 It was to be witnessed with your own eyes to appreciate Its vastness.
 At our pzrt of the hnes the influx

 Traverstng the gun back and forth along the mass of Germans he saw them break and run back to the cover of their trench, leaving their dead and wounded behind He had saved his company, he, Lloyd, the coward, had :. done his bit" Releasing the. thrnnh piece, he looked af the watch on his wrist. He was stin alive, and the hands pointed to :3S," the time set for his death by the court.

 The sentence of the court aad been - duly carried out The captain slowly raised the limp form dropping over the gun, and. wiping the blood from the white face recognized it as Lloyd, the coward o: D Company. Reverently covering the face with his handkerchief, he turned to his ''nol-ccms," and in a voice husky vgfIa ernc<ion, addressed them. Boys. It's. Lloyd the ceserter He has redeemed himself, died the death of a hero. Died that his mates might live.''
 That afternoon, solemn procession wended its way toward the cemetery Tn the front a stretcher was carried by two sergents Across the stretcher the Union Jack was carefully spread. Behind the stretcher came a cantain and forty-three men, all that were left of D Company.
 Arriving at the cemetery, they halted in front of an open grave. All about them, wooden crosses were broken and trampled into the ground.
 A grfzzled old sergeant, noting this destruction. muttered under his breath: Curse the cowardly blighter who wrecked those crossesl If could only get these two hands around his neck. his trip West would be a short one"
 The corpse on the stretcher seemed to move, or t might have been the wind blowing the folds Of the Union Jack.

 The high wind Sunday morning forced Baltic people to adopt the walking backward method in order to prevent being blown against buildings, fences and other objects An old sea captain while passing through Railroad street said the direction of the wind was here, there and everywhere ? Limbs were ripped from trees, hats blown off and lines stripped of clothes One young lady wearing fur scarf had 1t lifted from her shoulders by a heavy gust and carried quite a way before boy recovered it. One young Beau Brunch in town purchased a new spring lid Saturday and wore it Sunday for a wfile-when last seen it was being carried away by the waters of the Shetucket.
 The wind greatly interfered with telephonic communication at different times, causing a whistling noise on the wires. On Baltic Heights and on De- pot Hill, two of the highest attitudes in the village, the wind caused the most disturbance. Swings that had been placed in yards during the summer months were fit for kindling wood at some homes. The gale continued throughout the day and there was no let-up until evening.

 Captain BeIlanger of the Sentinels said Saturday that he had slated a match game between his men and a young ladies' bowling team from the Elm City, to be played soon. George Roy is making 8 good showing, as are other members of the team. and it is expected that 1t will be an interesting game when the girls and the Sentinels meet.
 Despatched Twenty. Rats. Mars, the famous bulldog owned by Robert, has record for capturing rats on the run. Saturday Walker was exercising his dog on leash when Mars caught sight of a large water Shannon building. With a leap he escaped from his master, started in pursuit of the rat and got him; he shook him up, tossed him into the air and started in to clear up 19. other rats that were making a. quick get away. These he disposed of in the same manner. Walker said his dog never molests cats, but when a rat shows up Mars is right there on the job. The dog performed the feat in remarkably short time.
