When the school and college season
comes next fall, all three of Vermont's
colleges will be devoting considerable
time to military training. Norwich uni
versity and the University of Vermont
have well established military courses
and their standing has been recognized
by the war department, and next fall
Middlebury college will enter more COM
pletely into the work of training young
men to become soldiers 1t is expected
that guns will be available and that
army officers will be assigned to the
work of instruction. Thus Vermont's
three colleges will be doing an important
work toward meeting the need for
trained men in this branch of service.

it is probable that Finland is getting the

and that THIS wish and purpose eman-
ate not from those who have hitherto
dictated the policy and conducted the
present war en- Germany'S behalf, but
from ministers who speak for the ma
jority of the reichstag and for an over
whelming majority of the German peo-
pie, and having received also the ex-
plicit promise of the present German
government that the humane rules OF
civilized warfare will be observed
both on land and sea by the German
armed forces, the president OF the
United States feels that he cannot de-
cline to take up with the governments
with which the government OF the
United States is associated the ques-
ton of an armistice.
He deems it his duty to say again,
however, that the only armistice ne
would feel justified in submitting for
consideration would be one which
should leave the United States and the
powers associated with her in posi-
ton to enforce any arrangements that
may be entered into and to make
renewal of hostilities on the part or
Germany impossible.

EXCESS PROFIT TAX BILL
is REVISED BY SENATE
Finance Committee Adopts Compro-
mise Plan Whereby the Rate Is
Reduced.

Washington, Oct 23.--In revising the
war excess profits tax feature of the
house war revenue bill, the senate
finance committee struck out the al
formative system of taxing war and ex-
cess profits and adopted a compromise
plan designed to raise somewhat less
than the $3,2O0,000O00 estimated from
the house provisions.
Under the new provision, based on
an arbitrary mathematical formula,
the general rate of so per cent on war
profits is retained, but the rate on eX-
cess profits is reduced, a change which
Secretary McAdoo has constantly
urged.
Adopting the same credits in COM
putting taxes as provided in the house
bill, the new tax system Of the COM
mittee provides:
THAT the tax shall be the sum OF
the amounts computed under the fol-
lowing brackets:
81. Thirty per cent of the amount
of the new income in excess OF the ex-
cess profits credit $4,000 and per
cent of invested capitaD and not in
excess of 20 per cent of the invested
capital.
So Sixty per cent Of the amount Of
the net income in excess of 20 per cent
of the invested capital.
"3. Eighty per cent Of the amount OF
the net income (f any in excess OF
the sum of (A) the war profits credit
and OBJ one and one-fourth times the
tax computed under the first and Sec
ond brackets.
'In any case where the full amount
of the excess profits credit is not al
lowed under the first bracket, the part
not so allowed shall be deducted from
the amount in the second bracket"

his mamma had told him there would
be no gifts this year and he did not
expect any except what Santa Claus
would bring. Bobby asked his moth
er if what she brought in was intend
ed for Christmas, but she gave him
no satisfaction, though she took him
in her arms and gave him bear hug
and a dozen kisses. She seemed as
happy as if she expected Santa Claus
to bring everything she wanted for
Christmas.
The day before Christmas a mes
senger boy came with telegram for
Mrs. Sawyer. She tore off the envel-
ope and read it, and looked very hap
py, giving the messenger half dol

was about. She told him it was about
a Christmas gift she and all the rest
Of the family were to receive, and
when Bobby kept asking again and
again "What is it mammal" she gave
him another bear hug and smothered
him with kisses.
Bobby had sister, Edith, twelve
years old, and brother Jim, ten. Both
of them were too old to sympathize
with Bobby in his faith in Santa Claus

him in his letter. Indeed they didn't
believe Santa Claus really wrote let.
