William Eldridge. - The first letter to be received from any one of-1 ison’s soldiers who participated in the first onslaught of American forees agaifist the enemy lines, on the Chemin des.Dames, in France, where New snfi ahd infantry and artillery, as the first of the na- tion’s national guard' forces to figure actively in the front line, mdde a new record of glory for American arms late in February, has come to J. Harold Horton of the Attawaugan hotel from his brother, John Horton, of Battery rc, 103d field artillery. The letter brings home the fact that the young ‘men of this town are now playing historic parts on the far-flung ‘battle lines of northern France and breathes the spirit of confidence that will eventually make ‘the side for which the United States fights victor in the world’s greatest war. February 22, 1918. Dear Harold: ‘We are now at our place on the front and although we have only been here a short while, things have been pretty lively as well as interesting. You would be surprised to know how im- portant a part this camouflage busi- ness plays as regards the fleld artil- lery. The only way a battery can be located is by means of airplanes, and, believe me, when a battery is located by the Boches it is knocked for a field al. 2 Don't think for a minute that the Boches don’t get pictures of us, be- cauge they do; and not from-a very great height, either. The other day a Boche plane swooped down so near our place that we couid hit it with a stone, almost." The Boches have two black crosses painted on their machines and their motors run very unevenly, just like the old Buick back home when you start her up on a cold morning. They say the gasoline the Germans are using is very poor—probably diluted because of scarcity of the commodity. An enemy plane fell ten miles back of our lines, near our echelon, the other day, and one of our horseshoers got the camera off it. Can you imagine the ememy using a Premier American-made camera? They have them on their aeroplanes; also some of their anti-aircraft trucks, mounted, are made in the United States. The Ger- mans Americanize all they can in their military ideas and supplies and, be- lieve me, they'll know us better before long. 1 have picked up all kinds of relics, mostly in captured German trenches Practically all of the ground now oc- cupied by the American forces on the front where we are located was for- merly held by the Boches, so you can imagine the condition of the country we are in. ‘We see air fights every day. Some sport! The Boches occasionally shell the locality of our battery with shrapnel, but if the shells don't land within twenty feet or so of Where we happen to be, we sit and watch them burst. You see, it is like this: If the first shot lands on us, why it counts; otherwise, we can get under cover in a minute. 8 The company to which Sergeant Carl Anderson (also of Danielson) is at- tached is near here, but I can't get away to see him or any of thé other Danielson boys who are in the same regiment. My section was the first national guard heavy artillery organization to fire a_shell at the enemy on this sec- tor. In fact, our battery was the first to get into action, of all the batteries in the regiment. This is the best honor that can be bestowed upon a battery. My position in our gun crew is No. 4, and I rammed home the ghell first to go over the lines of the en- emy. Now it seems that there is no need of my letter being deleted by the cen- sor, because you read practically the same things in magazines at home. This is considered tres bon papier Francais; anyway, it's the best they offer us aver here. Will tell you more in_my next letter. Love to mamma and you all. As ever, JOHN. The arrival of Private Horton's let- ter indicates that more such will fol- low almost immediately from Daniel- son seddiers who figured in the fight- ing en the Chemin des Dames sector about a month ago. Relatives and friends here have been without direot messages from them since they first went_to_the front line, but that the men have escaped injuries is indicated by the casualty lists that appeared up to Saturday. NO MORE MOTOR WARNINGS. Automobile Drivers Must Obey Laws Without Individval Cautions. Ralph C. Young, deputy inspector of automobiles, said Saturday that no more warnings. are to bg issmed to motorists relative to obeying rules that have been laid down for their ob- servance. Hereafter, drivers who are found violating reghlations that arc parts of the motor vehicle laws of the state are to be arrested and presented in_cosrt. The period for warnings has passed, for experience. has shown that, with many drivers, warnings are forgotten almost as soon as given. A fine in codrt may make & deeper impression 2t |upon the memory. Some of the oft-repeated violations that are to be punished hereafter by arrests are: Driving rapidly past " |standing troliey cars; overioading jit- iney vehicles beyond the allowed pas- senger-carrying capacity; driving trucks. without mirrors that will al- low the drivers thereof a view of the highway to the rear; driving without proper lights; driving without a li- cense, etc., etc. The campaign. of warning is over. The period of punishing drivers for wilful violations of the law is at hand. TQ OUTFIT MEN.

There was 22 1-2 feet of water. in the big standpipe on Oak Hill, this amount just half filling the big ‘container. Special Speakers at Baptict Church. Dr. William Chapman of Hartford and Rev. Lr. Peter C. Wright of Hartford, formerly of Norwich, were the speakers at the services at the Baptist church Sunday, Dr. Wright speaking at th eevening service, The meetihg of the church takes .place this evening, and the hope has been expressed for a large attendance, which will indicate interest in the prosper- ity of the church and in its part in making the war work suceessful.

Persons in charge of special work connected with movements that are an aid to winning the war are beginning to encounter 2 sfowed-up enthusiasm for committee work among groups of persons who have rendered valuable service in the past. Bxcuses of the pressure of other work are offered as a general rule. In the meantime the war is far from won and Uncle Sam’s soldiers and sailors are not lying down on the job. A whole-hearted response and unrestricted enthusiasm is being hoped for from all who will be asked to join in the drives to make siccess- ful the third Liberty loan and the sec- ond Red Cross campaign.
