Fl. J. M. Jones has sent the following
letter to the coal dealers and local fuel
committee showing that the time has
been reached when the people of the
state must prepare to use buckwheat
coal
Several towns in Vermont are prepar-
ing for winter by securing No. / buck

barge on this size of coal for industrial
purposes, on account of the large de-
mand for domestic use | want to eau

munity takes advantage at once of the
opportunity of securing a quantity of
this coal, you will be in dangerous po-
sition this winter, 1t is impossible to
get more coal of domestic sizes than
your allotment, but as No. buclSwheat
is not chargeable against this allotment
you can procure as much of it as you
desire
Don't wait any longer, but see that
everyone using a furnace purchases q
percentage of No. / buckwheat. If the
embargo is lifted on its use for indus
trial purposes, il will be difficult to Sc
cure it,

Locating Ore Beds.

Beds of ore are stated to have been
located at a distance of two and a
half miles by the electrical method
patented in the United States by Pro-
fessor r. A. Fessenden. In the locality
where the existence of valuable ores
is suspected, number of holes sew
eral miles apart are bored, then filled
with water, and a Fessenden sound os-
cillator is immersed in one as trans
mitting apparatus, the receiver sub
merged in each of the other holes be-
ing an Einthoven recording oscillo-
graph. The holes may be five miles
or more apart over the area being in
Vestigated. In the study of the oscil-
lograph records special attention is
given to the relation between sounds
received direct and those from echoes,
and it is found possible to get fair
idea of the character of intervening
masses of rock and of the position and
distance of neighboring deposits of ore.

MAY MEAN MUCH TO WORLD
Aviators Believe That Flying Is Bound
to Have Great Influence on the
Minds of Men. -

Flying, in the opinion OF British
Rviators, is going to change the char
Rcter of the worlds thought. 1t Will
have broadening influence and It,
will bring a fresher cleaner flow OF
ideas into the brains of men.
A man, the flyers argue, who has
seen before him at the same time the
cliffs Of England, the long fiat helds or
Holland and the smiling countryside
Of Belgium and France Is bound TO
think in a different way than man
whose horizon has always been bound
eG by bricks and mortar, or even by
hill and dale.
Travelling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make MN
think far more largely. He will see
England and France lying close to
each other, separated only by shin
ing strip of water. He Will see the
green and brown mosaic of Belgium,
which in its turn merges into the dis
tant shadow of Holland. while, still
farther on, across the wide Scheldt
he will see the distant lowlands sweep
on over the rim Of the world.
How will he regard petty spites be-
tween individuals and cliques them
the birdman asks. lie can cover with
his thumb from the heights a fever
ish city swarmlng with million peo-
pie. What will he think of those who
! live next to each other and VIII not
speak? How mean and petty their
quarrels and jealousies and hates will
/ seem.
The true meaning of human inter-
course and friendship Will come home
to him. He will gain an almost divine
outlook upon the world. Dishonesty
civil strife, all will seem to him
contemplate. Perhaps say the avia-
tors, this is the new view which VIII
bring the millennium.

BAKER SAYS US.
HAS OVER 100000
MEN IN FRANCE

PilinG up a record in May for troop
transport. the nation sent across
around a quarter million men.
This brought the shipments past
the 700, 900 mark, as officially re-
vealed by Secretary OF War Baker.
In a few more weeks he will be able
to announce the passing OF the
100000 mark, and it is assumed he
will withhold his next statement
until he has reached this good round
number.
The Secretary had intended wait
ing a while longer before making his
announcement, but under the inspira-
tion Of a talk to French Blue Devils
here he decided to publish these
figures.
Men in charge OF transportation
declare the U-boats have had abso-
lutely no effect upon June shipments.
Their coming only made these men
grit their teeth and say, Go ahead
and this is what they are doing.
Their theory was that any revelation
in troop and supply transport would
be a confession OF weakness, merely
playing into Germany's hands.
However, more June tonnage is
taken up with supplies than was the
case in May. This means that the
June troop figures Will probably be
somewhat lower than the May figures,
though it was stated that the ad-
vance schedule contemplated making
May a banner month and June a lower

AMERICAN OFFICERS
WILL TAKE PLACES
Of ALLY TRAINERS
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

and as our forces are augmented a
greater amount Of tonnage will be
needed not merely to keep up the
gradual flow OF troops for replace
ment Of those lost, but to supply the
increasing numbers on the other side
Our tonnage problem indeed has
been only partially solved and the
necessity will become most acute
when America has taken over a con-
siderable part Of the line. when her
casualties are big and the demand for
more men to replace those killed and
wounded becomes imperative
Thus the NOR etraining American
troops can be given on this side Of
the Atlantic the more time will be
saved in the long run. The use Of
American officers in this work should
prove very valuable and the plan OF
the general stan undoubtedly looks
to the shortening OF the period OF
training by methods which have been
discovered on the other side to be
suited TO the American character and
temperament.
American association, on the other
hand. with the French and British
officers incidentally tend to become
more intimate on the western front,
because OF the way in which our
forces have been brigaded with those
OF the allies.
Both the British and French, pri-
vately as we'll as publicly. say the
American officers and men are apt
pupils. and nothing which has hap
pened on the western front has given
more encouragement to the military
experts who value morale as highly
as anything else than the manner in
which the American troops have frat
ernized with the allied troops. At the
bottom OF this. OF course. is the deep
rooted admiration OF the American for
the plucky Englishman and the brave
Frenchman. who have together borne
load for three years
