for him during the progress of the fight
ing and for the long intervals between
fighting when the condition of his nerves
demands a relaxation. When the French
and the British soldiers have these fur
loughs they have homes to which they
can go-the most of them do. When the
American soldiers, frenzied by the sights
and sounds of warfare, are furloughed
for respite they will have no homes to

more than three thousand miles of wa
terry waste infested by the man-made
sharks called submarines and, moreover,
there will be no transportation for them
except in instances when the men are
totally ncapacitated for further service

France cannot care for them. Nor can

If there is virtue in the proposal to

port of Burlington on Lake Champlain
the commission appointed by Governor
Graham to investigate the matter will be
expected to find the good qualities OF

manufacturers who turn out great prod

best shipping facilities possible for the

wish to call the attention of the people

workers to canvass the place this week
for Red Cross funds, but that workers
from Barre will be here on Saturday TO
solicit funds and it is requested that
everyone be ready with their cash or

anticipating a call later from Williams

the Barre solicitors. and therefore, those
interested locally take this opportunity
of explaining that the canvassing has
been left entirely TO the Barre branch.
They will be here tomorrow. Be ready
