The patriotic response that many predicted would come from the young men of the city when the real drive for volunteers was made is being re- alized here in full measure, and from indications Friday it is possible that Putnam may furnish as many as half a company of men for the army b fore tonight. 3 Boon after 7 o'clock Friday morn- ing, young men began to appear at the rooms of the Chamber of Com- merce_seeking for Private C. F. Dut- ton, U. B. A. for the purpose of ap- plying for enlistment in the reguiar army. More came during the morn- ing hours and there was a steady re- sponse to the call for enlistment throughout the day. Among those who fled applications early in the day were Omer Bian- chette, Joseph Cordier, Joseph Harra and Alfred M. Willlams. Among the first to appear at the recruiting office Friday morning were Lorenzo Ken- nedy, Charies Donohue and Peter mas,’ but at that time the recruiting officer was busy in Danieison, so the young men had to walt. Recruiting is certainly going strong here and this is highly pleasing to those who are conducting the cam- paign. The manner in which the young men of Canadian birth or de- scent have come forward to enlist is a fine tribute to their patriotism and an inspiration that will cheer others on to join the eolors. Accepted on Sight. The majority of the young men who went forward from this city to New London Thursday, after applying for for enlistment here, are expected to pass the physical examinations. Re- ports from them began to_trickle In during Friday and the word was that those accepted were being forwarded at once to Fort Slocum, N. Y. The accepted ones are being sent alons without an opportunity to return to thelr homes to say farewells. At Fort Slocum they will undergo final phy- sical tests, which . may be severe enough to cause the rejection of some who have satisfactorily passed the ex- aminations given at New London. Some fine, husky young men have Zone out of Putnam within the past 48 hours to join the colors. Speaking for a group of them Friday one said: “We've {been thinking it over and we've decided to go now. Uncle Sam won’t have to come and get us. We're going to him. We know that war is no _holiday, but we're going in there and take all the chances that go with the game. We're ready to fight.. That is the spirit that is hourly be- coming more general about town and as men step forward to sign up ‘others seem to get the inspiration and follow suit. Pu‘nam is making a fine re- cruiting record this week, probably the best in the county. RED CROSS TEAMS REPORT FOR CAMPAIGN Mrs. Jennie K.
