 Captain George c. Fremont of the 38th l.. $. infantry was a. guest of honor at the social held last evening at the home of James Cosgrove of Meriden avenue. Captain Fremont is a member of the regular U. $. army and is a native of Springfield, Mass, and while attending the social last evening he was called upon to relate some of his experiences in 'No Mans Land" He was one of the first American officers to see tho trenches i'll France. In the course of his speech he said:
 Upon my arrival in France I was put in charge of a company of 250 men, all real fighting doughboys, and having received good training in this country I was confident that my men could stand their own against an even number of Germans. After a three days hike I was notified that we were clO%e to the firing line and apparently it seemed that way as could hear the rumble of big guns and the trench mortars would occa- sionally send thrill through me.
 we finally arrived in the fighting region. About o'clock one evening shortly after our arrival in this sector we entered the trenches breathleSS, most of us, and that night I was given charge of a trench about q quarter of a mile long. We didn't see much that night and everything was pretty quiet. The next evening 1 was given orders by my colonel to pick men for a night raiding party. l did this and about clock in the morning we went out to see the sights and all l can say is that we saw them and after a tough fight with barbWire entanglements and German hand bombs 1 got back to our trench minus 36 men. When we started there were 52.
