July 23 he sailed from New York for France via Halifax and England. It is needless to say that he arrived safely although it ‘ap- pearéd in the columns of the press hat the boat on which he sailed had without warning and the lives of those aboard lost. Buell received his education at the local schools, graduating from both ing a law student at Syracuse uni- probably bears the distinction of be- ing the only New RBritain boy in Lon- don when ‘““American Day” was held in honor aof the arrival of American troops. The letter follows: .“Dear Father and Mother:— “I am going to answer the letter T briefly and then lie down again. I was rolling all night. were all very bussy I got one hour's leep and that was on a stretcher in n ambulance. As I was going up to the post I ran into a wave of gas and before I could get my mask on my eves were running. I was sneezing and getting ready to “shoot my lunch.” I didn't get gassed much though. There were a number of fellows gassed and with gas blesses we have to go like the devil to get them to the hospital. At the post we give them a little balloon of oxy- { gen and then rush like the dickens over shell holes and everything to th2 hospital. It is very hard to see with a mask on as the eyes steam up. Also it is difficult to breathe. ‘We have to breathe through a chem- ical and layers of gauze. It smells fine, the chemical, almost as bad as the gas. “There are two common kinds of, gas, mustard gas and pineapple gas, called that because they smell like mustard and pineapple. The mustard is the easiest to detect. L ran into mustard gas the first time last night. The pineapple gas just smells faint- ly sweet. It consequently gets more men than the former. After going through the mustard gas I ran into the pineapple gas. I had my mask on by that time so it was all right. There is a third kind that strangles and also eats away the skin wherever there is a perspiration. We have not encountered any of this kind on this front. The men take off all their clothes and don’t work so as to keep cool. It only effects them in the spots where one perspires. The men even hold their arms up so that the arm pits will become cool. ‘“When I got back this a. m. I went to bed as I still felt a little sick to my stomach. I have been working on my car since lunch and am going to try and ged some sleep as we may all be called out tonight if there is another attack. “You can bet a fellow in this God forsaken land likes to get mail. We don’t have any time hanging heavy on our hands, though. I had to read your letter the other day on the way to the post. “Our section has just received an- other citation. That makes the third in less than a month. This citation was for so efficiently evacuating the blesses from the posts to the hospital during the recent attack. I just don’t manage about laundry. Gee, I haven’t had my clothes off once since being at the front. We are too busy. We work about thirty-six hours out of the twenty-four. Never mind we are putting it over another section that is here. They have given up and gone on repos. We had prior right to go on repos but when given the chance the other night we decided to see this offensive through. I think it was because of that, that we got our third citation. “I have a raincoat now. One was given to me. It came with some poor poilu. I wear the sheepskin all the time and could use about three every | night. It is fairly warm in the day time but very, very cold and damp, usually a drizzle at night. I don’t need any lighter coat. I wear my sweater under uniform coat, my | sheepskin and then wrap my blanket i around me. | “Fritz is trylng now to crown some | parracks about half a mile away.

Harriman of the People’'s church was read sto the church Thursday night at ‘the close of the prayer meeting. It came as a surprise to the church, though the official board had received it some days before and considered it Touching the resignation, the fol- lowing information has been obtained REV. N. H. HARRIMAN. from Mr. Harriman, and from a prominent member of the church and official board. Mr. Harriman’'s pasto- rate has been short, a little over a year only, and has been an exception- ally harmonious and happy one, on the part of both pastor and people. He is considered a strong and con- vincing preacher, and wise and lov- ing pastor. His ministrations in the homes of sickness and sorrow have been specially appreciated by the church. Yet Mr. Harriman feels that he is costing the church too much, more than it is able to contribute toward his financial support, on the basis of present income or of any increase that he sees likely in the immediate future. And though no complaining has been made or hinted at so far as he has heard, he feels that the few who have made it possible for him to receive a certain fixed sum twice a month with great regularity ought to be relieved of the unequal burden, as not getting their money’s worth. He does not consider what he is get- ting as by any means too much, in view of the work done and the cost of living; but he hopes that a min- ister may be found who can live on less, and perhaps succeed where he feels that he has not succeeded, es- pecially in building up the numbers. It is also believed, though Mr. Har- riman does not so state, that he has been influenced in his decision to re- sign by the fact that he has not been able to have his wife with him, and that all efforts to sell his home in Massachusetts have proved fruitless, as have also all tentative attempts to find a suitable home here that would fall within his income. Action on the resignation will be taken at a meeting called for next Thursday evening. Meanwhile, hav- ing no plans for the future, Mr. Har- riman has yielded to a request from the official board to remain for a time with the church, and has placed the date for his resignation to take ef- fect as the last of October. He will be sorry to go, he frankly admits, and it is equally certain that the church will be sorry to part with him. REALTY TRANSFERS. Fifteen Deeds Recorded at City Clerk’s Office During Past Week.

