MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE.
Fine Parade in Afternoon and Ad-
dress in Evening.

The Memorial day parade Thurs
day was of unusual excellence being
made up of the Barton band, dele
cation of Knight Templars, a troop
of Boy Scouts, several associate G.. A.
R. members and large delegation of
school children, each carrying a flag.
J. A. Pearson acted as marshal and
the parade formed at the school
building, marching to the cemetery
and return, making a splendid escort
for the seven veterans.
The exercises and address were
held in Seaver's hall in the evening
and were we'll attended. Members of
the school sang a patriotic song in
chorus and Miss Flora Emerson gave
a reading The general orders from
G. A. R. headquarters and Lincoln's
Gettysburg address were read and E..
G.. Collision explained that the pic
ture, coat and sabre exhibited on the
rostrum were those of Capt. G.. w.
Quimby from whom the local post is
named. Capt. Quimby was a native
Of Lyndon, but taught school in Bar
ton in the ffties.
j. A. Pearson introduced Rev. M.
A. Turner, who gave the address. He
said nations as well as individuals
had ideals and that Germany's ideal
was the domination of the world, no
matter by what means attained He
gave several examples Of the ideal
that was before that nation, all of
which showed the cruel, unscrupulous
and high-handed methods and means
employed by the German govern
ment.
In contrast he cited the ideals of
other nations but particularly that of
our own nation which has entered
this war for no reason whatever ex-
cept perpetuating the ideals upon
which this nation was founded and
which we believe must eventually
dominate the world if a lasting peace
is ever to be attained.
The Schubert club of eight pieces
furnished excellent music. A dele
cation of Sons of Veterans from
Glover was present and seated with
the associates and veterans.

by army draft and the loss of other
this summer, but the public can put
spirit into the boys by letting them
know they are appreciated. A word

our concerts going during these times

Baccalaureate Sermon and Junior
Reception.

Commencement activities began
Sunday night when Rev. w. A. War
ner preached the baccalaureate SER
mon to the graduating class in the
Congregational church. The church
was filled and the service was an in
spring one. The choir rendered the
anthem, "He Goes before Me-" and
Rev. M. A. Turner assisted in the
service. Mr.. Warner chose for his
text, Isa. so, II, "And the work of
righteousness shall be peace; and the
effect of righteousness quietness and
assurance forever"
Mr.. Warner enlarged upon the
thought that peace was a thing to
or in the sense of the cessation of the
world conflict, but must be right
eous peace.
He said the attempt to find peace
by escaping duty cannot bring real
peace and often brings pain and cha
grin. Meeting duty face to face
instead of lodging it develops char
acter and strength.
He urged that the members of the
class go out into the world carrying
peace and quietness and confidence
to torn and bleeding world which
needs the service of all.
There was a large attendance at
the Junior reception Monday evening
when the junior class gave its annual
reception to the seniors in Alumni
hall. The evening was spent in dane
ing and promenading. Ice cream was
served.
Graduation exercises are in Seav-
er's hall Thursday evening and the
Alumni banquet, served by the Red
Cross, will be held in the Congrega-
tional church Friday evening.

GERMANS WARNED
OF COUNTER ATTACK
CONTINUED from page l.,

Paris, March 27.-In the debate in
the chamber, Henry Franklin Bouil-
lon, president of the foreign affairs
committee, said that although the
situation was serious it should be
regarded with serenity, He pointed
out that the French army, whose
valor the enemy recognizes, is in
tact
"This is but a minute part of our
army, he added. Not even ten
divisions have participated in the
battle.
Leon Abrami, under secretary for
pensions, summed up the situation
thus:
The Germans are about to meet
the shock Of a powerful French army.
perfectly fresh. animated by spirit
Of sacrifices, and protected by a cur
tain Of artillery FIRE such as Ii is
dificult to conceive Of. This army
has been taken TO the scene of ac-
ton by railroad and every other
route. Hitherto few divisions have
checked the enemys progress.
"Furthermore formidable British
reserves Of maneuver are arriving on
the battle field, so that the enemy's
gains Of ground can be but ephemer-
all.

Berlin.
The general praised the British for
their tenacious resistance and con-
tinued:
The British believed they could
RELY on the strength Of machinery.
The employment Of tanks and great
numbers OF machine guns is typical
Of their methods Of warfare"
The German infantry, the general
adds, had only one nights normal
rest during FIVE or six days OF bat
tie.
In a battle like this" he remark
ed, "ths infantryman must risk his
life not only once but continuously
from trench to trench"
