APPEALS FOR
BARTON RECRUITS.
Lieutenant Borella of Co. L Speaks at
Patriotic Mass Meeting. Vet
eran of Two Wars Speaks

At hastily called mass meeting or
Barton citizens last evening IN Alum
nj hall, Lieutenant Borella OF Co. Il
made an appeal for recruits for the
company which has been depleted by
the recent medical tests as told In an
other place in this paper.
He said that In 1861 Vermont sent
IT regiments TO the front In less than
one year from the time the call for
volunteers was made. At the present
rate of volunteering In the state the
story would be different now The
call now is for unmarried men only,
from 18 to 45 years of age and they
enlist for the war period only.
Lieutenant Borella drew applause
whein he referred TO the cause OF
1861 being the emancipation of the
slaves of one nation but the cause to-
day is the emancipation OF the world
from autocracy.
In his final appeal for recruits no
one came forward but Lieutenant
Borella said, ''We have lost the only
boy from Barton in the company
(Howard Dutton) because his feet
were a bit too fiat, but ] know one
who viii go from Barton, anyway"
The necessity of this remark and the
fact that there was today no Barton
man in the only Orleans county vol
unteer company, hardly correspondent
to the enthusiasm the large audience
present showed. He predicted con-
scription and asked what young man
wanted to wait to be drafted and per-
haps sent into strange regiments
when ne can now enlist and be with
Orleans county men. He said two
men walked 20 miles from Eden to
Newport to enlist
Supt. G. L. Erwin presided and the
band furnished music previous TO the
meeting.
Howard Dutton also spoke and
thanked the Barton people most
heartily for what they did for the
company when they went through
the town on the way to Fort Ethan
Allen He said the captain spoke of
it, and urged writing to the boys and
doing the little things which meant
so much to them.
Rev. w. A. Warner spoke of the
great number of men furnished in
1861 by Vermont-one in every ten
and predicted that Vermont would
not fall back now. He also lvened
the meeting with few humorous
stories
Joseph Pittaway of Melrose, Mass,
was another speaker He is a veter-
an OF two English wars and has two
sons In the present war. He was a
sharp-Shooter IN the Boer war, and
volunteered for this war, but said the
age he gave did not correspond with
the color of his hair and he was re-
jected. He was IN England last Aug
ust and spoke very interestingly. Mr.
Pittaway said this war was In no
sense a war by any nation, unless it,
was Germany, for territory, and the
call was a serious one

Barton Citizens Drill.

Alumni hall was we'll filed with
men, Friday night, as the result of
the effort of the Barton Improvement
club TO start a military drill for our
citizens.
An organization was perfected by
electing c. E. Hamblet permanent
chairman with power to appoint as
sistantS as necessary.
Well toward 100 men stepped into
line when Prin. +. j. Bates called for
drill lines and some preliminary steps
were learned. Another drill will be
held at the same place, Friday even
ing and from the enthusiasm already
shown, the number will increase
rather than decrease and some really
valuable work will be accomplished
in creating a patriotic spirit among
our people.
The Monitor is glad to find that
Barton is one of the first places in the
State to form a citizens military drill.

The Battle Cry of Peace.

This great film picture, said TO be
the most inspiring appeal to patriot
ism yet offered to the public, has
created a sensation in New York and
all the great cities of America 1t
has the approval OF our great leaders
and thinkers today and Barton and
Orleans people are particularly for
tunate in having it brought here. For
dates, see advertising.
Some of the special effects include:
The bombardment of New York;
raids of aeroplanes dropping bombs
into Times square; submarines sink
ing to the bottom of the sea, rising to
the surface and shooting under the
water with only the periscope visible;
terrific sea battle of giant war cruis-
ers ending In fearful havoc and de-
struction; an American mother pro-
tecting the. honor of her two daugh-
ters, at the cost of the lives of all
three; see the streaming hordes of
fugitives leaving the beleaguered city,
the armored automobiles In pursuit,
the big coast defense guns at work,
and the gigantic, long-range field
guns, blowing the American army to
atoms; thrilling head-on collision of
two moving trains; see the citizen
soldiery in their evolutions at the
camp at Plattsburg, II. Y.

STRONG APPEAL
FOR COOPERATION.

Children to Aid Government.
Wars Demands.
Editor Monitor:

Editor Monitor:
If may be allowed, through the
columns of your paper, the privilege
of presenting a matter of nomentous
Importance to the loyal sons and
daughters of our own local COM
munities, / shall be deeply grateful.
Back here among the quiet hills of
Vermont, we scarcely realize the fact
that our country is, at this moment,
at war. However, such is the case.
Because of this national condition OF
affairs, all young men of enilstable
age, are summoned to the coiors.
Every loyal son of Vermont, of mill
tary age and good physical condition,
will respond to his country's call.
When this is done, we must not
think that our duty as a state and
nation is done. Patriotism, which is
so much needed at the present time,
can be exemplifed by every man,
woman and child, in many ways, as
loyalty as shouldering the gun and
joining the military. Fortunate, IN
deed, are we to have a governor,
whose farsightedness led to the ap-
pointment of a committee of public
safety, composed of over fifty of Yer
mont's most able and distinguished
sons. This committee, with almost
unlimited authority and financial re-
sources, quickly responded to the gov
ernor's call, met and organized into
numerous subcommittee such as ex-
ecutive, clothing and equipment,
survey, food production and conser-
walton, etc.
It is concerning the work of this
aforementioned committee, which is
headed by Ex-Governor Gates, that
wish to call to the attention of your
readers. DIR. Milo B. Hillegas of
Montpelier, state commissioner of ed
ucation, quick to see an opportunity
of assisting this committee in a far
reaching maner, offered to turn over
the entire resources of the education
al department, so far as they could
be used, to assist the committee, not
only to ward against famine in our
own borders the coming winter, but
to assist in great measure, the food
production of the warning allies
across the seas, now our Allies.
This offer was quickly accepted and
$4,000 appropriated in less than two
minutes to prosecute the work To
organize and arouse enthusiasm, all
the union superintendents of the state
were called to Montpelier last week
to hear the suggestions of the COM
mittee and to thoroughly discuss
ways and means. All ideas and sug-
gestions of Importance were careful
Iy noted and plans are now being for
mulated by the commissioner and
state director, the Rev. Fraser Metz

G. L. Stoddard, was buried in Lake

body invited.
While sincerely desiring the people
of surrounding towns to come and
share in the profit and enjoyment of
our May meetings with Mr.. Hiraide,
the Westmore church does not wish
or expect to crowd out any of our
townspeople. There are in the town
Of Westmore over $50 people within
four miles of the church building, yet
scarcely one-tenth of the Protestant
population are habitual church-goers.
Eighty was the largest night atten-
dance at any of our very excellent
evangelistic meetings during the
past two years. Our church build
ing will seat comfortably $50 per-
sons and we want to see it well filled
This young Japanese evangelist is a
man full of faith and the spirit of
God. Some Westmore and Barton
people heard him last summer at the
Old Orchard, Me-, campmeeting, with
other men of national and interna-
tional regulations as great preach
ers, and they enjoyed hearing Mr..
Hiraide best of ALL Let everyone
within reach of the meetings, who
has any hunger or longing in his
heart for an intimate, personal ac-
quaintance with Christ, feel very
welcome 70 attend any and all of our
May meetings. Westmore needs a
genuine spiritual revival. Vermont
needs II for fhere are towns in Orr
state where not one in ten of the pop
ulation are habitual church-goers, not
TO say Christians. We need TO ask
ourselves the solemn question, How
shall we escape if we neglect SO great
salvation 20