The fire underwriters met vesterday and appointed: Mayor Quigley, F. H. Schultz, J. J. Watson and W. L. Hatch a committee to see that October 9 is observed in the schools as fire pre- vention day. John A. Abrahamson was chosen rating clerk of the under- writers . An Invitation was received from the national association to attend the convention at St. Louis on October 'PEOPLE’S GHURCE |JEWS TO CELEBRATE TELLS O FRANCE, PASTOR RESIGNS SUCCOTH NEXT WEEK Feast of Tabernacles Begins at Sundown Monday “Succoth,” or the Feast of Taber- nacles, falls on the 15th day of the 7th month Tishri, which this year co- incides with Monday, October 1. festival lasts eight days, the final day being known as the Feast of Conclu- slon. Qnly the first and last days are regarded as eacred. “Succoth” is a haryest festival. In scripture it is known as the “Feast of Ingathering” and is ordained in Exo- dus XXIII-16 and XXXIV-22. It is associated with the journey of the Is- raelites through the wilderness. In Leviticus XXIII-42 it is commanded that the Israelites “dwell in booths seven days” in commemoration of the fact that Israel dwelt in booths when God brought them out of Egypt. In this festival stress is laid upon the Providence of God evidenced by the richness and bounty of nature. By it the ideal of Judaism is expressed that God is the dispenser of all things. The fruitfulness of the soil, the teeming bounty of the earth, the Jew is reminded, are the gifts of the Giver of all Life. Him alone. Man, in the midst of the many blessings gives thanks to Him who is the source of all that main- tains life. The Synagog decorated with flow- erg and fruit and products of the field, and the service of the festival ex- presses gratefu] recognition of the beneficence of God. CHIEF HAS FULL POWER. ‘Will Name Assistant to Detective Richardson. On Monday next the new changes in the police department become ef- fective when Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth becomes lieutenant in charge of the night force and Detective Andrew J. Richardson, who has been working with the sleuthing department, will be moved to a sergeantcy, in full command of the detective bureau. Captain Thomas W. Grace, who has been in charge of the department from 4 o’clock until midnight, will commence his duties at 8 o’clock in the forenoon, being relieved at 4 o’clock in the afternoon by Lieuten- ant Bamfortn. The proposed changes will greatly lessen the duties of Chief Rawlings and will give him more time for outside work. The police commissioners have em- powered the chief to name the as- sistant to Detective Richardson. Of- ficers William Murphy and Willlam O’Mara are sald to be the leading candidates for the berth. Both are conscientous officers. DOGS BECOME NUISANOE. Police Hear Animals in Pound Keep People Awake, Several doys that are at all times in the dog pound in the rear of police headquarters are becoming a nuisance, according to the people who live in the neighboring blocks, and also ac- cording to today’'s plaintive wail of the firemen at the central station who complain that the yelping of the canines kept them awake all last night. James Steele, a resident of Reynold’s Main street block, regis- tered a formal complaint with the police early this morning, declaring that the dogs are a nuisance and keep everybody in the vicinity awake nights. It is a great eollection of dogs that Dog Warden John Coffey has gathered. There are big dogs and little dogs. There are yellow curs and blue rib- boners, blaod hounds and lap dogs, licensed dogs and unlicensed dogs, fat dogs and thin dogs, happy dogs and sad dogs. In fact every one of the dozen or more dogs impounded is different from the other in all but one respect—they all yelp and bark con- tinuously and in a dozen. different keys. CABBAGE, MORE CABBAGES. Municipal Farm Puts First Produce On the Market For Sale. The Municipal Farm committee has put the first of its produce on the market and naw offers to the public of New Britain cabbages at $5 per 100 or sixty-five cents per dozen. While large orders will be delivered, smaller orders must be taken away by the purchaser. These should be left with H. S. Tallard, superintendent of the municipal farm, W. B. Rossberg at the