New York.-"we do not hope any I
longer; We die"
The despair to which bolshevik mis-
rule has reduced Russia is thus epito- |
mixed by Russian noblewoman wide
iy known throughout her country. in "A
picture of events In her
country contained in letter received
recently in New York. Her castles
and estates plundered or RACED. her
fortune vanished and her friends and
family murdered. this titled woman is
moved to remark that three years
ago, my second daughter and her hus-
band died, he having caught cold In
the trenches. Then l was in despair:
now envy them"
II beg of you never to mention my
name; l wrote frankly to you counting
on your discretion" is the plea which
fear of bolshevik tyranny moves the
unfortunate woman to place at the
close of her letter to her friend. a New
York woman Of prominent and infiuen-
tinl family. Excuse the incoherences

A graphic tale of the misery that

MARKS OF SERVICE

AS the soldiers come back it will
be interesting to distinguish the
meaning of the various cheyrons
which they wear upon their sleeves.
We subjoin a list
A single blue chevron means dis
charged with honor"
A single blue chevron means less
than six months service abroad.
A single gold chevron for each
wound received in service is worn
on the forearm of right sleeve.
A single gold chevron for each six
months complete service abroad Is
worn on the forearm of the left
sleeve.
A single white chevron for each
complete six months service in the
United States is worn on the forearm
OF left sleeve.
There is generally a mere question
OF opportunity not of willingness OF
ability between these service marks
In many cases the man who would
gladly have served abroad has beer
retained in this country simply be
cause he has shown superior ability
and therefore was better qualified tC
Instruct others. The man who dis
plays any one of the chevrons above
described has done his full duty by
his country and is worthy of honor.

.26TH DIVISION
 DEMOBILIzED Last 5000 Mustered Out In Record Time
 Today.

Aver, Mass, April 29 - The 26th (Yankee) Division passed out of ex- istence with the demobilization with the last of it's units at Camp Devens today. From now on the command which was the first National Guard division to get into action in France, will be only a memory and represent ed only by it's veteran associations The 5000 men who remained in camp after the discharge of the various units yesterday, were mustered out in record time today.
 It was expected that by nightfalI the only members of the division re- maining here would be 200 in the camp hospital; 500 who are to be kept until Saturday for naturaliza- ton and approximately 300 others who have been transferred to the de- pot brigade for an indefinite stay. The latter are men who were absent without leave and failed to get their discharge papers fixed up in time for demobilization with the division.
 Members of the band of the 104th Infantry who were put on the "A. W. O. L." list because of a trip they took away from the camp soon after their return from France left the canton ment today free of all military stigma. One of the last acts of Colonel B. F. Cheatham, commander of the regi- ment. was to restore the rating of
 members of the oand.

SUNDAY MOVIES
 VETOED BY coy.
Senate Will Try to Pass Bill Over Holcomb's
 Head.

Hartford, April 29-Legislative ac- tivity reached its height today on this the first day of what is expected to be the last business week of the gen eral assembly for 1919. In the sen ate debate began about l o'clock on four so-called trolley bills originated by the special commission which in- vestigated trolley conditions, three bills having unfavorable reports and one favorable. All were made the order of the day for noon, but this was delayed until the calendar could be cleaned up. The House, almost at the outset, indulged in a long debate on the bill to give women the right to vote for presidential and vice pres idential electors, which the senate re- jected last week.
 A veto by Governor HoIcomb of the bill to allow Sunday moving picture exhibitions, it was reported, would be sent to the senate this afternoon and if such a message was received it is said that an immediate attempt would be made to pass the bill, the veto notwithstanding.
 The boxing commission bill was re- turned by the appropriations com mittee to the judiciary committee Representative Eaton, the House chairman, saying that under the bill the state would be required to pay the salaries and expenses of the commission, and the appropriations commission believed the commission should be self supporting.
 The railroads committee reported a bill granting a, charter to Charles E. Graham, for a street railway in Dan- bury.
 On the labor t1n providing for a nine-hour day, of 50 hours in any cal endar week for women and minors under Is years in manufacturing and mercantile establishments, ETith che limitation of 55 hours in a week ii the employer shall give not less thar seven days vacation with pay, the favorable minority report was accept ed and the bill adopted without a dis senting voice Among the senators who spoke for the bill were Bishop Bowers, Bissell, Fox and Delaney.
 The bill to exempt tke Danbury and Bethel street railway from taxation was adversely reported.
