Wearirg the uni- form of the Blue Devils, the terror of the Germaps who have had to oppose them, his breast adorned with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, the Croix du Guerre and military medal, Father Cabanel talked as one inspired of the deeds of valor that have been accredited to the armies of France and of the relation of their bravery in de- fence of their native land to their re- ligious life. The address was really on a religious theme and it was lis- tened to with rapt attention by the Sisters, the novices, the clergy and the laymen who were 80 fortunate as to_be present. There was no mention In Father Cabanel's talk of the thrilling deeds ¢f personal bravery and deflance of death on shell-swept battlefields that won for him decorations that given only to those who perform & tinguished service, but his magnifi- cent record was well known to all present and they welcomed the chance to hear from his lips the story of the fight for God and’ Country as he told it to them. - Gassed while engaged with his du- ties on the battleflelds, Father Caba- nel, the most famous of all French army chaplains, has been sent to this country to do special work and has been traveling through the east re- cently.

Private Kelley says that he likes France and that the peo- ple there are very good to the U. S. A. boys, but he realizes that he has a stern duty to perform and promises that he will do it with the fine spirit that marks the million of fighting Americans who have arrived “over there.” PR Work or Fight. Enforcement of the “work or fight” rule in Danielson is to be carried out as soon as Jocal board members for the district have disposed of urgent business now holding their attention There are registrants here who fully realize that they are trifing with the government in continuing to hold places that are clearly non-productive, vet they are taking the risk of being summarily inducted into military ser- vice rather than seek positions that are considered as productive. Quiet Night Before. The “day before” in Danielson was unusually quiet and the “night before” here lacked much of the pep that has characterized it in peace years. There was something doing, of course, Wed-| nesday late at night and during the early hours of the morning, but the welcome of the Fourth was far less noisy and demosstrative than what used to be the rule in the old days. Sees Boys From Home. John Horton, who is in France with a New England artillery organiza- tion, has written of being in a sector where he sees a number of young men with infantry commands whom he knew at home. 2 Will Outfit Registered Men. The Danielson Red Cross chapter is to outfit with sweaters and other knitted goods the registrants of Kil- lingly who are to be called into ser- vice during the five day period begin- ning July 22. There are about 22 men going from Killingly. The Old 13th Had Young Volunteers. While there has been much protest- ing here against lowering or increas- ing the draft ages, the old 13th com- pany, which went into_service a vear ago this month has a score of mem- bers who were only 18 when they en- listed ahd quite a group of members who are over 31, and no one will deny that they are not thoroughly trained, strong and brave soldiers today. Wounded at the Somme. Gunner Simon A. Perque, who was wounded while fighting with the Ca~ nadian forces on the Somme, was a visitor with friends in Daniélson on Wednesday. He is in such poor health at present as to be unfit for active service. Midland division trains were run through here on Wednesday morning on account of a wreck that blocked the double track line near Hampton. Will Offer Holv Mass For Boys in Service. In observance of the Fourth, there will be special services at St. James' church this morning, and hundreds of parishioners are expected to attend, remembering in their devotions the more than 100 young men of the par- ish who are fighting in army or navy. Arthur Lamoureauy, Wwho was in the medical corps, has been transfer- red to the field artillery branch of the service. The employment of women as rail- way postal clerks is said to be amon; the possibilities of the néar future. Tires and Other Accessories Stolen at Residence of Miss Eleanor Clark. Sheriff George F. Holbrook was at Pomfret Wednesday afterfvon inves- tigating a robbery at the garage of Miss Eleanor Clark, which, it wass found during the morning, had been broken into during the tires and other articles stolen.
