Buell Marches There on “American Day” In the following letters from Wil- liam H. Buell he is found in London safe and sound after his trip overseas during which time he spent over two weeks on the water. He describes scenes in London and “American Day’ which was held there in honor of the arrival of American troops. He per- haps bears the distinction of being the only New Britain boy in the parade over a mile long and consisting of American troops. Buell hopes the war will not end by arbitration and says he wants to see the German power broken before any peace is made. The letters follow: “August 12. “Dear Mother and Father:— “We arrived in Liverpool at 3 a. m. | There were 27 destroyers cir- | today. cling around us last night until we got into the Mersey river. We were from 8 a. m. to 10 a. m. before the Alien landing officer. He has to know all sorts of things; why we are in Eng- land, what occupation, what occupa- tion in the United States, etc. It was after 10 o’clock when we got on land, then had until 12:40 when our train left for London. It certainly seems good to see trees, grass and buildings. I can still feel the boat motion. The sidewalk seems to be swaying all the time. As our train did not leave un- til 12:40 we walked around the city a little. We were very near starved but couldn’t get anything to eat until 11:30. The restaurants are only open certain hours. Then we can only get 4 ounces of meat, a few pieces of po- tato, some bread and a plum tart, not a bit can be wasted. One must eat everything they put before him as one is liable to be arrested if he throws anything away. “There are soldiers everywhere, some are horrible sights, but still it is all in the war game. “The engines here would fit in the cab of one of ous big locomotives. The cars are small. Each coach is divid- ed into five departments, like a hack, each compartment seats six persons. The seats are like those in a hack also. The freight cars are the queer- est looking things. It would take three to make one of ours. They are all wood and on high wheels, only four wheels to a car, no trucks like ours have and just like a buggy made to run on a track. “The English are all courteous. We all notice it. Every sentence is suf- fixed with “Sir”. We are used great. One of the stations we stopped at some girls gave us tea and cookies. It took from 12:40 to 7 p. m. to get (o London. We are staying at a very good hotel. It costs 7 shillings or $1.75 After washing up we had dinner. We met a Canadian in the aviation corps and he showed us around a little. We finally went to a “movie”. There is absolutely nothing to do at. night. There are no lights on account of air raids. Incidentally, there was an air raid about 20 miles from London this evening. The Boche were headed for London but were driven off. “Women act as chauffeurs, conduc- tors, taxi drivers, waiters, ¢tc. The homes are all about alike with slate roofs and chimnevs with tile sticking out of the top. It is 12:30 and so 1 guess I will go to bed soon. Have a lot to attend to tomorrow. Must see the head of the French Red Cross, the U. S. Consul and the French Consul. There is to be a parade of U. S. troops in London this week and we may be held here to take part in it. By the way, I find that you can send me packages of cigarettes, candy, etc. The tobacco comes .in duty free. As it takes so long for mail to get through you might start something as soon as I give you my permanent address. “I sent yo utwo cables, one to the American express and the other to the Sovereign trading company. Hope you get one of them at least.” “London, August 13. “It is a little hard to get onto the money here, sometimes we hold out a handful and let them help them- selves. For a meal the government won't allow one to buy more than what would mean 31 cents in our money. “Traffic rules are also different here, turn to left instead of right. No trolleys, only subways and busses. They call the subways the tube. 1 asked a policeman where I eould find a subway and he replied that they didn’t have any. When we go along the street people look and then whis- per, ‘Yanks. “Went to the French Red Cross, the U. S. consul, French consul and police station. Had to leave my pic- tures everywhere.” “London, August 14, “It is now 6 p. m. Evans, Dix and I have been sleeping ever since 11:30 this a. m. We got lost in a London fog last night and didn’t get home until 4:30 this morning. We had to get up at 9 a. m. and go to head- quarters and then we went back to bed when we got back. A London fog is all it is claimed to be and more too. We had to hold onto each other in order to keep together. Could not see two feet head. Londoners al- ways stand still but we didn’'t know enough to do that and kept going. Consequently we got off the track. ‘We tried to hire a taxi but the driver refused to carry us until the fog lifted. Dix has a friend here who used to llve in Boston whom we tried to find. We didn't succeed though. We leave tomorrow for Southhampton and across the channel to Havre. Wouldn't it be terrible if this war ended by arbitration? It is very like- ly. If so, the nations will be just where they started and all this gigan- tic loss of life and great suffering will have been in vain. I want to see German power broken before any peace is made. Tt must be; otherwise Germany will not have received the licking she should.

Oh, what a cele- bration! We marched about ten miles by the way I feel. The parade was one and one-half miles long and all American troops. There were thousands and thousands of persons everywhere. We had flowers and kisses thrown to us and the Y., W. C. A. girls gave us coffee and sand- wiches. “Oh, what spirit! Everybody calls, “God bless you.” You never saw such spirit. It makes a fellow feel proud to think that he is taking part in this war. We were reviewed by the king and high nobles, etc. All the fellows who came over with us were in line. The fellows who were in the boat with us have just boarded an- other train to go to their camp just outside of London. They have just pulled out of the station. We marched through the line of British troops and saw them off. An officer was going to put us out but the troops (our troops) grabbed him and hustled him through the gates. There are several thousand in the sta- tion here cheering. Gee, what spirit! The English people are great. Y. W. C. A, girls bring us coffee and sand- wiches and will post our letters for us furnishing the stamps. “The air is full of shouts and cheers. We are getting some send- off. We go to Southampton, thence to Havre and Paris. We get to Paris sometime Friday. I hope there is some mail there for me. I am send- ing papers of ‘American Day.’ " ————————————————— SEEMS EVERYONE IS ANXIOUS TO TRY IT Recent discovery of ether com- pound that dries up corns so they lift out. Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone, the ether discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to lossen |’ any corn so it lifts out with the fin- gers. Ask at any pharmaey for a qudrter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little, but is said to be sufficient to rid one’s feet of every hard or soft corn or callous. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts out with- out pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoin- ing tissue. This discovery will prevent thou- sands of deaths annually from lock- jaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns.

W. C. A. Saturday evening for the Stanley Works tobacco fund. The tobacco is for the boys of the concern that are in the service. The affair was a big success. In the sketch en- titled ““O Beans'” the cast was Lilllan Jackson, “A Cut Up”; Dorothy Mac- Arthur, “A Boob”; Ellen Berquist and Elsie Loomis, ‘“planists”; Kitty ‘Ward, “The Maid’’; Nellie Murnane, “The Krevie”; Bob Loomis, “The Man’; Minnie Oslund, “The Girl”; Florence Kronholm, Minnie Karen, Hazel Kiley, Alma Stromquist and Esther MacArthur, students. A. H. Desau, advertising manager for the Stanley Works, acted in the capacity of announcer. The play opens with two students in the dormitory building studying in their room. Suddenly one of the girls indignantly casts her book aside and protesting against studying starts to play a song on the piano. Attract- ed by music other girls fille in and soon a happy time ensues throughout which the audience was kept in spasms of laughter. Musical selec- tions rendered were “Lilly of the Val- ley,” “When the Sun Goes Down in Dixie,” “Back Home Again in Indi- ana,” and as a thrilling and dramatic finale, impressing flag effect, “Over There,” was given with such a will that the hall fairly shook for an en- core. Others on the program were, Ralph Britton, baritone soloist, and Miss Ella Orr, elocutionist. ASK FOR and GET I-Iorllck” The Original Malted Milk Substitutes Cost YOU Same Price.
