They will be ready for distribution on and after Thursday, Sept. 5th. These markers will say in big letters “En route to Lebanon—Patriotic Pil- grimage to Conmectieut's Historle Shrine—Sept. 8, 1918—Run approved by Fuel Administrator for Connecti- cut.” Arrangements have been made by which all war bureaus and town com- mittees of the Connecticut state coun- n I H), oon | cil of defense will be supplied with S Setn. || Wates. || Rises| theso markors for distribution on ap- T Ta . | plication.

Father Cabanel is an elo- quent speaker, a veteran of three vears' life in 'the tremches, and was sent to America by the French gov- ernment with the Fremch hizh com- mission. The close associations df Lafayette and the French army in the Revolution with Lebznon make it es- pecially appropriate that France should be represented in the prosram at Lebanon on Sept. 8. REGISTER UNLESS YOU HAVE PASSED 46 Major John Buckley, state director of the draft, has been asked a num- ber of questions in relation to the age auestions in relation to the age limit- ation for the draft registration next month. From the guestion, it is evi- dent to the major that there is an im- pression that persons who have reached the age of 45 vears are ex- empt from the draft. The major said today that the impression was erro- neous and that the maximum age of 45 years extended to the forty-sixth birthday. That is to say a person is to be considered within the draft age after he has reached the age of 45 and until he is 46. The ruling of the department, ap- plicable to the coming draft is pre- cisely the same as that which govern- ed the draft of persons from twenty- one to, thirty and under which persons came within the registration age until they had reached their thirty-first year, SAYBROOK BRIDGE' HAD FEW AUTOS ON SUNDAY On the first gasoline conservation Sunday, two hundred cars passed the town pump at Old Saybrook and 500 were listed on the state bridge. The most of these were late in the after- noon and were out of the state folks, evidently on extended trips. The numbers of these cars were taken as they crossed the bridge. Labor day 2,300 crossed the state bridge and a continuous stream from midnight on Sunday uptil early Tuesday used the main roads.. The traffic on the raii- roads was the largest ever knowm.

DRAG WILLIMANTIC RIVER FQR TEACHER'S BODY (Special to The Bulletin.) Willimantic, Sept. 3—Miss Jane E. Denehey, who has taught English in the Willimantic Normal School for about twenty years is missing and it is believed that she has committed sui- cide by drowning in the Willimantie river near the Ridges. on the northern eity limit, Tuesday. The body has not been recovered. Physical and mental depression is given as the cause. She was last seen alive in the forenoon at her boarding place. ‘Two young women, who were canoe- ing found her hat and ceat on the bank of the river, but when they re- turned at six o'clock and saw the coat still there, they became alarmed and carried it to the home of Mr. and Mrs, P. S. Hills -where they found it be- longed to Miss Denehey. In the pock- et of the coat was found a note ad- dressed to Miss Mary Quinn, a fellow teacher. The. contents would not be divulged by the people now holding it except that it was 4 note of depres- sion, and that she said she intended to take her life. The Willimantic po- lice arrived onsthe scene at seven o'~ clock and worked until nine with grappling hodks, but were unable to locate the body, and algp lost all their hooks. Miss Denehey had been suffering with a severe headache for several days and probably dreaded the open- ing of Normal school this (Wednes- day) morning. She had just returned from a month’s stay at Pleasyre Beach with several other teachers and during the stay seemed very happy. Her home life was congenial, as she lived with her mother at the home of Elmer Nor- ton at 24 Tufner street. She is very well known throughout the state, be- cause of ‘the larze number of stu- dents she has taught. TEMPERANCE SOCIETY PLANS FALL PROGRAMME St. Mary's T..A. and B. society made arrangements fo rebserving the Father Mathew anniversary on Getober 10th and for starting a membership cam- paign at its next meeting by apfoint- ing the ikspective committees at the September nieeting of the society on!

Casey was in the chair and nine propositions were received and six admitted to mem- bership. Andrew J. Caples was made chairmar: of the Father Mathew cele- bration committee and Romeo Kane of the membership campaign chm- mittee.

Women workers in every kind of occupation in England was one of the things that impressed itself upon Pri- vate William Murray, Battery F, 66th Artillery, C. A, C., who has sent the following letter to his mother, Mrs. William H. Murray of 249 Yantic street ,and with it one of the letters of King George to the American sol- diers Janding in England: August 3, 1918, Dear Mother; Just a few lines to let you know that T am well and nev- er was happier in my life before, and hope you are the same. We had a nice trip over and land- ed in England. We are at a rest camp now. It is some experience, believe me. The people here are nothing like the people ir the old U, S. It is raining here most all the time and the streets are ‘all like Yantic street They are way behind the times here.

We slept in hammocks on board ship. Did you get that safe arriva! card alright? I sent one to Eva and Jim, too. The people out here seem to think the war will be over inside of three months. There are some colored men here that are in the American army, they have been at the front and the say that the Germans thro'd up their hands as soon as they see the Ameri cans coming after them .

Where Flanders Got lts Name. A Norwich resident writes The Bul- | leti A, recent to a childhood's, home has awakened many half-forgotten memories and the query has arisen. why were so many lovely spots in our own country named for places across the sea? Did our forebears so rev- ergnce the mother country that they lofed to pass those names along to future generations, or were the in ancient history? Let us th! latter. In a near-by town of East Lyme there is Flanders, and an ancient ha: telry “Ye Golden Spur.” both so sug- gestive of sunny Franee where aa ar- my of the flower of our American manhood have gone to defend the cause of right that it may prevail against might. Is it not worth while to be reminded of the battles in nis ory fought on just those same spots by those who live in history, and seem tc walk the earth again? July 11, 1302, an army of French knights numbering over 40,000 fought a small army of Flemish weavers from Ghent and Bruges at Coutrai, a town in the province of West Flan- ders, Belgium. In French were under. command of the Count of Artois, while the weavers had two generals, John of Namur, and Luke Wm. of Juliers. The French being _defeated there were collected 700 sclden-spu from the heels of the French knigh and hung in the church of the Notre Dame in Courtrae. Not only were they of great value but significant of valor of a knight, as to gain the rznk of knighthood the man so ho ored was' presented with a pair of golden spurs and received a blessing from St, George, the patron saint of Flanders. Longtellow in his poem of the battle says: “In the market place of Bruges, the belfry old and brown stands, thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded, still it watches o'er the town, I .beheld the Tlemish weavers with Namur and Juliug bold, marching homeward from the bloody battle of the spurs of gold.” May those 616 years that have in- tervened since those -early battles, (fought to establish the claims of the laborer), now be forever settled as rich the 3a. 207—J?hn Lavigne, 19 Dunham street,| = = - i - & M. “Hanaati 'Lham. formerly Nort o e Ente) SILVERBERG—In Backua hospital, Sept 1. 1915 a son to M. and Mre A siiverberg of 6 Fairmount cnurt STAMPLE—In New Haven, Sept. 2, 1918, a son te Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stample (formerly Miss Agnes Colli- gan of Norwich). —At Backus hospital, QTTER- Sertcty 1918 X% d-ugmu to Mr. an Mrs. Will MARRIED: B MAYNARD — ADAMS —In_ Norwich, Sept. 3, 1918, by Rev. .
