1n the absence of Congressman Augustine NJ. Lonergan. United States Attorney John F. Crosby delivered the address of welcome at St. Mary's church yesterday afternoon during the 'Welcome Home" exercises held under the auspices of that church for the $50 boys who went into the country's service. Governor Marcus Fl. Holcomb gave a short talk, and Mayor George A. Quigley was also on the program for an address.
 The pastor, Rev. John T. Winters, acted as chairman of the meeting, and explained it's purposes to the large gathering of ex-serVice men and their families. many of whom were in uniform, and occupied a place in the center aisle set apart for them. The sanctuary was decorated with three em mblems, an American flag, the church service flag with $50 stars, and the flag for Our Fallen Heroes, bearing sixteen stars. denoting that many deaths in the service.
 Within the sanctuary were seated Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, United States Attorney John F. Crosby, Mayor George A. Quigley, Rev. John T. Winters, Rev. John J. Fitzgerald, Judge B. F. Gaffney. pr. T. Eben Reeks, Dr. D. W. O'Connell and the following representatives of the local draft boards: A. F. Corbn, J. J. Watson, Dr. Henry T. Bray, John AL len and Stephen Robb.
 The church choir under the dlrec- tion of Organist F. F. Harmon ren- dered musical program and solos were given by Mrs. Mary T. Crean and John KiIduff. Toward the close of the exercises, an impressive fea- ture was the sounding of taps with the bug1er in a distant part of the church making the effect more stril1- ing.
 Attorney Crosby likened the sacri- flee of the young men who went into the service to that of Christ. They went out and were willing to sacri- flee all, he said, even their lives for their country and friends. Like Christ they too went about their work in an humble manner although the task was a great one, but they did it that the principles of right and justice might live.
 The governors talk dealt with the part Connecticut played in the war and he complimented all the men upon the success of their work, par ticularly those who served with the Yankee division, and bade all hearty welcome back to the state,
