DANIELSON AND DANIELSON Letter From Private Henry G. Gil- | bert Indicates Spirit of American Troops—Dog Causes Scare — Polish Reoruits Called For — Scheme to Provide Funds For Brooklyn Red Cross—Kenneth H. Hamilton to /Enlist in Arm Private Henry G. Gilbert, who was wounded recently while fighting ‘in France as a member of a New Eng- land artillery regiment, writing to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Gil- bert, of Broad street, tells in the most interesting letter that has come from Danlelson soldier -who- is fighting ‘over there” of the experience of be- ing wounded. The magnificent spirit that is a guarantee that America will win in this war, a spirit characteristic of the American troops, runs through the letter, which follow: Somewhere in France, April 9, 1918, Dear Mother:—Here Is a fine “to do.” I am in a hospital. I was “got” by a “whiz-bang”—one of those shells you can’t héar until it's almost upon you. One can hear the big fellows toming and has 15 seconds to duck into a shell hole—but the whiz-bangs allow but a scant two seconds. Well, the first orie hit a couple of ards behind me and knocked me head-over-heels into a ditch. There I stayed until the mess was over. When 1 picked myself up. I found my shoulder out of joint and a bit of a shell splinter in my leg. Now I am all fixed.up and expect to be on duty again in a very few days. Lucky, eh? Can't tell ‘'you what has happened to other of our men or the effect of other shells. But I think, perhaps, the censor will let this one incident pass, since there are no dates or places smuggled into the recital and since you would surely be interested in knowing what happened, in a gen- eral way, to your son. ‘We have experienced gas and, I guess, about all the Dutchmen could hand us—but they’ll have to do better than they have done if they break the American spirit! They aws wse half as dangerous foemen as wome try to picture them. The hospital Is fine, but, frankly, I would rather be “duckin’” ‘shells. Ev- eryone here seems to feel the same; there's a chap beside me with his ear blown off and his legs full of shrap- nel Tioles and he, even, dislikes the inactivity. It makes one seem to feel like a deserter to have the boys up there where they mever know when tiey will have to duck for their lives —and you going to a fine, white bed where ‘there's no mud and no shells and no danger. - I don’t like it. T'd rather hear the shrill whistle of a “whiz-bang”. fifty times than be fussed over hy a pretty young nurse whose gentle fingers and white. lined face remind me too much cf you! There's nothing much the matter with me, anyway. I tackle the doctor every time he comes around and ask him to let mé go back. Now he’s got €0 he walks away around the other side of the ward and just gri at me—son-of-a-gun.. If he doesn’t come through with the goods pretty soon, Il waylay him! The remainder of Private Gilbert's letter is of a_personal nature and he includes that he be remembered to his friends. This young soldier, still well under 20 years of -age, is one of whom Dan- ielson is very proud. An army made up of .boys like him mever could he beaten in’this world. L Small Dog, Big Excitement. A little dog, owned by Robert Pel- lerin, escaped from his home, at the corner of Franklin and - Furnace streets just -before 8 o'clock Thurs- day morning and within a very few minutes thereafter had succceded in stirring up 2 mild sensation and zai general circulation of a mad dog scare report Just what happened to the dog to make him act differently than he nor- mally, was in the habit of doing is not known, but, getting up on to Groad strect, he began to act queer- ly and exhibit some symptoms that are characteristic of dogs suffering with rabies. Finally he made his way on to the property of a Broad street resident and was promptly shot by Wellington E. Bitgood, a high school student. It is possible that the dog was suf- fering from o fit or some other af- fiiction, but the number of cases of rabies ‘that have heen developing in Connecticut during the past few months made the case a suspiclous one and stirred up a little flurry in the Broad street section for a few minutes. POLISH YOUNG MEN Being Urged to Enlist by Recruiting Officer Krayewski. Polish voung men of Danielson and vicinity who have claimed exemption or deferred classification under the ground that they are aliens are being urged by Sergeant S. J. Krayewski, who is recruiting in this section for the Polish army being raised in the United States and Canada and made ready for fighting in France. under officers of their own nationality, to enlist for sefvice. Serzeant Krayew- ski says this is the oni» exemption district in Connecticut from which volunteers have not been obtained. Sergeant Kravewski points out that the Polish residents owe a great deal to the United States and that they should come forward and offer them- selves for service in the. interest of this natlon, which gives them the splendid opportunities they are en- joying. The voung citizenship of Connecticut is moving forward to the Dattle lines and it is regarded as fully as incumbent upen the Polish young men here to come forward as the young men of their race are doing in every other section of Connecticut where the race is represented. Signed Contract For Chemical Truck. Chief A. P. Woodward of the fire department has received signed con- tracts from the agrave people for the big motor chemical truck that was authorized purchased last month at the annual borough meeting. The trick is to be built and equip- ped according to the &pecifications set forth in detail in the contract and will be “delivered some time during the fall, it is now expected.

