Gitchell, U, 8, A, sole arbitrato: appointed by the see- retary of war ucder date of October 29, 1918, to settle the labor disputes existing in the plant of the Marlin- Rockwelll Corporation, Norwich, Conn. which were submitted to the secre. tary of war or his duly authorized rep- resentative for adjustment by the Marlin-Rockwell Corgoration, and by the workers through their duly au- thorized representatives. Acting in accordance with such sub- mission and after conferences held by representatives of the parties with re- spect to the claims of the employes regarding wages, hours, and conditions of labor, the following decision 1s hereby rendered: 1.

FExces- EPISCOPAL WOMEN ASKED TO PRAY DURING ADVENT Bishop E. Campion Acheson has sent out to the Bpiscopal clergy of the dio- cese of Connecticut a letter reminding them of the plah of the Board of Mis- sions to extend to the women of the church an Advent call for an offering of united prayer. The idea was pro- posed and accepted at a meeting of representatives of all diogeses held in the Church Missions house, New York, last May, and the idea is “to get the women throughout our nation to put the power of prayer behind the strug- gle on the battlefield and to learn themselves how to render more con- secrated service to the nation and to the kingdom of God.” The methods suggested in Connecti- cut are for the rector or minister in charge of each parish to get the wom- en of the parish together for prayer: to make out a list of all women con- nected with the parish, and to assign a list of names to each worker, who will call upon such persons during the week of Dec. 1-8, leaving with each a booklet of prayers to be provided and asking the person to use these prayers daily; to begin this work of visita- tion in some suitable nianner, as by a { through infirmity, are unable to attend church services. CHIEF STANTON'S PRIZE TO HOWARD HITCHON The $5 prize offered by Fire Chiet Howard L. Stanton®for the best essay on Fire Prevention was_awarded on Saturday aftérnoon to Foward Hit- n, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter G. Hitchon, as it was thought that his essay was the one that covered the topic most fully. Louis Sears, son of Mr. and Mrs, Jacob Sears, was glven honorable mention. The award was armounced by Walter F. Lester, chair- man of the committee that judgea the eways, after an alarm from Box 33 ;i sounded at 2.15 o'clock and the dren collected at Union Square. The whole department in the center of the city turned out and Chief Sta: ton addressed the children from his car. Mayor Desmond also spoke to the children and asked them to refrain from burning barrels on Thankssiving day as has been the custom for the past two ceptarfes. Mayor Desmond ppealed to the patriotism of the voung folks, saying that after the kai- ser had' been beaten the boys could burn all the barrels they could get Lut before that time he would have to ask them to forego such an expen- sive celebration . Mr. Sears was on hand to receive his honorable mention award but Mr. Hitchon was not theré and will re- ceive his prize through the chlef. METHODIST PASTOR IS DELAYED IN COMING Rev. E.

GITCHELL, Major, U. 8. A, Sole Arbitrator Appointed by the Sec- retary of War, WAR DRIVE IMPORTANCE EXPLAINED BY BISHOP NILAN Through a circular letter to the pas- tors of the Catholic parishes state Bishop Nilan sets forth the im- Drive. This letter was read at all the masses Sunday at che bishop's request and the matter is {0 be brought to the attention of ihe peo- ple again next Sunday. With char- acteristic vizor and di ness the bishop explains the obligation of those at home to give liberally toward this fund for ‘the comfort of the men in service, even though such giving en- tails persona! sacritices. At St. Fatrick’s church the letter was read and commented on at the three masses Sunday. At the high mass at 10.30, Rev. Myles P. Galvin of the parisk who could possibly do so would give generously, not alone of money but of service, in case call- ed upon to assist in any other way.

