torial writer of Golfers. We have prob
ably Numbered just as badly as he does
in the foregoing, but it seems worse in
the columns OF a paper that aims to be a
national publication. Vermont is little
mountain state and win go right ahead
doing business in spite of falsehoods cir
culated from lack of knowledge and not
from malice.
We don't expect Golfers to do Yer
mont justice, but just to give it chance
we will repeat the story as shown by
the official figures of the war department
and therefore surely not colored in the
interest of Vermont.
OF the entire As states of the union,
Vermont ranked seventh from the top in
its number of volunteer enlistments in
proportion to population. The state of
Kentucky was in 33d place and the great
state of New York was down in 10th po-
sition.
Breathitt county, Kentucky, had fine
record, but Windham county, Vermont,
had one precisely as good, furnishing
more than its quota and escaping the
draft Chittenden county, Vermont, with
a population of 10000 had to furnish
only 80 men under the draft and the
largest number required from any dis
trict in Vermont was only 20S
Golfers should look up the facts be-
fore it libels state, even little old YER
mont 1t should not allow itself to be
misled by an untruthful paragraph that
was generally circulated couple Of
months ago, but utterly disproved by the
war department call under the draft

the honor to correct their misstatement

Another Ignoramus.

Golfers Weekly, which used to be q
well known publication, has an editor
apparently, who resembles a country
newspaper editor in one respect--He
writes on subjects on which he has nc
correct information. The following is a
recent exploitation of his ignorance:
"A new roll of honor is forming now.
Always, and listed on it are the many
districts exempt from this first draft be-
cause of over enlistments already made.
White county, Indiana, on the Tippe-
canoe river, is there and so are other
American settlements all the way west
from the state of Maine, but the leader,
as far as we know, is of the dark and
bloody ground Probably most of us
have never considered Breathitt county,
Kentucky, a model rural community for
the rest of the country to pattern after,
but it certainly has merit now Breath
lit was due to furnish 1872 men, but 2l2
had enlisted in the regular army before
the numbers were drawn That bunch of
PIP was over twice the regular army en-
listments in the same period from the
whole state Of Vermont, which has 20
times the population. 1t was years ago
that Daniel Webster was answered in
the one word men when he asked what
crops they raised on the granite of those
Green Mountain slopes. Since then the
descendants of Ethan Aliens neighbors
have gone in for summer boarders and
other non military industries. Certainly
Breathitt county is closer now to the
spirit that stormed Ticonderoga and
hustled its captured powder and shot
over the mountains to turn Washington's
dubious siege of Boston into certain vic
tory. Perhaps there will finally prove to
be no fundamental difference after all.
Eden Mills and Starksboro ought to
stand as straight in the national lineup
Is any Peartree or Crocketteville. When
1nce in the game, the cockney clerks of
London town fought as hard as the dour-
,st Highlander that ever dropped down
he hills into Inverness. If it were not
10. our civilization would have been con /
Iuered before this. But there must be ,
proud hearts in Breathitt county these
laws, for her sons have shown the way"

the children stolen by the Germans was
a beautiful and healthy little girl of four
years. who was promptly adopted by

BRITISH STOP BUYING HOGS.
Canadian Market Dealt Severe Blow by
Move-Chicago Affected.

Montreal Aug 30-The British food
controller has dealt livestock dealers and
farmers hard blow by the issuance to
packers of an order to the effect that
hereafter no more Canadian hogs or
bacon will be purchased by the British
government. The effect of this on the
packing industries of Canada is appar-
ent when it is recalled that last year
the export of bacon to Great Britain
was over 200,0O0,00O pounds. The farm
ers also will feel the loss keenly, a.
they have devoted considerable of their
energies to raising an extra large amount
of pigs this spring, for which they ex-
pected to get prices which would com
pare with the high prices of feed. The
news from England caused the live-hogs
market, which had attained new high
record Of $40 to $3.50 cwt.. TO break
50 to $3.50. Many drovers have stated
they will expect to sell soon at $3.50
ewt.
Furthermore, the American hog mar
ket at Chicago will be affected, as
dressed hogs in large quantities have
been purchased there by Canadian pack
ers. One house has been taken at least
10000 per week, for the English trade

