VIII Use French Guns
The most serious shortage of wal
equipment for the guard is in the ar
tillery. For training purposes the big
gun regiments undoubtedly will con-
tinue to use the equipment they have,
supplemented by such additional ord
nance as the regular service can
spare. 1t is regarded as practically
certain. however, that if the guard
divisions are sent to France at an
early date they will be equipped with
French artillery on their arrival there
Presumably their first war work will
be with the famous French '"75's."
Matter of Getting Across
Departure of the guardsmen for
France, it was indicated Monday, will
be governed by the shipping problem.
War department officials regard many
divisions of the state troops as Viz
ually ready now for the intensive
raining behind the fighting line in
france, which will prepare them for
heir place in the trenches. There is
10 reason why some elements could
rot go forward at once except lack OF
and the submarine
menace.

DEATH AT EAST BARRE.
Mrs. divide Desilets Had Been III But a
Short Time.

Marie Agnes, wife of divide Desilets
died this morning at 5;45 at her home in
East Barre, after brief illness, aged II
years. During the past week Mrs. Des-
ilets had not been feeling as well as
usual, but laid it to the excessive heat,
and it was not until yesterday that she
called physician. The prescribed rem
edies failed to give her relief and she
failed rapidly until the end this morning.
It is thought that heart trouble and
the severe heat of the past few days to-
gether caused her death.
Mrs. Desilets was born in ST. Helena,
p. O., but the last l3 years of her life
had been spent in East Barre, where she
will be much missed by large circle of
friends.
She is survived by her husband, one
daughter. Mrs. Eugene Bisson of East
Barre, and four sons, Auguste. Elphege
and Albert of East Barre, and Alfred of
Indian Orchard, Mass.
The funeral will be held Monday at Q
n. M at st. Sylvester's church, with bur-
ial in st. Sylveste-'s cemetery.

Aubrey Stevens Fell From Building in
Burlington.

Burlington, Aug. Aubrey Stevens,
a soldier, suffered badly sprained ankle
last evening, the result of fall from the
top of the Champlain Transportation
company's building, at the foot of King
street.
Stevens, who is a member of Company
X, was bathing with number of other
troopers. They had been finding enjoy
ment in jumping from the top of the
freight shed when Stevens missed his
footing and fell to the platform beneath.
The injured man was soon surrounded
by crowd of other bathers who were
attracted TO the spot bv the shouts of his
comrades. All that could possibly be
done was to bathe the injured mans leg
with cold water until the arrival of the
police ambulance, which had been sum-
moned to the scene. When the ambu-
lance arrived the man was placed on the
stretcher and taken to the police station,

DRAFTED MEN JOIN
TO RESIST GALL
Several Hundred Assembled in South
Central Oklahoma and Have Cap

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug 4.--Groups
of men numbering in all probably 40O
have armed themselves and were gather
ing in several places in south-central
Oklahoma last night, prepared TO resist
forcibly their selection as soldiers under
the draft law. Discovery by officials late
last night of the existence of new band
of resisters who are thought to have
established base near Shawnee, has in
creased the anxiety of state officials as
to the probability of confining the agita-
tion within the five counties already af-
fected

At the direction of Governor Williams,
who hesitates TO use national guardsmen
against the resisters, hundreds of armed
civilians have concentrated in Seminole,
Hughes, Pontotoc, okmulgee, Pottawato-
mie counties and will make an effort to
arrest the resisters.

The First 20 Men Drawn in
Washington Co. Summoned
to Appear in Co. Court
AND SECOND % ON
FOLLOWING DAY
County Board Finished Last
Night the Tabulation
of 3,161 Names

