SEES TRAGEDY OF FRENCH BABIES

"Can you imagine anything more pitiful than the lives of children who have never known anything but war; Is there anywhere on Gods green earth Il more dreadful tragedy than the tragedy of blighted childhoodT asked Dr. Esther Lovejoy on return ing from Red Cross work fin France.
 'I have spent six months in the nearest approach to hell that exists, believe, In or out of the teachings of the theologians-the hell where babies are born to hear the sound of bursting shells as their introduction to this world of ours, where little ones learn their mother tongue only furtively and in whispers, where children must learn to wear their little gas masks as soon as they learn to walk, where suspicion and fear rule and love and confidence are not. And I'm going back again to stay until the German army and Ger man ideas and beliefs are wiped of the face of the earth"

I. w. HATCH PRESIDENT
Of Vermont State Spiritualist Associa-
tion-Election Held in Barre.

Students of occult science, seekers aft
er truth and curious folk who know lit
tie but would like to know more about
spiritualitm and theosophy were present
in numebrs at meetings in the Pavilion
theatre through the week end while the
Vermont State Spritualists' association
was engrossed in its three day conven-
| tion. The meetings came to a close
| Sunday evening, when Rev. Henri Sent
ner of Worcester Mass, continued his
contacts with the spirit world. Sizea-
| BILE audiences assembled for the Saturday
night meeting and again yesterday many
manifested their interest in the mes
sages by shivering through two and
three hour sittings with the medium.
The low temperature of the theatre was
the only dispiriting feature of the con-
vention on its material side.
Much of the lecturing was done by
Rev. George A. Fuller of Greenwich Viii
lage, Mass, who has been preaching
spiritualsm for the past 80 years. He
made his plea for liberal Christianity
and undertook to show that the religion
of the spiritualists is overcoming some
of the intolerance encountered in years
agone. He emphasized the practical side
OF occult science and said that a belief
which did not resucitate knowledge, joy,
power, success and health had no place
in the world to-day. All of the mes
sages from the other side were deliv-
cred by Rev. Mr. Sentner, whose spirit
control" as the believes designate ii,
is the spirit of Chinaman. Many ques-
tions were received from the audience
and answered through the medium Mu-
sic was furnished by Mrs. A. w. Allen
and Stanley Marsh.
At the afternoon meeting Saturday
the following officers were elected for
1918: President, l. w. Hatch of Bur
lington; first vice president, c. H. Ingalls, |
Of Montpelier; second vice president, S. |
$. Smith of Barre; third vice president, |
Mrs. Lettie Griffith Of Barre; secretary
Miss Gertrude Pearsons of Montpelier: /
treasurer, Mrs. Ellen NJ Ward OF South |
Barre chairman of the board of man
ayers, E. J. Falton of Montpelier, mem
bers, ;. s. Smith, G. H. Ingalls,, Mrs.
Benjamin Daley of Montpelier, Mrs Let
lie Griffith; auditors, Mrs. Belle Hutch
ms of Barre, Jay L. Smith OF st. Al.
pans. The spiritualists have not decided
where they will hold their next annual
meeting.

GLYSSON WOULD RUN AGAIN.
And So Would Aldermen Healy, Rey-
nolds and Alexander, It Is Thought.

With the annual mid February eau
cuses scarcely more than a fortnight
away, city and ward politics are being
the pre-caucus interest manifested In
some years has developed vet. and there
are those who are looking for a quiet
year. Mayor Glysson. who is rounding
out his first year at the helm, is quoted
as saying that he will be a candidate il
there is demand for his return. Ii is
matter of common knowledge among
his friends that he is committed TO
policy OF economy this year. and that he
favors consistent retrenchment until the
war is ended. No other names have been
mentioned broadly. although there are
one OF two casual mentionees. Even
though designs on the executive chair
arc being nursed. the time is not ripe, il
j. said. for fat-footed announcements.
and the plain. matter -of-fact statement
from the mayor. saying that he will
stand for reelection if there is a de-
mand for his candidacy is the only tanei-
bic development.
Aldermanic elections are 10 be held j.,
the second. fourth and sixth wards this
year Nothing in the way Of = declara-
tion has been received from Alderman
Healy. Alderman Reynolds or Alderman
Alexander. but there is a feeling that
their case is much the same a. the may
or's. They viii not refuse t. stand for
election Il there j. anything like a rep
Iesentatlvc call from their constituents.

