveiey
was wearing as his.
Prosecuting Attorney johnson said
that the theft of uniform was
contemplate" act, especially where
one tried to arccsa sympathy and get
assistance by ~-aring it. Loveiey
denied he had de-. this.
Loveley was boand over to the su-
perior court and being unable to FUR
nish a bond of $500 was sent to jail.
He has been before the city court sew
eral times and the last time was sent
to Jail for a year for making trouble

legged that the car travelled from CO.
lumbia to Willimantic at speed vary
ing from 40 to so miles an hour.
Meehan failed to appear at the ses-
sion Of the court Monday morning
and the $50 bond was declared for
feited. He arrived in Willimantic
about 1890 and called at police head
quarters. The police court officials
were communicated with and it was
agreed that he should pay fine and
costs and that the balance Of the $50
should be returned to Mr.. Goss.
