RUTLAND RAILROAD
TO SPEND $500, 100000

The Rutland Railroad is to spend
$500 900 to build up large structures
to enlarge its machine shops at Rut-
land, the money being part Of the sum
of 1928 900, which General Manager
G. T. Jarvis notified the government
at the beginning of the year would be
the extraordinary expenses for 1919.
The new structures will not necessl-
tate the tearing down of any OF the
present buildings, but they will be ad-
iacent to them. There will be a con
struction and locomotive shop, 263 by
1O5 feet, and so feet high, and a coach
repair shop 172 by 125 feet. Two
transfer tables and coal trestle WV.
be included in the new equipment.
The present car repair shop will be
turned into freight repair building.
The new locomotive shop will mean
that much Of the heavy work which
has been done at Malone, N. T., will
20 to Rutland and there will be great
increase in the force Of employees.

NEW "OVER-SEAS CAP"
ADDED TO EQUIPMENT
OF AMERICAN TROOPS

The cover seas cap" now being Is
sued to soldiers in the Expeditionary
Forces matches the uniform in color
has a very low crown, and has no brim
or ptak. 1t is so made that it may be
folded and carried in a pocket.
When American forces entered the
trenches it was found that the brims
Of their campaign hats interferred
with sighting through trench peri
scopes and that in the cases Of tall
men the high crowns could be seen
above the parapets. The new cap is
so low that il permits the men to move
with practically the same freedom as
when they are hatless. The trench
helmet can be worn over it.
Only soldiers who have been with
the Expeditionary Forces wear the
cap. According TO reports from
France new regulations provide that
officers shall wear their insignia Of
rank on the cap, and enlisted men
place on II the button prescribed TO be
worn on the left side Of the collar OF

TOWNSEND ON CLOTURE

One of the most convincing argu-
ments delivered against the attempted
cloture rule in the Senate was that OF
Senator Charles f. Townsend OF Mich
igaa. Mr.. Townsend called attention
to the present rule limiting Senator's
TO but two speeches on the same sub
iect in one day, and charged the pro-
ponents of the new rule with lncon-
sistency in that they never took ad-
vantage Of that rule TO bring a bill TO
a vote. When an important measure
is being considered with view TO an
early decision it is almost invariably
the case that the Senate recesses from
day to day until vote is reached In
other words the same legislative day
extends over a number Of calendar
days. Senator Townsend contended
that the strict enforcement OF the
present rule by Senator's desirous or
sitting debate would prohibit Sen
ator from talking more than twice
during the continuance Of the legis-
late day, and would remove practical
" all OF the necessity claimed for the
proposed cloture rule by its friends.
II is understood that Mr.. Townsend's
vigorous criticism Of the proposed
change had much TO do with securing
a substantial majority against II when

STARVING AUSTRIA

NEW DRAFT REGULATIONS
It's Now Work or Fight for Every
Man of the Draft Age.

Every man in the draft must do ef-
fectiye work or fight" is the statement
Of Provost Marshal General f. H..
Crowder.
This order becomes effective July /,
1918. The local draft boards will have
full instructions and they are respon-
sible for the enforcement of this new
order.
We call on you to bring to the at
tention Of the local draft boards all
idlers and all men in the non-essential
occupations specified by Major General
Crowder.

Of the Selective Service Regulations

Section l2lk. Definition of NOn-Pro-
ductiye Occupation or Employment

ductiye Occupation or Employment.
In the present emergency it is not
possible to extend the protection of
deferred classification to those regis
trants engaged in certain occupations
or employments which are non-pro-
ductive.
There is a great demand for labor in
all productive occupations and en-
ployments, and especially in agr,cul-
ture and other necessary industries.
Therefore, registrants who have been
given deferred classification and who
can engage in some productive occupa-
ton or employment without substan-
tial financial loss or hardship to them
selves or others should be willing to
seek some productive occupation or
employment or enter the military SER
vice rather than remain in an occupa-
ton or employment in which they are
rendering no effective assistance to the
Nation
IL registrant is idle, he, of course,
is not occupied or employed at all,
and his status of idleness furnishes
groUnd for the withdrawal of his de-
ferred classification or late order num-
ber; and the Regulations applicable to
idle registrants shall be deemed appli-
cable also to gamblers of all descrip-
ton and employees of race tracks and
bucket shops, and to fortune tellers,
clairvoyants, palmists, and the like,
who, for the purpose Of these Regua-
tions, shall be considered as idlers.
The employment or engagement of
any able bodied registrant of military
age in any of the following occupa-
tions or employments is not sufficient
ly effective, in the present emergency,
to justify the postponement of his call
into military service, notwithstanding
he may have late order number and
notwithstanding he may have been
placed in Glass ii, III, or ~ on the
ground Of dependency; and all regis
trants engaged as follows are to be
considered by Local and District
Boards as engaged in non-productive
occupations or employments
(a) Persons engaged in the serving
of food and drink, or either, in public
places, including hotels and social
clubs;
(b) Passenger-elevator operators
and attendants; and door men, foot
men, carriage openers and other at
tendants in clubs, hotels, stores, apart
ment houses, office buildings, and bath
houses;
(c) Persons. including ushers and
other attendants, engaged and occu-
pied in and in connection with games,
sports and amusements, excepting
actual performers in legitimate con-
certs, operas, or theatrical perform
ances;
Id Persons employed in domestic
service;
(e) Sales clerks and other clerks
employed in stores and other mercan-
tile establishments.

