HURRY|NG TO CRISIS
Opinion al London Encouraged BY Cry For
Peace and Apparent Condition Of
InCipient Revolt

London, Jan. 22.-Austria- Hun.
gary's cry for peace, accompanied ap.
parently by condition of incipient
revolt, is featured by the morning
newspapers as a fact that is hurry
ing the dual monarchy to a crisis.
Long dispatches from Amsterdam
show that the workers have become
desperate because of lack of food
and general war WEAKNESS.
There is an evident connection
OF the strike movement with the ne
EQUATIONS at Brest-Litovsk, which
nave encouraged the socialists to in
slst that the war shall not be pro-
longed merely for the purpose of ter
ritorial aggression.
While most newspapers here at
tach the greatest Importance to the
upheaval and some infer that the
Austrian government is encourage
ing the movement in a genuine en-
deavor to promote peace, the fact
that the censorship has permitted re-
ports to be telegraphed from Vienna
with unwonted freedom suggest to
other commentators that there NAV
be deliberate purpose behind the
license allowed in Vienna.
The Daily Mail, for instance, sug-
gests that it may be case of sham
ming death to impress the labor par
ties of the entente countries with
the idea that Austria is ready to ac-
cept Bolshevik peace.
Reports from Switzerland men,

tors at some places in Austria
Clashes between hungry civilians and |
soldiers are reported, while in some
instances it is said the soldiers re-
used to fire on the demonstrators
when ordered to do so. At Gratz,

DATES FOR HOG
RALLY AND SALE
Jan Is, at Dresden and Feb. z, at Martin.
A Squeezing Time is Expected When
Hogs Brought to Town.

The Food Administration has com.
pleted plans for the hog rally and
sales to take place on Saturday, Jan
70, at Dresden, and on Feb 2, al
Martin. On these dates every hog
raiser, farmer, farm boy and others
Interested in making a good profit
for this year and wanting to assist
In making Weakley county's increase
in hog production are requested TO
attend these meetings.
Every farmer having a gilt or "a
brood sow that can be recommended
for suitable breeding stock is reoues-
ted to bring them to these places on
the above dates. Likewise every
one who intends to purchase breeding
gifts or sows is requested to come in
and look the stock over, and buy If
suited. The recent hog survey tax
en- by workers of the administration
shows that there are a great number
OF desirable breeding hogs in the
county that farmers prefer to sell
for this purpose rather than to shin,
Many are offering to sell these for
a low price in order to help out the
cause. The survey also shows that
a great number of farmers have no
hogs at all, not even a brood sow
and also number of men who are
planning on carrying one or more
'ows than was carried last year.
The condition shows that our al
Gifted share, 1000 sows over what
We had last year could easily be car
led, If only the farmers who make
t a practice to bay pigs rather than
'alse them could be induced to keep
ows this year. The administration
SKIS that we breed 1000 sows more

o our part.
Come out to these meetings, bring
our surplus breeding stock and help
'unch some plans to get these hogs.
With your assistance and the as
stance offered by the bankers we

canoe that the mention of British troops
has not been made in connection with
the present drive of the Germans north
east of Paris. The absence of the men
tion of the British in this battle probably
means that the forces of the British ma
ton have all been concentrated on the
northern section of the long battle line
and that the Americans and the Italians
are being depended upon to help the
French smash the offensive. That fact
alone should convince the German war
leaders that they were far wrong in es-
timating the strength of the American
forces in France. No doubt France need

The Forward Season.

The first week in June sees Vermont
two weeks in advance Of the average sea
son and fully three in advance Of last
season, which was from week TO ten
days later than the average. Field straw
berries have been ripening for week and
many families in Brandon have already
enjoyed shortcake stuffed with this de-
licious wild fruit. Last year it was the
last week in June when they were suffi
GENTLY ripened to promise a shortcake.
Last year the majority OF gardens in
Brandon were planted around the first of
June: this year the majority of gardens
showed a two weeks growth on that
date. And if Nature is kind from this
time on, both garden and field crops will
be well matured and out of the way OF
the early fall frosts, and this country

in all food products, from dandelion to
wheat, corn, potatoes and pork. Let the

up the growing grain in France with
shells we shall have huge surplus to
take its place. France is our ally, and
we must make her people feel welcome

volunteered. There has been no Stacker
ism among them; they have given of
their efforts freely and willingly. Such
marked display of patriotism could not
fail to attract favorable notice through
out the entire country, and the progress
Of the Roosevelt boys in the war has
been followed with unusual interest.
Now there comes sharp pang of regret
over the news from Europe that Lieu
tenant Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest
son of the ex.president, who had elected
the aviation corps as his branch of the
service, has fallen victim in an encoun-
ter with German air squadron over the
Marine sector The early reports of the
affair leave some hope that Lieutenant
Roosevelt was not killed in his fall after
an encounter with the Germans and that
he, wounded, may be prisoner. What
ever the outcome there will be strong
sympathy for the members of the Roose-
welt family. No doubt the ex-president
will meet his sorrow with fortitude Just
as he has met all the hard things that
have come into his pathway during these
many years of buffeting; and he will be
able to bring comfort to the other mem
bsrs of the family. If it should be ascer-
tanned that Lieutenant Roosevelt went
to his death in the encounter there viii
be the satisfaction to the Roosevelts that
he died while doing his bit for his coun-
try.

Essex county by Col Benton and Mrs.
Samuel w. Mccall, wife of Gov. Mccall,
of Boston, both former residents of the
county and natives of Guildhall, was a
happy thought and expresses the deep in
terest those who have gone from Yer

proud of these former residents and will
cherish this gift, which marks a noted

This practice is specifically disapproved
