REGIMENTS BROKEN UP-CASUAL
TIES SCATTERED.

One phase of the war department
plan to break up state units and to place
the men in various divisions of the entire
forces Of the United States has come tc
light since the American army entered
actual combat. That is TO be found in
the reports of casualties sent back by the
American headquarters. 1t will be noted
that the casualties of each day apparent
ly cover wide territory; that is, the near
est of kin of the men named are located
in widely separated sections of the Unit
cd States. 1t rarely has happened that a
single town in New England has been
called upon to suffer more than one cas-
ualty on a single day although a notable
exception is Orange, Mass, whose com
pany in the war sustained six casualties
on one day. 1t is generally the case that
the casualties are spread over wide
land and presumably, it is so of the en-.
tire country. The reason for this is be.
cause many regiments as they left their
home states were broken up and inter.
mingled with parts of other regiments,
while divisions were also made over so
that no single section of the country pre-
There was considerable protest over this
plan. There was much hue and cry in
Vermont because the old LIST Vermont
regiment was not left intact as a fight
ing unit. Nevertheless, had the Vermont
regiment been kept as a unit in some di-
vision all of the 1000 men would have
gone into battle at the same time with
their division and the result would have
been that the casualty list of a single
day sent back to the United States
would have contained gricvously large
number of Nermonters. As il is. the
Vermonters are scattered in many units
and do not enter battle at the same time.
some of the units being on the front line
and others held in reserve In this way

Washington, April 22.--German and
Austrian women in the United States

as have prevailed for male enemy aliens
by a proclamation issued Saturday by
President Wilson under the recently en-

applicable only to women above Ia who

The German claim of 1873 Americans
taken prisoner in the attack at Seiche'
prey must be taken with a grain of salt
in view of exaggerated claims made by
the same party in the course of the Of
fensive against the French and the Brit
ish. That 1900 German soldiers should
be able to carry away 1873 Americans
after being themselves repulsed in an at
tack does not seem probable either.

RED NOTES

Every officer of the Barre branch re
ioieed at the larger attendance at Friday
nights meeting. Let's keep the attend
snee up to where it should be. It's an
interesting proposition, this Red Cross
work, and to keep up with its activities
one must know of the work in all its
branches. Your help is needed every.
where, so plan where you can best work
and then do all you can.
With the big battle raging in Picardy,
| it follows without any questioning that
the need of surgical dressings is most i'm
perative Just now, and branches every
where have been asked to speed up and
double the output. Judging from re-
ports, Barre could double her output and
then not be where she should stand in
| this branch of the work, and this is one
reason why the evening classes have been
started, so that those who are busy in
offices or schools during the day, but who
wish to help in a necessary cause, may
do SO at night, two evenings in the week.
Tuesdays and Thursdays. The hours are
from to 0 and the place il the Aldrich
hall at the library building, Where the
afternoon surgical dressings classes also
meet. Find your way there Tuesday or
Thursday night of this week, learn the
way to make the different articles and
then give of your time each succeeding
week for the same purpose.
And all the time the sewing meetings
are being held every Friday at the
Spaulding high school building, where
shirts, paiamas, etc, are being turned
out as fast as possible. This gets mo-
notonous after while, but the work
never slackens. More people engaged
there would make it easier for those who
60 every week. There is room for Others
viii you come?
The knitting, too, is being kept up and
the boys who leave for duty are to re-
ceive sweaters and socks as previously,
the approaching warm weather making
1t unnecessary longer to give out he'll |
NETS, wristers or scarfs.
1t is said that the soldiers prefer hand. !
knitted socks to machine made ones, |
stating that the elasticity of the yarn I
is spoiled in the manufactured articles, !
while in the hand knitted ones, the yarn |
is springy and adjusts itself to the. foot |
on the long marches and lays in the
trenches, when the feet become tired, wet
or swollen.
In Rutland the making of spiral socks
has been attempted, but they could not
be used and they are now being made as