WHY THE SAVINGS PLEDGE?

During the present intensive war
Savings campaign We are asked by
the President and by Secretary Nc
Adoo to pledge ourselves to save and
with our savings to buy at definite
times a specific amount Of War Say
ings Stamps. Why should we be call
ed upon to do this and why should
we do it?
We are called upon to do it because,
as President Wilson says, this is a war
Of nations, not Of armies, and every
one in the land must do his share. So
far more than 100000 men have
gone into the Army and Navy and
| 100000 more are to join before Aug
ust /. These 100000 men give them
selves as their donation TO the war.
The remaining 100000 people left
at home must give something else as
their share.
This savings pledge gives the stay
at-homes an opportunity for service.
We are asked to pledge ourselves to
save and economize, to use labor and
materials only as necessity demands
and to invest our savings in War Saw
ings Stamps.
The Government asks us to do this
| hecause the amount of labor and ma
terials in the country is limited; there
is not enough of either to permit US to
use it in the same free way as we did
in peace times and at the same time
have enough in the markets for the
use of the Government. 1t is purely
question of supply and demand. II
we use the supply the Government
does not have it for war needs. And
the smaller the amount the Govern
ment has for use the longer will the
war last. That is the primary reason
for the savings campaign.
But there is another side to the
question. The Government asks us tc
pledge ourselves to save to help wiz
the war. 1t does not ask US to give II
anything except our cooperation. In
return for our help we receive Gov
ernment security which pays US gooc
rate of interest.
If we do as the Government asks
and as we should, this, then, will be
the result % We shall buy onl!
those things necessary to maintain Us
in the best of health and spirits; (2)
by refraining from buying unneces'
sary things we shall leave in the mar
kets for Government use greatel
supply of labor and material witt
which to win quicker victory: (oj
by not frittering our money away OF
things that do not make for efiicienc!
we shall keep ourselves in better
health and inrcease our powers OF pro
duction; (4 by investing our savings
in War Savings Stamps we shall o'
putting aside for those days which IN
evitably come, if we live long enough
the means to greater happiness.
When so much can be accomplished
by joining in this War Savings cam
paign. why should we not do it?

DO YOU NEED HELP?
The Public Safety Committee to Assist
Farmers in Securing Needed Help

he publlc SAFETY committee 10 Assist
Farmers in Securing Needed Help
There was a meeting at the rooms
of the Union Club at Manchester Cen
ter on Tuesday morning at which Mr..
J. B. Estee of Montpelier. explained
the plan of Mr.. r. r. Burdick, Federal
Labor Emergency Specialist, to sup
ply the shortage of farm labor
throughout the State. Mr., Estee was
president of the Board of Trade or
Montpelier and also chairman Of the
local Committee Of Safety which CO.
operated and were very successful in
supplying the labor shortage in Wash
ington County In that county, busi-
ness men and laborers in manufacture
ing plants assisted in harvesting the
crops.
At this meeting it was decided that
the local Public Safety Committee,
with Hon. +. c. Archibald as chair
man, assisted by the Board Of Trade,
would at once take up this work for
this district and Hon. Edward Griffith
was appointed to take charge of the
mobilization Of labor.
Mr.. Shaw, the County Agricultural
Agent, is to find where labor is needed
for harvesting and the Public Safety
Committee will try to fill the wants OF
the farmers in the labor line.
1t is very important that all farm
ers in need of help, specify just what
help is needed and when it is wanted.
Otherwise it will be impossible to find
labor.
1t is not expected to furnish per-
manent farm help, but to help any
farmers whose crops are endangered.
Some help has already been volun-
teered and it will be up to the farmers
to plan how TO best use this emergency
help.
All should read the advertisement
relating to this matter, published IN
this issue Of The Journal.

The strain of war is not confined to
the firing line. We are 5000 miles
from the battle front and news from
over there is slow. 1t is as though
we were outside an operating room,
the threshold of which we may not
cross. and inside is our own, who can
not speak even as the boys over there
may not speak because of military
regulations or tell US more than that
they are comfortable, well taken care
of and Of good spirit. There is danger
of our hearts and minds cracking un-
der the strain and to offset this we
must foster all the avenues of cheer
fulness. education and uplift. As new
er before we must have faith in our
public men, and those intrusted with
the reins of government and even
though we may not be able to under
stand this more or that one on the
chess board of war, be willing to back
up our government with all the
strength we possess; and thus can we
maintain our morale at home as well
as help those on the firing lire to bear
the strain.
