EARLY RESIDENT
NAMES MOUNTAIN
Rev. Manasseh Cutler Among
the First to Scale Mount
Washington
Was a Distinguished Character In
Early Colonial History

In all probability, few Of the many
| people from Putnam and vicinity who
have visited the White Mountains, or
who have even gone to the top of Mt.
Washington itself, realize that one of
the first expeditions to scale that peak
and the trip that gave the mountain
the name it now bears, was headed
by Manasseh Cutler, an early resident
of what is now the town of Putnam,
and a man who played large role in
early colonial history Such is the
ease, and the fact was not overlooked
on Saturday, July fifth, when people
from all parts Of the country gathered
at Crawford Notch to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary Of the opening Of
the frs. trail to the top of Mt Wash
ington, and the 10th anniversary of
the completion Of the cog railway to
the summit
About the first ascent to the top of
the mountain was made in 1868, but
it was not until 1884 that party hav-
ing scientific attainments or purposes
reached the top This was the party
headed by Mr.. Cutler.
Concerning the Cutler family, at
least two articles have been printed
IN The Patriot. Both dealt with the
activities of Asa Cutler, grandson of
Manasseh. for it was Asa Cutler who
installed the first water system In
this town, and who also maintained
station in the underground railway
system in the house now occupied by
Dr. Marguerite Billiard.
Manasseh Cutler was even more of
a figure than his illustrious descend
ant, and his fame extended through
out the country. According to
Miss Ellen Larned, in her history of
Windham county, "Manasseh Cutler
was a man of unusual breadth and
solIdity of character, deeply interest
ed in the development of the Nation. "
He assisted in the organization of the
Ohio Company, and the famous ordi=
nance for the Government of the Ter
rltory northwest of the Ohio river
was in large part his work
Manasser Cutler while in Yale dis
tinguisned himself for diligence and
proficiency, and graduated with high
honor. He practiced law for time,
| and then was ordained into the minis
try at Ipswich, Mass, It'll.
While at Ipswich he became much
interested in scientific Investigations,
( and this interest led him to form the
party that three years later climbed
the highest point in the Presidential
range.

DIAMONDS JULY CLEARANCE
SALE

We have marked down our big
stock for our annual July clearance
sale which the buyers of Putnam and
vicinity have come to look forward to
each year Notwithstanding that mer-
chandise has gone higher and higher
we have reduced the prices on our
various lines in both our mems and
womeus departments that we might
not disappoint our customers, al
though some of the things we have
put INTO this big sale cannot be du-
plicated by US at wholesale prices as
low as we are now quoting at retail
Our big annual event started at 8 o.
clock Wednesday morning with the
usual rush. and it will continue until
Saturday evening, July &c. This gives
the shrewd buyers ten days in which
to select the merchandise they want
and to save many dollars over the
early seasons prices. Our lines are
full and complete, but the earlier
buyers get the best assortments to
choose from, so that it is worth max
ing an effort to get in as early as pos
sible. Our lines are so large and va
ried, however, that there are many
big bargains for all
Our page ad in another part of the
paper gives one an idea of what to
expect, although, of course, space
does not permit detailed price list
of everything. We can assure our
customers that everything in the
store is now being held at exceedingly
low prices, so that the best way to get
just what you want is to call person
ally and let US show you anything that
YOU REQUIRE. We do not feel that it
is necessary to urge buyers of this
section to come to the sale for Duh
July clearances are so well known
that really all we need to do is to an
nounce the date to assure rush of
trade to this store, known far and
wide as 1.-The Store Of Values. y

Animals Strong Instinct.

Some animals are remarkable. IN
deed. for the wonderful development
Of love and devotion they possess and
show toward men. They are so acute
In the sense of their affections that
they seem to perceive the feelings OF
their master in advance of his express
sions. Masters of dumb animals have
often been heard TO declare that their
animals were quicker TO detect in them
a spirit of anger than were their fell
low men.