water commissioners' office, city hall, or T. H. Kehoe, 299 Main street. Early in the season the farm com- mittee planted 20,000 head of cab- bage and at present there are about 3,000 heads ripe. It is estimated that at least 10,000 heads will be ready for sale shortly. K. OF C. CONSERVATION NIGHT. Each Council to Hold Observance in Month of October. William J. Mulligan, who has charge of the war activities of the Knights of Columbus in Connecticut, has arranged for all councils in the state to hold Conservation Night dur- ing October. Thus far $30,600 has beéen collected for the K. of C." War Fund in Con- necticut. Mr. Mulligan has had§ charge of the work for the past three weeks and he expects that $25,000 more will be collected during Oetober. NO DUES FROM SOLDIERS. Members of the Concordia Sick Benefit society who are serving in the army will not have to pay any dues or assessments during the duration of the war in order to be kept in good standing. At a meeting of the so- ciety last night a vote was unanimous- ly passed to have members in the army exempted from paying further dues or assessments. This vote in- cludes those who are already in the service, and those who will go shortly. The | Gratitude is due to | TEAGHERS SELECT SEASON'S PROGRAM Opening Recital-to Be Given on October 16 by Raymond Havens The United Parents’ and Teachers’ association has completed its plans for the season of 1917-18, and announces its fifth annual course, which com- bines entertainment and instruction in an attractive manner. In former years the program has consisted of high-grade entertainments, and thg very generous support given by the public testified that those who had the planning in charge had sounded a pop- ular chard in their selection., They have been encouraged to extend their efforts into other fields, and this yeéatr they have added to the list of four paid entertainments three lectures to which admission will be free of charge, with only such restrictions as will in- sure that those who are most interest- ed shall have seats. The list is as follows: On October 16, a pilano recital will be given by Raymond Havens, assist- ed by Miss Edith Castle, contralto, and Jos. BeeBee, accompanist. Mr. Havens is well known to noted music lovers and the quality of both his and Miss Castle’'s work is beyond question. On November 13, Morris J. Wessel, of Providence, president, New HEng- land Section, will lecture on ‘The School Building as a Community Cen- ter.” It is generally believed by many of those in New Britain who have kept in clasest touch with the develop- ments of civic social endeavor that the school buildings should be made of use in many ways not now c¢onsid- ered, and Mr. Wessel will explain how this may be done and will tell of the efforts other cities are making to cause the school buildings to be of value to the districts which they serve, On December 11, the New Britain Community orchestra will give a con- cert. ‘This organization, under Mr. Beebe's able leadership, has already made a name for itself among the city’s institutions- and is sure to have a large audience and a favorable re- ception. On January 32, Dr. Willlam H. Holmes, superintendent of schools in Maunt Vernon, N. Y., and a brother of Stanley H. Holmes of this city, will lecture on “The Value of a Visiting Teacher in a School System.” This subject brings within range of thought a form of educational service which has proven of value in other cities and makes the school a more vital factor in the home of the pupils. On February 19, the Wesleyan Col- lege Glee Club will give a concert. On March 12, Theaodore Dillaway, director of art education in Boston, and a national authority in his pro- fessian, will lecture on ‘‘Attractive School Grounds and Their Import- ance.” He will illustrate his lecture with slides from pictures taken in other cities. and possibly in New Britain. On April 23, Dr. Chauncey J. Haw- kins, the naturalist, will deliver an il1- lustrated lecture on “Bright Elyes and Timid Hearts of Our Northern For- ests.”” Some of Dr. Hawkins' photo- graphs of bear cubs have appeared In recent copies of magazines. His sub- ject cavers the little field mouse, the gigantic moose and a full range of the wild life of