suits of the debate which took
place at Cooling. Reports were
given by Miss Steelman, Mr..
Sparks, and Mr.. Woman, who
attended the debate and by the
debaters Grace House and June
Evans. They not only told the
particulars concerning the debate
but also showed their apprecia-
ton of the friendly welcome
given them by both the students
and citizens of Gooding. The
girls were highly complimented
by Ex-Governor Gooding for
their argument and the high
school students are very proud
of these girls who have so
ably represented them. Reports
were also given on games which
had not been previously discus
sed before the high school and
the support of the school was So
licited to make up the basket ball
deficit The individual members
of the team were highly praised
for the excellent work in basket
ball by Mr.. Cushman.
The members of the class in
Home decoration have become so
interested in their work in nat
ural wood granting and varnish-
ing, due to the exceptionally goot
results which they had in their
work Tuesday afternoon that the
expect to try their newly &C.
quired skill upon some large
pieces of furniture in the near
| future.
As the debate at Gooding and
the oratorical contest which is to
occur at Caldwell have called for
some hard work on the part of
the students and the faculty, a
patry has been planned for Fri
day evening in order that all may
forget their cares and one even
ing of merry-making be INDUCED
in. Members from each class
has been appointed by the class
presidents to serve upon the
committees and the enthusiastic
support of the entire high school
insures it's success.
Several of the girls in the Sew
ing class have finished their
dresses and the others will com
plete theirs during the week.
The dresses which are in blue,
pink, and tan, are very pretty
and Miss Watts is very proud of
the work done by the girls. The
poplin parade may be expected
to march upon the first warm
day.
An operetta called "The Wild
Rose" is to be staged by the
girls of the high school in the
near future. 1t is under the di-
rection of Mrs. Wetherell. The
Boys Glee Club will give several
selections between acts. The
beautiful music and the diligen
work of those taking part are
certain to make the production
very successful.

CANADIAN DRAFT
FOR 20 TO 45 AGES
Bill introduced in House of Commons BY
Sir Robert Volunteering
Has Fallen Off, He Says.

Ottawa, Ont, June ia bill for com
! pulsory military service by Canadians
! between the ages Of 20 and As years wa;
presented in the House OF Commons yes
| terday by Sir Robert Borden. The pre-
mier said that on Jan. L. 1915, he had
authorized the enlistment of 100000 mer
| for overseas service and the offer wa:
taken as pledge that the number would
be raised Under the voluntary system
more than 100000 men had been raised
and their services had brought cheer to
the British and glory to Canada, he de-
clared. Lately the number of men vol
unteering had fallen off, while the de.
mand for men had increased, Sir Robert
explained.
To date Canadians had suffered casual
ties to the number of 10000. In April
and May last, ll,790 men had been en-
listed in Canada, while there had been
1892 casualties among Canadians at the
front. There were under arms enough
Canadians to supply reinforcements for
sons he could not say how long.
But during the next seven months to
keep four Canadian army divisions in
the field the enlistment OF 10000 men
was needed, and TO keep five divisions in
the field $4,000 men were needed, he
pointed out. There was a greater num-
Der of suitable men in Canada. 1t had
been decided they should be brought TO
arms by compulsion. All Canadians, un-
der a law which had been on the statute
books for 40 years, were liable for the
defense of the country and liable to be
sent abroad If the government decided
that in defending the country they should
fight beyond its boundaries. To-day the
first line Canadian defense was in the
North sea with the British fleet and in
the trenches of France with the Canadian
divisions. When the Canadians at Ypres
barred the Germans from Calais at Ipres
%, 1916, they barred the way also to
London. TO Halifax and to Montreal.
Il will not shrink" he declared, "from
the determination to support and main
tain the Canadian troops at the front.
They have seen their friends and com
rades gasping in torture from poison gas.
They have seen their friends struck
down; they have grimly held trenches
under enemy artillery when we lacked
guns and ammunition; they swept the
height of vimy ridge; they went forth
splendid in their youth. They will come
back. determined men who not once or
twice. but so times have gone over the
parapet to seek their rendezvous with |
leath. II what is left of 100000 such !
men come back 10 Canada with fierce re- |
sentiment in their hearts, conscious that |
hey have been deserted and betrayed,
low shall we face them when they ask |
he reasony am not so much concerned |
or the day when this bill becomes law
Is for the day when these men return,
{ il is denied"

