 Alwyn, the son of the Rev. and Mrs. L. Rees, arrived home last Sunday after over two years at the front in France. In February, 1917, he volun- teered as a driver with the Norton Harjes Ambulance Corps, and when the unit to which he belonged was taken over by the American Expedi- tionary Force and formed into section 646 of tae Army Ambulance Corps he enlisted as private in the American army. He worked with the French army during the whole term of his voluntary and enlisted service. The following account of section 646 was in the New York Times of last Thurs day: Section 646 of the Army Am bulance Corps returned on the Mobile bearing flag decorated at it's tip with six ribbons and six French war cross es, and every one of the eighteen mem- bers of the unit wore the Criox de Guerre and were promised the French Medal Militaire before they sailed from France. Each member of the unit also wore the Fourragere cord at his shoulder, the green and red, show ing that the corps had been cited six times for bravery. The only other Americans with this decoration are the 625th section, which also arrived Escadrille."

 Stafford has subscribed $110,000 to the Victory Liberty Loan. The quota flag on the indicator in the National bank window is but little more than half way up the pole There together if our quota flag is to reach the top, as Stafford's quota flags all ways have done. Come on, New Eng flanders, let's finish the job" In ad- dition to the usual community honor flag, the New England Liberty Loan committee will award to each locality which has fulfilled the requirements for all five loans, a special Beginning to End" flag. Posters are up announc- ing the coming of the War Relic train to Stafford next Tuesday. The train is scheduled to arrive at 3 p. m. Pre- ceding it's arrival the Italian band will give a concert in Haymarket Square. A. J. Needham, who recently returned to his home here from service in France, will address the gathering. There will also be talks by Liberty Loan speakers who make up the per sonnel of the train crew, following which the public will have an oppor- tunity to inspect the exhibits. The train will consist of three fiat cars and box car. It will be loaded with heavy guns, trench mortars, flame throwers, rifles and large variety of equipment taken from the enemy on the fields of battle. The Connecticut train was fortunate enough to draw by lot the famous "Hindenburg Pill" the metal construction in which Gen. Hindenburg was accustomed to sit, watching operations at the front through a revolving turret.
