Mid-winter Meeting of the Phi
Beta Kappa Society.

On Friday evening last the local chap
ter of Phi Beta Kappa innovated the
practice of holding a meeting in the
middle of the year, anticipatory of the
regular annual meeting in June. Six
members of the senior class were initi-
ated before large audience in the Nc
Cullough gymnasium. The names of
the six are Harold Wallace Abbott,
Helena Belle Carpenter, Howe Hend-
rick Cassavant, Ruth Adele Noyes,
Florine Margaret Parker, John Charles
Eliot Voss. They were chosen from
among those whose scholarship has been
highest.
The ceremony Of initiation was simple
and impressive, and during it some ff.
teen members of the society, residents
of the town, sat upon the stage and
were interested spectators Of proceed
ings. After the initiation, President
Meiklejohn of Amherst college delivered
a scholarly and thoughtful address on
"1he Liberal College" in which he
maintained that the best thing college
can give its students is the power of
clear thinking and a knowledge of the
numerous conflicts of opposing opinions
of which the ancient and modern world
has been, or is, the scene.
The promoters of this midyear meet
ing intend it to make the society and
its high literary and moral ideals prom
inent in the minds of the undergraduate
body.

HARRISON w. BILLINGS.

Harrison Willard Billings passed from
this life Saturday morning, March 28,
1914, at his late home in Cornwall,
about two miles west of this village,
after an illness of only eleven days.
His suffering which was most intense,
was borne with extreme bravery and
fortitude. During his sickness his voice
was often heard in prayer and although
it seemed he had everything to live for,
yet he said Goods will be DONE"
He was born September II, 1889, and
was the Oldest son of Ransom and Nellie
Mills Billings. His boyhood days were
passed with his parents on Munger
street. He received his education at
Munger street school, Middlebury High
school, and Burlington Agricultural
school.
October II, 1912, he was married to
Ruth E. Foote of Cornwall, the loving
and devoted wife who survives him and
deeply mourns his early and sudden
death. He is also survived by young
son, Raymond Leslie, father and
mother, two sisters and one brother and
three aged grandparents who feel their
loss to be imparable.
Naturally quiet and unassuming, he
was loved and respected by all who
knew him and a large circle of friends
mourn his death and deeply sympathize
with the bereaved relatives. At the
end of a short life he left a monument
on which may be inscribed, a devoted
husband, loving father, an afectionate
son, kind brother, a thoughtful grand
son, noble and upright man.
Tuesday morning a prayer service was
held at his late home and at two O. clock
the same day funeral services were held
at the home of his parents on Munger
street. Leslie Foote of Cornwall,
Chauncey Foote of Schenectady, N. Y,
Bernie Briggs of Leicester and Elmer
Fem of this town acted as bearers and
burial was in the family lot in Munger
street cemetery.
The large attendance of relatives and
friends bore witness of the high esteem
in which the deceased was held, and the
beautiful floral offerings spoke silently
of the love and grief of friends, both
present and absent Rev. Richard B.
Esten, pastor of the Baptist church,
spoke words of consolation and hope.

Fire in Milton.

Milton, March 81. The Powell opera
house and the old Burgess store, occupied
by H. l.. Powell as a general store,
were totally destroyed by fire this
morning with nearly their entire con-
tents.
The opera house building was occu-
pied by Samuel Barnes as a provision
market in the basement, by John Nc
Gee as pool room, j. A. Donahue as
dental rooms, the village of Milton as a
court room, containing a steel Jail cage,
and by the Pulp Mill Workers associa-
tion as lodge room on the first floor.
The upper part was used as a lodge
room by the Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea. The Burgess store was a land
mark of the town. 1t was entirely oc-
cupied by Mr.. Powell, who bought out
the stock of the late F. +. Cormia. The
buildings were owned by the Powell
family, who carried insurance on the
opera house of S5300 and on the store of
$500. Nothing was saved from the
opera house by any of the occupants,
who all carried insurance. H. L. Powell
was insured for $4,000 in the Phelps
agency, which will half cover the loss.
Only few goods from the rear of the
store could be saved. 1t is a mystery
how the fire caught