The Washington county exemption
board, appointed under the federal con-
scription law, finished at $3.50 last night
the tabulation of the registered men of
Washington county, arranging the list in
the order Of the call fixed by the draft
lottery in Washington. The list con-
tains 3,l6l names, five names having
been added by the adjutant general fol-
lowing the act of the five men in regis
tering at the county clerks Office.
The five men are: 1851, Andrew Kel-
ley Brown, II Forsyth place, Barre;
3,l5S, Arthur Caron, Graniteville, now an
enlisted man in the. lst Vermont infan-
try; 1859, Harold Cooper Richardson,
Roxbury; $3.50, Hugh L. Macdonald,
Websterville; 3,l6l, Everett X. Swasey,
Waterbury, who is employed in a muni-
tions factory near Montreal.
In accordance with an official notifica-
tion printed in another column of to-
days paper, the first p men drawn are
ordered to present themselves at the
county clerks office in Montpelier on
Wednesday, Aug. s, at 9 a. m, for the
purpose of examination; and the second
% drawn are ordered to appear on the
following day at the same place and at
the same hour. The Washington county
board has as yet received no instructions
as to examining other groups of 22 men,
but it is possible that at least one other
group of % will be called before the
draft quota is filled out. There
is some chance, too, that as many as ITO
men will be called before the board be-
fore the quota is reached.
The Washington county board, consist
ing of George n Tilden of Barre, chair
man, L. c. Moody of Montpelier, clerk,
and DR.. j. H. Woodruff of Barre, sur
geon, has been busy for eight days in
the list of registered men ac-
,ording to the drawing in Washington.
During the first few days of their work,
they put in nine and ten hours day,
and latterly they have been busy for
iozen or Ia hours.

CEMENT PAYING
PLAN HELD UP
City Council Decides to Advertise for
Bids for Granite Blocks for South
Main Street.

The city council is going to make one
more attempt to secure bids on granite
paving for South Main street. At spe-
cial meeting last night, the council in a
brief session agreed unanimously TO a
postponement on the cement paving reso-
luton and in the meantime the alder
manic street committee is to readvertise
for bids on granite paving blocks. The
compromise was effected under favorable
circumstances and the contentious de-
bates between two wings of the council,
which have marked more recent sessions,
were conspicuously absent. 1t was
thought that the failure of contractors
to submit bids for granite paving was
due to a notion that the council did not
mean business when granite was asked
for.
In consequence of this apparent misun-
derstsnding, the word has gone out that
the council will pave with granite if the
conditions are satisfactory and TO that
end the street committee is renewing its
advertising notices in newspapers and
trade journals. Bids will be opened on
the evening of Tuesday, Aug. l3. and in
the interim no action will be taken on
the cement paving resolution, which was
advanced to q second reading Wednesday
night.

Northeast of Ypres on Friday the
troops of Field Marshal Haig established

two points. Desperate fighting ensued
and the British during Friday retook
most of the elements.

OVERCOME WITH FEELING
When Testifying About Tragic Death Of
Her Sister, Rose WiIletts.

Burlington, Aug. 4.--Mrs. John E. Dey.
ette who is suing for divorce and who, in
turn, is being sued for the same purpose
was cross examined yesterday in Chit
tenden county court. Judge Butler also
asked the woman many questions in or
der to clear up disputed points.
Many of these questions had to do
with the circumstances leading up to,
and following, the tragedy in which Rose
Wflletts, sister of Mrs. Deyette, shot at
Deyette and aftarward killed herself.
Mr.. Enright introduced number of
Boston newspaper accounts of the shoot
ing, with purported interviews with Mrs.
Deyette, in which she was reported to
have given her view of the tragedy. Wit
ness denied many of the statements
which were contained in the papers read
in court And she denied that she fur
nished the Boston men with photographs
of herself, her daughter and her sisters.
To questions put by the court, witness
said that she did not know how Rose got
hold of the revolver that she used In the
other side that she WAS in collusion with
her sister in trying to do away with
John i. Deyette. On the other hand, she
said that at the time of the shooting she
had suspicious that her husband had
killed Rose because there was some i'll
feeling between them. Since the autop-
sy ON the body of Rose, which did not
change the verdict at the investigation
after the tragedy, she had changed her
mind and did not now believe that John
had done it. She said, however, during
the examination yesterday, that she be-
Iieved John had tried to drown Rose one
day when they were out in a motor boat
near Queen City park.
Mrs. Deyette was overcome with tears
several times while answering the ques-
tions asked by the court, especially that
to Rose Willetts, her sister.
