COMMISSIONERS WANT.
Continued from Page 1.)

In making this large reduction in the
village indebtedness this year we have
been assisted by combination of IA |
vorable circumstances, such as an in
crease Of 81 900 in the grand list, u /
slight reduction il lighting and police
expenses; the expense Of collecting gar
bagc was reduced nearly one-half, and
the income from the village teams was
increased nearly 81 900. This large
increase in the earnings of the village
teams over the previous year was due
10 the cheerful cooperation Of Road
Commissioner Wallace, who took an in
terest in keeping them employed when
il could be done to good advantage.
Scwcrs.-The sewer expense during
the coming year will probably be con
fined to ordinary repairs, as there are
no extensions under consideration at
the present time. We have succeeded
IN collecting quite u few of the old as
sessments, which should have been paid
long ago, and there are still few left
which should be collected.
Fire Department.-The equipment of
the fire department has been increased
by the purchase of pair of horses and
cart at cost Of 1925. When not need
ed for fire duty, they are used in con
nection with street sprinkhng service
and town work.
Street Sprinkling.-For the coming
season we recommend n continuance of
the policy which has been carried out
during the last two seasons, namely,
the exemption from assessment of the
frontage Of vacant building lots,
churches and cemeteries. This can be
done without any increase in the rates.
Finance.-Taking into consideration
the unusual conditions existing at the
present time and the increasing burden
| Of expense which most of the citizens
of the village Of Brattleboro are liable
10 be called upon 10 bear, we believe
it is good policy to practice economy in
the conduct of village affairs.
! During the past year the commission
ers have endeavored TO eliminate all ex-
/ pense not absolutely essential TO the
proper management of the different vii
/ lage departments.
On a grand list of SCI, 900 a tax of
| 40 cents on the dollar should pay all
| the ordinary expenses of the village the
| coming year and leave q balance to
apply on reduction of the village debt.

AMERICAN NAVAL
 AID GREAT HELP TO THE BRITISH
Indebted to United States Navy For Its Co-opera-
 tion in Sub Attacks.
BOTH FLEETS ARE
 WORKING TOGETHER
Germans Can Have a Battle Any Time They Want It,
 Says Naval Official.

London, May 14.-American naval aSu has been the greatest help to the BT1t1Sh fleet, says Archibpld Hurd. the naval expert writing in the Daily Tel egraph on the new situation in the North sea resulting from the Zee orugge and Ostend raids, the exten- HlOn of British mine fields and the generally increasing naval pressure against Germany.
 When the war is over" he says, the nation will form some concep- ton of the extent of the debt which we owe the American navy for the manner in which it has co-operated, not only in the convoy system, but in lighting the submarines.
 fIf the naval position is improving today as it is, it is due to the fact that the British and American fleets are working in closest accord sup ported by an immense body of skilled workers on both sides of the Atlantic who are turning out destroyers and other craft for dealing with the sub marines as well as mines and bombs
 The Germans can have a battle whenever they want it The strength of the grand fleet has been well main tained- Some of the finest battleships of the United States navy are now as- sociated with it They not only are splendid fighting ships, but they are well ofticered and manned
 'If Admiral Beatty were asked his opinion there is no doubt of what he would say of the value of the aid which the United States has given in this respect. The conditions under which the Germans would engage us, therefore, are less favorable than two years ago"

WOMAN MAY RECOVER.

CA|LLAUx TAKEN FROM PRISON TO
 GIVE TESTIMONY
(Continued from Page 1.)

NCOuLlnueu lTOu1 rage L. premier explained this by saying the paper was handed to him by a Swiss merchant who was introduced to him under the preteXt that he was to speak about the exchange of merchant disc between France and Switzerland
 T dismissed him brutally," declar- ed M. Caillaux.
 Col. Voyer evidently was anxious to have M- Cai11oux conclude his tes- timony.
 That is sufficient answer" he said. You may go."
 M Caillaux insisted on speaking further however, saying:
 q have never given one franc to the Bonnet Rouge since the war be- gan. It is true that I subscribed 40,- 900 francs before the war, but this fund was exhausted at the beginning of hostilities. At the time I was en- gagged in defending my honor against a bitter press campaign. The Bonnet Rouge defended me, therefore I help ed it.
 'I defended my honor in the past and will do so in the future with all possible means at my command.
 ''It is my contention that a public man in time of war must consider ev- cry possibility of bringing about a favorable peace, no matter whence it comes" M. CaiTlaux's testimony seemed to be disturbing to the accused, who i'm mediately began to try to shift the re- sponsibility on each other M. Mar |, Bonnet Rouge, accused M. Duval, the director, and M. Landau. The latter replied that M. Marion's declaration was unTuthfuL All the defendants except M Joucla, who remained sil- ent, attempted to separate their cases from that of M. Duval, for whom alone the prosecution, specifically de- mands the death sentence.

 Charles H. Murray, a hotel owner ofn Washington, D.

 West of Montdidier in Picardy, and northwest of Foul Americas artillery men are harassing the Germans with a heavy fire. Considerable damage is believed to have been caused on both sectors.
 The announcement from Ottawa that the American army was not to be employed fully against the Ger mans until it was complete organi- zation, it is declared in London, was due to an error, which has been cor rected.
 The London war office statement follows:
 we carried out successful raid last night northeast of Robecq (Flanders) and captured a few pris- oners without casualties to our selves. A party of the enemy which attacked one of our posts west of Merville was repulsed with loss.
 ''The hostile artillery was active during the night in the Somme and Ancre sectors"
 Only patrol actions occurred on the main battle front in Picardy. The announcement follows:
 French patrols carried out opera tions north of Hangard Con the front before Amiens) near Courcy and west of the Mouse, bringing back prison CTS. We easily repuIsed German raid on small French posts northwest of Orvillers Sorel.
 "The artillery fighting was rather spirited in the Champagne, near Butte du Mesnil, and in the Vosges. A Ger man local attack north of La Fecht was repulsed by our fire"
