Swan Co. is directed to pay com- pensation to Mrs. Annie Holmes of 2. John - street, widow of Robert H. Holmes, from March 29, 1918, to the date of the hearing and also weekly thereafter at.the rate of $6 per week for 312 weeks, as well as settle med- ical expenses and pay $100 for funeral expenses. The hearing was held to determine whether the death of Mr. Holmes was due to an injury received or to the grip condition that preceded his death. The testimony of the attending physi- cian clearly established that an in- jury received on Jan. 12, 1917, with resulting confinement and bone necro- sis, was the primary cause of death. Mr. Holmes had his left ankle broken while at his employment at the garage of the Swan company. WHO HAS ITALIAN FLAG FOR POSTMASTER? To Fly From Post Office Flag Staff on ltalian Day.

All the workers in the campaign are giving their best efforts to perform the tasks that have been assigned them, and just as the greater part of the Red Cross service is essentially a woman'’s service, so the drive as plan- ned for this district is essentially a campaign by the women of Norwich and vicinity, and any honor which may be derived from its successful termination must be given to those self-sacrificing women who as mem- bers of teams and in many other ‘ways are giving freely of their time and -energy in this work of mercy. Reports from various sources on Tuesday night showed a total of at least $13,832 at the end of two days of work, and there was more money that had been received but not yet counted. Band Concert Tonight. Plans for tonight's Red Cross benefit band concert, which is to be held at 7 o'clock promptly on Chelsea Parade, are practically completed. The Colum- bus Italian band expects to have its full membership of 30 present in uni- form ang participating. Many favor- able comments have been heard upon the fine spirit of patriotism so gener- ously shown by the members of this band, ond a large attendance is ex- pected at the concert. -The walks and intervening grass plots will provide ample space for those on foot and ad- joining streets will afford parking fa- cilities for automobiles. It is expected that the town will have the grass cut before night and the public works department of the city will erect the bandstand in the center of the Parade, while the police will see that order is vreserveq and all are given a good opportunity to hear the music. The following have kindly volunteer- ed to furnish their automobiles to transport the band: Alderman William H. Allen, Henry F. Parker, Archibald Mitchéll, Dr. William 'W. TLeonard, John Porteous, Lucius Briggs, John L. Mitchell and Mayor Allyn L. Brown.

One of the most effective talks of the campaign vet was made by Manag- er Al Craig from the stage of the Da- theatre, when he told of two bare- ieaded ragged newsboys, who poured out their day's receipts of pennies in- to his hands to be contributed to the Red Cross. It wasn't much, said Mr. Craig to the audience, but it was all they had, and was a lesson to many a more able giver. The two. bovs were proud iittle fel- lows, when Mrs. Farrell saw to it that they had their buttons just as if they had been contributors of a much larg- er amount. Summary.

The Marlin-Rockwell Corporation in this city have set out to raise $3000 for the Red Cross fund and so far they have secured $1900 from the em- ployes. Some of the employes have given a day’'s pay others have con- tributed more and there are yet some who have not given to this worthy cause. The New Haven branch of the corporation which employes over 1500 more hands has set out to raise only $35Q0. At the Franklin street plant on Tues- day noon two fast boxing bouts were staged for the benefit of the fund. The first bout was between Young Bob Fitzsimmons, a lanky red topped youth, and Battling Siegal of New Ha- ven. The boys fought three fast three minute rounds. The other bout which was a slug- ging match between Chic Brown of New Haven and Kid Davis of Phila- delphia was full of action, both boys fighting at top s'peed The advantage was with the New Haven lad. Between the bouts Capt. Doughert: head of the welfare work of the Ma lin-Rockwell plants gave a short talk in which he made a stirring appeal for the Red Cross. He also referred to the past liberty loan campaign say- ing that the employes of the Marlin- Rockwell plants had subscribed $347,- 000, which is at the rate of $113 per capita. Capt. Dougherty also stated that the Marlin-Rockwell company had beaten out the Winchester company by many thousand of dollars and that they had made one of the best show- ings of any factory in the country. The boxing bouts were refereed by Luke Riley and Charles Lavage was time keeper. RODE MOTORCYCLE INTO GROUP OF MARINES, James O’Brien of Washington Street Badly Hurt—Soldier Has Leg Broken.

