Vermont Gets Ready to Tap.
Springfield Union. j


Save sugar by gathering sap is
the slogan Of the Vermont farmers, who
are already mendiEg their sap buckets
and getting everything in readiness for
bumper maple sugar crop the coming
spring. More trees than every before
IN the history of the state will be
tapped, and the state S production Of
maple sugar and syrup probably will be
record breaker, as a heavy sap run
nearly always follows 4 winter in which
the weather has been extremely cold.
1t IS, however, doubtful whether the ex
port of syrup from Vermont will be larg-
er this year than heretofore, regardless
OF the increased yield, as the farmers
OF Vermont have learned a lasting les
son from the cane and beet sugar short
age, and are likely to see that their own
needs are well provided for before they
ship any of the maple product to the
market. BE that as i may, the increased
production Of maple sugar and syrup
will aid materially in the conservation
OF cane and beet sugar, and will be of
direct public benefit in any event.

DISASTER and
DEATH IN TRAIL
OF News fake
Premature Peace Celebrations
Have Unfortunate Findings;
Whole Nation is Disap-
pointed by Hoax.

New York, Nov. 8.-Millions OF
Americans realized today that they
had been hoaxed into celebrating
the end of the war by publication of
the United Press dispatches declar-
ing the armistice signed and fight
Sng ended.
Twenty-four hours have passed
since the country was thrown into
1 delirium by these reports. which
declared the armistice had been
signed at II o'clock yesterday morn
ng and that fighting had ceased at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Each hour brings added official
evidence that the reports were false
md that the American people were
ooled. Not only have official COM
munications from France to the
State department at Washington
denounced the reports as untrue,
out the official statements of the
French and British war offices show
he fighting is still going on.
Far from signing an armistice at
II O'Clock yesterday morning. the
German delegates did not cross the
allied line until last night. This is
recorded in Associated Press dis
patches filed in Paris at 4:20 o'clock
this morning. The German dele
gates were to be conducted early to-
day to the meeting place, which is
four hours journey from La Capelle,
the place where they crossed the al
led lines.
The Associated Press did not re-
ceive or distribute any of the dis
patches which misled the American
people into celebrating the greatest
hoax Of recent years. On the other
hand. by investigation through Off
cial channels, the Associated Press
vas able to deny it.

The Wonderful Cali
When Baby Comes
Like the Blast Of Heavenly Trumpet
When Call Of Motherhood Il Felt.

Of all the most vital times in a woman's
life the coming of baby is fraught with the
greatest meaning. Care should be exercised
to insure that the crisis is passed in
safety.
Apprehension is avoided by the timely
use Of Mothers Friend, a preparation of
penetrating oils and medicinal ingredients,
which renders the muscles. cords. tendons
and ligaments pliable. and thus tension
Ia avoided. The usual nervousness, nausea,
bearing-d down and stretching pains are
counteracted and the period is one Of calm
repose.
The broad. flat abdominal muscles relax
with ease. and when baby comes the time
at the crisis is less and pain and danger
lis avoided.
Thousands of women for half century
have used this penetrating external app,i-
cation. prepared especially for expectant
mothers, and every woman awaiting the
crisis should give nature helping hand
Write the Bradfield Regulator Company,

Italians Pay Tribute to the

in obtaining victory than is gener-

the Italian war to a successful and
glorious conclusion" said Lieuten-

"At this hour" he continued.

about to be realized. il is interest
ing to look back and see the i'm
inense debt the entente owes to
America. Without its moral sup
port the allies might have given up
hope. Without its food the allies
might have been starved. Without
its supplies and materials it might
have been an impossibility to carry
on the war. Thus Italy might
never have had the chance to OBJ

Destoyers Menace to
All Craft on Seas in
Dashes in Darkness

On Board an American Vessel in
Trench Waters.-(Corrc spondence
of he Associated Press. AN
American vessel with her depth
bombs ready to be discharged is in
deed a dangerous craft to monkey
with. She is a menace not only to
the enemy, but to any other craft
with which she might collide, and to
herself as we'll, in, the darkness
running without lights. If one of
her depth bombs loaded with its
heavy charge Of INT should be ac-
cidentally exploded there would be
little left of the destroyer.
The deadly depth charge. which is
proving to be the conclusive answer
to the submarine menace now, is be-
ing released from every quarter of
the destroyer. Two of these big
cylinders of high explosives can be
dropped from the bridge by the
pressure of a button. amidships
Thorncroft throwers drop a charge
from either side of the destroyer,
forming a barrage.
"Y-guns" are stationed amid
ship with two barrels, each of which
throws a depth charge one to port
an. the other to starboard. Finally
astern. there are two long lines of
depth charges running on miniature
r; ;lway tracks, ready to be dropped
over the stearn.
With all these depth bomb charg-
e. ready to be let loose forward, aft
and amidships a complete envel-
oping barrage can be put in oper-
alton any time. With the Destroy
ers completely enveloping the trans
ports the water barrage extends its
protecting sweep entirely around the
fleet.
Great care is taken against any
collisions in the darkness which
would release the depth charges.
While the shock of a collision would
not cause an explosion the depth
bomb might destroy its own ship by
exploding when it reached the depth
fixed by the fuse. Such an explosion
has actually occurred in one case,
doing considerable damage but caus-
ing no fatalities. This incident has
given warning OF the extreme care
needed to guard against night COL
lisions when the fleet is going
through the darkness with all the
lights out.
