MANUFACTURING CO. Shipping Street THAMESVILLE, CONN. NORWICH MAN SUED FOR $1,000 —_— F. D. Vergason of this city is made the defendant in a suit for damages of $1,000 brought by Rudolph Uhlim of New York. The papers in the action, which is the result of an automobile ac- cident last March, were filad with the clerk of the superior court on Friday af- ternoon. Mr. Uhlim claims that on March 28, 1920, about 8 o'clock in the evening, he was standing beside his motorcycle on the 'road between Norwich and Willi- mantic, in the town of Franklin. While he was standing beside the motorcycle Mr. Vergason came along the road in his automobile and ran into him. He was quite badly injured and his motor- cycle was damaged, according to the complaint. He asks damages of one thousand dollars. I VETERANS SHOULD STRAIGHTEN OUT THEIR WAR RECORDS Every veteran of the world war from this state who has any doubt that his record in the files of the war department is incorrect is urged by Capt. Thomas J. Bannigan, adjutant of the Connecticut de- partment of the American Legion, to write at once to Washington to make the necessary correction. The time is short and the matter should be given immedi- ate attention. The war department has announced that it will begin soon to ar- rest alleged draft dodgers throughout the country and that it has prepared a list of names of the men who, it believes, desert- ed their country in time of need. Ex- soldiers have less than two weeks in ich to help the war department clean any misleading or inaccurate facts about them. Captain Bannigan pointed out that it woyld be regrettable to have the names of volunteers, some -of whom died in service, appear with the names of alleged slackers. There are now on wi the records at | Washington 173.911 names of men held to he draft deserters: It is unquestioned that a considerable number of them be- 2 to individuals who had an honorable t in the war. These soldiers, marines llors were volunteers who entered ervice before they were called. Many of them went while the draft law was still in co Others followed before draft boards were organized and the offi- ery set in motion. They and mmediate reletives and friends were only ones cognizant of their going. g eligible for the draft, however, names were written on the lists and not crossed off either during the e werk or after the draft aw ceased to onerate. The list of guests who have accepted ions to addrcss the state convention American Legion in Bridgeport 20 and 21 includes General Clarence y former commander of the 26th division and now in command of the ortheastern department, and Major Gen- *Ryan, commander of the New oYrk 27th. Other prominent guests vho have notified Captain Pannigan that they will attend the convention are Lieu- tenant Governor Clifford’ B. Wilson, may- or of Bridgeport; Rev. Francis A. Kelley of Alban national chaplain of the Le- gion and known as the “Fighting Chap- lain of the 27th division:” R. G. Cholme- ley . director of the war risk insur- ance at \ zton ; R. T. Fisher, acting chief of the federl hoard for vocational education ; Major . H. McKeon, officer in ge of the United States public health e at Allinstown. Governor Holcomb nected to ke present. matters tnat will ccme up before the cen- vention will be a request to eliminate from various honér rolls throughout the state the names of men who are not en- titled to such honor. It was said that many names oh various honor rolls in the ate, and, in fact, throughout the United States, do not belong on these rolls and are not entitled to such recogmition. It was nointed out that on many honor rclls are included the names of men who earn- ed high wages in munition plants and that these names are listed with those of the men who served the government at a dollar a day. A resolution will ask that all the names be checked un and cerified and if it is found that certain names do not belong on the rolls that these names be eliminated. EATTERY D.
