eral Cabinet designations.

London, Dec. 29.-Conscription may
prove the rock on which the Asquith
ministry will finally be wrecked, the
press intimates.
The cabinet council after what is
described as a heated session, ad-
journed with the CONSUMPTION question
unsettled.
The cabinet is reported badly split
on this problem. The Daily Mail says
that Andrew Bonar Law, secretary for
the colonies, and Lord Kitchener, the
war minister, have not definitely align
ed themselves, while A J. Balfour first
lord of the admiralty, Is supported by
a majority of the ministers in oppos-
ing CONSUMPTION.
But David Lloyd-George, The Mar
quis Of Lansdowne. Earl Curzon, Sir
Frederick Smith, J. Austin Chamber
lain, Walter Hume Long and the Earl
of Selbourne advocate immediate COM
pulsion.
LioydGeorge May Resign.
Lloyd-George is reported to have
threatened to resign unless Premier
Asquith strictly adheres to his pledge
to apply immediate compulsion to un-
married "slackers."
A cabinet crisis or general election
are predicted by most of the news
papers. Lloyd-George is expected to
become prime minister II Asquith's
resignation is forced.
The Morning Post, equally with the
Times and the Daily Mail-all con-
scriptionist papers-sees the possibil-
ity Of several cabinet designations or
the other alternative, a general cleo
ton.

BRADSTREET'S
VERMONT
REPORT

Bradstreet' sHBurlington, VT, Of
flee reports the returns for the week
from machine manufacturing inter-
ests state additional orders for war
material have been received Eby the
State industries. Work was gener-
ally resumed at the granite plants
the past week and at the close of the
week while the full force of men had
not been engaged, workmen were
being given employment as they ap-
ply. As it is to be expected the
amount of work on hand among the
manufacturers in this line is limited.
Owing to the lateness OF the resump-
tion of work but little can be ex-
pected in the way of memorial day
work. In a few instances consider
able work is reported on hand and
the wholesale dealers thave been
active in placing orders. The de-
mand at the granite. quarries is
heavy as at the time of closing man.
ufacturers had worked up greater
part and in some instances all of
their rough stock. The so-called
foreign orders received at the quar-
ries have come in literally. Some
improvement is noted in the volume
of business received at the scale
manufacturing plants. Repor
from Caledonia county indicate a
liberal amount of building work in
process. Dealers in grain report q
fairly lgood volume Of business in
the rural sections but the variance
in price has affected the market tc
some extent. The rains of the past
week have benefited the grass crop
which is above the average for the
period. Weather. conditions have
favored, if anything late spring buy
ing on the part of the individual,
while the volume of business as s
whole is below normal, it has beer
better than was expected. Collec
tions generally remain below the
average. While no commercial
bankruptcies were reported for the
week there was one failure.

SPENT A
PLEASANT Time
ON MT. BLUFF

Monday last, the pupils of the
Convent School, met in their Recep-
ton Hall, to offer their respectful
wishes to Rev. Father Trottier on the
occasion of his Feast Day.
The following short program was
we'll carried out: .......
Entree, Trio. ...... Spring Flowers

Misses Effie Soutiere, Ernestine
Michaud
Rev. Father Trottier thanked the
children in few we'll chosen words
and granted them holiday for the
morrow, so last Tuesdsy May 25th,
was a red-letter day for the pupils
of the Parochial School.
The three higher grades ascended
Mt. Bluff for a days outing. Leav-
ing the Convent at about 9:20, they
reached the mountain top at Ills,
rather tired but light-hearted and
happy at the thought of the good
time yet before them. The boys at
once set to work to build a fire in
the rocks, over which potatoes were
roasted for the grand dinner which
was all the more enjoyed as the ap-
petites were keen.
Some of the pupils brought
cameras and many snapshots were
taken which shall ever remain glad
souvenirs of the. day.
Many amusing incidents occurred
during the day. A group of botan-
lists started out in search of speci-
mems for their nature study books,
and when ready to return, to the
Notch. found that they We're lost in
the woods. After two hours tramp
ing they found themselves on an ad-
joining peak, so near but yet so far
from their companions. They never
theless reached them and counted
many new flowers ir their collection,
namely, jack-in-the-pulpit, dwarf
ginseng, bunchbelIy, wake-robin,
painted trillium, anemone, hepatica,
adder's tongue ,cinquefoil, Solomon s
seal and Dutchman's breeches.
Supper over, the crowd started a
little after five for the descent of
the mountain. Reaching the foot of
it they all gladly stopped for a rest,
telling stories, singing, climbing
trees, to their hearts content; then
resumed their tramp. All arrived
home rather fatigued after their
long jaunt but we'll satisfied with
their pleasant excursion.
Before dislersing, Miss Viviar
Rooney was voted the champion
climber.

is endeavoring to gather up and as
sist in preserving the early matters
connected with the first settlement
of Brunswick, which are 80 fast be-
coming lost.
For religious instruction the in
habitants have been almost entirely
limited to the Bible, and the preach
ing of the Methodist itinerancy.
Classes were early formed by that
church, but no house of worship was
erected, and but one clergyman was
ever located in the township.
BENJAMIN BROWN,
born in Wellfeet, Mas, was bred q
sailor, ,and for some years command
ed merchantmen, and visited differ
ent foreign ports; but becoming a
convert to the Methodist tenets, he
left the sea, and became a travelling
preacher. After delivering his mes
sage Qike Jonah as he often remark
ed)in 1926 he purchased the farm
and mills formerly occupied by Ithiel
Cargill, rebuilt the mills, and settled
among this people. He remained in
town, occasionally preaching to the
people, until 1854, when he disposed
of his estate, and left the country.
This town furnished three soldiers
for the war of 1912, their names
were Martin Webster, Elisha Web
ster and Henry D. Schoff. Martin
resides now in the state of Illinois,
Elisha died in Brunswick (where he
had always lived), Dec. 31st, 1861
and Henry D. still resides in this
town.
Four young men have gone from
this town to help suppress the rebel
lion of 1861, (this history was writer
early in 1861, namely, Adna Schoff

SPEEDING AUTOISTS
SHOULD Be
MADE To PAY

The following is taken from the
Burlington Free Press and will ap-
ply just as we'll to this locality:
Apparently nothing but the vigor-
Gus prosecution of those who violate
the speed laws will serve to stop the
numerous accidents growing from
careless driving of automobiles and
reckless riding of bicycles. The ex-
cuse made for the fast driving up
hill is that it is necessary to make
the ascent, but this is not so. The
second speed is provided especially
for such use, and the disuse of that
speed has grown out of the rivalry
as to which make of car can best
make the steepest hills on the high
speed.
There is absolutely no excuse for
the reckless speed often indulged in
by cars coming down-hill to the risk
of all people proceeding north and
south, as we'll as to the occupants of
the speeding autos themselves, es-
pecially as at many corners cars can
not be seen from either direction
until the crossing is reached.
A host of people also drive cars
past street corners on the level at q
pace which makes it almost impos-
sible for those passing along cross
streets to dodge them.
There is also growing carelessness
about tie sounding of horns.
If it is is necessary to put offend
ing chauffeurs in Jail in order to
bring drivers of automobiles to their
senses, the sooner it is done the more
lives will be saved.

One Out Of Every Thirty

Some two weeks ago IS automo-
biles had been registered from the
town of Lyndon and it is known that
several have since sent in registra-
ton blanks, SO there is little doubt
that the town has at least 100 ma
chimes, or about one for every 80
men, women and children in town.
East Burke has registered 80 ma
chimes and West Burke about the
same number.