JOY RIDE ENDED
IN BETHEL; YOUTH
WAS ARRESTED
Austin Newell, 10, of Saxtons River Will
Have to Answer for Taking Auto
mobile from Keene, NJ H.

Bethel, June l2.--Austin Newell, 49,
of Saxtons River, spent part of Sunday
in this town, driving ear with a New
Hampshire number, and about the mid
die of the afternoon was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff f. C. Putnam on the
technical charge of operating an auto
mobile without a proper license, his ar
rest really resulting from the officer s
certainty that the car was a stolen one,
Miss Lena Edson OF keene, y. H.,
whose name appeared on the operators
license produced by young Newell, was
notified Sunday evening OF his arrest
and yesterday afternoon with Chief w.
H. Philbrick of the keene police she came
to claim her car. and drive it home. The
car, which Mr., Putnam had kept in the
garage adjoining the Putnam residence.
was found somewhat disabled and it
was towed to the Bethel garage for an
overhauling before the journey to keene
was attempted.
The arrest was made without the
slightest knowledge on Mr. Putnam's
part of the disappearance of Newell and
the car from keene. 1t seems that Miss
Edison heard Newell leaving her premises
with her car last Friday evening and
notified the police, who were unable to
trace him.
1t is alleged that he left Saxtons Riy-
yer June 2 in his fathers car and when
ii was run dry left it unclaimed in the
streets of Keene, his father coming a
day or two later and taking it home.
1t is further alleged that Newell then
eluded the police and found employment
in the outskirts of the city at the home
of Miss Edison, with the result above
stated. His arrest was a chance occur
ence and followed his failure to answer
the officers questions satisfactorily near
Judge r. J. Flint's place, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Putnam were spending the after
noon, as is their custom on Sunday, Mrs.
Flint being Mrs. Putnam's mother
II was expected that the party would
make the return to Keene to-day, Miss |
Edison driving her car, which is Ford, |
and Chief Philbrick being free to care for
lis young prisoner.

THINK 1T MURDER.
"Big Bill" Sullivan's Body Found in Riv-
er at North Stratford. N. H.

North Stratford, \. H, June i2--Th,
body of big Bill" Sullivan, giant
woodsman, well known in the north
country, was taken from the river here
yesterday by workmen near the Maine
Central station. There is good reason to
believe that he was murdered and the
body placed in the river to conceal the
crime.
Medical Referee Charles W. Barbour of
West Stewartstown and DR.. J. B. Thomp-
son OF North Stratford performed an au-
topsy and found abrasions and welts on
the back OF the head sufficient to have
caused death. They believe he was dead
before the body got into the river, and
that his slayers took him unawares.
County Attorney Harry Z. Moves of
Berlin and Sheriff George W. Brown. who
are at work on the case. have discovered
that Sullivan disappeared from The Bal
sans in Dixville Notch several weeks
ago.
sullivan came here from Massachu-
setts, although he was a native Of New
Brunswick lie was 9 feet ) inches and
weighed 2jO pounds.

