his favorite tactics and fouled himself
out of the match in six rounds.
Dempsey received his early training
in a northwest lumber camp where
his prowess as a good two-fisted man
won him respect from the best fighting
lumberjacks Of the country.
Dempsey is a native of Seattle,
Wash, and was christened William.
When, however, he took to pugilism he
changed his first name to Jack for the
reason that Jack Dempsey, once mid
dleweight champion Of America, used
that as his ring name. The Nom
pareils real name was John Kelly.
While his strength and hitting are
unquestionably of the first quality,
surprising as it may seem, he is an
excellent boxer. He never had any tu-
ition from clever sparrers, and ap-
pears to have picked up the science of
the game through watching other
fighters.
Dempsey is twenty-ope years Of age,
stands six feet in his bare feet and
scales 1876 pounds in fighting condi-
ton, which was Sulivan's weight when
the Bostonian was in his prime.
A finer looking athlete than Demp-
sey never stripped for action. He is
splendidly proportioned, and his arm
and leg muscles are long and flexible.

'The best way to fight pneumonia

alcohol-that's the best way to keep
out of the pneumonia class.

The horses manufacture in their blood

Observation-Disclosures i'm all Departments
Government Control of Wool Clip

The War Industries Board has fixed
the prices of the 1918 clip OF wool as es-
'tablished by production committees
and approved by the Government as
those established on July 80, 1917, at At
lantic seaboard markets.
There has been considerable lack of
understanding on the part of growers
just why and how the Government was
to handle the wool clip OF 1918.
The necessities of the government at
this time are such as to require all pos
sible means for concentrating the wool
near the centers of consumption, The
government shall have first right to ac-
quire contracts at prices set by the War
Industries Board All remaining wool
will be turned over to manufacturers
not directly engaged in filling war CON
tracts. This will be under the direction
of the War Industries Board. Lastly,
with such demand for wool, the gov
eminent anticipated the necessity of
setting the price to guard against pro-
fiteering.
The wool will be handled by approx
ed dealers authorized by the War In
dustries Board at approved distributing
centers, near the Atlantic seaboard
where the bulk of the wool manufacture
ing interests are located,
Local County buyers are also re-
CURED to make application to the Wool
Division of the War Industries Board
for permit to buy wool from the grow
erS.

May Pocket 100000 Germans
ASSOCIATED Press War Review

General Foch has taken leaf out of
the book of German military strategy
and ordained the use by the allied arm
les of the pincer system of offensive in
the Soissons.Rheims salient
Both Jaws of the pincer are moving
smoothly, with the pivot along the
Marine working in unison, and the pro
cess of attempting to capture many of
the nearly half million Germans in the
big pocket is well on the way to what at
present seems like possible success.
The Germans, however, evidently do
not intend to permit themselves to be
entrapped without fighting Having
thrown thousands of reinforcements in
to the already congested salient, they
have started counter attack of great
violence all along the semi-crcular
front from Ourcq river to the region
Immediately southwest of Rheims, and
their men are said to have orders to
stem the allied tide of advance at all
costs.
Nevertheless at last accounts the
American, French, British and Italian
troops themselves well reinforced to
meet the new turn in affairs were stead
lily pressing forward at nearly all points
on the battle line to Rheims, while east
of the Cathedral city Polish contin-
gent-the first of the Poles to enter the
combat is declared to have carried out
successfully an enterprise against the
enemy in which more than 200 Germans
were made prisoners
The western jaw of the pincer CONT
nues to move eastward along the Ourcq
river, on both sides of the stream, and
the Franco-American troops now are
virtually knocking at the gates of Fere-
-Tardenois, the important railway
junction and storehouse for Germany's
war supplies. Further south to the
Marine new advances, in cooperating
with the north, have been attained,
At the pivot of the pincer, north of
the Marine midway between Chateau
Thierry and Rhemis, the French have
extended their line northward in the
forest of Fere, in the Ris forest and
north of Dormans, while the eastern
jaw of the pincer, under the pressure of
the British, has noticeably moved for
ward in a northwesterly direction for
about mile and half over a three
mile front to Merry Premecy and GueuX,
the last named village five miles west of
Rheims and scant mile and half from
the Rheims Fismes road. At Merry
Premecy the allied line now stands about
ten and a half miles southeast of
Fismes, which is the central station on
the railway running between Scissors
and Rheims.
For a week and day the allied
troops have hammered against the Sois-
sons-Rheims salient until its width
across between the cities has been mar
rowed to about 81 miles from an orig
inal width of 81 miles, where the TRAN
gular salient has been welded into q
semi-circular cul-de-sac. Over the en-
tire pocket the allied artillery continues
to rain shells from all sides, and airmer
are keeping up their intensive bombing
of troop formations and military works.

government by already sending fifteen
men to Pittsburgh for training as in
structors here, will be among the first
to adopt the plan
President Thomas learned at Wash

and as many rifles were being got in
readiness for the colleges, illustrating
on how large a scale the work will be
undertaken. at was encouraging" said
DR.. Thomas, "to lind that the War De
partmcnt is so active and cordial in its
desire to cooperate with the colleges,
We are no longer pounding at the door
but are invited into the councils OF the
War Department.
"The plan they have drawn up will
offer every able-bodied college student
over the age of IS an opportunity to en-
list in the military forces of the United
States and to obtain training in the col
leges which will prepare them for the
more eXaCting forms OF military service.
"The purpose is to provide for the
very important needs Of the army for
highly trained men as officers, engin-
GERS, chemists, doctors and administra-
tors. Its object is to prevent the pre-
mature enlistment OF boys who could,
by extending the period Of their college
training, multiply manifold their value

terms of enlistment are such that these
men can be called by the President on
one days notice, but it will be the policy
of the Government to keep them in
training until their draft age is reach

President Thomas was appointed

WE WILL HAVE
FLOUR MILL HERE
First Really Modern Equipment in
County

For the first time in decade or more,
Middlebury will this year have its own
-four mill. The increasing acreages
sown in wheat in Addison County,
which easily make it the champion
wheat county of the state, have promp-
ted George w Rose, proprietor of the
Star Mill on Mill street, to invest in
a rolling and boiling mill to grind and
refine the wheat grown in this vicinity
The mill which is in one compact as
semblage of machinery is made by the
Anglo-American Milling Company and
is known as the 2j-barrel American
Marvel Mill. 1t has capacity of %
barrels every "a hours. 1t represents an
investment of about $4,000. 1t will take
only about u by feet of floor space
and requires normally ten horse power
which is drawn at the Star Mills from
Otter Creek Falls.
Twelve years ago there was an old
wheat grinding mill in Mr.. Roses plant
but it was practically out of use as
wheat growing had been abandoned
here some years before that. When
the mill burned, ten years ago, there
was no thought OF installing another at
that time, but the recent demand has
made it a promising business venture,
Mr., Rose expects to have the new mill
installed by the middle of August and
ready to grind wheat as soon as the
farmers have it dried out sufficiently,
which will probably be in October.
There are already flour mills at Wey-
bridge, Vergennes and Richville (Shore-
ham but they are Of the old stone
type, and according to Mr.. Rose his
will be the first rolling mill in the coun-
ty. The wheat will be passed through
four sets of rollers, known as the first
break second break, first reduction and
second reduction, and then pass to the
betting system where the sitting pro-
cess takes place.
There are practically no -four mills in
Vermont outside of Addison County,
though in many places the tourist may
find the abandoned mills of fifty or
more years ago. Much of the wheat
grown in other counties was sent here
last year, it is said, for grinding.
