Roe School Buys Liberty
 Loan Bond

October 29th. 1917 when the school authorities attention was called to the fact that last We'd nesday was to be Liberty Loan Day, they desired to do some thing to prove their patriotism of the school. MT. w. E. Tillmsn, Secretary of the school board, suggested that we buy a Liberty Bond for the school.
 The Roe people are squarely behind their school, and like all other good causes advanced by the school, the attempt to raise funds for the Liberty Bond was a success. The following stu dents deserve honorable mention for securing donations among i the patrons, teachers and stu dents: Celeste Tillman, Mattie l Mayberry, Dessie Grace Kline, Clara WiIke, Fletcher Minnis, Carrie Galloway and Thelms Mayberry.

OUR FRIENDS IN

It is gratifying for us to read' such good news as the following, for it shows that the experiences of our friends in Forrest City is the same as that of many Brinkley men and women who have spoken out so heartily in these colums:

STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE.
Company M Man Was injured on Wi
nooski Street.

Winooski. July 6,-Sheridan Nugent OF
Co, NJ, First Vermont, was hit last even
ing about O'Clock while alightng from
an electric car on Spring street, by an
automobile being driven by the superin-
tendent OF the water works, John Flint.
Nugent received a strain to one leg,
where a forward wheel of the automo-
bile rested against it, but is able to
walk. He was taken to the hospital at
the state camp grounds and the injuries
tended. Mr.. Flint took him to the hos
pital in his car. Nugent did not lose
consciousness. The accident occurred
just west of the corner of East Spring
and Leclair streets. Mr.. Nugent jumped
backward, from the electric car while it
was in motion, and hit the front of
Flint's car, which was going at moder-
ate pace. Mr.. Flint pulled it to a stop
before it had run over the guardsmsn.
The electric car. which was in charge
OF Conductor Harry Coombs, was brought
to a stop Another soldier had jumped
from the car at the corner before Nu-
gent Mr. Flint when seeing the trolley
coming along drove over to the left side
OF the street, as the right side between
the electric and the curbing is hardly
passable, while the left side of the road
is much easier for an automobile to
keep going when meeting an electric car.

NO ANARCHY IN RUSSIA.
Charles Edward Russell of American Mis-
sion Sends Word.

Petrograd, July 6.--The Russian peo
pie will fulfill their task of establishing
a republic, in the opinion of Charles
Edward Russell a member of the Amer
lean mission to Russia. Mr.. Russell yes
terday issued the following statement or
the observations he has made here since
his arrival some weeks ago:
81 venture to appeal to my fellow
democrats in the United States and
Great Britain for a more sympathetic
attitude toward the struggling democ-
racy of Russia. I appeal to editors not
to print wild-eyed stories of impending
ruin and chaos and to newspaper readers
not to believe such stories if printed.
''There is no anarchy here. There is
only limited amount of disorder. The
people of Russia under the most trying
conditions in history have given an ex-
ample of dignity and self-restraint.
ut is well to face the facts frankly,
but it is also well to look beyond surface
conditions to the true basis of Russian
development. Every phase of the pres
ent situation is a logical and normal out
come of natural causes. The substance
is sound and hopeful, if only other de-
mocracies give help whole-heartedly in
stead of standing by to prophesy destruc.
ton.
"These people know their job and will
do it. | suggest it is about time to do
away with all criticism and give them a
chance"

WILL USE NUMBERS
IN SOLDIER SELECTION
AT WASHINGTON
Secretary of War Baker and Provost
Marshal Crowder Are Completing
the Steps Preliminary
to Draft.

