HAS s5t MEN IN THE NAVY
Vermont Has Sent This Number
Since War Call.

Three hundred and fifty-ons men
have been enlisted through the navy
recruiting station in the Vermont dis
trict since the United States has been
at war. The district comprises the
State of Vermont and the counties of
Clinton, Essex and Franklin in New
York state.
Charles A. Harris, ensign, United
States navy, retired, is the officer in
charge of the district, and his head
quarters are in the postofiice building
in Burlington. The sub-stations are
in Montpelier, Rutland and Platts-
burgh. Mr.. Harris has been cease
less in his endeavors to see that the
recruiting is carried out on a large
scale and that his endeavors have
been successful is amply testified to
by the fact that 26 from outside dis
tricts besides the S51 from his own
district have been enlisted.
That a great many towns are not
represented in the list printed below
is to be regretted, as every place in
the district should have representa-
tive. Ire President has called "all
hands" to aid the navy recruiting
force in this time of trouble, and ii
goes without saying that the business
men of each town or hamlet should
do all in their power to have at least
one representative in the navy.

have supplied recruits for Uncle

Greenland is Green.

When you were boy you used to
sing "On Greenland's ley Mountain
Wen, the country is simply a vast nest
Of green mountains, covered with
snow, ice and glaciers. These are
known as live and dead glaciers. The
dead glaciers are a mass of snow and
ice which has accumulated between
gorges for n million years or more and
have become so condensed that you
could not penetrate the mass except
by steel drill. The live glaciers are
those that break of and fall into the
waters and become floating masses Of
ice, often inflcting damage to ships
Where the sun can strike a spot the
trees, which are Of dense growth, but
small, wear the most beautiful green.

HARRY GARFIELD
A Product of the Trust Imposed on
Mrs. Garfield After President Died

TFoouSt OF 'tnet trust imposed on
Mrs. Garfield After President Died
Harry Garfield went to Princeton as
professor Of politics in 1903, taking
the classes which Professor Wilson
had when he was promoted to the
university presidency. President
Wilson and Professor Garfield be-
came great friends. Mr.. Garfield had
practiced law for several years in
Cleveland with his brother, Jim and
Fred Howe, now immigration com.
missioner; but in such company he
couldn't fail 10 be devoting as much
Of his time to public affairs as to law.
His preference had led him to teach.
ing law in Western Reserve and to
practicing politics in municipal
leagues and civic associations. When
he came to Princeton his mind was
running along the same channels as
Woodrows and they liked each other

president in 1908. it was natural that
Professor Garfield of Princeton should
be chosen as 1t was certain he would
accept He has administered the
affairs of the university creditably
and has kept academically busy, but
he has not shown the interest in prac.
tical politics that his early law career
promised. Brother Jim has done the
public speaking, political organizing
and Office holding. In the last cam.
paign Harry spoke up for Wilson. He
didn't so stumpling, he didn't become
at all violent in his support. and he
didn't live in state where he could
do much anyhow, but he did show his
good will for Woodrow openly. which
was a good deal for the son Of Re.

Aver, Mass, Sept. 5.-Camp Dew
ems, the cantoment which is to shelter
$4,000 soldiers of the new national
army from New England and northern
New York including Vermont, was
last night declared officially ready for
the first contingent that will reach
here.
Maj Gen. Harry F. Hodges, COM
mander of the 10th division, and his
staff yesterday worked out a skeleton
organization. 1t was practically de-
cided to assign the recruits from
Maine and part of New Hampshire to
the artillery sections. Height and
strength are factors in the selection
Of men for light and heavy artillery,
and it is expected that men from the
northern states will measure up to
these requirements. The rest of the
recruits will make up the infantry
companies.
Two troops of regular cavalry, a
field hospital company, sanitary
unit field bakery, officers from the
Plattsburg training camp and the
Harvard reserve officers crops band
will be at the camp when the recruits
arrive The new soldiers will assem-
bic at a building near the main gate
for their final physical examination
and when passed will be assigned to
the company barracks. After receiv'
ing requisition cards they will go to
the company stores for clothing and
bedding. When they have donned
their new uniforms and have put their
sleeping quarters in order the first
day for the soldiers of the new ma
| tional army will be over.
The army of 10000 workmen who
have been engaged for severa
months is putting up the cantonment
building constructing roads, install
ing a lighting and heating plant and
other camp essentials will begin tC
depart today. They will leave in de
tachments every day thereafter as
the camp near completion.

London, Sept. 4.-Since the fall of

about twenty-five miles southeast OF

Fighting was severe in the Great
Jaegel region. The Russians had left
a strong rear guard to protect the
retreat of the defeated Twelfth Army
and desperate attacks were made up
on the advancing Germans, but the
Kaiser's troops broke through on a
front Of about nine miles near Valen
rode and occupied the trenches. TAX
ing several thousand Russian prison
ers and more than $50 guns.
The evacuation Of Riga was ex
pected and prepared for several
weeks ago by the Russians, as little
resistance was expected from the
troops on that front. The archives
and treasures were removed to
Pskoff and nearly all the shipping
left the harbor for Reval and other
points. Riga has long been known as
a hotbed of Leninites and other paci
fists and II was literally swarming
with German agents. Even before the
war the German element was SC
strong there that 1t was regarded as
almost a German city.
1t was the impending fall of Rige
which was the subject of the disquiei
ing dispatches sent recently to Lon

lieyed now, however, that the loss Of
the city is a matter of much import
ance.
