WOUNDED men FOUND
HOSPITAL DECORATED
Time Had Been Hanging so Heavily
On Nurses Hands They Did Not
Know What 10 Do.

When wounded soldiers We're first
brought into one of the American
base hospitals N France, during the
German offensive, those of them who
we're enough alive to the world to
tnotice their surroundings were sur
prised at the appearance of their
nurses and doctors.
| Clowns, harlequins, everything but
regulation Red Cross nurses and doc
! tors ministered to their needs. More
over, great bowls of red poppies and
blue cornflowers made the rooms
where some of them were quartered
astonishingly gay.
This hospital with its staff of nur-
ses and doctors had been ready for
business for weeks without a patient.
Time had hung heavy and home sick
ness threatened everybody. To keep
the morale of the community in trim
for what was surely coming, Y. w.
lC. A. workers who have charge OF
the nurses clubs in Red Cross huts
at American base hospitals had made
the rooms bright and CHEEKY with
the evenings as gay as the limitations
of an army hospital compound would
allow.
On the evening in question:
masquerade party was on, and the
neighboring town as well as the
wardrobes of the nurses and doctors
| had been secured for makeshift make
ups.
Just as the ice was going into the
fruit punch the telephone rang
sharply. BE ready to receive pa
tients al once" was the order. The
Germans are advancing" Not only
the hospital. but the nurses social
rooms had to be filled with cots and
there had not been minute to re
Imoye the evidences of a party.

REV. R. k. GRAHAM SPEAKS
 TO GET-ToGETHER CROWD

Over 150 men of the U S. service attended the 'get together at the Norwich '. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, this being by far the largest number in the history of these gatherings
 All through the day the lobby of the "" was occupied by large numbers of the men of the service, and as the Tour for the "get together" drew near they Hooked to the association build ind, and though the lobby is large it was none too large to accommodate tle crowd. After several fine selec- tons by Swahn's orchestra, consisting q James Drew, pianist, William Ma bne, violinist, and John Swahn, cor Eetist, the boys sang with vim the popular war songs, and when they were asked to sing Nearer. My God. to Thee, they entered into the singing of this fine old hymn just as heartily. Mrs. Russell Baird sang two solos which were loudly applauded: she also song the verses of Home Fires, the fellows singing the chorus.
 The address of the occasion was de- lvered by Rev. Richard R. Graham, who certainly held the interest of every man present. He said in part: T feel, boys, that I ought to speak ito you today on the reiigious aspect of the great war which is now past While the people were celebrating the great victory last Monday, I was in New York attending the memorial ser vice of a cousin of mine who was killed in battle in France. While the memorial services were being con Cucted in the Fifth avenue church. the great throng of people were celebrat ing outside. As we listened to the service in memory of the brave young man who had given his life for his country, I know his mother, who sat beside me, though her heart was sad felt just pride that her oldest boy with others had made the victory pos sible. While 1 want you to think often of the sacrifice made for you by Jesus Christ, l also want you to remember i that these thousands of our boys who died in France also died for you an for our country. While all the sol. diers of the allies have been brave and courageous in battle, and while our own American boys played a very i'm portant part in bringing the war to a successful close, after all back of ii all was God, and He it is to whom we owe the praise. What will the results
 of this awful war be? It is up to you boys to decide what the results will be If you live the lives you should live
 and are the men you should be, the IWar vii not have been in vain,''
 l The audience appauded MT. Graham 'very loudly.
 After the address. the ladies o1 Christ Episcopal church served lunch
 of sandwiches, pie and coffee, mucf ito the delight of the men, The boys showed unmistakab1y their apprecia. ton of the home touch and the ladies

LAUREL HILL HOUSE
 FOUND IN DISORDER

While the family of r. Herbert Brown of 125 Laurel Hill avenue was away for q few days last week. the house was entered by some unknown person or persons and although it is reported that nothing has been stolen. the house was thoroughly ransacked. It presented a scene of confusionwhen the family returned, finding the con- tents of bureau drawers turned out on the floor. the covering pulled off beds, and clothes presses in disorder.
 The front door was found unlocked and standing open but not so that it would be noticed from the street. It is the police theory that someone got in with a key that fitted a door of the house as no windows or doors were found forced.
