COY. GRAHAM URGES
CONSERVATION PLEDGE
Declares That Saving of Food viii Do
Much Toward Defeating Germany
Asks for 100 Per Cent
Registration.

If the American people commit them
selves definitely to the creed that Food
will win the war" Gov. Horace f, era
ham is convinced that the demonstra-
tion of the unity of the people behind
the government will serve such notice on
the German rulers that we are in this
war to the finish as TO bring "eonfu-
sion and encouragement" TO them, and
the governor further believes that when
the Germans are convinced that such is
our determination the day of peace will
be fastened and 'the fewer lives will the
nation have TO sacrifice"
The governor is unqualifiedly behind
the food conservation campaign, most
important feature of which is the drive
during the week of Oct. % to secure the
signature Of every Vermont housewife
to card pledging conservation and sup.
port of the food administration, declar-
ing that again the opportunity is pre-
scented patriotic old Vermont to show
that she is determined as ever to do
whatever she can for the nation" and
he shows that full registration is neces
sary if the splendid record the state has
already made in the present war is to be
continued.
q have often publicly stated the gov
ernor said, that we have had surfeit
Of talk and that the time has come to
act Each new day brings a new call ]
expect that the people Of Vermont will
act as a unit in this food conservation
that when the pledges are all
in, it will be found that every Vermonter
has enlisted in the conservation army.

way that we can doubly capitalize this
food conservation work; first, by making
sure OF adequate food supplies for our
selves and for our allies; second, by let
ting the world know that all the might
of this great nation is being used.
Vermont has measured up to what the
country had right to expect from the

appropriation of million dollars; that
in the matter of enlistments for mill
tary service we stand well at the top
of the list of states, while we have sent
additional hundreds of our young men
into other branches of war endeavor
This we must follow up by hundred
per cent registration during conservation

sented patriotic old Vermont to show
that she is as determined as ever to do
whatever she can for the nation. When

Washington, Oct 22-Germany has Sc

from stricken Belgium quite exclusive
of what she has gained by occupation
of the country and systematic expoita-
ton of its resources and people. Infor-
nation reaching Washington Saturday

GERMANS SINK
ELEVEN SHIPS
Two British Destroyers Are
Sent Down, with Loss
of 1875 Men
SHIPS FIGHT
TILL DEATH
British Craft Hold on Till
Three Merchant Ships
Escape

London, Oct 22.-Two German raiders
attacked convoy in the North sea on
Wednesday and sank two of the British
escorting destroyers, it was announced
Saturday by the British war office. The
British torpedo destroyers sunk were the
Mary Rose and the Strongbow.
The official announcement says that
three merchant vessels escaped in the ac-
ton, but that five Norwegian, one Dan
ish and three Swedish vessels were sunk
without warning. Thirty Norwegians
were rescued by British patrol craft.
The raiders, which were heavily armed,
showed anxiety to escape before they
could be intercepted by British forces,
adds the official statement, and made no
attempt to rescue the crews of the sunk
en- destroyers. The officers and men of
the Mary Rose and the Strongbow were
lost.
The statement declares untrue the Ger
man story to the effect that the attack
occurred in the territorial waters of the
Shetland islands. The hostile raiders, it
appears, succeeded in evading the British
watchers on dark nights on both the out
ward and homeward dash.
The text of the admiralty statement
giving the details of the North sea incl
dent reads:
1.-TWO very fast and heavily armed
German raiders attacked convoy in the
North sea about midway between the
Shetland islands and the Norwegian
coast on Wednesday Two British de-
stroyers, his ma esty's ships Mary Rose,
Lieutenant Commander Charles Fox, and
Strongbow, Lieutenant Commander Ed
ward Brooke, which formed the anti |
submarine escort, at once engaged the
enemy vessels and fought until they
were sunk after a short and unequal en-
gagement.
"Their gallant action held the German
raiders sufficiently long to enable three |
merchant vessels to effect their escape.
at is to be regretted, however, that |
five Norwegian, one Danish and three
Spanish vessels, all unarmed. were there
after sunk by gunfre, without examina
ton or warning of any kind, and regard
less of the lives of their crews and pas
sengers. Lengthy comment on the ac-
tion of Germans is Unnecessary, but adds
another example to the long list of erin
inally inhuman deeds of the German
navy.
Anxious to make good their escape
before the British forces could intercept
them, no effort was made to rescue the
crews of the sunken British destroyers,
and the Germans left the doomed mer-
chant ships whilst these were still sink
ing, thus enabling the British patrol
craft, which arrived shortly afterward,
to rescue some 30 Norwegians and others,
regarding whom the details are not yet
known. The German navy by this act
once more and further degraded itself by
this disregard of the historic chivalry Of
the sea.
"The enemy raiders succeeded in }
evading the British watching squadrons
on long, dark nights, both on their hur- Z
ried outward dash and their homeward
fight.
at is regretted that all the IS officers
and men of Fl. M, S. Mary Rose and AZ !
officers and men of Fl. NJ S. Strongbow
were lost n

season ticket for the railway. On the
same evening she had call from two
boys, the older of whom at once handed
her the lost ticket
The lady delighted at the prompt re-

shilling for his trouble. The lad refused
to accept it, telling the lady he was a
boy scout and that no member of the
boy scouts is allowed to accept any re.

RADICAL NEW
DRAFT PLAN
Classics All Men by Their
Eligibility for Service
to the Nation
EXAMINATION OF
ALL MEN IN DRAFT
Separation into Five Diyi-
sions Is Policy APP
proved

Washington, D. c., Oct. "a
sweeping change in the machinery
of the selective draft, based or
division of the 100000 remaining
registrants into five classes in order OF
their eligibility for military service was
announced Saturday by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. Details of the plan
which has been approved by President
Wilson, are not disclosed. 1t is calcu-
lated, however to do away with vir-
tually all the complicated machinery of
the first draft and to make the opera
tions of the local boards hereafter little
more than rubber stamp proceedings.
The plan was worked out at confer
ences with local and district board Off
cials and approved by the various state
authorities It's chief features are that
every registered man will know his ex-
act position and be able to arrange his
affairs accordingly and that no man
deemed necessary in any important in
dustry or needed at home to support his
family will be called to the colors unless
the military situation is desperate.
Detailed regulations to govern the new
system are now being made ready for
distribution to local and district board
members. Gen. Crowder in a formal
statement assured them that they will
be given ample opportunity to familiarize
themselves with these regulations before
the machinery provided is called into
use. As the next call to the colors is toI
be made under the new plan, this assur
ance is taken to indicate that the sec
ond call is not to be expected before
the first of the year, although no author
itative statement on this point was avail
able Saturday night.
