 Dear Sir and Brother:-Just re- ceived yours of Sept. 22nd, and will try to drop you few lines if Fritz doesn't stop me. Well. it is near seven months now since We have left and Of course we have had a great many experiences in that length of time. Before coming to the front we spent tEree months of intensive training in a city named Clermont- -Ferrand. Ii Is situated in the southern part of France between two beautiful noun tains, one of them is called Puy-De- Dome and stands up well above the clouds, and is covered with snow practically all the year round. had the pleasure of going to the top of it enc hot day last summer and of course left my coat at the foot, but much to my surprise when reached the top. near froze to death and you can tell the. world I didn't stay long, just leng enough to see what the upper side of cloud looked like and then down again
 l visited many other places of in terest also while there bur as time is scarce l will not attempt to tell you all now After leaving there we went to that famous battle of the Marne, near Chateau -Thieny, and talk about destruction, never saw anything like it in my life. You can tell the world cur artillery drove them out of that region in a hurry and of course as they left they resorted to their old trick. of burning beautiful mansions and chopping the beautiful altars of the churches to splinters Not a thing was lefc after them of anv value, excepting their ammunition and from the looks Of what they left and what they carried with them they sure expected to stay for some tune.
 We have lost quite a few from the regiment so far. but we are getting them two to our one. John Ludwig is not with us now. He broke his arms a short time ago and ! think he is in Bose Hospital No. 8. but I am not sure.
 I suppose you all know of Bob Flet- chers death by now, It happened one night about il o'clock on q road that the Huns were shelling Bob got out Of his truck to get into q dugout for shelter and had not got quite there when he was hit It must have been a shell of large calibre as several oth- CTS nearby were severely hurt but all will live to get revenge. Bob was surely well liked by all the boys as was shown a few days before we left that front. They covered his er~--t with beautiful flowers gathered

DR. CODY WILL GATHER
 STATISTICS ON lNELuENzA

Health officials claim that it is the history of epidemics that they often recur a year later, and these officials are looking forward to and planning for the comba tting of an epidemic of the so-cailed Spanish influenza year hence in an even more aggravated form. This will be painful news to an- tlclpate, but the health authorities will take proper precautions in the event of recurrence of this dread malady.
 As a preliminary to this and for the purpose of H,ore closely studying the disease the United States public health service, has ordered all it's local bureaus to immediately start an in- Vestigation regarding the ravages of the past epidemic.
 Dr. H. .. ~1dy, P. A. surgeon. in charge of the New London district. including all of New London county, has racived instructions from Wash inston, D. C.. to conduct an investi- gation this week.
 The investigation will first be made in New London and may extend to this city. It will consist of a house-to- house canvass and will continue for period of about two weeks. For this work Dr. Cody is anxious to secure a number of intelligent, active women, who will be paid good wages for this work. Where the work has been A)ne in some cities the pay has been as much as $3 per day.
 The things which the public health department wishes to find out are:
 The proportion of total population affected.
 The proportion of total population of various ages affected
 Dates of the onset of cases
 Relation, if any. to such factors as the number in family; the number of rooms occuied and the economic sta- tus.
 The classification Of cases with ref- erence to type and severity.
 Dr. Cody is instructed to see that a house-to house canvass is taken to provide a complete census of a suffi- cient number of population groups, so that in the aggregate these win amount to a fair sample Of the tocal population of the city. This means that not less than 1000 families (about B. 900 individuals) should be included in the census.
 pr. Cody believes that il will not be necessary to cover the entire city. but will map off about 10 districts which will be a representative popu- iatlon group and will thoroughly can vass thc/4 districts. Cards will be provided and these, cards will con- tain spaces for the names of mem bers of families, the ages, whether afflicted or not date of onset, result of disease, duration and other data.

 FIRE TO ALCOHOL

 The blazing alcohol was thrown into the street and an alarm was rung in from box IA on Thames square, but all the f1remen were called upon to do was to render first aid to MT. Bedard and the other man by bandaging his burns with a prepartion that the fire men carry. Captain Henry R. Taft of the West Side station performed this service.
 The alcohol was some that MT. Be- dard was about to put into the radi- ator of his automobile to prevent it from freezing.
