WHEN YOU WANT (o put your bus- Iness before the puplic, there is no medium better than through the ad- wertising columus of The Bulletin, DANIELSON Danielson had another celebration Thursday afterngon—and evenmg— and night. Another celebration. Ap- parently authentic reports that Ger- many had signed the allies’ armistice terms came over the wires to Daniel- son business men during the early afterneon from various iarge cities. including New York, and {his was deemed sufficient guarantee that there was cause for celebrating. So Dan- jelson celebrated. If New York was tearing the reof off the city, Why shouldn't Danielson rip the shingles off the roof? It was mot long after 3 o'¢clock when things began to happen. First a lone whistle screeched out the call of victory, then others joined in, and it was not long before the whole town was in the midst of a tumult, Mills began to close up at 3,30 and by 4 o'clock the streets were thronged with a happy, cheering multitude. an- xious to give voice to their enthu asm and to acclaim the close of the fighting in the world war. School children, bearing flags, paraded the &treets, automobiles, gaily bedecked in the national colors hegan to flit about and the air seemed surcharged with the spirit of victory. Then someone began to spill files in the ontment. “The Associated Press says that there is no official confirmation that Ger- many has signed the armistice terms.” “The Norwich Bulletin says it has no confirmation that Germany nas signed the armistice” Those were wme re- ports that began to filter through the crowds, but they had little effect. The people were started on their celebra- tion programme and there was no stopping them. What was true in Danielson was true also in the town of Plainfield and all along the Quine- baug valley. It was taken for grant- cd that if Germany hadn't signed. she would have to soon. so the Americans at home did what the Americans over there have been doing ever since they landed in France—beat the Huns to it! If the celebration of tI people of the towns hereabouts was again pre- mature, it was no more so than the celebrations in New York, Boston and mauy of the important cities of New England—if that helps any. However tenable the ground there- for, the celebration was one that will live long in the memory of those who had a part in, or witnessed, it. During the evening Daniélson had such a night as has seldom been re- corded in the town's history. The real celebration was inangurated by a parade of the Connecticut Mills or- zanization and this was followed by an endless procession lasting into _th small hours of the morning. Th may not have been the final victor: celebration, but it was a and well in line with the progress of events toward the end that is sure t come. Private Philip Roberge, 103rd Ma- chine Gun tompany, hero of the Be leau woods fight and decorated with the distinguished service cross Dy General Pershin is at his home m Danielson. Private Roberge ived Thursday morning from an infirmary at Cape May, N. J., where he has been receiving treatment for a %ouna that cost him his right eve. He has a 15 days’ leave of absence. From the minute that he stepped off the train until he got to sleep, sometime las night, .Danielson people accorded him a continuous ovation. He is the fi Danielson soldier who has fougnt in France to return to his home, and he comes back a hero of whom all here are proud. Private Roberge s not given much to talking about the epi- sode that won him the honor decora- tion, but, after much questioning, an outline of the incident was obtained ;rnm him, and it was much as fol- ows: On the 18th, of July, the first day of the great offensive that has since spelled doom to the German cause, Private Roberge went into hell of fire ewirling through and over RBelleau wood. He was one of four volunteer stretcher bearers detailed to carry the American wounded from the first line Aressing station back to ciearing sta- tions only a short distance beyond the line of actual combat. Private Ro- berge was on his fourth trip buck from where Red Cross workers were giving first aid to the wounded and one of the four men carrving a wounded sol- dier on a stretcher when he recetved his wound. He had knelt beside the stretcher to better protect with bur- lap and other coverings the body of the wounded soldier when shrapnel burst only a few yards away, a frag- ment strik ng him on the upper part of the bridge of the nose and, ganc- ing, tore out his right eye. In spite of the excruciating pain, Private Roberge eontinued to help carry the wounded man anl proceeded about a mile before shadows began to form before his eyves and nis field of vision began to darken. He kept on until he was physically unable to con- tiuue to carry with the other stretch- er bearers and, after directinz them to the shortest route out of the actual battle zone, he made his way on foot and ynattended to the little old Fotd ambulance that was standing down the road, as he puts it, znd climbed in. He was driven to a dressing st: tion and a new bandage placed over his wounded eve. He had stopped to apply his first aid dressing himself. Weeks in hospitals in France were followed by his departure for home, nd he says it seems like getting back in God’'s coun to again walk on the s0il of the United States, The war is not all fun, neither is it" all terrible, in Private Roberge's v “I had a good time on many occasions,” he said, “and we got so used to normal shell fire that we never paid much attention to it, continuing our zames of biackiack when we hap- pened to be plaving eards and the Boches started something.” Private Roberge, telling about one of his trips up to the front line af- ter wounded men in the Belleau woods fight, tells about proceeding alone through a field from which the Ameri- cans had swept the Huns when he saw & German prone upon the ground, and apparently dead. Knowing the Huns, he took no chances as to the man. be- ing dead, but approached him cau- tiously, meantime cocking the .45 p tol which he was carrying for prot tion. Upon close approach, the pri trate form of the Hun did not move, so Private Roberge gave him a robs- GRANDMA NEVER LET HER HAIR GET GRAY She Kept Her Locks Dark and Glossy With Sage Tea and Sulphur When you darken vour hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, 8o evenly, Preparing _this mi though, at home, is mus; troublesome.

Theréun- on Private Roberge made a cioser in- srection and found that the German's head had been severed as cleanly as though cut off by a knife. T didn't lin- ger long there, says Private Roberge, but hustled along where my duties called me, A prominent resident of Danlelson suggested Thursday that the signal service that Private Roberge has ren- | dered his country and which nas been recognized by General Pershing should also be officially recognized Dby the borough of Danielson, by having a fit- ting celebration in his honor and pa ing such a tribute as is due an ex- ceptionally brave soldier. Dona Paquin is reported severely wounded, in the right arm, in France, in a war department telegram recei ed here by his relatives. Mr, Paquin is a brother of Mrs. Michael Grim- shaw of Riverview and he was em- pioyed in the Connecticut mills at the time he enlisted. John A. Gibson of Norwalk was a visitor with friends in Danielson on Thursday. Vietory celebrations are not expect- ed if any way to interfere with the drive for the United War Work that will ke started here Monday. Plans for the drive were being completed on Thursday. The bedy of William B. Wheatley, who died Monday in Providence, was brought here Thursday. 2 Miss Jane A. Miller of Worcester is visiting with friends in Danielson.

PUTNAM On the strength of many and ap- parently authentic _reports, Putnam had a celebration Thursday afternoon over the claimed signing of armistice terms by Germany. The city broke forth in a Bedham of no rly in the afternoon and it was v late at night before the last of the joyful celebrators packed awev their noise making devices and went ‘o hed. What went on in Putnam was duplicated in all of. the towns and villages in thi section of Connecticut, Renorts that the carly stories relative to Germany signing up were not true got little con: sideration from the crowds. They were | out to have a good time and they had it. During the evening the celebrators of nearby towns came to Putnam and visitors from here went to other towns.
