The allotments are large and the women of Hartford will have to concentrate all their efforts so that the city may go "over the top" in its actual Red Cross work as well as it did in procuring the money with which to carry it on.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Clark have received further news from their son, who is in a prison camp in Germany. Private Clark, who was a member of Company of the 102d Infantry, was wounded and taken prisoner in the battle of Seicheprey on 1 April 20.

A short letter had previously been received from him and on Friday the following letter was received, giving more details of his capture and injuries: Festung Lazareth III, Gevmesheim-on-Rhine, Germany. "Dear Mother and above is my address, spelled it wrong in the last letter, but if you send my mail to the above and put prisoner of war before my name I will get it all right. When you get this letter wish you would send me a box of things I need. If you send it to this address I will get it, for if have gone to the prison camp my mail will all be forwarded. have no money and no way of getting anything except from home.

What is a safety razor, shaving soap, tooth brush and paste, soap, a couple of towels, socks and handkerchiefs, a jack-knife, needle and thread, paper and envelopes, and some eats, such as chocolates, tinned meats, etc. of course it will take them quite a while to get here, but they will all be very welcome. Pack them in a good wooden box. "I suppose by this time you must have read all about the terrible batwe had when we were taken prisoner. There were 183 of us taken prisoner and a bunch of them were wounded.

If you ever see a list of the dead wish you wou'd send it to me, as we don't know who is dead and who is alive aside from those captured. The way came to be wounded is as follows: was back in the support line attached to Battalion Headquarters with the sniping section. There were about fifteen of us asleep in a small dugout when the barrage first started. We didn't think much of the big shells, although they were landing all around us and about 5:30 o'clock the barrage ceased and we thought everything was quiet when all of a sudden outside the dugout it sounded as if all hell had broken loose. I was sleeping nearest the door and the next thing I knew three bombs came in through the door.

One landed square in my bed and the other two alongside of it. When they went off they took me along with them, and I had my left thumb nearly blown off, my hands filled with shrapnel, also my face and eyes, and a small wound in my right arm and my ears stunned so that I couldn't hear. picked myself up and found that was a long ways from deade so we all grabbed our rifles and for about fifteen minutes the bullets were flying both ways in that dugout. Finally everything outside became quiet and we thought we must have driven theme a off volley when of all of about a sudden fifteen there hand grenades in through the door. From this I got a wound in the leg.

We were all pretty badly wounded and several were killed we surrendered and were taken prisoners. Then together with another big bunch we were marched over through No Man's Land, through the trenches and for about ten kilos we hiked along until we came to a big town. There we waited a'l day until they had gathered all prisoners together and then We went farther into the in- NERVOUSNESS ON THE DECLINE Doctors Encouraged, They Hold Out Hope for All "Nothing wrong but my nerves." We hear it at home, at work and everywhere. Certainly, nervousness is a disease. A man or woman might better have a broken leg than a shattered, run down nervous system.

Overwork and worry drains the nerve cells and centers of all their strength and vitality, then you get your sleepless nights, poor blood. nervousness, worry and fear that goes with a worn-out, brokennervous system. The better doctors of today know just what to do in cases of this kind. They know that few weeks' use of Phosphated Iron rarely fails to strengthen, stimulate and the Phosphate-hungry nerve centers. Phosphated Iron certainly does take hold.

The way the majority of patients come back is remarkable. You can almost see their nerves grow steady, strong and peaceful. What a change in appearance, too. The cheeks become filled out and flushed with the healthy ruddy glow that only pure, red. ironized blood can give, eyes sparkle, their step has the spring and swing of youth and their whole system seems to be alive with energy and good spirits.

Mr. Nervous Man or Woman. Phosphated Iron will do all this for you if you will give it a chance. Do not drag around, all in and half dead another day when help is so near. Get busy! and be live one once again, To insure doctors and their pAtients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only, so do not allow dealers to give you pills or tablets.

Insist on capsules. Alderman Drug Goodwin Drug and leading druggists everywhere.

I am all right except for the wounds in my thunb and leg, but in two months will be well. I am lucky after all. No more fighting for me. Just hang around Germany and work until the war is over. I don't suppose will be able to write more than once a month or so.

This is a long letter and I guess I must bring it to a close. "With love to you and all. "Ed." HOWE VICE-CONSUL AT CARDIFF, WALES Hartford Man Picked for Work in Great Coal Center.

We came out of the trenches yesterday and, believe me, you cannot imagine what the experience was as we were under one of worst shell fires of the war or at least that is what is claimed by sev. eral of the officers and French soldiers. We didn't have any casualties in our company as we didn't get into the front line, although some of us were within a five minutes' walk of the front on detail work. I saw Wibur Lefeber (a Norfolk draftee who until landing overseas was in the same company as the writer at Camp Devens) yesterday for the first time since we were separated four months ago, We had quite a chat together as he was telling me about his first time in the trenches and he said ne was almost picked off several difterent times, but came out with only a slight bruise on the leg where a piece of shrapnel hit him. We are on the move again.

This division seems to be on the go most of the time and we travel most on foot, but are getting, used to it." In a previous letter mentions having "moved several hundred miles, mostly on toot."
