Florence King is u potent influence.

Miss King to President Wilson. She

Kaiser and his crew have been beaten
to their knees. She WAS instru-

SUNDAY BREAKFAST.
Gen. Aiken Speaker at v. M. c. A. to
 Soldiers and Sailors.

On Sunday morning for the if teenth consecutive Sunday, the local Young Mems Christian association served a home cooked breakfast to the sailors and soldiers who spent the week end in Norwich, and as on pre- vious Sundays the fellows gave evi- dence of deep appreciation; the meHh consisting of sausage, baked beans, bread, butter, coffee and doughnuts, for which the small sum of fifteen cents was charged as usual. Members of the Y. M. c. A. auxiliary assisted by several young ladies did the ser wing. Beautiful flowers including sweet peas, dahlias and bachelors buttons were contributed.
 The brief address at the tables was held the closest attention of the boys from the moment he began to the close. He told of his thrilling experi- ence in the early days of the Civil war, when he was charged with the responsibility of delivering an i'm portant message to President Abra- ham Lincoln; he told of the perilouS journey, beset with dangers, of his arrival in Washington and of the de- livery of the message to President Lincoln. He said that he never had seer a face so sad as was Lineoln's or that occasion.
