AND HE WAS A "YANK' ,.
Canadian Papers Tribute to Vermont
er Who Died Fighting in Europe.

In the Ottawa Evening Journal of
October 10, there was IAN apprecia-
ton of Il Vermont boy in whose mem
DRY, Ottawa@ friends bow heads in
mournful andsrespectful tribute Tn
der this heading was told the story
of a young American who2l like $50 many
thousands of others had felt it their
duty to get into the big war, and had
won distinction bv bravery. He was
just one OF the thousands who en-
listed at the first call - one whose
spirit is duplicated in thousands of 9TH
ers of the famous American Legion.
To quote from the Ottawa newspaper:
- Frank Goodrich was not Canadian
He was 'Yank =, as he called himself,
from Vermont. Also he was proud OF
being a Yank and in his boyish, good
natured way, sometimes made sensitive
Canadian friends squirm by talking too
much about the United States. He be-
came engaged to a pretty little black
eyed Canadian girl and IN good time
kissed her goodbye and went to war
i'll the ranks of a Canadian regiment,
the 18th Highlanders of Toronto. He
fought and was gravely wounded at St
Julien; entered the British aviation
corps as lieutenant, won the military
| cross, became captain and last week
this Vermont boy was killed, while fight
ing the battle of civilization above the
clouds in his aeroplane.
What is it in war that fascinates
men, draws them on, and when wound
ed they let it draw them back to the
conflict when health is restored? That
it is not altogether love for one IS coun-
try Is proved by the hundreds of Ameri-
cans who are focking to the ranks of
the 2l3th " American Legion battalion
III Toronto, and by the 10000 of
the same nationality who are already
somewhere in France fighting Can
ada 5 battles for her and bringing ev-
erything American into closer bond
Of friendship with Canada than has
ever existed before.

DEER SEASON FAVORABLE.
Three Bucks Taken First Day and
Many More SIGHTED.

The deer season opened Friday under
very favorable weather conditions for
bare ground hunting, after the heavy
rain OF the previous day. Three bucks
were brought in in the afternoon,

the day, and they we're unusually fine

250 pounds in weight, not dressed, they

That more deer were not secured was
the fault Of the workmanship of the
hunters, who sighted many deer and
missed many shots. Seldom, if ever,
were more deer stirring on the first day
even when the ground was covered
with snow, and the tales of the re-
turned nimrods Friday evening were
worth hearing:
Two herds Of five deer each were the
largest number seen together and the
big buck seen and chased on Bear Hill
by experienced hunters and ones who
know when they see an exceptionally
large animal was probably the largest
and carried the best set of aBtlers. This
buck VIII probably receive more atten-

only salvation.

last January, so wild that on our ap-

hung the cage low, and by patience, at

finally from the lips. We used to let

ton of President Wilson.
With prospect Of n much reduced
majority in the new house. or possibly

troll will be i'm doubt, administration
leaders have laid their plans to work at
high speed in the hope of cnacting the
most important part of their program
before, il is endangered in the sixty
fifth congress.
Foremost is completion of President
Wilson s railroad legislation program
left unfinished at tho last session with
the passage of the Adamson law The
remainder Of the program, which the
President win press, includes supple
mentary legislation to prevent such n
nation-w railway strike as was
threatened last summer, or i'm fact a
lockout, until the situation has been in
Vcstigatcd.
Second In Importance TO the railway
situation comes the agitation for a
restriction Of shipments OF foodstulfs to
Europe. Thousands of petitions ask
ing for an embargo have been received
by members of congress and at the
White House. I'm every case it is ar
gued that the increased cost of living
in the United States demands a restric-
tion of shipments abroad. So far as
has been disclosed President Wilson and
members Of the cabinet have no plans
for acting ON the subject, hut it is
known that various members of con.
gress intend to push the subject and il
may develop a fight. Chairman Fitz-
gerald Of the appropriations committee
already has announced his intention OF
introducing a bill for a food embargo.

The NATION Is SHOCKING
~ UNPREPARED.

1t Is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared. There
Is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular. troops
Qess. l believe, than 100000 are
tnere or In Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that is, we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to prevent bandit incur
sions. In view OF the warnings
Of the past three years, 1t Is
inexcusable that we should find
ourselves In this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with fine patriotism responded
TO this call and are bearing this
burden, l have Iothing but
praise. But | think 1t little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled TO call men from
their Shops, their factories, their
Offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however,
Is not all. The units OF the Ma.
tional Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-half the required strength.
II was necessary TO bring in
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
In the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun.
dred hours OF military drill, and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply.
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions OF transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not very grave
one. It involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
Of disturbance, and required
only a modest talent for organ
ization. That this Administra-
ton while pursuing its course
In Mexico should have permitted
