ARMY GENERALIZATION
Soldiers VIII Be Permitted to Return
to Civil Life as Rapidly as
Military and Industrial Con-
ditions Permit

A plan is now being formulated by
the Federal authorities for the reduc-
ton of the number of men in our
army and navy to keep pace with the
probable rapid decrease in the re-
quirements for such forces.
Questionnaires have been sent by
the War Industries Board to indus
trial establishments of all kinds
throughout the country for the pur-
pose of securing information as to
their needs for men. The Employ
ment Service of the U. S. Department
of Labor is using it's extensive facili-
ties in the effort to secure necessary
information in the matter. New
bureaus will also probably be estab,
lished in the War and Navy Depart.

of seeing to it that discharged sol
diers and sailors secure suitable en-
ployment without delay or difficulty
and without undue disturbance Of
labor conditions when they leave tht
service.

Dear Ma and Pa:
I am still alive and enjoying the

We are still at the front and
seeiNg more excitement here than we
ever did before. am very sorry to
say but last night we lost seven more
of my good comrade fellows, and you

after fighting with them for nearly a
year. But fellow doesn't have much
time to think about tNsse things now
because all we can do is to keep on
fighting and l know some day soon
the old "Boche" is going to say he
has had enough. l have seen quite a
few fellows from home lately and it
cheered me up quite a bit. Harry
Petty is looking fine.
We expect to be back of the lines
soon and then shall try to see How
ard.
Love to all,
RAYMOND.

gational churches of Vermont are
planning to join with the Congrega-
tional churches of the country in a
great cooperative movement known
as the "Every-member Drive" which
will eliminate on Sunday, December
9Th. "Every-member" means not
merely every church member, but
every church attendant, every Sunday
School scholar and every constituent
and adherent, and the main object of
the drive is to enlist all Of these more
fully and deeply in the fundamental
work for which the church stands.
1t is estimated that throughout the
country 10000 visitors will call on
about 100000 persons, during the af-
ternoon of the eighth. Here in Yer
mont the figures are; visitors, 1900;
persons who will be called on 100000
The visitors will go in teams of two
The financial goal for the drive fol
the country is $16,000,000, of which
Vefmont's share is fixed at $350,000
The plan is to secure pledges on the
eighth for the entire amount needed
to meet the expenses of each local
church for the year 1919, and also
for the amount needed to meet in full
the church apportionment for mis-
sionary work in Vermont, America
and the world

THE "BLIMP"
DID THE TRICK
Dropped Bomb and Blew a Submar-
inc to Pieces

inc to Pieces
London, Oct. 80, Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-Out from
dense fog streaking the sea shot a
small dirigible called "blimp", man
ned by three Allied flyers Directly in
front of them a mile away, was u,
boat with it's coming tower and decks
we'll out of the water, says an account
of one of the most successful en-
counters of British aircraft with a
German submarine.
Opening out his engine to it's full
capacity, the pilot steered straight for
the German craft, many of whose
crew were on deck They had seen
the airship approaching and immedia-
, tely brought quick-fring gun into
action. With shells bursting about
them, the ai1men pushed on and soon
were within effective machine-gun
range
The observer used his gun to such
good effect that with one drum he
accounted for the submarines gun
crew. Thereupon the Germans, with
out waiting to rescue their wounded,
began hurriedly to submerge.
Meanwhile the wireless operator Of
the "blin1p'' was busy sending out ur-
gent signals to various patrol boats
and submarine chasers known to be in
the vicinity.
Climbing to height of about 1900
feet, the pilot now got ready to use
the machines heavy bombs. The u
boat, although submerged was still
easily visible, and taking careful aim
through his sights the "blimp's" gun
ner pulled the trigger of the releasing
gear.
The airship, released of a heavy
weight, shot up like an express eleva-
tor in a New. York skyscraper, bat
careless of its movements its occu-
pants hung over watching the bomb
sink swiftly untilsit struck the water.
perhaps two hundred feet ahead of
the target.
When it's fuse came into action, a
flash of lightning seemed to rip
through the dark depths of the ocean,
and a peculiar brown, cloudy mass
enveloped the fore part of the u
boat.
1t seemed ages before the effect OF
the explosion reached the surface
Then like geyser, the water shot
into the air. In the center of distur-
bance the gaping hull of the submar-
inc slowly appeared and its crew could
!, be seen leaping overheard.
By this time two British motor
launches were racing to the spot, but
} they fortunately were far enough
away to escape the effects of a ter
rife explosion which now occurred
| The magazine of the U-boat had beer
fired, and with a succession of nigh
ty detonations the whole craft was lit
orally blown to pieces.
The occupants Of the "blimp' were
badly shaken, but they escaped with
out injury.

London, Nov 28-Reuter's CORES
pondent, who visited the U-boat aven-
ue off Harwich where the surrendered
submarines are now anchored, states
that the avenue is a mile long. The
submarines are towed on either side
in groups of threes and fours. When
the officers were asked as to the
whereabouts of their flags they re-
piled that their emblem was red. The
correspondent visited the submarine
of the Deutchland type and saw blood
stained cat-o-nine tails which a Brit
ish sailor had found under the cap
tain's bunk.

as we kept straight and attended to
our own business. There was only
one disadvantage and that was we had
to come back to camp and eat out of
mess kit and get up at 5.45 every
morning. We are entitled to these
leaves every four months, but this is
the first one | had taken, but | am

if I should be back home l shall not

There are three leave areas here now

which place to go as we have our
choice. Well l don't know as | can

New York, Feb. with the en-
tire country urged to turn its efforts
to Increase the food supply by raising
farm products, poultry. etc, Herbert
X. Job, of the National Association OF

farming is not only profitable. but a
delightful occupation.
1T is real pleasure to see ones
own broods of pheasants or quails
feeding on the lawn or in the pasture.
or ones own wild ducks swimming
trustingly to their protector on the
pond shore asking for food--the same
wild game species, IL may be, that
one has hunted in glorious bygone
days afeld," says Mr. Job IN the
Journal OF the Museum OF Natural
History. Il can speak from happy ex-
perience. as can many others. and |
advise lovers OF the great outdoors and
its wild deniyens to try for themselves
this new, intimate relationship with
wild bird life"
Mr. Job gives practical suggestion
for the work and the different kinds
of game with which to experiment.
No one is qualified to undertake
IT., he says, who has not a deep m
terest in the birds themselves Al

learn the technique by first hand *

begin as an adjunct TO other di, ersl-
Ned farming and make a gradual and
healthy increase.

good for tryout They are easily

ease than some and every dealer can
furnish booklets showing how to pro-
coed. This ia considered the most
lucrative form OF game breeding al
though many are going into 1t. The

prolific. and both birds and eggs bring
excellent prices with wide demand for
them.
