A Troy travelling man, who makes
frequent trips into Vermont returned
to the office few days ago and relat-
ed to his fellow employees some of the
details of the military census that was
recently ordered by Governor Graham.
The travelling man gave description
of the blank which each citizen Of
eligible age was required to sign He
was describing the questions to which
the signers were required to make
answer such as Can you drive a
horse?' Can you drive an automo-
bile?" Can you swim?" ETC., when a
German employe interrupted. Say"
the Teuton shouted, DO they ask
them If they can rum"
mo, d--you, 'the travelling man
retorted, "Vermonters don't run"
Here is the reputation Of Vermont
that the young men of Bennington are
expected to help sustain. Capt. J. B.
Harmon stated this morning that the
prospects for securing recruits here
was improving now that the interna-

given Mr.. Harmon and he is confident
that when he comes in personal con-
tact with the young men of the town
that there will be general response to

All of the national guardsmen of
New England have now been called
