BOYS LAST MESS AT HOME
Treated To Fine Banquet at The
Addison House


In reliet after the serious aspect of
some Of the send-oif speeches, the new
national army boys enjoyed heartily a
banquet which the people of the county
gave in their honor at The Addison
Tuesday evening after the meeting in
the Park. The speakers at the Park
meeting, with Judge Weeks presiding,
and the q. A. X. veterans, were the
only guests of the occasion other than
the boys John Higgins fed them
equivalent to saying that they got one
OF the best dinners that money could
buy, and mindful that Higgins or his
cooks wouldn't enlist in the army, and
that the treuches would be long way
from the source of the Vermont turkey
supply, they made the best of their
opportunity.
The souvenir menu included as one of
its appreciated features little outline
map Of old Addison county labeled
Home, and picture of boys in
khaki.
A three-piece orchestra furnished
music, and when it rendered Tipperary
the whole party stood and rousngy
sang the famous song. New to some
of the fellows, the song Over There"
also soon caught on and they sang and
whistled it over and over again.
There was no speech At the re-
quest Of FIR. Leonard at the guest
table, cards bearing fine engravure of
Christ's picture and a verse of cense-
Grafton were passed to all the bows as
reminders to keep faith with their God.
When the Middlebury boys filed out
at the conclusion of the dinner they
were presented by the ladies of the Red
Cross with comfort kits and the popular
sleeveless sweaters.
Allen K. Sturtevant treasurer of the
committee Of arrangements, who has
charge of the fund Tor the entertain
ment of the drafted men reports $562.25

Register is compiling list which will

IMPERIAL ROASTFULNESS.

The Albany Journal suggests the
| Kaiser's mind is demoralized which
# saws is indicated by his grand
eloquent telegram 10 Prince l-eopoi'
concentrating him upon the Cap
ture" of Riga.
"Far-seeing. leadership and steel
hard will to victory guaranteed this
fine success" he telegraphed.
The Journal calls attention to the
fact that the Germans marched into
a city which had been abandoned be-
cause there were not troops enough
willing to defend it. The opposition
which the invaders encountered was
merely the rear guard fighting Tor
the protection of the retreatlng Rus
sian army. Attempt to hold the city
was not made.
Yet the Kaiser speaks of the oc-
cupation of the city as if the Ger
mans had had to fight every step of
their way in.
But just at about the same, time
the "steel-hard will to victory" was
reversing itself in Flanders where a
retiring movement is in progress to

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

A writer in the bulletin of the
American Defense Society recently
said, among other things, that we
now know that Prussia started this
war in order to conquer world do
minion for herself; we know in what
ba,barous, ruthless and loathsome
way Prussia makes war; and that
France, Great Britain and their Al
lies have stood the brunt OF 1t for
three years.
We now know that if they had
fallen the Prussian valturt-easie
would be soaring over most OF North
and South America, making ready
for the next, sweep; and, therefore,
that our safety actually demands that
we support all our Allies as quickly
and as powerfully as possible.
We now know that for America,
as well as for the democracles OF
Europe, 1t Is HGeIaiiS wiz
OF perish"
Now in the light Of all these facts
ask Of yourself:
"Have I so far done everything |
possibly can to help America win
the war;
sam l now planning my life and
nv work primarily to help Amer
lea win t e war---as every man an'
woman in Germany is doing for her
Or am | 'just hoping that somehow
some kind of peace will come soon :"
"Am loyal American worker
OF a moral slacker!'
