 Price of Peace" Campaign Film Will Re on Exhibition at Congregational (yhur,b-Kent Home from France Ready for Firemen's Fair-Briefs. Plainville made it's start on the 1 Victory Loan campaign yesterday and l the chairman of the committee re- l ported this morning that the results l of the first of the two volunteer days were most satisfactory. The booths 1 in the bank, post office and Red Cross ] rooms proved more popular than the 1 committee had expected and 1t is es- l timated that over $1G,Ooo resulted from their subscriptions. The one at 1 the Red Cross rooms did the most l Business by 8 large margin and early 1 last evening the place was so filled
 that people waited on the sidewalk ] for their turn to go in and secure a 1 bond. The Victory pins proved most ] Popular and many wended their way ] to purchase a bond in order that they 1 also might wear the coveted insignia. Hood natured rivalry also was en- 1 Joyed in buying bonds. One young l f@oy Was heard to remark that she 1 "oulo purchase a large bond IT young man friend would purchase a llhe amount. The challenge was in- iheulaCelS taken up and the town added $5o0 toward it's quota thereby. Ioday IS the last volunteer day. The pooths will be open this evening l as they were last evening and every l effort will be made to have all sub l scribe who possibly can today and to- ] night. A carefully checked record ] will be kept of those subscribing vol untarily in order that they will not ] be approached in the house-to- house 1 canvass. The arrival home of A. A. Mcleod was felt imm ediately yester- ] day when he took charge of the cam ] pafgn and started things off in his ! usual businesslike manner. He is of 1 the opinion that Plainville will make l good in this campaign and does not feel that the town should think Of ] other places going over the top first ] when their quotas are not as large , proportionately as that for this town. ] The quota of over S1o0.00O is a large ! one for such a small town, but 1t is l based upon the extra good showing made by the town in former loan 1 campaigns.

 Tn the Argonne sector our artillery is shown in violent action in one of the last of the great gun duels of the war
 From the St, Mihiel sector are pie lures Of the U. s. infantry advancing over a field swept by shrapnel. Burst ing shells dot the field. while clouds of gas swirl over the scene.
 "A. battle in the air with German flyers attacking our observa- ton balloons, and American flyers in turn attacking the Germans, is pictured in a swift sequence of scenes. A German plane is shot down and falling like a twirling leaf from the sky. A terrific barrage is raised about the balloons to protect them with @ wall of bursting she'll
 And then after all this turmoil l comes scenes showing the American army of occupation in Germany, with l son of Uncle Sam as the new ] Watch on the Rhine' '
 The first part of the film covering 1 1000 feet is taken up with scenes of 1 camp life in this country, showing the l men sailing for France and lastly in 1 training camps in France before the 1 advance to the front lines The pho- 1 toeraphic work was done by the signal l corps of the U. s. army. One camera, l man was killed while taking the pic 1 ture in the front lines It is picture 1 never before shown to the public and l the people of this town should appre- l clate the efforts of the committee in l securing it before the other towns and l
