TO THE CIRCUS A-GoING.
Big Crowd Comes to Swell Barre's Own
Sensation Seekers Ranks.

Barre was the only spot on the maj
of the whole well-known universe to
day for some thousands Of the genus
circus lover, who came from the fou
points of the compass to see WheeleI
Bros show spread out over the green
sward at the Granite City driving park
To get here, the genus drafted vehicle;
| of every kind and color, from a one hoss
blackboard, which registered from East
Calais, and little penny packard with
a rumble seat to a double-hitch and an
eight passenger touring car that came
from almost anywhere. Before the
crowd got here, came w. Bros. and their
show over the Central Vermont railroad
from st. Adams. The usual contingent
of small boys, and some of the grown
ups, too, gathered in the freight yards
before dawn to see the circus folks lin
load.
Before most of the people who don't t
care fer the unloading feature of circus
day had bestirred themselves, the big
tents at the park had been pitched and
a gang Of heavy lifters were getting
things pat for the parade. As the fore
noon wore on, the coming and going
crowd on the asphalt grew larger. 1t
looked as though large number of hay
fields in the hinterland must have been
depleted. Steam cars and the electrics
helped to swell the gathering, and APP
pearanees pointed a good deal toward a
big mass meeting of fun seekers at the
park this afternoon.
1t was the old fashioned circus day
setting without any variations. Be-
tween the park and the main thorough
people. Near the gates was posted the

Bethel, July ll.-Parts of this town
were visited by fierce storm of wind
rain and lightning yesterday afternoon
Only a few drops of rain fell at the
village and there was little wind. AT
the quarries rain has seldom been known
to fall so fast. Nearer the village in
the same direction trees of considerable
size were blown over, in some cases
across the road.
Leon BagS Is and his sister were driv-

neither was injured.

My Dear Ashbrook:
1t looks like that we are not going
to get away to campaign any at home.
l hope your constituents will not
feel like turning you down on that ac-
count because It is what the boys call
n "ground-hog" case to stay here,
You have attended to your duties SO
capably, faithfully and industriously
that would dislike exceedingly to see
you left out OF the next House.

to his duties better than you attend
to yours.
or course have no desire to inter,
fere with politics In Ohio. but I think
this much Is due you and your con
gressional experience will make you
even better Congressman IN the next
congress than In this.
Abraham Lincoln said that It was o
poor policy to swap horses in a mid
die of n stream and | hope your con
stitutents will take that saying to

NIS'tISOu V'thlyD
1t is one of the extraordinary things
OF warfare that a big battle invariably
produces torrents of rain,
History contains innumerable in
stances, both on land and sea, and on
moro than one occasion the storm or
showers that followed an engagement
had no small influence upon the life
of nations.
We can hardly have better exam
pie than that recorded in 1888, when
England was threatened by the great
Spanish armada. A teg its encounter
with our own fleet i was, as we all
know, struck by a lieavy storm, which
completed the work of our own gal
liant seamen.
The soldiers who fought so bravely
under the leadership of Marlborough at
Blenhaim in the year 17O4 had to suffer
the misery of successive downpours af-
ter their brilliant victory.
Marlborough was anxious to follow
up his victory without delay, but his
men were so worn by the fatigue Of
the battle and the discomforts caused
by heavy rains and the contingencies
of warfare that he was unable to push
on for several days.
On June 16, 1916, the British defeat
ed the French at Quatre Bras and Ma
poleon worsted the willy Blucher at
Lighy. both within measurable dis
tance Of Waterloo. The heavy rains
which followed these engagements

lington. The victory would have been
gained in any case, but experts are OF
the opinion that the rain was an ally
Of some value.
During the early weeks Of the siege
Of Sebastopol, in 1854, the roar of can
non and explosion Of bombs was fol
lowed, day by day, by heavy down
pours of rain, until, as We read, our
men stood in the trenches knee-deer
in mud. A terrible gale broke over
the Black Sea and caused great dis
aster to our transports. and on the
heels of this tempest came "a heavy
stedy downfall of rain that brought
death to hundreds OF our gallant fel
lows.
In yet another instance the heavy
cannonading Of a siege brought in its
train disturbance of the elements
This was just prior to the fall of Ulev

clouds was turned to snow as 1t fell
and by increasing the suiferings of the
besieged helped to make Osman come

22,too,ooo A DAY
paris or. New York SUM

No war chroniclcd by history will
have devoured such huge sums of mon
ey as the present battle of the ma
tions. The minimum cost is estimat-
ed here by economists at S2,000,000,-
900. The figures given by military
writer's coincide and agree that about
$500, 900 men are under arms for land
warfare. To these must be added 340,-
600 seamen.
If the Balkin war can be taken as an
example, tie cost of each man mo-
bilized amounts to $3.50 day. This
gives about 922 100000 daily, or $685.
100000 monthly. This figure is, how
ever, considerably short of the mark,
because it doe rot take into account
the maintenance of the armies and
fleets, The German Reichstag author
lied extraordinary expenditure to the
extent of s1,2E0, 100000 to be obtained
by loan, and further sum of $780,
100000 to be drawn on the gold and
silver reserve of the empire.
1t is now well known that the tax of

sued by the Reichsbank over and
above it's reserve in metal has been
suppressed. The German Government
will therefore secure the loan required
by an issue of bank notes uncovered
by reserve of gold and silver This
issue reminds one of the assignats of
the first French revolution, of which a
few samples are kept as curious heir
looms in French families.
1t is said here that the Austrian army
on war footing costs the empire $4,.
100000 a day, but the Austrian Treas
ury was emptied by the mobilization
during the Balkan wars, which drained
the financial resources of the empire
for more than year, and 1t is hard to
see where the Austrian monarchy can
find the s120,O00,00O required to keep
the imperial and royal armies and
navy during the great war just opened.
The above figures are probably far
short of reality, and it is therefore
difficult to see how the central Europ-
can empires can support long and
arduOus war from the financial end
economic point of view.
