WAR LIBRARY WEEK.
The share which Vermont is called up
on to raise Is twenty thousand dollars, or
only about five cents for each person in
the State. Will you not do more than
this? To all the calls yet made upon US,
you rave responded freely and literally.
Your Legislature by its million dollar ap-
preparation for war purposes, set an ex-
ample not yet equalled by any other State
in the Union, when we consider our pop

subscribed more than your assignment
of the liberty loan. You came up to and
passed the mark set for you in your Red
Cross subscription. Your sons by their
voluntary enlistments. gave to Vermont
the seventh place among the forty-eight
States. The purpose Of this call is that
these men in all branches Of military
service nay be provided with good books;
books that treat the technical side Of their
new life; books that will aid them in their
preparation for the performance Of their
duty; books also that will take their
minds off the dull routine Of camp; books
that in the hospital may help GONZALES
cents one to become we'll and fit for
service; and lastly. books that will tell Of
the home land and for a time make our
boys see and feel the scenes and friends
at home. God books are great instru-
ments In sustaining the morale Of an
army; n the morale Of an army is one
of the greatest, II not the greatest ele-
ment that makes for its success. The hour
Of idleness Is the great menace to the
soldier. A book lessons the temptations
Of this hour.
Will o not respond to this good cause
as you ave responded in the past to
other good causes. n as you must con-
tinue to respond until America wins this
war?

TRIAL Of P|PERS
ALLEGED SLAYER
Capt. Condor to Meet Charge of
Numbering Former u. V.
M. Student.

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 17.-This
college town is on edge in anticipation
of the trial of Captain William j. Condor,
u. 8. army urgean, who Is accused OF
shooting John ". Piper. a postgraduate
at Rutgers College. last February. The
trial is scheduled to begin here Wednes-
day and is expected to be sensational.
DR.. Condon made his home In New
Brunswick and was a leader in local So
ciety. Piper, his alleged victim. who was
graduated from the University of Ver-
mont in 1916. was we'll known in college
circles and among many of the towns
people by reason of the fact that he was
working his way through college and had
been employed at odd Jobs by many OF
the citizens. The student bore an excellent
reputation.
1t was on February 10 that Piper
mysteriously disappeared. Late that night
he tended the furnace. Shots were heard
he tnded the furnace. Shots were heard
near there, and shortly afterward DR..
Condor. who had gone out. was seen by
neighbors to enter his house.
While the disappearance of young
Piper was commented upon 1t attracted
no great amount of public attention I'M
til a negro workman reported that he
had seen the body of a dead man in a
corner of the Condor cellar. When the
report reached the authorities they i'm
mediately made ar investigation OF the
cellar, but found nothing there to SUBJ
stantiate the story told by the negro.
Not until many weeks afterward was
the body of Piper found by the road
side near Woodbridge. Then the story
of the negro was recalled, together
with the tales told by DR.. Condon's
neighbors, and the arrest of he army
surgeon was ordered. In the meantime
mt had started for the Mexican border
in response to official orders. He was
Intercepted on his way south and re-
turned to New Brunswick to face the
indictments returned against him by
the grand jury.
While the prosecuting attorney claims
to lave ample evidence in his possession
to prove that young Piper met death at
the hands Of DIR. Condor. 1t rumored that
evidence is lacking to prove an adequate
motive for the alleged crime. For this rea-
son, 1t is reported, the charge Of MUIR
der made against the surgeon may be
reduced to a charge of m~anslaughter
when the case comes up for trial. The
theory is held in some quarters that
the crime was committed in a sudden
ft of rage At the same time other
motives for the alleged murder have been
limited and 1t Is reported that sensational
developments may be made at the trial.
: Since his return to New Brunswick the
Accused surgeon has persistently declined
to discuss the case. beyond declaring that
he is innocent of the charge made against
him. Eminent counsel has been secured to
conduct his defense and a hard legal battle
y anticipated.

SHOT IN THE LIP.
Dervwny BOY Injured While Playing
"WiId West" with Comrades.

A young lad by the name Of Derway
was shot in the lip Saturday afternoon
at the rear of the ~postofice by a COM
rade. The deed was done with an air
rife. In the hands of Adrian Hall of
North Champlain street. Although young
Hall had the rife in his hands at the
time the shot was fired. he claims that
another youngster pulled the trigger.
The Derway boy was escorted to the
police station by a couple of other lads.
When he arrived there the BIB shot
was still embedded In the lower lip
on the right side of the face and 1t was
thought advisable that he at once be
taken to a physician. This was done.
and the bullet was removed and the
wound sterilized and bound up.
The story the boys told was that they
had been playing wild west" some of
the lads being on the top of the hill while
the remainder were at the bottom. The
rifles were purchased at a Church street
auction.