McCall Describes War Conditions to Norwich Auxiliary. The Norwich auxiliary of the McCall Mission in Paris held a meeting at the Park church pdrlsh house on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Catherine Crocker presided, reading a short selection from the scriptures, after which Rev. G. Ewing offered prayem We Stand, a patriotic, forceful song, was then given by the double quartette of the Girls’ Glee club, after which, as is the cus- tom of the auxiliary, the hymn Amer- ica. the Beautiful was sung. Miss Crocker then introduced as the speaker of the afternoon Reginald L. McCall, just returned from France, who spoke in a delightfully informal way of what the McCall Mission is doing for the soldiers and their fami- lie¢ during these strenuous days. The aim of the mission is always the same, though its methods neces- sarily vary. When the war came, many of the regular helpers being called to the colors, the others have had to adapt themselves to the chang- ing conditions. Added to the extra duties, war work, soup canteens, etc., there was the problem of the mothers who needed to be supported by the courage of others, and these women all leaned greatly on the mission, at- tending the little churches set up here and there, finding strength and bravery to bear whatever might come. The problem of the children has been a heart-rending one. Fifty war orphans, whose names were sent out by the mission, have been adopted by American friends. Mr. McCall put in a special plea for the broken Ilittle lives which have never had a child’s real chance of happiness, the tiny refugees who are passed from one place to another, mentioning several families which had come under his special notice. Although doing its full part with the refugees, perhaps the mission’s greatest field is with the soldiers. It is fine that our soldiers are go- ing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the French. The American boys in France have made a fine impression. Courigsby Donson describes them as the “finest looking bunch of fellows You r saw, looking as though taey are here for 30 years.” As» an evidence that there is no secular feeling aniong the Protestants and Roman Catholics. Mr. McCall told of an :nteresting morning at “church parade”’ where after service 50 soldiers were buptized by their priest or parson to whichever church each man belong- ed, the two colonels standing as god- fathers for ‘the whole of them, which was taking some responsibility on their shoulders, surely. He gave praise to the wondarful work of the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A At the close of this most interest- ing address the girls’ double quartette sang very sweetly the stirring music of the “Marseillaise," and then Mr. McCall added further to the pleasure of the several of the Ch.lnwm des Poilus, or the songs which the French soldiers liked him ‘give them on his little folding or- which he carried with him through the French camp and canteens. Mr. Mc€all observed that the whistling habit had often proved a useful one a whistled tuneful obligato to the music he drew from the piano keys. Ther: were marching songs, stirring and full of fine and pretty little Chanson de Lille, a characteristic Breton foik song, and a martial mel- ody, cailed Marche Lorraire, including a typical little French dir, Asec Mes Sabots, which was especially charming Mr. McCall came here from Boston and will speak in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The girls of the Academy who com- pose fhe double quartette are the Misses Canty, Tirrell, Pullen, Crowe. Coughlin, Scrivener, Sullivan, arnd Norton. Their piano accompaniments were well played by Miss Olive McKel- vey. Before the meeting adjourned, Mrs. Channing H. Huntington reminded those present of the services to be held in honor of the French soldiers, at the Norwich Town burial ground on May 29th. On acwunt of the unusual privilege of having Mr. McCall as the speaer all the business of the afternoon was waived until further notice. Gifts to John McCann. | Fellow employes of John McCann of 119 High street presented him a com- fort kit and safety razor at the Mar- lin-Rockwell shop where he has been employed as a grinder. He is leaving for Attleboro, to be included in that town’s quota for the army call. Street Lights Failed.

They are AMERICA'S SELF-SACRIFICE. going short, they are going hungry, for our sakes. They are practising A Moral Demonstration. an intimate self-sacrifice in order that we may hold our own till their sons come to fight at our side. All over America the individual American citizen is making this self-sacrifice, and making it without a murmur. He is feeding, by his personal self-sac- rifice, not only these islands, but France, Italy, and many of the neu- trals. This great demonstration of charac- ter has had no other impetus than the simple declaration of the facts by Herbert Hoover, the man who fed Bel- gium. Hoover has told his country- men how things stand. That is all. The winter of 1918, he declared to them, will prove to mankind whether or not the American nation “is capa- ble of individual self-sacrifice to save the world.” His progaganda has never descended to umworthy lewels. He has appealed always to the conscience of his countrymen. He has spoken of a “personal obligation upon every one of us towards some individual abroad who will suffer privation to the extent of our own individual neg- j ligence.” America has answered this appeal in a manner which marks her out as one of the greatest moral forces in the world. It should be known out here, in the farm-houses and cottages of the American continent, that the peo- ple of this country, tightening their belts and confronting the future with an indestructible confidence, are ming- ful of America’s self-sacrifice, and are grateful to her men and women, and children for their self-sacrifice —self-sacrifice which will save the world.—Harold Beghie in The Londtm Chronicle.

It is action on a gigantic scale, and vet of a directly personal character. Insufficient publicity, I think, has been given to this action. Is it realized by the people of this country that America has already saved us from capitulating to the enemy? Either we should have been forced into surrender (with our Armies unbroken and our munitions of war unexhausted) or we should at this moment be struggling to live-and work and fight on one-third of our present rations.

And the rite is performed by men, women, and children, at every meal of the day, day after day, week after week. The Cheerful Giver. This act of self-sacrifice, let us re- member, is made in the midst of plenty. Well might the American housewife ask why she should deprive her children of food, why she should institute wheatless and meatless days, when all about her there is a visible Superabundance of these things. Questions such as this are natural lantic - and on the other side of the American continent, though 5,000 miles away from the battlefields of France. But the citizens of America do not ask. such questions. With a cheer- fulness and a rourage which are as vigorous as their industry, and with a
