The First Vermont regiment has
been commanded by Civil war and
Spanish war veterans, but, so far as
we recall its colonel has never before
been a regular army officer. Col. Ira
L. Reeves, who is also president of
Norwich university, ought to be just
the kind of a man to put the regiment
in state of efficiency and prepared
ness.

The MeddIer
IF the coatfts you. pat Il on"

Lest the Reformer be accused of
treating the Twin State company un-
fairly The Meddler wishes to correct a
statement that appeared in recent
issue of this paper. The item in ques-
ton said that the company had no fuse
with which to repair blowout that
had thrown the American buildings in
TO darkness and that one had to be
supplied by local electrical eontrac-
tor. The facts of the matter are that
the Twin State company did have an
extra fuse of the proper voltage in
stock, but none of the employees of the
company who were in the office at the
time (including the manager) knew of
its existence, and it was not until the
outside contractor had been called up
on that the discovery was made.
Hence, while the situation was not so
bad as the Reformer s item would
make it appear, it was not wholly sat
isfactory, because as far as service to
patrons was concerned the company
! might as well have been without extra
! fuses as to have some and not know it
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-12-24

While in itself comparatively unim-
portant the foregoing incident serves
as a sidelight on the Twin State com
pany s general attitude toward the
public. It is hardly conceivable that
the employees of a corporation in the
habit of giving frst-class service would
be as ready as the Twin State en-
ployes apparently were to admit that
their concern had fallen down. One
cannot imagine such situation in
the case of the New England Tele-
phone company, for example. The
plain unvarnished fact of the matter is
that there is nothing about the policy
Of the Twin State company to indicate
that it is DESTROYS of giving any more
than just what it is obliged to in re-
turn for what it gets. This has been
the case ever since the control of the
company fell into the present owner
ship, and viii probably remain so until
dissatisfied public calls into use one
! of the numerous outstanding charters
for competing concern.

told the National Safety Congress to-
day that "A humane ideal transcending
that of the Socialists is now dominant
and progressive in all the great \meri-
can corporations.
The modern trend Mr. Campbell
said. "is toward the elimination of all
inequalities between the employee and
the employer. If there were no men
willing to rid along on other mems
work. II there were not So many shiik-
ers. If 1t were possible to get each man
in the employing and employed divisions
alike to give his best. then socialism
would be possible. and I should he one
of the first TO preach socialism.
1T is essential to the nation that the
friction between the two divisions be
eliminated. and the only barrier to the
realization of IA socialistic ideal by the
Socialist IL the Socialists themselves.
The definite aim OF great corpora
tons in this day Is to acquire the active
interest and cooperation of their men.
IN" class spirit has To he wiped out.
Men, TO do the best with the resources
of the country. must stand shoulder to
shoulder. the rich with the poor. and the
employer with his workers in every
issue that comes up.
In a continued discussion of safety
systems for workmen in all lines OF
trade the consensus at the National
Safety congress was that by forming
inspection committees among the work
men themselves and giving these COM
mittees the authority usually given TO
the bosses there would be the best
remedy Yet al hand for the elimination
of prcVentable accidents.
These safety committees. as they
are called. are an actutlity in the mid
die West. and they not only obtain bet
ter results in the object aimed at.
greater safety. but raise the morale Of
the workers themselves. it was declared.

of President Wilson, his father-in-law,
he does not wish the charge made
against him that he is in the fight par

it may injure the President to have a
member of his own family in his cab

Several business offers have been
made Mr. McAdoo, among which is the
presidency of one of the largest bank
ing institutions of New York. His
predecessors, Secretary Shaw and Sec

opportunities and have become rich
Secretary McAdoo could be the gov

board if he would accept. The term
of Mr.. Hamlin, the present governor,
expires the first of the year, and Mr.

VESSEL IS SHflIfD BY GERMAN CRAFT

VESSEL IS SHflItD BY GERMAN CRAFT

New York - The Cunard liner Or
duna, bound from Liverpool to New
York with 227 passengers, including
% Americans, was attacked without
warning, it was learned on her arrival
here Sunday, by German submarine
on the morning of July 9.
Twenty miles from the grave of the
Lusitania, off Oldhead of Kinsale, the
Orduna escaped the Lusitania's fate by
half a second of time or 10 feet of
space, the German torpedo churning
the water that distance behind the
liners rudder. Then the Orduna sped
away. She was followed by the sub
marine, which rose to the surface,
manned gun on her deck and shelled
the fleeing steamer.
The attack was at 10 minutes to
O'Clock in the morning, when all but a
few of her passengers lay sleeping in
their berths. Aroused by stewards,
the passengers dressed hurriedly and
went to the upper deck. where they
put on life belts and took their places
at the lifeboats. They heard the
scream of the shells and saw the ocean
spit up columns of water where the
shells struck.
When the. fire grew hot, they were
ordered, for their own protection, to
the next deck below.
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the assailant. Through
marine glasses the passengers watched
the dark splotch on the waters surface
astern. They saw the low-lying Ger.
man warship coming on with bone il
her teeth, but the Orduna's flight was
faster than the pursuit and after sever
shots had been fired without effect, the
submarine gave up the chase.
A wireless call for help was sent Out
by the Orduna when the torpedo wa
seen. She was then 81 miles south o.
Queenstown. The reply, Captain Tay
lor says in his official report, was tina
help would be given within an hour
1t was four hours before the first Brit
ish vessel, an armored yacht, tn
Jeanette, appeared.