Washington, d. c., July 6.-Secretary
of War Baker and Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder to-day were completing the
final details of the method to be EN-.
ployed in selecting registrants for the
new national army, but the date of the
drawings has not yet been announced
The complete organization of every To-
cal and district exemption board is nee
essary before the draft machinery can
begin TO operate. The drawings will be
in Washington and the indicat tions point
to the use of numbers instead of names
in making the selections.
As there will be exemptions among
the drafted before the first increment Of
$4,000 men can actually be assembled,
necessarily more than that number of
names will be drawn on the first opera
tion. 1t is probable that as many as
100000 or 100000 might be drawn
and from them the exemptions made.
Then the first army of $4,000 would be
formed and the other troops be drawn
from the remainder until it vas decided
to raise another increment
Reports current yesterday that selec-
tions already had been made probably
arose from the fact that many boards
have numbered their registration cards
and IN some cases probably, already are
publishing the lists as required by regis.
trations The list district will have to
complete this work, however. before Sc
lection can begin as the administration
is determined to leave no loophole for
juggling of the serial numbers Ii is
for that reason that public posting of
the lists and the filing OF duplicate copies
with the provost marshal has been re.
quired in advance of selection.
The care with which the numbering
of the registration cards is being carried
out make it certain that the drawing
will be based entirely upon the numbers.
No names will be involved in the actual
process OF selection which will closely
approximate, it is understood. the Jury
wheel system.
District No, 2 and district No. 80, both
Of Philadelphia, are rivals for the honor |
Of being the first to send to the provost |
marshal general their complete regis |
tration lists. They were received in the
same mail.

ANTI-GERMAN FEELING.
Is Said to Be Gaining Ground in Mexico
Now.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 6.-Since the pro
allies campaign in Mexico was first
started by FL Universal in Mexico City
the sentiment 'favoring the allies ha;
reached northern Mexico and, during the
past thirty days, a well,defined move
ment fayoring an open break with Ger
many and the alignment of Mexico on
the side of the entente armies has devel.
oped. This has been in spite of the pro-
German sentiments published daily in
Chihuahua City and in other papers be-
lieved to be subsidized by the Germans
in the north.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement OF Gen.
Francisco Gonzales, acting commander
n-chief of Chihuahua He was over.
charged by German firm of Ketelzen and
Degetau for locks The manager was
arrested and placed in the penitentisry.
The German consul made a demand for
his release ''in the name of the imperial
government and the kaiser" according to
Mexican official who was present at
the time. .----
Tell the German consul he. the inn.
perial government and the kaiser may
all go to hell" General Gonzales an
swered.
Prominent Mexicans, men in close
touch with the capital, predict that Mex
leo will declare war on Germany within
thirty days. According to those men all
German money in Mexico City. HORIZON,
chihuahua City and other banks will be
seized as soon as war is declared, the
German boats in Tampieo and other
ports will be seized, thereby giving Mex
leo much needed merchant fleet; and
all Germans will either be interned or
ieported at once, their properties confis-
Gated. The Tampico oil fields would be
made safe for the oil supply of the allied
leets by declaring zone in which traffic
would be restricted and the mines, smelt
ars and mills would be re-opened at
once to produce munitions metals for
he allies.
"We can do nothing in military way
n Europe" said one of them. "But we
an make Mexico safe for the allied ma
ions and for their properties. We can
ihow our sympathy with the same cause
or which we have been fighting for :he
,ast six years by aiding the allies IN
very way though we are unable to as
list materially in the war"

Montpelier City Council Ac-
cepts Traction Company's
Proposed Franchise
MATTER MUST GO

