Jarvis, who has been cor- responding with the Berlin boys in the service: Miss L. of owing has % to { ight “Passavant, “Dear Mr. Jarvis: “I am in good health and hope that you are the same; also I received your most welcome letter O. K. and I can imagine how the people of the town felt when the armistice was signed. You stated in your letter about whis- tles and parades throughout the coun- try—well, on the other" hand, over here the French people went wild. 1 could see a happy smile on every one of them here; they were kissing each other and only God knows what they were not doing You can hardly blame them because they had gained a victory which made the world safe | for democracy. The sights that I wit- nessed here on that day were some that I will never forget. E “On that day our company up again for some front pose is somewhere near St. Mihiel. I ve been on three fronts and have n some fighting, the latest one ing the Verdun front.

The lodge has its meetings on the second floor of Grange Pierce street and the club was on the first floar. When the old towa hall was de- stroved by fire the town secured per- mission from the Foresters to use half of the room occupied by the club and the room was partitioned, dividing it inta two rooms, the front room being used by the towna officers. When the new town hall was built and the offices of the town placed in the new building, it was not considered worth while to tear out the partition, as many of the mem-| bers of the club are in t service | and will nat be home for some time! to come.
