cheerfully and readily.
General Pershing was CARRIED in
the regulation American khaki SER
vice uniform and came down the
gang plank smiling. vigorous and
looking in the best Of condi.io He
thanked the ships captain for his
safe trip and warmly greeted the
audience of dignitaries who had as
sembled to do him honor.
Among this assemblage was a
guard of honor from the Royal Welsh
fusiliers, accompanied by their fam
GUS regimental band and their equal
ly renowned billy goat mascot. Rep
resentatives of the British admiralty
and the war Office were the first to
greet the American commander and
his staff. With their party was Adj
miral Stileman, senior naval officer
of the port, General Campbell, COM
handing the western district of
England, the general commanding the
local defenses, the lord mayor of the
city, number of local dignitaries
and lastly quite a sprinkling of
American army officers.
The ship which brought Pershing
and his party passed from the dan
ger zone at o'clock yesterday after
noon, arriving close to this port at
one a. m. The journey was then
slowed up, SO that the arrival ashore
might not be too early.
One Hundred Aviators.
: WASHINGTON, June S.-One hun.
dred American aviators to aid in
detecting submarine operations and
other active duty have arrived safely
in France, according to official an
nouncement today.
These are the first officers and men
of the regular fighting forces to act
ually land in France.
Lieutenant Whiting, of Massach-
usetts, is in command. The officers
with him are Lieutenant Chevalier,
Rhode Island; Lieutenant Grfffen,

Consulting British Authorizes.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-General
Pershing probably will consult with
the British war authorities for time
and then go to France where a camp
site has been selected for his divi-
sion.
His staff was selected before de-
parture and the names of the men
who will direct Americas first war

Voluntary Press Censorship.
WASHINGTON, June s. An
nouncement of General Pershing's
arrival in England is the first men,
ton that has been made of his move
ments since he conferred with the
president in Washington two weeks
ago. The effectiveness of the volun-
tary censorship was again demon
strated in this respect for while the
fact that Pershing had sailed was
generally known to press associa
tions, no reference was made to the
fact. 4

Cavalry In Action

Cavalry In Action
[By VIM. Philip Sims, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, June Silk thousand
prisoners so far counted is the score
to date in the great Flanders often
sive.
So complete is the success with
which the drive was still progressing
today that British cavalry are in
action.
Nothing could be cited as indicating
in more remarkable degree the COM
plete breaking of the tremendously
strong German trench lines than this
calling into the offensive of these
quick moving forces-only available
in open fighting.
Great torn fields, huge burrows
plowed as by some BroDdignagian
farmer, tons of loan turned and
churned into blackened dust-this was
the mark across Belgiums fields to-
day where yesterday the British
turned loose every man-contrived en-
CINE of destruction to sweep forward
in victory.
Dante would have found new hell
pictures in the cataclysm which rent
the earth along this twelve mile front
from Ypres to Armentieres yesterday
morning. A vast upheaval Of six hun
dred tons of explosive was the begin
ming. Scattered over miles Of front,
and touched off simultaneously, this
vast force tore up the earth like a
Volcano The country trembled as
though in an earthquake shock.
l was standing on the massive top
of dugout when this shock came.
For several seconds it felt as though
the whole earth had caved in. A
minute before the explosions, the
air was stagnant The conclusion
produced a breeze that twisted the
branches of the trees for miles away.
Great jagged forks of flame shot up
Sa..s 20 the SKIES like tongues Of
lighting.
And then began the artillery roar

BE PREPARED FOR DEATH
 AND AT ANY MOMENT Such is Wisdom on the Part of the Christian, Declares Rev. Peter j. Cuny, at St. Patrick's Church.

Comparing life to a clock, which may run for years. yet must ultimate 1y wear down in it's mechanism and eventually step, Rev. Peter J. Cuny admonished the congregation at St. Patrick's church at the high mass Sunday to be ever ready for that ces- sation of life which men call Death
 To the good Christian there is noth- ing to fear about death, which is merely transition; the state in which man becomes in reality a more nearly perfect image of his Maker. since af- ter the soul has left the body reascn and will forever hold sway, whether during an eternity of happiness or an eternity of punishment - whichever that soul has merited. Exclusion from the Kingdom does not depend upon either God or the devil, but upon man himselfi
 Knowing that death is certain, it is the policy of wisdom to be ever pre- pared for that hour of summons which no one can accurately predict. This preparation is insured by making ire Quent enough use of the sacraments to keep ones self from turning away from God.
 Summarizing his sermon, the preacher advised his hearers, not to worry too much about the past. in so doing letting the opportunities of the present slip away. If sorrow for past sins is sincere, God has forgiven them. There can be but one unpardonable sin, that of final impenitcnce, which continues past death even into eter nifty.
 Don't delay conversion too long, was

 We have gone over the voting lists and checked up all of those who will vote for license Monday and every vote will count

THE CIRCULAR VEIL

Natty Little Lid Offered Among the [. Ready to Wear Millinery This Sea-
 son-Why Some Women Never
 Look We'll Dressed.

Ready-to-wear had, were never smarter, than this season All the modish shades, trimmings and shapes are to be found in great variety and at surprisingly reasonable prices .
 Extremely popular for street wear is the turban with circular veil at tached, and it is a design becoming to nearly every woman.
 Wcrsted trimming, bead, silk and metallic ornaments, the newest in feathers. flowers and foliage, appli- find all these utilized. to give these serviceable and chic hats the stamp of style.
 The woman with mistaken ideas of economy who. while spending extra vagant sums on dressmaking or tail pred suits, gowns and coats, spells the effect of all by fancying she has skill to trim her own hats, would far bet ter invest in one of these ready-to- wear lids, and so make sure that her fall costume will escape looking "tacky." No amateur can ever give professional touch to that most irn- the hat. Better far a plain sailor with a simple ribbon band-but the work of skilled milliner. This is the reason that some women never lock dressed, because they fail to realize the importance of a milliner-made hat be it ever SO simple.
 No woman in Norwich needs to wear ugly lids!
 Stylish hats n1odiahi,. trimmed and
 iced to suit every purse, can be found. if readers will put follow the advice and suggestions of The Bull ietin's advertisers today.
