When the Fighting Men
Pay Their New Years
Call to the President

4 KMY officers. in their best bibs
~ and fuckers. are very much In
evidence in the celebration Of
New Years day in Washing
ton. One of the features Of the begin
ming Of new year in the national cap
ital. in fact. is the formal visit of
ceremony which the high officers of
the army and navy pay to their COM
mander in chief, who is the president
OF the United States.
Unlike the chief executives of some
Of the Central and South American
countries. who are also titular heads
of their nations fighting forces land
In many cases actual warriors as welD.
the president of the United States does
not invest his dignity in gold lace and
braid and all the other trappings OF
war. No epaulets, army or naval,
crown the shoulders on which rest the
burdens of state. Even when the pres
ident is military man by training. as
have been several Of our chief .execu-
tives. be does not garb himself in a
uniform. In fact. no uniform has been
designed for him, and it is q question
what sort of clothes he would wear If
he were to take the field or tread the
quarterback.
However, all this has nothing to do
with New Years day in Washington.
What has great deal to do with it.
however. is the fact that the men of
the army and navy get out their shin
lest gold lace and their swords Of state
and their cooked hats when they pay
their ceremonial visit to the president
at the opening of new year. They
vie in brilliance with the diplomatic
officers of foreign governments, who
are received by the president In the
beautiful White House at about the
same time.
All of the high officers of the army
and navy who are in residence In
Washington or are there for the day
and are not incapacitated by illness
take part in the presidents reception

the gray headed men in front lead the

formal and not at all suggestive of the

officers would wish to stop for such
display. since the air in Washington

chilly and nipping.

Barre Motorists Nearly Hit By Freight

BY remarkable presence Of mind and
quick action, Eugene A. Prindle of this
city averted serious consequences to him

Mortified yesterday afternoon when he
started to drive the machine across the
Central Vermont tracks near the station
end found a backing freight train bear.
ing down upon them and only short
distance away. There was not time 10
pass over the crossing. nor could he bring
the machine 70 halt soon enough 20
avoid collision, 50 by quick twist of
the steering wheel he swung the auto
southwark with the train and thus pre-
vented a crash. The automobile bumped
along over several tracks before il could
be stopped.
With Mr.. Prindle on the front seat wa
J. y. Kennedy and on the rear seat were
Mrs. Prindle. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. :.
Matson. All the women in the party
were thrown out and severely bruised.

ment. They were an rather sore to-day
and were content 10 remain a. still as
possible.
M. Prindle states that the train con.
tanned seven cars and was being moved
quite rapidly. He SAYS that his chance
to see the track Was cut of hv some
freight cars standing on another track
near the crossing. There was no hagman.
