Dearest Mother
Your letter-Oct. 1st-was brought
up to me today. 1t was very fine TO
hear something from home. I needed
something like that-things have been
hard and nerve straining since Oct
31st.
l can't write great deal-every

back of me, sending iron rations
to Hen*ie, and / am balancing this

to bother here about taking along
writing material, candles, etc-Hen-
ME i'm his haste is leaving plenty Of
that behind.

have been gassed again. rot serious,
but sufficient to make me unfit foc
line duty for while; with sore throat
and violent cough.
Nov. Ill guess we'll all remember
this day-1t's too big and wonderful
to grasp. The war is over! Peace |!
Lord! 1 feel too incoherent to write
any thing but this, to assure you that
your anxiety may be over-What are
the words of Comfort ye'-"And cry
unto her that her warfare is accompl-
ished"-Comfort ye-
And on, mother, I'm glad for you--
glad that you have been spared the
supreme sacrifice. And glad too, that
because of the war I am only able
to thirk of you and your happiness
at this wonderful time.
Verdun, France, Nov. 24.-As yoh
may see by the heading, we are low
permitted to give our location-many
censorship regulators have been
omitted. If ! had the ambition and
time could write a complete ac-
count of where l have been and M
experiences. But that would be a
.org story and 1 should much rather
wait and tell you all about it, sitting
comfortably arourd a fire at home.
In a few days we. are going down
to a place called La Vile anx Bois,
near Chaumont, in the Haute Marne.
IT. is a delightful little village near
the head waters of the Marne. We
fought there last May.
I haven't the slightest idea when
this battalion will be coming back.
but I am quite sure it will be among
the first of the fighting forces to re-
turn. You see we are now divisional
troops; that is attached to corp Or
an army Now we are simply attached
to the first army under 1t. General
Liggett. We have been in action at
tached to the 26th, 2Sth, 42ad, s1st,

1t is rumored from good sources

MAYOR roo BUSY
 TO HEAR REPLIES
Fails to Stay While PaoneSSa and
 Curtis Have Their Innings

Resenting the remarks which Mayor George A. Quigley made to the sol diers at the mass meeting held in the armOry last Friday evening, and ac- cusing him of conduct unbecoming of a man as mayor of New Britain, and poisoning the minds of the soldiers, Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa caused a sensation at the special session of the common council last evening. Mayor Quigley, after turning over the chair to Alderman H. P. Richards, re- piled to the criticism hurled at him and then left the meeting in the mid dle of the discussion while Alderman o. F. Curtis shouted at him to wait a minute as he wanted to ask him a question. Mayor Quigley ignored AL derman Curtis but returned to the chamber a few seconds later to secure a package which he had forgotten on his desk. Alderman Curtis again call ed to the mayor, saying he would like to speak to his honor.' II haven't got the time,' replied Mayor Qugley, hurrying out of the chambers. "I am too busy
 Paonessa AssaiIs Mayor.
 Following the transaction of the regular business of the session, Alder man Paonessa asked for special privi
 
 which was granted him. He then started a volley of criticism against the mayor. He said that he resented tke remarks which were made at the soldiers meeting. The speech which was made at the time by Mayor Quig ley was unbecoming for a man who is the mayor of New Britain. The stand taken by the mayor. he said, against the Il members of the council who voted against the appropriation of $1,OO0 last spring to send a delegation to Boston to welcome home the local boys in the Yankee division, was done by the mayor for the promoti of his personal political interests. "If your honor has anything to say against the II members. you should say it to their faces" continued Alderman Paonessa. Tt should be thrashed out here in the chambers. You are poisoning the minds of soldiers for the promotion of your own political interests"
 Alderman PaOnessa recited how he has always stood behind the adminis- tration. In the past nine Nears,' he said. he attended every meeting of the l council but one. He was not present | at this one session because he was In l the hospital. he stated. He said that | the remarks of Mayor Quiglev were a l renect0n on the II who had voted 1 against the appropriation of s1,OO0 for | the welcome home of the 1O2d infan- 1 try.
 1 Mayor Ignores Remarks Mayor Quigley turned the chair over l to Alderman Richards. Taking the floor he said that the remarks of AL
 derman Paon essa ought to be ignored l The criticism caused, he said, resulted 1 from the remarks made by one of the 1 boys at the meeting who stated that
 the council was not with the soldiers | The mayor added that he had no apol- | Ogy to offer for the remark He said
 that he corroborated the statement of
 the soldier when he added "that no 1 1 men ran this city" The mayor said 1 that he did not intend to offer an ] apology or to stand criticism from the | floor.

