It is expected that these reports will be called for scon after the first of the year. Soldiers Take Bond: A report received here Tuesday from Fort Terry was to the effect that in one members of the 3§th company of jeleon subscribed for $600 worth of Liberty bonds and that before the close of the campaign this week that amount will bs very substantially in- creased. Thus tbe boys in Khaki, who are enlisted to do the fighting, buy bonds. to meet the cost of the war while the slackers at home assert “we can’t afford it.” This is the day proclaimed by Presi- dent ‘Wilson' as Liberty Loan day. Here in Danielson there will not be any public observance of the day, so there remains only the ajternative of sub- scribing for bonds as a means of at- testing loyalty to the gZovernment, which representc the nation. Busy Days at Terry. Down at Fort ‘Terry, where the 38th company, L. L S. has been in training since late in July, the men continue their intensive training for what they hope will be ultimate service abroad. The 38th company has done well at Fort Terry. _It, ugh the willing- ness of its officers and men and care- ful attention to instruction and duty, has made a splendid reputation and today it is rated one of the very best companies in the whole corps, a fact that is attested by the amount of special and important work that has been assigned to it. The officers and men are very proud of the compli- ments they have received for their work from staff officers and their spirit has been heightened and their determination strengthened to earn even higher commendation. The rule of the company is to do every task as well as possible. This has been applied and held to and it bas brought results. Danielson may well be proud of the company that represents it today in the coast de- fense service and in this pride the towns of Plainfield, Brooklyn and Put- nam, which are well represented in its ranks, have a generous share. Every section of Killingly has its members in_the company. Today the soldier boys are interest- ed in the big fleld day at Fort Wright. There are to be sports, including a football game between teams repre- senting Forts Terry and Wright. The 38th company has four members on the Fort Terry team, including First Sergeant Percy Brown. The company has no intimation of what service it may be called upon to do. Men here on leave say there is much talk at the post about the likeli- hood of the ccrps being sent across as_mobile artiliesy, but there are no definite announcements. In the meantime members of the local company are hardened into army life and familiar with many new du- ties. The command has details on searchlight work, at the power station and at other places of importance about the island. The company gets much instruction in infantry drill as well as In methods of operating big guns.
