rhe Roman Tribune.

The tribunes in ancient Rome repre-
sented the people in much the same
way that the house Of commons does
In England and the house Of repre-
sentatives in this country. For a long
time the patricians or aristocrats Of
Rome had everything their own way.
But when the plebeians Tor. as We
would say, the plain people") got their
tribune the reckless tyranny Of the pa
tricians ceased. The tribune had great
power. He could veto almost any act
and nullify almost any law passed by
the Romans. Liberty among the Ro-
mans dates from the time they first
secured their tribunes.-New York

dental Deaths Among our Forces
Washington, Aug. 27.-Although
the committee on public information
announced that it would begin today
the publication of casualty lists of
the military and naval forces abroad
no such list within the accepted mean
ing Of the word was forthcoming. At
the committees office two bulletins
were posted, each telling of the death
in France of an enlisted man of the
navy. These were similar to bulle-
tins that have been issued by the
Navy Department even in time of
peace
Reports have been in circulation
that American troops had been in act
ion and that there had been many
casualties. These had no founda-
ton. When the committee on public
information announced that it would
begin the publication of lists today,
it was supposed in some quarters
that our military forces in France
had been engaged All that was
meant, however was that in such
a large number of men as the United
States had abroad there were bound
to be deaths and injuries from causes
even apart from fighting, and it was
thought wise to make these known
in some orderly way whenever they
took place.

AMERICANS TO

MEN OF ExPERlNCE
Our Troops viii Have the Benefit Of
Schooling BY Men Who Have
Been in the Actual Fighting.

Washington, Aug. 2S.--A group of
French or British army officers, spec
ialists in various details of trench
warfare will be attached to National
Guard and national army camps un-
der plans worked out by the War De
partment to expedite training troops
for special conditions they will meet
at the front. French and British
Governments have been asked to de.
tail officers. and probably eight or ten
will be assigned to each of the thirty
two camps.
The foreign officers will not come
in direct touch with the American
troops. The training will be done en-
tirely by the American officers of the
companies, regiments. or brigades
but the American officers will have
the opportunity OF consulting with
their foreign associates who have had
actual experience at the front with
control of artillery fire, bombing at.
tacks, machine guns, and coordina-
ting movements OF infantry in attack
or on defensive operations.
There will be men who have learn
ed under fire the lessons OF main.
tanning telegraph or telephone com.
munication; others whose speciality
has been coordination of airplane OBJ.
servation with the movements OF the
infantry; others who have been high
ly trained in observation balloon
work and So on through the list Of
highly specialized military subjects
that have been developed In three
years Of trench warfare.
Learning these lessons of coordina
tion of forces is vital to the efficiency
of the American troops when they
face the Germans across mo Man
Land"

the Kind that Merely Starts Something for Other Folks
BENNINGTON BATTLE DAY
How It Was Observed by vermonters
at Nashua, N. n.


A copy of the Nashua, N. H., Tele-
graph has been received here and it
contains a description of the manner
in which the anniversary of the bat
tie of Bennington was observed in
the New Hampshire city. The ar
ticle taken from the Telegraph reads
as follows
THE sons and daughters of Yer
mont, 25 in number, remembering that
Thursday was the 140th anniversary
of the Battle of Bennington, thought
it afforded an excellent opportunity TO
hold their annual outing and the mer-
ry crowd with well filled baskets and
a quantity of ice cream wended their
way to Canoble Lake park.
About 6 o'clock lunches were served
on the tables in the grove. During
the lunch Frank Newton entertained
the company with anecdotes of the
early days in Vermont. He exhibited
a bayonet taken from a rifle which
his grandfather carried in the war of
1912, a curious three-cornered affair
quite different from the thin blade
like weapon of today. Mr.. Newton al
so had series of post cards showing
the battlefield of Bennington and a
brief sketch of the battle was read.
The outing was in charge of Z. T.
Morrill, and Frank Newton and was
declared by all to have been com
plete success.
The next meeting of the sons and
daughters will he special meeting
and held next Monday evening at L.
T. Morrill's, Is Auburn street, for the
purpose Of discussing important bus
iness.'
