Ed McMahoii has gained consid-
ersbld reputatios along Long Island
Sound as a navigator. Ed is the
macrlner owner of that good ship
"The Teeter Bean." fter defeat-
ing all the fast power boats in the
local harbor and upon .falllng to find
speed boats in other harbors that
were willing to be defeated. Ed
found himself in the same class as
Napoleon. He then sold the good
craft. much to the sorrow of First
Mate Bill Hacien. It is rumored
that the new owner will ask for a
rebate after taking one trip in the
so-called boat.

It is reported Corporation Counsel
Jawn J. Cuneo announced the
other day he was going to sell his
"gum shoes” and retire earlier
nights. This makes the second sale
that Jawn has entered into Ills
year. Only a few weeks ago he disr
posed of his famous piccolo. Jawn
discovered he could not charm the
inning the norm
with the, instrument and decided it
was worthless. If Harvard and
I'rlnceton should defeat Yale. it
would be a complete year of disc
appointments for this eminent bar-
rister.

Mayor Thomas Robins has start-
ed work' on a song entitled. “Where
are‘my wandering policemen to-
night." He just completed a little
ballad entitled. “There will he s. bOt.
. time in the old. town from now on."
Paul Connery states the
Counciman Ed Gans rendered in
the policestatlon the other morn-
ing that well known masterpiece.
"It‘s'all over now" and then shook
hands. At any rate. it is expected
all Norwalk will be singing the
mayor's latest solo when it is pub-
ilshed.

Paul. M. Lawrence. of Crescent
terrace, a lieutenant in the First
Pigeon company. Signal corps. U. S.
R.. is the owner of a valuable tro-
phy of the World war in the form
of a communication scribbled with
pencil and carried by pigeons from
the front line to his regimentfi
headquarters from Colonel Charles
W. Whiltlesey. heroic commander of
the famous "Loat Butalioon."
Lieutenant Lawrence was a ser-
geant. first class in the Pigeon Sec-
tion of the U. S. Signal corps dur-
ing the World war. On the morn-
Licutenant Lawrence was in
the pigeon loft of the
in the Argonne. Sud-
ho smoke and the
77th Division
ahead of him flew a pigeon bear-
ing the following message:
“From Commanding Officer, First
The attack occurred a little afterl Battalion. 308th Infantry:
"To Commanding Oflicer. 308th
sollni's automobile was proceeding Infantry:
"We are reconnoitering to find the
number of Germans there. Not in
touch yet with the four companies
of the regiment on the right of the
valley to our cast.
"(Signed) WHITTLESE'Y.
“Major."
Lieutenant Lawrence. after read-
ing the message, phoned it to head-
quarters and kept the original
paper. bringing it back to this coun-
try witll him. The message is be—
lieved to have been one of the last
ones that Whittlcsey sent by pigeon
when his gallant battalion which
had advanced far beyond support-
ing companies. had, after captur-
ing its objective, been surrounded
by the Germans and cutoff from the
rest of the regiment. Many runc
ners were sent out in an etIort to
carry messages to the rear. but
they were mowed down in their
tracks and it was necessary to car-
ry all of the messages by pigeon.
Lieutenant Lawrence's valuable
trophy came to light while he was
attending the camp of the reserve
officers at Camp Devens. He is at-
tached to tile First Pigeon com-
pany. Signal corps. under the com-
mand of Major Edwin Cooper.
Lieutenant Lawrence served in the
Pigeon section during the war and
after being discharged from the
army was given a. commission in
the U. S. Reserve corps.
Tile Boston Post recently printed
it long story regarding the trophy
and Lieutenant Lawrence has re-
ceived a. request from the Chief
Signal Officer in Washington to turn
the message over to him. It will
in turn be awarded to Smithsonian
Institute to be placed on exhibition.
He will probably forward the mea-
:8“ to Washington in‘ the near fu-
ure.
