Informal calculations on the cost of the eight-hour law
to the railroads lifts the sum from the S5O!OOO,OOO estimate
of the managers to $IOo,OoOOOo by the experts. An all
around freight raise of p I2 per cent is deemed necessary
to foot the bill. Slippino the bill down the line is a matter
of some detail, but it is sure to get the consumers goat
The public, and particularly the farmer, must foot the bill.

The federal government wants 200 men stenograph-
ers and is holding examinations throughout the country
to secure the needed number. These countrywide efforts
indicate quite clearly how we'll the women have swept the
shorthand field. A few men linger there, oppressed by
their loneliness.

The official reporter of General Trevino's "victorv'

His demonstrated ability fits him for a lofty perch on the
Alps, the Balkans or the Carpathians, where the range of
vision offers unlimited exercise for hot stuff.

NO GREAT GAINS AT vERDUN.
Zepplin Attacks Almost Nightly on
Great Britain-No Change in
Submarine Situation.

Fierce fighting has continued in the
Nerdun district between the German
and French armies. The reports indi-
Gated little advance by the Germans
the first of the week, but later reports
snow that they have obtained no par
ticular advantage i'll the attack which
has cost many thousands of lives. The
German Zepplins have crossed the
seas for almost nightly attacks. On
Friday night in eastern and northeas-
tern Scotland they dropped bombs
which destroyed large amount of
property, killed 60 people and injured
1866.
Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg, in ad-
dressing the German reichstag We'd
nesday, declared that Germany had no
aggressive designs on the United
States, Canada or South American
countries. Reading between the lines
of his speech one gets the impression
that he sees that Germany is beaten.
If the allies continue their devastation
he says, "we shall have to stand it
like men.
There has been no important devcl-
opment III the relations between the
United States and Germany. The set
Element of the submarine question
whereby American lives are endan-
gcred, is apparantely long ways off,
and by denials and by sparring for
time the Germans can continue to hold
mp the main issue long time.

information that the term of enlist
mcnt of Drum Major Haigh expired
April l, 1916, and that he will not re-
enlist, because of the press of private
affairs and of the fact that he feels
that after his many years of active
service with the regiment he would
like to withdraw to private life. This
is distinct loss to the regiment as
Drum Major Haigh has not only
served the regiment with distinction
as a commissioned officer, non-commis-
stoned officer and non-commissioned
staff officer, but in various other ca
pacities, and this long service has
been marked with loyalty, proficiency
and faithfulness.
"On behalf of the regiment the
regimental commander extends to
Drum Major Haigh the thanks of the
officers and enlisted men for his long
and faithful service and advises him
that he carries with him the sincere
wish of all that he may have long,
happy and prosperous life
Drum Major Haigh, who is super
visor at the Brattieboro Retreat, is
native of Canterbury, England. He
learned the tailor S trade of his faith
er and when hardly more than boy
enlisted in the 10th Infantry and was
sent with the regiment to Ireland. In
1872 the regiment was transferred to
India, being stationed in Lucknow
Dumdum and Calcutta. Mr.. Haigh
came to this country III 1876 and after
spending two years at his trade in
Montreal came to Jamaica. Soon af-
terward he became baker at the
Brattleboro Retreat, which position he
held about 20 years. Then for sever
al years he was employed by the Es
tey Organ company, afterward return
ing to the Retreat. He enlisted in
Company | as a private in March,
1889. He received several promotions
and in 1898 was elected captain. He
was in command of the company dur
ing its service at Chickamauga in the
Spanish American war.
Mr.. Haigh has served with dignity
as drum major and the men connect
ed with the band and the regiment
feel that the praise bestowed by Col.
Reeves is well merited.

FROM GERONIMO TO VILLA.
Pershing as Subaltern Showed Quail
ties Which Made Him Successful.

