In connection with the presentation of a flag to ve made next Sunday by the citizens of New London to the Third regiment, nnccticut Home guard. not a few Norwich people re- call a similar presentation by the citizens—of New London to the old Third regiment, C. N. G., 49 years ago last month. It was on Sept. 9. 186, that the old Paird regiment assembled at Camp Perkins, New London, were reviewed by the governor, and pre- sented a_handsome flag by the citizéns of New London. Regarding this important event In the history of the Third regiment,-The Bulletin of Sepi. 10, 1535, says: At half past two this afterncon tie regiment fell in for review. There were crowds in the company street on the drill grourds and indetd all ov the encampment. On one side there were long lines of carriages, all filled with visitors from the city. There were many also jn the tents, friends and relatives of the officers and men. After regimental line was formed po- sition was ‘2ken on the north of the fleld anid a salute was fired. The gov- einor, accompanied by his staff, soon after Apde on tu the field and reviewed the regiment. Bverything passed off satisfactorily and_the governor ex- pressed himself highly pleased with the drill of the regiment. Bofore dress parade a collation was given by the officers of the regiment to the gover- nor and staff and to the mayor and common council of New London. When dress parade came on the erawd had not perceptibly diminished. Eack trip the Sunbeam brought down a load. After the parade had been formed a carriage with T. M. Waller and ladies from New London drove out o the right of the colonel. THe flag which had been procured for the regi- ment by the citizens of New London Was then presented by Mr. Waller, who spoke as follows: Citizen Soldiers of the National Guard: By this scene of beauty—this land- scape and open view—the tented field on which we stand—and these bright uniforms and Lristling arms around me—T am of scene reminded of which we read In the days of anclent chival- vy, when the approving smile of wom- an was the hope of knighthood and her gift was worn the badze of courage and of honmor. The rank of knighthood is of the past but the spirit of chivalry is immortal. Knights never met than in_fairer land than this—under brighter skies than ours; mever on them beamed the smiles of truer women than those about me, and for whom I speak—nor was ever fitter gift to brave knizht made than this, for the women of our | city, T now make to vou. It is the flag around which the smoke and din of battle—in the clash and clang of arms—many of you have often rallied; it is the flag in whose defense the gallant_Perkins like a_hero fought and lke a hero fell. It is the flag of our country—the emblen of the free. By thoughtful action as citizens In peace and by brave deeds as soldlers in war, ever preserve and defend It. None but brave men can respect as You have the memory of the brave. The youthful soldier in honor of whose memory yot have named this camp Gid, by his brilliant decds. add luster to the historic name of Perkins. In our city’s band of martyred heroes he was as brave as any, though voungest of them all. Wken I speak with pride of him, I think of all his brave com- panions, and n honoring him you have done honor to them all. Colonel: For soldierly appearance and behavior—for vetcran-like disel- pline hnd drill—accept for your gallant regiment the compliments of our la- dies and with their compliments accept this flag. The speech was delivered in Wal- Jer’s best style and the crowd listened with almost breathless attention. Col- onel McCord responded. returning thanks in behalf of the regiment. He said that the regiment would look upon the flag with pieasure and pride, and that it would guard it and preserve it as a_memento. for which the donors would always be gratefully remember- ed. The color guard was marched up to receive the flag and the band gave the Star Spangied Banner. Adjutant Gale then read the following: Norwich, Sept. 8, 1868. James J. McCord. Colonel Third Regt- ment, C. N, G.: Dear Sir:— Allow me through vou to presents to the regiment a pair of marker's colors as a recognition on my part of the honor paid to the memory of my son, in naming your encampment after him one vear ago. 1 assure you that I highly appreciate that expreseion of regard for one dear to me, coming as it did from a regiment whose ruputa- tion stands so high for its admirable discipline and soldierly deportment, The state of Connecticut may weli be proud of her present cigizen soldiers, and_we should never regret the ex- penditure that we have incurred in the organization. equipment and train ing of our existing regiments. The sons of Connecticut, whénever called upon to rally around the flag of the republic, have _ever bravely maintained the honor of the state, and won for themselves undying fame by their heroic intrepedity. During the recent bloody struggle for the preservation of the government Connecticut soldiers bravely shed their bloo# and offered up their lives on almost every battlefield. and the flag of our little state waved proudly in the van of our army.

'The fires will be bonfires set in differen’, parts of the city and at each fire a speaker will address the crowds and tell of the great need for the purchase of Liberty bonds. This new feature in the campaign work was sugeested in a letter recelved by Mrs. Albert H. Chase, chairman of the iocal ladies’ committee, from the Lib- erty loan woman's committee. This plan has been adopted In other cities throughout the country and Has met with marked success.

Story Has Gained Circulation That Knitted Articles Have Been Sold. chapter has people to report The local Red Cross requested Norwich any case, If crey have accurate in- formation, of the selling of ~articles knitted by the Red Cross, and the mat- ter will be immediately investigated. No attention will be given to vague rumors. = A statement from Harvey D. Gibson, general manager of the American Red Cross, has been raceived by Mrs. R. W. Perkins, eecretary of the local branch. It reads as foilows: “A story is belng circulated to the effect that sweaters, socks and other articles knitted by the Red Cross are being sold, either to the public In shops to direct to the soldlers. This is_emphatically mot true. No article whatever, either knitted or otherwise made by Red Cross workers, and turn- ed into any Red Cross chapter, branch or auxiliary, or to any supply ware- house, are Sold either to the soldlers or_in shops. “If any wilful case of this eort should come to the attention of head- quarters, the chapter of the Red Cross chapter or subsidiary sanctioning it would be immediately withdrawn with rull publicity. Should it transpire that an actual instance of the above char- acter occurred wherein an individunl sold articles after their having been turned in to the Red Cross. such ac- tion would be clearly in viclatlon of the fundamental law covering the Red Cross, and we would take vigorous steps to prosecute the offender. "It is also true that any case of persons, other than those acquiring | the right prior to January, 1905, using the name or emblem of the Red Cross t oassist in the sale of merchandise, is a violation of the provisions of the federal criminai law, and the offeffder should be reportéd 7To the Unitad States aistrict attorney for prosecu- tion. . “There is no way to prevent people from making the same type of articles as are produced by Red Cross work- | ers and sellinz them for their own | advantage, thus subjecting the Red | Cross to unjust criticism. Should they | use the name or emblem of the Red Cross in connection with such eale, however, they will be vigorously prose- cuted. HOTELS DECIDE TO HAVE “BEEFLESS” Owners Highly Pleased With Conser- vation Campaign Now in Effect. DAY | The hote] men of the state at a meeting held at the Hond hotel in Tartford expressed themselves as be- ing highly pleased with the conserva- tion campaifn now in effcct. They declared their intention of further ac tion to systematize the work in insure a mcre complete program of food con- servation for the state. The first step this programme is the designation of Tuesday of each week as a ‘beef- lees” day, next Tuesday being the first of these-davs. It was also de- cided that in addition to substituting other breads for wheat bread on cer- tain days an_assortment would be served at all times, thus giving guests opportunity to cut down the consump- tion of wheat bread. It was pointed out that pork consumption should be limited in order to save fats and it is crowd dispersed. The flags presented are very handsome and the regiment is proud of them. The national flag is of regulation size and of silk. It is edged with bullicn and bullion tassels and is surmounted with a handsome gilt eagle. A silver plate on the staff bears the inscription: “Presented to the Third Regiment, C. N. G, by the Cltizens of New lLondon” The state flags presented by Colonel Waite are of biue silk. edged with bullion.
