 The party was escorted by destroy CTS and arrived at Pola at ? o'clock in the morning. It was very dark as the moon had been down two hours. A light wind blew of shore. which prevented the sounds of preparation going landward The entrance to the channel was 400 yards across, with a long neck leading into the great harbor. in which lay Austria's fleet of battleships, cruisers and destroyeTs, encircled by frowning terrace. of land batteries.
 In the obscurity the guard ship at the entrance. dimly visible swung to one side, the guard apparently asleep There was lack of watchfulness.
 Final preparation was now made for a dash in the darkness. Com mander Pellegrini and his companions put on rubber suits which could be inflated. The plan was to discharge torpedoes at the big ship, then blow up their own craft, jump overheard and await capture or drowning. All realized that there was practically no chance of returning alive.
 Commander Pellegrini was perfectly cool as he bade goodbye, his superior officer saying; You are putting your head in the lions mouth"

Academy Graduate in Y. M. c. A.
Work.

News has been received of the safe
arrival in France of G. Leland Green
for seven years principal of the Ver-
mont State School of Agriculture at
Randolph, and a graduate of Barton
high school. Mr.. Green's experience
with boys and young men during his
residence at Randolph fits him ad-
mirably for the work he has under
taken. Although a host of friends
regret his departure, all who know
him have the satisfaction which
comes from the reflection that, in this
instance, the boys "over there" are
indeed getting the best.
Mr.. Green's work during the past
seven years, in inaugurating and
building up an educational institution
which meets an actual need in posi-
tive and practical manner, has elicit
ed statewide approval. The support
which has been given during that pc
riod, has been largely due to the char
acter of the man at the head. Today,
a two-fold monument attests his sue
cess: the Alumni of the school, who
in France or on Vermont farms are
putting his teaching into practice;
and the splendid new dormitory, for
which he worked and planned, and
which is rapidly nearing completion.
Without doubt, when Mr.. Green re-
turns, he will find awaiting him,
somewhere in Vermont, a task worthy
of his past record, of his proved abili-
ty, and of his high character.

BIGGEST DRIVE YET
IS w. s. s. DRIVE,
County Allotment Approaches Half
Million Dollars and Campaign
Closes Next Week Friday.

Orleans county is up against a real
war proposition now. Before Fri
day night of next week this county is
asked to buy or pledge itself to pur-
chase before January 1 the sum of
$485,92O in war savings stamps.
About $4,000 worth of these
stamps have already been purchased
and pledges have been made for more
and the task remaining is a stupen-
dous one. But this paper has every
confidence that the duty will be met
1t is war duty and like the tasks
asked of our soldiers the civilians
here at home are asked to perform
certain tasks. This purchase of war
though it is no actual sacrifice since
stamp costing SALT today will be
worth SIS on January I, 1923.
AS in all other government drives
this movement is organized thorough
ly, each town having it's allotment
and town chairman. The allotment
in this case is different from the al
!otment in every other drive. Allot-
ments in this drive are strictly on a
oer capita basis of $40 per inhabi-
tant. The table following gives the
amounts each town is expected to
hedge and the man in charge of the
drive so far as they have been an
nointed by Chairman Davis of Derby
Line who is county chairman. Fred
A. Rowland of Montpelier is at the
head of the drive in the state and the
newspapers of the entire state in
conjunction with the progressive bus
mess interests of their respective
communities are conducting this
week a publicity campaign, the mag
nitude of which was never before
approached in Vermont
This paper and this community is
no exception. Much space is devoted
this week to this movement and
more will be given next week.

Miss Marjorie Hastings.

The community was universally
shocked and grieved upon learning
Tuesday morning of the death of
Miss Marjorie Hastings, daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. F. R. Hastings, which
occurred at Syracuse Memorial hos
pital Monday, June 10, after an ILL
ness of five days of tubercular men,
ingitis.
She had made her home with her
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Doug
lass Hastings, in Syracuse the past
winter, DR.. Hastings being in En-
gland with the rank as captain in a
medical unit of the Canadian army
and Mrs. Hastings and the younger
sister, Dorothy, with Mrs. Hastings
brother at Charlo, N. B.
Marjorie was born in Bathurst. N.
B., Oct. z, 1902 and most of her life
had been spent in Barton.
She was a sweet, beautiful girl, ex-
ceptionally bright and attractive, a
great favorite with the young people
and during her short life had won the
love of a host of friends, both old
and young, who sincerely mourn the
loss of one of our most attractive and
promising young ladies. Services
were held in Syracuse, Tuesday, June
II, the body arriving here Wednesday
night.
Services were held from the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Batchelder on
Thursday, June IL, at 2 o'clock, Rev.
w. A. Warner officiating. The NAH
nahbeezee Camp Fire Girls, of which
Marjorie was a member, attended the
services in body and acted as escort
from the home to the cemetery Six
young men, schoolmates, acted as
bearers.
AS Marjorie lay surrounded by the
profusion of flowers, she looked the
sweetest flower of all, and it is hard
to understand why her young life, so
full of promise, was taken.
The deepest sympathy of not only
the entire community but a host of
outside friends is extended to DR..
and Mrs. Hastings and the little sis
ter, Dorothy, in their great loss.
Our hearts go out with the most
tender sympathy to her father, who is
serving his country so far from all
his loved ones.
Interment was in the family lot in
the Welcome o. Brown cemetery.

FIFTY YEARS A PRIEST.
Reverend Father Marceau Celebrates
Golden Jubilee Anniversary.

Thursday, St. Paul's church at
Barton, decorated in all its splendor
was the scene of a most impressive
ceremony, when Rev. Father L. Mar
ceau completed so years of priest
hood. Never before in the history of
this parish, and this was one of the
very few such events in the state of
Vermont, was there ever such re-
ligious feast. The church was filled
to its capacity, many coming from
far, to assist at the ceremonies of
their former pastor. This is evidence
enough to show the appreciation in
gardless of his old age, never faltered
step, whether in the day or in the
night, in the storm or in the sunshine,
to administer the last sacraments to
the dying or to go on missionary
duty. There are no words possible to
express the gratitude that one and all
of the Pensioners have for him. Only
one glance at him is sufficient to see
how pious he is, and the big heart
that he possesses. Especially have
these traits shown out when he has
donated a large share of his time,
energy and earnings to the keeping
up and betterment of the parochial
school. These acts of tenderness
have been greatly appreciated by the
children of the school, from the
youngest to the oldest, and on We'd
nesday afternoon, they honored him
with reception in Crystal Lake hall.
Rev. Mr.. Marceau was ordained
priest in Quebec City, Que. June 9th,
1868, by Rt. Rev. Archbishop Bail
largeon. Mr.. Marceau came to the
states 80 years ago next November.
There were 25 priests from differ
ent parts of the state present as fol-
