as during the war, and it should be
considered privilege as well as a duty
by all who are now identified With i

News that the Red Cross is planning
Tor enlarged home service work brings
to mlnd the rather disappointing fact
that the Windham county chapter has
not yet organized for this important
activity, although the need Of il in
tins locality must be as great as IN
other parts of the state where if has
been III active operation for months
past.
While the burning of the Bradley
factory in Putncy will doubtless mean
an increased number of employees in the
concern 5 Brattlehoro plant, it is nev-
erthelesS distinct misfortune for this
town as we'll as for Putncy. As The
Meddler has said on SO MANY previ-
Gus occasions, Brattleboro's prosperity
depends as much upon the good fortune
OF the smaller towns adjacent to il as
upon the success of its own industries.
and a blow like that which has fallen
upon Putney through the destruction
OF the Bradley shops is bound 10 mako
itself felt here Without lessening onr
sympathy for Putnev. however. we
may take satisfaction in the thought
that the Bradley corporation had al
ready established part of its rapidly
growing business here and will doubt
less make this town its headquarters
from now on. That is the next best
thing to having the concern operating
plants in both places.
Evidence is not wanting to prove
that Brattleboro present industrial
outlook is more encouraging than at
any time since the outbreak of the war
IN the summer of 1914. With the
slac kening of activity in many of the
erstwhile industries throughout New
England there is already a perceptible
labor drift toward communities whose
manufacturing plants depend on nor
NAL times for good business, and Brat.
tleboro unquestionably is in the lat
ter class. Within the past ten days
something like % families have re-
turned from towns to which they were
drawn year or more ago by the lure
OF war wages, and it is not unreasona-
bic 10 expect that >others will come
back as fast as local industries are able
to absorb their working members.
How fast that is will depend, of
course, upon the speed with which
business reaches normal basis, but it
looks now as if the demand for such
products as Brattleboro makes would
steadily increase from now on.

 There are sixty wide gauge locomo- tives, complete, ready to set up; four teen narrow gauge locomotives: un- numbered crates containing car parts; car wheels galore; rails to build sev- eral hundred miles of track; a com- pound engine or two; a huge locomo tive crane, and crates and kegs and boxes of other material, besides huge shed filled with small parts of railroad machinery.

 The material has been accumulating for a considerable period. but was not moved to it's present location until last fall. Three months ago part of it was loaded in Russian ships which expected to take it to Vladivostok, but suddenly an order came from Washington an- nouncing that the ships would not be allowed to clear until conditions in Russia were more satisfactory The great crates were lifted out of the ships holds and returned to the cars.
 Many who know of the storage here of the great quantity of railroad equip ment, so badly needed at home, wonder that the United States government does not commander it for use on American railways

 PARIS, Oct. 19.-The French statement says:
 ''On the Disc front the enemy was completely repulsed. East of the Disc our troops have advanced along the canal from Disc to Vaudeville. They occupied the forest of Andigny and the villages of Etreat and Venerolles and con- tinued with their right wing the pursuit of the enemy begun yes terday between the Disc and La Fere
 The first army today achieved new successes. Rivemont and the position dominating Villersle- Sec fell into our honds.
 More to the east we went be- yond Fais Les Noyers and Catillon de Temple.
 "On the Serre front the tenth army this morning started an at tack on the Funding line near Pouilly, and the marsh of Sis some on a front of five kilometers. This position, which was power fully organized and comprised two lines of trenches, protected by a
  vided with numerous concrete dug outs. was forced by our troops who broke the enemy's stubborn re- sistance. We realized an advance of 1,200 meters in depth. The vil- lage and flour mill of Vendeuill and the Athatrud farm and Fay les Sec are in our hands. The number of prisoners runs into thousands.
 West of Barenton, enemy coun- ter attacks by important effectives who had received the order to hold on at all costs, have been repulsed with heavy losses. Between Sis some and Chateau Porcien, the fight has not been less spirited. Local attacks brought us appreci- able progress. We have reached the road from Sissonne to La Selve and have carried several fortified works.
 More to the east we hold Beth ancourt, Espagne, Tinain and Compiers. Between these villages and Nizy le Comte and west of Chateau Porcien, our troops also came into contact with the Hun ding line. Our troops attacked after a short artillery preparation and took Germainmont. Seven hundred prisoners were taken in the course of this fighting.
 ''In the region of Vouziers, the battle continued the whole day with extreme stubborness. On the heights east of the Aisne we have taken, after a hard struggle, the Marquart farm and Hill 193, east of Vandy. More to the south We captured the village of Ches- teres, and went far beyond this village. We took more than 400 prisoners and captured ten cannon and some machine guns.'

