J. Brophy warns local _people people against visiting New London Wwhere there are children. He also ad- vises against the entertainment of New London people in Norwich resi- dences until the epidemic in that city has subsided or for at ieast two weeks. Health Officer Brophy endeavored to get in communication with Dr. K. C. Chipman, the New London health of- ficer to obtain a detailed account of the New London situation but _met with no success. While it is realized that all known cases of diphtheria in New London are strictly isolated it is felt that there may be some unde- tected cases with whom contact would be dangerous. It is for this reason that the warning is issued. If this advice is not feeded by the local people and further measures are deemed necessary to protect the pub- lic health the local health department will go_the limit.

Copp, 301st Machine Gun From: Headquarters Co., battalion. To: A. F. and ich, Conn. Subject: Acknowledgment of receipt of piano, rolls and stool. My Dear Mr. Libby: As no doubt you learned from my telegram, the piano, rolls and stool arrived, all in good condition with the exception of a few scratches which were due to the fact that the box was | broken in transit, and the broken ends | souged out a little of the varnish in| four places. The box of 42 rolls ca yesterda st in time to help were not fortunate enough to draw a pass in the lottery to make merry this Christmas. There also arrived at the same time | with the piano that inexplicable thing which gives it its ‘real value—the knowledge that our home folk are standing behind us to the limit, and, further, it is the exemplification of not only brotherhood and friendship, which are numbered among the greatest gifts man can bestow on . but it also shows a true and sincere spirit of pa- triotic co-operation, for we realize that our parents and others connected with us want to have us acquit our- selves to the glory of old Norwich, and surely the treatment we haVe re- ceived is an inspiration to strive for greater efficiency so that we may not fail the good people of Norwich in their expectations. We cannot fail, and furthermore will not fail with such a force to impel us on. ‘We are justly proud of Norwich, for we have the best equipment and most decidedly the best piano there is in camp. We have not only entertained ourselves with it but it has been lis- tened to by most of the officers s well. All have expressed the opinion that it is an exquisite instrument. It is useless for me to attempt to con- vey to you the feeling thot prevails in our hearts, for words are too weak. ‘We can only repay the great debt of gratitude with the service we expect to render, and we certainly will be better fitted to undertake the great responsibility as a result of having had these things to hold us to the higher standard of living, to chéer us through some of the dark and perplex- ing stages of our present career, and to remind us that we have staunch friends, worthy causes and ennobling principle sto fight and to endure the turmoils of war for. T want especially to thank the girls of the Boston store, millinery depart- ment, and Mr. Coit for their help in starting the ball relling, in making cash contributions to me when I was in Norwich in .connection with the raising of the sund. ‘We realize that a ship is useless withdut a rudder, and so we cannot give enough thanks to you, Mr. Libby, and your associates on the soldiers’ and sailors’ committee. Your work can surely be entered upon the mili- tary records of Norwich's activity in tie war, and we can certify to the fact that it was not done in vain, With best wishes for your enjoy- ment of the season’s best, I am, Most sincerely yours, W.

The following notice regarding the enlistment of registered men in the Naval Reserve Iorce has been sent out by G. M. Marsters. lieutenant com- mander N. L. N. F. A general erroneous idea is afloat throughout the country to the effect that further enlistments in the navy are impossible due to the draft laws. The enrolling office has had consid- erable difficulty due to this misin- formation. In the last drive for re- cruits about 1,000 men were secured in an exceedingly short space of time. The largest number of men ever en- rolled in a single day was reached— 190. Now things are slacking up, due to- the false idea mentioned above. As many as 2,500 men are still desired in the Naval Reserve force in this dis- trict, and the widest publicity is de- sireq for this information. In an an- nouncenient from the war department, the fact that registrants may still en- list is' made clear.” The announcement reads as follows: “Section 151, S. S. R., does not prevent registrants who may be placed in Class 1 from enlist- ing in the navy or the marine corps after December 15 1917. A regis- trant who has been classified in Class 1 may enlist in_the navy if his lia- bility order number is such that he is not within the current, quota of his lo- ca] board under a present call. “All officers and enlisted men of the N, val Militiavand the Naval Reserve™ etc., ‘are_in the naval service’ of the United States. The provision of sub- paragraph (a) of Section 151 S. S. R., means that any registrant may enlist in the marife corps, or in the navy after December 15, 1917, upon presen- tation to recruiting officer ‘that his order number is so low (whether he be -in_ the deferred class or in Clas: 1), that he is not within the current quota of his Jocal board under a pres- ent ang existing call.
