Four troop trains, - carrying 2700 men passed through this city Thurs- day, bound for Ayer, Mass, The first train, from Hartford, ar- rived here at 10.40, forty minutes late. The men on this train were served a luncheon by the same concern which fed the men last September 20. These men acted like men, since they did not proceed to “tank up” in local saloons while they stopped here. One of them said that they had been cautioned not to get off the train. The second train was from An- sonia and arrived at 120, twenty minutes late. These men immediately went in large, boedies into some of the Railroad street saloons and after drinking all that they could, carried bags of bottles out with them. The train was forced to stop here twenty- five minutes because of a hot box and about_seven-eighths of the men vis- ited the saloons during that time. The third_train, from Danbury, ar- rived at 2.05. one hour and ferty-five minutes late. This train did not lin= ger long at the local statlon as it had to make way for the New Haven train which carried the local boys off. This train arrived nearly on sched- ule time and pulled out at 3.17. Three New Haven men on this train re ceived medical attention_and missed their train. One of them Yell down an embankment and spit his kneecan. One of the other two had his face burned around his eve by cigar ashes. They were sent in an automobile to catch the train at the first place, North Windham if possible, or Put- nam at least. (As told in the Put- nam news today they just made it.) Hears From Drafted Men.

He left this city aftsr the train had gone, yet he was ahead of it th Hamp- ton. He waited there for two minutes before the train arrived, but the train would not stop, so he had to continue to Putnam. He arrived in Putnam just in time to catch the train.

The raise is 50 per cent., or ome cent additional for each zone, which maices the fare to Coventry lake 18 cents and Norwich 45 cents instead of 30 cents. Thi§ raise will probably help out some of the high school boys, as some of them are go- ing to attend the Windham-Norwich football game in Norwich Saturday and they were planning to go by auto truck, but it was impossible to get enough to fill a truck. They will charge 70 cents the round trip, which was 10 cents more than the old fare, but with the increase each saves 20 cents going down that way. The conductors are not having any trouble collecting the money, but many of the passengers grumble. Brief Mention. Officer Bombriand is taking Officer Grady's place on the Sodom beat.
