MONTPELIER
Former Montpelier Seminary Student
Killed in War June IS.

Myers Tuttle has received a letter
from British military authorities mott
flying him that his cousin, Mr.. Pelky
was shot in action June Is. Montpelier
people may remember the soldier as the
young man who attended Montpelier
seminary for short time about two
years ago, also being employed in the
Farrar restaurant. Mr.. Pelky enlisted
in the English army about two years
ago and had not been wounded before
having written month ago that he was
''dodging" bullets and hoped to contin-
ue to do SO until the end of the war.
Yesterday was very quiet Fourth of
July in Montpelier, the usual large num-
Der of people spending the holiday at
various camps and on auto trips and
small boys kept off the streets be-
cause Of the infantile paralysis epidemic.
The usually noisy celebration the might
before" was lacking, only an occasional
small cracker breaking the silence. Chief
of Police Connolly had four special po-
licemen on duty during the night, but
they were not called upon to do any
extraordinary work. The Buzzell store
on Main street started to sell fireworks
early in the evening in spite OF the city
council action forbidden such sale until
a. m, but the store was promptly
closed when the chief OF police called
on the proprietor. No accidents were re-
ported during the day.
Mrs. C. A. Lang of Langdon street was
in a slight automobile accident yester
day forenoon, her Hudson touring car
which she was driving colliding with an
other big machine near Middlesex vii
lage. Mrs. Lang was proceeding in the
direction of Burlington and met the other
machine in narrow stretch of road.
Each car was slightly damaged but both
were able to proceed after assistance had
been procured to drag them apart.
Chief Master at Arms Charles Mitch
ell, who has been in charge of the local
naval recruiting station for the past
three months, was married in New York |
the latter part of June to Miss Lucy /
Cullen. Mr.. and Mrs Mitchell returned |
to Montpelier last evening. The mar
rage was surprise to friends of Mr..
Mitchell, who went away on a furlough
two weeks ago.
Assistant Superintendent G. w. Groom
of the Central Vermont railroad said
Tuesday that the sleeper which Montpel-
Ter and Barre boards of trade had asked
the railroad to run from Montreal and
Barre to Boston by way of White River
junction will not be placed in service
because the Boston & Maine took off its
sleeper to reduce the weight of trains in

QUEEN MARY
 FOOD CLERK
Sells Supplies to Poor of East London Over Communal Kitchen
 Counter

LONDON, July 12, (Mail Cores pondence) .-Quuen Mary and Princess Christian had a busy time a few days ago serving out meat pies, soup, ham and other eatables behind the counter of a communal kitchen in one of the poorest districts of London.
 They kept up a running conversa- ton with the poorly dressed children who came along in numbers to get the cheap food which is provided in these kitchens at cost.
 "What do you want, my little fel- low?" asked the queen of one small boy who planked down his plate on the counter.
 "Two penn'orth of am lady," was the reply.
 Queen Mary handed out the ham and stuck the ticket on a spike in quite a business-like fashion.
 Owing to the recommendation of the queen, there was run" on pies.
 The average price of the ten arti- cles on the menu was two pence and the royal servers disposed of a large quantity before handing the distribu- tion over to others.

NUNS WASH FOR
 SEA SAMMIES
Laundry From American Flotilla Sent to Convent Near British
 Base

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS, BRITISH WATERS, July 15, (Mail Correspondence) ).-Cloister nuns, in a home for Sisters of the Good Shep- her near the base from which the American fotiilas are operating against German submarines, have been doing a thriving laundry business among the bluejackets. Through the intercession of two of their devoted women friends with the American consul and Vice-Admiral Sims, the nuns obtained permission to receive any work the American naval men Were willing to turn over to them. When the jack tars learned that this was virtually the only means of sup port the secluded women had, they at once showed an eagerness to aid. As a result, there has been a growing laundry list each week.
 Although the nuns have been devot- ing many hours daily to this work, they never see the young Americans who have been so generous in their patronage. The laundry is sent to the convent in motor launches from the American destroyers as they return from patrol duty. The bluejackets de- clare the work is such as to make the modern American laundryman envious and prices are considerably lower than on the other side of the Atlantic.

WILD SHEEP SEEN
 FROM U. $. K. K. TRAIN

Trainmen on the "Sourdough," the train which runs from Anchorage to King River, have brought in reports of seeing numerous mountain sheep between Palmer canyon and King Riv- CT. The sheep are on the oposite side of the river from the railroad. The animals cannot be shot at present as it is closed season and they are appar- ently taking advantage of the protec- tion to feed close to the settlements.

STOP HABIT OF TRESPASSING
Natural Outcome Of Guarding Tracks
and Bridges by Armed Forces
of United States.

The Railway Gazette predicts that
side issue of war conditions Will be Il
decrease of the habit of trespasSinS on
railroad property. This will be a nat
ural outcome of the guarding of tracks
and bridges by the armed forces of the
United States for the purpose OF pre-
venting wilful interference with trans
portation. There has always been great
danger to treSpassers on railway prop
erty. In the months of July, August
and September, 1916, the number OF
persons killed in accidents resulting
from the operation Of trains In the
United States was 2,7S1, and of these
1912, or 54.4 per cent were treSpaSsers'
| The number Of trcspaSserS Killed was
three times as large as the number OF
railroad employees who lost their lives
| in the same way. Yet trespaSsinE per-
sisted. 1t is highly probable, however
that the risk of danger from shooting
will deter many from trespasSing who
