Unrest in the Arm

The increase of the corps of engineers
will be the only army personnel legis
lation enacted at this session of Con-
gress. This does not please the officers
of the mobile army, of course-that is,
of the infantry, cavalry and field artil-
lery-who have been anxiously awaiting
favorable action on the bill to increase
the army by 600 officers in order to fill
vacancies in the line made by officers on
detached duty. The infantry officers
have made public protest against the
increase of the engineer corps, and have
intimated that that body should nc
longer be considered part of the mill
tary establishment, as most of the
army engineers are engaged on purely
civil work, such as river and harbor
improvements. For this reason it is
desired to separate the corps from the
army proper and to cut them off from
obtaining officers from among graduates
of the Military Academy. At present
the West Pointers graduated at the
head of their classes are assigned to the
engineers, and this number will be in
creased if Congress enacts the pending
legislation charging the corps.
There is somewhat of turmoil in the
army as a result of the proposed in
crease of engineers, and much feeling
has been manifested by the cavalry and
field artillery officers. This is not ex-
pected to interfere with the enactment
of the measure, however, as the bill
has passed the House and is destined to
be favorably reported from the Senate
military committee. A new aspect of
the situation-has been created by bill
introduced last week by Representative
Slayden of Texas, who proposes pub
lie works branch of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, with personnel
made up largely of army engineers,
taking them eventually out of the army
and putting them in charge of public
works. The only engineers remaining
in the military establishment would be
connected with field engineering, which
is purely military duty.

TOWN AS A STOCK COMPANY.

Ohio Village Has Board of Directors,
and Only Stockholders Can Vote.
A village Incorporated as a stock
company, governed by a board of d.
rectors and where, only stockholders
are voters, is the very latest in the
world of "model towns" This village
is Birmingham, a part of Florence
township, in Erie county. o.

unsatisfactory features which have

which has been the very foundation of
these unsuccessful communities. is en-
tirely outside the structure of this new
village. In it none but property hold
ers can be stockholders, and none but
q stakeholder has q vote in the cleo
ton of its governing officials. The
idea, too. of common fund, or store
house, which has been a feature with
most of the communities. has been
eliminated from the government OF
Birmingham. Each family is separate
from it's neighbors, both in its manner
of living and in the matter of worldly
goods.

incompetency of officials
In an address at a recent meeting
the attitude of those interested was
expressed by one of the officials. who
said:
I'VE have come to the decision that
the trouble with a village government
is that the votes of persons who have
not a dollars worth of taxable proper

President Taft has decided to appoint
Theodore Roosevelt as the head of a
peace commission, the duty of which
will be to work for universal peace.
This was disclosed at meeting of the
House committee on foreign affairs.
Congressman Bennett, of New York, a
member of the comittee was authorized
to combine his resolution providing for
a peace commission with a similar
measure introduced by Bartholdt, of
Missouri. The duty of the commission
will be ito consider the eXpediency of
utilizing existing international agencies
for the purpose of limiting the arma-
ments of the nations of the world by in
ternational agreement and of constitut-
ing the combined navies of the world an

of universal peace" President Taft is
in favor of the legislation, and it is said
that he has made up his mind to make

With each Decoration Day it becomes
more and more apparent how swiftly
the old soldiers are passing away. Once
we hardly thought of it-really looked
upon these gatherings as a permanent
feature among us-possibly in the long
ago, gave them but passing thought.
But all that is passed. Our first
thought and glance today is not at the
band, the decorated streets, the modern
soldiers in line of march, but at the
struggling and feeble few trailing out
from their army hall. We are begin
ming to count them-to wonder who
dropped out since last they met. We
notice their tottering gate, their whit
ned locks, the thinness of their ranks,
and are sadly impressed that they are
in the scar and yellow leaf. We also
are more inclined to think of the few
too feeble to join the march, and to
sympathise with them and their
thoughts, knowing full well they dwell
in spirit with the few-no marching
now, but being carried to the cemetery
to wreath the graves of the soldier
dead. The end is near. More and more
we cherish the remnant left. Their
work is done. The fruits of it is seen
in the advancement of this glorious ma
ton from the EXTREMIST north to the
furthest south. And the grandest
feature of alias it must be to the vet
Grams who are left-is the fact that the
two contending forces, before the sun
of their life has set, have joined hands
in friendship across the bloody brink. -

death in our factories, while the monop-

The weather conditions of the past
few weeks in Vermont and in the coun-
try generally have not been the most
favorable for most of the crops which
the farmeds raise. The weather has,
however, been most favorable to Yer

important single crop, which is hay
The production of hay throughout the
state, it is agreed, will be beyond all
records of previous years. Dairymen
and stock raisers generally will be
pleased at this, for the price of this
commodity has been of late years al

no small measure to the extremely high
