REGISTRATION DAY TOMORROW.

There will be no trouble in Vermont
over registration day tomorrow. While
a considerable proportion of Vermont
people think that the United States
ought not to be in the war and that
forcible CONSUMPTION never should be
enforced, yet the citizens of Vermont
are in the habit of doing their duty.
The young men of the state will regis
ter tomorrow and when the draft
comes, they will take their chances
and abide by the result. The follow
ing exactions are well to bear in
mind:
If you are native-born and be-
tween q and 81, you must register
If you are of foreign birth and be-
tween q and 81, you must register
If you are naturalized and between
q and 81. you must register.
Ii you are unnaturali2ed and he
tween q and 81, you must register.
If you are married and have de-
pendents, and are between q and 81
YOU must register.
If you are in doubt as to your duty
register and thus protect yourself
from arrest and Imprisonment
II you are away from the city or
blown Of your residence or expect to be
called away on registration day, or are
sick. get registration card and mail
Il to tho registration hoard of yonr
city or town.
II you need further advice, consult
your local registration board or city or
town clerk.
BE sure to get a registration oerii-
hcate This will protect you from
arrest for failure to register.
Even if you have good reasons on
which to- base claim of exemption
from draft, you must register. Later
you win have ample opportunity to
present these reasons to the proper
tribunal.

CONFIDENCE IN
GOD To WIN THE
WAR EXPRESSED

why Praying People Have Conf
dence to Ask God to Give Our Armies
Victory" was used as the theme at the
Methodist church yesterday morning
During the course of his address Rev.
j. i. Patton said:
More than three years have pass
ed since President Wilson set October
&, 1914, as day of prayer for peace.
I'm that proclamation it is plainly evil
dent that our President was moved by
a sense of pity for suffering humanity,
together with a longing for the RAJ
tons of the earth to have an oppor-
suntty for advancement both physical
Iy and mentally, to ask the praying
people of America to pray God to re-
store peace.
'As believers in a prayer answering
God, we might specifically wonder
why God has not, as we term it, an
severed those prayers speedily. II
peace had at once been restored, we
as q people would have been left in
ignorance as to Germany's attitude to-
ward us. We would have to this day
supposed the German Emperor to have
been our friend. His yelled hand
would have never been revealed. His
scrcet work with organizations in
America. infdelic to our best interests
of democracy, would not have been
laid bare TO a deceived public. His in-
uigues. that we remain a military UNI
prepared nation, would have contin-
ued. while Prusian militarism contin-
ued to build up am institution TO con-
guer the world. We would have not
been permitted to know that there was
already a Prussian octopus ready to
overstep, or even break,.by violating
ll international law in order thaS
German kultur" might prevail.
Three years have served as a
scboolmaster to open the blind eyes
of deceived peoples. Many who were
being duped by adder-Iike cmrmg-
ness are now ready to give their lives
to prevent this nation, or even the
world, from having the hands os free
dom turned back. We believe it is
Gods will to give our armies victory.
AS to how victory shall come, let
Providence rule any way divinely hui
name that will overthrow this defying
monster.
Owe trust i'm prayer because Of our
lack of selfshness. Read James 40, 8.
We believe our nations prayers will
be answered from the conditions laid
down by the Apostle in Hebrews 11:6.
We are free from selfshness in this
war for humanity and freedoms sake.
We have no thought Of land conquest
FOR charging our borders. We expect
no indemnities beyond injuries receiv-
ed. We are not fighting FOR display,
The enemy forced America by cruelty
and heartIessness as great as that of
a Pharaoh to take up arms or faunt
cowardice in the face of a suffering
world"

NEWLY DISCOVERED GAS.

Thermaline is newly discovered
gas first prepared in Zurich, Switzer-
land. 1t is combination of acetylene
and oil vapor, and it finds its appli-
cation in autogenous welding, where
a high heat is required. 1t is said to
have several advantages over the
oxyacetylene gas now widely used for
the purpose, among them being
smaller explosive range. A portable
apparatus for generating the gas has
been perfected by the discoverer. The
generator is charged with alternate
layers of calcium carbide and saw
dust soaked in oil. Presumably the
action of water on the carbide is used
to free acetylene and the acetylene is
used as a heating agent to vaporize
the oil.
