SERIES OF BAND
CONCERTS ASSURED
Board of Trade Committee Reports
Pledges of About S3O0-Hopes to
Have Seine Sunday Concerts.

Concerts in Brattleboro this summer
by the Brattleboro Military band are
assured. The board of trade committee
to raise funds for this object, of which
E. j. Fenton was chairman, reports that
about $500 has been pledged 1t is
hoped that little more money may be
received so that few Sunday afternoon
concerts may be held. The regular
series will not begin until next week
as a little time is needed in which to
procure new music and hold rehearsals
The details of the arrangements which
make this $500 necessary already have
been stated in The Reformer.

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY, Sun.

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY, sun
day, by The Associated Press.-The
Austrian troops which crossed the Piave
river have been driven back. The fight
ing along the river is most intense. No
where else along the front of the attack
has the battle been so severe as on the
Piave. One of the most brilliant of the
Italians actions was the defense of the
Mosehin salient protecting the impor-
tant Brenta positions. Here the Aus
trians suffered heavy losses. Many OF
their machine guns were captured. The
prisoners are ragged and i'll fed. Many
of them are understood youths. One
of them remarked to correspondent
that he had no interest in the war.

An Appreciation or The
U. S. Military Academy

A general officer of the army notes
with approval a tribute to West
Point that appeared In the San An
tonic CTexas) Light. 1t says in part:
''The worst miscalculation of the
Kaiser and his military advisers has
been in the American soldier. The
German had studied our wars, and
our method of raising armies, and he
laid it down rs hard and unalter-
able fact that America could threat
en- but that it could not raise and
train an effective army for fighting
In Europe. They all failed to realize
what West Point has meant to this
nation in the past, and what it now
means to all the world. You cannot
have n fighting army without trained
leaders, and you cannot have the ma
terial for An army In proper sence,
without universal service such as the
congress of the United States hesita-
tingly granted. The two things COM
btned have given us an army, in
comparatively short order, and it has
left an imperishable fame for itself
In the final spasms of this greatest of
all wars. The best Investment Am
erica has ever made for itself, in pro-
viding for the foundation of All army,
10 that it made at West Point, and
the same can be said of the navy, at
Annapolis. Without these, with all
our wealth, we could not have made
the honorable showing that has been
made. When the present war ends,
the regular establishment OF the
army should consist Of not less than
A,quarter OF a million of men, the Ell
lArgement OF West Point should be
insured, and universal training
should follow. Peace must have II
certain police power hack Of it to in
sure its continuance, and America
will have to provide her quota of the
necessary police force to make this
possible"
