There has always heen such keen public interest in the deeds and fate of the Eighteenth Regiment, which was sent to the front from Norwich during the Civil War, that Dana’s explanation of one phase of this particular regi- ment's senvice is time! (Written Specially It is not understood the public generally, ‘writes Rev. Mr. Dana; why the Eighteenth and the Shenandoah Valley Army with which it wvas associ- ated were so often found contending against superior numbers, and obliged so0 often to pack or retreat.

Twentieth Regiment, was on the original muster roll—the only name of local interest, and he was transferred later to the staff of Brig- adier-General Harland. The Twenty-first was the last of the seventeen regiments raised on the several calls of the President for three vears’ service, or the war, and was the Second regiment ordered to rendezvous at Norwich, Among the officers from the town was Hiram R. Crosby, appointed ma- jor, who, on the death’of Colonel Dut- ton and’ Lient.-Col. Burpee succeeded to the regimental command. J.

With' these there were about thirty privates. Wednesday, Sept. 17th,when the State and Regimental flags from pa- iriotic women of Norwich and Stoning- ton were presented the Twenty-first, an imn.ense crowd of visitors gathered at the camp. In presenting the beau- tiful and significant gift, the late James Lloyd Greene, then Mayor of = Nor- =ith said in his address: “Colonel. Dutton, the ladies of Nor- wich and Stonington place this flag in your hands, and in those of the brave men under, your command, fully persuaded you will never disgrace it, but will 4dd new lustre fo the bril- liancy of fits fame. Take it and guard it as the most priceless treasure ever committed to mortal hands. With it they give you the State Flag, of the State ‘of Connecticuy, configent that your valor and skill will add yet more brightness to the star, which represents her in the na- tional flag. % “Take your flags; and trusting in the holiness of your cause, and_ in. your strong arms, march on to victory and renown: and when the conflict is over And the victory won—when freedom’s flag floats high and wide over all the land—the ladies who present you with these- colers today will welcome home with all honor the saviors of their beloved land.” Colonel Dutton, receiving the flag, responded in words whose emphasis his rank and the gleaming line of bay onets borne by his men drawn up hind where he stood, made memorably impressive: “Representing this regi- ment as its chief officer. I desire to thankgthe ladies of Bastern Con- necticlit for their magnificent present. At some future day—many months hence, perhaps—we hope to bring these colors back to you, time-worn, dust- covered, perhaps bullet-torn they may be, but' polluted by the touch of a rebel—never!” THE DICTAGRAPH.

Not that it adds, perhaps, anything new to facts already established, for the publication of the “Society for Physical Research,” give instances still more remarkable, but it adds local evidence as confirmation of the fact that as death approaches, the powers and scope of the mmn become enlarged far beyond what is ccnsid- ered normal. Last Thursday afternoon Conductor Arnold met a sudden and violent Geath by the derailment of his car at Rock- land, a dozen miles east of here. A very. short time afterwards, Chester Spunders, who was rapidly approach- ing death at his home here in the val- ley, told those around him that a man had been killed on the railway. He did not seem to be able to locate the place, but asked those present to look out upon the track which passes his home in the valley and see if it was not true. They did so and assured him that all was well,’but soon the {news camo of the fafal accident in 'Rockland. | Only a few hours afterwards, the same " evening, Chester passed away ,and just before he went, with his mind perhaps slightly wandering, he said |to those around, hi ‘Now I must '20; get my clotehs for I must .put !them on for I have got to go right off, {now.” Junkmen Make Big Money. | Old metal men are said to be reap- \ing a harvest in Killingly and sur- irounding towns.