Arrival at Boulogne Was
Enthusiastically Cheered
by the French
PARTY INCLUDED
$50 MOTOR DRIVERS
Headed by a British Band
They Marched Through
Boulogne Streets

Boulogne, June l2.-Another install
ment of the vanguard of the American
army has arrived in France in the form
of $50 ambulance drivers and rs nurses
Preceded by British military band
they marched through the streets to
their quarters amid enthusiastic cheers
This contingent of American ambu-
lance drivers and nurses is thought to
include John A. Gordon, son of Mr. and
Mrs John w. Gordon of Barre, and
Chandler Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph G. Brown of Montpelier Both
the young men are Dartmouth college
students, and the unit in which they
enlisted planned to serve under the
French flag. AT New York, however, the
unit was transferred to the American
service and sailed as such from that port
ten days ago. The ship in which they
sailed was due to arrive at a French
port to-day, The contingent had l43
men when it left the United States.
The fairly complete correspondence of
the facts in the Boulogne dispatch above
printed with the facts known here leads
TO the belief that the Barre and Mont
pelier men are members of the contin-
gent which landed in Boulogne.

another enemy machine. This machine

Loss Between $1,000 and
$4,000 in SA
Adams s.
FLAMES STA7 ED
IN AJNK SHOP
Cunningham & Doubleday's
Grain Storehouse Suf-
fered Most

st. Adams, June l2.-Fire which was
discovered about 225 o'clock this morn
ing in the l.. NJ. Neiburg junk shop on
Catherine street, and spread to a small
building used by Cunningham & Double
day as a grain storehouse, caused dam
age estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The fire was hard to fight because of
the dense smoke in bags of rags in the
junk shop, but it was under control in 35
minutes, although the fremen remained
on guard for two hours. The loss on the
grain storehouse, amounting to about
$4,000, was fairly well covered by in
surance. There was loss of from ST. 500
to sl,7o0 on the junk shop the loss on
the building being covered, but there
was no insurance on the contents of the
junk shop.
Several barrels of -four and several
hundred bags of grain Of all kinds were
partially burned over and then wet down,
SO they were in bad condition.
Other buildings nearby had tin or slate
roofs and that, coupled with the fact that
those buildings were well soaked by the
recent long rains, doubtless kept the
flames from spreading extensively.
Mr.. Neiburg was in his shop at lO:45
p. M and everything was apparently all
right at that time.

obliged to give up there, gained a hold
on the horse. Mr. Merrill finally sue
ceeded in coming to the shore, and after
a time the horse also came out, but Mr.
Dyer lost his hold and was drowned.

the scene of the accident, and others
were along the bank of the river, but at
the last account the body had not been
found The accident occurred about

was given here about o'clock.

Met Barre and Montpel-
ier Delegation.

Vice President Fl. L. Folsom of the
Montpelier & Wells River railroad met
with directors of the Montpelier Board
of Trade last evening in regard to the
proposed action OF the road in discon-
tinuing the Green Mountain Express. 1t
| is plainly evident from the discussion
which took place that the train will be
removed after June 25, as announced
yesterday, and the railroad official told
the business men that possibly another
passenger train might have to be dis
continued
The government, he advised the di-
rectors, is asking that all passenger
trains not absolutely necessary be re-
moved to allow the engines and crews to
take care of the freight traffic. H. j.
NJ. Jones OF this city, a member of the
New England coal commission, explained
to the directors the coal situation which
makes the removal of many passenger
trains necessary.
A Barre committee, representing the
Barre Board of Trade, met Vice-Presi
dent Folsom at the capital late yester-
day afternoon and soon learned that the
nothing doing" sign was out so far as
the road and its vice president were
concerned The committee consisted or
George n. Tilden and H. A. Phelps, pres
ident and secretary of the Board of
Trade, and H. p. Hinman. Mr.. Folsom
straightway let it be known that people
who came parleying for the retention of
trains in this time of stress were not to
obtain much of hearing.

ready arrested for failure to register
providing they have now registered
General Crowder has nearly completed
draft of regulations to govern ex-
emption and exemption boards, and ex,
poets to lay it before Secretary Baker
in few days for approval. The general
believes no class should be exempted as
such, but that local boards should de-
eide on the circumstances in each indi-
vidual case. He favors use of some de-
vice such as jury wheel for drawing the
names. of those to be examined by the
exemption boards. The regulations will
be made public in detail after Secretary
Baker and President Wilson approve
them
A few more states reported registrs-
tion totals TO the provost marshal-gen-