vanno Colombo, brothers, were living
the life of prosperous landed farmers in
the quaint town of Pozzuli, Italy, when
confronted yesterday by Italian officers
bearing warrants for their arrest on the
charge of numbering Henry Ward of
New Haven on December 9, 1912. A
cablegram received today announces
that the men are in custody for the
staying of the aged stranger in far-off
America, who aroused their cupidity
and murderous design by displaying a
large sum of money.
States Attorney Frank w. Tutt!e
announced this afternoon that the State
is satisfied that the murderer or mur-
derers of Henry Ward of New Haven
have been apprehended and said that
he has no doubt as to the identity of the
men arrested for the crime yesterday in
Italy.
He said that the Colombo brothers
had prior to the murder of Mr.. Ward,
worked at various points on the Rutland
railroad as section employees. They
worked for time at New Haven juno

Colombo brothers were without work
and had no money. 1t has been learned
that they left Burlington just previous
to the murder and returned to that city
Just after the body of Mr. Ward was
found with his throat cut Almost i'm
mediately after the murder the Colom-
bos left for Italy. 1t was found short
time ago that the brothers had bought
land soon after arriving in Italy, paying
$1,000 for it. Detectives found where
the Colombos had expended about $1,000

ALLEGED GERMAN VANDALISM

4 "A VI.
BORDEAUX, Sept. ga dispatch
from Rome says that, when informed
of the destruction of the Cathedral of
Rheims, Pope Benedict XIV. said he
could not believe it possible in such
a civilized epoch as the twentieth
century to be plunged back to the
time of Atilla."
The POntiff requested Cardinal Fer.
rata to request Cardinal Annette
Archbishop of Paris, for full particu-
lars, as kilograms for Rheims are not
accepted.
The magnificent set of ancient tap
estries which hung in the Cathedral
of Rheims was removed before the
bombardment, by officials from the
office of the Under Secretary of Fine
Arts and is now in a place of safety.
A detailed account of the German
bombardment of Rheims has become
available here.
! 1t relates that the cannonading of
the French city lasted for a fortnight
The German are said to have used
petroleum shells and the city was set
afire in many places. Whole blocks
of houses have been reduced to heaps
of smoking ruins. The part of the
population which was unable or I'm.
willing to leave the city was without
food for several days. The people
took shelter in cellars. A certain
number of them were injured, but
little or no loss of life has been re-
ported.
The French Foreign Office has for
warded to neutral governments pro
test against the German lombard
ment of the Cathedral at Rheims
couched in the following terms:
without being able to invoke even
the appearance of military necessity
and for the mere pleasure of destruc
tion, German troops have subjected
the Cathedral of Rheims to system
attic and furious bombardment. Al
this hour the famous Basilica is but
a heap of ruins.
1T is the duty of the government Of
the republic to denounce this revolt
. ing act of vandalism which, in giving
over to flames this sanctuaryOf his
tory, deprives humanity of an incom
parable portion of it's historic patri
mony."

statement coming from him, follows:
1.-THE news evidently originated
from Paris and Antwerp that Field
Marshall Won Der Coltz issued proc
lamation that Germany intended to
evacuate Brussels and that they had
offered separate peace to Belgium, is

| Likewise there is no truth in the

BELGIUM REPLIES
TO DECLARATION
MADE BY AUSTRIA
Persons and Property Safe
guarded by the Belgian
Governm en- nt-Had No
Quarrel With Austrians.

Antwerp, Aug s1.-The following Of
fetal statement was made public here
today:
The Belgian government replying
under date of Aug. 20, to the Austro-
Hungarian declaration of war, and
the representations made at this same
time declares as follows:
Belgium always has maintained
friendly relations with all Its neigh
bors, and had fulfilled the duty I'M
posed by neutrality. If she could not
accept the proposals of the Germans,
it Is because they had for their object
the violation of an engagement which
was condition of the creation of the
kingdom. Belgium does not think that
any people, however weak, could mis-
take their duty and sacrifice their honor
by inclining before force"
After setting forth that the Belgian
government had waited until its terri
tory had been invaded before calling on
France and Great Britain, the statement
declares:
belgium denies formally the asser-
ton that Austrian subjects have been
subjected to treatment contrary to the
most primitive requirements of human
ity. The Belgian government at the
outset gave the strictest orders for
the safeguarding of the persons and
property of the Austrian subjects"
