DOM PEDRo's BEACH PARTY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters I was sorry not to see more. Sisters Aug. 10th at Dom PedrO's picnic at Ocean Beach. Although l admit the day was cloudy and cool and looked so much like rain one hardly knew what to do. It proved a very good day; did not rain until on the way home; then not very much. tured to go, and had a very nice time; took in the sea breeze. etc.
 Six left on Willimantic 7.25 car, picked up more on the way down. At Versailles Amy and friend joined us: then at Norwich Aunt Mary, Judith and two other Sisters whose names I'm sorry to say I can't recall.
 At New London when we took the Ocean Beach car Dom Pedro. Married and Happy, also her son and friend, joined us.
 On arriving at the beach, Aunt Hes ter was waiting for US. Later on there were more came. Each one was sup posed to carry their own lunch as re- quested through The Bulletin. By the niZe of one basket it was thought they had come for a week, but when three Ol, four had eaten dinner and supper from it there wasn't much left, as the salt breeze does make one have such an appetite.
 On starting for home was invited to go home with Dom Pedro. Those who accepted had a most delightful visit of two hours ere taking .he car for home, regrettirg we could not stay longer in her pleasant and slightly home. Were entertained in seeing some of her handiwoTk, such as em- brOidcTy, SCarfs, rugs, etc, also other fancy articles which would make a fine display at the fair this fall.

Fleeing Youth Shot
By Rural Policeman

Last Thursday afternoon while
running from Rural Policeman
4. W. Moore, stationed at Nc
Bee. John Boan, youth of II
years, was shot through the face
and seriouslay injured.
1t seems that young Boan had
bought bicycle in Camden and
moved from there to Chester
field county before payments on
the wheel were completed. A
warrant for his arrest was issued
and forwarded for execution to
Mr.. Moore.
When Moore was looking for
the lad he Is said to have met
him in the road and not know
ing him, asked him where young
Boan could be found. Receiv.
ing an evasive reply, Moore ask
ed a woman nearby the same
question and was told that that
was Boan to whom he was talk
Moore is said to have turned
and started after the boy, who
took to his heels, when the po-
liceman is alleged to have fired,
and Boan fell seriously wounded.
In extenuatlon Mr.. Moore.
says he only fired to frighten the
youth, that boy turned his head
in time to receive the ball in his
lower jaw. 1t took an upward
course and emerged through the
opposite cheek.
The boy received first aid from
DR.. Gregory and was then sent
to the hospital at Colum b,a,
where he was visited by Sheriff
d. 2. Douglass, who says the
doctors report him in a fair way
to recover.

A Weekly Review
OF The, Great War

Inspired by the presence q
their Emperor and led by Grown
Prince Frederick William, tn,
German troops are engaged i,
enc of the greatest battles Of the
war on the western front, cen.
tering around the fortress OF
Verdnn. Attack has followed
attack against the French line
after bonn bardments incessant
and terrific, continuing..for sever.
IL days.
While the Germans have not
been able, despite the rain of
shells and furious onslaughts by
the infantry, to break the
French line, nevertheless the
French on their right and left
wings have been compelled to
withdraw their lines, respective
ly to the south of Ornes and be-
hind the town of Samogneux,
six miles north of the fortress.
The German attack on this
French stronghold has become one
of the chief operations of the war.
1t is the first effort since the
original drive of the German
armies to break through the
main line of the French and
strike for Paris-for there can
be little doubt that Paris would
become the objective if Verdun
were captured and the French
defense at that POINT broken.
The position is one of the strong
est In Europe, and, perhaps, the
strongest on the western front.
The Germans are making a real
ly desperate effort to capture it,
and already have paid a heavy
price for the initial success they
have had, and they have made
n" more than u dent in the rim
Cf the citadel. The cost of com
plete success on the same scale
would be staggering, but long
before that is reached, the eff
fort may be found in vain. The
chances are that it will be. For
