Washington. July 22-Two German military prisoners who were brought to New York on the trans port Agamemnon for protection by the United States Government in re- turn for extremely valuable military information which they furnished to the American Expeditionary Forces in France, will probably be brought to Washington tomorrow and turned over to General Marlborough Churchill, Director of Military Intelh- gence.
 Accompanying the prisoners are papers from the Military Intelligence Division of General Pershing's army in France giving General Churchill. to whom the Germans have been "consigned,'' full particulars as to the character of the information they furnished to the American military authorities. and telling in detail why they are being brought to this coun try. General Dennis Nolan, who was General Pershing's chief Military In-~ telligence officer. and who has just arrived in this country on the trans port Aquitania, had charge of the case Of these prisoners and the plans for bringing them to this country for their protection.

tingencies for which insurance can not be purchased.
 Members of the Acco Employees society will pay an initiation fee of s1 and dues of so cents a month. The entire difference between this income and the expenses of the society is to be met by the American Chain Co. The affairs of the society are to be administered entirely by it's members and they arc to judge the merits of every case or claim coming up for action. The company Is represented through tho secreta ry-rrea surer of the society, but the members, through the Board of Managers, determine not only the time, form and amount of all payments under the regular cases provided for in the rules but also have the authority to recommend special payments for extraordinary occasions; or exceptions to the estab- lished rules.
 While ono, or more of the benefits worked out in the Acco plan have been tried in various American in dustrial institutions, so far as is known, the present undertaking is more complete than any that has gone before il. Officials of the com pany have been at work on the plan for many months, during which time they have advised with insurance ac- tuaries, health and welfare workers, administrators of fraternal and group insurance plans, and have consulted all available sources that would dis close the best American practice and experience.
 The result of these Investigations

NEWT0WN
Especial to The Times. ]

Newtown, July 22-It has been es- timated by a member of the State Board of Education representative that from s5,000 to s7,00O will be re- quired to make the High school building passab1e. As expected a large amount would be named since the defeat of the proposed new High school as testimonial to the sol diers and sailors. Since the town meeting nothing has been heard of a testimonial and now the agitati ton is on for a High school, partly to be subscribed, partly raised by taxation. The adjourned town meeting will likely be called soon to authorize the committee on repairs, etc., to ex- pend enough funds and likely another representative meeting will vote 1t down, or possibly approve in which case, some idea will be requested of the actual amount spent on the pres ent building during thel ast 5 years or since it was turned into a High school Certainly many thousands more than smaller building could be erected for even today.

We had originally pledged ourselves to

to feed the liberated nations, we will
have to export total of not less than
