William Ralferty Saves Two from
 Dr0N1'ng

William Ratlerty, Is, son of MT. and Mrs. Vim. +. Raiierty, Grove street, saved two of his friends from drown ing at Columbia lake near Wiliman- tic Sunday. Young Ratierty showed a commendable coolness and presence of mind in n critical situation and,pos- sibly his training AS n Boy Scout may have figured in his prompt and heroic action. His deed iwas highly praised by Willimantic people but the act was performed by the young man as a mat ter of course and with no feeling of having done anything unusual.
 Ratletiy was the guest of John Hill in Willimantic and with other friends was at Coldmbia lake. Ilill and Miss Lillian ,Cheney were bathing at the lower end Of the lake in what is known as Schoolhouse Cove, when Hill Isug. gested swimming to a boat some dis tance out. When nearly out to the boat Hill heeame ,scared and called to his companion for help, Miss Cheney responded, but was unable to eNtricate herself from his gnp and was forced under water. Rstierty hastened to their help and loosened Hill's hold, and took him ashore Miss Cheney was taken to shore in boat.

Friday, William Fsrnum sill enter tain in his m ssteT role Of samson. The play is not the Biblical story but q modern story from the pen Of Henri Bernstein. samson, when presented at The Hippodrome in New York, broke the admission record. That the play is q real flesh and blood story may be glesned from the fact that in one of the mob scenes Nr. Fsrnum in fight ing of mOb or men forgot thai he was acting snd the result wns that he maimed lew men and was himself laid up in the hospital with two bf0k
 en ribs and a smashed hand. That $ William Fsrnum in everything he does, nothing Bsmoy pamby about William. N hetner the play is stron g
 CT than the actor or the actor stronger than the play k difficult matter to de- eide, but the one conclusion that can be drawn is that the combination is wonderfully masterfli.

 h q letter recently received from our pasfor he speaks of a meeting that he attended last Sunday evening at the Seaman's Bethel at Vineyard Ha- ven. There was only small fleet Of sail in the hafbor and consequently only ten sailors were present, but these ten coming from six vessels represent ed five different nationalities. One was Bohemian, one a Norwegian one from Nova Scotia, one from New Brunswick, and the others from Maine. Three were young men in their teens, one WAS the captain Of his ship and all were intelligentiand interesting men. While the service continued until nearly le o'clock and A thick fog hung over the harbor making 1t difficult to find the vessels yet everyone seemed unwilling to leave the Bethel and showed the greatest appreciation ot the work lhat was being attempted by Captain Edwards TheW E no doubt thni this branch of Christian beHeFo- ience is worthy of 6nr heaTtlest sym palhy and help.
 Through the courtesy of Captain  Edwards the Bethel boat, the Helen May, was placed ut our pastors dispo. sal at two different times. On one oe- casion the party visited Cuttyhunk, the farthest south of the Elizabeth Is- lands, making Il cruise of eight hours on the water The second time Capt.

BRITISH SOLDIERS PIERCE W|LOS
WHERE EVEN CAMELS CANNOT TRAVEL


LONDON, Feb. 4.-Fighting the
Turks and Arabs in the desert of
Mesopotamia, where in plalces even
camels cannot go; where after the
Euphrates is left behind water is
more precious than powder and the
tribesmen show no quarter to the
wounded, is described by Sergeant
A. Kingdom, of the Second battalion
Norfolk regiment in letter to his
mother at Thetford.
I'VE came by ship (from India) up
the river Euphrates," he writes, land
disembarked on a lovely landing, up
to the waist in mud and water. Not
tree in sight nor blade of grass,
except on the river banks, which are
covered with date palms. We march
ed all the next day through mud.
Anything with wheels cannot be
taken, and packs of mules and cam
els are no good, because their big
feet pick up too much sand.
1--WE lay in the wet mud on the
desert all night and moved away
early again in the morning, to find
the enemy in position. They con-
sisted of Turks and Arabs, about
1,4OO yards to our front. The attack
was pushed home under cover of our
mountain batteries; the field artillery
came up later. The artillery horses
were so completely knocked out that
they could not walk away, from the
guns when unlocked. The troops
also were knocked out; and in the
ID htime the enemy's artillery was
having ii all their own way
Our only transport is mules with
ammunition, and they frequently fall
down and have to be picked up Any
how, the enemy were in theii
trenches with a. decided advantage
and were delivering murderous fire
But by supreme effort after we got
the enemys range we kept our fire
coolly delivered, and within half ar
hour the Turks were retiring, leaving
the Arabs to cover their retreat
They remained another quarter o.
an hour, and meanwhile we had fixef
our bayonets for the grand finale
but evidently they did not wish tt
prolong their stay.
Everyone, especially the Indians
was anxious for a charge, but the
birds flew before we reached thei
trenches. 1t is all right fighting thu
Turks; but the Arabs use big muzzl'
rifles with an enormous lead bulle
which will smash anything, and no
make pretty little hole like thu
Turks pointed bullet which will hea
in no time. The black powder from
the Arabs rifles also causes so mucl
smoke that it is impossible to Sc
the actual firer. They are blood
thirsty lot, these Arabs, and whel
the men lay wounded that will shoe
you at yards distance, A subade
of the natives was shot in this way.
