ARTHUR GIBBONS‘ SPEAKS ON EXPERIENCES American and British War Pictures Are Shown to Large Audience on Sunday Evening. Sergéant Arthur Gibbons of the First Canadian Epedition .te France made his first appearance at Loomer Opera House, Sunday evening, when American and’ British war moving pictures were shown. He spoke after the pictures were shown. The house was packed, and about three hundred people were turned away. He was introduced by Frank P. Fen- ton of the Willimantic Council of De- fense. Sergeant Gibbons served at the front two years and was wounded twice. He talked Sunday evening of German atrocities, He said that the United States is trying to educate their people to what Is going on “Over There” Many of us think that it is the kaiser, and the militarists, but the people are back of all of them. Reports have been recelved of cruel- ties beyond comprehension, which are doubted, but I haye personally seen some of these. In ¥France, England and Canada there are “kiddies” with hands and arms or limbs cut off so that they would never e able todfight Germany. In one French town we met a wo- man whose husband had lost his mind. When the Germans occupied the vil- ?xa. he. locked himself in a closet. he Germans caught his wife in the room near the closet and:treated her creully for two days, Because of what hé heard and saw, he lost his mind, and had he gone into the room, the; - would gl have - kmefl 3}3& .as is their custom. The Canadians are most feared by the ‘Germans. After the battle of Ypres two men of my regiment were found crucified on barn doors with bayonets. They were found before they had died. I lay behind the Ger- man lines for four days before I was attended to. I was spared only be- cause of my youth, once, a German private was on the point of killing me but he was prevented by his officer, I satv comrades, wounded, bayoneted by the Germans. By their surgery the Germans have crippled many men. Some operations they perform without _anaesthetics. They take out eyes, amputate legsand arms without cause. A friend of mine, who I met later in England was wounded and he was told that they did not have time to fix his wound, which was in the ankle, and that they would either shoot him or amputate the leg at the hip. He agreed to the latter. The men are treated horribly in the prison camps. When we returned we were clothed in rags. Many were Biing or cripp®d. Some had one leg longer than the other, the result of a German amputation or setting of a broken limb. An officer's arm was am- putated at the shoulder, with a wound in the wrist, to set an example to of- ficers. With this enemy who we are fight- ing, it Is not a question of who will win the war but a question of how tong it will take. The spirit of the men at the front is fine, in fact, most of them are having a better time than they would have in this country. - Brief Mention. Raymond Foy, a senior in_ thef com- mercial department .at the local nor- mal school, who is substituting at the Derby High school, was home over Sunday.

There was a large increase in the number of touring cars driven through the city Sunday. The weather was fine and the roads were in @ much bet- ter condition than in the past weeks, as few of the cars were covered with mud.
