BY their tremendous drive on the
Ancre river, the British are refuting the
German statement that the entente Of.
fensive on the western front has shot its
bolt and that the German defenses are SO
strong that the allies cannot break
through. incidentally, the British are
proving that they are not too proud to
fight when the right time comes. Indeed
at the present time the British are doing
far more to maintain the entente allies
prestige than any other of the foes
aligned against Germany. Temporarily
the French are resting, as are most Of
her allies on the eastern front.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Takes Pride in Chelsea.

Editor, Barre Times: During my re.
cent visit in Chelsea, | noted with a
proper pride in my former dwelling place
one especially beautiful spot. / refer to
the grounds leading to the old grave
yard and lovers lane" After visiting
the wonders of the West, | did not think
that my heart could be moved so much
by little bit of Vermont scenery.
| stood upon the little bridge leading
across the stream and watched the crys-
tai water bubbling over its rocky bed.
| turned and looked through the beauti-
full trees to the place where the first set
tiers were laid at rest and thought how
remarkable ii should be that such care
should be given the place where our fore.
fathers are sleeping. | thought, too OF
how wonderful it was that the place
around which they were laid was the
site OF the first settlement in town. /
wished that it might come to the knowl
edge of those patriarchs how beautifully
and tenderly their last homes were cared
for here by members of the third and
fourth generation, perhaps. | thought
of the new cemetery, with its monu
ments and stones, but those of this dear
old graveyard are the ones that hold the
attraction for me.
From there we passed on to "lovers'
lane" a walk between beautiful, we'll
trimmed trees that is enough to inspire
a poet, and well it might, for here for
a century lovers have walked and told
their hearts desires
My heart swells with gratitude for all
this thoughtful care and | am sure there
are many who, if they could see it as
did, would wish to thank you too

The fall of snow Just at this time was
opportune in one respect at least, because
the snow viii have tendency to safe
guard the lives of the hundreds of hunt
ers who went into the woods this morn
ing in quest of deer. The un-colored
appearance of the uncovered land in au-
tumn makes it difficult to distinguish
objects at any considerable distance, the
carpet of leaves in particular lending
that effect; so there is always serious
hazard to human beings roaming about.
On the other hand, the covering of snow
makes a background, against which OBJ
jects stand out clearly and for long dis
tances; and hence there is far less dan
ger OF persons being taken for deer. Yer
mont fields and forests are now covered
with this mantle of white, and the tend
ency will be toward reducing the careless
mistakes of some previous years during
Nermont's deer hunting season. A per
son moving through the thicket or the
forest will scarcely resemble a deer, even
to the excited imagination of the mex
perieneed hunter; and there ought, there
fore, to be far greater safety for human
beings.

The first step that President Wilson
can take to encourage Americans of all
political beliefs to rally to the common
good" will be to direct the federal de-
partment of justice to investigate the al
legged use of money in the recent presi-
Dental election on both sides of the po-
litical fence, not alone on the Republican.
Of course, it is possible that all the cor
ruption, all the dirty politics, all the
venality is chargeable to the Republican
party and that the Democratic party is
as pure as the driven snow; but it is not
probable. Therefore, if charges arise
against either party, or any party, let
the federal department Of justice inves-
tigate without fear or favor of any man.

DESIRE NEW HOME FOR
YOUNG Otl|kQUtNTS
Juvenile Protective Association Seek
ing Educational Facilities
For Boys.

In order that proper care may be
taken of young delinquents, the Juve-
nile Protective Association will start
making plans shortly for an up-to-
date Juvenile protective home in
Richmond.
The executive committee of this or
ganization held a meeting last night
and discussed this subject at some
length Members of the committee
made it plain that they are not trying
to criticize the work that ~ being
done in the present detention home,
but believe that 1t should be more
modern. 1t is the idea of the COM
mittee to have the home equipped with
educational facilities. They declared
last night that the delinquents should
be given something to do while await
ing trial, in order to prevent them
from brooding over their troubles.
Efforts will also be made by the
association to get counsel to repre-
sent the delinquents in the courts.

612 clergymen and laymen compos-

Episcopal Church are going over their

Of the whole to consider the report
of the commission on the prayer book.
The proposed changes are technical
Some deputies fear any scheme of
revision might involve doctrinal
changes.
one proposal is to change the word
"damnation!" in several collects to
"condemnation.'

BOARD DOES NOT
THINK CITY RESPONSIBLE.

Upon examination OF the suit of STU
san c. Monkey against the city OF
Richmond the Administrative Board
has made some important discoveries,
which have been referred to the city
attorney for his information. The
complainant asks $4,000 damages for
injury to her property. located at the
northeast corner of Twenty ninth
Street and Nine Mile Road. by an
overflow of water and sewerage. The
city engineer stated before the board
that there was no sewer in that local
ity, but several drains. and found that
the police had reported the bad drains
in 1915 and that they had been re-
placed by large pipe. He declared
that her lot was lower than the grade
OF the street. and has on ii stabia
in an unclean condition. hence there
seems no reason why the city shall BIO
responsible for any standing refuse
matter on the land.

Inspector Joseph Discovers Fraud in
Handling Corn Meal In
Packages.

A kindly warning to housewives has
been given by T. W. Joseph. inspec-
tor of weights and measures, in re-
gard to purchasing foodstuffs in GER
tain kinds of packages. Numerous
cases have come to his notice recent
ly where dealers in household neces-
sites have been selling goods i'll par
ticular shapes that have proven to
be short in weight. and especially has
this been true of the sale of corn
meal. The State law defines a bushel
of meal as forty-eight pounds, a half
bushel as twenty-four pounds, a peck
as, twelve pounds. and a half peck as
six pounds. But Inspector Joseph
warns the public that there are cases
in existence where packages of meal
are being sold purporting to be half
peck packages, but by actual weight
contain only four pounds of the pro-
duct Hence, he advises that when
ordering a quantity of food material
of this nature, the dealer be asked
to weigh the commodity, in order that
full value may be received for money
spent. He further states that in many
cases the shortage in weight is mere
~ an oversight. with no intention of
dishonesty

Proceedings.

Through Attorney Harry NJ. smith,

Building Corporation, owners of the
site at Eleventh and Main Streets,
against which tho government is con-
Quoting condemnation proceedings in
order to. enlarge the present post
office building, has notified Judge
WaddiN, OF the United States District
Court that the verdict rendered by n
jury in the court Will be accepted. The
jury set the value OF the property at
$462.S00.
All objections to the proceedings OF
the government have been withdrawn
by the property owners, and Judge
WaddiN has notified the department
at Washington. 1t will be remembered
that an appropriation OF $3.50. 900 was
made by Congress to acquire the site
and an additional sum will have to be
set aside by the national body in the
event the government accepts the YER
dict Of the jury. which is very likely.

bankers and brokers dealing in
stocks have advised William Nj. Sands
examiner of records for this district,
that they viii not furnish him with q
list OF their patrons and stocks as
they had bought on the margin as
or February /. This information was
requested by the State Tax Board, the
encouragement having ruled that all
such stock was subject to taxation.
1t la said that the brokers refused
the information on advice of counsel
Ruling was made on this point in
the case of Joseph e. Willard, am
bassador to Spain, who, before filing
his returns for taxation, requested
ruling on whether stocks bought by
him on the margin were taxable. Mr.
Pollard ruled that they were as much
subject TO taxation as If they had been
purchased outright. Following this
Major Sands asked the bankers and
brokers here for a list of their patrons
who owned marginal stock on Feb
