FIGHTING BLOOD OF sENTERs.
Although Twice Wounded Montpelier
Boy Will Reioin Regiment

Clarence II. Senter of Montpelier
has received a letter from his broth
err, John, who is in hospital at Cam
bridge, England, stating that he is do
ing well and hopes to recover enough
to be able to go back to the front
again. He has been in a serious con
dition for several weeks. In drive
which the English troops were making
in France he suffered bayonet wound
in the chest from which he is MAX
ing a good recovery. He also re-
ceived a bad nose wound from a shrap-
mel, but again he was fortunate, for
his physicians performed difficult oper-
ations so that the nose is bot slightly
disfigured. His most serious condition
arose from the effects of the poisonous
gases which the Germans released III
the trenches and it is from these effects
that he is slowly recovering. As is
known, these gases mostly affect the
| legs and hands. Mr.. Senter suffered
most in the hands, which he is not yet
able to use much, while he also sui
fered considerably from cough whicl
developed from the effects of the case
in the throat. Despite all that he ha
been through he still expects to rejoil
his regiment.

The exigencies of Republican plat

platform is not the place for philoso-
phic subtleties, and this must be the
reason why the platform-makers at
Chicago did not take up the highly
difficult question whether the action in

upheld by the Republicans with the
