MANY TROUT CAUGHT SUNDAY
Eut Officers Couldn't Find Any That
WeIa Not of Legal Length

Streams throughout Windham coun-
u were lined with trout fishermen yes
terday and a great Part of them caught
rood strings, some having close to the
limit of five pounds each. County
Warden +. II. Mctcalf and Sheriff F.
=. Wellman Travelled over 50 miles by
automobile and the former trampcd 10
miles, but they found no anglers who
were guilty OF having short fish in their
possession.
There seem to be more trout in the
streams tlis season than for a number
of years and this condition is doubtless
due in large measure to the systematic
stocking that has been carried on I'M
Ter the supervision of the Windham
Count Fish & Game club. The number
of small fish in the small streams is
definite evidence that the clubs work
is showing good results and will become
still more noticeable as it is continued.

WOUNDED MEN HOME.
Fifty Of Pershing's Men to Take Part
in Liberty Loan Campaign.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, April %
Fifty American soldiers, most of whom
have been wounded or gassed, have
been brought from France by order Of
President Wilson TO take part in the
Liberty loan campaign, according to an
announcement made by the military
authorities. The party, comprising
enlisted men representing all branches
of the army and commanded by Regi-
mental Color Sergeant John J. Heffer-
nan, arrived on transport Saturday
night. Six of the men wear French
war crosses awarded for gallantry In
action, and all wear the gold "V'' for
foreign service. Many show by in
,ignia on their right arms that they
have been wounded.
Americans go into battle cheering
and waving their hats, said Heffernan
in describing conditions at the Franco
American front. ''The idea was to
put us on quiet sector when we went
over first, he said, "but the sector
didn t remain quiet long with the
Americans in it. They began fighting
the first minute they could and they
have been fighting ever since.
