There is an article in a popular magazine about John M. Browning, inventor of the Browning gun, which is being manufactured in Norwich by the Margn-Rockwell corporation, in which the author says: “Tall, slender, bald on top of his head, short gray hair; cleanly-chiseled ILittle stubby gray mustache; face a fascinating complex system of fine little lines, caused by attentively ex- amining small bits of mechanism; sixty-two years old—that, in brief, is a picture of the John M. Browning of today. In Hartford. Bridgeport, and New Haven, Connecticut, and in Osg- den, Utah, people are likely to speak of him simply as ‘Old J.

Ha is entitled to call himsel Sir John M. Browning. But the only effect this decoration had on him was to make him somewhat vexed when the news got into the Iocal papers. He looks no more like a knight than he does a matinee idol. He lives quiet- ly, and dresses plainly though neatly, and would rather let somebody else do most of the talking. Compliment him about his achievements, and he is quite likely to blush like a girl “Some ten years ago, in recognition of Browning’s pre-eminence as an in- ventor of firearms, he received an honorary decoration from Mr. Kaiser Hohenzollern. Browning now feels that that makes a permanent blot on his escutcheon, even though he has since trampled the decoration under registration cards received or made out each day thereafter. Alphabetical lists of all registrants| and their registration numbers wilt be prepared in duplicate and posted in the office of the local board. One copy will be presented to the press with a request for its publication in addition to the list previously refer- red to. N. F. A. NOTES.

Dear Friend Jerry: Received your letter while up on' the .front line; it Wwas one -of the few .things received which was. weicome as during that last “hitch” up there we had a pretty hot time from the time we stepped in. un- til our relief came-a couple of weeks later. Onr position was right under the nose of the Boche, only two hun- | dred yardg separating the two front lines and "although there are sectors on this western fromt where the dis- tance between is' much less, that's near enough for me.. It was a case of continual bombarding and when they start dropping a few thousand of these shells ranging all the way from one pounders up to sixteen-inch with a few “whizz-bangs” thrown in for luck all ageund you you would think all hell had let loose. We had to lay right-down in the mnd and water of the trench for a couple of hours at a time more than once as the big ‘“minnies”, bursted over and around us.: The 1last seveniy-two hours in there was no.sleep, so you can imagine evervbody was all in when we arrived back’here for a rest, however, after three. davs of simple life with plenty of sleep, am feeling tip-top again. No doubt will be back within a day. or_two. Of course Mr. Fritz was getting his share of . this bombarding—and then some. One morning in partfcular it was about & a. m. he came ‘over the top in the form of a ‘small raiding party” and believe me, he got a warm reception. . An artillery. and machine gun barrage opened ub on poor little “Fritzy” and I'd bet’ a ‘dollar to a doughnut an English sparrow coutdn’t have come through. Our company _lost four men during this “hitch;” also ‘had cne wounded and one shell-shocked. Three of the fellows killed were from Connecticut. On arriving back here received the hox you sent as.a member of the com- mittee for the K. of C..and it was very much appreciated. Regarding sending you:a list of what I might need so yau.could majl.it to me, I think T haye received more than my share and no-@oubt there are a great many of the other boys who have either started over here by now or arrived.

There is one thing, however, I will ask of you—drop me a line whenever you can, letters from dear old Norwich are always - welcome. [ can't promise prompt replies as there are davs now when it is not an easy thing to write, but will do my best. 4 Well, Jerry, hepe you and all vour family are in the best of health Tell the boys I have given the casvalty list the “efip” so far'and am feeling tip:top. 3 With kindest regards to Mrs. Des- mond, yourself and all the family and hoping 1 hear from you again scon.

Mechanic Harvey Benoit, who is now in France with Battery D of the 56th heavy artillery, has written a m?;n e interesting letter to his mother. tells of the simple country life of the French peasants and their surprise at pictures of the tall buildings in New ! York. He also praises his officers very highly. The letter follows: American Expeditionary Forces, France, May 14, 1918. Dear Mother: Just received a letter from you which was addressed to Fort Wright. That was rather funny, as I received a letter from you a few days ago in answer to the card I mailed you. ‘We are having regular summer weather, dry and very warm. I have received a letter from Aunt Josie— that makes two I have received from her, but they were addressed to Fort ‘Wright, so there wasn't much news in them. We have moved three times so far since we have been over here. We are now located in a small village. A}l the men have gone to war from this place, and the people here sav that most of them are killed. These that are left are old people, and morning they stari out with a hoe or shovel on their back and a small keg | village were painted out. exery | we got off at every station to stretch our legs a little, but the train stopped Just long enough to take on water. The cars we rode in were box cars, and they are about half the size of those In. the U. S. We carried food enough on the train to last three days. Two or three times the train stopped for about half an hour, and we ere treated to warm coffee by the Red Cross nurses and French soldiers. We are pretty well situated now and we g0 on hikes, as there is not much place for drilling. One of the officers said in ‘Battery C that we had the best battery. He said our men were the | best ‘workers, the best hikers and mest happy, for we are always singin You know that singing makes march- ing easier. Our new commander the one -yho taught us how to s He is a fine officer and thé men th a lot of him, for he is square with us He likes to mix with the men and find out their ideas, and believe me, . the boys will stand by-him. In fact, all our officers are good. I have seen them often. on a hike take a man's rifie and carry it for him a ways, I am jin good health and have not had to report to the hospital but once since I zot here, and that was because I cut my finger. It wasnt’ much, but I had fodine put on it because tetanus germs have been found in the soil. We do not think that the war will last long. We are all figuring on having our Thanksgiving dinner at Home. Do not think that I am on the front. We are far away from it, and in no dan- ger at all. We do not even expect to see the front, from the looks of things. So cheer up. I wish that you would send me the Sunday paper, when you get through reading it; we have nothing to read. I am going to send you a reguest for something in this envelope and you must show it to the postmaster when you mail the package, or I won't get it Also enclose request with package. ‘Will close with love to all.