sizes between these extremes. There will be a matinee for school children. A season’s ticket, assuring the hold- er to a reserved seat to the three con- certs and Dr. Hawkins’ lecture will be sold for fifty cents, and the supply will doubtless be as quickly exhausted as have the season tickets in former vears. They can be obtained from the principal of any school or the presi- dent of any Parents’ and Teachers’ As- sociation. Tickets for each of the three edu- cational lectures will be issued before the events. There will be no charge for them, but admission will be limited to ticket holders. No seats will be reserved for these lectures. B WANTED SPONSOR—ARRESTED. Another Occupant of Prisoners’ Pen ‘Wanted Breskfast—Arrested Too. Two unusual excuses were present- ed to Judge John H. Kirkham in po- .lice court this morning when a Water- bury man explained that he came here to invite a friend to act as god- father for his baby, which is to be christened tomorrow, and got drunk. The other case was that of a Spring street man who went out this morn- ing to gather some mushrooms for breakfast and get arrested. Judg- ment was suspended in each In- stance. John Sobruski was the Waterbury man. He was arrested by Officer Meehan last night. After court the erstwhile occupant of the pen in- sisted on meeting Judge Kirkham personally and thanking him for his leniency. Joseph Wudick was the Spring street mushroom collector and he was arrested by Officer Walter Malona on complaint of Clifton Davenport, keep- er at the New Britain Trap Rock quarry. Mr, Davenport had Wudlck locked up in his kitchen when the police arrived. He told the court that “it is the practice of these tres- passers to work toward the pasture land, let down the bars and permit the bovines to stray eut and consume ‘odfr produce.” AUTO CRUSHES BOY’S TOE. Yesterday afternoon at about 4 o'clock George Blinn narrowly es- caped serious injury at Crowell’s cor- ner when he ran from the sidewalk into the path of an automobile driven by George Dashner. Playing with an- other boy, he did not see the ma- chine around the corner. The fromnt wheels of the machine ran over his foot at the toes crushing one and badly scraping the others. He was taken to the office of Dr. M. A. Kin- seMa by Officer Lamphere in Mr. Dashner's car, being able to go home later.

Thomas Ashe, the Irish martyr, was eulogized at the regular meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary to the A. O. H. at their meeting held last night. The majority of those present were ac- quainted with the famous exponent of Irish liberty, and remembered his visit here two years ago. A vote was taken by the ladies to assist the Na- tional auxiliary to obtain funds to- ward purchasing the necessary essen- tial so priests can hold services for | our soldiers in France. Following the meeting a soclal ses- sion was held, and the committee on arrangements were given a vote of thanks for making the plans.

RED CROSS NOTES. The West End branch of the Red Cross was opened on Monday evening. The entertainment was furnished by members of the G. A. R. The work at this branch is in charge of Mrs. V. B. Chamberlain, Jr. Materials are sent out from the rooms and are sewed by women in the neighborhood. The second floor of the building at Court street has been fitted up for a surgical dressing room. This will be in charge of Mrs. Walter H. Hart. Classes have already been started. It is desired during the present can- ning season that each woman will re- member to send a jar of jam or jelly to the rooms. These will be careful- ly packed by a professional packer who has volunteered his services and sent to the French hospitals. A number of local societies have been doing a large amount of Red Cross work during the summer. The Red Cross is working in conjunction with the new war committee recently appointed by Mayor Quigley. Due to the enormous amount of work done for the wounded in France the local branch announces that it will be un- able to furnish sweaters and other knitted articles to the soldiers at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass. Lessons in Singing Resumed. Mr. Benjamin M. Knox, vocal in- structor, announces the opening of his fourth season in New Britain.