TO LEAVE CAMP GREENE.
Vermont Soldiers May Be Sent to Camp
Wadsworth.

Camp Greene, Charlotte, n. c., jan %
That the Ne wEngand troops here vii
sooner or later be ordered to Camp Wads
worth is indicated at headquarters oi
Major General Dickman Z. S. A., com
manding Camp Greene, though it is moi
expected that such an order will be is
sued until there is room at Camp Wads
worth for the depot brigade"
Reports to this effect have been in cir
culation since the departure of General
Sweetser early this month. While head.
quarters of Camp Greene has withheld
announcement of the purpose of sending
General Sweetser to Spartansburg, it was
learned that he was assigned to the pio-
neer division.
1t has not been announced who will
command the pioneer division. The brig
ades will be commanded by General
Sweetser, Brigadier General c. T. O'Neill
of the Pennsylvania National Guard, who
was stationed at Camp Hancock, Angus
ia, Ga, Brigadier General James Will
son, formerly in command of the 4th
regiment, New York National Guard and
Brigadier General Randolph A. Richards,
national army.
The fact that General Sweetser has
been assigned to one of these brigades
has occasioned the belief both at Camp
Wadsworth and Camp Greene that the
New England depot brigade will be re-
organized and expanded to form one com
plete brigade. As constituted at present,
the brigade includes the 5th, 9th and Sth
Massachusetts infantry regiments, the
lst Connecticut infantry, lst Vermont
infantry, lst Maine heavy field artillery.
Connecticut signal corps company and
New Hampshire signal corps company.
The signal corps companies already have
been sent to Camp Wadsworth.

crease

Amsterdam, Jan. 2s.--For the first
time in the history of Turkey complete
census of the whole empire is to be TAX
en-. A German statistician has been ap-
pointed to superintend the preliminary
formatlities. The Turkish newspaper
Sabah says: 1--WE are the only nation
in Europe not excluding even the Bal
kan states which possesses no official
statistirs of our population
The estimated population of Turkey
before the war was roughly 2l,O00000, of
which 100000 were Turks, 5000 900
Arabs, 100000 Armenians. 500 900
Greeks, 100000 Kurds. and the remain
der Druses, Jews, and the smaller tribes.
The Turkish newspapers have recently
shown some anxiety as to the large de
crease in population lately caused bv
the war and the prevalence of disease.
and have urged the government to take
steps to decrease mortality and increase
the birthrate.

Some Towns Have Met Allotment But
Keep Working.

of active work in the statewide campaign
of the Knights of Columbus war camp
organization, the optimism of everyone
connected with the drive, from state chair

tions from people who had not vet been

BAKER DEFENDED a

Said Statement of Chamberlain Made It
Appear That Mistakes Were "Char-

casional"

Baker to-day replied to Senator Cham
berlain's charges of inetiiciency in the
war department at a public hearing be.
fore the Senate military committee. He
made his statement without manuscript
He said he thought that much criticism
came from the impatience of the Ameri-
can people "to do this great thing great
ly."
Secretary Baker conceded that in so
great enterprise it was impossible that
there should not be delays and short
comings. ell said that the confidence of
the country was necessary to the ire
mendous effort. He declared that the
mistakes cited by Chamberlain gave a
disproportionate aspect without intent
He said that the effect of the senator's
speech was to give the country the i'm
preston that the deficiencies were Char
acteristic rather than occasional"
