LETTER FROM BARBEAU Local Man, Believed to Be Germans’ Prisoner, Wrote April 8, A letter reached here Tuesday from Private Adelard Barbeau, G compan 102nd infantry, some time since offi cially reported missing in action, since April 20. Private Barbeau's letter was written on April 8 but had been de- layed in transit. The letter came to The Bulletin cor- respondent and is probably one of the last that Private Barbeau wrote be- issed after the action in d was under a riot of German fire. In his letter Private Barbeau ex- pressed-appreciation for The Dulletins that were regularly mailed to him and stated that he re-mailed them to other parts of France where Killingly boys are fighting against the Hun.

MASQN LOGEE OPTIMISTIC Writes From France to Cheer Friends at Home, Mason Logee, fizhtin; a member of the 10 written in France as Engineers, has a letter to Charles . Austin in which he telis of many things of local interest. & “I must n_you mnot to let this met on vour nerves” he writes. “There are many af home who take it altogkther too seriously: here I am right amongst it, and T think it is not half so bad as many at home $eem to think it is.” In another section of his letter Pri- vate Logee tells of meeting John Hor- ton, whose home is also here and who is in an artillery regiment, and of hearing from John Dowe and Henry Gilbert, other “Danielson boys, Who were pursuing their various duties on the same section of the front. Private Logee modestly mentions that he is wearing his. gold chevron, indicating six months of service in France, and that he is glad to be numbered among those who have s of hard work and lots of it, hut that it is all a great experience that he would not have missed for anything. Trial Run Planned. In the immediate future it was stated here Tuesday. one of the big freight cars to be used in the trolley freight service in eastern’ Connecticut will be given a test trip over the lo- cal_trolley line. When the service is established 1t will provide quick freight facilities by trolley from Worcester to New York, and it has heen stated that freight leaving here in the afternoon will be delivered in New York city the next morning. The use of trailers is also talked of for handling through freight. It has been held for several vears by observ- ers who know the territory that a splendid trolley freizht business can be built up between New London and Worcester, and at last a real test of this theory seems about to be made. The Providence-Danielson line is a good example of what there is in freight possibilities for trolley lines cperating in this section, and there is no apparent reason why the new route should not he a big business producer, for there is 'a more thickly populated territory along its right of way than there is on the Danielson-Providence route. CONTRIBUTIONS $7704.53 Danielson’s Quota Oversubscribed $2,- 700 and More Expected. Mrs. E. H. Keach stated Tuesday afternoon that the contributions re- ceived up to that time In the Red Cross drive conducted here from May 20, amounted to $7704.53, or in excess of $2700 over the quota allotted to the Danielson district. The oyer-subscription of better than 50 per cent. was highly pleasing to all of the Red Cross campaigners and may be looked upon. with satisfaction by all who aided in making the achieve- ment possible.

Contributions con- tinue to come .in, so $16,000 is not to be taken as the final figure for this district, which is making a record that will compare favorably in per- centage with any district in Connec- ticut, which has more than doubled the quota assigned to it.
