Greatness of Charles H. Davis’ Art. The last number of Art Notes from the Macbeth Gallery. New York, has this warm tribute to Charles H. Davis, the- distinguished artist who makes Mystic his home: ., “In the group of canvases eontrib- uted to our March exhibition by Mr. Charles H. Davis he has struck a new and very telling note. The pictures tkat most people associate with his name, white clouds over green hills, are missing, but in their place is something which, as we live with it, impresses us all with a feeling that here is something bigger, finer and deeper than he has ever sent to us before, The feeling is particularly inspired by the canvas ‘Gray Broth- ers’ reproduced here. Day by day in the exhibition it has made new friends and strengthened dld ones. In its impression of bigness it has come in our minds to hold a place with the very best in’ American- landscapes. “We have long regarded Mr. Davis as one of our biggest men, but we have never before felt it quite to the extent that we do now.” Temperance Cadets Parade, St. Patrick's Tierney Cadets held their meeting in Columbus hall on Wednegduy evening at 7.30, when the prepasutions were perfected for the Memorial Day parade.

Druggists. i o . Wallingford—A representative from the New England Exchange of Fire Underwriters' was in the borough a few months ago making a thorough inspection_of electric wires in places of business and public buildings. It will be astonishing news to learn that 400 defective connections were discov- ants in leaving their homes and vil- lages and reaching places of safety, and most of the time under shell fire. Members of the unit were within a few miles of thé advancing Germans. The women’ were warned to flee, but refused to leave the straggling refu- gees. The college women, when they did leave, helped drive the cows, goats, sheep and other domestic stock to- wards the rear. “We were just ten miles from the line when the offensive started” writes s Tlizabeth Bliss, of New York ecity, “and you cannot dream of the sound. Suddenly through a wonderful, almost summer evening stillness, came the shriek of a thousand guns. We all knew what it meant. Though we had fesred it for davs, it was no less terrible for that. By afternoon we knew that the Germans had hroken our iine. “Orders were rushed for us.to evac uate our village at once. Two of ous started out in a car to carry refugees from one village to. another further from the line. Never can I forget that sight. Old -women with their posses- sions on wheelbarrows, trudging along the road, little, children dragszed by their terrified mothers, every one wifh Hvestock, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. driving their cows and goats befors them, all rushing madly away from the flood of destruction pouring down upon them. “Shells weer bursting all around and air battles were constant. When the morning came the Boches were only five miles away, and we were warned to.move at once, but somehow we could not desert our villagers. We could not leave until every soul was out. It was the most sickening sight you can imagine. The roads were choked, part of the army in retreat, reinforcements coming up everywhere. ‘We rode up between the heavy Eng- lish artillery and the Germans. Eng- lish shells were whizzing over ‘our heads all the time. “The Smith women reached #heir camp at 11 o'clock at night to find %00 Rritish soldiers auartered there, so they took command of the canteen and served the soldiers with coffee and food. There was an anti-alreraft gun near the Smith unit shack, and every now and then it would break into a fit of coughing. The collegians took great pleasure in seeing one German airplane shot down.” The latest transfer of deeds of real estate recorded by Town Clerk Everett E.
