Joseph Vanasse Died Last Thursday in a Hospital in New Jersey. 0| Joseph Vanasse, a former Baltic boy, enlisteq in the United States army over a year ago and was sent to France with one of the first American units to go there. One day last January he was sent out with other soldiers to repair a front line trench and in doing so was compelled to stand in water above his knees, which caused him to con- tract a disease from which he never recovered, He was operated on fdur times and then invalided to a hospital in Lakewood, N. J.,, where he died last Thursda: As Baltic was the place of his birth he was laiq ‘at rest in St. Mary’ cemetery there. The funeral services were held in the Catholic church in Plainfield, conducted by Rev. 3 Keefe, and the funeral party went to Baltic by automobile.

The Bulletin struck an almost insurmountable dif- ficulty on Saturday morning, and it was only through the courtesy of the Norwich Record in allowing the use of its press that the Saturday issue appeared at all. The trouble developed shortly after The Bulletin's press was started Sat- urday morning About 500 papers had been run off when a field of the mo- tor burned out and it was found im- possible. to make repairs. Investiga- tion of the trouble and attempts to get the press going again all took time, more time was consumed in ar- ranging to use the Record’s press. for which permission was readily granted, and more time then needed to make a new set of twelve plates to be used on the Record’s press. So that it was no wonder that The Bulletin was not ready for the boys to distribute in Norwich until nearly 10 o’clock in the morning. and it was noon or afternoon before Wilimantie, Danielson, Putnam and Westerly and the rest of the east- ern Connecticut territory could receive its favorite morning newspaper.

Although efforts have been made ever since Jupe by the bureau of com- munication of the Amerjcan Red Cross to find out the condition and where- abouts of Walter P. Moran, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Moran of Bos- well avenue, who has been wounded and in a hospital in France, thé Red Cross bureau has not yet been able to secure the information. In the following letter sent to Miss Ethel M. Sevin, secretary of the local home service section, the bureau of communication shows that they are following the case up and are waiting for an answer to a cablegram: Aug. 8, 1918. Miss BEthel M. Sevin, Secretary, Home Service Section, the American Red Cross, Norwich, Conn.: My Dear Miss Sevin: I am in receipt of your letter of Aug. 3, concerning Private Walter P. Moran. 1 regret exceedingly that we have not received an answer to the cable which we sent on July 13, asking for information concerning the condition and whereabouts of Walter P. Moran. Ordinarily replies to cables do come in the course of about two weeks. Of course, there are tremendous difficul- ties in getting prompt information at a time like this, and I realize how hard it is for people to understand the situation. There are thousands of inquiries going through this bureau each week in regard to men in the service. and we do the very best we can. We.are doing ‘the best we can in this case; and there is really noth- ing further that I can do to relieve the situation. We have both written and sent a cab’e, and without question our representatives in France are do- ing everything that they possibly -can to get the information that is so much desired. I certainly hope that it will come in a very short time, and T hope that his parents will be as patient as they possibly can. I want to assure you and them that this bureau will do evervthing it. can to be of assistance in gettifg this in- formation—and yet, all must realize that there are a great many things that may delay reports. Very sincerely yours, EDWARD M. DAY, Acting Director. One of the puzzling features about the case is that though Privatée Moran ix Dbeliéved to be in Base hospital No. the Red Cross cannot loceje him there. A Norwich man who has writ- ten home told of seeing Private Moran at Base hospital No. 8, but letters sent to Moran there have been re- turned and.letters sent to his regi- mental address and forwarded from there to the base hospital have aiso been returned with the notation, “Not at this address” SAILOR'S HEAD CUT BY SILENT POLICEMAN Robert Swanton in Peculiar Accident on Trolley at Willimantic.