pected Hourly in the North

Washington, Aug, 30.-Arrests Of in
eendiaries who have been setting fires 70
dry forests in Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana in the last few days are
expected in a few hours, One valuable
forest in northern Idaho upon which the
aircraft production board was depending
for lumber is burning and department
of justice agents say there is little doubt
that the many fires are the result of a
plot to deplete lumber resources.
Not less than six big fires are raging
in Montana, including two in the St,
Regis valley, where scores of persons
were trapped in 1910. None of these fires
are reported under control as yet, In
Washington the fires are now under con-
troll, but in Idaho and Oregon they are
reported still menacing.
Members of the l. w. w. who have
been active against the government in
the last few weeks are suspected of start
ing some of the fires, and this suspicion
will lead to arrests, it is thought. The
governor of Oregon, as measure Of pre-
vention of further spread, has postponed
the hunting season.
In Montana the situation is so bad
that eastern Washington has been called
upon to aid in extinguishing fires.

How England Saved.

In strong contrast to their neighbors
the French across the English channel
the masses of the English people few
years ago were proverbially spendthrift
rather than a saving race. But the great
war has wrought change.
In the year 1916 although purchasing
billions of dollars of war bonds the
small savings banks depositors in Eng
land increased their deposits over $780,
100000.
1t was patriotism that started this
great change in the people of the nation.
The English people started saving their
money because they saw that it meant
saving England But thrift and economy
begot thrift and economy. They econo-
mized and saved for their own sake as
we'll as for England's sake. Not only did
they save money but they economical in
than 100000 English workers were pur-
chasers, out of their savings, in the sec
ond great war loan of Great Britain, and
100000 subscribed to their last war
loan.
The question whether the civilian pop
ulation should economic and do without
certain things or the soldiers and sailors
be denied things necessary for their eff
fectiveness and safety was answered in
no uncertain or unpatriotic way by the
masses Of the English people. They did
their bit in financing their country.
Neither in ability nor in patriotism are
the American people second TO the Eng
fish or the French or the German or any
other nation. The Liberty loan is At
once an appeal and a pride II appeals

portunity to serve their country.

AMMUNITION COLUMN Is
VERMONT ORGANIZATION
Probably Largest Body of vermonters

Westfeld, Mass, Aug. 30.-Not all OF
the 1900 taken from Fort Ethan Allen
are at Westfeld Company A and Com
pany T. and two other companies are re-
ported to be at birmingham, Mass,
while quite few are said TO ne at
Mantle, Conn, including Company c.
The Vermont boys at Westfeld are
largely in the ammunition column OF
the Goth division. The ammunition col
umn is made up Of a35 men and ~ off
GERS. Some of the officers of the column
iokingly referred to 1t as "the truck
mems union" of the 20 division.
The duty Of the ammunition column
is to handle the ammunition, arms, etc,
and it is said that the Vermont boys
were picked for this service because of
their husky appearance The service is
considered desirable branch
OF the 935 men in the column sos
and most of the officers are Vermonters.
The other 240 men are from the Massa
chusetts coast artillery. The column will
be commanded by Lieut.. Col. Kevelle

jor Ashley of Vermont and Major King
of Massachusetts,.
The outfit of the ammunition column
includes $50 motorcycles with side-cars,
100 horses and $50 mules, wagons, auto
mobiles, etc.
Major Ashley stated Tuesday that
while all the officers regretted that the
Vermont troops were separated the men
of his command were fortunate in be-
ing combined with the Massachusetts
coast artillery who are an unusually fine
lot of young men. Col. keyelle has not
vet arrived at Westfield.
A few of the Vermont soldiers at
Westfeld are not in the ammunition
column, but are attached to machine
gun company which is part of the
18th division.
An ammunition column is composed of
seven companies and the companies are
numbered instead of known by letter.
II looks now as though this ammuni |
ion column will be the most nearly a
Vermont organization of any in the |
lrmy. Company is commanded by

