LOST LIFE IN
 THAMES AT MASSAPEAG
Alden R. Wilcox Fell From Barge and
 Was Drowned.

Alden R. Wilcox, 21 years old, of Mystic, was drowned early Tuesday afternoon in the Thames river off Massapeag. The young man fell from a sand laden barge. He was employed by the New London Sand and Stone Go. on one of the motor launches used by~the company as motor tugs to draw barges loaded with sand.
 Wilcox had brought his launch, the seen by other men at work there to get aboard the barge. No one saw him fall overheard or heard the splash. his absence first being noticed when his launch which had not been made fast was noticed adrift. As soon as possible men from the barge made in a launch for the spot where Will COX was feebly struggling to keep afioat. A life preserver was thrown him. but he was too weak to grasp it and he sank from view. It was nec- essary to cast the preserver a conid- erable distance as there was not time to bring the launch near to the spot where the drowning man was strug- gling for life.
 The point where the drowning oc- cured is nearly opposite Gales Fer ry. The river bottom is being dragged for the body.
 Wilcox is the son of George l. Will cox of Mystic, who was notified at once of the sad accident The victim of the fatality was a native of Mystic and was formerly employed by the Mystic Creamery Co. He had been in the employ of the New London Sand and Stone Co but two weeks. Be- sides his father, a sister Mrs. Elmer Hewitt of Lyme survives.

INSURE AGAINST
 GHASTLY DEFEAT!
Every American Home Will Feel Sol- enn Nature of the Death GrappIe.

The American people have plunged into the gulf of war and they must fight their way out with sword and Sinew.
 The sword of victory will be forged from the dollars of the people. The Liberty Loan will help to win the war. The alternative is an over whelming disaster for us.
 We are at war, whether we like it or not. The groans of our wounded have not yet reached our ears. The casualty lists of our dead have not yet been posted. The full rorce of our sacrifice has not yet been felt. But these will come.
 The United States has to fight it's way to liberty by wading through blood and every American home will feel the solemn nature of the death grapple. The world can be made safe for democracy" only after a year or more of tremendous sacrifice in men and money.
 Our 50o,00O army of liberation will fight in Europe; but the real fight will be at home to back up that army with dollars. Every dollar that the people from additional economies will be needed.
 No man is exempt. No man Is too poor to do his bit by subscribing for q Liberty Loan bond, a $50 pond, or S100 bond.
 It is the duty of every man to make a solemn effort to save. up for the purchase of Q bond. In doing so he not only insures victory in place of defeat for the United States, he not only insures his own savings in a gilt edged interest-bearing convertible in- vestment in a first mortgage on the United States, but he insures the con- tinuance of business and industry and of his own occupation. Take out your war insurance today; buy a Liberty bond.

 IT. who have this room have jumped to my death in the Sound. No one can conceive of my suffering. It will be over by this, but I can no longer en- dure my sufferings and face the world"
 Mrs. Tyler's body was discovered by an attendant of the boat just as it was leaving the pier. The vessel put back and the body was taken in charge by a deputy coroner. In ad- dition to the note she left letters addressed to her mother, Mrs. Emma Barnes~of 50 Norwood avenue, and to her son, George R. Wells of Hartford.
 A sister of Mrs. Tyler. residing with her mother in Norwood avenue, said that Mrs. Tyler had not been in her right mind for several weeks About a year ago Mrs. Tyler was brought to the state hospital at Nor wich for treatment and observation, but after she had been there a few hours she was discharged by the of ficials who declared that she did not need any treatment.
 Mrs Tyler continued to act queerly after her dismissal however. During the past year she has been i'll almost continually, but she had been often heard to threaten to take her life when she got on her feet.
 For the past few days, prior to last Tuesday, Mrs. Tyler had been i'll in bed at her cottage at the Golden Spur where she has been attended by Mrs.
