Grafton of the people Of Westmore
and the summer people themselves
such as IS being exhibited now in the
matter Of Sunday services wiz soon
do much for this wonderful place.
Without taking one bit from the
charm Of Caspian or other bodies Of
water in northeastern Vermont, VIII
loughby lake undoubtedly possesses
more beauty for the average person
than any body of water here.
Memphremagog lake does not seem
to come to the front as a summer
place as fast as its size, beauty and
location would seem towarrant- When
the new city of Newport gets fully
organized perhaps some effort that
viii start the work there win result.
Crystal lake at Barton aspossibili-
ties. Many people who have travelled
and seen much of the world declare
the setting of Crystal lake is peculi-
arly charming. The view from the
north end is always varied, giving
sight of rugged rock cliffs and wood
ed mountain. Here are scores of the
most favorably located building sites
for pretentious private homes or pub
lie resorts.
Seymour lake in Morgan has great
natural beauty and is developing
slowly into summer place that will
some day be the equal of any in this
whole lake region.
There are many smaller bodies Of
water that now have and others that
viii have a small colony of summer
people who viii find delight in them.
But the lakes mentioned above are
the bodies of water in Orleans county
that viii unquestionably be the pla-
ces where large developmentwill take
place Organized and intelligent eff
fort by the county is needed to place
our region on the summer map of
millions of people in the eastern
states.
Why is it Orleans county has no
summer camps for boys or girls j?
There are several prosperous camps
of this kind in Vermont where there
are not so many natural advantages.
This lake region which the state has
discovered ought to be developed in
to one of the most famous summer
regions of the whole east. No White
Mountain region has more charms and
many noted resorts have fewer. Per
sistent effort for good roads, properly
labelled with direction signs and a
spirit of hospitality, and publicity,
viii bring people to Us. Then with
more and better hotels where we'll
cooked and well-served food from our
own gardens is placed before the visi-
tors we shall behold q stream of peo-
pie coming to this country and going
away to sing of the beauties of the
lake region of Vermont.
Who can organize the region and
make it what it deserves to be? It
is worth it.

A party of Newport men have dis
covered Jay peak. They suggest the
desirability of forming a county
branch of the Green Mountain club,
whose duty it would be to develop the
trail to Jay peak, and other mountain
trails. Splendid! The Monitor has
urged this and believes it is one of
the links in the chain which is being
forged for making Orleans county a
summer spot without parallel. Noun
tain trails in the south end of the
county need attention, too. There are
spots near Hazen's Notch in West
field and near Crystal and Willough-
by lakes on the east side of the coun-
ty which need mapping and trails in
order to direct strangers to heights
which are easy of access and which
afford wonderful views. Mountain
climbing and mountain views afford
one OF the most delightful and health
giving exercises and entertainments
one can enjoy-and there are q half
dozen really worthwhile mountains
to climb in Orleans county.

Gov. Graham and the Y. NJ. c. A.

Gov. H. F. Graham has sent TO Sec
rotary Clark of the state Y. M. c. A.
this tribute to the work of the Young
Mems Christian association:
The Young Mems Christian associ-
alton deserves the fullest support of
every man who believes that America
must win in this war. An army de-
ponds in largest measure upon its
morale It's morale is its self-reli-
ance and its moral character, and up
on the moral character of an army
rests its success The secretaries OF
this association all over Europe and
America, are doing the greatest pos
sible work to develop this character.
They work upon the fields and In the
camps. They give to the soldier a
breath from home. They give to him
a place to hear from home. To listen
to home songs. To sing home songs.
To read home news, and best and
above all to free himself, if only for a
time, from all the temptations of the
camp. Here, in the Young Mems
Christian association, he finds his feet
and finds himself and again goes out
TO his duty, a cleaner and so better
man. If you have anything to give,
give it to this association. Deny your
self that you may give and again de-
ny yourself that you may give again.
For by so doing you viii receive back
an hundredfold. Rest assured that the
gift viii always reach its intended
home and make some soldier happier
and better, his morale stronger, the
army stronger-one step nearer to
the winning of this war

Apologies to Vermont.

