Certain city officials are making an effort to have the streets of Norwich patrolled by a guard from the sub- marine base at the navy yard, is thie rumor which has been in circulation for some days now. An attempt to verify the rumor was made Friday night, but no one seems to know just who is at the head of the movemest. One city official said Friday night that he believed the idea is a good one. New London has long enjoyed such aid from the government, and if Nor- wich is accorded the same considera- tion it will save the necessity of en- larging the local police force to a strength capable of handling the con- stantly increasing number of visitors from our land and naval forces. It bas been found by practice in other cities that a guard composed of mem- ilitary forces Des better success in handling their comrades in arms and exerting a quieting influence upon them than the local policemen, toward whom the men in uniform claim to owe no obedience and show a marked tendency to antagonize. If the city and the local police depart- ment obtain the assistance of the au- thorities at the base there is every opportunity afforded for a better un- derstanding and more effective han- dling of the problem confronting us through the union. “But what are we g base won't help tal men?” i g to do if the care of its.own e question being asked e about the rumored un- That is a difficult question Norwich generally does the occasion arises, but we are quite as liable to act a day late as early. Can there be any question in_the mind of a thought- ful . resident that irrespective of whether aid is obtainéd by way of a sailor patrol or not that the local po- lice force should be increased? asked a city official. Continuing, he said: “It is an era of preparedness -and in dts present condition our police kforce is not prepajed to handile the in~ creased demand maade upon it by in- creased circul: of our own and neighboring towns.

A place as immense as this tan hardly expect to get away un- scathed but I guess they’ll find us. ready and waiting for them when they come. How long I shall be here, I do not know, This branch of the ser- vice is only in its infancy and at pres- ent._the organization is in a process of evolution and it may e some time before we get definitely settled down to our real work in this. war. Many times I fing myself with a healthy de- sire to be back in the infantry, the thing I was trained for and would feel more at home in. “We have very little to do here except take our turn as ccmmander of the guard occasionally. The men are working under the di- rection of the construction officers, setting up hangars and such things. Acroplanes are continually. in the alr and it sure is a great sight to see 2 number of them. going through stunts and manoeuvres. There is one overhead now and we always stop to teke a look at this particular bird w ® gy e 4 ANTISEPTICPOWDER GIENE because he 1s a wonder. He uses a monoplane and you should see some of the stunts he pulls. He gets away up in the air, shuts off his motor and does a tail-syin which from the ground looks as though he were going to crazh to earth, but after a few com- plete ps you hear the old engine hum again and he straightens out and sails away. It's wonderful what they can do in their machines now. The other night when Paris was raided word came thgough they were headed for this place. ¥ shenid have seen us take care of this squad- ron as soon as the warning was séund- ed. We got them out in no time and everything ‘was as orderly as going out to a -rill this army of ours and you can bet your bottom dollar that the boches will change their minds about our being a bunch of tin soldiers. We have a lot of drafted men right here with us and after the first few weeks of army life they are as good soldlers as you will find any place. If everybody cnly knew what the army does for a man there wouldn't be any trouble about raising Bryan’s “a million oveér night” And any young fellow who loses out and doesm’t get a ehance to have this- training is missing a biz thing in his life. I know I wouldn't sacrifice the opportunity for a great deal. And I am especially glad that I got some good old Doughboy training to_begin with. ‘We sent the mess sergeant into town yesterday to get us a goose which we had for dinner and it sure was fine eating. Masheq potatoes, gravy, goose, fried onlons, and apple pie was what we had today—but not every day. We get more than our share of corned I have great faith im| beef and salmon but a good meal makes us appreciate it when it comes cur way. ‘Well, this is about all for the pres- ent. Give my love to all and if there is anybody you want me to write to from over here just let me know and Ill do my best. Take care, of your- self and let's hear from home. Your loving son, JOHN.
