The will has been offered for probate before Judge Nelson J. Ayling and names the testator’s broth- er, Aaron Gordon, and b son-in-law, Barnet Davidson, as executors with- out bonds. It is also provided that they are to make no charge for their services as executors. After making several real estate and jcash bequests, the will provides that the executors shall reduce the balance of the estate to a re: ne fund from which 10 per cent, shall be given to Norwich charities, These charitles will be such as Mr. Davidson shall designate anr he shall decide the amounts to be given to each. It is provided that each charitable organization so designated for a be- quest shall raise an equal amount and has five years to do it in. Should any one fail to do o, it will receive only half of what Executor Davidson had designated for it and the other half will go to some charity in Jerusalem. The following are the first bequests to be paid before the executor re- duces the estate to a residue fund: - Real estate at corner of West Main and High streets to Barnet Davidson, in trust for the testator’s daughter, Mrs. Annie Goldfarb, until her 35th birthday, then to her absolutely, or to be continueq for her heirs in event of her death before 325 Real estate at 162-172 Main street, Worcecter, and on Southbridge street, ‘Worcecter, to Barnet Davidson in trust for the benefit of Rosie Davidson, an- other daughter, under the same con- ditions. Real estate consisting of four houses and land at Bath Beach, Brooklyn, N. Y., to Davidson in trust for these two daughters until the younger of them reaches 35. . To his wife, Ida Gordon. $5000 &nd all household goods, furniture and jewelry, to belong to her forever, said gift to be in lieil of the marriage con- tract and only to be hers in case she forfeits her rights under said contract. To S. Kadishewitz of Brooklyn, N. Y., $300 or to his wife and child in case of his death before the death of the testator. To each of the children of Bessie Mintz of Worcester and of Blume Cot- ton of Worcester, sisters of the tes- tator, $150. To each of these two sisters, $200. After the charitable bequests: have heen taken from the residue fund, the sum of $20,000 is to be held in trust by Executor Davidson for the benefit of Ida Gordon, the testator’s wife, as long as she remains unmarried. Upon her death or marriage, the $20 000 becomes part of the trust cre- ated for the two daughters, anq any balance of the residue also goes to the daughters. ‘Mr. Gordon’s will charges the execu- tors to see that his father, Max Gor- don, receives his regular income from the stock of the Max Gordon & Son corporation, and if this should not equal $600 the executor is to make it up to that amount, and also see that Max Gordon has sufficient income in case at any time $600 proves too small to provide for his wants.

Carpenter, of this city, that he has been in the whole of the big drive. His letter follows: Aug. 13, 1918. Dear Aunt Mame: Received your letter several days ago and have just found time to an- swer. Our divisiori is just being re- lieved after being in the whole of this big drive. You can imagine that as a field hospital we've been some busy ourselves taking care of the casualties and moving up with the advance so as not to be left too far in the rear. Tve had several opportunities to drive ambulances as relief to the reg- ular driver and it's great sport. The roads are crowded with all kinds of traffic going both ways and at all speeds. No one has any lights and the roads are rough, so you have to keep awake every second. But it’s a great life at that. T've seen a lot of sights in the past three months. Wish T could tell you of the places I've seen, but the censor forbids it. T'll tell you all about it after the war. 1 tmagine the papers have had some wonderful tales the past three weeks. They probably exaggerate but -some big things have taken place. It's real- 1y the turning point of the war, as for the first time the allies have taken the initiative. It won’t take the Yanks long to finish it, the way they are fighting, and at the rate new treops are landing. The Kkaiser’s Prussian guards were against the Americans on this part and they made pikers of them. Troops that can lick the invin- cible guard can win the war. Pershing says we'll be in “Heaven, Hell or Hoboken” by Christmas, so maybe we'll have a family reunion this winter. Love from JACK. Pvt. J. M. Carpenter, ¥, H. 28, San. Tr, A. P. O¢ 746, A. E.