Washington, Aug. so.-Be good to
the mess sergeant
When you get TO your cantonment
camp to be made over into soldier be
good TO him. for he will be lord high
commissioner of your stomach and every
thing that goes into IL.
He will be the arbiter of your cpicu-
rean fate and when, on entering the mess
tent, you see him standing there in all
his glory and fresh white coat, tug
the forelock and scrape the foot to him,
for he is more absolutely dictator of
your food than Herbert c. Hoover will
ever be.
He is the chief cook. He buys every
bite you eat. He writes the bill Of fare
and dictates how you shall be fed. He
sees that your vegetables are properly
cleaned before they're cooked. He fights
your battles with the butcher to see that
you get good meat He haggles with
the hucksters to see that you get good
green stuff. He gives the first and sec
ond cook, the dining room orderly and
the three cooks police their orders He
runs the whole shebang for you and 90
other rockies like you. He works hard
for you, all day long and sometimes far
into the night
And so, If he checks up the plates and
spoons and things and finds you've lost
a couple and charges you for them out
of your pay don't grumble. He has to-
do that.
Above all don't get gay with him on
any account. He is responsible for your
orderly conduct in the mess hall. He's
there TO see that you arrive in the prop
err quiet and orderly manner, with your
uniform neat and clean. He looks you
over and if your hands are soiled or
your face unelean, he sends you kiting
back TO fix yourself up, just as mother
used to do. He sees that you sit proper
" at the table, quiet and orderly, until
your food is passed to you. He won't
stand any restaurant rough stuff, if
you are in the habit of pulling any
Loud talking and unnecessary noises will
bring him down on You
He'll see that you follow Hoover's ad |
rice about not wasting your food, too |
He's an apostle of the clean plate if there
,ver was one. II you take more on your
,late than you can eat he'll report you.
You're welcome to all you want to eat,

Chicago Mayor Causes Much
Uneasiness to Loyal
Citizens

Chicago, Aug 3o.--Alayof Thompson
caused uneasiness to loyal citizens again
yesterday. His latest utteranee, not al
together consistent with the govern.
ment's war aims, forecast agitation in
favor of keeping the drafted men at
home. He predicted that the selective
service army would never reach France.
The department of justice, II was
learned yesterday, is taking more than
a casual interest in the assertions of
Mayor Thompson. Copies of the Repub-
lican, his Official organ" are being
mailed each week, II was said, to the
postofiice authorities and the attorney
general at Washington.
"The people, the first time they arc
given an opportunity to vote said
Mayor Thompson, bringing his fist down
on his desk, will express themselves
SO emphiatically that there will be no
doubt about keeping the conscripted sol
diers at home.
Like Washington and Lincoln, be-
lieve that real patriots should stand for
one country and one flag.
Prepare this country against inva-
sion.
Conserve our foodstuffs for our own
people, so that there will be ample,
wholesome food within the reach of
those of humblest means.
Keep our conscripted soldiers on our
own soil for our own use.
''Send no one to foreign trenches
without his consent"
The mayor then hurled the term
dollar patriots" at those who call him
traitor.
Il notice that 1t is the dollar patriots
he asserted.
What do you mean by dollar patr-
ots'f" he was asked.
"The fellow who is screaming patriot
ism because he is making money out of

they will lessen his chances to make |

Against Royal Arcanum, This Time By
New Hampshire Men.

Boston, Aug. 30.-Arthur F. Cummings
and James F. Upstone, both of Nashua,
n. H., yesterday filed bill in equity in
the United States district court here,
asking for the appointment of receiver
for the Royal Arcanum, a fraternal in
surance order, on the alleged ground that
its funds had been impaired by doubtful
investments and the loss of large num-
Der of members. The bill charges that
the order has become hopelessly insol-

to meet its obligations.
The bill filed by Cummings and Up
stone is the second receivership proceed
