-2 whether it is now safe to leave this port for Europe in view of the possi- ble danger from the German snbmar- inc U-58. Among them are the White Star liner Adriatic, due to leave with about 250 passengers and nearly 1s,000 tons of cargo, most of which is said to be war material. The Atlantic Transport liner Mtnnehaha is loading 14,000 tons of cargo, also said to be war munitions and the Cunard line steamer Pannonia is un- derstood to be ready to sail for Lon don carrying freight only.
 The others were small freight ves- sells.
 Officials of the White Star line de- clared the Adriatic would leave at noon for Liverpool, notwithstanding a previous announcement that her departufe would be postponed indef- initely. They denied she would be conveyed by an entente war vessel.
 No information of further activi- ties of the U-53 had been received here today. Shipping men are ffi- clined to believe she is on the way to her base, probably Helgoland.

Good-style suits at $20 to $27.50.

There has been lot of talk this season about the high prices of suits. Frankly, there has been too much talk; more than was warranted.
 Price, as always, is regulated this season by value. sj -Ni4 The value of suit depends upon the quality of cloth used in it, the amount of tailoring.
 There are expensive suits; plenty of them. But they offer full value for their price. And there are suits of smaller costs; many many of them.
 The store has never had larger gather ing of suits, for illustration, at $20 to $27.50 and great majority of women prefers to choose at price between these two figures.
 There are suits in the fashionable colors, and in rich black Among those colors are some burgundy shades.
 There are suits of the fashionable mater ials, of dependable serges of handsome gab- ardines.
 There are suits in new models planned especially for tall women, in models for women of average figure, in styles for full figures, in patterns for petite women.
 A number of folks have given too much weight to q 0n what they have read and heard about the "high price of suits'': It will be CO / interesting, and worth
 while to see, instead, what d 17gEn excellent suits arc ready eNS here at Y i-a-g i'd .ga x -y lrt t s~s

1t should be gratifying to Vcrmlnt-
ers that the militia were modified
and started for the border so ex.
peditiously. TO these familiar with the
history of the state, however. that
promptness will occasion no surprise:
to respond quickly to each call to
service, and then to give a good ac.
count of itself till the need for service
IS over, Is the Vermont way. The fol.
lowing paragraphs from the recently
revised History of Vermont, by DR..
Edward ID. Collins, professor of ped
a9ogy IN Middlebury college, will be
read with especial interest just now:

The special session of the legisla.

April. The members were greeted nj

brass field pieees which Stark had
taken from the Hessians at the battle
of Bennington pouring out the natioa,

Vermont regiments had been raised by
state authority; the cavalry was
raised under the direct authority of
the United States. The regiment served
IN the Shenandoah Valley, at Gettys-
burg, III tho Wilderness campaign, and
under Sheridan.
Vermont had a higher percentage
of men killed i'll action than any other
state, while the percentage OF the old
brigade was higher even than TINT of
the state. The FIVE original regiments
Of this brigade gave 4,747 officers anJ
men to the service of the government;
4,070 more were added to these during
the war, making an aggregate Of SSH
officers aud men. The total wounded
was a,32s; III died in Union hospitals;
SIS were killed in action; $50 died of
wounds; fa5. died III Confederate

Vermont sent 70 the war ten men

tion She was credited with nearly
thirtv.fonr thousand volunteers, out of
Il total enrolment of thirty-seven

in action, while in proportion to total
numbers her troops took more rebel
eolors than those of any other state

ness block of this village, owned by the
Charles Pierce estate. ushered in the
Fourth of July celebration at clock
Monday night. Firecrackers carelesslv
thrown by BOYS are alleged to have
started the fire in the cellar of the
building underneath the shoe store of
Y. NJ. Hebert. The fire crept through
the building which is a wooden struc-
ture, off and on for three hours, badly
damaging three tenements and three
stores. The fire was fought in darkness
for half an hour, when the power was
shut off to do away with the danger
to the fremen It was the hottest
might before that South Deerfeld
has had in many years.

aged to the extent of $4,000, of which
81. 800 is covered by insurance. The
tailor shop of r. A. Van Petersilge
suffered a loss of about ST 800. partly
covered by insurance. The stock in Il.
f. Putnam s general merchandise store
was damaged somewhat. The rest of
the damage to the building was suf,
fered by the owners and the three
tenants, Albion Boynton, w. C. Clamp
and A. j. Agard. Mrs. Agard had 4
little confiagfation of her own when a
skyrocket shot up under her sleeve
and burned her arm.
The smoke was first seen by an
