"REAL STUFF" PATRIOTISM
Manchester Young Man Tells Why
He Is Going to War.

The most stirring incident of the
departure OF the last contingent OF
Bennington county drafted men was
| the speech delivered from truck at
the station by Emanuel A. Kaffatos,
a naturalized native of Greece whose
home is in Manchester.
The young man has written a let
ter to A. C. Orvis, the Manchester
member of the Bennington county ex-
emption board, in which he gives his
reasons for going to war and also re-
peats the remarks he made in Ben
nington on the morning he left for
Camp Devens. The letter is as fol-
lows:
A. G. Orvis,
Manchester, VT.

red card to appear at Bennington
for transportation at Devens Camp
my only thought is how ] shall be
more useful and obedient to my Coun-

which represents the Justice, equali-
ty, liberty OF each of us, for which all
rational living persons denounce
everything that does not contrive to
that end and purpose that all of us
desire and pursue. Now is the time
indeed the evil spirit OF might which
does not consider right, to be crushed
into dust forever and the spirit of
right which produces right to be the
leader from now on to the oppressed
humanity by the iron arm Of Brutal

MAY NOT LAST THROUGH
WINTER SAWS g. n unCvA n


The road is passable without danger
of getting stalled, but for a small dis
lance you have to take side road as
the main road is impossible and bu,
Tot dry season the side road would
probably be as bad as the main road
The work is gradually progressing To-
ward this piece OF road and at the
present rate OF construction it will
probably not be finished before Sen
tember and then will be good at least
until the freezing and thawing period
next winter
Several comeptent engineers are OF
the opinion that the road as now con
struc,ed will not hold during such
period. but at least il will be better
than in previous years
"hat makes the progress OF con-
struction SO slow no one seems to
know whether IL be scarcity of teams.
men or money.
AS 1t is now and as 1t has been for
many years, /; is disgrace to the
state OF Virginia and to her high
way commission. Will not Mr. cole
man take a little interest in our vel
fare?
The writer had the opportunity OF
making close examination of the
oao stretch OF road at Chappawamsic
Swamp.
The road through the swamp proper
has been graded and graveled and is
at present In good condition. but for
about the distance of three-ouarters
OF a mile on the other side of the
swamp from heie Is an awfulIy rough
stretch OF ROAD. which. however, can
he gone over readily uIw. as 1t is dry.
but, on examining the same, you can
see where many motorist has had
trouble.
Tho engineer In charge informed p,e
that this would probably be grayeled
ana graded within the next two weeks
and If such is the case there will at
least be a temporary good road through
Chappawamsic
1t is very doubtful. however. If the
road that is being built will hold
through the winter, as there is quite
deal Of clay in the top dressing. and
the probability is that the gravel Will
sink and the clay rise to the surface
during the freezing and thawing of
next winter.
However this may or may not be
so and time only will tell
This road should be the finest In the
State Of Virginia. and it would seem
to an ordinary observer that the State
Highway Commissioner would take
especial observation of the same and
see that the road is completed without
further delay and when completed that
it is. kept in the very best possible
condition.
II means much to Alexandria, Fred
ericksburg. Richmond and Petersburg
and from a glance at the auditors re-
port. 1t would seem that the State Is
dependent to great extent on the
revenues from the above cities
Let little of that revenue be spent