Has - Furnished Total of 294 Men—Thirty to Be Called Soon For Physical Examination—Writ. of Error Filed in Union Block Case. The. annual ladies night entertain- ment of Putnam lodge of Eilks brought together here Thursday eve- ning a happy party that was splen- didly entertained by the ever generous and hospitable members of Elkdom. The members-and their ladies came from all the surrounding towns over which the local lodge nas jurisdiction | and -found awaiting them. an evening of pleasure that showed the attention that had been given to arrangements by_the committee in charge. From 8 to 10,15 there was dancing, to music by Fay's orchestra of Prov- idence. This dancing period was fol- lowed by an intermission during which a lunch was served. The mehu included lobster salad and the usual accessories, cake and ice cream. There were flowers for favors. Philips and McGowan, Boston, en- tertafners, delighted the party with some of the new ideas from the amusement world. After the entertainment dancing Wwas resumed and continued an hour after midnight. Sent to Jail. - Thomas Block, who has been em- ployed in Providence, was sent on Thursday morning from the city court by Judge M. H. Geissler to spend 30 days in Brooklyn jail. Block, who was charged with hav- -|ing beén intoxicated, was found sit- ting in the automobile of Dr. Mar- guerite Bullard, at the garage. He could not give'a satisfactory expla- nation as to how he happened to be there. He told Judge Geissler that he had come from Providence to Putnam in an automobile, but his story relative to this journey was not quite as clear as it might have been, though it seemed probable that Block is a com- Daratively harmless man. Polish Recruits Needed. Sergeant S. J. Krayewski, recruit- ing officer for the Polish army that is getting volunteers from Polish col- onles throughout the United States, was at the office of the local hoard and took a list of all the Polish young men whose names appear on the board’s records and who have claimed deferred classification on ac- count of being aliens. Sergeant Kra- yewski found that there are 36 such young men in the district made up of the towns of Putnam, Thompson, Killingly, Woodstock, Bastford . and Ashford, and he also made mention of the fact that not one volunteer for the Polish army has been obtained in this local hoard’s district, the only district in Connecticut of which this may be said. : Sergeant Krayewski's mission here is to arouse the Polish young men 6t eastern Windham county towns to align themselves with the military forces that are fighting for the ends for which the United States is now desperately engaged, that Poland may be restored and again take its place in'the world as a separate nation, backed by glorious traditions of the past. In the near future Sergeant Kra- vewski is to arrange for a recruiting rally here. Speakers will be brought to this city to address the . Polish young men instheir own language and it is hoped to arouse their patriotism to a desree that will result in the procuring of enlistments. Already mare than 20,000 for this Polish legion have been obtained in the United States and more than 15,- 000 in Canada. The battalions are being trained in Ontario and will see service overseas, fighting under the direction of the French government, which sponsors the formation of what is to be a wonderful fighting force. Sergeant Krayewski will labor in all of the towns in this vicinity to procure recruits for the service in which he has offered himself. Vol- unteers for this service will be train- led and officered in France by com- manders of their own nationality. TOTAL OF 294 MEN Furnished Federal Seryicelme Six Towns Since Last June., Figurés compiled at the office of the local board show that 294 men have gone into the fighting service of the United States from the selected ‘ser- vice lists of young men in the six towns since registration day, on June 5 of last year. This includes not only the men who have gone into the army through the operation of the selective service law, but also the registered men who have been given permission to_enlist in army or navy or who en- listed before permission was required. Remaining in Class 1 in this dis- trict are 144 physically fit men, gen- the same merciful ends, Mrs. S. I Frink of that place issued the’ fol- lowing statement Thursda There seems to be a question in the mind of some people as to how the funds for the War Relief Association arc obtained. The annual member- ship fee of course helps materially, but when it is known that about one hundred doliars is needed monthly to keep material on hand for the sweat- ers, socks, shirts, bandages, etc., which are of the greatest necessity to our sick and wounded boys, it will be plainly seen that somefhing must be done. So far the funds have been contributed mostly by out of town friends who have most generously Gonated money, worsted or cloth. Many of our village ladies spend one, two or three afternoons a week at the War room while those unable to get to the rooms are working none the less faithfully at home. The greater part of our work is sent di- rect to Mme. Duryea to France, whose grateful letters of acknowledgment make us feel that we-are indeed work- ing for a most worthy object. * It remained for our patriotic citi zen, William H. Clewley, to devise this novel plan. He is asking all who will, especlally the men, to join his Red, White and Blue club by giving one dollar or more a month %0 the War Relief Associations, He already has more will be added. It is planned to have at the semi-annual meeting of the War Relief pledge cards and it is hoped that these two schemes will give the treasurer a definite sum with which to carry on the work. Can Enlist in Navy. The local board has issued to Ken- neth H. Hamilton a certificate that will permit him to enlist in the United States navy. Mr. Hamilton formerly was a member of the old 13th com- pany, most of the riembers of which are now in France. Brevities. Danielson men attended a meeting of Putnam Chapter, R. A.

Red Cross work, which was con- siderably interrupted in this city by the taking of the quarters in the mu- nicipal building for a few days to permit the laying of a new floor, has been resumed. More workers are wanted for the sewing service and ev- phy- ery woman who wishes to do some- thing for the soldiers will find her opportunity at the chapter work rooms. Thirty Men to Be Called. The local board probably will in about 30 men within a few days to undergo physical examinations. The registrants in this sroup never have taken physical examfations by rea- son of the fact that their cases have been before the district hoard on ap- peal or sent up for consideration rel- ative to claims over which the local board has no jurisdiction, Another Delay in Union Block Case. Torrey and Geissler, attorneys for Christus Terzis, defendant in the suit brought by the Union Block company, to eject shim from a store that he is occupying, filed .a writ of error as a new step in the proceedings.
