Many in this city will be interested in learning that Peter Morgan, who attended the grammar schools in Fairfield, and St. Augustine's parochial school in this city, finishing at the Bridgeport High school, has been commissioned as second lieutenant of Marine Corps. He enlisted in April, 1917, two weeks after Congress de- clared war on Germany.
 After six months training at Paris Island s. C., and Quantico, va., he was sent to France last September. Step by step he was promoted to cor poral and sergeant During the re- cent major operations of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments of the Marine Corps he acted as gunnery sergeant, and fortunately came through with out scratch. Last week prepara- tory to taking his place with his regi- ment in the great battle now in pro gress he received his commission.
 His many friends hope the good fortune that has attended him in previous engagements may continue. Every line of Lieutenant Morgan's letters breathe enthusiasm and conf dence in the great cause for which all are devoting themselves. He considers the United States Marine Corps the best branch of General Foch's fighting forces.
 Realizing the necessity for good clean entertainment for the many soldiers and sailors who are constant ly in this city the Women's Commit tee of the War Bureau have planned for big dance on Tuesday evening.
