IF there is any foundation at all for

themselves with ina ginary authority

fred Y. HEINZMAN
WAS Is YEARS OLD
Probably Youngest Soldier in
Overseas Expeditionary Force

Though only Is years old Private
Fred w. Heinzman, the first New
Britain soldier to sacrifice his life in
battle, was a hero, i'm bued with p.
spirit Of patriotism that is only occa-
sfonally found. He was probably the
youngest soldier serving under the
Stars and Stripes in France. While
only a boy in years he was q man
in stature and he easily passed the
scrutiny of the recruiting officer last
summer
It's no use to take me out. Dad.
If you do I'll run away again and
enlist I'm going to be q. soldier and
do my bit in this war declared Pri-
vate Heinzman to his father at the
camp at Yale bowl. last summer,
Where he was found after disappear
ing from home. Approaching the
fighting spirit of the boy the elder
Heinznlan permitted him to remain
with the company. 1t was apparent
to Mr. Heinzman that the young re-
cruit was well liked by his comrades
in Company B. When he said good
bye" to his father the Sunday pre-
vious to the sailing of the troops for
overseas service last September Pri
waite Heinzman was cheerful and as
sured his father that he would give
a good account of himself. 'We've
got to win this war, Dad. and l want
to- help" he said.
The same spirit was manifested in
letters written from the battlefield.
One of the last letters, probably his
last, was written on March 4, and
was only recently received. Private
Heinzman wrote as follows:
II have been living in a dug-out
for the last three weeks and expect
to be here about three more weeks.
We are resting for five days, having
come out of the trenches last night.
A bullet from a, rife is good enough
from me, but when it comes TO hear
the big shells burst over your head
it is past me.
Il bought three Liberty Bonds and
I will have them paid up in July.
When they are paid up 7 will get
$3.50. Besides the bonds I took So
900 insurance. 1t cost me S6.41 a
month.
IT have got enough crumbs on me
to pull an artillery. We don't get
a chance to take a bath in this
country"
Private Heinzman was the son of
Frs&erick and Bertha Zimmerman
Heinzman. He attended the public
schools. He developed physically to
mans proportions, standing nearly six
feet tall when only ID years old. He
was q carrier on one of the Herald
delivery routes for a long time and his
faithful service was appreciated by mis-
customers. After leaving school he
entered the employ of S. P. Strop1e on
Church street, leaving there to enlist
in Co. 3, Second Regiment Connecti-
cut Infantry, as the regiment was
then known. Besides his parents, he
leaves two brothers, Charles and
Edwin.

moderate liquidation. Investment rails

to 2 1-2 and the war issues lost / to 2
points. The early reaction in oils and
specialties was generally extended,
trading becoming more active on the
decline. Fractional rallies occurred at

Appreciates Service of Salvation Army
and Y. M. C. A. in France.

William Buell., who is serving IN
an ambulance unit in France, foun-
a Hartford Courant in a box received
and became indignant over reading
the following:
ITO the Editor of The Courant:
1T disturbs me to read in today's
'Courant' of an effort of the Saliva
ton Army to raise another million
dollars, this time for huts for the
soldiers. Haven't we had one sub
scription for this purpose and, in any
event. does not that come within
forces already active and aided? In
my modest opinion there should be
fewer instead of more efforts to raise
enormous sums for "relief." 1t is
concentration, not diffusion, that is
needed. 1 would rather subscribe
for the Salvation Army right here at
home, than to help it branch out into
hut-worz in Europe.
CITIZEN.

Mr. Buell. writes to his father:
II received Hartford Courant in
one of my boxes, and in it was the

would like to write to this "Citizen 20
It is the huts of the Y. NJ. G. A. and
Salvation Army over here that give
the soldiers the only recreation. I
do not speak for myself: I have no
time for recreation, but the men re-
turning from the front should have
such places as the Y. NJ. G. A. and
Army huts."
