scented to Walter l.. Hurd of the fresh
man class, by Col. Ira l.. Reeves. presi
dent of the university The medal Is
one annually awarded by Fl. c. Wilson
OF Lyndonville, in memory of his son,
to the member of the freshman class
showing the greatest all-around de-
velopment during the first semester.
The conditions governing the award
OF the handsome medal require that
the student receiving it have a pass
ing mark in all his subjects, and that
the members of the freshman class
alone decide on the student most de-
serving of the prize
Mr.. Hurd is the grandson of Mr..

ment and his application in his stud
les has given him the rank OF fourth
place in the freshman class. General

WORST GRIP YEAR IN DECADE
Bennington Severely IIit in Nation.
Wide Affiiction.

Bennington Severely Hit in Nation.
Wide Affliction.
The grip epidemic ceases to be sub
iect for thoughtless wit. Those who
have been detained at home for a. day
or a week may laugh at those under
the weather, but the fact stands that
this winter has been the worst season
for fatalities from the disease and its
more serious twin-ailment, pneu-
monia. of any for the past decade AL
most a funeral day has taken place
during the last few weeks.
The firm of !. Ed Walbridss re-
ports that from one cause or another
they have had more funerals during
the past month of January than at
any time within the memory of its es-
teemed proprietor and Mr.. Walbridge
has unfortunately been called upon to
attend to nearly $500 deaths and fun
erals since he began business in
North Bennington years ago.
A sober thought in bringing the fact
of this winters mortalities home lies
in the unusual circumstance of seven
elderly ladies being prepared for bur
ial by this firm during the week just
passed The majority of deaths were
from pneumonia and they occurred
among those past 55 years of age,
The two other undertakers in town,
NJ. j. Welch and H. p. Woodman have
also received their share of the un.
fortunate ortleals. Bennington is not
alone in its afiliction, however Re,
ports from other parts of the country
show that the increased mortalities OF
this over other years is almost nation
wide.

Secretary Of State Lansing Slated
To Be the Next President of u. S.

The next President Of the United States
will be Robert Lansing. of New York. the
present Secretary of State.
This" says the n. Y. Tribune, rs not
in the nature of wild political predic-
ton, nor is it the inauguration of a boom
for a Democratic dark horse 1t is
merely the statement OF a fact which,
barring the death or resignation of Sec
retary Lansing, is as certain as anything
can be.
Mr.. Lansing's term of office does not
depend upon the action of any political
convention; 1t is likewise irrespective of
any primary or direct election. In point of
fact, 1t dates back to January 10, 1886,
when Congress passed an act providing
that, in the event of the death, removal,
resignation or inability of both the Pres
ident and the Vice President of the
United States, the Secretary Of State
shall act as President.
March T. 1917, will fall upon Sunday.

EXPECTS ANNEXATION
OF PART OF MEXICO
Meyer London. Socialist Congressman,
Says Control by u. S. Is Inev-
liable and Desirable.
Close $3.50 P. M.

Representative Meyer London, Socialist,
of New York, yesterday declared in an
interview with a reporter for The Wash
nexation Of at least a portion OF Mexico
lngton Herald, that Intervention and an
nexation OF at least a portion of Mexico
by the United States was inevitable.
THE unofficial announcement Of the
republics Of South America that they
would not protest against action by the
United States to restore order in Mexico
by armed force II necessary removes the
last obstacle" he asserted. Continuing,
he said:
students of the Mexican situation
since American troops crossed the line in
pursuit of the bandit, Villa, have, for
some time been convinced that interven-
tion would inevitably follow.
Intervention will necessitate armed
rule and ultimate annexation for the
people will resist until subdued. I be-
lieve that at least a portion in the far
north of Mexico will be placed under the
American flag"
Representative London asserted that
he was in favor Of intervention under
existing circumstances.
