PICK STRAWBERRIES | IN THE TRENCHES { P Private Frost Describes Life in l the Front Lines Private son of Mrs. tioned in recent casualty lists as hav- [ing been seriously wounded, writes most cheerfully from France. Private Frost shows himself to be a thought- ful son and a considerate comrade in arms. Tle asks his mother to scnd pictures of herself and her husband in order that he may see how they look after a year's absence. “'I suppose vou will have a nice time on your birthday. 1 am sorry that I can't give you anything. My three Liberty Bonds will be paid for the last of next month, (meaning July) and you can call them your birthday present, as I will send them to you.” Not all of the real volunteers in the war those national guardsmen who went overseas months ago—are apt letter writers and their comrades write let- ters for them. “I have just finished writing a couple of letters for an Itallan lad,” writes Private Frost. In his letter under date of June 8, Private I'rost asks: “What do you think about us going out to pick strawberries in the front line of trenches to make a nice shortcake? I guess you folks at home are not the only ones having strawberries.” An- other evidence of the cheerful tone of the writer is reflected in the fol- lowing: “Gee these front lines are great! It's just like living at home, nice and warm and no mud. Its near- ly as good as being at the shore for the summer. If they don’t ship us off to some other front it will be great. Of course Fritz sends over a few of his shells and plenty of gas, but that doesn’t last forever. I wish you could see some of the big trees here. They are cut right in bhalf. There is one a little ways from here that was larger around than my waist. Tt is now laying across the ground and only the stump is left. You can imagine what they are going to do to anyone if they hit.” Private Frost writes that he re- cently met Lieut. Chamberlain and he was “looking fine.” “I suppose Kenneth is still trying to lick the old kaiser”. “Eddie Martin is back with us again and he is looking good too. “It’s going some when we can smoke Pall Mall cigarettes in the trenches, when lots of fellows back home can’t afford to smoke them. They cost only a quarter a pack. “We have been in and out of the trenches quite a little since February 7, and we have been within shell fire most of the time since then, except possibly ten days.” Private Fro§t writes: “I see some of the papers say that the regulars were in the battle of Seicheprey, but they are all twisted. There were none of them present. I wish that you could see the ‘bunch’ now. They looked healthy in the states, but after what we have had to go through over here they look a whole lot better, even if it's hard work”. DOWNING THE BUGSHEVIKI Baer Enthuses on Meriden’s Raymond I Judson Frost, who was men- “Bugs” Idea to Rid Potato Patches of Its Many Teethed U-boat Captains. By Arthur (“Bugs”) Baer. Copyright 1918, by Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) From an astigmatic birds’eye of the works, it looks as if Meriden, Con- necticut, is going to give the potato Bugsheviki the grand razz. There are four hundred pages in the official razz book. And the grand razz is the last razz in the last paragraph on the last page of the book. It is equivalent to a certified epitaph. If a potato bug could only read he cer- tainly would lose a lot of sleep. The reason why this robust vendetta has been established between Meriden and the potato Bugsheviki is the bug’s genial custom of grabbing Connecticut farms by the ears and turning 'em over on their backs. So Meriden's Chamber of Commerce has launched a reward of two Thrift Stamps a pint for potato bugs, f. o. b. Connecticut, plus the usual war tax. The situation is very stylish now, but conservative Meriden fears that the Bugsheviki may install a Kaiserish reprisal and offer fifty cents a pint for Connecticut farmers. The potato bug is the brunette mutton of the bug family. He can eat the nap right off a tater ranch and holler for six encores. After he sinks a mean tooth into a potato the poor old tater croaks while the spud experts are arguing whether to send the toothmarked victim to a doctor or a dentist. The HI' plump rascals have their Bertillon measurements in every en- tomological rogues’ gallery in the world and suburbs. They have ten longitudinal stripes running from their hip pockets to their collar but- tons, and a yellow limousine body {with black trimmings. They are very taciturn. Compared to the spud beefle, the cootie is a blooming philanthropist. Jt is the cootie’s ambition to see that nobody comes through this war with- out a scratch. He has four thousand legs and a kick in each one. A cootie js a demon, but a tater bug is a Gemon plus. Small bird, but his mouth is so big that he has an expres- Publishing proclamations to the potato Bugsheviki is bad billiards, so the Meriden Chamber of Commerce is offering two thrift stamps a pint for their scalps. As the lil’ cheaters don’t pay any more attention to tres- pass signs than a chimpanzee does to clothing ads., Connecticut has put the spurlos versenkt sign on ’em. But fifty cents a pint seems a high price NEW BRITAIN EXCEEDS QUOTA OF THRIFT STAMP PLEDGES ALLOTTED § New Britain went over far as the number of plec is con- cerned in the War Savings drive, but fell short of reaching the $1,200,000 mark. Up to today the number of pledges is 26,723, covering 41,000 in- dividuals and amounting to $813 616.05. The wards reported yeste day 1.293 pledges representing 1,843 individuals and totalling $34,005.86. The previous wards' reports amount- ed to the following: Pledges individuals 4,834, amount $78 At the tent yesterday alone were 1,038 pledges received. senting 1,616 individuals, and a total of $40,692.63. The results from the tent were so gratifying it was dectd- | ed to continue running it today up to 9 o'clock tonight and a great many more pledges are looked for. Any people, who have not heen ap- proached in regard to making pledges are requested to telephone to the the top a~ Chamber of 3 and a canvasser will be sent to see them or if they call at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, a pledge will be made out there. It Is expected in the next few days the thermometer will 1l up towards the goal sct Commerce, 'phone 1 for the Senator Klett, director of the campa telephoned to state headquarters in Hartford today and reccived very gratifying news as far as New Britain is concerned. The word came back that they took their hats off tc New B. it was way ahead of any other place in the state. New London had made complete re- turns. and they rveported 17,000 pledges amounting 1o $250,000 on an allotment of $500,000. Incomplete returns from Hartford showetl over 7,000 pledges. New Britain has reason to feel proud in comparing the show- ing herc with the rest of Connecticut. i for Bugsheviki full of potato julce only. If that were rye or corn instead of potato extract fifty seeds a smash would be about the right tariff. Fair enough. Two fingers of kerbugs with a little soda on the side would produce a reasonable shock. If you see a Meriden citizen who is steering a flivver with his feet, blowing a police whistle with one lung and screaming for the militia with the other, while he pummels the soft sum- mer atmosphere with a six cylinder potato bug swatter and balances a high hat full of potato Bugsheviki on his chin, don’t think that he is a hophead. He is merely doing his kerduty and kerflapping kerbugs for goals. One high hat full of kerbugs is worth two thrift stamps. Which is the randsom for a king, providing he doesn’t happen to be a czar or a kaiser. Then half a high hat full of kerbugs will balance the books. Leasing potato bugs by the pint is a fat idea. While New York has no potato beetles in the works, still it would be a jolly party if President Shonts offered two bits for every pint of elbows captured in the subway. If Philadelphia donated twenty-five cents for every pint of humidity, every Quaker bird would" be a million- aire faster than a perturbed rabbit can zigzag out of danger. A pint of | Jersey double-barrelled skeeters bring five jitneys anywhere. The idea should stretch like a war biscult made of rubber. Buy up the Hohenzollerns at a dime a pound. They're lightweights, and the transac- tion wouldn’t dent a dollar bill. At the same time bringing harmony to a world where fun is scarcer than neutral zones. HEINIE ROHRBACHER MEETS LOCAL MAN . Private Provost Sends Home Identi- fication Tag Taxen From German Prisoner, An identification name “Heinrich tag, bearing the Rohrbacher” has been received by Mr. and Mrs. George Provost of 88 Pllasant street and came from their son, Norman, a first [ to our PRIVATE N.

