of Clinton, Mass. When he was asked where he obtained the liquor he said My memory is impaired. He said he was in the upper part of the city and clipped in his share for bottle of whiskey and someone got the bot tie. He said he didn't know who did get it, He was told by the prosecutor and His Honor that he was lying and that he could tell or go to jail He stuck to the story and was sentenced to 30 days and costs.
 Randall Baker of Pomfret didn't want to tell. When the tell or jail'' problem was put up to him and he was given a minute to think 1t oyer' he stood in silence. When it was sug- gested that he might inform the court officials and police captain in private he decided that he would accept this offer. The court room was cleared and Baker was called to the judges desk and there told what he knew. He was fined S5 and Sl costs.
 Robert Bruce, brought back from NOrWlch on d cndfSS Ui HoN SupPobt- ing his two minor children, pleaded guilty, saying that he realized that he had not done right and that he was willing to give up all he earned ex- eept enough to live on.

LAKE TELLS MEN
 OF WORK IN WAR

always he described the laughing, swearing, indomitable American boy in khaki as only those who were with him on foreign soil grew to know him.
 The talk revealed not little of MT. Lakes varied activities. There was a perance talk was productive of a unique pledge, which the originator values highly. Again, there came the necessity for heading a religious ser vice in the absence of the regular re- ligious worker. There was the organ izaton of entertainment, the contact with foreign types bearing an Ameri- can brand and always the ever push ing work of the " and the necessity for meeting. regardless of previous experience, the immediate needs of the soldier, the recounting of year of work which the listener could we'll be- lieve, would remain, as MT Lake af- firmed, the most colorful and unfor- gettable year of his career
 Seicheprey, the first American ac- ton, which like so many battles Tn which our men took part, has been too quickly crowded from view by the magnitude of later successes, was giv- en a vivid description and sincere eulogy by Mir Lake. He recounted the early days of April, 1918, when the vast German army was pushing the French and English back to Ami ems. when the ebb of French morale had reached its lowest. At this, the greatest crisis of the war, and with 6iabolical intuition, the Germans chose to test the American soldier for the first time MT, Lake told how 2oO where there should have been 25O0 American soldiers, were forced at Seicheprey to bear the brunt of the Germans in most terrific attack. Here the Americans, badly organized. their formation replete with tactical error. showed in one brief and small engagement to all Europe, to America and the Allies the type of soldier that we were organizing and training to the number of 2,000.000 to push back the tide of invasion and battle. when the fight at Seicheprey was over these same 250 Americans, wounded, de- feated and captured, had demonstrat- ed in enc brief battle what Ameriea part in the war was to be, and, MT. Lake concluded. the glory of this bat tie fell directly upon the State o1 Connecticut. for the 250 men a' Seicheprey were no others than mem hers of the One Hundred and Seeona Connecticut regiment.
 In closing MT. Lake paid splehaio and sincere tribute to the treneh ha- ton as he saw them through the dark est days of the way. Had the Ger mans succeeded at Amiens, had they pushed all the French to Bordeaux and MarseiIles and thence into the sea, the war would not have been ended In fact, Mir. Lake declared, had the manhood of France been extermlnat- ed. the war would have been carried on by its magnificent and seif-sacri- ficing women. In spite of all the greatness of soul and spirit which We had displayed and the great growth of our patriotism and unity, we still had to stand and admire the French natlon as greater than we in sacrificiai pa tfloti>m.
