Fl'ver since Wallingford was visited a tornado, folks in these parts e been accustomed to refer to t event in their chronological cal- ations. Progressive as is New tain in all other respects, the city hld never boast of any important i event which would serve as a erence date for its residents, That all changed now, however, and ceforth it will not be necessary to fix future narrations of local oc- rences with such time-worn ases as: “After the big blizzard,” “Before the Waterbury fire', or ce the Wallingford tornado", and n. From now on, so far as local nts are concerned, history will b from ‘‘the day of the cyclone”. vesterday His Cyclonic Majesty i us a visit, which, though brief, not spoiled by a single duil mo- ht, and which will linger perma- ly in the minds of those upon m he showered his unwelcome at- ions. aturally there was much confu- caused by the sudden, unan- hced visitation of the distin- jhed personage who rules over the s of Kansas and adjoining sec- .

Hardly a person in this whole coun- try had heard of Jan Olszewski, of the Polish Le a lelter, published in last evening’s Herald stamps him as one of the greatest heroes this war has pro- duced. Born in Poland 29 years ngo, he had gone to France in 1814 to study father, a captain in the Russian army. lost his life at engineering. His Broclaw: his mother had been killed in Warsaw by a bomb: two hrothers had also fallen in hbattle, and the child of his sister had been killed in her arms by Hun soldiers. Little wonder, then, that Jan Olszewski should join the Polish Legion in France in the hope of avenging the loss of his beloved rtlatives. His record in service is nothing buf phenomenal. In four years he has taken part in engagements in Belgi- um ad northern France, been wound- ed many times, and yet almost mira- culously he has thus far cscaped death. His decorations for bravery include the Medal of the Legion of Honor, the French War Cro stars, and two “palms’. He must have been a proud soldier indeed that day when, in view of all his omrades, the enviable Medal of the six L::egifln of Honor was fastened on his meast by General Archinard, now commasding the Polish Army in France. The narrator. who supplied us with the details of Jan Olszewski's glorious achlevements, concluded his letter as follows: “This is only a synopsis of Jan's adventures and there are meny more like him in our army, and in the future I'll write more so that our countrymen in America may know that the Polish Ary many heroes That final sentence in France has true, of course, but a trifle superfluious. New Britain, as well as other cities in this country, had an opportunity to be- come acquainted with the caliber of the men composing the Polish Army in France during the recent visit of the Polish Military Commission. No one who spoke to those officers doubts that whither they lead, brave men follow. Cheer up, 1t might have been much worse. Who knows the exact time the cy- clone ‘‘hlew in”'?
