Monocles Becoming
 More Popular Than
 Ever Among English

London, June 27.-Since the begin ming of the war the cult of the single eyeglass has been spreading slowly put insignif1can 1cantly-'tmonocles are becom- ing fixed in the public eye" as one newspaper says There has never been a great demand for monocles, says a London optician, "but certainly we have sold more than usual during the last few months. The fashion seems to have declined in the army and our chief customers are men just over military age.
 ''Why do men wear monocles? Un- doubtedly the single eyeglass confers distinction on the right sort of man. hut scarcely one man in a thousand an sustain the distinction.
 ''To wear a monoc1e successfully a man must be perfectly dressed. A monocle and bagsy trousers are an i'm possible combination. Probably one ot the reasons why monocles are be- coming popular with nidd1e-s.ged men is the reluctance of the man Of forty to be ec1ipsed by the glamor of uni form.
 Undoubtedly in the right sort of man the rnonocle conveys a subtle dis tinction of superiority. It either em- phasizes or obscures personality; there is TO middle way"

VERMONT IS CALLED
 AUTOISTS' PARADISE

Vermont is universal in it's appeal to the motorist and sportsman. Fine lakes with fishing, boating and yacht ing, and many famous gold courses are located on this route. For the Etudent there are the many scenes link ed with our early history, and for the nature lover a variety of mountain, lake and valley scenery that more than satisfies the most exacting.
 Going to Boston from Waterbury and then again out Commonwealth Avenue to Brook1ine and Auburndale, the trip takes the tourist to Worcester, and from there through Palmer to Springfield. Then taking the West field Road the trail leads to Pittshe1d in the heart of the Berkshires.
 From there the road leads to North Adams ,Williamstown, thence crossing the state line to Bennington, situated almost on the New York State border and remarkable for a notable monu- ment, over 300 feet high, commence rating the battle of Bennington.
 Beyond Bennington the route leads to Manchester, famous New England summer resort, perched on a plateau 1000 feet high. Manchester boasts one of the finest summer golf links in the United States, and it's tournaments have an international reputation, while Mt. Equinox, 3.816 feet high, yields some magnificent views from it's sum- init.
 To the southeast rise GreyIock and StratLon Mountains, to the east, -Ascut- neJ and Monadnock, while northeast, Mts. Arlington and Shrewsbury are seen.

War and the Classics

A strange and unexpected result of the war has been to bring. about a revival of interest in the classics of literature. While civilians and stay at-homes are much given to the pe- front get quite enough of war from interest in the flood of war literature which iS constantly pouring from the presses bf Europe. During the early months of the conflict the demand from the front was for magazines and light novels. Since then the lit erary tastes of the soldiers have shown a marked change, and privates in large numbers, as well as officers, Germans as we'll as the English and French, are asking for more substan- tia1 literary pabulum- Handy vol
 umes' of Shakespeare are circulated in large numbers in the English trenches. and Byron, Shelley and oth- CT poets are widely read. Omar Khayyam has large following among both the French and English. In France more men are now reading Vo1taire, Montafgne, Rapelais, Rous- seau and CorneilIe than at any pre- vious period in the last century.
 Among the Teuton troops the greatest demand is for poetry and philosophy. The relative merits of the various sics are heatedly discussed by the he1meted soldiers of the Kaiser
 Nietzsche, as might be expected, is a, favorite, but the gloomy and pessi- mistic Schopenhauer also has 8 strong appeal. Of course, the light and
 frivolous and morally dubious novels are more widely read in all armies

This route presents grand and rugged scenery, the road round the lake being hewn out of the solid rock, practically a shelf on the side Of the mountain.

 The crew evidently had c0u- seuted tc die at the hands of the commander for they had been shot. Empty revolver shells told the s.- lent story. The commander then suicided. His body was found stretched across the bodies of three Of his men.
 Dr. IngIis stated that this was the only incident he had knowledge of whereby au entire crew had died rather than bo captured. Of the other submarines captured, the crews were all interned.
