CEMETERY ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Moneys of Association in Two Funds Advantages of Perpetual Care Lots Emphasized.

At the annual meeting of the West field Cemetery association held in the office of the secretary, Judge A. c. Bill, Tuesday evening, Treasurer Ma report, showing that the total receipts for work done at the cemetery during 1918 amounted to $3,911, and that the total expenses for the same period amounted to $3,922.24.
 The moneys of the association are in two funds-the general ana the per petual care
 In the general fund the balance on hand Jan. l. 1913, in savings banks. S5,I74.30; in a note of the town of I<illingly, $1,500, with interest earn ings of $256.IS, and interest received from lots sold during the year. S21S. the total of the general fund invested grew during the year to $1,SOS.4S. The total amount of the general fund at the date of the treasurer's report was SS,759.71.
 The perpetual care fund also showed an increase during the year. Jan. l, 1913, this fund amounted to $10,2I5. The addition of eight lots to the per petual -care group, now numbering more than 150 lots, increased this fund
 oy $500, and to a present total of $10,I75. This fund is all invested in savings banks and the interest earned is devoted to the care of lots. The ad- yantages of perpetual care of cemetery lots is constantly becoming more man. ifcst and is appealing to an always in ereaSing number of persons. Wherever relatives or friends of persons buried in perpetual care lots in WeStfield cemetery may be, the lots are always finely taken care of, and this will al ways be the case, even after many years have come and gone. The meth cd of perpetual care as it extends is making the cemetery more and more l beautiful
 A practice that has been taken up by number of persons is the includ- ing of a clause in their wills setting aside the sum of $l00. the interest from which is to be used for all time in caring for their cemetery lots.

DAYVILLE FIRE.
Miller Homestead Damaged, the Result
 of Defective Chimney.

The Miller homestead on Otis street in Dayville was considerably damaged by fire and it's contents. almost ruined by water early Tuesday morning. The alarm for the fire was given about 6.15. and the volunteer department and mill force of fireighters responded. The fire was due to a defective chim- ney and proved 8 somewhat difficult one to overcome. as the blaze ran along between partitions making it hard to fight. Constable Hosea Green and his family were the only occupants of the house. as the other apartment, occu- pied during some months of the year by Chauncey Miller, is closed for the winter. The loss on the building and some of the contents is partly covered by insurance. It is believed that the fire had been burning for several hours before it was discovered.

FRENCH OFFICERS
GERMANS TARGETS
Less Conspicuous Uni
form Urged - Famous
Cavalry Leader Killed.

Paris, Sept. 23.-The proportion OF
French officers killed or wounded in
the battles is so great, as compared
with the casualties among the pri-
Yates, that the question is being dis
cussed whether it would not be sd-
visable to modify officers uniforms
and make them more difficult to dis
tinguish from those of the men.
The Germans seem to pick out Off
GERS all the more easily, since the
French officers are said to be showing
great daring at the heads Of their COM
panies.
There have been many promotions
of general officers recently to fill va
cancies made through casualties.
The brilliant French cavalry leader,
General Bridoux, was killed in action
yesterday.
The weather continues excessively
cold for this season of the year, and
is causing much anxiety for the com
fort of the soldiers in the trenches and
camps. Associations are being formed
to hasten the manufacture of heavy
knit garments and sleeping sacks, SINH
lar to those used by Arctic explorers,
for use by the troops at the front.

FRENCH SOCIALISTS
CONDEMN KAISERISM

Bordeaux, Sept. 22.-The attitude of
the French Socialists toward the war
is defined in the newspaper La
France" by Socialist who is described
as zone of the highest authorities IN
Paris"
"Internationalism," he writes, never
meant the suppression of nationality,
hut an understanding between the ma
tions, which naturally presupposes
their existence. Socialists realize that
victory for Germany would be followed
by a rule of sabre and spurred heel in
Europe, while a triumph for France
would mean a German republic, re-
public in Bohemia. republic in Aus
t.ia, a republic in Hungary and an end
to European militarism. 1t would mean
peace assured and all roads to progress
opened.
"The war for US is something more
than a struggle for our sacred national
independence; it is the barricade on
which we tight for the progress Of hu-
manity. That is why we have aban-
doned everything for national defence"
