THE QUARRY ROADS.
One Who Uses Them Thinks They Ought
to Be Preserved.

Editor Barre Daily Times: 1t seems a
disgrace that the macadm roads in the
town of Barre, especially between the
city and the quarries, should have been
so neglected as to allow them to deteri-
crate into their present condition; this
negligence being the more inexcusable in
view of the fact that there are elevators
filled with crushed stone near by.
Since these roads were repaired two
years ago, at considerable expense, there
seems to have been nothing done to keep
them in good condition, but they have
become rutted and full of holes.
Last week, when the Vermont and
New Hampshire Retail Monument Deal
ers' association were in convention in
Barre, they were entertained at the quar-
ries, and it was disgrace to be obliged
to take visitors over such roads. These
highways are travelled a great deal by
tourists visiting the quarries, and as
they are now, do not demonstrate the
which might be expected in
the town whose interests are so closely
allied with those of our city, nor augur
well for its future success.
A suffering traveller who rides
these roads every day.

SIMPLIFIED ORDNANCE
Seems to Have Been Effort of German.
Recently.

With the American Army in France,
June 2a.-The simplifying of ordnance
and unburdening of shock troops seem to
be two of the principal points upon which
the German effort has concentrated in
the present offensive. They have en-
ployed no new arms or munition, but
have sought to increase the intensity Of
fire by larger numbers of already existing
arms and munitions. They consider that
they have found one solution Of this
problem in the light machine gun, which
can be carried and operated by one man.
Each company to-day organized into
three sections has six machine guns, two
to each section.
The light machine gun is said to EN-
brace the mobility and the qualities of
the heavy Maxim machine gun. The
tripod is substituted by simpler and
much lighter support.
Situated as rule at the wings of the
section, encircling the rifles, this arm
has for its purpose:
/. In an attack to force the enemy to
dig in during the advance of the infantry
and to reduce or neutralize the machine
gun nests or strong points of the enemy.
2. On the defense, TO guard the TANKS
in the front line and break up counter
attacks.

SPEEDING UP.

Contests viii likely be engaged in
by the workers at the Anclote Ship
building plant to see who can drive
the greatest number of spikes in the
kaiser's coffin in a given length of
time. All over the country the ship
workers are racing with each other,
each trying to do more than his bit
toward winning the war. This is laud-
able and right, for while these men
are working they are not lodging Ger
man bullets like their brothers in
France and they full realize that what
they are now doing is their patriotic
duty and they will do as fast and as

GEORGE ILLUS
WOUNDED IN FRANCE
Kenosha Man Serving With Company
x of the 9th Infantry is in Base
Hospital cover There

George Zilius Of Kenosha, who was
one of the first Kenosha men to enlist
in the army for overseas service, has
been wounded in action and is now at
one Of, the base hospitals in France.
Letters received this morning an
nounce that Zilius was wounded on
June 10Th last when he was struck in
the leg by piece of shrapnel. The
letter sent by one Of the Z. M. G. A.
workers on the battle front, says:
HYou may be proud indeed of him be-
cause he was brave in action and is
so patient in the hospital. He will
be transferred to the base hospital
in day or two
The letter brings the information
that Zilius was struck in the hip
and that his injury was of serious
mature.
Zilius was a member of Company X
of the 9th Infantry Of the Regular
Army and he was one Of the first Ke-
nosha men to see service in France.

their heads up out Of the trenches.
When we went over with the first wave
at the Cantigney fight Lieutenant
Lance commented, sthe Americans
were so curious that they had to run
and look every time a shell burst
Lieutenant Lance declsred that the
men fighting with the American army
in France had become accustomed to
long hours Of work but that they were
not protesting he admitted. that he
himself had been in service for twenty
three hours without sleep but that this
was only the part of the soldier and
that hundreds and thousands of the
men were bearing the calls made upon
them as soldiers without protest.
The Lieutenant paid tribute TO
Major Roosevelt and declared that he
had brought wonderful new IDEAS into
the fighting line. It was the part of
the returned Kenosha soldier to be
in the line with Major Roosevelt dur
ing part of his service in the line.
Lieutenant Lance has been with the
artillery but at that he has seen much
service with the infantry.
The war has not in any way spoiled
Kenosha s first returning soldier. He
bears himself like a soldier and brings
back to Kenosha new realization of
seriousness of the great war and
with it the new conservation Of his
services to win it. His appeal to Ken
osha men is the appeal of patriot who
knows what he is talking about and
he is strong in the belief that america
is seeing it through to the glory of
American arms and with the certainty
that American sacrifice is to bring
freedom for the world.
"How long will the war last" was
the parting question to Lieutenant
Lance. 'Your guess is just as good
as any ones" he replied, "Maybe two
months, maybe two years, maybe ten
years.
Lieutenant Lance left the front on
July 10th and his trip home was with
out incident.

Captain JesseI Whyte Sends
First Word of the Ar
rival Of Kenosha Boys
Over Seas.
s1Oth IS The FIRST TO LAND
Messages from Other Kenosha Boys
Indicate That Large Number Of
the Kenosha Men Trained at Camp
Custer are Safe lover There. -

Safe Over There is the happy
message that is coming to lot of homes
in Kenosha today as a result of the
landing somewhere overseas Of mem
bers of the 85th Division which left
Camp Custer month ago to 60 over
seas. The first arrival of the Kenosda
boys in the war zone was announced in
a cablegram received from Captain
Jessel Whyte, SON of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Stuart Whyte on Monday night.
This morning another message was re-
ceived from Kenneth White who was
with the headquarters company of the
3l0th Engineers These messages did
not state how many of the Kenosha
men had safely reached the other side
but they indicated that all the boys of
the 310th Engineers had safely braved
the submarine menace and were nearer
the fighting line. The 310th had been
on the seas since two weeks ago last
Saturday and many friends of the boys
in the company had been eagerly await
ing word of their arrival overseas.
1t is just possible that some Of the
units of the 85th division have not as
yet reached their destination. The
910th engineers was one of the first
units to leave Camp Custer for the
port of embarkation but it was later
reported that practically all of the
men who left with the S5th had sailed
about the same time.
Captain Whyte was one of the Of
ficers in charge Of the debarkation of
the troops over there. He was trained
especially at one Of the Atlantic ports
for this service and he is probably one
of the busiest men in France or Eng.
land today
1t is said that there are more than
two hundred Kenosha boys connected
with the various units Of the 85th Di-
vision and it is expected that this
word Of the safe arrival Of at least the
van guard Of these troops will bring
comfort to many homes in Kenosha
