WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH

WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH
An interesting sidelight on the Ger.
man Interpretation Of the doctrine that
all is fair in war is furnished by letter
written to the Windsor Journal by sol
dier from Felchvile who is in the Cana
dian troops which saw bloody service at
Nimy Ridge. 1t was the day before
Christmas in 1916 that the Germans
hoisted some large boards above their
trenches and the boards bore the words
lin English I'VE won't fire tomorrow
if Won don't" The Canadians made no
reply to the proposed truce on Christmas
day but as they had learned painfully
that when the Boche makes pretense
of decency he is Matching up some devil
try they the Canadians, proceeded to
make elaborate preparations for what
they expected to experience According
to the narrator of the story, the Cana
dams did not fire but simply waited for
events TO develop each man taking 70
whatever cover he could find. TO use
his words again; "All work was stopped
save what had TO be done and the line
settled down to wait and see what new
calseedness the Pirates had thought of
since last year They didn't have long
to wait. An hour before midnight it
was as quiet along that front as mid
night in the streets of Feluhville at its
quietest But promptly on the stroke
of IL, German time, hell broke loose. Tt
enemy opened with every gun, mortar
and rifle he could bring TO bear, and
those pesky Canadians, WIN were so low
TOWN in the scale of civilization that
they could not place confidence in the
word of their cultured enern sent back
two shells to every one sent over to
them. For about two hours there was
quite a merry little war on. The joke
of the matter lay in the fact that aside
fropa smashing up some of our perfectly |
go3d trenches he did us no particular |

unprepared, had made no provisions for !
covering up, consequently, as we were
told later by some prisoners, our gunners
furnished him with large batch of soap
stock that night tyou know he uses his
dead soldiers TO make soap and gun
POWDER. He gave up in disgust after a
while"
That narrative tallies in large meas
ure with the story of the manner in
which the Teutons scored their initial
success against the Italians in the lat
tiers great rout last year. That story
asserts that Austrian and Italian con-
tingents facing each other had become
weary Of the war and decided to quit at
certain hour on certain day; but on
the eve Of the day set for the laying
down Of their arms a German detach-
ment was placed where the Austrians

RED = NOTES

The Barre branch of the Red Cross has
no yarn at the present time and, what is
worse, no money with which to purchase
more. Those are the facts. straight from
headquarters. What is to be done about
it? Until more funds are raised this
great work of keeping the BOYS abroad
and in our own country supplied with
knitted articles must cease in Barre. Are
you willing this should happen? Can
you read with any degree of satisfaction
what other towns and cities are doing
and then think that from now on this
branch of the work must be practically
abandoned here? 1t certainly is up" to
somebody to get busy" And when
someone finds the best way of raising
this money, be ready to respond if called
on to give. Other places are trying out
different plans and according to reports
are having good success.
The women in st. Johnsbury have
been making money on food sales, from
eight of them clearing S201.50 for the
Red Cross. In Stowe the women are
getting fine response to calls for % cents
month for four months, for the pur-
chase of warn. The Burlington branch
| has a block system which brings it in
| 81 1850 a month, besides what comes in
| from other sources In round numbers
there are 1900 contributors to this sys-
tenn there. Other places have different
methods, but all are bringing in the
money, and that is the main point. How
shall it be done in Barre? That is our
little question for to-day.

There was a very satisfactory increase
in the number at the work room at the
Spaulding building last Friday after
noon, and the hum of voices testified
that meeting there for work was far
from being all a hardship. Much was
accomplished in the way of completing
some articles and beginning others, and
some who could not stay for work there
took it home. Still more can be provid-
ed for those willing to work in either
place.
There : just as much enthusiasm
among the knitters as ever. But what
does enthusiasm amount to without
yarn?

USES BANK BILLS
FOR BOOK MARKS
Heirs Find Snug Savings Tucked
Away, Forgotten by
Owner.

Toronto, Cnn.-Archdeacon Boldly,
for forty years the rector of st.
Peters church. had so little regard for
the value OF money that he used bank
notes for book-marks. and this habit
caused his helrs-at-law whole lot of
worry they might have been spared had
the good rector kept his little fortune
in the savings bank.
Archdeacon Boldly died 13 years ago.
After the funeral his relatives made a
search to unearth his bank-books, for
1t was known that he possessed saw
ings. But search revealed no sign of a
fortune. There was nothing in the
house, so far as could be seen, save
the scanty furniture and a library of
5000 books.
The relatives of the dead clergyman
had decided that he left no cash at all.

away from old ideas and learn some
thing new.
Eggplant With Rice and Vegetables.
Spaghetti, noodles, rice, macaroni or
bread crumbs may be used in this
dish. They should all be cooked In the
usual manner except the bread. For
one eggplant allow one cupful OF un-
cooked macaroni or one-half cupful of
rice. Cut the eggplant in slices. pare
and cut in three-fourths inch cubes.
Cover with boiling water and let cook

Melt two tablespoonfuls of fat in

chopped fine, one-half of green pep
per shredded fine and let cook slowly,
stirring often until yellow and soft
ened: add the eggplant, the rice, half
teaspoonful of salt, dash of pa
prika, cupful of grated cheese and
cupful and a half of tomato. Stir and
cook until well heated. Turn into
creased baking dish. cover with three
fourths of cupful of crumbs mixed
with three tablespoonfuls' of fat and
cook in the oven until the crumbs are
brown.
Chocolate Pudding. Melt three
squares of chocolate in three cupfuls
of milk, four tablespoonfuls of honey,
two tablespoonfuls of gelatin; pour
the mixture into wet mold and set
away to harden. Serve with sweetened
whipped cream or cubes of marshmal-
lows may be added instead of sugar.
Goldfish With Brown Sauce.-Soak
two cupfuls of salt fish in cold water
for an hour. Drain and fry in six ta-
blespoonfuls of corn oil until slightly
brown. Add three tablespoonfuls of
flour, ia cupfuls of water, the fish,
one Glove of garlic chopped, one table

He was down again in a minute with
another load of household effects. The

where he was moving.

answered George. again hastening up
stairs.
The painter lighted cigar and
awaited the next trip. Presently back
came George. carrying mattress in
one arm and cot In the other. and
still in a hurry.
"Why are You moving. George?'

answered George.
And then the painter moved, too

and so the matter stood for II years,
or until few weeks ago, when the ex
ecutors made strange discovery.
In cataloguing the Boldly library,
preparatory tc selling 1t, they found a
SO bill tucked between the leaves of
volume of drawings. In another book,
So bill was found similarly employed
as hook-mark. A systematic search
followed and every book in the collec-
ton was examined. When the task
was finished there had been recovered
$3.50 in cash and S1,15O in bank
checks. All the latter are worthless
now, many of those who signed them
having died years ago.
The archdeacon was absent-minded.
1t is thought that when he received a
special fee for weddings or extra serv-
Ice, he slipped 1t into book, and
promptly forgot all about 1t.
