The Bohemian realized quite a large sum from their bazaar and from the generous donations of people about town. Outside of all expenses they have a sum of over $7OO for the relief of the suffering Bohemians Many willing hands have worked with unselfsh kindness for those far away.
 A. 0. Shelden, county club leader,
 was in town a few days ago and ex- pressed himself as much pleased with the large enrollmeut in the Junior Food Army and the deep interest of our teachers and children. Six of our schools, East Wilmington, Daleville, Wilmington Hill, Potter district, Village Hill and South Wilmington primary have an enrollment of 100 per cent. in their gardening, canning, pig clubs, etc., and the whole town has 92 per cent. which will be still higher when a few more cards are in. Our school superintendent, MT. Garrison, and two resident teachers, Miss Nichols and M iss Green. are on the committee of which Miss Sara Dunning, supervisor of music, is chairman. The following gentlemen have been invited to serve in their districts: MT. Wraight and MT, Bligh on Wilmington Hill; Mr. Pratt, Dale vile; MT. Amidon, East Wilmington; i; MT. Dimock, Moose Meadow; MT. Balazs, Potter district; Charles Lchse, Roaring Brook; George schofield, Village Hill; Wm. Parizek, Glass Factory, and MT. Worden, South Wilmington. Surely the Wilmington boys and girls will show that they can be depended upon to both produce and conserve.
 The clouds which threatened rain in the morning of Memorial day dis persed about noon and the sun came ou. The people and children began to gather on the common about ? O clock where seats were prov ided, and continued to arrive until over 300 were present. Rev. Charles Parker gave a short address, as also did MT. Reed, who was marshall of the day. A poem was read which was composed especially for the occasion by Mrs
 Annie Preston, and which was written in her usual uplifting style and much appreciated. There was speaking by the children and singing of the American, English, French and Italian national songs. American and Bo. hemian flags, our Connecticut banner, Liberty Bond and Red Cross banners were displayed. The procession formed in line in the following order and marched to the cemetery to decorate the soldiers graves. Fife and drum corps, Boy Scouts, Junior Food Army GOO children) ), Bohemian Girls club, Camp Fire Girl, Bohemian club (men and women with badges) and many others followed by IT auto. mobiles. After returning all were served with ice cream which was free, and as there were 40 gallons, none could complain of a scant allowance: AZ orchestra of six pieces furnished music in the, town hall and pleasant social time was enjoyed with dancing by many of the young people. The large attendance and the patriotic spirit showed not only respect and memory for the dead, but sorrow for the desolate homes and remem mberanc@ with heartfelt prayers for our boys "somew here in France '' s'ts

 Go. B., 26th Division, 1OItt Machine Gun Battalion, May 9, 1918. Dear Jack:
 It was two weeks last Sunday since I saw our old Go K. boys and they are all just great and a more jolly lot would be hard to find. Our particular crowd sends best regards to all the boys back home These are rather anxious times over here because there are so many fellows in different out fits that know each other, and of course when one bunch are relieved in the trenches by some other, each wants to know how the other fared, We all know that the boys already sure have shown their ability to fight, and personally I am confident that we are going to win. that they will do their full duty, and those that take the count will certainly make the 6: .emy pay the price of three or four to one. have had few occasions to see several outfits, both in and out of the trenches and all are we'll and happy. The past winter has been hard one and now we are enjoy ing the spring weather which now pre-. vails, though of course it rains now and then, but we are all so happy we hardly know what gloomy day is I certainly am pleased at the show. ing Willington has n ade in all branches of war service, and see no reason why the people of the town can't feel the same and keep it an ex. ample for other towns to follow. Isee only one end to this, for what the | Huns are doing in the eaat of Russia | is making trouble for herself. It will | make serious trouble for her in- formally. She will of course, and is making trouble on the western front. !

HARDEN AGAIN
 SCORES KAISER
 IN NEWSPAPER

LONDON, Feb. II. Maximiien Hmden devotes 13 closely printe l pages in the latest issue of Die Zu- kunft to reproducing "the real text" of the recent speeches oC President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George. He says thoughtful and consclentious men should read the speeches quietly and without prejudice, and criticizes in astonishingly outspoken fashion Gcrmany's attitude toward Austria in the conduct of the Russian negotia- tionS.
 Herr Harden virtually accuses Ger many of forcing Austria-Hungary in- to the war and says peace might have been obtained at Brest-LitOvsk if the Germans had not posed as conquer OTIS and had not demanded territory.
 Referring to President Wilson's speech, Herr Harden says:
 Belief is still firm that peace is possible and that the cleavage be- tween the two fighting groups nc longer is so wide that it can be filled only by new heaps of corpses. It will however, widen into an unbridgeable gulf if the people again refuse to ac- knowledge a changed world"
 He pleads for the sanctity of Urea, ties, a reduction of armaments, the right of self-determnation of nations and favors a reconsideration of the question of Alsace-Lorraine.
