VERMONT LOOKS GOOD.
To Boys of Co. c Who Spent Summer at
Eagle Pass.

Burlington. Sept. 21.-Seventy men OF
C company, lst Vermont regiment OF in
fantrv and the attached sanitary troops
of the Vermont National Guard, COM
manded by Second Lieutenant r. p Bur-
rage, L. Y. NJ, II, arrived yesterday at
Fort Ethan Allen from Eagle Pass, Tex.
All of the men, with the exception OF
three or four preparatory school stu
dents, are students at the University OF
Vermont. They were tired and travel
stained, having left their border station
last Friday evening, but very happy and
full to the brim with stories OF their eX-
periences.
The returned guardsmen will occupy
the barracks of one of the machine
troops, until they are mustered out and
lust when that will be nobody seems able
to tell. The first information was that
the men would be allowed to visit their
homes on furlough until the arrival OF
the balance of the Vermont National
Guard troops on Sunday, bus it now
seems probable that they will remain at
the fort and be mustered out with the
balance of the regiment.
Discharge from the federal service
merely relieves the miltiamen from tur-
ther service as government troops, but
leaves them subject to call by the state
until their enlistment term as state mill
tiamen has expired.
DIR. Guy Potter Benton, president OF
the University of Vermont, with several
members of the university faculty, ar
rived at the fort soon after the boys de-
trained and gave them hearty welcome.
A large number of Burlington people and
MANY friends of the student soldiers
from neighboring towns also visited the
post yesterday. =,
While the Vermont gusrdsmen are all
i'm the best of health and spirits, there
can be no doubt but that they are gem
uinelv glad to be home. Most of them
agree that they have had enough OF
Texas. and seen enough of Mexico dur
ing the time they guarded the border to
last them lifetime. There were 10000
troops entrenched at Eagle Pass, 5000 OF
whom were regulars, infantry. cavalry
and field artillery and the record Of the
Vermont troops was second to none.

ATTACKED ALL DAY.
But Germans Were Thrown Back BY the
French.

London, Sept. 2l.-In an effort to re-
trieve in part their lost territory, the
Germans Wednesday, despite bad wealth
er, made violent counterattacks against
the French over a three mile front in the
region of the Priez farm and Bouchaves-
mes, north of the Somme.
In mass formation the Teutons threw
attack after attack along the line from
0 o'clock in the morning until dark, but
at the end of the day the French every
where were holding their positions, ac-
cording to Paris, and the battlefield at
points was covered with German dead.
The Germans did penetrate the north
east part of the village of Bouchaves-
mes. but here the French met them with
the bayonet and dislodged them. -Four
assaults at the Priez farm in which the
Germans came on in waves were repulsed
bv the French. whose observers assert
that the Germans at last withdrew IN
disorder, leaving many dead.

assistance of the party. who were, tor
tunately, not badly hurt.
Mrs. Bressette was injured about the
hips and back and was considerably
bruised, and Mr. Bressette was hurt
about the shoulders. He attributes ms

ing the removal of the car as he does
to the overturning of it. The boy was
uninjured.

the home of Mrs. Bressette's mother
their original destination, and Mr., Bres-
settle is able to be out of doors to-day,

Audrey Munson, the famous artist 's

the "American Venus" says that every
woman, young and old, can obtain a
perfect figure by following few sim.
pie forms of exercise.
"Eyery woman,'' Miss Munson re.
Gently declared, "should exercise twice
each day-onee on rising in the morn.
ing and again before retiring. Exercise
means health and with perfect health
any woman can achieve a good figure.
There are any number of exercises that
can be followed--but one must keep at
il, make it just as much of the day s
routine as dressing, eating and sleep

Miss Munson will be seen at We

ed in but will follow the low pursuits
of the "back to the farm" movement
Sam was coming five years old when
he entered the Salem fire department
and for two years pulled the hose
wagon to some of Salem's most spec
tacular blazes. He was then trans.
ferred to the big engine asd hauled
I this apparatus to fires until the com
ing of the auto engines when ne was
transferred to hte street department.
Years of planting his galloping hoofs
on toe Davements, however, proved too
much for Sam s feet and also the com.
mon ailment of rheumatism which at
tacks man and beast alike in this coun.
try, stiffened up Sam s shoulders and
finally he was unable to hold job on
even the street department.
Sam will be 16 years old next
spring and has several years of good
service in him if he can find soft
ground to put his feet on and soft
feed to put his teeth in, and will
doubtless adapt himself to his rural
environments. An effort was made to
sell him last year but some members
of the council were opposed to selling
an old fire horse who had become worn
out in the service of the city but at the
last meeting of the city council it was
decided to sell cold Sam" to farm.
