 It was stated here Thursday that some of Killingly's iiquor dealers may ask for an extension of time in which to close out their stock of houors. This is permissible, it is stated, under an act passed by recent Connecticut legislature, the co.11ty commissioners having the power to grant an exten- sion of one month if they so desire. Writing from France to his relatives in Dayville, Private George Moran of the fighting 102nd Infantry, made up of Connecticut boys. tells of remark able experiences in sweeping back the Huns and liberating French people who have been inside the. enemy lines for more thar four years. Private Mo- ran tells of being in on the capture of a complete German troop train filled with soldiers, and their supply train with all of it's ammunition He makes mention of the joy with which the on-rushing American
 
 erated French people through whose village his company swept and of the women and children falling @on their knees before the American soldiers and weeping as they reached out and threw their arms around the soldiers legs in their ecstacy of being deliv- cred from the hold of their barbarian captors.
 Private Moran's description of the scenes with which the Americans were welcomed everywhere in the liberated ] territory is a story that thrills all who read it and makes one ever lastingly proud of the Connecticut troops that are making such a great record overseas.

 their influence toward getting tn : planes to come through, for there wer three more machines that did not fig ure in the troubles referred to. , At noon the big fields north of th
