STATE HOSPITAL DWELLING BURNED

the former dying there 20 years ago ana the latter seven years afterwards. Their son, Joseph E. Carpenter, who lives nearby, recalled some interesting incl
 dents about the old house Tuesday night, which he had heard related by his father. When it was first built it was a tavern with a dance hall upstairs where many dances were held through the winter. Nr when the house was
 rebuilt there Was a gallery from which the dancers could be watched and MT. Carpenter remembers seeing one or two dances there.
 Eighty or ninety years ago a man named O'Brien lived in the house, ac- cording to what MT. Carpenter remem-
 bers his father told him, and bought all the shad that used to be caught in the
 Thames river. At that time the shad fishing was such an important occupa- tion that probably eighteen to twenty gangs were fishing from Perch rock to
 Allyn's Point, and Mr. O'Brien used to take all their fish, paying IA cents per fish to the men who caught them
 and selling them to peddleFs' teams that
 came from all over this section of the state and carried the fish away to sell to the farmers. Every farmer salted down q barrel of shad just as regularly as he salted down pork for his family supplies. At one time the elder Carpen 1 ter said he saw as many as 5000 shad
 at once stored in the cellar of the house
 which measured about 38 by 40 feet
 When the railroad in 1843 bought z

WANT MEN FOR A. F. F.
 FOR ARMY IN GERMANY

Scores of eX-service men, and others
 whose youth prevented their service dur
 ing the World war will be interested in
 the telegram received at the army re-
 cruiting station at New London, an
 nouncing that 759 infantrymen, 12 cooks,
 and 27 bakers are needed at once for
 the American Expeditionary Forces in
 Germany It will be remembered that a
 little more than thousand men were
 called for the first week in August, and
 this quota was filled within a week by
 the general recruiting service, and the
 recruiting officers urge quick action on
 the part of those who contemplate en-
 listing for Germany.
 In the enlisting for the previous quo ta. the Springfield district, of which New London is a substation, did excel lent work and secured nearly 100 men most of them being old soldiers. The war department is anxious to enlist a very high type of men for it's German forces, and only men of more than ave rage mentality and physique will be taken. It is planned to send these troops overseas at once, and conse- quenty their training will be rapid
 hence the need of high type of men
 who can be instructed readily.
 The advantages of service in Germany
 are many Our troops on the Rhine are splendidly quartered fed and clothed,
 and their amusements are the best troupes from France and the U. S. A. entertain them, and passes are given literally so that the doughboys can wis it the historic castles and cities of Ger many. The troops of the American forces in Germany publish a daily news paper and at present a baseball league. formed of service teams is clos ing ist reason.
 The low rate of the German money allows our boys to live like millionaires as all American troops are paid in American currency-which purchase a bushel basket of marks, The mark or dinarily is worth a quarter but is so de-
 fated that a dollar buys fifty of them The whole situation is summed up by saying that an American private's pay (taking into consideration the foreign service increase), when changed into marks, is more marks than a German colonel gets, or more than the mayors of the largest cities.
 The educational system of the army has followed our troops overseas-and the soldier has a chance to learn a~trade and continue his academic education under excellent instructors, All in all the American doughboy in Germany, is in soldier slang sitting on the world" Sergeant Dunster, in charge of the To- cal army recruiting office, believes thai ! the quota needed for Germany will bt
 secured within ten days, and will be glad to talk over an enlistment witt l those who are interested.

Sparks said to have come from an en- zine on the New Haven road set fire to the roof of a dwelling house alongside the railroad track about a quarter of a mile south of the Norwich state hos pital and the building was burned to the ground about 1 o'clock Tuesday after noon. It was a tenant house on the state hospital property and was occu- pied by MT and Mrs. R. Smallwood and family of five children
 The loss on the building was estimat- ed at S5,000 by Superintendent Franklin s. Wilcox. The state carries no insur- ance on any of it's buildings. The furni- ture in the house was saved and the Smallwood family was given temporary quarters at the state hospital after the fire, They recently came here from Virginia to the state hospital where MT. SmallwoOd is employed as a shoemaker.
 When the roof was discovered on fire, a call for help was sent to the state hos pital and Dr. Wilcox responded with a force of men with fire extinguishers, and formed a bucket brigade, but the fire had too much of a start for them to do anything towards saving the house. The roof had already begun to fall in by the time they had arrived so that efforts were directed to preventing the fire from spreading to adjoining property, while a watch was kept on the wodos to which flying sparks were carried. The roof of Mrs. Amanda Spalding's bungalow near by caught fire once but the blaze was extinguished by the hospital fire fight CTS
 The house that was burned was a two and a half story frame dwelling, when,
 it is said, was probably one of the ola est houses in New London county, hay ing been built probably 150 years ago. II was the home for 30 or 40 years of the late MT and Mrs. John H. Carpenter