Private Provost writes that “it is wonderful over there” and that he is stationed at a large hospital in Somewhereland. OFF FOR NORTH POLH. Capt. Amundsen’s Chip Maude Starts on Long Journey.

He built the ship Maude after a new and unique design. No point on her hull will not present the convex surface of an arc to the pressure of ice. Crude oil will be used as fuel and Captain Amundsen hopes to make a greater portion of the northern trip by sail.

Beatty of 184 Scymour Street, Hartford, Alleged Wom- an in the Case. Judge Lucien F. Burpee, in grant- ing divorce to Mrs. Katherine San- ford Landers from her husband, George M. Landers, was not called upon to pass on any claim for ali- or on the matter of allowing s. Landers to drop her marriage name. These matters were not claimed. Charles Phelps, tion of the case, reply in the considera- had before him a from the defendant in which denial was made by Mr. Landers of the allegation of infidelity on which the divorce was claimed. The plain- tiff named as co-respondent one Belle M. Beatty of 184 Seymour street, Hartford, said to have been living in New Britain when Mr. Landers was mayor. Mr. Phelps found Mr. and Mrs. Landers w married July 18, 1911, ad for a year and a half they lived happily. The defendant then began to absent himself from a home and between May 1, 1916, and Oc- tober 1. 1917, spent much of his time at the home of the co-respond- ent. The finding was that the co- respondent went on trips with the defendant to New York and Atlantic City. Y. W. C. A. IN MISSION FIELD New Britain Organization Directly Interested in One Worker in Orient —South America Offers Field. Very little has been said concern- ing the amount of religious good ac- complished by the Y, W. C of this country. The missiona Tk in China, India and Japan has grown so tremendously that an emergency call has been sent out, asking for leader- ship and money. At the present time 17 secrearies are being supported by the northeastern field of which the New Britain Y. W. C. A. is a part, and the local Y. W. C. A. is directly interested in the support of at least Qne of them. South America is also very much in need of workers. BSec- retaries and buildings are essential to ‘the carrying on of work in that country. Tnasmuch as hundreds of Spanish-speaking girls are coming in- international institutes, it is necessary that they know something about America before coming here. South America has no student and only one rity association, Buenos Adres. Countries having 39 tim the population of this country are sent only one twentieth as many secre- taries as are employed by the North- eastern fleld. If the other ten flelds in the country have the same kind of record, it is small wonder that calls are belng made for leaders and money. The Y. W. C. A. is making a strong appeal throughout the country for funds with which to sup- port the secretaries in charge of for- elgn work and all contributions will be gladly accepted. In Japan, the following citles are waiting for organization: Kyoto, student, factory center; Kobe, busi- mess, emigration, student; Sandal, student; Nagasaki, business, emigra- tion; Nagova, business, student, factory; Sapporo, business, student. Eighteen ‘American secretaries are needed. In the twelve colleges for women in India are the future leaders of that country. A few student secre- taries sent out now can accomplish more than many later. 21 secre- taries are needed in China. Twelve important capital and coast cities are urging the Amencan Y. W. C. A. to organize now. Three of these have heen added in the last three months. Six annual summer conferences are held without any one to give more These are only a few of the many handicaps expe- { rienced by ¥. W. C. A, secretaries in the Orient. ANDREW ROBB LEAVES.
