LETTERS FROM MAN WHO
 HAS BEEN REPORTED DEAD

A Deep River correspondent writes:
 Mir. and Mrs. P. J. O'Leary of Kirt land street, who received a telegram from Washington about three weeks ago telling of the death of their son, Private Timothy S. O'Leary, in France Oct. 9th, were happy Monday when three letters from him bearing dates of Oct 18th, 20th and 24th came to them. As the first notice from the government the family did not believe the news authentic because of. the in- correctness of the despatch. It stated that Private TimothR OLeary was dead, and it has been known here for several months that he was promoted to a higher rank in the army Also at that time. letters were received by the family in town and friends in New London that led them to believe some mistake had been made. Shortly after the first despatch a cablegram was sent abroad. but up to late Monday no answer had been received. The letters Monday prove beyond doubt that his death, if true, did not occur Oct 9th, although the name of Private Timothy s. 0'Leary of Deep River has been of ficially printed in the government list of casualties. The many friends of the young man were more than pleased Monday when they heard the latest news. He enlisted from New London in the engineering division, and at the time of his entry into the service was employed by the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company at the New London station.

PREPARING CAMPAIGN TO
 RECRUIT BOY FARMERS

Connecticut is prepared for re- eruiting campaign for the United States boys working reserve to begin Jan. 20, according to an announcement by W. D. Hood, federal director for Connecticut of the reserve Similar drives for recruits will be instituted at the same period throughout the coun- try. MT. Hood said that the purpose of the campaign in Connecticut, as else where, was ot provide additional farm labor against the food shortage now faced by the world. Plans will be an- nounced later.
 Although peace seems certain, the world today faces the most alarming food shortage in history said MT, Hood Tn America this shortage is due almost entirely to lack of farm labor. Accrding to present estimates, starvation will overtake many parts of Europe unless the United States can produce a maximum amount of food stuffs in 1919. The full development of the United States boys working re- serve as a source of farm labor is therefore more important to the na- ton than ever before, as it is one o1 the chief mediums of supply for a sorely needed farm labor"
 MT. Hood added that in Connecticut
 plans were under way by which he hoped. and expected to have 1000 boys available for labor next summer

WORK AHEAD YET FOR WAR BUREAUS

der present conditions.
 In dealing with the individual com mittees we lave divided them into four groups:
 Group l.
 Committees whose activities it is the opinion of our committee should under existing conditions, be discon- tinued:
 coordination of societies.
 Education
 Finance.
 Registration and Training.
 Sanitation and Medicine
 War Exhibits.
 Group II. O.
 Committees recommended to- con- tinue, but without further eXpense:'
 Legal Committee
 Commercial Relations.
 Department of State Protection.
 Libert Chorus.
 Military and Naval.
 Group III.
 Committees of war activities whose work it is necessary to temporarily continue. Under. this heading, as your committee advises the continuance of the activities, we give briefly in con- nection with each committee our req sons for so doing:
 Executive Department: This depart ment is, of course, the direct means by which s4tha federal agency gets in touch with the state orgs nzation.
 Woman's Division: As ln aid to the Executive Department of the council in its various activities, and as an aid tivities necessary to continue, such as in carrying out the work of other ac- Americanization, Child Welfare, and Health and Recreation.
 United States Employment Service: This is largely federal activity though very properly closed allied and merged with state control and re- Quiring state funds Until federal pol. icy is decided, it will be impossible tC know what will be the future of thi: department. Meanwhile. we recommend continuance cf state aid. Group iV. Committees whose activities should be continued giving special attention to the peEfeating of programme which will justify the legislature il making them permanent activities nder this heading comes the work o committees whose activixiS.s while no strictly war work are much too val l uable to lose; and we recommend tn continuance of these activities unti i such. time as, in a proper and orderl, l manner, they can be brought to tn | attention of the legislature: Americanization: The future safet l ofour institutions rests largely upol l the education of our people, to the en 1 that the people of all races and na ! tionalities within the state shall b l'united tremendously. Child Welfare: Starting in the fac l of much. prejudice, this work ha gs ined the respect and confidence c 1 all classes.
 Committee on. Historical Records Tho work of this committee very prop er1y should be included in the Stat Library plans, but until appropria ton is made it is necessary for thi council to provide the funds so ths the work of .co1lrnittee and it's wor will be of great importance to th state in the future.
 T In advising the continuance Of th | committees enumerated in Group Y we suggest that each committee pre- pare a record of their work accon plisied and their plans for the fl ture,i with 1efinite and explicit reg T sons for a continuance, that such rt ports may be available for the prop, committee of the legislature having
 charge the future of all this work.

beset an unprotected woman in try
ing to make e. career on the Great

geSt acting roles she has ever had.
Laura is an actress whose disre-
putable husband has died and left
her without q protector. She tries
to make her own way, but fails un-
til Brockton, wealthy and influen-
tial man of the world, uses his po-
sition in her behalf. Brockton ex-
poets the customary reward for such
service. Laura falls in love with a
comparatively poor man, and breaks
with Brockton. She promises to
wait until her lover can marry her,
but finding herself again alone in
New York, Is unable to get along
without Brockton's help. The low
or strikes gold come east, and dis
covers the situation, leading to a
tremendous dramatic finale.

her best, In appearance as well as
in the power of her acting. She is
supported by distinguished cast,
including Joseph Kilgour, Rockcliffe
Fellows, Louise Bates. Cleo Des-
mond, George Stevens, Frank King
