SECRETARY BAKERS APPEAR
 ANCE SHOCKS SMALL BOY
(By United Press.)

Washington, Oct. 20.-Secretary of War Bakers general physical build is such that it might keep him busy get ting into even a bantam regiment. He gets lot of fun out of his diminutive- ness.
 A friend one day pointed him out to the coat-room maid at hotel din ing room. That's the secretary of war" the friend said. Huh. Well, he doesn't look it." Baker overheard the reply.
 At White House reception a lady asked permission to introduce her seven year old son to Secretary Baker. Hes met the president and most of the cabinet officers" she explained, "but he wants to meet the secretary of war"
 "When the lad came up." says Baker, you could see dismay all over his face because the six foot six gen tleman behind me whom he thought was the secretary of war wasn't the secretary of war. But the five foot six gentleman in front of the six foot six gentleman was. He turned to his mother and despairingly asked. Isn't it time to go home

TOMMI'S WILLS ARE
 SOMETIMES HUMOROUS
(By UnItei Press.)

London, Oct. (By MaiD-Many strange human documents in the form of wills and last testaments are made in the trenches. Before going into battle Tommy sometimes scrawls few words on a scrap of paper dis posing of his chattels in case he gets gone up."
 Almost anything that indicates the will of the dead man is accepted as a legal will and the war office deciphers them as best they can and puts them into effect. A North countryman left the following:
 Whoever first sets eyes on this gets
 everything l leave,
 For my kith and kin are dead and gone
 and I've not a friend to grieve; There's a tidy bit in the bank, you'll
 find, any my army pay, though
 small,
 So' stranger, breath one sigh for me
 and you're welcome to it all."
 Curlously the young sergeant who found the body and first "set eyes on" the will was awarded the property and found tidy sum in the bank.
 Some of the wills are found to he hctltlous. The Tommy enjoys willing to his friends vast estates, automo- piles and yachts that he doesn't DOS SeSs-and causing the war office a lot of trouble. ms

want Lee 7" Because he Is industri.
GUS and intelligent, Of good habits, car

pended upon" So Richard was assign.
cd 10 assist the head ofthe large com
missary department Of that important
station. Naturally, at that time, the
facilities Of the department were be-
ing taxed to the utmost Richard was
working beyond his strength when he
contracted a severe Geld. However. re-
alizing the need Of his services in the
emergency, he refused to give up but
kept on working until he was ordered
to bed by his superior officer, He
grew rapidly worse and his father was
summoned by telephone, No means
were spared in the effort TO save his
life but, on Sunday evening, August
10, 1917, he died. His body was
brought home and, on the morning of
the 22nd, the casket, shrouded in n
flag, escorted by the boys and girls Of
the Church Cubs, and followed by the
family and many friends, was borne TO
the village church and thence to the
village cemetery.
Richard was the first of our Dorset
boys to give his life for his country in
the war for humanity Rarely have
our people been stirred by mingled
emotions of grief and pride as upon
this occasion. Yet few, ! think, really
knew Richard. He was shy except
when duty called. He was retiring
except when there was work to be
done. But those, who did know him
are unanimous in their testimony. A
boy, who often played with him, says
there were not many like him. A
man, for whom he worked, says: 81
loved him as my own son." A COM
rade in the Navy writes: Everyone
that knew him spoke of him as type
of a clean-living young man. The
chief store-keeper, under whom he
served, writes: "He was the persona
fication Of honor and manliness. He
was too full of grit to give up" The
medical officer called him a general
favorite, always pleasant. His COM
manding officer said: "He was one of
our best young men," And one, who
has lived with him always, says: 81
never heard him say a mean word
about anybody"
Such was Richard in the minds Of
those who knew him. What he was
in the mind Of Him, who knew him
best, we may imagine. Shall we not
rejoice in his promotion?

Richard Sykes Lee

DR.. MacGiffert begins his Life of
Martin Luther with these words
"Great men need not that we should
praise them; the need is ours that we
should know them" If we accept
Christ's definition of greatness, | do
not hesitate to say that Richard Lee,
even at twenty, was great man.
Therefore he needs not our praise, but
this sketch is written in the hope that
it may help some to know him better
and that the knowledge may be an in
spiration.
Richards history, being short, is
quickly told. He was born December
%, 1896, where for nineteen years he
Lived, in the Sykes homestead in the
north district of Dorset, VT. He began
his education at home and later at
tended the little north district school.
Although he had had not association
with the ocean or ships and, so far as
I know, had no sailor ancestors, he
early dreamed of going to sea. The
dream developed into definite ambi-
ton. A few months before his goth
birthday, he asked his fathers permits
sion to enter the Navy. His father
did not refuse his consent but Impress
ed upon him the fact that entering the
Navy at that time would probably
mean going to war. He replied that
he knew it. But that knowledge did
not alter his desire. So, on December
6, 1916, Richard enlisted in the hos
pital corps of the United States Navy
and was sent, as second class ap-
prentice, to the Newport Training Sta
ton. He was soon promoted to first
class apprentice and was transferred
to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. With his
own cheerful compliance, he was ap-
pionted to assist the surgeon in the
disagreeable and somewhat danger
GUS infectious ward-a task which |
many men have refused to undertake.
When the assistant storekeeper Of the
yard was transferred, the commandant
asked the chief storekeeper whom
he preferred to fill that place. He re-

Dancing and games were enjoyed by
all. Mr.. Hammond played number
of selections on the violin. Several
Dorset friends were present.
In this year of unusual prices for
everything in the United States, the
women are asked to think especially
of those who are working among the
afflicted women and children in for
eign lands. Our Dorset community
has responded valiantly to the varied
calls already made, and yet there is
another plea to come. Our women
missionaries, supported by the wom-
ems board, are in need Of larger sal
aries to insure even comfortable liv-
ing in nearly every mission field, and
our funds are not coming in, to meet
the increasing need. We are asked
for II per cent increase over last
years gifts, and the Vermont treasur-
er's books close September 18th. The
Dorset auxiliary has not failed, in
years past, to do its share. It is hop I
ed that the thank offering this year
will amount to $25 and the regular
to $50. This result can
easily be secured if all women in the
parish will take these self-sacrifcing
women in other lands on their hearts,
and give little more than usual, and
give promptly. Mrs. Angie Sykes, the
treasurer, will send in the money Sep
tember 18th. The thank offering
will come on Wednesday, the
twelfth.
