a Romantic Feat of Colonel Edwin
Harman.

We had many gallant officers and
privates volunteering from Tazewell
and who served in this long and
bloody war, many of them performing
deeds of valor and heroism, that are
well nigh forgotten;-fo these
great soldiers lived and fought in an
age and at time when daring deeds
were hidden in the glamour of uni
versal manhood and heroism. One of
these heroic deeds / wish to relate,
performed by as gallant soul as ever
bore the brunt of battle and who
lost his youthful and promising life
in bloody struggle within cannon
sound of his native home. / can tell
you now that the deed which | wish
to record, and which so far as | know,
has never been recorded, was not one
of courage, but heroic effort to save

INTERESTING LECTURE
On 1.-THE Irish Question" Follows Sue
cesSful Supper at North Church.

Following the chicken pie dinner
served by the ladies at the North Con-
gregational church Friday evening
Shane Leslie delivered an address
upon 1.-The Irish Question"
Mr.. Leslie gave an intensive re-
view of the subject starting with the
early causes which lead up to the
Irish question of today. The subject
was Interestingly presented by one
who is closely in touch with the pres
ent day situation. Among other
things, Mr.. Leslie spoke in part As
follows: THE Irish question Is the
oldest political question in Europe,
going back to the Celtic question up
on which western Christendom was
founded.
THE Celt and the Roman were an
tagonists, as later the Celt and the
Teuton, who fought for the Rhine,
and Alsace Lorraine was as then dis
putable territory between Celtic
France and the Germanic tribes.
ireland, remaining outside the Ro-
man Empire, carried on the Celtic
feud against England which as Anglo
Saxon was Teutonic. Hence the dis
astrous 700 years of Irish history with
its invasions and absorptions of the
invaders, but eventual failures to OBJ
tain political settlement. Ireland was
inhabited by three races, so called,

lish and the degenerate English"
The feud carried over into modern
politics. created the Irish question OF
today, which is complicated rather
than softened by events In modern
history"

of rural schools could be obtained.
Vermont is now able to claim qualih
ed supervision for each school within
its borders. The importance of this
supervision can scarcely be overes
timated. Through the wise provi
sions that safeguard the interests Oh
the superintendent the state has been
able to secure a group of super
visors who rank second to none in
this country. During even the short
time that many of them have been
in their present fields they have won
a place for themselves in the com.
munity life. Even the rumor of a
change of superintendents is often
sufficient cause to bring to the state
office urgent requests that if possible
we retain the services of the super
intendent concerned. Viewing the
history of supervision in this state 1
cannot but believe that the citizens
of Vermont have great faith in the
efficiency of school supervision. l
feel sure that the men and women
who have been entrusted with this
service will justify the confidence
placed in them.
Schools for the Children
1 cannot leave this subject with
out some reference to the boys and
girls for whom the schools exist. IN
some places there have been oppor-
tunities for children to show their
interest in the welfare of the school,
by intelligent assistance in improve
ments. The results have been most
gratifying. / am everywhere inn

ing pupil is disappearing and in his
place we have a child who respects

half. 1 have had the privilege of
visiting a large number of schools
The uniform courtesy which the boys
and girls have manifested and their
very evident ambition to do their best
stand as some of the strongest argl-
ments in favor of offering them every
educational opportunity within the
power of the state.
I have tried in the moments at my
disposal to present for your consid-

features of education in this state

prevented me from yielding to it.

Rally Sunday at the North Church.

Sunday was observed as Broth
erhood day at the morning service
and rally day in the Sunday school
and the theme of the morning ad-
dress was explanatory of the part the
Congregational church proposes to
take in the tercentenary celebration
of the landing of the Pilgrims in 1920.
The music for the morning service
was furnished by a mems chorus and
the Brotherhood occupied seats to-
gether in the center of the church.
At the Sunday school service all de-
partments of the school assembled at
the opening exercises and a printed
exercise was used. Reports were also
given from the various departments of
the school and from individual class
es. At the evening service the pas
tor gave an illustrated lecture on the
history of the church, particularly as
1t related to its beginnings and the
coming to this country Of the Pill
grims.

 BY CLEVER TRICK

GENEVA, Switzerland, Jan. 1S.- Two French ayiators, Sergeant Geor. ges Madon and Corporal Rene chate. lain. who were interned at Zurich, es. capped in a sensational manner to Evlan, on the French side of Lake Geneva
 The two ayIators obtained permis- sion to take walk. under guard of a soldier of the Swiss landstrum by the name of Wuest. in the vicinity of the place where they were intern ed. Accordingly they started out accompanied by a fox terrier, which later played a part !n their escape.
 The guard, not suspecting any ruse. led them to O copse. There, according to a prearranged plan, Charles Beck, a French Territorial soldier on sick leave, whose acquaintance the aviator had made, awaited In civilian clothes with an automobile.
 Wuest was stunned. bound and bun. died into the car. The others jumped Tn after him and speeded to Ouchey, on Lake Geneva. by way of Berne and Friburg. At Ouchy they embarked in and auto boat previously hired by Beck and sailed off under the eyes of a Swiss gendarme, who made no attempt to stop them. the presence of the fox terrier leading him to believe that the men in the boat were civil fans.
