man from New York, denying that they
seek a separate peace. Kerenski, the
leader of the Labor party, who is min
lister of justice in the Russion proyis.
ional government, has announced that
he is for the war so long as it is war
of defense and not a war for the ac-
quisition of new territory. In fact,
the Russian radicals as whole are
emphatic in reiterating that they Will
support no schemes for foreign con-
quest. The fact that Russia is now
democratic gives an added reason for
substituting Russian control over the
Dardanelles in place of the control Of
autocratic and Prussianized Turkey
This would not be in the nature of for
eign conquest, but in the interest Of
real democracy in Europe. In the
fight of the Russian people for demoe-
racy the American people, who are
fighting only because they believe
that "the world must be made safe for
democracy are entirely in sympathy
with them. Some day the world will
probably know how much Americas s
entrance into the war on this issue has
done for democracy in Russia.
To sum up, we believe that while
the danger of a separate peace exists
in Russia. that danger is constantly
decreasing. Americans who pessim-
istically predict it are those who hear
the excited shouts of a few unbalanc-
ed extremists, but who overlook the
solidification and nationization which
is re-making Russia.-OutIook.

And the kid has heard the call.

Where, fired by the fife and drum
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that It whispered

And the kid, not being a Stacker,

To add his name to the roster

Since he drilled schoolboy army
In truly marshal style.

RUSSIA AND SEPARATE PEACE

Americans who profess to believe
that there is a great danger of Russias
making q separate peace are handi-
capped by lack of perspective. IN
doubtedly there is some such danger,
but the extent of it seems less than 1t
was year ago, however, this menace
was almost entirely hidden from the
outside world by the censorship OF the
autocratic government, whose many
pro-German members were the cause
of the menace. Today, with relaxed
censorship and with freedom of speech
maintained by liberal government,
the widest agitator can make his
walls heard across the Atlantic.
Much of the apprehension of sep
arate peace by Russia has been caused
by the copious reports of the attempts
of the German Socitlists to influence
the Russian radicals toward such an
end. OF such radicals the group al
most frequently mentioned lately is
included in the Council of Workmen
and Soldiers. 1t will not do to under
estimate the Importance of this group.
In leading editorial recently the New
York Times referred to this organiza-
ton as "a small group, less than a
thousand in number" The Times is
mistaken. While the Council of Work
men and Soldiers was of small impor.
tance before the revolution, of which
it is largely an outgrowth, and while
the exact size of its growing member
ship cannot be determined Americans
may be assured that it is a not incon-
siderable political entity which cannot
be dismissed with contempt.
The FACT is, though that while the
Council of Workmen and Soldiers has
considerable strength, it has by no
means yet been determined that this
strength will be exerted for the at
tainment of a separate peace. In fact,
evidence is constantly piling up which
indicates that the peoples intention
to continue the war is increasing.

NO ADDISON COUNTY
FAIR THIS YEAR
All Big Gatherings Forbidden as
Public Health Measure
First Time in 73 Years That Add
son County Exhibit Has Been
Cancelled

Like bolt from a clear sky came an
order from the State Board of health on
Wednesday morning forbidding the
holding of any state or county fairs in
Vermont this year. At a conference
held in Burlington on Tuesday at which
Governor Graham was present, the
board decided that no fair, state or
county, Chautauqua, street carnival or
circus should be held in the state until
further notice owing to the prevalence
of infantile paralysis in some parts Of
the state.
The officers of the Addison County
Fair heard this news with great disap.
pointment, as will the hundreds of mem.
bers of the Addison County Agricultural
Society, for all arrangements had beer
made for the holding Of one of the big
gest fairs in the history of the county.
On Wednesday evening, President John
E, Weeks of the Fair, Secretary f. c.
Dyer and treasurer c, +. Rogers held a
meeting with Col. S. A. lllsley its prin-
cipal patron, at Col. S. A. Illsley rooms
in the Addison and upon hearing Judge
Weeks report on a conference with Gov
ernor Graham, to the effect that the
order was positive in its application to
all the state, they decided to proceed at
once to cancel all arrangements, and the
following official notice was given out;
account of the alarming spread
of nfantile paralysis in the state,
the State Board of Health, after a
conference with Governor Graham,
has issued an order prohibiting all
public gatherings, such as fairs,
Chautauquas, etc, until further
notice, which means, of course,
that there will be no such gather
ings this year. For the first time
in seventy-three years there will be
no Addison County Fair While we,
Of course, deeply regret the neces-
sity of this, the circumstances are
entirely beyond our control and the
lives and health of the people should
receive consideration before any
thing else We wish to take this
occasion to thank the people for
their generous patronage and sup
port in the years past and we prom
ise that the fair in 1918, if we are
privileged to hold one, will be fully
up to the high standard we have
maintained in the past.

