pie fact which the President may as
well recognize first as last. At pres

stone wall of patriotism which has al

daily increasing in width, strength
and height. The committee reserva-

not be coerced or cajoled into violat-

will vote the same way.

SAD HOMECOMING
 FOR LOCAL SOLDIER
Loomis Loses Mother, Brother
 and Sister During Absence

After going through all of the battles of the 26th Division as a mem Der of the 102d Infantry without re- cefving so much as a scratch and re- turning aboard the AgamemnOn to Camp Devens, and thus nearer home, Private J ohm LOomis probably had the saddcst homecoming of any soldier in the vast army which served overseas, for during his absence his mother, brother and sister had died, and he found himself a hero in the city with out any relatives. He has no imme- diate relatives.
 Loomis was recognized as one Of the city's crack billiard players before he went to war. He was among those who registered in June, 1917, and at the time of registration asked for i'm mediate induction into the army if possible. This was done, because men were needed to fill in, and after being sent to Camp Devens he was sent to Yale Field in New Haven, where he joined the 2sth Division.
 News of the death of his brother and sister came to the soldier while he was still in France and he waited anxiously, although downcast at the news, for the day when the fighting would be over and he would sail for the United States and his mother, who, at that time, was all alone. The two members of the family died from in fuenza during the epidemic. He was, however, destined never again to meet his mother, for she died only a short time ago while he was moving toward the port of enn barkation. News of her death did not reach him while he was in France.
 In order to save his mother, whom he thought alive, a trip to camp. he hastened to the first telegraph office at Camp Devens and telegraphed to her that he had obtained 8 pass ana would be home yesterday. He then returned to his barracks, where ne found mail waiting for hlm-1nall which had been delayed and never reached the division in France. As he opened one letter q newspaper clip ping fell to the floor and it contained the news of the death of his mother. Having the pass, he returned to this city to at least see what used to be his city and his home.

Arch Street Boys Pack Was Shot
 From His Back While in
Action.

The. extent of the work of a soldier while in France is known only to himself and his immediate family The heroisms of many however, are told by their chunas who at the same tine say nothing about their own work Sergeant Harold c. Thompson of Co., F, 1O2d U. $. Infantry and a resident of Arch street, is ann ong the young men of the fighting 18th who landed in this city yesterday. He was the soldier whom his comrades wrote about telling of his pluck in leaving a hospital where he was a patient to rejoin his company in the front trenches.
 He had been wounded in battle near the opening of the offensive and was sent to the rear and to 8 hos pital where his wounds were being treated. He did not care to stay to be entirely healed and took an A. W Q. l.. from the hospital and the next heard from him was when he report ed to his commander in the front sector ready for more wounds or whatever came his woy. His action was upheld as an example of what the American fighter was made of and gained much fame for this city The soldier boy also was <1ucl1y'' to use army term. for after return ing he went into battle and while in Q, stopped over position in the trenches a shell came over from "Fritzy" and tore the pack from his back without injuries to himself. His case of having the pack torn from his back is supplemented by two other cases known in the city. One of them was witnessed by Private Sticktenoth when in the front trenches and a buddy" in leaning over, had his pack shot from his back. The other is a case of a Bristol man, now em- ployed in the Sessions Clock Co. fac tory in Forestville. who had a shell explode near him and rip his pack and kit from his body and also ex- plode his cartridge belt, while several of the cartridges in exploding en- tered his body.

 Those planning the event claim that FIillsboro is the birthplace of the national prohibition movement. They say that on December "A, 1873, a number of women joined forces and set out to rid the district of it's saloons.
 The story of how these pioneers. headed by ''Mother'' Thompson, sal lied forth day after day and, 1<neeling before the saloons, "prayed and sang them out of existence" is matter of history, the celebration managers say.
