OFFICERS NAMED
At ROAD MEET

The following officers were elected
at the road meeting held in the court
house:
President--A. w. Rohn.
Vice-president-F. E. M0rey.
Secretary and treasurer-L. S. Van
Orden.
Executive committee-A P. Cheek,
Dr. c. L. Thuerer, r. w Prothero, L.
II. Hill and E. S. Johnston.
The meeting was addressed by C.
s, Willard, Madison, field secretary OF
the state association. The three OBJ
jects of the organization are:
l. Education.
2 Agitation.
3. Legislation
1t was largely through the state as
ISOLATION that the present trunk line
system was adopted, there being over
106 miles in Sank county. 1t is now
proposed to increase the miles Of
paved roads by bonding, the first
roads to be built from Milwaukee to
Madison and from Lake Geneva
through Baraboo to La Crosse. Mil
eyaukee county has completed the sys-
tenn Of paved roads in the county, but
must aid the other counties in build
ing roads through the state tax sys-
g.ezn. Milwaukee county has about
twenty per cent Of the taxable proper
ty In She state, so the amount to come
from that bailiwick will be cOnsidera-
BILE. The government pays One-third
of the cost and the automobiles an
other sum. 1t will be seen it would be
mo great burden on the taxpayers to
bond for permanent roads.
Herbert Hoover, the national food
director, is much concerned over good
roads, and has sent the following mes
sage to be used in this state, a copy
coming to Mr.. Hill at the Warren
house:
Speeding up construction of
good roads is an integral part of
government war work. Sufficient
transportation is necessary to re-
duce the margin between the pro-
ducer and consumer.

BY July 1, about 5000 road signs
will be up along the trunk lines in the
state. There will direct the traveller

"KnTIES" ELECT OFFICERS.
And Survey Year Of Useful Partieipa-
tion in Patriotic Affairs.

A record of splendid achievements in
the way of furnishing inspirational mu-
sic on patriotic occasions was revealed at
the annual meeting Of the Barre pipe
nd drum band last evening, when off
GERS were elected and plans discussed for
the coming year. The officers are: Presi-
dent. Thomas Mcdonald; vice president,
A. Milne; secretary treasurer, A. w
Cormack; pipe major, Eustace Ritchie;
band sergeant, w. B. Scott; executive
committee, William Barclay, E. NJ. Tobin,
DR.. Joe w. Jackson; property committee,
Messrs. Barclay, Mcdonald and Cormack
The report of the secretary developed
tR interesting information that the
band has made 40 public appearances
since its inception year ago. II will
be recalled that the Scottish musicians
made their debut on the occasion of
Barre's big Italy America celebration in
May, 1917. Thereafter, in season and
out, they were at the disposal OF every
movement that had for its primary pur-
pose the winning of the war. The band
men are deserving of much credit, the
more so because they have never charged
cent above their actual expenses. On
numerous occasions they have played in
more than one town in a single day.
Plans are in the making for raising a
fund to purchase uniforms.
The following towns have been visit
ed Barre. Montpelier, Chelsea (twicel,
Calais, Waterbury twice, Warren,
Waitsfeld, Moretown, Groton, Ryegate,
Burlington, Brookfield, Washington, Will
Jamestown and Orange. Tomorrow the
skirl Of the pipes will be heard in Ran
dolph.
The band has contracted for a series
of concerts in City park this summer, the
first to be given July 10. The populari-
ty of the kilties continues to grow, and
It is to be hoped that their pr.npt re-
sponse to all calls for patriotic functions
will be remembered.

STATES RECORD GROWING.
As Towns Strain Effort to Reach War
Savings Quota.

The reports Of the state director of
war savings are coming in slowly. Sew
eral towns expect to 60 over the top in
the next few days and have asked for
little additional time in the effort.
Grand Isle Is the banner county, the
report having been made that every
town has oversubscribed its quota, while
Franklin is next with only one town
short, which is splendid record. Several
of the counties have almost reached their
allotment. Montpelier, in Washington
county, and Bridgewster and Cavendish
in Windsor county, have exceeded the
per capita $3l record and in the first
named city the per capita percentage is
increasing. Some who have not been
reached in the campaign are coming for
ward Of their own initiative
Three towns having women chairmen
went over the top. These are Towns

and Chelsea in Orange county.

AT BOUZINCOURT, NEAR ALBERT;
FRENCH ADVANCED HALF A NIL E
OYER MILLION MEN
NOW IN FRANCE
Another Million Men Are in Training
and Another Million Will Be Under
Arms at Close of July.

