who is the president of the college.

dents of the college have been sporting
their new insignia on the streets the
past few days The uniforms are
dark grey wool and trinity cut in mill
tary style. The battalion has been
furnished with Stevens armory rifles
and the Mccullough gymnasium has
been set aside as an armory, Racks
have been built there in the boxing
room for the storage of the guns
The order from the Adjutant-
Generals Office is in response to the
application of the students of the Col

The College has agreed to establish
and maintain course in military
training, plans for which have already
been worked out The members of

The official copy Of the will Of
Colonel SilaS A llslcy who died on
January eth is published for the first
time IN any newspaper IN to-day'S
Register indicating the full list Of his
benclactions, which include large
number OF gifts which were not report
ed in the Associated Press dispatches
from New York during the week
1t was a surprise to some that the
will was FIRST offered for probate in
New York as It was expected that It
would be done in Addison County. 1t
was deemed prudent however to have
the will first offered in New York as
The Columbia Trust Company, the
executor named in the will has is
offices there, and the greater part Of
Colonel llsley's properly is situated in
New York, Later on the will will also
be probatcd in Vermont
The will was filed January Goth with
the Surrogates Court in New York with
petition by The Columbia Trust
Company to have it probatcd The
New York law requires that all the
next Of kin and heirs Of the decedcnt
be cited to attend the probate In
this case, as Colonel Ilsley left no
children, there are about 20 first
cousins to be cited besides all the
lcgatecS, and as these are scattered in
many different states, and the New
York law requires that full notice be
given them OF the hearing, the New
York Surrogate has fixed the date Of
the hearing for March 9TH.
The full text OF the will as received
by The Register from Alfred b Cruik-
shank, Of Is Cedar St, New York, who
has been Colonel Ilsleys attorney for

VERGENNES BOY DIES IN CAMP
Parents Had Not Even Been Advised
Their Son Was Ill

A telegram was received yesterday
announcing the death of Private
Phillip E. Goodere of Vergennes at
Camp Mead, Md The news was a
great shock to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. E. Goodere, for they had not
even been advised that he was ILL., The
telegram contained no particulars, and
the parents are still speculating as to
the cause of his DEATH which is pre-
sumed to have been pneumonia.
Goodere enlisted over a month ago
in the Ordnance Department. He was
the grandson of Mr.. and Mrs c. d.
Ingham of Nergennes, and prior to en-
listment he was employed for several
years as sales manager for l. F. Ben
ton Co., of Vergennes, of which his
uncle Cecil B. Benton is president The

We threw overheard little parts Of the
ship such as small decks built up to
hold platforms. We didn't throw over
board the chairs and tables. They had
been put in the storehouse before we
left this side.
/ remember once running plump into
mine feld. We were conveying an
American troop ship into a French port.
We were running on the flank Of the
convoy. We were just entering the port
when we suddenly saw French patrol
boats signalling violently to us. They
said we were running directly over their
mines We had gotten of our course.
The skipper sent two OF us right out
10 the eyes Of the ship to look out for
the mines.
A nice job 10 was. We could see the
miLes as we passed over them. Had
we but touched one up we would have
gone
Luckily we were so light we kept
well above them.
That is one Of the beauties Of the de-
slroyers. They can so right over
mine field and a torpedo will pass
harmiessly under them unless it Is set
practically to run on the surface.
Without chairs, when we ate we sat
on the lockers. The mess was put In
q big tureen-everything was put in a
big dishpan. The tureen with the
chow" In It was tied to a stanchion and
everybody would have to go after it the
best way he could hold on.
Sometimes you would see a fireman
rolling on one side and a common sea-
man on the other, and there would be
a couple OF inches OF water ana oil and
beans all over the deck which gets very
slippery. Sometimes you would see a
fireman coming across and he would hit
the table and slide under. We wouldn't
yorry much about him-the only thing
were worrying about was getting
more chow. Even on fine days when
it would be sunny up above you would
have TO wear rubber boots down be-
low because the seas came clear over.
