McCann, pastor of St. Bridget's church, Manchester, former- ly of Norwich Town, has purchased a Liberty bond for $1,500.

For the first time in the history of the' United States the Italian flag has been flown from the flagstaffs of the country along with Old Glery. on Friday in commemoration of Italy’s entrance into the great world struggle on the side of the allies, the side of justice and righteousness. In Norwich the day was fittingly observed by the Italian-speaking pop- ulation, who displayed the flag and colors ‘of their native land. 1 evening there,was a street parade and mass: meeting at the town hall, where prominent American and Italian citi- zens addressed the large audience.

The ceremony was to have been performed by the Greek priest. She claims that she believed her marriage to the complainant in the case had been annulled and that she was free to marry again. In taking out her license, it was stated that she said she was divorced, as that was the nearest way she knew how to explain it. Late Friday night the man who en- tered the complaint called at the po- Yce headquarters and said he wanted parade.)
