The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-12-23

1t reads almost like ancient history
that draft eyaders are being sent to
prison; yet it bears out the prophecy
that the arm of the United States gov
eminent would be long in reaching out
for the men who tried to shirk their re-
sponsibility. The comparatively few
men who evaded the draft and have not
been caught are not rendered immune by
the flight OF time.

The Germans appear to be taking their
time about fulfilling the requirements of
the armistice, but some allowance must
Re made for the disorganization which
undoubtedly exists in various parts of
the domain. The system which was held
up before the world as perfection per
sonified has been badly disrupted during
the last few months.

The selection of a site for the new
Washington county tuberculosis hospital
at an accessible point from Barre and
almost equally so from Montpelier makes
it more likely that the institution will
meet the need for which it was author
lied. Moreover, the location Of the insti-
tuition on the Cooley farm on Beckley hill
is well adapted to the requirements of an
institution of such a nature, being on an
elevation, commanding fine view and
with light soil The institution should
be capable of doing a great deal of good.

man has starved to death, so far as the
reports show-and we would be rather
sure to hear of it had such a thing oc-
CURED. In fact, the reports 90 to show
that Germany has quite a quantity of
food on hand that will keep the people of
that country if it is rationed out reason
ably. This condition rather bellies the
German claim that Germany was forced
TO eapitulate because of food shortage
and strengthens the conviction that Ger

Events Of Past Week Have
Resulted in Concentration
Of Enemy Resistance.

Washington. Nov. 2.-The debacle
Of Germany's allies is being pressed
to completion, General March said
today, and the events of the past
week in the world war resulted in
the concentration Of enemy resistance
in one nation.
Resistance of the Germans on the
west front has continued and the
greatest Allied advance has been reg
istered on the Italian front where
maximum progress Of 81 miles has
been made. General March said the
object Of the Allies on this front was
cutting of the Austrian line Of with
drawal. '"This has been accom-
plished;" he added.
General March identified the
American forces In Italy as the 332d
infantry regiment with ambulance
Satta,iGns Sasnitsi ,ds 5; II. y and 49, field
In addition there are certain air
service training units.
The new Franco-American attack
on both sides Of the Argonne, the
gressed to such an extent that a de-
cided pocket has been formed in. the
German lines. indicating the neces-
sity of an early withdrawal from the
northern portion Of the Argonne for
est. This would bring the American
forces with their heaviest artillery
nearer the main German railway line
through Stenay.
General March announced that In
fluenza conditions among troops ar
irving in France have improved so
materially that deaths from the dis
ease practically have stopped. A
recent transport convoy carrying U.s.
900 men, arrived at the American
port of debarkation, he said, with
only 78 cases of influenza.
Regimental units identified and To-
Gated by General March included the
Hath Engineers with the first army
west of the Meuse and the SD Pic-
neer infantry with the Fifth Army
corps in the same territory. These
are not part Of any division.
~. Regarding individual units General
March said the seth division az ansas
