Nicholas BernadinO Of Elm St.,
Aged II Years, Dies Of Wounds
ONE OF FIRST OVERSEAS
Gen. Pcrshing's List Today Contains
SS Names, II Killed Of Dying From
Wounds Or Discase-N1ajority of
Casualties From Greater Boston,

In the attack al Seicheprey where the
Hun expected to get through is part
of the plan Of their great offensive,
they encountered New Britain boys
and already the folks at home have
learned some Of the sacrifices made
there. Today another gold star is
added to the roll of New Britain
sons who have made the supreme
sacrifice there. The name Of Nicho-
las Bernadino goes onto the list to-
day.
Joseph Bernardino, of PA Elm
street, father of Private Nicholas
Bernadino, received q telegram last
evening from Adjutant General Nc
Cain at Washington announcing the
death Of the soldier as a result of
she'll wounds received in action on
April 20. No other details are given.
che father is left to speculate whether
the son died soon after the raid on
Seicheprey or if he fingered for
some time in a hospital. Due to the
fact that the telegram announcing
the death has been so long delayed
since the coming Of other grief bear
ing MESA ges the assum ption is that
he received wounds that caused his
death in the battle and fingered for
q few days in the hospital. During
the early part of last week telegrams
were received announcing casualties
resulting in this attack.
Private Nicholas Bernadino would
be 1 8 years old if he lived until next
December. Although only out Of
The Smaley school a few years he
heard the call to the colors and last
summer when the troops were en-
camped at Camp Pratt in New Haven
he went down and enlisted in what
was then Company f, First Regiment
Connecticut Infantry. He tried to
get into the two New Britain COM
panies but the ranks were filled. He
went over with the first overseas
expeditionary force.
Besides his father Private Bernar-
dino leaves two brothers, John and
James, and two sisters, Theresa and
Anna. The boys father is employed
at Landers, Frary & Clark. At the
time of enlistment Nicholas was not
employed.
Todzia Wounded.
Joseph Todzia, who enlisted in Com
pany E, First Connecticut Infantry,
was slightly wounded in a recent
battle in France, according to a casu-
atty notification from Adjutant Gen
eral M. Gains office, yesterday. Tod
zia lived at 76 Smith street and was a
neighbor of Private PauIson who was
killed in the same engagement with
the enemy.

German aviators now are resorting to

The Germans have taken to round

the German airmen is to play around,

London, May 6.-Wounded British
airmen back from France report that
the squadron operating in an i1npor-
tant sector on the Amiens front prob
ably has established a record by
bringing down 106 enemy planes in six
weeks.
The only member of the squadron
known to have been wounded up 20
the time this man returned here said
it was hard work getting the German
airmenA to fight. Virtually the only
times they would come out, he said,
was when the glare of the sun would
be in our faces and in the evening.
Then they would slip away If they
had half a chance. The pilots like a
man with gun behind him. Nearly
all the machines brought down were
two seaters.

Nine tons of bombs were dropped

Letter From France

Monday the editor of the News received a postcard from Sergeant R. P. Schuster. who is on active service with the American expeditionary forces somewhere in France. The card was dated July 30, 1918 and read as follows:
 Dear MT. Braxton: No doubt you realize how my time must be taken up here and 1 hardly find time to keep the folks at home posted. My heart is often in Holbrook though and as 1 can not write to each one of my friends there just give them my greetings and say Hello" for me. Never felt better in my life. Just received a letter from Bob Meyenberg, who is we'll too. All the other boys who came with me are the same.

W. A. Lee Writes of Life on
 BOarda Submarine Destroyer

last Friday for Flagstaff, where she is now student in the nor nal school. Miss Mildred Lee received a letter from her bro- ther, w. A. Lee, of the U. s. s. Dixie telling of his life aboard the destroyer. Last Sundays issue of the Flagstaff Leader published the following extract from the letter:
 'I am expecting to go back to the destroyers tomorrow (July 24) or this afternoon, in which case 1 will be at sea again. 1 have been on the Dixie since June 30, and do not like it. for there is not enough sea-going to suit me. have too much of a rowing nature to be content to remain in port when big things are happening on the seas. I have been trying for the last three or four weeks to get back to the destroyers. and yesterday one of the boys from the Beale. who could not stand the sea sickness, offered to trade with me. He agreed to my terms and we carried the request to higher officials. so at present 1 am standing by for a transfer.
 Life on a destroyer appeals to me greatly. There is always something doing. It is an ad- venturous and exciting way to live always on the go through the mine and submarine-infested lanes of the ocean. You may we'll believe that the periscope of a German submarine causes great excitement when it is sighted near a convoy of thirty five or forty big ships loaded with soldiers, supplies and American Red Cross girls. You can readily realize, too, the pre- cious cargo these boats carry and the constant watch and care taken by the destroyer fotilla to guard and protect them from the dreaded German subs. That is one reason 1 like to be on the American destroyers When 1 come home 1 want to feel with satisfaction that 1 have done my part in the fight to halt the Hun.
 ''The boys on the destroyers are the ones who are winning this war! Of course the soldiers are putting up a wonderful fight; but were it not for the little. long, low, flat destroyers, a transport would never reach a foreign port submarines would sink them faster than they could load them from the states. Then, again, our soldiers acEbss would not be of any use to us or the allies, either, if we could not get food and material there for them. Who is it that carries those things through the U-boat zone? The boys on the destroy CTS! They face the perils of the seas in all kinds of weather. carrying on the good work un- der seemingly unbearable diff culties.
 "I have seen some terribly heavy storms, when the little boats would rock. rool and pitch. with the seas washing the decks and pouring into the compart ments. It would seem at times as if our little craft would be swamped in spite of fate.
 Life on a destroyer is 3 hard and reckless one. but it is filled with adventure and danger that the trenches never know"

Sixth Annual Northern
 Arizona Fair
By G. M. SparkesI

The sixth annual Northern
 Arizona Fair will be held in
 Prescott Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 17th,
 18th and 18th. This fair
 will be the biggest and best ever held by the Northern counties. Every effort will
 be made by the manage ment of the Association to make this event conform strictly to the lines desired by the Government, for such entertainments.
 All premiums in every de- partment will be paid in thrift and war savings stamps. This item alone will meet with hearty appro- val of every exhibitor, as it will go along way towards boosting the Arizona quota for the sale of thrift stamps.
 In the Art department, a special gallery will be set apart where the photographs and pictures of all men in service from Northern Ari- zona will be displayed. This will form one of the most interesting collections of photographs ever displayed in the State of Arizona.
 The program will be un- der the supervision of the famous Fox film star, Tom Mix, and Lester Ruffner. The Tom Mix company has in it's employ sixty actors, famed in the art of reel work. The program will be varied, including many novel stunts.
 Admission to the grounds will be free to all men in U.I l s. uniform or the uniform of any of our Allies. By the opening of the Fair, there will be hundreds of soldiers stationed at Whipple Bar racks, which will tend to in- the interest in the fair.
 Railroad rates are now be- ing arranged. One of the best brass bands in the State of Arizona has been engaged to play the concerts during the fair.
