Six hundred let ters signed by Mayor Desmond and asking for subscriptions. have been sent out by the committee on finance and the returns from these letters are coming in slowly.

 Both the general committee and the committee on entertainment are greatly indebted to Ensign H. J. Dunne of the submarine base for valuable as- sistance in the arrangements for the celebration. When seen by Secretary Branche of the executive committee, Ensign Dunn expressed a willingness to do everything in his power. in order that the occasion might be a signal success. He was instrumental in as signing twenty five provost guards to serve under the direction of the gen eral committee. in taking part in the regulation of traffic on the grounds, helping the athletic and amusement committees in running the races and sports, and to do any police duty that may be required of them- He also agreed to put on "A Battle Royal' a comedy boxing match in which six sailors for the submarine base will participate. This feature will furnish a great deal of amusement. on account of it's novelty.

the nearest relative of those men who while in the service of their country either in the army or navy. whether at home or abroad. made the supreme sacrifice of offering their lives for the cause. The Norwich list of deceased men numbers 63 and so far as the names and addresses could be learn ed, they were invited to take the place of the deceased member of their lam fly at the welcome home celebration There were quite few, however, who lost their lives while in the service, whose relatives could not be located and it is the desire of the committee that if there are any relatives of de- ceased soldiers or sailors who have failed to receive an invitation. that they communicate with the chairman of the executive committee. Mayor J. J. Desmond, as every effort is being made by the committee to see that no family is overlooked. It has also been ascertained that there are a few Norwich boys still overseas with the army of occupation. and it is expect ed that the parents of those boys will make use of the invitation which was sent to their sons. and represent them on that occasion. All the invita- tions were prepared for mailing by Miss Ethel NJ. Sevin who is in charge of the home service station of the Red
 
 ters, stamping and sealing the same and enclosing with the invitation 32OO tickets. She was assisted in this work by the following: Mrs. Jane l.. Cas- sidy, James McCrohan and Louis E. Roder.
 Men to Wear Uniforms.
 The question has been frequentIy asked of some member of the com mittee whether or not the eX-serYice l men were expected to attend the cele- l atiOn in uniform. This matter was ] discussed by the executive committee l and it was the unanimous opinion of | the committee that it would add great i ly to the. success of the celebration if l the men would wear their uniforms as 1 it would be a distinguishing mark and | enab ble the citizens who will attend | the exercises for the purpose of hon. bring the men who served in khaki or | in blue, to pick them out from i the crowd that will be pres ent. But whether in uniform or in civilian attire. every ex-service man will be welcome. and the ticket which | was sent to him with his invitation :. will entitle him to all the privileges of | -he day.
 All Men in Service Welcome.
 There are number of men still in he service. stationed at the submarine base and in and around New London. and while very few, if any. are sons of Norwich. an invitation has been extended to the officers and enlisted | men of the army. navy and marine corps to attend the celebration as the
