not be announced from the adiutant gen,

cause of the fact that recently when
the quotas were announced in advance
of train arrangements, the date had TO
be changed and second notice given

are doing very well with the self Undue
tion of men who want to 60 To the Uni.
yersity of Vermont and generally speak
ing, each county will probably have its
quota by self-induction. Lamoile coun.
ty, which is allotted seven men, has more
than enough, Bennington with 20 has
more than enough, while Washington
county will probably exceed its number

Manuel Pereda. who lives on upper
Barre street, is in Heaton hospital for
care as result of motorcycle accident
that took place Tuesday evening near
the l.. n. Jerue home on the Barre road,
when he was thrown from the machine
and suffered broken collar bone and
other injuries. Pereda has recently pur.
chased a motorcycle and was driving
rather fast for the turns in that sec
ton of the city, when the machine
slipped from under him and he was
thrown onto the car track, the machine
going with him. He landed with great
force, which broke the collar bone and
gave him many bruises. There were va
rous reports about the accident, one
that he was killed and another that he
had been hit by an automobile; but the
police, after investigating the affair,
found the above TO be the status OF the
accident. Pereda, although unable to
talk English, was able forcibly to ex
press himself in profanity at the hos
pital.
