ENLIsTs AT Y.
But 0orria Tetreaut Cannot Be Lo-
 cated by Mother.

Dorria Tetreault. r wear old son of Mrs Elizabeth -Tetreault. Of Wood stock avenue this city presents one Of the. little problems of the war in 9emuch as he appears to have devel- oned a habit of getting ont of touch with his people 1,ere and keeping them in a state of worry
 In November last h. left here os- tensibly to visit relatives in Wili- mantle No more was heard from him until late in December when letter came from Kelley fe}d at San Antonio, Tevas. stating that he had enlisted in the service
 His patriotism, especially so ar dently displayed in one so young, rought joy to his mother but this again changed to worry when letters addressed to him returned unopened.
 In the letter that he wrote home hn neglected to give his re"imental or company designation and this may account for letters sent from here not reachin" him. Inquiry at Kelley fiell shows that he is not there now and there is no record Of him jn the a7- iutant generals office at Hartford. Trace of him may he found through the office of the adiJtant generals or- fee t Washington and inquiry at th's source is now bein% made It is as sumed here that the organization to which he is attached has gone over saes. No effort will bn made to se rure his release from the service. but bis neat'e are anxious to get in touch with him.
 Motor Laws to Be Enforced. Through the police department of ti7e city. it is announced, a strenuous eHort will be made to enforce the au- tomobile law and the traffic law in ! all particulars. including the regula- tons pertaining to automobiles pass ing standing trolley cars parking in 1 forbidden areas, hitching horses left standing in the street, etc. etc. l Warning are being issued of the 1 plan to enforce the law. One case de- l yeloped on Thursday morning, when | Walter Wheaton was charged with i leaving a horse in the street without l hitching the animal. Because of what i he considered extenuating circum- l stances, Judge NJ. H. Geissler of the city court took no other action than to place the case on file.
 Getting Ready For Drive.
 The Putnam Red Cross districts campaigning organization to raise s7.- i 300 of the $10O, 100000 fund that the country will give next week was not 1 completed up to Thursday afternoon i but 1t will be in time to start the drive with tremendous energy Mon day next
 Since the drive last fall the won | derful work and the urgent need ot 1 the Red Cross has been borne in more | strongly upon hundreds of citizens and the giving is expected to be more liberal. even. than it was in the fall
 There is also the consolation to the giver that every cent of every, dollar given goes to make life more con- l fortable for the country's fightins men. In fact. statistics just given out show that for every dollar given ir | the drive last fall. so far as the mon-
 ey had been used up to March 1, s1.0: was expended for the benefit of the men in uniform. This sounds strange but it was made possible by the heavy interest earnings on the scores o
 millions that the Red Cross had or
 deposit. As good record will bt made with the next s1o0 o00, 900. The
 administration expense of the Rec Cross is met from the dues paid an
 nually by the 22,000,000 members il
 now has in this country.
