SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came 10 the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
a short time ago. one was a story OF
bravery that brought the tears, and
one tale OF tears that brought smiles.
The first story was OF a soldier who

a cigarette was between his lips. plac-

And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story OF

canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks She was curious TO
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over

CASE AT FARLEY
Balkan Question Also to Be
Settled Around Confer
ence Table

Amsterdam, July 24.--Germany has
made suggestions for peace conference
to the Spanish government, says the
Socialist Vorwaerts Of Berlin.
The suggestions are;
First-Germany wants no annexations
or indemnities in the west.
Second-The peace treaties with Rus
STA and Rumania may not be questioned.
Third The principle Of self -determi.
nation of peoples has not been discussed
but may be settled at the peace confer
ence, where the fate of Belgium also is
to be settled
Fourth-The Balkan question is to be
settled around the conference table.
Fifth-The freedom of the seas, the
dismantling of Gibraltar and the Suez
canal and the right for Germany to use
coaling stations.
Sixth The colonial question is to be
settled on the basis of the status quo.
The vorwaerts considers this a very
reasonable peace program,

the correspondent Of the Associated
Press, Major General Eben Swift, last
year in charge Of Camp Gordon, Atlanta,
Ga, and now commanding the American
military mission to Italy.
Il tell you we will win so soon as we

get hold of the fighting ideas peculiar
to this war, as they are rapidly doing
now through association with the French,
English, and Italian troops"

of a soldier he makes, and I insist that
he is going to turn out most formidable
fighter, standing comparison with any
soldier in Europe | have visited the
armies Of the allies and have seen the
kind Of men they have, and | am sure we
are going to be proud Of our soldiers
when they have had the advantage of
learning from our allies and at the same
time doing some fighting with the enemy
himself. The Germans are not fools and
believe they already fear us"
"0ne Of the big factors in making our
army great is that OF discipline. The
men commanding our army are said to
be merciless in matters affecting discip-
line, in questions of putting the right
officers, in the right place, of eliminating
favoritism and unfit men, and this is as
it should be. BY mereiless discipline,
however, do not mean i'll treatment of
soldiers or anybody.
This army is ours that we are build

the Germans for somewhat the same rea-
sons, perhaps, that Napoleon was defeat
ed in Europe after fifteen years Of vic
tory or that Of the Confederate army
was defeated in our Civil war. Time Is
working in favor of the allies. The Ger
mans have not succeeded in obtaining
any overwhelming decision in this war,

er, will themselves, demand and obtain

BARCLAY STATE CHAMPION.
Barre Man Made Highest Score in Trap
shooting Tournament.

The tenth annual tournament of the
Vermont State Trapshooting association
was held with the Lamoille Valley Gun
club at Morrisyille July II and Is, and
was one of the most successful shoots
ever held in the state. Forty eight faced
the traps the first day in drizzling rain
and 81 the second day.
The state championship at 10 yards
was very closely contested, it being in
doubt until the last target was broken
Twigg finished with %, and in order for
Barclay to win the event he was forced
to make 20 straight on his last string in
order to win his third consecutive cham
pionship of the state. He did this in fine
style, and the smashing of his last target
was met with applause from the large
gallery.
The preliminary was won by Moulton,

tons Vermont handicap was won by

was shot off on two events of 20 each
both going straight in the first and Nudd
winning the second 20 TO IL.
The state championship was won by
Barclay with 92, with Twigg runnerup
at "a and Purdy third with 90,
The presence of the members of the
Vermont volunteer militia, in uniform
shooting through the program, was a
novel and interesting feature When the
scores are examined, ii must be remem-
bered that but few of these men had
shot more than 30 targets before this
tournament, and with this in mind their
work was remarkable.
