If available after ii is completed this
enumeration ought to be of no small as
sistance in revising the town check
list, which is made up largely
from the tax list and on that account
is not accurate as far as qualifications
for voting are concerned.
In considering the Twin State com
pany's proposition to install ornamen-
tai light posts throughout the business
section the voters should bear in
mind that acceptance Of it would be
a step toward getting rid of the wires
which now disfgure Main street, for
if the posts are put in the wires which
feed them viii have to be laid under
ground. Not few people have been
heard to express a preference for clus-
ter lights instead of those of the single
unit variety, but the latter are said to
be proving more satisfactory and many
cities which have had clusters are dis
carding them in favor of styles such
as are now on exhibition in front of the
Twin State division office. AS indicat
! ing what the company is willing TO
spend to give Brattleboro a modern
system of illumination it might be
stated that posts like those now on ex-

Ample Justification of Beliel mat
Country Will stop Fighting is Seen
Washington received the report OF
the Kaiser's hurried trip to Bull
paria yesterday with knowing
smiles. The Russian revolution
Washington diplomats know, gives
the Kaiser ample field for worry with
regard to his Buigar allies.
Bulgaria, it is believed, may stop
fighting at any time. If she does 1t
will shatter the Kaiser's dream OF
an expansion of German empire TO
the east Blocked in the west, the
SCATTERING OF this dream may mean
the breakdown of the war party m
Germany.
The one factor that drove Bull
ooria into this war has now been re-
moved. That factor was Car Memo
las, of Russia. Russia was RESPONSE
bile for Bulgara's freedom forty
wears ago. But the late Car was
ALWAYS q rabid anti-Bulgar. 1t was
because Bulgaria feared his machina-
tons that she joined finally with the

possible.

declaration only against Serbia. She
fought for purely Bulgarian Objects
Those objects have now been at
