 Just before the battle of Trafalgar
 when preparations for the English attack were complete, Nelson asked his captain Blackwood, whether he thought another signal to the fleet might not be needed. The captain replied that he thought everyone knew perfectly what was expected of him. After nusing a minute, Nell son said: Suppose we telegraph a message to the effect that Nelson ex- poets every man to do his duty" The officer approved the idea but asked if it might not better read: England expects" The great Admiral who cer- tainiy was not lacking in love for country, welcomed the change eagerly. At just 11.30, the signal which has achieved worldwide celebrity flew from the Victory's masthead and was received with a shout throughout the fleet, q

(Written Specially For The Bulletin,
 Few names in either early Norwich. or Connecticut history carry more weight than does that of Shipman; hence it is of interest that one of the successful silversmiths of Colonial times was Nathaniel Shipman, born in this town in 1764, died in, 1853.
 As referred to in former papers. he learned his trade of Thomas Har- land, and he, too, has his memory perpetuated by the fact that he ad- vertised; for in 1790 he informs the reading public that he has for sale watches, clocks and a general assort- Ement of goldsmith's work.
 He was a representative from Nor- wich to the General Assembly many times, besides serving as judge of the county court and probate court. The late Judge Nathaniel Shiphang of Hartford, was his grandson. A Windham silversmith was John Stanford, who was in business there late in the eighteenth century.

Man as a fiahtlnn eresture leada all

Man as fighting creatare leads all others. It is not strange, if the statis- ticians are right. that the world yearns for peace, since this. is 8 condition it has enjoyed very little of within his torical times, and doubtless less in all preceding ages. It is alleged that there have been fourteen years of war for every year of peace for period of s,S57 years, or that in the 3s 1-z cen- turtles prior to 1881 there have been but two and a quarter centuries of peace. Mans record as a warrior be- spatters ali the Good Sa1naritans with human gore. The world has reached an age of enlightenment and pretense where it ought to be ashamed of war and demand that the sovereign indi- vidual be given his place and power not as divine right but as the only manifestation of divine justice.

TEUTONS OFFER REWARD

(By United Press. }


Paris, Oct /. (By Mail. In fol-
lowing out their scheme to German
ize Belgium, the Germans are at
tempting to enlist the sympathies Of
Flemish element in the invaded ter
ritory and detach them from the
loyal Belgian population. 49,.
According to information reaching
the Belgian government at Havre,
the latest move in the design is an
attempt to form a Flemish "Reich-
swacht" or civil guard, ostensibly for
police duty in the Flemish region,
under command of the German COVER
nor With the assistance of hand
full of Flemish traitors, subsidized
by the. German government and
formed into the self-styled Council

to recruit more traitors to Belgium
by offering commissions in the pro-
posed "Reichswacht." E.
The German governor of Belgium
has offered places in the so-called
guard" to Flemish prisoners taken
by the Germans in the early days
of the war.
Although the Belgian government
is certain the invaders will be unable
to make any Roadway with the
scheme, it is warning the people in
Belgium of the intentions of the
Germans and exposing the German
plan.

DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Cardinals Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and No.
body Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat
ura1 color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A wellknown downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention
Of disease.

It sounds like quitting, the dough-

But the gas officer points out that
the man who quits and takes care Of
himself gets over his casing in three
or four hours, and can go back into
service again, whereas the chap who
sticks it out to the last falls ex-
hausted, and. needs lot OF hospital
treatment before he is good for work
again. This Is how the gas officer
figures the man who quits Is hero.
He says the boches would like to have
dough boys stay in the gas until
they get whitfield good, and move
around lot until It is all through
their bodies, for that puts dough
boy out OF commission.
OF course, the gas officer doesn't
want anyone to be a gutter when
he has an important, post to hold,
for he says if the doughboys use
their masks quickly and correctly,
the boches haven't any gas that will
bother seriously. ~ g..
