Your snow-olpped peaks, Green Noun
tains,
Rise in grandeur 10 my view,
Shaking their hsecy man,les,
As the soft breeze whistles thru.
The Voice Of spring is sounding
It's melodIts thru the air;
While your proud cliffs resounding.
Bid the vtIes below prepare.
Your clustered evergreen temples,
Now so icy a0d dark,
Viii battle in sunlight splendor
And reign ia mountain park.
Your beech, birch and maple,
Aud all plant lite as well
Thai dIsrobed in autumn.
Seeking repose for spell;
Have gathered from the seemed decay
Strength and CO or with which 10 array
Out from Wondering leaf and root
VIII burst into being the new greer
shoot.
And life will echo its rOseate spell
Der rocky hedge and cliff, as well,
And beast and man will leisurely climb
Your roads and paths that intertwine.
Already your icy splendor
Is softening its glitter and CLEAN;
Your sun-kissed water will ripple
Again in lakelet and stream.
All your dreaming waters, that
Meath blankets have rested long,
Will leap in strengthening vigor
And revel in beauty and song.
Down they will rush in their wildness,
Down where the mill wheels run;
Down to the open with gladness,
Down to help work TO be done.
Ann man in valley beneath you.
Or in the hillside home
VIII gather from where you replenish,
Will reap from the power that you loan.
Love for you, Old Green Mountains,
Lends charm to you, Emerald Chain,
Enhances your gorgeous old splendor
As we see you from valley and plain.
And we who trust thy protection
Have no wish further to roam,
But content to live mid thy mountains
And love our Green Mountain home.

SECOND LOAN
0VERSUBSCR|BED
SECOND Liberty BOND is
OVERSUBSCRIBED
Subscriptions $4,e17,532,3 300,
Only $685. ,o00,0 900 Less
Than Maximum.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Americans
responded to the call for a second
Liberty war loan by subscribing
$4,617,532,300, an oversubscription
by s. per cent Of the $4,000, 900, 900
asked, and only $3s3,OO0,OOO less
than the $4,000, 100000 maximum
fixed by the treasury.
Tabulations completed tonight, II
days after the close of the nation
wide bond selling campaign, showed
that every federal reserve district
exceeded its quota and 100000
person subscribed in the big war f.
nancing operation, which Secretary
McAdoo described as the greatest
ever attempted by any government.
Half of the over subscribed SUM
will be accepted making the actual
total of bonds to be issued $685.
766,150. Ninety-nine per cent of
90 per cent allowance on subscrip-
tions between $4,000 and 100000
to 40 per cent for the largest single
subscription Of $50,OOO,OOO.
"The success of the second Liber-
ty loan, like that of the first, is a
distinct triumph for the people of
the United States," said Secretary
McAdoo, announcing the loan re-
suits tonight. "It not only demon
strated their ability, patriotism and
resources but augurs the certain
success of any future loans that may
be offered by the government"
The secretary added a denial of
reports that the third loan would be
solicited in January, 1918. "In view
the subscribers will receive the
amount for which they bargained, all
subscriptions for $4,000 or less be-
ing allotted in full, and those above
that amount being pared down in
varying proportions, ranging from a
of the large oversubscription of the
second Liberty loan," he said, II am
glad to state that this will not be
necessary" 1t has been generally
understood that the third loan would
be sought probably in late February
or early March next year.

Capture of Passchendaele in yes

From behind the lines, British

ITALIAN ARMIES
CONTINUES RETREAT
ITALIANS STILL RETREAT
Forces Of Cadorna Continue
Their Retreat From Banks
of TagIiamento.

The Italian armies are continuing
their retreat eastward over the Vene-
tian plain from the Tagliamento
River and southwark from the Dolo-
mites and Carnic Alps region to-
ward the plain. The retreat is de-
clared by the Italian war Office to be
an orderly one, with the rear guards
on both fighting fronts holding back
the enemy and with airplanes play
ing an important part in harrassing
the invaders, destroying bridges that
have been thrown over the Taglia-
mento and bombing troops trying
to cross the streams.
Although the Berlin official COM
munication asserts the Germans
have reached the Livenza River on
the Venetian plains along which it
had been expected General Cadorna
would fight retarding action, it is
believed that is only in the center,
and that the greater portion of Cen
eral Won Bulows forces still is nego-
tiating the passage of the Taglianaen-
to or working its way westward over
the fiat country harassed by the
Italian cavalary.
There has been no indication as
to where theline of Italians retreat
ing from the hills southwark has
reached. Nor is there any informa-
ton concer ling where General Ca
dorna, reinforced by the British and
French, will make his stand, but the
belief still prevails that the Plave
River will be chosen for this purpose.
That aid by the allies is required
and in no stinted measure-has
been asserted in semi-official quar-
ters in Rome The Teutons are de-
clared to. have staked everything on
their attempt to crush Italy and the
allies must rush up assistance with
the utmost speed if Cadorna is to
check the enemy.

FRENCH CHAMBER
DEPUTIES CHARGE
WAR EXTRAVAGANCE

Paris, Nov. 6.-Discussion of ex-
travagance and wastage in war ex-
penditures during the recent debate
on the appropriations for the fourth
quarter of this year in the chamber
of deputies developed the fact that
France is paying the equivalent Of
S1O0,OO0,O00 year for gasoline.
The upkeep of cars placed at the dis
position of the military authorities
outside the war zone amounted to
about $5OO,OOO a month during the
year 1916.
Emmanuel Brousse, who is some
times called the "watch-dog of the
treasury" remarked that part Of
this waste was due to the fact that
motor lorries intended to carry loads
of from three to five tons were used
to transport single cases weighing
no more than hundred pounds.
Another speaker declared that dis
carded stations belonging to the
state were sold by the agricultural
department at the equivalent of $40
to private individuals, who subse-
quently sold them to the war de-
partment for the equivalent of $500.
1t also was asserted that in pur-
chasing 100000 horses in America the
government lost about $5,500,O0o.
1t was claimed that these horses were
bought in the United States at $50
to S85 head and cost S14O to $3.50
when the freight and feeding were
pand, but that the French govern
ment paid $500 each for them.

JAPAN IS WITH
THE UNITED STATES
AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN
BIG EVENT OF WAR
Effect Expected to Be Far
Reaching Upon Future Dev-
eIopments in Far East.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Formal an
nouncement today of the agreement
between the United States and ia
pan in regard to China was greeted
in diplomatic and official circles as
one of the momentous events of the
war period. It's effect is expected to
be far reaching both upon future
developments in the Far East and
upon the prosecution of the war
against Germany. In addition to
the notes exchanged between Secre-
tary Lansing and Viscount Ishii, the
special Japanese ambassador, re-
cording an agreement recognizing
special interest in China, guarantee
ing theindependence and territorial
integrity of China and reafirming
the "open door" policy, it is an
nounced that a satisfactory under
standing has been reached as a mill
tary, naval and economic cooperation
Informally it is expected that this
agreement is in no sense an applica-
ton of the Monroe Doctrine to the
Orient. but instead is rather an
application of the Pan-American
doctrine of "hands off," 1t does not
alter the -Takkahira "open
door" agreement in any way, though
it supplements it.
In differentiating between the Mon
roe Doctrine and Pan-Americanism,
officials said the former was distinct
ly national policy while the latter
was altruistic and international.
No intimation was given as to
what would be considered the "spe-
cial interest"'of Japan, but the COM
parison was drawn with the position
of the United States as regards Mex
leo. The text of the notes has been
communicated to China through the
