Twenty-four names of 46 recruits in
a Meriden company in one day were:
LaCroix, Pcrrault, Semrau, Bentvoglio,
Schmidt, O'Brien, Sauter, Raddatz,
Berger, Aichler, Barth, Karmaski, Sa-
hoski, Skeba, Mazza, Demo, Sech,
Schmer, Schultz, Dominic, Bolosivoski,
Blumstein, Gudain, Myzeneky. The
melting pot has certainly done its work.
The old New England names are a very
small minority in the list of recruits.
But rest assured that these boys whose
names you cannot pronounce are true
blue Americans. We who pride our
selves on our Pilgrom and Puritan an.
cestry have something to think about
when we view the list of soldiers who
are ready to fight for their country.

Half German Forces
on Western Front

Paris, Aug. 2.-The German army
on the western front, according to
authoritative sources here, consists of
l22 divisions, comprising much more
than half the German forces in the
field. The precise strength Of the
divisions is unknown, some consist
ing of two brigades and others of
three. Two brigade divisions on a
war footing have 1900 men and
three brigade divisions $1,000, hence
the total strength of the forces on this
front is assumed to be somewhere
between /, ZOO, 600 and 100000.
Numerous prisoners recently taken
are of the 1917 class, that is from 10
to 20 years old.