Washington, D. c.. July 3.-Knowl.
edge that more than one million United
States troops are now in France to-day
promised to add to America s celebration
of the Fourth Of July tomorrow. Pres
ident Wilson, in making public a letter
from Secretary Baker, made known the
fact that 1,0l0,ll5 American troops had
left for overseas service on July /, a
record which in the words of the Presi-
dent "wilI give additional zest to our
national celebration of the Fourth of
July"
Despite activity Of German subma-
rines, transports have moved steadily.
Last month 1882 men were sent away.
The total, substantially enough for thir
ty divisions have reached France with
total loss at sea because of subma
rines Of only 29l men, a record which
army officials declare has never been
paralleled in history.
Casualties to date, including those lost
at sea, and those which have been re-
turned are placed at s,l65 men by Sec
retary Baker, leaving more than one
million men to face the Germans in their
threatened crucial offensive opreation of
the war.
Not alone in transportation of men
power, said Mr. Baker, is the achieve
ment noteworthy and cause for salts
faction on the nations birthday, but
adequate supplies and equipment have
gone to France to supply the million
men
Back Of the million men in France,
according to recent statements by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, stand
another million now in training, and ac.
cording to the same authority, still an
other million will have entered mill
tary service by the end of this month.
OF the total troops in France, only a.

counter attack. Troop movements are
now six months ahead of the original
program, Secretary Baker pointed out.
Movements in the future, however,
should not be slackened, the secretary
added.

MANY THINGS HOLD
UP CONGRESS RECESS
Presidential Control of Wire Systems,
Army Appropriation Bill, Guaranteed
Price of Wheat, and War
Time Preparation.

Washington, D. c., July 3.-The reso.
luton authorizing the president to take
over telegraph and telephone lines, the
Sl2,000,000,000 army appropriation bill,
the proposal to increase the government
guaranteed price for wheat to $3.50 a
bushel, and wartime preparation stood
in the way of the proposed recess of Con-
gress this week. Leaders in both the
Senate and House were not hopeful that
this legislation could be disposed of in
time TO recess Saturday until Aug. 10,
while the revenue bill is being drafted by
the House ways and means committee.
In the opinion of Speaker Clark, recess
plans had gone glimmering"
Some members, however, had not given
up hope to-day of being able TO leave
Washington this week. Tentative plans
were proposed TO hurry the passage of
the army bill, which is now in conference,
due largely 70 numerous amendments
added by the Senate, and TO have the tel
egraph and telephone control resolution
40 over until August.
Disposition Of the last piece Of legis-
lation before recess depends upon insist
ence of the administration. II is known
President Wilson is anxious TO have the
resolution passed, so that control could
be taken should the crisis arise. The
Senate to-day planned to consider a
blanket resolution proposed by the House
as an emergency in last years appro-
priations.
Agreement on the amendment increas-
ing the guaranteed price for wheat TO
$3.50 appeared likely after weeks Of dis
eussion In conference. II was intimated
that House managers would agree to
compromise ON the price in view of the
overwhelming vote in the Senate against
lowering the wheat guarantee. 1t was
generally believed that war time prohibi-
tion would 60 over until after the re-
cess in view Of the inability Of prohibi-
tion leaders in the Senate to get the
amendment up for consideration yester-
day. Hearings on the new revenue bill
were scheduled to close to-day Work of
drafting the measure viii be started i'm
mediately.

MOST OF CASUALTIES
AMONG FIRE FIGHTERS
The Outbreak of Fire Pre-
ceded the Explosion by
About Three-Quarters of
an Hour, Flames of IN
known Origin Appearing
in a Tower of the Plant

Syracuse, n. Y, July Sixty five
men were killed in the explosion of the
plant of the semet-S Solway company at
splitrock, just west of this city, last
night.
The injured number at least eighty,
Most of them are in local hospitals, but
many of them were removed to their
homes in the rush to relieve them
Many of the injured are expected to
die. At least half of the great muni-
tions plant was wiped out by the fire
and series of explosions which followed.
Ten buildings were destroyed and the
property damage will exceed Sl,000000
The explosion, which occurred at $3.50
O'Clock, shook the entire city. 1t sent
hundreds into panic. Within mile or
more of Splitrock scores rushed from
their honts to get out of the danger
zone. A fire preceded the explosion by
forty-five minutes or more.
Many Of those killed or injured suf-
fered while fighting the fire. Solvay
guards, state troopers, and others formed
a Gordon about the property.
A general exodus followed the blast.
Besides the fleeing workmen many fam
lilies moved away from the scene. Light
brought realization Of the full horror
of the disaster In the blackened ruins
were counted scores of bodies. OF the
bodies in the ruins, six were those Of
patrolmen.
Besides the buildings Of the plant, the
small homes of workmen about the hill
side and in the valley were wrecked.
According to the statement of E. L,
Pierce, of the Semet-Solyay company,
the fire started in one of the towers of
the T. n. T. plant. The cause has not
been ascertained.
Three T. N. T. plants, one nitric acid
plant, the offices and laboratory and a
boiler house were destroyed.
