WHEN THE EIGHTEENTH LEFT
 NORWICH

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin.)
 During the battle of Gettysburg, fifty five years ago, in July, 1863, the Fourteenth Regiment which numbered many Norwich volunteers, merited the warmest praise for bravery.
 This was one of the most trying battles in which it had been engaged, yet one in which it distinguished itself by a number of effective charges, capturing five regimental flags and over forty prisoners, while sustaining loss in the aggregate of sixty six.
 In the Vireinian campaign, under Gen. U. 5. Grant, the Fourteenth also shared, participating in the terrible

 Both these young men were from Norwich and had served with fidelity and bravery the country for which they had cheerfully periled their lives.
 James B. Colt, who was specially mentioned for his ealIantry, was also wounded, and thus forced to resign. having been promoted from a first Iientenancy to be major, afterwards being brevetted maj general.
 The Fourteenth was present at the surrender of Lee, and was mustered out in May, 1865, with the conscious ness of having seen severe service and of fully meriting it's proud title-the brave Fourteenth"
 In the next three regiments which Governor William A. Buckingham had called for under President Lineoln's proclamation of July 1st, Norwich had no official representation, therefore no special local interest.

Norwich had previous to this time sent forth single companies, amid inspiring cheers and tender fare wells; but. as Rev M, McG.

BASEBALL.

The direct, practical value of the
war department baseball ruling is
not great. The number of profess
sional ball players who are OF draft
age and subject to the work or
fight" rule is not large enough to
make much difference in the war.
Indirectly, however, the matter is
highly important. There is big
principle involved, and the war de-
partment is right to insist on its
uniform application.
1t does not do to establish any
favored class in SO vital matter as
military service. We may argue
that baseball is necessary, in order
to provide the public with whole
some recreation, but we know all the
time that it is not really necessary.
We can get our recreation in other
ways. Indeed, the baseball-loving
public has been doing so to an un-
precedented extent this summer, as
the dimished patronage of the game
proves. The main thing, however,
is to avoid exceptions to the draft
law. because exceptions are always
likely to be misunderstood and to
cause discomfort and heart rt-burnings.
For every baseball player sent into
the army or into war factory a
hundred young men will go to their
cantonments more cheerfully, and a
thousand relatives will ecquiesce
more readily.
As for baseball, it will not really
suffer. Professional ball may be sus-
pended for a period of the war, but
there will be no suspension of am
ateur ball. in army or at home. The
national game will go on with un-
abated enthusiasm.

HOT FOOD FOR THE FRONT
LINE,

The fireless cooker is reported to
be an important part of front line
equipment. Because it can be made
in almost any shape it is particularly
adapted to narrow trenches and
small spaces. The food is put in
farther back somewhere behind the
lines where the great field kitchens
are at work. Then soldiers carry
the five-gallon, cork-jacketed pals
through communication trenches
along devious way to the boys at
the front. 1t requires little imagina-
ton to picture the welcome that hot
grub receives.
Battles are not stopped nowadays
for a big feast such as the Greek
heroes enjoyed before the walls of
Troy. Neither do we read in tales
of ancient battles of piping hot food
and stcaming coffee being served
to the fighting men as they are to
the modern soldier.
The army kitchen today is thor
oughly development of modern
needs. There are various kinds, the
newer ones rivalling each other in
a completeness of equipment that
puts to shame the kitchenn cabinet
that is the pride and JOY of the
housewife. Quickly moved from
place to place, readily put into op-

as an essential part of the outfit, the

future is going to add much to the
comfort of our soldiers.

WAR NEWS IN GERMANY.

While the victorious allies drive
was at its height. the other day. and
the Germans after enormous losses
were retreating on a wide front,
most of the German newspapers
barely mentioned the fact that there
was fighting going on between the
Aisne and the Marne.
With the German army in the
most critical situation since the first
battle of the Marine, the Weser lei
tung found nothing so important as
last years peace resolution in the
Reichstag. Verwaerts. the big So
cialist organ. gave the place of honor
on its front page to an article on
imperial finance. The Berlin Anzei-
gen "played up" the Bolshevist army.
The Vossiche Zeitung. instead of an
account of Ludendorff's retreat. had
a big article on "Malvv. the Second
Drevfus :" The Berlin Tageblatt was
chiefly concerned with What is
Happening in South Africa. The
Deutschc Tageszeitung expatiated
absent-mindedly on the U-boat cam
paign.
The stolid, lic-fed German people
don't know vet what happened.
Compare that with the procedure
of the American press. Here the
least happening in the war theater
is spread broadcast. Any man.
woman or child within reach of a
newsboy or postman may know the
sum and the details of every victory
or defeat within a few hours of its
occuranee, and nothing important is
hidden.

PATRIOTIC DYEING AND
CLEANING.

In their national convention, the
dyeres and cleaners emphasized the
value of their industry as help in
winning the war. They intend to
start big publicity campaign to
make the public understand the big
saving that can be effected by re-
novating old clothing instear OF
throwing it away or selling it to
the rag man.
The government supports them in
this work and indeed sets the ex-
ample itself. The army organization
is dry-cleaning wearing apparel at
the rate of about half million
pieces month, and repairing it at
the rate of million a month. New
clothing is not being distributed by
the quartermaster corps anywhere
near so lavishly as of yore. The
soldiers are provided with all the
garments they need, kept properly
clean. mended and buttoned, and are
obliged to wear them out. Civilians
surely should do no less.
Most persons, perhaps, even IN an
age of dyeing and dry-cleaning. do
not realize half the thrift possibili-
ties there are in these arts. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that ordinary
clothing can be made to last twice
its usual term of service, and to look
good to the very last, if it is cleaned
and pressed at suitable intervals.
For womcn's garments particularly
wonders can be worked with dye-a
resource whose value our mothers
knew we'll, but which the new gen.
Grafton has almost forgotten.

has done more than years of ad-
vice in brining about the present
situation in the South, where large
quantities OF food now are being
raised. The immdiate and i'm

decrease in the drain on the North
