 Fairfield, June 20.-On Sunday morn ing, at St Paurs church, Fairfield. a beautiful flag was presented to the church in memory of the late Judge William B. Glover. The flag hangs at the right of the chance1, and the rec tor, Rev Allen E. Beeman. held a short dedicatory service at the begin- ming of the morning service. His re- marks were as follows:
 Today is. d Red Letter Day in the history of our land. It commemorates the hour when the men of America found they could stand against the veteran legions of the old world. So lit was f1tly chosen to be the occasion to give this beautiful flag to St. Paufs church to Jnang here for years as ban ners have ever hung in the storied fanes of Christendom.
 Mrs. Samuel Glover presents this flag to be a memoral to her son, Will liam Brown Glover, ilong time warden and vestryman of this church, to which he. devoted unstinted pains and oversight. iEe was foremost in fur thering all the forward and patriotic movements of this town, and the re- spect and affection of his fellows chose him to wear the ermine of a judge. This robe he treasured unsullied to the lgrave.'
 These remarks were followed ;by the prayers of dedication, and by quota tions from several American poets, Appropriate music was rendered.

French General Helped Corporal
 Garry Water Jugs

Saloniki, June 20.-Genera1 Bail loud. commanding part of the French expeditionary force in. the Balkans, is so popular with his men that near ly every good story originating in his corps is either about him or attribut- ed to Him. The latest anecdote going the rounds tells how soldier of the rough and ready style was returning to quarters near Monastir with wa ter jug in each hand? Coming across another mud-stained 'poilu'' sitting beside the road, he hailed him:
 Hello, old man.
 ''Hello," replied the other
 s'Say, can't you carry one of these jugs for me?"
 Sure and they went on together
 Would you believe it,'' said the first soldier, they've chucked me into the grade of corporal.
 What of that,'' replied the other didn't they chuck me into the grade of general?''
 After nearly dropping his jug, the soldier drew closer and made out three faint stars on a mud-stained sleeve. He sdrew himself up at at tention and saluted
 Walk on, corporal said General Bailloud, who wouldn't consent to i give up his jug.

PARISlAN GIRL STRIKERS WEAR
 COLORS OF U. s.
Desiring Half Holiday Sat urday They Adopt Stars
 And Stripes as Emblem

Paris, June 20.-American flags were worn by a great many of the Partisan sewing girls during their re- cent strike Asked why they chose the Starg Spangled Banner as the standard of tneir revolt, one of them replied: Why because we demand the 'semaine angiaise, (the English week with Saturday half holiday.)
 .-Then wouldn't the British flag be more appropriate ?" it was asked.
 Perhaps. but the 'drapeau stoile' more becoming"
 That was a real Rue de la Paix req son, but there was another, entirely
 unconnected with coquetry; it was the new meaning the United States of America has acquired in France.
 To the French common people in general, who travel little and are not very strong on geography. America had long been a country in the vague distance, celebrated for it's billion aires and from whence long absent
 relations returned with fabulous wealth to save the financial situation of their families. The Uncle from America" became legendary through drama George Washington. Lincoln PA0t~O in the French mind. &A. France learned nuchs about the Uni- ted States the first, two years of the war through American motor ambu- lances and hospitals, American com forts and relief of all kinds sent to soldiers and civilian sufferers, and through Aerican tobacco of which nearly every soldier had 8 share. She was all ready to pour out her heart to America, which she has done free i ly since the United States became her ally.
 No one in France has the advan- tage cf the Partisan sewing girl or
 "midineNte," ass they call her, in either sentiment UT patriotism; no strike in the French capital ever had so much sentiment n1ixed with it; consequent l ly there was nothing more natural than their choice of the colors of their new
 e....ss.