Training—What the City Bells Were Ringing For, Indicative of the effect of the re- cently approved convention beiween the United States and Great Britain is the following letter issued by the local board, with headquarters w1 this city, to British subjects, registered in thig’ district, who have filed -claims for exemption or deferred classifica- tion on the ground of being aliens. It was stated at the office of tne board Friday afternoon that 11 men who are British subjects have claimed exemp- tion from military service on that sround. A considerably larger rum- ber, married men, have claimed defer- red classification on the ground of being aliens, married and with or without children, as happens to be the case. The letter sets forth quite clearly what such registrants may expect in choosing between the United States and Great Britain, as to military ser- vice. But, if the registrants withdraw their claims to deferred classification on the ground of alienage, they will fall under the provisions of the United States selective service act, which is more liberal, as to forcing married men into service, than is the British draft act. Each regiétrant has been mailed a copy of the accompanying letter and it now rests entirely with these in- dividual® as to what course they shall pursue in casting their lot in deciding the fate of the democracy of the world: July 26, 1918. Dear Sir:—In accordance with a convention between the United States and Great Britain, Canadian and other British subjects, residing in the United_States, are liable under the draft of Canada and Great Brithin un- less you waive your claim for exemp- tion under the United States draft on the ground of aliemage. You have stated in your question- naire that you are a Canadian and was granted deferred classification on that ground. This classification will be withdrawn in a few weeks. How- ever you will be given an opportunity to enlist in the Britis hor Canadian forces if you so desire or you may ap- pear at the office of the exemption board and we will allow you to with- draw your claim for exemption on the ground of being an alien. You will, therefore, appear at the office of the exemption board before 4 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, Ausust 3rd, 1918, and notify us of your in- tention. If you still claim exemption on the ground of being an alien we shall immediately report vou to the Eritish and Canadian recruiting mis- sions and you will be subject te their call. Let us hear from you. Yours very trul LOCAL BOARD 16, CCNN. OWLS TO DISBAND Trouble Over New Members’ tion F nitia- Started Disagreement. Putnam Nest of Owls has voted to disband. This announcement has fol- lowed an ekchange of letters between officers of Putnam nest and supreme officers of the order. It 1s claimed that the whole difficulty ~developed from the claim that new members were recently admitted . upon payment of half the amount of the stipulated ini- tiation fee, nd that letters written 1o supreme officers by a special dep- uty who was sent here from Chico- pee, Mass., are responsible for the tangle that has resilted in members of Putnam nest voting to go cut of Dbusiness. The special deputy’s examination of the books of Putnam nest show them to be regular in_every respect, it has been stated, so the whole affair seems to be the result of misunderstandings and unfair reports to the supreme of- ficers. The members of the order herehave not been.content to remain submis- sive while their integrity was being assailed, so they voted to disband. The Jodge has been ome of the strong fraternal units of the city, and its-intention to close up its affairs w; received here with surprise. Leave For Special Training. Arthur E. Basto of Woodstock and Joseph Menard of Danielson left here Friday for Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where they are to continue their stud- ies of wireless work. The boys were inducted into service as the result of their own requests and their studies at the Putnam Trade school. They are due to arrive at Fort Leavenworth Sunday evening. Next Thursday, Aug. 1, Harry E. Wells of Woodstock will leave for the University of Maine, at Orono, ‘0 take a special government training course He will be regularly inducted into servide. He has been a student along mechanical lines at the trade schook here. Monday, on the first train, five men will leave here for a government trafning camp at Syracuse, N. Y. They are to go to make up guard and fire companies which the government is organizing. The men are; Hepry Gif- ford, Putnam; Zepherim Bergeron, Jr., Putnam; Adelbert Peckham, Wood- stock: Henry Jodoin, Putnam; Sera- phim 'Beaudry, Goodyear. : Fourteen men are to go out to New- ton, Mass, for specia] training, on Aug. 15, This contingent is made up of: Albert M. Young, Springfield; Dan- fel J, Weeks, Putnam; E. W. Prince, North Grosvenordale; Arthur J. St Armmant, Ballouville: Arsene Frap- pier, Jr, North Grosvenordale; Ed- ward J.

Johnson, North Gros- venordale; Eli _J. Gaudette, North Grosvenordale; - Fred Carpenter, Put- nam, - These men are to take courses in automobile repairing, metal work and other special lines along which men must be trained to aid Uncle Sam in winning the war. BELL8 WERE RUNG But it Was For Prayer Meeting, Not For Capture of Crown Prince. There are some good jokers in Put-* nam, and recent reported events have given them a chance to exercise their proclivity. A telephone call to a man in a local store came from Woodstoc “We are wondering whether to ring the bells up here to celebrate the cap- ture of the crown prince and hi: ar- mies: are the bells ringing in Put- nam “Yes,” said the Putnam man. But he smiled as he neglected to explain that the bells were ringing for the usual mid-week prayer meeting. But his neglect didn’t help in any way to delay the premature celebration in the nearby town, where they had just as good a time as if the capture stories ‘were really true.
