100000 CASUALTIES,
OFFICIAL ESTIMATE

Washington officials estimate that
the total casualties of the American ex-
peditionary forces in the war will not
exceed 100000, including the men kill
ed in action, wounded, died of wounds,
disease and accidents and the missing
who never will be accounted for. Some
OF those who have been missing probab-
lily will be accounted for when the
ly will be accounted for when the
prisoners are returned from Germany.
1t was said that it probably will be
several weeks before the record of
casualties can be completed. 1t is re-
garded as almost certain that many of
the casualties in the recent heavy fight
ing by the first and second American
armies have not yet been reported
Lists also must be compiled of I'M
reported American casualties in British
and French hospitals, especially from
the United States forces brigaded with
allied units. Deaths from wounds also
will be reported for some time
while lists of slightly wounded being
sent by couriers may be delayed.

ORWICH WINS
A SECOND TIME
Prom The Captnsl

Middlebury lost her second game
this year TO the Norwich University
eleven, Saturday Nov, 8 on Porter
Field, Throughout the first three per-
iods of the game, the greater part Of
which was played during cold driz-
zle, MIDI held her opponents scoreless
but early in the last quarter with over
half Of her first strong men out, Middle.
bury was finally scored upon by Nor
witch.
The playing Of both teams through
out the game showed a marked i'm
provement over the previous encounter,
In the first two weeks Norwich had de-
veloped a strong defense and used it
good advantage in Saturdays game,
On the other hand Capt Canty's men
displayed lot of fighting spirit and,
encouraged by the 500 odd MIDI roo
tiers on the field, seriously threatened
the Norwich goal in several instances
Had Middlebury staged more of
passing game the final outcome might
have been altered but as it was, very
little of this type OF playing was in
dulged in by the MIDI eleven.
The Norwich team was well support
ed by nearly 200 members of the Nor
witch S. A, T. c, who journeyed to
to witness the game.

HAS GOOD WORD FOR CROW
Australian Writer Points Out Occa-
sions When Bird Becomes a Real
Benefactor to Mankind.

There are those who say that the
crow deserves no mercy. There In
no other pest eradicator, imported or
otherwise, doing its bit so patriotic
ally as the self-same crow. In Be-
mainland Australia, says the Sydney
Bulletin, the ravages of the sheep
maggot fly must make loss Of hum
dreds of thousands Of pounds worth
Of jumbuck every year. about the
only difference in one season being
that the damage is probably greater
than the last. Were 1t not for the
bird whom no one has good word
for, the fly pest would soon duplicate
itself with losses to sheep-ownera
increased accordingly. Every dead
sheep or piece of offal in the bush 10

Unable numbers of prospective sheep
destroyers. Just about the time
that the grubs are the size of grain
Of rice, and few days before they
burrow into the soil, where they re-
main for about Is days before coming
forth, as developed sheep-mag-
got fly, Brother Crow spies out the
colony. Then he sends the glad It'd
ings by wireless system, and all the
family within range hurrles to the
banquet. When it is over supply Of

days TO come. DR.. Lawrence then told
clearly and concsely just what the
present situation is, He read the Off
cial dispatches, and commented on
the stand taken by Germany towards
America at the beginning Of the war;
stand which is now very ludicrous in
view OF recent events, Dr. Harrington's
speech was to the day" the wonder
full day of November eleventh, on which
we are all so fortunate to be alive.
Professor Skillings spoke most earnest
ly Of our duty at this time and said
that the motto OF Abraham Lincoln
should be ours now as never before,
with malice toward none, with charity
to all.
Firm in the right, as God gives
us to see the right During the exer-
cises everyone joined in the singing of
appropriate hymns, and closed with
america the Beautiful" The benedic-
ton was pronounced by ex-President
Ezra Brainard
After the exercises, the whole col
lege joined in a procession with the
townspeople, and marched through the
main streets of Middlebury. In the even
ing there was dance in the gymnasium,

NEW FURNlTURE IRON oLp.

Many families have one or more
old fashioned wooden bedsteads
which are banished to the attic and
never used. If the house carpenter
has some spare time now he can re-
model one into a first-class porch
swing for next summer.
The headboard will furnish ma
terial for the back. There are plenty
Of Stats to make the seat and side
rails and footboard, provide for the
arms and all other pieces needed
BY looking at a swing already made
one can readily see how to fit the
pieces together.
Chains or rope for hanging and
the irons to fasten them to the posts
may be bought at the hardware
store.
A few yards Of cretonne for cush-
ions and a small can of paint or var
nish stain for the stats and you have
a good swing at very small cost.
