MAKES JOURNEY TO FRANCE
New Britain Man Claims Wife He Won When He Went Across
 With American Doughboys.

A climax to one of the hundreds of romances growing out of the late war occurred last Saturday when MT and Mrs. John Natuneiwicz boarded the steamer City of Paris at Havre and started on a journey with New Britain, Connecticut, U. $. A., as their final destination.
 The trip is no new one to John. He has been across before, thus the romance; but, to the wife, it is a thrilling adventure not only on the great Atlantic but on the matrimonial ocean as well.
 When the boys from America cross the ocean and sent the kaiser's troops scurrying back to shelter, John was with them. But he did more than help save the world for democracy" he went to Paris and was smitten with the charms of a dainty li.tle French maiden. A hasty wedding followed, The doughboys from the '. S. finished their job in style and departed for their native land. m come back for you later" said John, as he kissed his weeping bride at the pier.
 He did. and last Saturday John and his wife, armed with all the neces- sary documents, secured through George A. Quigley of this city, set sail for America.

TREE HALTS TROLLEY WHEN
 IT DASHES ACROSS STREET
School Children and Other Passenger on North End Car Badly Fright
 ened by Accident at Belviderc

Several passengers were badly shaken up this morning when one man trolley car on the north end line jumped the track at distance of about 75 feet from the end of the line on Stanley street and crashed into a tree in front of the home of o. r. kraus, the truckman, at 1524 Stanley street.
 The car, which left Francis street at 7:37 o'clock, was in charge of Motorman Andrew Johnson and was filled with many school children and downtown office workers
 Passengers were seating themselves comfortably in the car just after it started when it darted across the road and smashed into the tree. The front of the car was badly damaged and several window panes were broken. Manys of the women and girls sitting on the right side of the car screamed and jumped to the left side when the car left the tracks.
 The motorman went into the home of Mir Kraus and telephoned the car starter at Central Park. The latter had another car on the scene in 20 minutes. Although it is not known what caused the car to leave the track it is believed that the front axle cracked or broke. An investigation is being made by the Connecticut company.

For this service the Engineers regiment is authorized to have the in scriptions Lorraine" and "St. Mihiel" emblazoned on it's battle streamer to be attached to the regimental colors.
 The 301st Field Signal Battalion is credited with service at Marbache from September z5 to November IL, and is awarded the inscription LOT raine." The 3o2nd Field Artillery was at st.

Continuing, the speaker said: We must realize that the boys of today are the men of tomorrow and we all know that the smallest mistake might place boy or girl on the wrong track in life.
 There is question as to whether or not the juvenile courts in this state are constitutional. The judge has the right to dismiss anyone, including the parents of a child or even the attor- ney. from the room if he wants to do so.

SMILING AS SHE GOES PAST 90TH MILESTONE Mrs. Esther M. Judd Is Happy and in Good
 Health

Mrs. Esther NJ. Judd. widow of An. drew J.. Judd, a former prominent manufacturer of this city and of New Haven, passed her 90th birthday yes. terday at the home of Miss Alice NJ Cook at II Norton Place, PlainvilIe.
 Mrs. Judd was born in Bristol March 19, 1883. On her marriage to Mr. Judd, she moved to this city where her husband was a manufac- turer.

 She entered the ranks of the nona- genarians yesterday, with an informal observance of the day. Mrs. Judd has recently passed through a siege of the grip, and on account of this, formal reception which had been planned in her honor had to be abandoned.
 Despite this, however. all day Sum day and yesterday, steady stream of friends called to offer her their feli-

On!yF Four Units Of 76th Diu. Are
 Credited With Major Engagements
301s Engineers 3O1st Field Signal Battalion 3O2nd Field Artillery and 3O3rd Field Artillery Alone Cited in War Department Records-Others Came Too Late.

Train, and the division headouarters troop and military police company, were in France from late in July and carly in August until the end of the war, but were not engaged in active service in any of the major battles.
 The Seventy-sixth division was or ganized in the early days of August, lsl1 and trained at Camp Devens, Mass. Although it was the seventh division to be organized, it was the twenty-sixth to be sent overseas.
 The custom of attaching streamers to the regimental colors to signify the battles in which the regiment had participated dates back to the Reyo- lution. Formerly the custom was to have different streamer for each bat tie; but many regiments acquired SO many of these varicolored pennons, that it was decided that herea fter there should be only one streamer, with appropriate inscriptions on it for each of the battles in which the regi- ment had served.
 For several years the war depart ment has been compiling the official records of all the 42 divisions which were sent to,Europe. and has recently been issuing these records as they were completed as part of the gen. cral orders, with authorizations for the inscription on the streamers of the various units of each division. To date, fourteen of the 42 divisions have had their records published by the department.
