 Wilin1antic had it's first real taste of winter, Wednesday. People walking up Main street faced a strong pierc- ing wind. Earlaps and heavy gloves made their appearance for the first time this season.
 There was no gathering on the street corners or at churches in this city on i Wednesday to await the end of the who read the articles written on this l cording to the words of one person in | the city it was "too blooming cold to wait for anything to come to an end" 1 The WiIimantic Y. D. Veterans As sociation placed themselves on record as fayoring a. bonus to be paid by the l government based on the number of 1 months a man has spent in the ser vice of his country. They also sent a resolution to Secretary of War New 1 ton D. Baker which expressed their 1 sentiments in the decision of the war department to jump three junior off,
 cers over the head Of General Ed wards. the most popular leader the New England Division had. The res- l olution forwarded to Secretary Baker 1 follows:
 "Whereas. We the members of the Y. D. Veteran Association of Wiln- mantle Conn.,. have noted with great interest and concern the attempted jumping of three generals over our es- l teeneed General Edwards, and
 Whereas. We who have served ua- der him know that no general of the present day is more deserving of pro- motion than is General Edwards. for regardless Of whatever criticism may have appeared against him hv those in power in the American E. r. there
 is the greatest certainty that no other general in France or elsewhere ever
 commanded the respect and confidence of the men who served under them. ard
 Whereas, That point in itself is the
 highest factor in the making of an ar
 my and those of us who served in the
 ranks know well that the. efficiency
 and soldier1y bearing of General Ed
 wards could never be questioned. and
 Whereas. There never can be a
 body of men any more capable of de, 1 eldfng the efuciency or those over i them, especially in time of war, thar soldiers themselves. Therefore,
 Be it. Resolved. That the Y. D
 Veterans Association If WiIlimantie
 Conn.,, go on record as decidedly
 aeainst this sighting of General Ed wards. For to cast him aside wou.d only be a word to the whole of New Fngland that General Edwards is tot
 broad minded and just to hold rank il
 our army. Ard be it further: Resolved. That copy et these res , olutions be dispatched to Secretary o
 War Newton D. Baker for his conven , lence and proper consideration" By authority of the Y. D. Veterans
 Association.