AS long ago as 1887 General Miles,
one of that group of Indian fighters
and plainsmcn whose valor gave dis
tinction, if not glory, to our little
army in the years succeeding the Civil
War, thought it worth while to COM
mend officially a young lieutenant of
the Sixth Cavalry for marching his
troop, with pack train, over rough
country, $40 miles in 46 hours, bring
ing in every man and animal in good
condition
The young otficer-he was second
lieutenant, only one year out of West
Point-was John j. Pershing, a native
of Missouri, who had come out the
year before, just in time to join the
operations that resulted in the round
ing up of Geronimo, the famous
Apache chief whose depredations and
treachery had engaged the attention
of Generals Crook and Miles for two
years and had severly strained the re-
sources of the entire United States
army as it was at that time organized.
1t will be recalled that the willy
Indian who defed the United States
government so successfully for so long
Il period had to be pursued into Mex
leo over some of the same ground now
being traversed by the American eX.
pcditionary force in search of Villa,
before he could be captured. \ SINH.
larity at once suggests itself between
the operations in 1916 in that forbid
ding land and those of 1SS5-S7. In
each instance the renegades were sup
piled with arms and munition of Ameri-
lean make, were thoroughly familiar
nj in,
which they took refuge, were ready
to stop at no act of cold-blooded at
rocity to accomplish their immediate
purpose, and were animated by con-
suming hatred of their pursuers,
tinged possibly by a strain of con
tempt.
We introduce this comparison merely
BY way Of showing the eminent fl
ness of having the present difficult
Of our army entrusted to
the hands Of one who knew intimate
ly the difficulties, pitfalls and dan
gers innumerable that surrounded the
expedition Of thirty years ago. Said
the vetern scout, James II. Cook, who
went with the Eighth Cavalry into
Mexico in 1883, speaking of the adj
vance of Pershing's columns into Mex
leo last month; "The only thing that
makes the expedition look hopeful in
my eyes is my faith in the men who
command it.'(ATr. Cook was also re-
fcrring here to Lieut.. Cabell. now
chief Of staff to General Pershing; he
too, was on the Geronimo expedition
On March -, 1916, General Pershing
at the head of cavalry column far
moro imposing than that which he had
commanded, as a lieutenant, % years
before, rode across the international
boundary into Mexico and within 10
marching hours, despite the lack cf
water and the roughness of the coun-
try, covered 10 miles. For so large
Il body Of mounted men, this average
advance of 33 miles day compares
not unfavorably with the record made
by the same officer in 1887. The vim
and dash that then won praise for the
young subaltcrn now command, in the
seasoned general, the whole country s

SPRINGFELD'S BENEFACTOR.
E. H. Barney, Skate Manufacturer
Died in Florida.

Everett II. Barney, 80, bcncfactor Of
Springfield, Mass, by the gift of large
part of Forest park and head of
the firm of Barney & Berry, died
Friday at his winter home in Sarasota,
Fla. He leaves an estate in Massachu-
sets and Florida estimated at 81 100000
1t is thought from his own announcement
that he has left a large part or all of this
for the purchase OF property east of Court
square, to permit the extension of the
square to Chestnut street.
The sum so left has been estimated at
100000 or $G0O,OO0; but even if the en-
tire estate were devoted to this purpose
only IA small part of the strip east of Court
square to Chestnut street could be bought,
and it is said that the value of the prop
erty will appreciate faster than the be-
quest would gather interest.

Sour Grapes.
(Rutland Ncws.)

Brattleboro is making a noise over
the fact that its postal receipts for
the year just closed exceeded the re-
ceipts of the Rutland Office, placing
that village in second place in this re.
spect in Vermont. The honor of pass
ing Rutland in any respect is worth
Dragging about, surely. 1t is net dis
closed as to Just what class Of mail
is responsible for this excess on Brat
tleboro S part, but it is not necessarily
due to the burdcning of mails each
month with bills to Brattleboro resi-.
dents, whereas the practise of paving
cash, obviating the mailing of bills
and statements, obtains in this city.
