!
The finding of a portion of a United
{States army uniform in the Gaylord
mouse in Wilton. Saturday afternoon,
has caused any amount of speculation
as to whether the old colonial house
of historic memories, which at the pre-
sent time is unoccupied, has been har-
lbm'ing a deserter. 'Cnptain Henry A.
iF’ Young and a number of his twelve
.sons were making hay in a nearby
ifield, when a shower came up and
.- they sought shelter in the old build.
An army coat. but and lcgcins at
§onco attracted their attention, and as
the clothing was wet, it was possible
that the man who wore them had left
not long before.
Scratched on the sweat leather ol'
the hat was the name “G. Downs, l3.
Barracks, Ayer, Mass,” and in one
of the coat pockets was a small peere-
board ticket which read: 304th Ini. Ex.
No. 102121.
A new white handkerchief and some
tobacco were also in the pockets, and.
scattered about the floor were pieces
of wrapping paper which had evident-
ly contained clothing, which vm-v pro-
bably was oivilinn's attire, which the
man had donned after discarding his
uniform.

The attack came after a most violent bombardment of!

The latest reports say the Americans are holding their

Heavy shells from German naval guns are falling in
regions far behind the actual battle area. Many of these
projectiles have fallen in the City ofMeaux. twenty-five
miles from Chateau-Thierry. In many of these towns the
German shell fire is constant. the projectiles being from ten

Reports from American advance positions said the
American troops were “handling the enemy well” in the
desperate fighting. which is continuing. , ‘ ‘ ‘
At this hour it had not been determined how the battle
in the vicinity of Vaux was progressing. The whole line .
