We went into the line at night and soon after the relieved men came out the Germans started a barrage on us, and T'll say it was some party.

FQOD CONSERVATION WEEK TO BEGIN SUNDAY DEC. 1 Conservation of food will be even more difficuli during the.the coming months than ever before, said Robert Scoville, federal food administrator for Connecticut, federal food admin- istrator for Connecticit at the food conservation meeting at Hartford on Tuesday. Mr. Scoville added there were 180,000,000 people in the neutral nations who needed food ad in the central kingdom there were 60,000,000 to 80,000,000 who should be helped after the others were fed. ~ Mr. Sco- ville outlined_the plans for conserva- tion weelc which begins Sunday, De- cember 1, when there will be special programs.

Walcott of the federal commissioh. “The American _troops have saved France” was the word of many French generals to Mr. Walcott, he said, as he toyred the battle line after the great three day's offensive of the Americans. “The oply antidote for revolution,” Mr. Walcott said, “will be food and money for Belgium, Serbia and the smaller nations for the next ten or more years.” NORWICH BUILDING LOAN ASSOCIATION MEETING The November meeting of the Nor- wich Building and Loan association was held in the Chamber of Com- merce building _Tuesday President E.

Although. the cemsor cut out the name of the Anstrian port which was at- tacked it is plain to that it was the attack on Durazzo on Oct. 4, when the Ametiean submarine chasers play- ea such a conspicous part. His let- ter ‘was written -the day afterwards and was ds follows: October 5, 1918. Dear Mother and Father—It isn't a very pleasant day today as it is raining hard." T imagine that it is the beginning of the rainy season and it won't be very pleasant from now on. 1 received two of your lctters, thoso of Sept, § and 14, and was glad to hear that evervone is well. 1 am feel- ing fine and dandy. ™ell, here goes for a little news whiich ‘T think will interest you all. Last Sunday we prepared for sea. No one kpew where,We were going, but of course everyome had their ideas. There were quite a few different ones, t00. v We arrived at a port in Italy but were allowed no liberty. We shoved off from there in the early morning hours, We soon saw our destination which proved to be, , an Aus- trian naval base. We kept on ad- vancing slowly to our position in the hombargment and all we could see was a large smoky screen on the horizon which was made by our allies, the Italidns and English. It didn't take them Tong to reach us once they came in sight. Al the time they were com- ing up in the rear we were being firad upon from the' shore. -The shells fell short, but we figured that in about five minutes they would get our ranze and then it would be good night, but ail seemed in our faver. The Italiafs and English were soon up with us and we took our position 1ight in fromt of the battleships be- tween the two fires watehing for sub- marines. It was certainly a fine sen- sation to have the shells whistling over your heads. It iasted for about an hour and three-quarters all together, Of course there were air raids goinz on all the time. We sunk three submarines and probably destroved two. which were in drydock. There was an Ausirian destroyer sunk and also a terpedo boat and two merchantmen. One merchant- man was on firs when we left. The town was also set on firs and was burning the next day. Just as we were leaving there was an aeroplane raid and they blew up an zmmunition depot. 1 forgot to say that we also sunk some floating mines and captured the hospital ship Baron Karl and teok her to sea, but finding nething on her but what she was supposed to carry, let her go. She immediately made full speed to the northward o get back to port again. During the bombardment the aero- planes were reporting the success of the hits. Onee we saw the shells fall into the water as it looked to us (of course T suppose one or two did) and the mext thing we saw the boat ‘was listing and she listed fast too. Then over she went and it was goodnight to her. All the ‘way over to this place it was rough_as it could be, but just as we arrived-and were waiting for the other battle wagons it calmed down and was calm ‘all during the epgagement but no sooner had we left it became rougher than when we were going there. T forgot to mention the fact that Norwich was well represented as there were five of us in the engagement. Our American boats were there first and we were the las tto leav Well, T think I have written enough so will say au revoir and hope. you arc as well as this leaves me. With love from GEORGE Q.

CONCERNING LABELS FOR SOLDIERS' CHRISTMAS PACKAGE An extension of time to Nevember 30th has been given for sending the Christmas. parcels to soldiers in the American Bxpeditionary Forees. This has been apnounced at the Afla Division Headuarters of the American Ked Cross. It has been found that, up to this time, there have been many instances in which the nearsst relative of a member of the American Expedition- ary Porces has not reccived a label from the man overseas. The ‘Red Cross has been furnished by the war department with a_supply additional _labels, _unaddressed, ich will be ziven {o the nearest relatives of members of the American Expeditionary Forces who do not re- ve lahels_on or hefore Nov, 20 (one abel dnly for each soldier Bpon an application fo the Red Cross. Such application must be made by the near- cst relative of the man and must state that such relative has not received a lubel, that no other paresl is being gent to his knowledge to the proposed recipient, and that if a label is subse- quently. received if will not be used. The regulation_that only one Christ- mas parcel may be received by each soldier in Burope is still in force. In giving out these labels the Red Cross will permit only one label for a sol- dier. The carton for the parcel must be chtained from the Red Cross, and when packed must not- weigh more than three pounds. It must be in- spected by the Red Cross and after postage is affixed sufficient to carry it at parcel post rates to Hobelen, N. it must be sealed and delivered: b ihe Red Cross to the post office au- thorities.