The Montpelier >council at a spe.
franchise TO ' eSanted the Barre l.
Montpelier ! y IN a. Power company,
the council ,Sring in several changes
proposed Sc company, the most inn
portant of : hich is that the traction
company be allowed to charge a l5-cent
fare between the two cities, Barre and
Montpelier.
The franchise must now be accepted
by majority of the voters in city meet
ing and it would not 90 into effect until
the company has accepted it in writing
and the mayor has signed certificate of
acceptance. Because OF the infantile pa
ralysis situation in Montpelier no definite
date was fixed for special city meeting.
There is difference of opinion as to
whether the citizens will accept the fran
chise as adopted by the council, but it
is believed it is agreeable to the com
pany.
The council, through the city attorney,
George L. Hunt, some weeks ago drafted
a franchise and submitted it to the com.
pany. The corporation objected to GER
tain clauses and at conference suggest
ed that certain changes be Incorporated.
Last evening the council concurred in
the proposition of the company to allow
a 40minute schedule for seven months
of the year instead of six, 30.minute
schedule to be operative the other five
months, May, June, July August and
September.
The council concurred in the proposal
of the company that the cars be operated
on all holidays provided granite plants
and shops were open and operated the
usual hours. The council recedes from
its demand that policemen be allowed to
ride on passes, as the company showed
that Vermont statute forbids such a
privilege. The most important feature
and one that interests the public at large
more than any other was the amount of
fare to be charged. The council in the
original draft proposed that a l0-cent
fare be the limit, but last evening it
withdrew from its position and agreed to
leave the fare charge substantially the
same as it is under the existing fran
ehise. This action was taken because
the company would have under the pro-
posed franchise the right of appeal to
the public service commission and the
'itv wished to avoid further trouble.
The company had intimated that it
would be impossible to accept franchise
With l0-cent fare clause. Several other
minor points were discussed and agreed
lpon before the franchise was adopted.
The city council, deep in discussion Of
he traction franchise, found time last
vening to resolve itself into the board

lice Judge Midtown, saying:

"You are doing whole lot better than
most lawyers" encouraged the court.
Miss Lucy Burns, another defendant,
also acted as counsel. The women plead

trials, but this was refused to all except
Hazel Hunkins, who declared she did
not carry banner Wednesday. All the
women had spent Wednesday night in
the house of detention.

AMBULANCE UNIT DIsBANDED
Following Orders From Washington to
Capt. Stiekney.

Rutland, July 6.-The Red Cross am.
bulance unit 10 be known as Vermont
Ambulance company No. 25, which had
an official existence with the exception
that the members had not actually en-
listed and been sworn into service, has
been mustered out" as IL were, by the
action of the war department, which for.
bids further enlistment in reserve bodies.
A telegram 10 this effect was received
yesterday from Washington by DR.. Will
| liam Stickney of this city, who, as cap
tain of the company, four weeks ago had
100 men recruited from towns through.
out the state, all OF whom had passed a
strict preliminary examination as physi-
cally fit for the service. Forty additional
names had since been received, which
would have more than filled the quota
for the company's maximum strength of
l25.
The telegram, dated July 4. which was
the death blow TO the naturalization
of the Vermont unit, and an overwhelm-
ing disappointment to the enthusiastic
officers and members, was as follows:
"War department has forbidden enlist
ment hereafter in enlisted reserve. Stop
enlistments. Must be in national army.
Arrangements must be made to care for
recruits Immediately after enlistment"
The message was signed by Col. j. r.
Mexican, colonel in the medical depart
ment and director general of military re-
lief.
Upon receipt of the Washington orders
DIR. Stickney Immediately telephoned
northeastern department headquarters,
Boston, and was Informed. that a tele-
gram similar to the one received in Rut-
land had reached that office.
Before the receipt of the orders Lieut..
Perry had left Boston by train for Rut-
land to conduct the final examinations
for the Vermont company, the first of
which were fixed for this city beginning
this morning at the Rutland hospital.
The examining officer was recalled to
Boston.
DR.. Stickney had received official rec
ognition for his company and intimation
that the commissions would be forthcom-
ing as soon as the great bulk of matter
to go through the hands of the war de-
partment made it possible.

broom corn which was destroyed, valued
from S30,0O0 TO $4,000, was owned by
George L. Gates of Mali-n, Mass, and
was partially insured.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
Haze was first seen by Elmer Ellio :, a

steamer arrived from that city in sea

The harness shop is a two.story brick
and stone structure, about 100 by so feet,
and was built seven years ago. Its esti-
