Wilfred Pollard has returned to his home on South Front street, after a long period of service in >he English army. When the Germans threw the world into the biggest war In history Pollard was engaged in the merchant service, being on boat that was run ming between New York and Panama Tn the latter part of September 1914, ne set sail ou the Lusitanis, for Eng land and upon his arrival there enlisted in the army. From that date he has served with the English Royal Horse Guards, seeing plenty of service throughout Belgium and northern France. The story of his life while in the army would no doubt make very interesting story, but. like all the other boys who have passed through the hell of the last four years he has nothing to say excepting that he is glad-r is over and hopes there will be no more of war toy settle the arguments of nations. There, is no doubt that Dr. Pollard has the honor of having seen the longest period of service of any lighter around these parts and his home town is proud of his splendid record, extending from October 1914 to May 1919.

The fourth get together of the Brotherhood club of the United Con- sregational church was largely attend cd on Monday evening when Dr. Frank $. Bunnell addressed tho men at the Community House on Church street
 Dr. BQnnells topic was The Peace Conference and It's Works and during
 the course of his talk he went over
 tho peace terms and in clear and
 logical way pointed out the wisdom Of
 the various clauses. In speaking Of
 President Wilson's part in the confer
 ence Dr. Bunnell said that the presi-
 dents part had been that of a referee
 and he had snoothed over many of
 the rough places and if it hadn't been
 for him the conference would have
 been broken up many times. I think
 he has done his work pretty well, said Dr. Bunnell, it is a good peace.
 In speaking of the league Of na- tions Dr. Bunnell said that the idea of the league was good and could be carried out if England would stick with the United States and that some such arrangement was necessary for tho establishment of g. permanent peace. He also explained why it was 1 impossible for Italy to hold FiuIne and also spoke of the aims and claims of the allied powers.
