 GLAD TO SEE BERLIN
Both Boys Are With 26th Division at Camp Devens-PhysicaI Director at Piayground-Other News Items Of Interest.

After walking from Hartford to their home in Sunset lane, Berlin. Ser geants Orville and Harold Ventres of the 102d regin1e ent exclaimed, "A short hike like this isn't anything when you think you are back in Gods country, Both of these young men have been Ill France for over IS months and have been in all the battles of Company F of New Britain. Owing to the critical illness Of their father George Ven tres. both the honored veterans have been very anxious to get home. The condition of MT. Ventres at the pres ent time is slightly improved.
 The boys will have to return to Camp Devens before ~ Sunday noon and will Tn all probability re- natn there until after the 26th divi sion parade which is to, be held at Boston on April 25. Their discharges vii probably be given them following the parade. ..>
 Upon their arrival at their home a number of neighbors gathered and gave them hearty welcome. Ser geant Orville ventres related a num- Der of his experiences while in the front line trenches, where for six months he was in charge of Company E, and on three occasions he led the company over the top. He stated that on one night shortly after he had been stationed in the trenches for the first time he was put on guard duty and about a. m. he saw someone advanc- Ing toward his post. He imm ediately commanded him to halt, but the per son did not seem to take notice of his command and kept on. He then push ed the safety on his rife. and was ready for immediate action and at the same time once more commanded the person to halt The stranger evi- dently heard the click of the safety and stopped. Upon approaching Ser geant Ventres found himself standing face to face with the commander of the 18th division, Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, who later congratulated Ser geant Eentres for his soidicrly con duct while on duty.
 Both of the boys have number of souvenirs which they picked up on the battlef1elds of France