leaving the meeting during the heat of the discussion said that Mayor Quigley could have. raised the money if he had kept cool. "The matter could have easily been adjusted he continued, but you went out and hollered about it and gained a po- litical point. The eleven council mem bers who voted against the ap- propriation were and are just as pa triotic as you. The men sent just as many men to France as the mayor. This thing ought to be thrashed out in the council.'
 Resents Cowardice msinuations. |: Mayor Quigley replied that any, thing he said at the soldiers meet ing he would have said to the mem- bers' faces. "I can never be ac- cused of cowardice.' said Mayor .Quigley. "When you voted against the appropriation to welcome the boys you laid yourselves open to criticism" ;" The mayor then excused himself from the meeting but Alderman Curtis Jumped to his feet and shouted after the mayor, "Your honor, I'd like to ask you a question:"
 T cant wait" replied Mayor Quig- ley, and he left the room.
 Councilman Gillin was then recog nized by the chair and he gave a lengthy recital of the part that he played during the war and his pa triotism. He explained that he had supported every measure in favor of the soldiers, emphasi sizing his remarks by banging his fist on the desk. He said that he objected to the appro- priation of the S1 ,000 because it was the taxpayers money. He believed at the time that the money should have been raised by private subscrip tion and added that he offered $30 as his donation to the mayor. During

his speech Councilman Kerwin moved to adjourn.
 At this juncture of the meeting it was found that with the leaving of Mayor Quigley there was not a quorum present and the session would have to be adjourned. It was then discovered that Alderman Nurczyk was in the spectators gallery. He removed his coat and took his seat In the chamber and the session again started.
 Later in the meeting Alderman Curtis, asking for the right of per sonal privilege again brought up the discussion. He said that as Mayor Quigley had left the council he did not wish to say anything behind his back, "But as mayor of the city he went too far He said that the pa triotism of some of the eleven mem bers who had voted against $1,000 had been questioned. Talk is cheap" he said, and actions speak louder than words" He said that the sol diers were in error when they ac- cused the city fathers of lack of pa triotism. He pointed with pride at the records of the council. He stated that in every case when appropria- tions, with one exception, had been asked they had been granted. "The appropriation of S1,000 would have been illegal" he concluded. "I am willing to leave my records in the council open to the soldiers of New Britain.''
 The meeting was then adjourned.

Save The Schools.

Some day we will learn that even
our school system can be made the
center of to many propagandas
center of tn tn tn tn tn tn thttt
There are enthusiastics of all kinds
who have been dreaming of making
the school houses of the country
over into their pet promoters of all
their schemes and ideas. One wants
this and the other wants that.
Medical men, socialists, moralists of
all kinds are invading the schools of
the people. They are all like the
little foxes that destroy the tender
vines.
Some day we will have an
awakening of the old time common
sense and then we will re-dedicate
the schools to the purpose for which
they were established. The primary
purposes of the schools are to make
children able to provide for them
selves in the way of reading and
thinking. It is not to make them
think as this Or that set of fellows
want them to think. Reading and
writing and arithmetic with whole
some morals, and fervid American
these are the fundamen-
tails of common schools systems
And what we add more ought to be
carefully guarded, or we shall turn
out lopsided generation.-Ceda
