fire AT GUILDHALL
Two Dwelling Houses and Barn
Burned

The village of Guildhall suffered a
severe loss by fire Tuesday when two
dwelling houses and a barn were de-
stroyed and a large quantity of hay.
The fire broke out in the dwelling
house of Harley S. Hill and soon the
large barn caught and both were
consumed with sixty tons of hay.
The dwelling of Benjamin F. Ford
nearby caught and the flames made
such rapid headway that the build
ings were blown up with dynamite
to stay it spreading to nearby dwell
ings and burning up large portion
of the village.
The fire started from defective
chimney. The loss is heavy and in
surance small. Mr.. Hill is reported
to have had $500 on his buildings
but none on his hay. Mr.. Ford car
ried $1,000 on his dwelling
There were plenty of volunteers to
fight the fire but the severe cold and
lack of apparatus made it impossible
to stay the flames.

CONGRESSMAN DALE'S MESSAGE
Big, Vital, ThrObbing Stirrs
Rutland Audience and Brings
Applause and Tears.


Congressman Porter H. Dale OF Island
Pond spoke in Rutland one evening last
week. The next morning the Rutlanc
Daily Herald gave the following account
Of his address:
Before an audience that filed Com.
munity house and which he swept from
the extremes of breathless suspense tc
the frenzy Of long and continued applause
Congressman Porter H. Dale last night
delivered a message that might be aptly
characterized as so big, so vital and
throbbing with pulsating human interest
that at times it overcame its bearer and
de6ed expression.
1t was message that also vibrated
through the sensibility of the hearer with
a poignancy that was sharp with pain
and barbed with the silent agony COM
PEELED by the million dead at VerdUn,
yet through it all played strong fine
fire of inspiration and optimism, a sup
RENE belief in the Great Power which
has uplifted the spirit of the immortal
French and armed the fighting Briton
with a power that is above mere mortal
humanity and its limitations.
Although he refrained from definite
criticism of men and departments of
government, Mr.. Dale left no doubt as
to our right and duty in that respect
After telling Of the deathless courage Of
the French at Verdun, drive back day by
day with slaughter that appalls the
Imagination, he called attention to the
fact that when they were able to bring
up their men and guns, then, and not
until then, could they check the furious
rush Of the Hun.
Thousands and thousands of lives were
lost" he said, because the French had
not the guns or the ammunition to
stop the Germans, yet 10 mouths from
the time we declared war we shall not
have made single gum"
Explaining that by this he meant big
guns, howitzers, 75's, and noting that
"Some one" recently averred that we
have made seven, Mr.. Dale went on:
Shall we close our mouths if we believe
your boy and my boy may be sent into
that seething he'll without guns?
Have we a right to say something
about it?
when are we going to be interested
in this war? When 100 900, yes, 5O0000
graves, of United States soldiers lie under
the little wooden crosses? Oh, My Cod
Have we grown 50 stoical, so stupid, 50
insensible, that we must wait for that
before we realize what this awful war
means?
"We have herd some fine phrases
and beautiful diction about this war
Well never win the war while the u
boats sink twice the tonnage we can build,
while we haven't guns in France except
those we get from France, while Italy
can go down to defeat for lack of guns.
We'll never win this war or hope to
win it until, through men Of vision, men
Of ability and efficiency, we send our boys
more guns and supplies than they say
they need.
Don't believe that Germany is licked
either through the blockade or through
food shortage.
Germany has dug herself in on 70
miles of western front and on that line
by the use Of guns, and guns-this war
will be settled" Long and loud ap-
plause.)

The following letter was received

been in a hospital for nearly seven
months:

This strain Of optimism was the cheer
ing thought that ran through the fabric
ofsthe address, so strong that at the end
a Rutland audience-noted throughout
New England as cold and undemonstra-
tive-cried aloud go on, go on" and
applauded for several minutes until the
speaker, both mutely and through the
chairman implored the audience to have
a heart
Expressed briefly, that optimism
played like an electric impulse through
his references to the spirit OF the French.
Some say it was tactics; some say it
was German error, but what made the
French victorious at the Marne, at the
Somme and at Verdun was that spirit
that moves above the Allies, that inspires
them through this awful hell of war. 1t
is the Spirit of God himself and through
that Spirit the allies cannot fail" (At
this point the applause was almost
deafening)
" If the Hun had gone after the channel
ports of France" continued the speaker,
