New Britain'S largest contribution
to the National Army, since the first
contingent went early in Sepember,
left this morning at 1921 o'clock when
about 200 young men entrained for
Camp Upton at Yaphanl1, L. I. There
was a very large crowd at the depot
to see them off and there was more
enthusiasm and also more sad leave
taking than at any other time since
the first draft left. Probably the
most touching scene was when an
aged mother clung desperately to her
stalwart son, refusing to let him go.
The young man gently pulled her en-
circling arms from around his neck,
saying: Mother, you must let me go
for l must get on this train" AS the
old lady choked back her sobs she
muttered: Il only ask that you be as
good a boy there as you have been
for me" A few minutes later the
train pulled out, headed for Water
bury and thence to New York and
Long Island.
Taken to Waterbury by Auto.
| Three first district men were ac-
! cidently left behind. One of them,
I clam bering onto the rear platform Of
| the train, was not recognized by his
| fellow men and was Immediately
showed off again onto the station plat
form. This man, and the two others
! who were late in arriving, were hus-
! tied into Albert E. Corbins waiting
: automobile and hurried to Waterbury
where they arrived ahead Of the train
and wore taken aboard. In the first
| district there was only one man who
I failed to answer to his name. He is
Andrew Mazurek Of Bridgeport. Four
} failed to appear in the second district.
They are James T. Garlick Of Dwight
street, Edward Childs Of Upton, Mass,
| Dominic Potragile Of Hart street and
| Joseph Black of PIP Allen street.
| Changes in List.
Because a number of registrants
| had enlisted in the Naval Reserves,
! the Merchant Marine Or other
branches of the service, or because,
! for some good reason the board saw
| fit to give them a deferred class or an
/ extension of time, the list as original
| lv prepared in the first district was
| changed today and a number of new
| men were sent. Those originally
: scheduled to so but who did not for