Some of the crates were broken on their journey across the continent or in unloading and one crew is now engaged in re- creating this material.
 In the yards are eight miles of spur track. It is said to be one of the best equipped and arranged yards on the west coast. A high board fence, topped with barbed wire, keeps out intruders. and armed guards re on hand day and night.
 About the yards are ten searchlights on S6foot poles, each, with it's reflec- tor, shedding a light equivalent to 2,500 candle power, and at night the light is so well diffused that there are few shadows. To get into the yard it is necessary to have a p;Ns. A. PevZoff, N. E., representative of

MYSTERY IN A LONG
 UNUSED RAILROAD

(Seattle st-Intelligencer)
 In the old Meadows yards along the DuWamashi river in Washington where once the ponies raced, today are idle railroad machinery, equipment and rails valued upward of s20,000,000
 While the railroads of the United States are sorely in need of locomo- tives and cars, and on the other side of the world the poor Russians are suffer- ing because transportation facilities are lacking to carry the surplus of one district to the almost famine stricken people in another part of the great empire, this material lies rusting. It belongs to the Russian govern ment. The czar's government? The Milyukoff temporary regime? Keren- sky's provisional government? The bolsheviki? The men in charge of the yards shake their heads. They can not answer.
 How long will it remain there? | The answer to that question is an- other. How soon will the situation in

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The British communication follows:
 This morning the British and American forces operating in con- junction with the French between the Disc river and. .Le Cateau, con- tinued their advance with success. Our troops have reached the west bank of the Sambre and Disc canal north of Disc and gained posses sion of the high ground west of Catillon.
 In the operations in the past three days in this sector, the troops of General Rawlinson's fourth ar my have completed an advance of from five to eight miles across difficult country, which the enemy defended with tenacity.
 Having driven the enemy on the first day from strong positions held by him on the right banks of the Selle river, by determined and persistent fighting, they have sue cessfully cleared the whole of the high ground east of the river line, capturing many villages in the course of their advance, together with more than 5000 prisoners and a number of guns.
 The enemy has commenced to withdraw north of the Cambrai road. Saulzer has been occupied by our troops and progress has been made toward Domain from the south.
 North of the Sensee canal our troops already have entered Domain and reached the villages of Es- caudin and Somain. To the left of these troops, the eighth division has taken Marchiennes
 During the past ten days the troops of this division which have been continuously in the line for a long period and on a wide front have maintained unceasing press ure on the enemy and by their en- ergy and activity, their pursuit has greatly harassed his retreat.
 Tn the course of their advance of more than Is miles, they. have captured several hundred prisoners and taken the town of Douai be- sides many villages. a
 Further north, our troops are steadily continuing their advance. They have reached the general line of Orchies, CObrieuX, Bourghelles and Templeuve and southeast of RoubaiX, the village of Nechin.'

Reports received here from Torreon, Santa Rosalia, Chi huahua City and other Mexican towns scl of desperate conditions, due to the 1nflucnza epidemic. At Chihuahua CIty. the state capital, one man reports go bodies lying on the ground at the municipal cemetery, because the graves could not be dug fast enough to bury them.
 Medical supplies have been eX- laustcd In many of these towns and settlements and the few nurses and doctors are unable to cope with the epidemic. The disease has made it's appearance in tlle federal army at santa Rosalia and is spreading rapidly among the soldiers of the state, whose resistance is low because of tEeir primitive mode of living.

Patriotism As Political Asset
(From New York Sum

Arizona is some distance from our bailiwick but the election of Congressman from that state is of i'm portance to us and hence of interest Arizona owns only One-a Representatives. Large. He is Mr. Carl Hayden, or, if information is correct he should be called Major Hayden of some part of the United States Army. And thereby hangs the fol- lowing tale:
 Congressman-Major Hayden voted against nearly all the measures in preparation for war in the Congress- He voted it true for the actual declaration of war; but followed that with vote against conscription. Thus he did nearly all he could to hamper and inter- fere with the energetic and sane prosecution of the war.
 But he is a candidate for reelection and running against him is a man who holds leutenant's con- mission and is and has been actually serving in France. Realizing that this left him at a disad- vantage, Candidate Hayden, at the last moment, slipped off to Washington and succeeded in dragging down a Majors commission within the last few weeks. Thus he proves his patriotism at rather be- yond the eleventh hour-say about II :49 P. NJ.
 It is reported however, that even this sort of con- version to militancy is not doing him much good or acquiring popularity for him. Are the Arizona vot- CTS to be so easily fooled? This is the kind of man that Congress can do very well without And what is to be thought of War Department that creates this kind of "Major?"