THIRTEEN ARRESTS MADE OVER THE WEEK-END The week-end was quite in police circles thirteen arrests being made most of which wgre for intoxtcation and the rest for breach of the peace. Those arrested for intoxication were Michael Lock, Norwich: James Lyn- doot, Somerworth, Mass.: Michael n, Plainfield: Abraham Bitgood, foluntown; John J. Dyson, Central Village: Albert Larkie, Norwich; Ed- ward Charon, Central Village; Joseph Phalen, Taftville, Those arrested for breach of the réace were Martin McGlone, Norwich Koustandi, Krobinski, Norwich, and William Woodman, Somerviile. Berjamin Simpson of South Nor- walk was arrested for intoxicauon but was in such a state that he was taken to the Norwich State Hospital.

T hope the news of Bob Fletcher's death Is unfounded: I knew him quite well; a very fine fellow. lorwich has been quite fortunate, so far. We have had little to bear compared with the great number of deaths in certain oth- er cities. New England heys, up to the present, have borne the brunt of the fighting, especially our old Nation- al Guard divisions. Now the National army is getting active and men from ciher section are doing a goodly share. ‘We have K. of C. hut alongside of our camp ahd the boys all speak well of the way in which it is conduct- ed. Everyone also speaks well of the Salvation Armny work. The hoys com- ing back from the front sing their preises.

The Red Cross is also dofng great work here and the calls for their services are increasing ali the time.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Sees Bulletin in French Town. A letter written Oct. 9 from France by James Lynch of East Town street t0 one of his neighbors was received Oct. 27 and reads in part: Just a few lines to let you know that I am enjoying life or rather try- ing to in Frante, but then the world is_pretty emall after all. Just the other day I was walking down one of the main strees when I happened to look at a torn newspaper lying in the gutter. To my amazement it was The Bulletin; since I hadn't received my newspapers sent from home, you can imagine how wonderful it was to read the news straight from Norwich. Later I made inquiries and found that a Norwich boy had been with a unit which had recently gone to another training quarters. France is certainly a wonderful country. The people after four years of fighting have a unified feeling of whipping the Germans. It doesn't matter whether it is the aged mother who works in the fields or the son who expects to be called to the colors in the next fighting class. They like the American soldier and will do afl they can to help him out. Their homes are opened to them and many an American soldier will have a lifelong friend in France. This is a wonder- ful town and is_surrounded by gentle sloping hills. The famous vinevards of France are in the locality and also several ancient towns around which are walls built in - the days when Caesar was plunging through France. The walls are still extant and many soldiers make pilgrimages to visit them. Ancient chateaux dot the tops of the high hills. Our favorite pastime is to take walks on Sundays to parts not much occupied by troops. The people are pleased fo welcome you and five times out of six you'll get an invitation to dinner. And few soldiers would refuse a French dinner, for it is appetizing and healthy. All farms have poultry and a roast chicken reminds one of the Thanksgiving days at home. But it is much different. . Ther# is a lack of modernness about France, and _the same in :Jt{mr countries in Europe. The homesre of stone and inside are as gloomy as a prison. The people are not strong on the open air fad, for they have few windows to open at night. However, usually they are in the air in the daytime and that makes up for the night lack. [since the Americans landed in Jarge numbers. In some cases the autho ties had to stop the raising the price, for although the people think each American soldier is a banker at home, his money doesn’t last long when it goes out on, high priced articles. But in usual times, when the kaiser thinks ing soldiers than of hay ing them killed, living ine Europe is reasonable, according to the different statements made by some of the French people to me. Saw a Russian soldier, a veritable giant, who had escaped from a Ger- man prison camp and had made his way into France. He was waiting to get a lchance of fighting with the French army. He was dressed in his regulation Russian uniform. He stood well over six feet three inches in his stocking feet and weighed about 250 pounds. Every inch of him was mus- cle. The German prisoners whom I've seen are well fed and they are more pleased to be doing an eight hour day behind the lines in France than being driven into the trenches by their of- ficers. Life is fairly smooth. but sthere is a i lgood deal of work to be dome. C’est Ila guerre, as the French say, and so they go through their deprivations in the best of humor. .
