Will a new religion come out of
the war or will the old religion be
given new expression. fatal to the

LOCAL RAILROAD IMPROVE
 MENTS HELD UP {

It is said that the proposed improve ments in the Putnam railroad yard, which were 1etailed in The Patriot some time ago, have been held up on account of inability to get the work done while war work is being rushed. 1t is understood that several hundred thousand dollars have been set aside to be spent in local improvements on the land the railroad company pur- chased some years ago north of tho coal chute.
 The large new locomotives now be- ing run over this division can not be be turned here, and one of the im- proyements is to be a new roundhouse and large electric turntable.
 There is a large amount of freight passing through Putnam, and there is a great amount of work for local rail- road men in all departments. A gang of men arrived Thursday to augment those already at work here.

JUDGE SHUMWAY RETIRES

Wednesday Judge Milton A. Shum- way of Danielson retired from the Su- preme court bench on account of hav- ing reached the age limit He will be succeeded by Judge Edwin E. Gager.
 In speaking of Judge Shumway's retirement the Hartford Courant says editorially, that Judge Shumway is well qualified to go on with his work but is denied the privilege because the law forbids him "The Courant" re- fers to the fact that MT Baldwin served as governor during two terms after he had been forced from the bench by the law, and that MT. Hol- comb, who ceased to be judge for the same reason, is now the candidate of his party for governor for the third time, having served two terms. We agree that the age limit should be repealed and the state be given the full value of judges service. As the Connecticut judges are reappoint- ed at frequent periods, the danger of their outlying their usefulness is too slight to take notice of. "The Cour- ant" is sure that life is so different from what it used to be that men can not be judged by the standards of ear n't any old men any more.

WAR COUNCIL OF NEW ENG
 LAND FARMERS

Leonard H. Healey, secretary of the state board of agriculture, Lewis e. Tolles and F. E Duffy, who have been appointed by State Food Ad- ministrator Robert Scoville as mem bers of the New England Farmers War Council for Connecticut, went to Boston Wednesday to attend meet ing of the council. The war council was formed some time ago with the idea of giving assistance to E. s. Brigham, the New Engand member of the National Farmers War Council. The Connecticut members have been appointed only recently as Admins tr&or Scoville was on his vacation when the New England Council was created
 The council is making every eff fort to get a square deal for the New England farmer, and it was with the idea that New England agricultur~- affairs were not being accorded proper attention in the national war council that Mr. Brigham called for advisors from the other New England states.

BELT, BAYONET AND OTHER WAR RELICS ATTRACT
 ATTENTION
Brought From No Mans Land By
 Sergeant Brunelle

For several days this week an ex- hibit of souvenirs from the battle fields of France and from No Mans Land attracted q great deal of atten- ton in the store window of Albert Jarvis. They were brought here by Sergeant George Brunelle. member of a Canadian regiment, now dis charged on account of wounds, who has been visiting friends here.
 A bayonet which Sergeant Brunelle wrested from a Hun and then ran him through with, was one of the relies Another was belt that has proved a curiosity wherever shown. It is an ordinary belt, about three inches in width, made of cloth, and is complete iy covered with regimental insignia which Sergeant Brunele collected in No Mans Land on many sectors of the western front. Nearly all of the souvenirs on the belt were picked up at night while he was acting as a member of burial parties.
 The collar devices on the belt in clude those of many famous British regiments, representative of widely separated dominions of the empire. Numbered among them are the devic- es of the Northumberland Fusiliers, Princess Charlotte of Wales, Scots Guards, Royal Montreal, Hindoustani, the Manchesters, Winnipegs, Anzacs, Royal Engineers, Dublin Fusiliers, Royal Field Artillery, Indian Colon ial ,and the familiar Beaver collar device of the Canadians. Mingled, too, in this distinguished company, are buttons from the uniforms of Prussian guards, Saxon and Bavarian regiments, members of the flower of the kaiser's armies that were moved down by the gallant Canadians with whom Brunelle fought.
 Brunelle has been offered $l50 for the belt, but says it isn't for sale. The devices that make it up came, for the most part, from the uniforms of men who fell in action.

 After coming out of the ether Cor poral Mansfield immediately thought of his mother. He knew her address in Boston and requested that she be communicated with He was emphatic that she should not be told how seri- ously he had been injured, so Mrs. Mansfield was told that her son had met with an accident and that his an- kle was badly sprained She said she would % to camp later, but was told that she had better take the o'clock train. She did some shopping and

She was urged to take short rest before paying a visit to her son. and did so When the party again reached the hospital Mrs. Mans field learned that her son had lost part of his left leg.
 Corporal Mansfield showed excel lent spirit He took his injury as part of the fortunes of army y.life and he and his relatives, while saddened at the thought that he will be crippled for life, are glad the affair did not ter minate fatally. as it was at first thought might happen,
 MT. Mansfield said Thursday morn- ling that his son had the best attention and care, and that he will remain at | the hospital under treatment until such time as it was thought best to bring him home, '
 Corporal Mansfield was born in Putnam. He graduated from the Put nam high school. While he has spent some years in other places, he has al- ways looked upon this city as home.

Corporal Nelson Mansfield, son of Mir. and Mrs. A l. Mansfield, this city, is lying in base hospital at Camp Devens. Aver, with his left leg amputated between the knee and an- kle as the result of shot from a sen try's rifle last Sunday night about 1 o'clock Corporal Mansfield was at first reported in critical condition, but now his recovery seems assured.
 Who. if anyone. was to blame for the shooting will not be fully deter mined until the investigation now un- der way has been concluded. Ac- cording to the story as learned so far, Corporal Mansfield and Sergeant Blanchard were riding a motorcycle with side ear attachment The ser eeant was driving and Corporal Mans field was in the side car. When near the l2nd Infantry eanteen they mo- ticed a sentry in front Of them with his rifle raised and pointed at them. Sergeant Blanchard put on the brake to bring the car to stop and just at this moment the sentry fired The ball passed through the side car and struck Corporal Mansfield in the an- kle. The large caliber bullet smashed the ankle and pieces of bone were af- terward found in the car The bullet passed completely through the arkle and agani through the side car Ac- cording to the men in the machine they did not hear the sentry call to them to halt The sentry says he gave the command. If this is true then in all probability the noise of the motor cycle drowned his voice. An officer al the camp told Corporal Mansfield's fla ther that Corporal Mansfield at least was not to blame.
 The two soldiers were returning from the railroad station at Aver, where Sergeant Blanchard had been to take his wife to the train. The motorcycle went bad and he sent for Corporal Mansfield to come and help him get it running, The delay made i them late in getting back to camp,
 After Corporal Mansfield was re- moved to the hospital telegram was sent to Corporal Mansfeld's father As no telegraph office is open in Put nam Sunday nights the despatch was not delivered until about 9 o'clock Monday morning. It was sent to the Mansfield store. Mir Mansfield was out on the order team, but he was soon overtaken and notified of the ac-
