EARL HERRICK RELATES WAR EXPERIENCES Members of the Arcanum club wers gi\‘cn an interesting’ talk at their “Club Night” meeting held on Frida evening by Lieut. Barl Herrick, who recently returned from Irance” with the 56th regiment in which he was an officer. Before Lieut. Herrick talk the members of the club enjoyved a supper served by Caterer Berry. In his talk Lieut. Hernck toid of the trip across, the training In France and their a vance to the front. He told of th slart of the drive in the Argonn2 fo est where the 56th saw some of th hottest fighting of the war. The big drive let loose on the 26th of September and the noise from the guns was said to have been the most terrific of any during the war and that on a 30-mile front there were more guns in action than at any time during the war. These guns were only a few rods apart and they kept up hurling death at the Germans for two days and in that time had gZained several towns and driven the Hun back from three to seven miles. About the first of October the regi- raent was more widely sevaratedl and in moving his battery Lieut. Herrick lost two of the big guns when a H. E. skell made almost a direct hit on them and turned them over. Ons = was killed, several wounded. I r-dl. Herrick showed a picture from a m itary magazine, showing the gun after it had been hit. He's that toward the last of the fighting the Huns had | become such expert maraihoners that the infantry had to ride in motor truck to get within shooting distanc2 of them. Lieut. Herrick told of being ghtly gassed when he did not know but thought the odor whiic he Ger- in East it smelled at the time was a dea man.

Reed in New London by H. H. Gallup of this city and others asso- clated with him calling upon Joseph T. Meader, Clement F. Coogan, Robert W. Perkins and Char S. Eaton to show cause why they@are exercising the rights of offi of directors of the helt company: Judge Reed has named Thursday, Feb. 27, as the time for a hearing on the quo warranto pmceedmgs One alignment of stockTolders has elected Mr. Perkins president and the cther r lected Mr. Gallup to the presidency, the position ihat he has held for manv vears. ‘The Perkins party is now in possession of the of- fices, tannery anu oeit shop on Norta Main street. One set of officers elected comprises Robert W. Perkins, Norwich, pres! dent; J Meader, Boston, vice pre: ident; . Eaton, Norwich, secre- tary and treasurer. These men with C "F.

S, Eaton, Norwich, treas- urer; E. B. Miner, N secreta and assistant treasurer. ith Hugh Biackledge and Charles D. Gallup, both of Norwich, these make up the divectors. The balance of power, according to both-sides, rests in certain stock voted by the Thames National bank at the =nnual meeting in favor of Mr, Per- kins and his associates, buz which Mr. Gallup claims the right to vote. Since last Saturday, Mr. Gailup said on Friday, he has been locked out of the offices and shop of the concern with police officers stationed at the cffice and shop to keep him from en- tering. Last Monday when he went to the offices, he said, Mr. Perkins was there and denied him adiission be- yend a partition that had been bu: Unon demand.

When the disputed hares were counted with his oppo- nents they elected their directors and officers. On the 30th of January at a mcet- ing held at the office at the plant, the Gallup officers were elected. Last Saturday morning, I Callup states that as president called a stockholders meeting at which there were 583 shares re: m" sented.

At the usual meeting held on Friday afternoon at the ®sgood Memorial, with Mrs. Frank Bunnell presiding, the reports of several months were read, after which a delightful half hour of music was provided by Miss Mildred Wightman, pianist, who played three numbers—Sonata, Opus 22, Shuman, | Nocturne, Opus 9, Chopin, and Con- ! certo Etude, MacDowell. This trio of | selections, all of them varied and diffi- cult .each requiring expert fingering | and technique, were given with much | artistic feeling and brilliant execution, | which called forth enthusiastic ap- | plause. Following this very enjoyable musi- | cal feature, Mrs. Bunnell introduced | Miss Margaret C. Carey, who is ifiter- ested in the community club to be soon organized in Norwich. M; Carey gave a brief history of | war camp community service and| showed how it will be applied here. As the submarine base is so near Norwich, and will be a permanent in- stitution, the community club in our| town is going to be a permanent thing also, The commission decreed that| this war service was to be used in industrial centers; the scheme more easily understood a co-ordinating | agency which comes into a town and sees what it can do to help enlarge and get new members for others clubs, to combine with them, but never overlap. Such community service | lielps broaden the programs of other organizations. { Whatever girls' clubs there are in; town are urged to come in as a unit, not losing their own identity in any | way. Three committees will take cha of this work; the business recreation and educational ‘communities, In some tewns which are not so fortunate as to have rooms like those of the former to | Haile schools have been used s in millinery, folk sic and singing.

After the local club is well started, workers will be trained for ension work among the outlying districts. The problem of reaching and inter- esting girls between the ages of four- teen and eighteen is a serious one, tc which the Commiunity club workers will give much thought. ma]\r the 1t is planncd local club a plf-a.smt[ and voung men ma v chaperoned, to enjoy ileges of refined and social| surroundings. There is to be no hard and fast pro- gramme; the object of such a club is ty find out what a community wants and then plan to do just that. No one set of conditions will fit two ecmmu- nities. The Norwich people themselves are the ones to tell the war camp work- ers what is the best method of pro- cedure, and to give which ill be most gratefully re Many questions regarding were asked Miss Carey, who toid a number of ideas, still in the making, and how it was planned to solve the g ms of Saturday nights and S The plan is, to bear first how s about these mmt- , and how to deal with those young people, who are not church attendants, and yvet, must have some place to go Sunday.

Nearby neighbors went to the burning house | but were unale to save it and turncd their attention to saving the barn, which caught fire in several places but | was soon put out. | How the fire started is not known, |but it is thought that it may have |started from about the chimney, as| about a ago another fire started that way, but Mr. Bingham had had | the chimney repaired.

May- nard, who claimed Norwich as her home, against Ezra 1. Maynard of { Bridgeport was continued after it had been heard before Judge Reed at New | London on Friday because Judge Reed had some doubt as to the plaintiff’s residence. She petitioned for a divorce on the ground of cruelty and said that she was in constant fear of her life, husband having threatened to oot her on several occasions. She jsaid that she considered Norwich her ihome, but she has been conducting a 2| Loarding house in Pennsylvania for the past two or three vears. Judge Reed jstated that in view of the doubt as to her residence if testimony could be in- troduced to show that the defendant had residence in Connecticut for the past three years the divorce might be granted.
