ficials to Conserve supply.
Montpelier. Nov. 29.-The follow.
Ing letter has been received by Sher-
IFS of the various counties in Yer
mont from Gov. Graham's office.
Dear Sheriff: You are doubtless
aware OF the fact that, while there
may not be shortage of fuel this
winter, yet it viii be necessary to
use what fuel we have in the most
economical manner possible in order
that there will be no wastage.
VIII you kindly see to it that the
fuel used in your court house and
Jail is conserved? Every saving that
we can make will certainly be of
great assistance to the state at large
and an example set by state officials
in this particular must necessarily
have its influence.
Yours very truly,
Horace F. Graham, Governor.

Treasury Department on today De,

Frank A. Vanderlip, President OF the

by every man, woman, and child in

US. MUST SEND
MORE MEN TO WAR
SENATOR WARNS
Reed Sees Need For Greater
Sacrifice; Would Train
Boys of the Nation

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Warning
that the United States must prepare
to assume further burdens to win
the war was given in the Senate by
Senator Reed in vigorously opposing
as a trust scheme the Webb export
combination bill, which President
Wilson, in his recent address, urged
Congress to enact.
Declaring that Congress should
concentrate upon great war prob
lens and defer considering of such
legislation as the export trade meas
ure, the Missouri Senator said that
with Russia out of the war and Ru-
mania also gone" the enemy,
numerically, is now superior i'll man
power.
Although an opponent of army
conscription, Senator Reed predicted
that new draft levies probably would
be necessary and urged military
training for youths between eighteen
and twenty-one for coast defense
work. Invasion of America, he as
serted, was not beyond the realms
of possibilities should other allied
powers fall beside Russia, Rumania
and Serbia
The Webb bill was denounced by
tDCuibOl INSSu dS III lllS
Sherman antitrust law at behest of
trusts and monopolies and a pro-
posed legaliZing of illegal combina-
tions which would encroach on con-
sumers abroad, and increase domes-
tic prices.
'It repeals," he said, "every ves-
tige of that system of antitrust stat
ues built up during twenty eight
years by the Federal Government so
far the Sana nnnIU IN rom
with foreign powers. 1t is intended
to directly legalize the creation of
combinations and trusts to control
every foreign market in which the
American citizen may seek to sell
his goods Indirectly it will enable
these same combinations to control
the domestic markets, because con-
troll of the price of the surplus that
goes abroad to find a market con-
trolls the price of the home product.
This legislation has the enthusiasts
tic support of the allied trusts of the
United States, together with their
servants, agents, employees and SYM
pathizers. 1t will be supported by
every newspaper that believes in the
control of big business, which re-
CARDS every effort to control or cir
cumscribe the powers of capital as
undesirable and dangerous.
THE second outstanding fact is
that this system of laws, which had
for their purpose the preservation
of free and open markets for the
American people and which were
commonly known as the trust stat
utes, which were originally passed
by the Republican party on the sec
ond day of July, 1889, and during
the intervening years have been fire.
quently amended and laboriously
construed until they have become a
great code of virile laws behind
which honest business can take ref
uge, are sought to be disemboweled
during Democratic administration
and at time. when the clouds and
anxieties of war have distracted at
tention of the country from any leg
islation except that pertaining to
the pending conflict"
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, also
opposed the bill as q virtual repeal
of foreign trade combination provi-
sions of the Sherman law.

Cannot Trust Memory
to Keep Dates Correctly

Memory plays odd tricks. At the
time important events occur they
make such deep impressions that it
would seem impossible for them to
be forgotten in any degree. Yet
dates, names and places often slip
the memory. A diary prevents mis-
takes by recording essentials in their
proper relative places at the time
and scene of action. Old diaries long
since laid away have been frequent
1y used as conclusive evidence in
court. Since the war began every
body realizes the Importance of keep
ing permanent records to give in lat
er years as many individual expert
ences as possible.
OF equal importance is the study
of French, which language is of
more importance than ever before.
To meet the demand for and to en-
courage the keeping of permanent
records and gaining knowledge of
French and newspapers are supply

Diary and English French Diction-

Game of Shipping
Highly Popular
With IT. s. Troops

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 3.-Some Of the Amer
lean soldiers who have just been re-
lieved after service in the trenches
had thrilling stories to tell on re-
especially, German Shippers became
active. Bullets went singing over
head. American infantrymen were
told of to attend to any sniper who
became active and more than one Of
them will snipe Americans no more.
This same of shipping the sniper
was highly popular. The only COM
plaint heard today was that there
was not enough rife shooting to sat-
isfy the infahtrymen. Several Of the
soldiers said they went out to fight,
but did not get enough. There Is
no scarcity Of expert rifemen when
a sniper starts in.
"A colonel had an exciting expert
ence when the Germans nearly got
the range OF an observation post IN
which he and his aide were. They
lost no time in taking temporary
cover.
The artillery on both sides was
rather more active during the last
days In which the first contingent OF
Americans was in the trenches. The
Germans shelled the back areas and
approaches. putting shrapnel and
high explosive shells in the direction
OF the trenches and battery posi-
tions. Aside from Iivening things
for a while, nothing was &C lpliah-
ed by the enemy.

Will RESTRICT
Use OF COAL
Industries Will Be CLASH
fed in Order of Their
Importance

Washington. Nov. 3.-Resolutions
designed to restrict the use Of coal
in industries considered non-essen-
tial to the conduct of the war will
be put into force soon by the fuel
administration. The plan under con-
sideration provides for a classified
ton of industries in the order Of
their Importance and the issuance of
a general order to coal producers
directing them to supply first manu-
featuring plants engaged in war
work.
Domestic consumers will be sup
piled ahead Of all industries and the
regulations will contain special
provisions for taking care of their
requirements.
An upward revision of coal prices
for mines which contain unusually
thin veins and for mines in the hands
of receivers to permit them to oper-
ate at a profit, is probable within a
few days.
