OFFICERS SCHOOL
 FOR STATE GUARDS

Schools for privates and non-com- missioned officers of the Fourth In fantry, Connecticut State Guard, sta toned in Bridgeport, are in process of organization, and classes for exam fination of candidates will be announc- ed soon. The course of training will include lectures and assigned studies by state majors, stationed in this dis trict.
 The opening of military schools here is regarded as an advanced step in the progress of universal training which will be greatly emphasized after the war, was the opinion of military off, cers who are stationed in the city. Moreover, the shortage of the requir- ed number of officers in the Fourth Infantry forced the military school issue to the surface, 1t was said. The many features of the training Is ex- pected to develop rigid discipline i among the officers, thus increasing the effectiveness of the State Guard.

whose voices have called so
often to us; whose small,
brown feet came pattering
to our call. They are fight

the long, tense vigil. In the
grey dawn theymove across
the tortured soil.
Our little barefoot boys,
we wait for them today!
God grant that they may
come soon; yet 0nly in Vic

Well, there isn't much news that we

Ny Dear Clarence:
This will be my fifth letter today and
if struggle through this one / will feel
that | have done quite we'll
Your letter of a few days ago was
very interesting indeed Would have
answered the day | received it had it
not been for the fact that we were get
ting ready to fight just about that time.
Well Clarence, this is the third fight
which | have been in since l arrived in
France, to say nothing of my trench
sojourn. Have been quite busily en-
gagged fighting against the kaiser ever
since March. Of course, that does not
make whole lot of difference as long
as one can realize results, and | guess
there is no question as to our results.
We were in a. forest for several days
previous to the attack on the St. Mihiel
salient. The rain kept up all the time
we were there, SO that by the time we
were ready to attack it was very wet and
muddy The night of the attack, it was
SO dark that we were obliged to count
off from time to time in order to keep
from getting lost. The only time we got
a chance to see the path or road over
which we waded was when the fright
ened Germans sent up flares along their
but, nevertheless after several
hours we arrived at our destination,
and watersoaked Well
you already know what degree of sue
cess was ours.
1t was indeed pleasing to see the
''Heinies" come in. They looked very
1own-hearted which is quite contrast
10 . the way they looked and acted a
couple of months ago when they felt
sure they were going to Paris. Guess /
hat Paris bug of theirs has been knock

give much if they could drop back to

With The colors

Meade County's interest in
Uncle Sans forces continues to
grow. Last week John NARROW
enlisted in the Coast Artillery
and is now at Fort Logan, Colo
.rado. John was not yet of age,
but what he lacked in years he
made up for in patriotism, as
will be seen from his action.
He was a graduate of the Meade
high school, class Of 1917. He
is the third son of Mrs. A.. 0,
Rosenberg now with the col
orS.
This week Victor Ragland
left for Wichita where he will
enlist in the Coast Artillery
Band. Victor is nineteen years
old, but felt that his services
were needed in winning the
war. He has been associated
with his father in the meat mar
ket, and was also member of
the Meade Municipal Band. In
both places he will be greatly
missed.
Orville Van Hoesen left Sun
day for Manhattan where he
will take a course in the me-
chanical department, having
enlisted for that work. Pre-
vious TO enlisting he had been
engaged in farming.
These boys are among Meade
County's best and the well
wishes of all our people are
with them as they 60 forth to
do their part in winning the
war.
