The schools opened Tuesday with a

year. The number of out-of town pup

BREAD LOAF GUESTS MEET.
Informal Gathering to Honor the
Memory of the Late Joseph
BatteII

Battell.
BREAD LOAF INN. An informal meet
ing was held last week in the music
hall at Bread Loaf, for the purpose of
recalling the long and'successful history
of the Inn, and in memory of Mr..
Joseph Battell as its kindly and dis
tinguished host. The meeting was led
by Mr.. Archibald Howe of Cambridge,
Mass, who began by saying a few
words in tribute to Mr.. Battel and to
his gift for giving the stamp of the un-
common to the Inn.
Mr.. Howe recalled the long list of
noted names on the register, from Hor-
ace Bushnell of Hartford, who came to
Bread Loaf in 1866, to Chauncey Smith,
one of the great patent lawyers of this
country, and Samuel Longfellow, broth
er of the poet and writer of hymns.
Among those who visited the out-of-
the-way little Inn among the hills of
Vermont, were Daniel c. Gilman, pres
ident, at one time, of Johns Hopkins
University, and later of the Carnegie
Foundation President McCosh, the
gracious and noted head of Princeton
University several decades ago; Charles
Dudley Warner; generals and supreme
court judges but most distinguished of
all the men in this neighborhood was E.
j. Phelps, at one time American minis
ter to Great Britain.
Mr.. Howe then called on others pres
ent at the meeting to say few words
of reminiscence. Stories were told of
Mr.. Washburn, General Armstrong,
and William James, the philosopher,
and of Mrs. Robinson the much-loved
housekeeper, and the earliest of new
women. These memories made pict-
ure of the past, both interesting and
picturesque.
Mr.. Boyce was asked to speak, and
gave most interesting account of the
land how it was acquired, and how it is
now being improved. He read some of
the early deeds, amusingly vague and
unbusinesslike. In one of these Chris
topher Clark decided to Joseph Battell,
in 1888, ''all land in said Hancock ever
owned by Christopher Clark. And in
another deed "al land owned by Charles
Robbins not mortgaged' was given by
him to Mr.. Battell. The executors of
the estate are now engaged in unravel-
ling and establishing these vague limit
ations and finding certain boundaries.
Mr.. Boyce said that the replanting of
the forests had begun by setting out
last spring about ninety thousand trees.
Fortyfve thousand Norway spruces
were planted on the mountains, and
around Middlebury forty-fve thousand
white pines.
Mr.. BattelPs life was more bound up
in the Morgan horse than in any other
subject, Mr.. Boyce told the meeting,
and as whatever he went into he did
with enthusiasm, his studies of the
Morgan horse were extensive and i'm
portant. In order to more surely es-
tablish the breeding of the Morgan
horses he gave one of his farms in Mid.
dlebury to the government. Mr.. Boyce
told many interesting stories of Mr..
Battel's travels in search of Morgan
records, and showed how persistent anc
fortunate he was in this work
The meeting proved an interesting
one, especially to those who have alway:
held in affection the Inn and its origina
and individual characteristics.

DIR. G. D. SCOTT ON CHILDREN.

DR.. George Dow Scott of New York
city, a graduate of Middlebury College
in the class of 1895, read a paper before
the Harvard Medical society on School
Age, which contained an interesting
anecdote. "A little girl was asked to
describe the human body. She de-
scribed it as follows. The human body
consists of three parts; the head, chest
and stummick. The head contains the
eyes and the brain if any; the chest
contains the heart, lungs, and bit of
the liver, while the stummick contains
the vowels which are a, e, i, o, u and
sometimes W and y"

Delivered Today

The note, started on its way to Ber-
lin late last night, probably will be
delivered by Ambassador Gerard to-
morrow. 1t will be given out by the
state department for publication in
Saturday morning newspapers.
Everywhere in official quarters it
was pointed out today that the docu-
ment speaks the final word as to how
the United States government would
regard further transgressions Of its
rights. The general trend Of comment
was that the repetition of such a dis
aster as befell the Lusitania would
mean the converting of Congress by
President Wilson for consideration Of
the action to be taken.
If the status quo is maintained,
however. and there are indications
that German submarines in future
will conform to the rules Of interna-
tional law in saving the lives Of
Americans on unresisting merchant
men, President Wilson will take up
very soon the situation that has
arisen with Great Britain over inter-
ference with American commerce by
the Allies.
For several weeks a note has been
almost ready to be sent to the Brit
ism government. reiterating the pro-
test against deviations from interna-
tional law in the operation OF the or
der-in-council against commerce with
Germany. The note has not been sent
because President Wilson has been
IN willing to give the innressjon IN
Berlin that the controversy between
the United States and Germany
could be conditioned on the progress
Of the American governments nego-
tiations with other belligerents. It
became known today. however, that II
there IL IN indication that the new
American note to Germany 10 received
in q friendly spirit and there appears
no intention to violate neutral rights
on the high seas the new protest to
Great Britain win b dispatched prob-
ably within the next fortnight.

VIEWS EXPRESSED
AT WASHINGTON

Washington, July 22-The declara-
ton from Berlin calling attention TO
the German penal code authorizing
prosecution for treason of Germans
working in factories Of the United
States which produce war supplies
for enemy countries was received here
too late tonight to obtain authorita-
tive comment.
Officials who could be reached could
not see how ii would be possible for
prosecutions to result in the extradi-
ton of the accused
The only effect Of such prosecution,
it was believed. might be the slim
ulation of naturalization and the pre-
vention Of some Germans from re-
turning to their fatherland. 1t was
pointed out that the offences charged
probably would be held to be of a
political nature.
