ways had a smile for his nurse who meant as much as life to him. The nurses had to contend with things that no one ever will know of. So1- diers who never knew a bath in months would be brought in cut to pieces, their bodies coated in oozing mud, their hair plastered with thick mud, and a months beard on their faces, cooties in their clothes and be- sides all this blood streaming from every wound, a sight to make the Sturdiest woman faint, but never, a murmur from the Red Cross nurse who went to her task with never a thought of self.
 Bridge Without Lights.
 The kensington railroad bridge is without a light on the north side, the light having been out now for over two weeks. Passage is dangerous under this bridge for those having to cross the road, as one cannot be seen distinctly until almost upon them them. The town pays the electric light company for this lighting serv- ice at the bridge and the residents are indignant at the tardy action of the company in not giving the matter the required attention. Several mar row escapes from accidents have been the experience of a few. It would be well to give this matter immediate attention.

 Army Tractor Passes
 A huge caterpillar tractor drawing an immense mounted cannon passed through Berlin stret this morning about 10 o'clock going towards Hart ford. The tractor was manned by three soldiers. Such a noise has never been heard on the street as that of the caterpillar tread. It sounded much like a string of freight cars only about twice the volume of noise The treads bit into the hard concrete, making very noticeable dents in the pavement. The cannon was built along the lines of a howtizer being 5 bore, probably taking close to ten inch shell.
