District Troops in At the Finish.

Reports from the seat of war, both
oAhcial and unofficial, disclose the fact
that troops from the District Of Co.
lumbia were in the thick Of the fight
ing when the hostilities ceased. It will
be some time before details are avail
able, but from present indications they
will show that the men from the CAPT
tai bore an important part in the final
phase Of the conflict.
No compilation has been made Of
the Districts losses ut the front. From
time to time casualties have been noted
and without doubt as the final returns
are received other names will be added
to the Districts roll of honor.
Conspicuous in the fighting north
of Verdun were District units. Though
at the time somewhat cloaked by nee
cssary censorship, the facts of that
campaign are now being revealed. 1t
was this drive north through the Meuse
valley that finally broke the German
power of resistance in the west. For
days little progress was reported. It
seemed as though our forces had been
stopped, but now we know that they
we're carrying on slowly but steadily,
making definite Roadway against heavy
odds, with the enemy occupying most
favorable position for defense and
throwing into that sector his best re-
serves.
It is now recognized that the ad.
vance to Sedan was the stroke that
destroyed Germany's final plan Of de-
fensive campaign, and it is matter Of
national pride that the Americans
played so great a part in it, and that
the District was represented in that
American force. When our troops
come home they may be properly hail
ed as heroes.

Economy and Peace.

Economy is now the watchword in
Congress. Both parties are using it.
Let US all hope that something SUBJ
stantial may result.
When the country became a bellig-
erent, war supplies were voted in gen
erous and unprecedented sums. The
word million took on q small signi6-
cation. The word billion expressed the
spirit Of the times. Billions were pro-
vided, and expenditures began on that
basis. .".
Waste and extravaganza inhered in
the situation. We needed much Of
many things. We had but little Of
anything We needed. Unpreparedness
beeat haste. We tried to build Rome
in . day. Necessarily. We failed. Our
running ahout-examiaing this. test
ing that-eest 10 heavily.
Tho war being over. We are now
casting up accounts. "The demAed
totals" are sebs.ing, not to say stag
gering; and they aAmenish AZ that we
must cut all the corners. The people
did not complain Of the bills while the
war was in progress, but they will
complain II steps ara not Immediately
taken to Tetreaeh in the direction Of
peace basis.
As necessary as that policy 10, how
ever. it viii not be easy Of execution.
RetrenehmsAt must be made With care,
and with regard for changes the war
has wrought. We cannot return to old
figures. They are gone with the old
times. The government needs more
money than. formerly, and should Be
supplied with what it needs.

FINAL REPORT OF LIBERTY
 LOAN COMMITTEE
Every Town In Northern Windham
 County Entitled to Fly Flag

The final report of the Liberty Loan committee of the Northern Windham County District has been received.
 Northern Windham County is com prised of the towns of Putnam, East ford, Pomfret, Woodstock, Thompson and Ashford The quota for the whole district was $320,500.oO, and the amount of bonds sold was s479,- 450.00, leaving $l58,950 more than the quota, or nearly l50eo sold
 Putnam with a quota of $193, 300, sold $196,350 worth of bonds; Thompson with a quota of $54, TOO, sold Sf31,700 worth of bonds; Pom fret with a quota of $36,800. sold $84, ,450 worth of bonds; Woodstock with a quota of $22 .o0o sold S48,l50 worth of bonds; Ashford with a quota of S7,8o0, sold S8,5o0 worth of bonds and Eastford with quota of S5, roo, sold $10.300 worth of bonds.
 Every town in the Northern Wind- ham County District has the right to fly flag and every town in the Dis trict has their flag, and l would like to see every flag put where it can be seen as people drive through the town
 l take this opportunity to thank ey- eryone living in the Northern Wind ham County District, who took an in- terest and tried to have the district go lover the top"
 Another thing I want to remind you all of, and that Is to be ready for the next issue of bonds so that we can do as well as we did in this issue
 I think the ladies deserve a great deal of praise for the manner in which they worked to sell these bonds They surely did fine work
 Putnam deserves as much praise as any town in the district, as it always seemed to me that its quota was larg- CT than it ought to have been, as com pared to some of the towns in the district, but they found no fault but went to work with push and vim and went lover the top

FIRE UNDER STEPS AT BUG
 BEES STORE

A fire was discovered under the steps at the Elm street entrance of the Bugbee store about II o'clock Sunday evening. The young men who saw the small blaze ran up the street. They inquired for Ralph Thurston and after they located him he went to the place and attempted to put the fire out with an extingmsh- CT from his automobile Men also brought cans of water from the Prog. ress Confectionery store. To insure that the fire was properly eXtinguish- ed, Mr Thurston brought Chief Al phonse Bourcier from his home to fire headquarters where chemical tank was secured and more chemicals poured on MT Bugbee and son Ralph were also notified and came down town.
 It is thought that some person threw a lighted cigarette down and it rolled through a little hole under the steps and started the blaze. No ma terial damage was caused.

Follows Lead of National, State and
 Pomona Oranges

At its last regular meeting Putnam Grange passed a resolution similar to that passed by the National and State granges endorsing national woman suffrage to be secured by amendment of the Federal Constitution as repre- sented by the Susan B. Anthony amendment
 The resolution was adopted after the lecturer, Mrs. W. J. Bartlett. ad- dressed the members, emphasizing the importance of the grange taking a positive stand in regards to the Susan B. Anthony amendment and back up the stand taken by the national, state and pomona granges. which had al ready come out unanimously in favor of woman suffrage
 The lecturer urged that every bit of influence De exerted to bring pres sure to bear on the senate. the vote of which the women of America and Flu rope are awaiting. The record, the speaker said, will go down in history as test of Americas faith in univer- sal democracy. Ne ask the senate to prove it's trust in American woman- hood and its understanding of nation al needs and international policy by a unanimous vote in order that without further daley American women may enter into the full citizenship of the country they love and are serving,
 It was voted that copies of the res olution be sent Connecticut senators, also to President Wilson and to Sen ator Jones, chairman of the woman's $ suffrage committee. with the request that 1t be read on the floor of the sen ate.
 During the lecturers hour May basket social was held Earl Johnson acted as auetionser most acceptably It was at first decided to limit the price to 50 cents. but when an espe- cially attractive offering was put up by the auctioneer. bidding could not be stopped. and it was knocked down for S3 In all q total of $t555 was raised. There was also a fine musical program during the evening.
