FLAG PRESENTATION. Home Guard to Receive National Em- blem From Relief Corps. Putnam’s Home Guard will be pre- sented a flag Wednesday evening on the square, near the 'p office, at a L patriotic rally to which all of the peo- ple of the city are bidden. The flag is the gift of A. G. Warner Woman's Relief Corps of this city. The ceremony will be made of such an inspiring nature as to generate a patriotic feeling that it 18 hoped will find a response in this city from the young men who are wanted for vol- unteers in the regular army and na- tional guard. During the present week an active campaign to ralse Windham county’s quota for the army is to be made in the several towns and especially here in Putnam, which city has no organ- ization that is likely to be called for service outside of Connecticut. Civil war records show that Put- nam responded nobly to the call that meant a desperate battle for the pres- crvation of the unfon and that the men who answered that call fought with all the heroism that has since made their doings a glorious memory and annually honored for more than half a century by the people of their home town. Today that call to war again sounds, and Putnam will not be found want- ing. There are more records of valor to be written, another battle for world wide liberty to be fought, and Put- nam will do its share in the great struggie. The campaign here will be under the direction of G. Harold Gilpatric, member of the state council of de- fence. Thureday afternoon.
