Volunteers From Bourbon Fo,
Emergency Nurse Service

The call which was issued last
week asking for volunteer emer-
gency nurses whose services were
needed in caring for the soldiers suf-
fering from the Spanish influenza
in the contonments, met with a
prompt and ready answer on the part
of Paris and Bourbon county women.
Twenty or more volunteered. AS is
often the case, when rhe call first
came the requirements were not
sufficiently definite and there was a
bit of confusion. Some hospital
training or training acquired by
much practical nursing IS now found
to be necessary for placement in a
cantonment. However, should we
have a serious epidemic in our own
city the civilian population would
find this reserve list of capable wo-
men to be invaluable.

When the American Red Cross
workshop in London received an ur-
gent appeal for 100000 1rst-aid
packages, the committee in charge
replied, I'VE will deliver f1rst-aid
packages as requested at rate of 49,
600 a week, beginning at once" The
order had to be filled without inter
fering with the regular hospital sup
ply output of the shop, and each
package was to contain twelve arti-
cles, but the workshop exceeded its
promise the first week, and few
weeks later, the entire order was in
the hands of the army authorities.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-06-26

The fact that no official statement OF
the exact number of cannon captured by
the Italians in the initial stages of their
counter attack against the Austrians has
been made leads to the belief that the
counter operation is not finished by any
means and that important developments
are likely to take place on the Italian
front. Were the movement completed,
something in the nature of finalty
would be given by the publishing of the
results, which would include, naturally
enough, the mention of the plumber Sc
cured. Up to this hour there has been
no statement more definite than the bare
announcement that very many cannon"
we're captured from the fleeing Austrians.
There has been plenty of time, of course,
to count the cannon taken from the foe,
as well as to enumerate the other mate
rails left behind by the Austrians; but
we are not allowed to get any definite
idea of the number or the amount.

OuND.ABOuT PUBLICITY.

When the American army in France
makes an important move why should il
be necessary that the information come
to the American people first through the
French official war reports? Why
shouldn't we get the information imme-
diately from the American headquarters
rather than day late through the Amer
lean "communiques" sent to Washington
and then distributed throughout the
country? Such a course of procedure
with the news makes the American par
ticipation in the war appear like side
issue and it deprives the American pub
lie of information which they should
know first-hand and promptly from
American headquarters. As it is now,
the French tell us what our men are do
ing and many hours later we get few
more details trickling along through the
censorship.

went to work on the Barre railroad. and
prided himself in saying that he helped
to carry the first iron rail that was laid
on that road. He later entered the EN-
ploy of the Central Vermont railroad,
by whom he was employed for twenty
years, he having the distinction of be-
ing promoted to conductor at the age of
twenty-one. For a number Of years he
was conductor on the butter train be-
tween st. Adams and Boston. and also
the "Old Hail." between Mortified and
St. Adams. On account OF impaired
health he left the railroad life and en-
tered the grocery business here, later

WIFE IS MADE HIS RECEIVER
Plan Adopted by a Man Who Found
That He Could Not Get Along
on His Salary.


There was arstory in the American
Magazine in which man who hasn't
been able to get along on his salary
installed his wife as temporary re-
ceiver. 1t worked wonders with him.
Here is part of the story:
"'What you want said Judd, smil-
ing, is to go into the hands of re-
ceiver-a temporary recoverable

didn't you? How they coming OutT

"'That's good. And that's what you
need-to go into the hands of tenn

up. You ought to go to somebody and
say: Here! I've got my affairs all
balled up and l can't seem to pull out
and get my debts paid and everything
cleaned up, and it is worrying me to
death, and if somebody don't do some
thing I'm going to have a nerve smash
and go plumb bankrupt. Here, you
take me over and see what you can
do"

looked at Tudd questioningly. Tudd

umns began an advance, so formidable
in its appearance that the French can
noneers wavered at their guns. 1t was
then that Kellerman, recovering DOS
session of his faculties, reorganized
his infantry, refused to mount horse,
placed himself on foot at the head Of
his line, raised his chapeau high on
the point of his sword, and calling
upon his men to use the bayonet,
raised the cry of:
give la nation"
The troops caught the spirit. So
great was the clamor they raised, and
so resolute their appearance that the
Prussians, hesitating at charge up
hill against so formidable a foe, halt
ed in the valley and then slowly re-
treated. The young king of Prussia
was beside himself with rage. Be-
rating his soldiers with bitterness he
formed the flower of his regiments in
person and headed them for the French
line. The French artillery was again
firing with spirit and by now the re-
endorsements sent by Dumouriez were
beginning to come into play. The
Prussian kings staff was moved down
by his side, but still the boyish mon
arch, his sword waving above his head,
besought his men to go forward. For
a time the issue hung in the balance,
the French artillerists working like
fiends while the infantry, now afire
with enthusiasm, held nobly to the
task and the veteran Prussian corps
vainly underworld to close the great
gaps which the cannon balls were max
ing In their ranks. At last they fall
tered, broke and retreated, sweeping
their king back in the flood Of disas-
ter. Night descended with the French
master of Valmy. d"
Brunswick fingered some time aft
er in the Argonne, but disease and
lack of confidence thinned his ranks.
France, on the contrary, felt a giants
strength and like giant did she use
it. Never again was the decision in
doubt. The French republic was in
Sured.
