ANOTHER NORWICH BOY & WRITES FROM FRANCE. Henry Pukallus Speaks in the Highest Terms of the French People. Robert McNeely, business agent for the. Norwich Central Labor union, re- ceived on Thursday an interesting let- ter from Henry Pukallus, who is with the 10ist U. S. engineers, American expeditionary forces, in France. ) Pukallus speaks in the highest terms| of the French people. He is seeing in his work a good part of France and says he likes “over there.” Mr. Pukal- lus says that in France war is every- thing, and everything else is secon- dary. He also says he is proud to e among the first to go across and wish- es to be remembered to all his friends, who are pleased to learn that he is well, has “good quarters, good eats, and is happy.” = AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.

One of the interesting features of the January meeting of Faith Trum- D. A. R, on Wednesday of the prize esshy itten by Robert Gale Noyes on The Influence of Wo- man in the Coloniés. ' This essay won the first prize-offered by the Connecti- cut State Soctety of Colonfal Dames, The essay which was read by Mr. Noyes- at his graduation at the N. F. A., is as follows: The study of the lives of noble wo- men and the share they have had in history is always an inSpiring one. Tt is ‘doubly so when one studies closely the lives of those women who lived for the making and the betterment of his own native land. Much he finds ot the noble, pure, and good, of worthy example, of lovable personality. Then heé realives how much honor is given to perpetuate the names of his fore- fathers, and yet how little history has given to the noble women who bore an equal share of their joys and sorrows, their burdens, and their hardships. We see the women of those stormy days of dissent, revolt, and separation, truggling bravely alongside the mcen against common foe and hardships of the wilderness—a noble struggle for a noble cause. i Undoubtedly the most arduous ard difficult ‘task was that of founding the colonies. The severe, though excel- lent- training gained thereby; gave man and woman alike courage and ability in developing those colonies: In the early history of the vegy first colony at Jamestown, no one played & greater part than thé Indian maiden —Pocahontas. The pretty story of her rescue of the founder, John Smith; is known to every Amerlcan. -Likex wise it is well known that only by the heip of a small band of noble wo- men was this same colony saved from ruin. The story of the homeless col- ony. the desire of the lonely men for companions, and. the purchase of the beautiful young wives from England for,one hundred and twenty pounds of tobacco is delightful. In the colony at Plymouth we find Tthe ideal type of woman as helpmate and companion. Here the romantic is-so' mingled with the historic that, at first, one seems lost in a maze of tangled fact and fiction. But one should remember that this very spirit of romance was the outgrowth of true, unselfish lives. Here are the immortal names of frail Bosc Stand- ish, the pride of the stern Captain Mary Chilton, and Priscilla, who caus- ed Jolin suth amazement and tempo- rary discomfiture by her famous leap- | year proposal—hardly becoming, one might ‘say, in -a decorous Pilgrata maiden—yet most pleasing withal. As an example of the frontier wo- man of those trying days—courageous self-reliant, and resourceful—the name of Hannah Duston will live forever in the annals of our country. She, when the pillage of Haverhill, killed every one of her captors, and, fighting to the last, yet remaining as it has been sald “essentially womanly,” effectett ~her escape. Amvther, though very differ- ent type of woman was Mrs., Thomas Hooker, who with great fortitude and courage aided in the settlement of Hartford, Connecticut. She, o ill to walk, was borne through the beau- tiful woods of the Cormnectieut valley on a litter. ~What spiritual help ste gave her husband in his difficult task of founding a new settlement more. than repaid for the physical ald she was unable to give. One sees this kind of wtman throughout the early years of our history—the firm, gentle Spirits unable to help in any materiai degree, doing mo- really definte work, vet stPengthening and sustaining the men by iheir constant encouragement This was such woman's share in the founding of our country. De Tocque- vills appreciated the characteristics of American women when he said, “If 1 were asked to what the singular pros- perity and growing strenzth of the fmerican people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply—to the su- periority of their women. Such a superior woman was found at Saybrook colony, occupying a most unique position; Lady Fenwick, wife of the man who established the col- ony—Colonel Fenpwick—was the only woman of gentle birth among the set- tlers. The poor woman wore her life away in voluntary exile, hoping and praying in vain for the arrival of ships which never came, bringing lords and ladies_from Engiand to the colony. Many were the women such as she, whose crowning love persuaded them to give u» the joys of a social life at home and follow their husbands to the |- new world for the sake of principles. Probably the woman who had the greatest share in the founding and de-, velopment of any one colony was Mar-) garet Brent of Maryland. She stands as the most vigorous and active force in the early history of that colony. To ‘her has been assigned the title of “the o| first Amerlcan suffragette.” a colonial advocate of woman's rights. She act- ually went before the assembly and demanded representation and the vote. ‘Although she failed, there is seen one of the first ‘moves in the transition period between the old and the new woman. Such upheavals and disturb- ances as had occurred in the middle observed the golden anniversary their wedding Wednesday in Prov dence. Mr. and Mrs. Arrold have a daughter, Mrs. J. D. E. Jones, and a &on, Franklin H. Arnold, of Brookline, Mass., and four grandchildren. Mr. Arnold, who was in the firm of Arnold & Maine, retired about 10 years He was born in South Kingston , 1834, Mre.

