Fritz |bears from us oceasionally, however, Ihe never fails to retaliate on ‘dough-boys,” as the infantry are call- ed. Ordinarily we are quite a dis- tance off behind the lines, as is prac- tically all of the artillery. fire. Have been myself several times. {We ran into a little affair with snip- ers onme time, but pulled out safely: T picked a copper bullet %out of the 'pommel of my saddle upon our return. | Another bullet clipped a_ rein off’ the {horse in front of me. It turned out \that we wers off the path and too near ithe front which makes up into No Man's Land. Two of “them” were up in the trees. Their bullets were al- most spent when they reached us. !Both snipers are now dead, for they gave away their positions to us—and Springfield rifles are both accurate and far-reaching. xt time I will be a bit \careful. Shrapnel flies much of the time, but we are well protected. Our battles are constantly in pro- gress on clear days. A “boche” came down near our front a week ago.

Cold“Storm Friday. Danielson peopie awakened -Friday morning to find the town blanketed with 2 brand of .sleety snow, tg the depth ‘of more than an inch, and the northeast storm that had been rag- ing for three days still on the job as it- continued to be throughout Friday. This unexpectedly cold storm has put a complete stop to the preparation of the soil for the season's crops, a work that was well underway the early part of the week. Morin Avenue Improvements. A considerable amount of landscape work is to be .done this seasson on Morin avenue, the ‘new thoroughfare opened at Industrial place last ' year and since vractically .built up. A force of men is now engaged in the work of preparing the way for setting out several rows of white birches along this street, which, when com- pletely developed, will be one of the prettiest residential streets in Daniel- son.

Bill was arrang- ing Friday for his inquest relative to the railroad wreck at - Pomfret in four trainmen lost their lives morning, another , & member of the' wrecking crew, being killed. during -the early evéning of the same day. Tt is likely that the inquest will be held at the superior court room in Putnam next Tuesday, but the date had not been definitely fixed Friday. Bohemians Good Losers. Though they lost the tournament, the members of the Bohemian club were enthusiastic Friday over the fine com- radship and good sportsmanship mani- fest throughout the meetings with the teams and members of Putnam lodge of Elks, of which many of the Bohe- mians also are members. It is prob- able that the first series of tourn- ments will lead to others and may be- come an annual event. The Bohe- mian playvers made a. satisfactory z in the final set of games maLmz a few. of the points they had lost in the earlier meetings. Concluding Pastorate. H. N.

The cla‘mant’ for .damages was not seriously injured. The Workabit club holds its last ses- sion of the season today, adjourning then until October. Boy Gets Two Pound Trout. ‘While others, much more expert, possibly, fish with extreme care the best trout brooks in the country, a youngster of a dozen vears, out after dace, catches t two-pound trout from the Quinebaug river within the limits of the borough. _Still Short of Coal. The Danjelson and Plainfield Gas and Electric company continues to be up against a, coal shortage and:’one day this week was practically. out of coal. A new 400-horsepower boiler has arrived at the Plainfield plant and is to be installed in the near future. » John W, Kennedy, who recently un- derwent an operation for appendicitis at the St. Vincent hospital in Worces- iter, has so nearly recovered that he is experted to retyrn to his home here tomorrow. _ Members of the Pentecostal church held a cottage prayer meeting with Mrs. Frank Hill Friday evening.

This work was watched with interest by spectators who have been regu- larly watching-the -clearing away of | the wreckage. Some of the cars that were off ‘the -track have been lifted | back onto irmicks and also are ready | to be taken away. One big steel coal car that had a great bulge on one| side was subjected to the torch treat- | ment and the bulge section'cut out. | A Tedious Storm. An April snowstorm was the gift of | weather man to Putnamites on Friday morning. It wasn't a gift that drew much enthusiasm—but there it was and the best had to be made of it. Throughout the day a mixture of | rain, snow and sleet continued to add | to the accumulation of white stuff that i was upon the ground. It was re- called by some who had gardens last | spring that a snowstorm came after potatoes were planted,- but later re- | sults showed that the cop was net damaged. g Elks' Elated Winners. | Members of Putnam lodge of Elks were well pleased with the results of their whist, pool-and billiard tourna- | ment with the Bohemian club of Dan- | ielson. The Elks won the tournament by a margin of 111 points and the silver trophy cup that was offereq to the victors. The tournament served to make closer the relations between the two, organizations and the many members of them that represent the two towns and was altogetzer a very satisfactory series. Incidentally sev- eral’ members of the Bohemians have applied or will soon apply for mem- bership in the Elks, In' which order numbers of the Danielson men al- ready are listed here. Saving Five Tons of Flour a Year. It is announced that the . Putnam inn, of which E. C. Rogers is pro- prietor, is saving about 200 pounds of flour a week as the result of using fifty per cent. of wheat substitutes. The bread and biscuits that are be- ing served are excellent in every re- spect, although somewhat darker than when only wheat is used in making them. - The wheat saving being made at the hotel amounts to 10,400 pounds a year, o nthe basis of 200 pounds per week, or more than five tons of flour to be saved in twelve months, a goodly amount in these days of world- wide wheat shortage. County Town= Keen For Loan Suc- cess. The second -week of the Liberty loan drive in the Putnam district starts today ang the drivei will be pushed forward with even more vigor than has marked the work during the first week. Two towns of the district —Pomfret and Woodstock—already have gone ‘over the top, exceeding thc apportionment of subscriptions allot- ted to them. A report that Thomp- son also has gone over the top is looked for today ang there is a fall- ing that with united effort Putnam also will be enabled to meet the heavy apportionment that has been given it. Honor flags, it now appears, will be won by every town in this district, if the pace at which subscriptions are being secured can be maintained. Rev. A. 8. Bishop to Preach. Rev. A. S.

I like the work very much and after I have been here a few days I think it will be quite intdresting. “No doubt you know I ‘!.:L\a been up to the actual front on the firing line and under fire.

I was lucky enough to see a couple of ‘Hun machines brought down. It is quite wonderful to watch an aeroplane and see the stunts they. do- in order to escape the bursting shells. T watched an aMied aviator dodge Hun shells for an hour d they surely did fire and waste shells on' him. “The'fire of the Huns is no good. They cannot begin to shoot with the allies, so probably, and undoubtedly, you will read in the pa- pers some fine morning of the defeat of the kaiser’s army. It.is bound' to come in time.” — PETER BENARES DEAD Framoter of Athletic Events Week With Pneumonia. n a Peter Benares died from pneumonia at his home on Batty street, Friday about noon.