GIRLS CLUB NOTES

A group of Girls Club members
are learning to play tennis at the
High school courts under the direc-
ton of Principal Walter Hammond.
Last Wednesday night eight girls
used the court; and as the instruction
is free and a limited number of rae
quets may be borrowed for practice,
it is hoped that additional members
may avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity Girls may practice any night,
and Mr.. Hammond is there Wednes-
day nights.
The millinery class, which was
taught by Miss Charlotte Embleton,
has completed it's course and has
some very creditable hats to show as
result if its work.
This Saturday the Putnam Girls
Club is to act as hostess to all the
clubs of the Quinebaug valley. The
outing will be held at Roseland, and
transportation from Putnam to the
lake will be at the expense of the
Putnam Girls Club The program
includes swimming and boating from
8 to 5. and then each club will give
a stunt. Judges will pronounce on
the cleverness or attractiveness of
the stunts, and make first and Second
awards. At the conclusion of the
program, the girls will eat picnic
lunch beside the lake. All Putnam
Club girls are asked to meet at the
club rooms at 3 o'clock

New Agreement
To Disarn1 Foe
Opposes Treaty Amendment,
but Suggests Invitation Be
Extended to Signers to
Enter Into Conversations

PARIS, Sept. 21.-The Chamber of
Deputies committee co the German
peace treaty was addressed by Pre-
mler Clcmanceau this morning on the
proposition Of Andre Lcfevre's reso-
luton, which seeks to bring about new
negotiations between the signatories
of the treaty with a view Of assuring
Germany's disarmament. The commit
tee had asked for the governments
opinion of the resolution.
NJ Clemenccau said he accepted the
principle of the resolution, but not the
terms IN which it was couchcd. He did
not think such Il proposition could be
admitted as an addition to the treaty,
but that if adopted. it mus, be in the
form of IN invitation to the Allies to
enter into conversations on the subject
OF Germany's disarmament
The Premier added that the treaty.
e especially Article 1863, gave the Allies
sufficient power TO prevent the manu-
facture Of war material and the con-
struction of munition works. He did
not agree that the motion should be
referred to the Chamber before the
ratification of the treaty, and made
this q question OF confidence. Follow
ing the Premier's address. the com.
mlttee adjourned its session to this
afternoon for decision.

thing to be done in the present serious
situation is for the Cabinet to resign,
thus eliminating one reason for dis
cord--oppostion to men now in power.
1t is said his intention was for the
formation of a national Cabinet, in
Guiding all the leaders Of the chief no
litical parties. which would give the
government the greatest possible power
under the circumstances.
Sc Premier Nitt, instead. considered
that the resignation Of the Cabinet
would be an admission either Of culpa-
bility or weakness, which would make
the situation worse. He added that he.
,"naturally, was ready and DESTROYS to
be relieved ofthe tremendous RESPONSE
bility IL any one would suggest a man
better fitted to cope with q terrible
crisis"
Signor Tittoni was compelled to con
fess during conversation with the
King. it is reported, that he did not see
any other politician having the states
manlike qualities and force possessed
by Signor Nitti. Thus the idea of
resignation of the Cabinet was aban-
doned, but there is no prospect as vet
of any amelioration of the gravity of
the situation, nor Is there a distant
glimmer Of solution Of the Adriatic
problem.
Million Workers on Strike
Workmcn numbering Approximately
one million are now on strike, and dis
satisfaction is growing everywhere at
the constantly increasing cost of living.
1t IS impossible for the government to
call any men to the coiors, especially
alter recently having pardoned all de
serters under the proclamation of am
nesty. Strenuous efforts are being
made by official Socialists to reach an
understanding between the workmen
ana soldiers. They are urging the lat
ter TO refuse to obey either their Off
GERS or the government. and they thus
nope to organize in Italy workmen's and
soldiers committees, which would lead
to formation of soviets and an upheaval
OF the whole social order. Nobody has
suggested remedy for this alarming
state OF affairs, but hope is expressed
that some unforeseen events may give
things turn in the right direction.
Commenting on President Wilson's
project of buffer state for Fiume
the "Giornale d'Italia" says that in
substance the plan does not vary much
from the old scheme which aimed at
sacrifices, not only at Fiume, but also
at Trieste.
