WOUNDED IN ACTION Telegram From Washington Congern- ing Ernest L. Butler—Bay Be Mis- take. Mrs. Walter Butler reéceived a tele- gram from Washington, C. Sat- urday afterncon, that her son, Ernest L. Butler, had been severely wounded in action, March 17. Thig telegram caused consternation until Mrs, Butler remembered that she had received a letter from heér son written April 19, and at that date he was all right. It was thought that there was a mistake in the date, and Mrs. Butler at once got into communication with Washington by telegraph and inquired about the date. The reply came that it was March 17, as stated on the telegram. The date on the telegram is the date that Private Butler was gassed, and the extent of his injuries may have been mixed up. In a letter ‘to his mother dated April 18, Butler writes from a hospital, and says that he has been examined for effects from the. gas attack and found to be prime form. so he will leave the next day to return to the trenches. He suffered a severe gas attack, for he twas in the hospital foun weeks. No notice was received at the time that he was gassed. so the mistake is prob- ably in the telegram. Private Butler is the mechanic of the 102nd infantry and while Com- pany L was quartered at the Willi- mantic armory, waiting to be called for service he built the brick piers in front of the armory, as the boys spent most of their spare time im- proving the armory Droperty.

Life, customs and experiences of the trenches were described for the large audience whith crowfied the state armory Saturday evening, when Private William J. O'Neil, fresh from the front, explained, and showed the different trench appliances. Mayor Gates was chairman of the meeting, and the speakers included Judge Ed- ward L. Smith of Hartford. and At- torney William L. King of thsi city. After the meeting had been opened, prayer was offered by Rev. Father T. F.“Bannon. Mayor Gates expldined the patriotisth of the American peo- ple brought them together for such meetings to do things, and this meet- ing was to help the American Red Cross. Private O'Neil, of the 101st Machine Gun -smpany. when introduced. ex- plained that his reason for speaking at the meeting was to impress the people with what is going on, and to give a message from the boys in the trenches hy means of the graphic story of life at the front. He had on the uniform whecih he explained he had worn in the trénches and had his pack, ‘steel helmet and gas mask, which he exhibited. He explained that the zas menace is a terror to the American soldier. If you can holl your breath while putting the mask on, in gas tefritory. he said, there, there ig no danger. The men some- times have to sleep with the muasks He told of his first few days n ithe trenches. The bovs arrived by au- tomobile in the night., and after set- ting up the machine gun. returnzd to their dugouts after two men had been detailed to stand watch all night. He narrated how they waited in the zun- pit during a bombardment. On the third night they had the range of the German trenches. American soldiers are the best sol- diers in the world (Applause). But they have too much pep, and when they are taught war as a scientifiz zame, victory will eome soon. “Stick with us, and we'll bring victory. Con- centrate everything for America, and vietory is ours,” he said. Judge Smith of Hartford Heard. After a short introductoin Judge Smity asked the nudience, “Are We Cownhearted?” and got a loud “ % for an aswer. He said that a civilian had no right t6 ma a speech on the war unless his words are to be changed into actien, that such men Gunner O'Neil should do the speak- B America has pledged everything in this war, and there will never be any libe: or peace on this earth until German militarism is crushad. Amer- entered this war to make justice evail. TUnfortunately the path to peace must be paved with the bones of the dead and the pity of it is that some of them must come from Wil- limantic, The essence of patriotism is willing sacrifice, either in the service, or in other wavs. Men give their lives wothers their sons, and we are ask- ed for money merica i= the hope of the worid, and the only hope. In the names of the living God, this war must be won. and in the name of that God, it will be won.” Distinguished Syrian Speaks. Hon. Alexander Assad. editor of Humanity, a Syrian paper of TFa'l ver, was next introduced. Mr. As- sad said that when he arrived in this city he found that the Syrians were all busy, working for the Red Cross as they are al all plaees. The Svrian has heen under the heel of the Turk, and the present war is the chance thev have been looking for. Willimantie Svrians are doing their duty, three of them having enlisted from this citv. One of them. Fred Haddad, gave his! life for America. | He then gave Chairman Gates a sum of money for the local chapter of the Red Cross. which had heen con- tributed to the Willimantic Syrians. Address by Attorney King. Attorney William A. King of this the next speaker, thought that ilians should not speak on the war, when they have the real thing present (laying hig hand on the shoulder of Gunner O'Neil). Two years ago, 1 did not believe America should plunge in- European war, but I am of a different opinion new. If the Rritish, Freneh or American lines fail in France, you | can say gb6od bye to Liberty for the next generation! The British retreat is not disastrous. Napoleon said “The British lose every battle except the last one.” 1 wrote part of my speech after hearing the former speakers, and allow me to read it. (Mr. King then read a check for $50 from him for the Red Cross. He explained that it was not much, but hoped that others wouid | #ive checks that would make his look “like a German dollar after the Ger- mans are defeated”). What have the mothers given? Won't you heip them with their burden? Every mite that you give to the Red Cross backs up the boys in the trenches! he declared. The meeting was brought to a close after the singing of The Star Span- gled Banner. The Liberty Chorus sang several inspring songs. Three Calls For Brush Fire. The engine company was called out three times Saturday afternoon for a brush fire on High street. in the rear of the home of John C. Barstow.

A correspondent who may have some lurking faith in astrology writes to ask: “To the Editor of The Sun—Sir: What is the best month to be born in? “Danbuyry, Conn., May §.” There is no indication that the month of a man's birth has any bearing on his business Caesar and Napoleon were born in midsummer, in July and August, respectively, but Grant’s birth- day was in April and Lee’s in Janu- ary. Pershing was born in September. ShaKespeare was born in April, Cer- vantes in October; Thomas Hardy in June, Booth Tarkington in July. Let us see whether the birth month has aught to do with advanced years and distinction. Here i8 a list of a dozen Americans in which the young- est, John Burroughs, is past 81.
