porters who appeared before the city
council in favor of the boys band were
John Callaehan, Henry Russ, two union
men, and w. Clapp, our city poor master.
We think it perfectly proper that the To-
Gals in this vicinity should understand
the situation and know who are respon-
sible for the lack Of support given to the
band that caused their disarmament. We
are in sympathy with the boys band and
believe they should receive some support
and encouragement, but not to enter into

1t has been suggested that the mem
bers Of the Vermont legislature if called
in special session to take action on the
matter of paying Vermont soldiers sum
moned to the country's service at this
time, could render a patriotic service by
declining to accept per diem for their
very brief stay at Montpelier, merely
accepting the mileage allowance. The
suggestion is very good one and should
be taken seriously by every member of
the legislature. The legislature need not
be in session more than a day or two,
and consequently the individual stipend
would be very small but the aggregate
which the state would be called upon to
pay would be no inconsiderable sum.
The boys of the Vermont National Guard
have shown their patriotism by offering
their services, and their lives If need be,
to the defense OF their country; the
mem bers of the Vermont legislature
could show their patriotism in small
part by giving a few hours of their time
to the common cause il they should be
called in special session. Let the matter
be considered in all seriousness.

LETTERS TO THE

Editor Times:
At a regular meeting OF the musicians
union, local No ass, held July ?, it was
thought advisable in connection with
sending our report to our headquarters to
also send to each local in this vicinity our
protest against certain members of the
Barre city council and others who are
union men, who have been working
against the principles of organized labor
To explain; The Barre Citizens band
was union organization in good stand
ing, belonging to a union of 100000
members. The band have received from
the city each year $1,000 for 10 park
concerts; that gave to each member the
sum of $32 for l6 concerts, and he was
expected TO rehearse whole year for
that amount. When the proposition came
before the city council this summer for
their consideration, they turned it down,
and were in favor of giving one Peter

pleasant and profitable manner, from

| lions and leave numerous gifts.
Mrs. Wilbur F. Bradford, in a most

gold to Mr.. Mudgett from his many
friends, to which he responded with feel.
ings of true affection for his friends and
the dear old state OF Vermont.
A feature was the birthday cake made

And you, dear Grandpa. with us yet,
How clad on this thy birthday We.
To see thy face and bid thee stay,
And unger yet, and view with Joy
The green hills of Vermont where thy dear

You had no thought nor care to roam
Till our dear Master called him home.

There is no rose without a thorn,
There Is no life but hath its sorrow.

Then we shall see them face to face,
Our loved ones in that heavenly place.
This brought to the end of "a perfect

THE BRITISH THRUST.

One can readily agree with the report
sent out officially from the British head
quarters in France that it Is "too early"
to say a great deal about the offensive
which the British and French armies
started Saturday morning in the middle
of the great war front where the con-
tending armies have been at deadlock
for year and more. To be sure, the
first thrust of the entente allies in that
sector was fruitful OF great results in
territory seized; but the final test of
the success of an offensive is the ability
to keep up the operations and to hold
the ground gained It has been proven
time after time in the present war that
a sufficient army can be assembled and
sufficient munitions piled up so that
progress can be made against any de-
Tending army lined up in the war, so
great is the momentum Of the move
ment; but it has been demonstrated
again and again that once the defending
force gets its second wind, 50 to speak.
it is able to check the assailing army
and eventually to win back all or a part
of the territory lost Therefore, it isl
agreed that as vet it Is too early to sum
up the results OF the entente thrust on
the western front, albeit admission Is
readily made that the first effects have
been very disastrous tc the Germans.
The real story Of the effort viii be told
in the next few weeks.

is growing apace when he thinks of
the probable result of the national
election this year. 81 am looking for
New York State to give Wilson a fine
majority over Hughes" said he. The
primary returns in New York State
indicate that the Democratic. nominee
for governor received 40 per cent of
the Progressive Or Roosevelt vote. In
1912 the New York vote was as fol-
lows: Wilson 647,273, Taft 452, 745,
Roosevelt 382,7O9.
"By adding 40 per cent of the
Roosevelt or Progressive vote to Will
sons 1912 vote, and subtracting 40 per
cent from the combined vote for Taft
and Roosevelt we have this for 1915:
Wilson S00,356, Hughes 683,371. Upon
this basis Wilson's majority over
Hughes in 1916, in New York State,
will be 1885,"