For im- mediately we find woman’s condition changing.

Had she lived fifty years later, she would hav held an enviable ,place of honor. The American of today owes more to’ unfortundte, ‘indiscreet Annz Hutchinson than to any other colonial woman, as far as freadom of thought I peech is concerned. Among these colonial dames are many charming characters who have too often. been left untreated. - The development of the social, literary and artistic life of .the colonies should be considered o less than their political life. ~ Political and soclal changes g0 hand in hand, and the one must be known to fully understand and appre- clate the other. One of the quaintest literary , world. of . those - days was Madam . Sarah. Knight, the colonial travéler. In “Jouznal” she has left us & vivid'acconnt'of her famous jour- niey from Boston to New York and of the perils’ shé - encountered. Among the poetesses of the’ -period, & gentle Anne Bradstreet, ‘“the Tenth Muse,” and Mercy Warren were well known in every colonial home. Abigail Adams holds an enviable reputation as a let- ter writer, and Hannah Adams, a little later, wrote a quaint history of New England, % Y period preceding: the Revolution and ng the struggle for indepen- dence was—as the Jast years of the Roman republic—a period of great names. For at that'time the develop- ment of ‘the colonies. as such was reaching its culmination, and man and woman alike grew ardent with the de- termination to preserve that for. which their fathers and grandfathers for over a century and a half had struggled. Until the énd of the separate colonies and the begianing of the union there grew up 4 line of heroes and heroines never surpassed: S Rriow with what readiness the women supported the poliey of resistance and such meas- ures as'were taken to effect it. Among the heroines of the war one finds such rtal names as Molly Pitcher, Lydia Darrat, the elever little eaves- dropper, Nancy Hart, and most curious of all, Deborah Sampson, who enlisted and fought disguised as a man. Mrs. Steele also. who gave the disheartened General Greene her two bags of sil- ver, stands as an example of the wom- en who saerificed éverything to the American cause—inspiring examples for the woman of today who owes so much to them. % Thus we see each plucky woman.in hose days gone by, playing her part, ether great or small, with all the might she possessed. “Surely the glory and strength of America today should be attributed as much to our fore- mothers as to our forefathers, ‘“the choice grains “sent-forth. into the wilderness,” who flourished by the grace of God. et ket WOMEN: COOPERATE o IN K. OF C. DRIVE Will Assist White Cross Council in Campaign For War Funds. , A number of the lady iriends of White Cross Councsil, No, 13, Knights of Colunfbus, held e meeting in the auditorium of the council chamber, Thursday evening to consider ways and means for assisting the organiza- tion in the campaign for war funds which is to take place the week of January 1ith. There was a large at- tendance of women and as the plans for the campaign. were. explained by F. T. Diegins, a member of the execu- tive committee, they became greatly interested” and -expressed themselves as being willing to help in any way that might be suggested. The meeting organized by electing Mrs. Mary T. Harriman chairman and Mrs. F. T. Diggins, secretary. After some dis- cussion it was decided that the ladies would provide the lunches that would e served every evening during the progress of the drive and committees were appointed for each evening of campaign week. All present were very enthusiastic regarding the movement and -it was _lecided to hold another meeting on ‘Tuesdey evening, January 8th, at which time the complete ar- rangements would be announced. In connection with the campaign it was decided to invite the various ore ganizations of the city to contribute and the following letters will be sent to all the societies of the town by General ‘Thomas . Beckley: Norwich, Conn.. Jan. 3, 1918. The Knights of Cojumbus, together with the Young Men's @hristian As- sociation and the Young Men's Hebrew Association, are the--three organiza« tions that the federal government has allowed within the confines of the va- rious cantonments, where those who have recently joined the service are Tssembled to receive military traine ng.

Ten thousand .dollars seems like a large sum, vet takem from the great heart: of Norwich, which has a popu- lation, of nearly thirty thousand, it‘is a modest sum for an organization rep- resenting over forty per cent. of the boys. who have entered, the service, to carry on the great work of providinz for the spiritual, moral, and physical welfare of those who have so recently been called to the front. The youth of Norwich, six hundred or rhore, who have already entered the service and whose names will b efound on the hon- or roll board, are giving so much more in comparison to anything that we who remain at home may he able to give, that we feel that the citizens of {Norwich will gladly respond to this call in as generous and prompt a man- ner as they have in the past, when called upon to render financial support to worthy war objects. The object of this letter is to take up that phase of the campaign work that has to do with organizations, and it is from this source that the execu- tive committee are counting upon a certain amount of financial co-opera- tien. 1t would appear to us that the time has now arrived when there is an opportunity for social and or- ganizations to render practica] war service, and to doubly prove their use- fulness in the community. We believe we can truthfully say that there is no organization, which is not, proudly pointing to its honor roll. This being true, it should be equally true that they take pride in contributing ‘toward the financial success of this campaign measure that has to do with service work. We are, therefore, asking you as an organization to take action towards appropriating a sum of money in keep- ing with the needs of this campaign, and within the financial ability of your organization. Please make alt checks pavable to the Knights of Columbus War Funad. X Yours respectfully, THOMAS H. BECKLEY, Chairman. K. of C.
