The War Department is not taking
upon itself this task, but has endorsed
the campaign.
The pacifists, who lie in wait with
the very non-pacific purpose of whack-
ing the War Department whenever it
rears its head, object to anything that
smacks of military training, even
though the subjects of it are of the
non-combatant (militarily speaking)
sex.
Is An Indirect Method.
Training women, according TO the
physical culture rules of the army is
only an indirect method of accom-
plishing military training of all male
citizens" is was said at the Ma

War.

not shrink from militarism and will

he is separated, lie seriously wounded
after the husband had stabbed his
wife several times with an ice pick.
The attack occurred near the Tex
Mex station, after the woman had
alighted from street ear. Gomez

full. He was taken to the home of an
other Mexican where he is being held
under police guard. -
Gomez had been living in Falfurrias.

some time ago and instituted suit for

have as many men unfit for military
duty, as was so sadly apparent in the
last war.
Some of the army officers inter
viewed on the subject, scoffed at the
idea of giving women military train

selves out of their swivei chairs to
carry out any such program.
Jaw, the only reason they would
want to take military training for

szs TOWARDS SKATING RINK
The Patriot Will Give Sum Towards Establishment of Permanent Site

Accidents are excellent news. Their details in a newspaper are read by every reader. frequently in preference to less exciting accounts of various activities. Every year The Patriot has had to print an ac- count of the death or the serious injury of some unfortunate boy or girl killed or hurt in a coasting ac- cident, or drowned while skating on dangerous ice.
 Henry Reach of Putnam has of fered to the city an excellent site for the establishment of perma- nent skating rink and sled and to- began slide, where it is proposed that school children may spend their leisure winter hours safely and enjoyably and away from the danger of motor cars on highway hills, or the thin ice of the river and other preearious streams. The common council has found 1t inn possible to give the small sum of $500 which Is needed to create the winter sports center. The Patriot believes that there are in Putnam enough parents and friends, anx- ious for the safety of school chill dren, who will be willing to con- tribute the small amount necessary to make the rink reality. It will receive any contributions, and heads the list with the sum of S25 as a starter.
 Checks and money orders should be made payable to The Putnam Patriot Rink Fund.

 No Doubt Quickly Recover

Although suffering from a self-in- flicted bullet wound in his chest. John I. Anderson, 75, of Quinebaug, for merly of Woodstock, walked painfully late Tuesday afternoon from his barn to his house, seeking more bullets, but in this he was unsuccessful, as his frantic efforts were overcome by his two sons. The aged farmer was rush ed to the Day Kimball Hospital, this city. where the bullet has been ex- tracted. Mir Anderson's name is on the danger list, yet it is stated that his chances of recovery are good. He is we'll known in Woodstock, Webster and vicinity, and has relatives in Put nam.
 Thwsrt His Suicide Attempt
 Mir. Anderson was thwarted in his purpose to take his own life by his sons. John, IT,. 2S, and Arthur, 33, who met their father at the door. The aged man had enough strength left to put up terrific struggle to get the additional bullets he sought, but he was finally oyerpowered and made to do the will of his sons.
 Pm no good around here; l want to end 1t all." he is quoted as telling his sons. Upon the arrival of Dr. Mer- Till of Webster. Mir Anderson was or dered taken to the local hospital.
 Used 22 calibre Rifle
 According to the police Mir. Ander son went to the barn at his farm, with his % calibre rife. after having care fully dressed in new suit of over alls. Placing the muzzle of the gun against his chest, he pulled the trig ger. The bullet, however, did not in fict a mortal wound, and if he want ed to carry out his intention of killing himself. he had to have more bullets. Thus his trip to the house is accounted for.
