DANTELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS


strength Of the proposed organization
The captain is particularly elated, too,
over the quality of the recruits that are
coming in. Many of those who have
signed for a term of service were too
young for enlistment during the world
war. They are showing that they are of
the same sterling quality as the boys of
1917. however, and are coming forward
to enlist and school themselves for what
ever service the nation may require OF
them in the future.
World war veterans have not been deaf
to Captain Armingtons appeals that
some of them come into the new organ
ization, for several of them have had in
terviews with him relative to the new
company and the nature of the service
that will be required in it.
This week will. find Captain Arlington
busily engaged in building up his list of
recruits and by Saturday it is hoped to
have as many as so men enrolled fer the
new company, for which IS men will be
required to reach the maximum quota.
The fact that the company is to be
motored and that 1t Is to be equipped
with high grade and powerful motor We
hicles is one thing that seems to appeal
to the Imagination of many of the young
men who are considering going in or
who have already done SO. The company
will be entirely different from any mill
! tary organization heretofore organized in
Danielson.
| Enlistments are open to residents of
all parts of the town of Killingly as we'll
as from Brooklyn and Wauregan and
other places in. the Immediate vicinity.
! The practice of allied soldiers picking
up German hand grenades and hurting
/ them out Of the allied trenches and back
| into the German lines before the internal
| things could explode recalled to the
mind Of Amos H. Arlington, veteran of
| the. Civil war, in which he served as a
member Of an artillery command. an in
cident that occurred during the battle of
| Gettysburg
The battle was raging furiously around
the Bloody Angle, where Mr.. Armington's
battery was stationed, when three-inch
confederate shell came whizzng over and
nearly severed the leg of lanyard man
on one of the guns in the Rhode Island
battery. Swerved from its course, the
missile struck horse within three feet
lof where Mr.. Arlington was standing,
passed through the animal. killing it, and
then fell to the ground without explod-
/ ing
Called to replace the man who had
kbeen wounded by the she'll and who af-
forwards died, Mr.. Arlington picked 1t
up, put it into gun Of his battery, which
it fitted exactly, and fired it back into
the confederate lines One well may
wonder what damage it created on its re-
turn journey