Apologies are due TO the state of
Vermont, and no doubt the whole
country viii be glad TO make them,
Although the state has been low In
its rate of enlistment in the regular
army under the late call, it is not
for the reason that Vermonters are
averse 10 military service, but be-
cause they are represented so largely
in this service already. In an official
statement showing the proportion of
men TO the population now serving in
the military establishment Vermont
appears as seventh IN the list Of
states. Vermont's proportional rep
resentation in the army is greater
than that of Massachusetts or New
York. And even at this Vermont's
representation IN the navy, which is
large, is not given. And this also,
which the ST. Adams Messenger
states. is true: Vermont appropriat-
ed a million dollars for war purposes
ten times as much as MaSsachu-
sets, likewise many times greater,
proportionately than New York's eff
fort Vermont farmers answered the

Outing Discovers Vermont.
Through the efforts of John P.
Taylor of the Green Mountain club,
an interesting well-illustrated article
on Vermont trails appears in the cur
rent issue of Outing, written by Mr.
Little of the editorial staff of that
magazine.
Having observed the Outing map
which featured mountain trails of adj
jacent states, Mr.. Taylor wrote to the
editor, asking what was the matter
with the Green Mountains. The re-
suit was a trip over the Long Trail
by Mr.. Little, accompanied by Mr..
Taylor.
Mr.. Little is an experienced trail
hitter, and, while he praised Snug
glers' Notch, Mount Mansfield and
Cancels Hump, and wrote entertain
mgly of their well-kept trails, he was
most impressed with Vermont griddle
cakes and Vermont maple syrup, first
brought TO his attention by the indie
fatigable Taylor.
What DR.. Paris, Mr.. Taylor, Prof.
Mansfield and CamePsHump, the Rut-
land section of the Green Mountain
club is DOING for Killington, destined
to be one of the most important links
in the chain of trails from Canada
line TO Pownal.
The recent erection of a hedgehog
proof shelter on the mountain and the
marked improvement of the Deers-
Leap-Pico-killingto trail are visi-
bic evidences of what Rutland is do
ing.
With another summer of such work
the progress toward an unbroken
trail "along the skyline of Vermont"
viii be very important, and mixers
from everywhere viii find the trip,
with highway breaks if desired,
most fascinating part of the summer
outing-Rutland Herald.

Where Our Boys VIII Go.

When the men In the first Vermont
Infantry go TO Charlotte, NJ c., with
in a few weeks to begin the training
that viii eventually lead them to the
trenches somewhere in France or Bel
GUM, they viii be exchanging resi-
dences from one historic spot to an
other The Champlain valley is rich
IN historical lore, Of which the Char
lotte region also possesses its full
share.
Charlotte is the capital of Mecklen-
burg county where the Mecklenburg
declaration, fOrerunner of the Declar-
alton of independence, was adopted
back in IT'S. The forebears of Char
lotte folks were good fighters IN their
day, a British general receiving such
warm reception there in the Reyo-
lutionary days that he declared that
il was the worst hornets nest" he
ever got into. The future temporary
home of the VermOnters also boasts
that General Washington was at one
time a visitor and tablet marks the
place of his entertainment. The Yer
monters viii find it on Trade, one OF
the two principal streets Of the city.
Charlotte has its Civil war associa-
tons as well. IF It were linked I'D IN
a way with the beginning of the
struggle for independence, IT was al
so the scene of some of the last acts
IN the tragedy Of the southern revolt.
JEFF Davis, president of the Confed-
crate republic, was IN the city when
he first learned Of the surrender of
General Lee at Appomatox, and II
was from the city that he began his
fight Another last act Of the dying
Confederacy must also be credited TO
Charlotte's claim TO historic renown,
for the last. meeting Of the Confeder-
ate cabinet was held IN 2 building
standing on Tryon street
Undoubtedly the Vermont boys viii
find much Of interest IN this typical
southern city of $4,000 people, one
Of the most popuIous and important

GUS welcome 70 the nOrtherners, sons
Of men who once bore arms against
their own sires; a breach now happi-
y completely closed The medical
authorities OF the army TOuch for the
healthfulness OF the district; the NOR
al conditions are said 70 be excellent,
with no saloons and no forbidden
district"
Before long Vermonters viii hear
more OF this southern city, when the
letters from our poyS begin 70 come
back These letters will view the
place and the people from varying
angles; things viii Be measured BIZ

PAPER FOR SOLDIERS.
Journal of News May Be Published
 in French Trenches.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Suggestions are made to the war department as to the advisa bility of establishing in the American army area abroad sol dier newspapers to furnish the men with brief resume of home news as well as publisha ble facts about what is going on in France. Trench pa pers of this character are distributed in the French and British lines, but American troops will be far from home and hear little of what is going on in the United States until Ameri- can newspapers arrive at the front.
 One suggestion is that the train ing camp activities committee and public committee operate to aid in publication and distribution in the American camps and lines in France of a daily bulletin containing tele- graphic briefs from the United States as we'll as sporting and other items from the camps themselves.