S2I5 FOR FRENCH RED CROSS
Celebration of July 14th Gay and
Patriotic Enterprise

The l4th Of July, the French National
independence Day, was celebrated in
Middlebury last Saturday for the first
time probably since the fall Of the
Bastie 1913 years ago, A large number
of townspeople and summer school stu
dents gathered in the parlors of Pearsons
Hall, both during the afternoon and
evening, in a gay setting of flowers and
flags in a tri-color scheme. The whole
program was so successful that several
gave their hearty approval to similar
celebration next year
The sale of fancy articles and of
patriotic emblems netted $2l5 for the
French Red Cross. Little Grace But
tolph drew prizes in two railles. One of
Raemaeker's war cartoons of French
prisoners was won by Miss Lucy Smith;
while five-dollar gold piece was won
by Miss Flowers, summer student.
Mrs. d. G. Noble presided at the tea
tables.
The evening program included a
short address by Viscount G. ID. de la
Jarrie, head of the French school, and
feature of the music was some charm
ing singing by Mile. Berta REVERE,
who made her debut in New York in
French repertoire last winter and who
another season will tour the south.
Other participants in the program were
Miss Marguerite Dyer, Miss Pearl
Clark, Miss Gladys Lott, Madam de
Sales, Nine. Basil Kodjbanoff D. f,

home, 33 Seminary street, at the age of
"a years. George Powers, cousin of

Thursday morning Mr.. Powers was sur
prised that he did not here Mrs. How
ard stirring in her room, and upon in
vestigating, found her dead in bed, in a
position that indicated she had been in
the act of getting up when stricken with
apoplexy. 1t is thought that Mrs.
Howard, who was bit timid of thunder
storms, had been frightened during the
shower late that night and that it had
affected her heart Her strength had
failed her considerably in the last few
years, she had experienced two shocks
some time ago.
Mrs. Howard was well known in Mid
dlebury and had many very warm
friends. Her nearest surviving rela-
tive is son, L. Roy Howard, employed
at Gardner, Mass. She is also survived
by three cousins here, Mrs. F. A. Bond,
Mrs. o. H. Cushman, and Joseph Cobb.

tional church. The plans are to hold

$4,000 KlDDIES WANT FRESH AIR
N. Y, Tribune Seeking Vacation
Homes for Them in Country

Mrs. Deane Mckay, representing the
New York Tribune Fresh Air Fund, was
here this week to again interest local
ministers and others in the well know
work which the Tribune has done for
the past forty years in finding homes
for city children in the country for two
weeks in the summer. Mrs. Mckay says
there are 25, 900 applications from poor
children yearning for this outing this
year, and she hopes there are many
kindhearted people in Addison County
who can find room to tuck one or two of
these children into their homes for two
weeks time. All of the local ministers
will urge this upon those who can do so,
and The Register heartily spreads this
appeal, Mrs. Mckay wants to find
homes for 1000 in Vermont. Those in
terested in helping in this noble work,
whose reward is great, are urged to ap-
ply to A. w. Dickens, the local chair
man, who will furnish particulars.

SIGNS CONTRACT WITH GEORGE '
George Shea Among Those Now
Employed by His Majesty

The three hundred and tifty-fye
picked men from the lumber industry
of New England who have gone to old
England with ten portable saw mill
units to cut timber in the private parks
and game preserves of the British Isles
for the allied Notifications in France and
Belgium constitute an unique little
army of themselves, The American
Lumberman points out that a large
number of the men have gone abroad at
considerable personal sacrifice, most of
the men being of mature years, immune
from the draft, and some have given up
large salaries or prosperous businesses
to do their Bit in British woodlands,
George M. Shea, Of the Connecticut
Valley Lumber Co., and whose home is
here in Middebury, is the general ac-
countant and bookkeeper of this saw
mill army. He is the son of Mrs. Esther
Shea of High street,
The expense of recruiting, organza-
ing and equipping these ten saw mill
units approximately $40, 900 is being
paid by private subscriptions among the
lumber industries of New England and
by sums of Sl2, 900 each raised by the
public salty committees of six New
England states.
Each member of the expedition has
signed individual contracts with "flis
Majesty the King of England" The
contracts specifically state that the men
shall not be called upon for service
other than for numbering, and that each
man shall be paid from the moment of
sailing until one year from that date,
when he is to be given free transporta-
tion back to Boston.
Zeke, six weeks-old black bear from
the Maine woods is the Official mascot
of this lumber corps.
