DRAG WILLIMANTic RIVER
 FOR TEACHERS BODY
Special to The Bulletin.)


 Willimantic, Sept. 3.--Miss Jane E. the Willimantic Normal School for about twenty years is missing and it is believed that she has committed sui eide by drowning in the Willimantie river near the Ridges on the northern city limit. Tuesday. The body has not been recovered. Physical and mental depression is given as the cause. She was last seen alive in the forenoon at her boarding place.
 Two young women, who were canoe ing found her hat and coat on the bank of the river, but when they re- turned at six o'clock and saw the coat still there, they became alarmed and carried it to the home of MT. and Mrs P. s. Hills where they found it be- Ionged to Miss Denehey. In the pock ct of the coat was found note ad- dressed to Miss Mary Quinn, fellow teacher. The contents would not be diyulged by the people now holding it except that it was a note of depres- sion. and that she said she intended to take her life. The Willimantic po- lice arrived ons the scene at seven o. clock and worked until nine with grappling hooks, but were unable to locate the body. and aIsp lost all their hooks.
 Miss Denehey had been suffering with a severe headache for several days and probably dreaded the open ing of Normal school this (Wednes- day) morning. She had just returned from ] months stay at Pleasure Beach with several other teachers and during the stay seemed very happy. Her home l life was congenial, as she lived with her mother at the home of Elmer Nor l ton at A Turner street. She is very | well known throughout the state. be- cause of the large number of stu ] dents she has taught

Women Workers in England.

Women workers in every kind of occupation in England was one of the things that impressed itself upon Pri- vate William J. Murray. Battery F, 6Sth Artillery, c. A. C., who has sent the following letter to his mother, Mrs. William H. Murray of 249 Yantic street and with it one of the letters of King George to the American sol diers landing in England:
 August 3, 1918.
 Dear Mother: Just a few lines to let you know that I am well and nev- CT was happier in my life before, and hope you are the same.
 We had q nice trip over and land ed in England. We are at a rest camp now. It is some experience, believe me The people here are nothing like the people ir the old U, S. It is raining here most all the time and the streets are all like Yantic street is. They are way behind the times here. I wish could tell you of our trip but I can't 1 could fill six page letter. but we can't say anything. We are in tents now and it is better than Sleeping in hammocks. We slept in kammocks on board ship. Did you get that safe arriya. card alright? I sent one to Eva and Jim, too.
 The people out here seem to think the war will be over inside of three months. There are some colored mer here that are in the American army they have been at the front and they say that the Germans thrors up theil hands as soon as they see the Ameri- cans coming after them
 Everywhere you look here you see ( woman working at a mans job. They have women conductors, barbers street cleaners, truck drivers, and ever to women bar tenders, some class. wasn't see sick at all coming over: am some sailor ain't I? And believe me we had some rough weather, too.
 Say, you want to boost the Red Cros' all you can. They are doing grea work. We were all starved when W, went to get on the boat and it wa about (censored) in the morning ant the Red Cross came and gave us ho coffee and buns and it tasted som good, believe me.
 The people here seem to think tn American soldiers are made of none, and all the way to the camp the kid were following us and asking us fo pennies.
 We'll, mother, I will close as I cam tell you anything more, but will writ | again soon. Don't answer until vol hear from me again. From yofr low ing.

Where FIanders Got Itg Name,

A Norwich resident writes The Bull letin: -s--
 A. recent visit to childhood's. home has awakened many half forgotten memories and the query has arisen. why were so many lovely spots in our own country named for places across the sea? Did our forebears so rev erfnce the mother country that they loved to pass those names along to future generations, or were they rich in ancient history? Let us think the latter.
 In nearby town of East Lyme there is Flanders, and an ancient has telry 'Ye Golden Spur" both so sug- gestive of sunny France where aa ar my of the flower of our American cause of right that it may prevail against might. Is it not worth while to be, reminded of the battles in his tory fought on just those same spots by those who live in history. and seem tc walk the earth again?
 July H.. 1902, an army Of French Knights numbering over 40,000 fought a small army of Flemish weavers from Ghent and Bruges at Coutrai, a town in the province of West Elan ders, Belgium. In French were under the command of the Count of Artois, while the weavers had two generals, John of Namur. and Luke Wm. of sJuliers. The French being defeated there were collected TOO gclden-spurs from the heels of the French knights and hung in the church of the Notre Dame in Courtrae. Not only were they of great value but significant of the valor of knight. as to gain the rank of knighthood the man so hon. ored was presented with a pair of golden spurs and received a blessing from St. George. the patron saint o1 Flanders.
 Longfellow in his poem Of the battle says: "In the market place of Bruges the belfry old and brown stands, thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded. still il watches OCT the town. beheld the Flemish weavers with Namur and Julius bold, marching homeward iron the bloody battle of the spurs of gold
 May those 616 years that have in tervened since those early battles
 fought to establish the claims of the laborer), now be forever settled a:
 we shall gain a lasting peace by proclaiming the brotherhood of man. M F. H

REGISTER UNLESS YOU
 HAVE PASSED 46

Major John Buckley. state director of the draft. has been asked a num- Der of questions in relation to the age questions in relation to the age limit ation for the draft registration next month. From the question, it is evil dent to the major that there is an inn pression that persons who have reached the age of A years are ex- empt from the draft The major said today that the impression was erro- neous and that the maximum age of 45 years extended to the forty sixth birthday. That is to say a person is to be considered within the draft age after he has reached the age of 45 and until he is 46.
 The ruling of the department, ap- plicable to the coming draft is pre- cIsely the same as that which govern ed the draft of persons from twenty one to- thirty and under which persons came within the registration age until they had reached their thirty first year