HARTFORD DEATHS
 HIGHEST IN STATE
Bridgeport Second, New Haven
 Third and Waterbury Fourth

The number of deaths in the state during July was 1,553, making an average death rate of 14.7, as com pared with 16.3, the death rate for 1916, according to the August issue of the Health Bulletin, published by the state department of health. Of these 253 died of comm unicable dis eases and 252 were deaths under one year of age. The rate of deaths per thousand births was 84 per cent
 The number of births in Hartford during the month of June exceeded the number of deaths by 1O6, there being 323 births and 217 deaths. Marriages for the same month totaled 243. New Haven led for the month with 29S marriages, while Bridgeport was second with 274. Hartford was third with 243 and Waterbury trailed along with 151.
 Hartford had the largest number of deaths of the four cities. 217, Bridgeport coming next with 1S7, New Haven next with TIT and Water bury last with 112. New Haven again leaps to first place in the mum : Der of births, with 42I, Bridgeport 381, Hartford S26, ard Waterbury 225. -<
 The need of a baby camp is advo- cated by the bulletin. It is considered by this publication that such a camp is a duty. that provision should be made for the care of infants. so many of whom must live in hot swell tering tenements amid flies and filth.
 Another matter which Is strongly urged, is that children be taught to swim. The bulletin points out that not only is swimming a healthful ex- ercise, easily learned, but that dur ing July of this year 46 persons in the state died from drowning, deaths which the bulletin maintains were unnecessary. The economic loss from these deaths is felt to be far in ex- cess of what the cost would be, of providing pubic swimming instruc- tors.

SCOTS KEEP DUES DOWN.

Hartford, Aug. 23.-After a long debate by the officer and delegates at the convention of the Royal Clan, Order of Scottish Clans, in this city this morning, on the advisability of increasing the dues that aid might be given to the members who serve in the war, and their dependents, it was decided to make no present advance in dues. Instead it was voted to au- thorize the royal executive commit tee to levy an assessment to raise money for the Scottish soldiers and sailors fund, if . emed best. A tele- gram of acknowledgment from Sir Robert l.. Borden, premier of Can- ada, of the telegram of loyalty sent Tuesday was read to the convention.

 SEDITIOUS PAPERS

Postmaster Generals Charges Full
 Force on "The Masses" and Tom Watson.
 Washington, D. C., Aug. 23.-The Masses, a socialist magazine pub lished in New York, was denounced by Postmaster General Burleson in a communication to the senate yester- day as a leader in organized propa ganda to discourage enlistments, pre- vent subscriptions to the Liberty Loan and obstruct the draft act. He men, toned the Jeffersonian, of which Thomas E. Watson is editor. as in the same class.
 Mr. Burleson declined to give more specific reasons for barring tho Masses from the mails, saying such information was in compatible with the public interest. In response to the senate, resolution of inquiry, pre- sented bv Senator Hardwick, tho postmaster general wrote to Senator Bankhead, chairman of the post office committee, saying:-
 From matter received by this de- partment from various sections or the country, I find that there is an organized propaganda to d1scredlt ana handicap in every way the govern .ment in the prosecution of this war with the clear and unmistakable pur- pose of defeating the objects for which the government is spending millions of dollars, and probably will! be called upon to sacrifice thousands of lives.
 '"The publications forming a part of this propaganda in many cases so guard their utterances as the editors think will keep them out of prison. They are nevertheless united in pub fishing the same class of matter whether it be true or half true or wholly false and are daily accomplish ing results clearly in violation of the espionage law.
 "Common among these publications stand the Masses and the Jefferson1an Their respective editors are leaders Tn the movement. Their writings ana ! speeches are quoted with approval py the press of this character throughout the country, as we'll as in circular matter emanating from the same source.
 "Publications of this class have from week to week contended that the so-called draft act recently passed by Congress is unconstitutional, and un- der the pretence of legitimate argu- ment. have actually discouraged en- listments, obstructed the execution or the draft act and prevented subscrip- tions to the bonds issued to raise mon- ey to carry on the war; t\
