A LONG ABSENCE BY WILSON IN
Dictated.

The country might as well lay itself in
for long absence on the part of Presi-
dent Wilson. The dispatches from Paris
indicate that his visit to Europe will be
continued at least through the month OF
January, and, most likely, it will go into
the month Of February Already plans
are being laid for the presidential itin.
erary in various parts of Europe up to
the end Of January and that, too, with
out taking into consideration any lengthy
participation in the peace conference, OF
course, President Wilson will not return
to the United States before expressing
his views before the peace conference
and it will not be possible to express
those views at one time inasmuch az
new problems will be constantly arising
in the conference. Therefore, it seems
probable that his return to the United
States will be postponed far beyond the
limit SET by popular notion on this side
Of the ocean when he went abroad Ii
would not be surprising, however, if the
executive should break the long spell OF
absence by short visit to the land over
which he presides.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-12-17

In his address in the municipal house
in Paris, President Wilson took partieu.
lar pains, it would seem, to make il
known that he was only their temporary
representative at that This studied eff,
fort on his part may have been due te
his desire to quiet some of the furoI
which has arisen in the United States
against his going to Europe and it may
have been due to purpose to acquaint
European people outside of France with
the fact that democracy is govern.
ment of, for and by the people and that
there are no royal personages in the
United States. To the Europeans just
breaking out into democracy this might
seem important, however trivial a state
ment it may appear to Americans who
are so familiar with the workings out Of
democracy.

II has been suggested that If memo
rial is to be erected in Barre as testi-
monial for the men who served in the
great war now drawing near the peace
treaty a most fitting selection would be
memorial bridge to be erected perhaps
over the Jail branch in the south end of
the city; and there is much to be said in
favor of such proposal. A memorial
bridge serves the two purposes of utility
and beauty, besides being memorial to
the nations fighters from this vicinity.
Needless to say, this bridge would be
constructed of the native Barre granite,
the potentialities Of which in the realm
of the artistic are too well established to
need mention here. Surmounting such a
structure would be panel on which
would be inscribed the names of all the
men who entered the service from Barre
and Barre Town. No one doubts that
such structure would add immeasur-
ably to the beauty Of section OF the
city which has need for the artistic
touch. Moreover, new bridge must
soon be built to replace the Anticipated
wooden structure which spans the Jail
branch at that place. Whether the me-
mortal should be erected entirely by sub
scriptions or in conjunction with the
municipality is matter which could be
worked out later. The whole subject is
something which should be considered
thoughtfully by all the people Of this
community and Barre Town.

marked, you haven't anything to do
now; the war is closed" Yes, the war is
over, but the relief work is only just be-
gun. Think Of the soldiers being brought
by the thousands to this country for care
in the hospitals, think of those still kept
overseas for further service and then Of
the refugees without many of the things
necessary to life itself, and you will see
that the present is no time to cease
working In fact the calls on the Barre
branch land all Others equally have
never been so large as now. And the
workers have never been SO few.
Yesterday afternoon, with a lot Of
work ahead TO do, 100 convalescent
gowns, 200 ladies ehemises and $50 com
fort bags, there were three women who
came to the work room 10 sew. Three
or four Others came and asked for work
to take home, making not over half a
dozen who volunteered to help in any
way.
The material for the 800 comfort bags
came yesterday. They are for the stand.

word will arrive soon, will consist of $50
