SEEKING SOLDIERS NAMES.
Vermont Veterans Compiling a State
 Roll of Honor.

Vermont Veterans Compiling . State
 Roll of Honor.
 The correct history of a war, say wise men, cannot be written until years after the war has been ended. We are only in the furnishing process of the civil war inHthis country now. Nearly every state is now engaged in perfecting it's list of soldiers who took part in the conflict. Vermont is partic- ularly active in this respect. The Green Mountain state is never tired of boasting of the large quota of men it furnished for the federal army-larger, I believe, in proportion to it's popula- tion than any other state.
 Adjt. Gen. T. S. Peck has charge of the state "Roll of Honor'' which is now being compiled. He has sent out the following notice:
 "An Vermonters who served with the troops from the state of Vermont, in the regular army and navy, United States colored troops and in organiza- tions from other states, or the relatives and friends of deceased soldiers, are re- quested to send the names, rank and or ganizations in which they served, with a short sketch of their service, to the adjutant generals office at Burlington, Vt., at their earliest opportunity, in order that they may be notified of the Vermont Roll of Honor,' in process of compilation, which will contain a se- ries of illustrated biographical sketches of Vermonters who served as soldiers and sailors in the civil war of 1S61-65, and in which it is desired to have the record of every Vermonter who served in tha of fha raha1linn
 Gen. Peck finds it almost impossible to get correct list of Vermonters re- siding outside of the state, but he hopes in this way to receive many responses to his request. Of course ''the roll of honor," of which he speaks, will be of the greatest interest to Vermont sol diers, their relatives and friends in flu. ture years

The site selected was on Fourth avenue and Twenty-eighth street, convenient to car lines and elevated stations, but the owner of the middle lot, supposing his land indispensable to the scheme, promptly went up ten thousand dollars in his price, and the committee as promptly dropped that location.
