Worktng 40 Make Peace.

Washington, Sept. Awhile her peo.
pie at home are working to make peace
possible, Germany by her capture OF
Riga is seeking to sway the wavering
or unpatriotic among Russians to sep
arate negotiations.
Only time will tell whether linden
burg will continue his smash to Petro.
grad. That he can take the capital is
certain. Its effect would be mainly psy.
Geological, for it would add practically
nothing to the military position of the
Teutons while it would involve many
men and much material.
That it would have tremendous ef-
feet on the Russians, however, is ad-
mitted here by officials, who, while far
from pessimistie, hope this added i'm
petus to separate peace will not mater
ialize.

RED CROSS EXHIBIT AND TEA


A most interesting exhibited was
held at the residence of Mr.. Charles
S. Robinson at Manchester Center, on
Tuesday afternoon and evening. Its
purpose was TO demonstrate the work
that is being done in all parts of the
town by the Manchester Red Cross
Branch of the Vermont Chapter of the
American Red Cross.
Mr.. Robinson opened his house and
grounds for the occasion. The house
was tranformed into reception rooms,
artistically decorated with flowers,
and flags of the allied nations. Red
Cross posters, banners and flags in
rrofusion decked the grounds in gala
array. Unstinted efforts combined
with the skillful arrangements Of ar
tistic effects would alone have made
the affair a success. Music was fur
nished through the entire afternoon
and evening by Cox's Orchestra.
Tea tables were arranged on the
lawns and in the house, and refresh
ments were served,-dainty sandwich
cs, coffee, tea, punch, ices, cakes, etc.
Miss Ferguson, district nurse, presid-
ed over coy little bower as mistress
Of the exchequer. Little girls fiutter-
ed about with trays Of red, white and
biue boutonnieres. Wtfs'~"
The exhibits were educational as
well as interesting, and elected much
praise. In the enclosed porch were
shown surgical dressings made by the
class under the instruction Of Miss
Anita Bliss, who presided over the ex-
hibit. Bandages, congresses, pads Of
various kinds were shown, and pack
ages made up ready for shipment and
officially stamped, were shown. Miss
Bliss also demonstrated knitting socks
on knitting machine.
The Red Cross work was exhibited
in "The Barn" under the supervision
of Mrs. E. L. Wyman, secretary Of the
Manchester Red Cross Branch. The
amount Of completed work was in
spring and admiring visitors were in
formed that the exhibit represented
only part, since much work has
previously been shipped to headquar-
ters. Napkins, traycloths, hospital
linen, pajamas, nightingales, knitted
sweaters, socks, and mufflers are only
a very few Of the many articles ex-
hibited. Work was also shown under
process Of construction. Sewing ma
chimes we're busy in a nearby room
turning out surgical shirts and other
garments.
The exhibition-tea was visited by
large numbers, both afternoon and
evening. An inconsiderate exhibit of
thunder and raindrops was an unwel-
come intruder in the afternoon, but
did not minimize at all the pleasure Of
the guests who gleefully betook them
selves into the hospitable interior OF
Red Cross Fairyland.
Manchester owes much to the pat
riotic generosity of Mr.. Robinson,
who SO lavishly provided the entire
