POLISH YOUNG MEN
Being Urged to Enlist by Recruiting
 Officer krayewski.


 Polish young men of Danielson and vicinity who have claimed exemption or deferred classification under the ground that they are aliens are being urged by Sergeant s. J. Krayewsl1i. who is recruiting in this section for the Polish army being raised in the United States and Canada and made ready for fighting in France under officers of their own nationality. to enlist for service. Sergeant Krayew- ski says this is the onS~ exemption district in Connecticut from which volunteers have not been obtained.
 Sergeant Krayewski points out that the Polish residents owe a great deal to the United States and that they should come forward and offer them selves for service in the interest of this nation, which gives them the splendid opportunities they are en- toying. The young citizenship of Connecticut is moving forward to inc battle lines and it is regarded as fully as incumbent upon the Polish young men here to come forward as the young men of their race are doing in every other section of Connecticut where the race is represented

the. same merciful ends. Mrs. S. I. Frink of that place issued the fol- lowing statement Thursday:
 There seems to be a question in the mind of some people as to how the funds for the War Relief Association arc obtained. The annual member ship fee of course helps materially, but when it is known that about one hundred dollars is needed monthly to keep material on hand for the sweat CTS, socks, shirts, bandages, etc, which are of the greatest necessity to our sick and wounded boys. it will be plainly seen that something must be done. So far the funds .have been contributed mostly by out of town friends who have most generously donated money, worsted or cloth. Many of our village ladies spend one two or three afternoons a week at the War room while those unable to get to the rooms are working none the less faithfully at home. The greater part of our work is sent di- rect to Mime. Duryea to France. whose grateful letters of acknowledgement make us feel that we are indeed work ing for a most worthy object.
 It remained for our patriotic citi- zen, William H. CleWley. to devise this i1OF0I PIdh. I10 IS dShlHS all WHO Will, especially the men, to join his Red, White and Blue club by giving one dollar or more a month to the War Relief Associations. He already has quite a list of names and of course more will be added. It Is planned to have at the semi-annual meeting of the War Relief pledge cards and it is hoped that these two schemes will give the treasurer a definite sum with which to carry on the work.
 Can Enlist in Navy. The local board has issued to Ken meth H. Hamilton certificate that will permit him to enlist in the United States navy. MT Hamilton formerly was a member of the old 18th com pany, most of the members of which are now in France.

II11 o'clock) and We had to@leaves
them behind, going on 10 Chicago.
Tor a wrecking crew. The first half
of the train stopped near Chicago
where George, the porter, made up
the berths. For 4 mrs we lay there
while the train crew went back to get
the other section. This gave US an
opportunity to sleep, which we ade
the most Of. The train did ret go
off the track - didn't know it hap
pend until later. No one hurt
About 4 A. NJ July III, the
other section was joined and we pro-
ceeded our way to Chicago. We
passed thru that part Of Chicago
which is known as Western Avenue
ard did not really see anything
worth while. Here we changed train
crews.
From Chicago to Peru, Ind the
scenery was uninteresting, many
cornfields and many tu%,nbled-down
farmhouses = many Of. the farmers
evidently just making bare living
expenses.
At Peru, Ind, 14e miles from
Cincinnati: we were taken of the
train and marched by wards into
the town (dry), and had breakfast,
u perhaps it was dinner. q don't
know how many meals we are going
to get to-day. The neal consisted
of meat and potatoes, coffee, bread
and butter. Fair meal that's all.
Here the train "laiI over" fot an
hour. It's a fair sized town q
mailed you a postcard Ct it). but
dry, as dust and absolutely dead, no
excitement, no Red Cross. The fell
lows wandered around everywhere,
and while our bunch was doing moth
ing in particular, we noticed a bunch
IF 18th warders going into az ice
cream factory, and coming out with
ice-cream, which they said they had
obtained gratis. Our bunch imniedi-
ately stormed the place, each receiv-
ing a paper plate and tin spoon, but
when we got to the can, the ice-cream
was gone. Stung! You should have
heard the yell of disappointment.
The train whistled for departure
and we had to beat it back, ice
creamless. /
2:20 P. NJ. July, u.
We are still passing thru uninter-
esting farming count y, stopping
now and then for water or coal The
next town of any Importance is Gin
cinnati, which we will probably reach
this afternoon at t or 5 o'clock. At
the present time we have moi yet
travelled half way and are already 4
or 5 hours late. The first troop
leaving from Mpls. this week ar
rived at camp IS hours late.
At Cincinnati the Rcd Cross will
undoubtedly again meet US. | hope
SO, anyway. You know. our crowd
is getting to be an awful bunch of
grafters; we expect everything gra-
tbs At first the fellows were a lit
tie bashful in accepting refreshments,
etc., but now, oh my! You ought to
see them. Still, at the same time,
we will never forget the Red Cross,
and we will be everlastingly thank
ful to them for what they have done
for us. The fellows surely endeavor
to show their appreciation of what
they are doing for us.
Just arrived at Munice, Ind, and
vii! try to mail it from here.
With love,
George.
The above is a letter from George
Rasmussen, son of Mr. and Mrs.
