SERVICES FOR DEAD
SLEEPING COMRADES EULoGIzEC
BY REV. WATERS.

Memorial services conducted by the
churches of Oskaloosa at the First
Presbyterian church, Sunday after
noon were well attended by the pub
lie and the G.. A. r., w. r. c., Ladies
of the G. A. R., and other patriotic
bodies. Special music and an address
by the Rev. w. l.. Waters of the Con
gregational church were the features
of the program.
The service was opened by invoca
ton by Rev. McFerran. Mrs. Cammack
sang, Just Before the Battle, Moth
cr." Words of welcome were spoken by
Rev .McFerran
The memorial address by Rev. Wat
ers was a scholeTly discourse, in which
Rev. Waters considered why we
fought, and why we now fight" pre-,
senting in logical form the underlying
causes of the Civil War and showing
their similarity with fundamental is,
sues of the present World War.
In his address, Rev. Waters painted
word pictures of the heroic past, de
scribed the present day events, and
made clearer the vision of the future
He likened the call of the COS to
the call today. Young men are leaving
homes and loved ones and rallying un,
der the bloodstained banner, which
stands for high ideals, Humanity and
God.
AS in our national crisis over a hall
century ago when men had forgotten
how to live together, the issue is the
same, for now, it is nations who have
forgotten brotherhood. A new kind OF
slavery is seen. 1t is political slav.

There has been general disregard
for Human rights, for Human liber-

Wichita Kas., May 26.-Twenty-

which wiped out Andale and swept
through the farming land around the
Arkansas river northeast of here

The country between Andale and
Newton was pierced by a path from
a quarter to half mile wide. Sedg-
wick, the largest town between An
dale and Newton, barely escaped

in one corner of the city limits being
the only loss.
In Andale, village of less than
800 inhabitants, eighteen lives were
lost Nine were killed near Sedg-
| wick.
The country southeast of Newton
furnished two fatalities, five miles
from that city.
The storm burst suddenly on the
| town, which but a few minutes before
had been enjoying the sunshine, with
Il terrific torrent of rain. Coming
| rom the southwest, it dropped to the
| ground two miles before reaching
AGdale, leveling houses, trees and
growing grain in its path.
A warning cry of Il man who had
heard the Ominous roar sent the Occu-
pants of the little country general
store into the basement just as the

in half and settling the roof upon the

store by the prompt dive into the Gel.

VERMONT IN THE
GERMAN BREAK.
Armories and Bridges Guarded.
Reeves Ready. Legislature
Approves Break.

Just how the break with Germany
is affecting Vermont is seen in sew
eral ways. In the first place we find
that all national guard armories in
this state have been placed under spe-
cial guard as measure of precautlOn.
This of course includes the Newport
armOry.
The two important railroad bridges
at White River Junction are being
guarded day and night by armed men
provided by the United States govern
ment. These two bridges are impor-
tant links in trunk lines between Bos-
ton and Montreal and New York and
Sherbrooke and the destruction of
either one would be a serious matter
if the rapid movement of troops or
equipment from this section should
become necessary.
The plants of some of the large
electric systems of the state have also
been placed under guard.
Another feature bearing ON the
Reeves, president of Norwich univer-
lowing message: "Should the out
come of the present international cri-
sis result in a call for additional
troops from the state of Vermont, l
have the honor to request that [ may
be considered in connection with the
first call. l would naturally prefer to
raise regiment, but if this is not
practical, then l offer my services in
any capacity connected with mobile
troops"
The legislature Monday afternoon
adopted by unanimous vote a resolu-
ton introduced by Mr.. Dunham of
Brattleboro pledging the support of
the state of Vermont to the federal
government in the present interna-
tional crisis. The sense of the reso-
luton is contained in the following
excerpt:
"The Vermont general assembly
hereby assures the federal govern
ment of it's firm and unwavering sup
port at this critical time in the worlds
history and it is the sense of the gen
eral assembly that this state proceed
at once to the adequate preparation
for any emergency chat may arise so
that it may respond to any call that
may be made upon it by the federal
government"
Prof. Anton Appelmann, of the
University of Vermont has tender
ed his resignation because of the sew
erance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Ger

by President Guy Potter Benton.

BILL TO MAKE
NEWPORT A CITY.
Brattleboro Retreat Charges Serious.
New Court Bill. Senate Works
Saturday.

In a bill introduced in the house
Monday afternoon by Representative
Prouty, Newport, seeks city charter
for Newport with the manager plan.
The charter will be referred to the
voters to be accepted or rejected. The
bill provides for the consolidation of
Newport village and West Derby
which today are to all intents and
purposes one community. The towns
of Newport and Derby remain as be-
the city. The population of the dis
trict is about 5000. If Newport en-
ters the list Of Vermont cities there
will be seven. The setting up of the
city of Newport would add one new
member to the house of representa-
tives.
Mr.. Miles of Glover introduced yes

Forging Ahead in Express Business.

G. w. Burdick, who has been night
express clerk at ST. Johnsbury for the
past three months, went to Woodstock
Monday night to become agent for
the American Express company there
Mr.. Burdick graduated from Bar
ton academy in 1914. On Feb. %,
1915, he entered the local passenger
station in the employ of C. H. Blood.
After a year and half of faithful
service he located with the express
company at Breton Woods, Sept. Is,
1916. He was promoted to ST. Johns
bury Oct. II, 1916.
1t is true that B A. and also the
town are proud to acknowledge send
ing out this efficient young man. Mr..
Burdick is considered one of the best
posted and most reliable of the young
er expressmen. Some credit is due
to our local agent, Mr. Blood, of whom
he learned the express business and
who has looked after him since he
left Barton.
The Woodstock office employs three
men and a good salary is paid to the
agent and Mr.. Burdick secured the
place against a number of applicants.

AlOnZO D. Folsom.

Alonzo D. Folsom dieo of pneu-
monia at his home, on the Willoughby
road, Saturday, Feb. 3.
Alonzo D. Folsom was born Dec. 8,
1916, the son of Dana Alonzo and
Sophia Folsom. On Feb. 2, 1868, he
married Miss Katherine Curtiss,
their 48th anniversary occurring the
day before his death.
To them were born eight children:
Dana A., who died at the age of
twenty-four years, Edna, who died
in infancy, four sons: Andrew j., of
Lawrence, Mass, William A., of
Somerville, Mass, Joseph H., and
Gilbert A, of Newport; two daugh-
ters: Eliza, wife of DR.. Clifford of
Randolph, and Eta NJ, teacher in

survive him.
Mr.: Folsom served three years in
the civil war, member of regiment
18th VT, Co. K, heavy artillery and
was member of G. w. Quimby Post,
No. 76. A man who held a large
place in the community in which he
lived, a kind neighbor and friend, al
ways ready to lend a hand in time of
sickness or trouble, he will be greatly
missed by large circle of friends.
Funeral services were held from the
late home, Tuesday afternoon, Rev.
w. A. Warner officiating Mrs. w.
M. Wright and Mrs. H. J. Stannard
sang two selections: Saved by Grace
and Rock of Ages.
The bearers were his four sons
and the honorary bearers were his
comrades: E. G. Collision, Osmond
Dwyer, W. H, Drumming and Jacob
Downing.
The many beautiful floral en-
blems spoke in their mute way of the
love for the deceased and the sym-
pathy felt for the loved ones left.
lnterment was in the South Barton
cemetery
