have been relatively small Therefore
when they contemplate what vast
American army can do they must be sub
ieet to some doubts as TO the final out

whether the German war lords are cor
reetly informed about the rapidity Of the
coming Of the forces Of the United States,
And il their usual channels of informa.
tion are open they must have been cor
reetly informed because the statements
of Secretary Baker from time to time
have hewn rather closely TO the truth,
undertaking the conditions II anything,
but giving fairly accurate view of the
marvellous development of the American
army in France. Secretary Baker now
says that the time is near at hand when
the United States will have a million
fighting men in France The Germans
may take that for an accurate portrayal,
and no bluff.

The assertion made in The Barre Daily
Times few days previous regarding
the Tauber Ryttenberg & Co.'S shirt
factory is misinformation. We are
very sorry the person who wrote same
had been misrepresented by some out
side party, as there are no such prices
paid our operators as quoted.
When the writer came to Barre, which
was around March J., the prices were
low and he advanced same Immediately
to standard price and they have not
been changed since, He advanced from
10 to Is cents more than any of the for
mer plants managed In the state Of
Pennsylvania, where operators made
good wages.
1t was also stated that he was the

only the second We would ike the pub

A VERMONT HERO.

Information that at least one Vermont
boy has been playing an important part
in the splendid performances Of the
American marines on the Marine salient
In France causes glow of pride to come
TO the hearts of Vermont people, albeit
mingled with sorrow that the gallant
Second Lieut.. Max d. Gilfillan of st
Johnsbury was severely wounded in ac-
ton The record Of the young man in
military affairs had been so good "a to
win for him the Franch croix de guerre,
announcement of which honor came only
q few days before the cables told to-day
that he was among the casualties OF the
marine corps. Lieut. Gllfillan got his
early military training with the old LIST
Vermont regiment and his progress adds
testimony TO the value of that training
as well as TO the natural abilities of the
young man. The whole state will join
with his relatives in st. Johnsbury in
hoping that he may recover from the
honorable wounds received in repulsing
the Germans.
The earnest wishes OF Vermonters will
likewise go out to the relatives of two
other Vermont young men, who were
of the army of the United
States and who are to-day reported as
missing in action. The men are Bugler
Edwin N. Pope of Hardwick and Corporal
Frederick R. Hyde of Chester.

The German airplane service is un-
doubtedly too much engaged on the war
front to permit the release of many men
for the purpose of conducting such incon-
sequential matters as raiding London or
the towns in the eastern part of Eng
land. The demand on Germany is so
great that all her forces probably have to
be concentrated in the area where the
stern death struggle is going on.

WOLF REAPPEARS IN FRANCE
Bold Because the Attention Of the
Country Has Been Concentrated
on the War.

Now and then, as we walked down
the slope among the scattered trees,
we heard the low kr-krump of distant
guns which had come TO my ears be-
fore dawn. writes William Beebe in
Atlantic Monthly. 1t was a little more
distinct and sometimes double; krum-
kr-krump, but even now big frog at
the bottom of the hill would have
been more effective.
But all other thoughts slipped away
as a new sound arose in the darkness,
a sound which held for me n thrill, as
vital as the hint Of distant battle, and
incomparably more alluring. 1t rose
slowly, a rich, mellow, undulatiOn
which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered, descended, and broke off.
We stood mOtiOnleSs, listening with
all our ears, and again 1t came, un-
mistakably, from the depths of the
misty woods.
My companion smiled at me. We
could see In Imagination the dropped
tail, the hOllOw-cheeked muzzle raised
skyward-a wolf uttering that cry
which Of all sounds is most symbolic
Of the northern wilderness-unhurle-
ment plaintiff ct lugubre. I could not
believe my ears, that here in the heart
of France, within sound of the guns
at the front, | had heard the voice Of
wild wolf. The peasants had report
ed wolves at several places, the cold
and pinch of hunger driving them from
distant Businesses where their race
was making its last stand. And
now they had become bOldcr, finding
little to oppose them in this depleted
country.
Lacking accurate knowledge, I HAD
always assumed that in Euorpe, in
these modern times, wolves were re-
Stricted to the farthest wilds of Rus
sia and Siberia. To think of them in
France was in Imagination to repic-
ture medieval times again.

Use Cinnamon Oil for Influenza.

Oil of cinnamon has a very favor
able effect on the temperature and
shortens the convalescence period, says
Medical press. Patients who usually
suffer from marked weakness for
several days after an attack Of
influenza regain their strength very
rapidly when treated with cinnamon
Oil and are able to take up their oc-
cupatiOns on the second or third day.
Twelve drops of the oil are given in
half Il tumblerful Of water, and the dose
is repeated in one hour, then ten
drops given regularly every two hours
until the temperature has dropped to
normal. When the fever has gone
ten drops should be given three times
Il day during the following twenty
four or forty-eight hours. When in
fluenza is thus treated from the very
outset-that is, within the first three
or four hOurS-thc temperature be-
comes normal within twelve hours; If
the treatment is begun later it may
require twenty-four or thlrty-slX hours
to obtain this result.

1t is cheering to learn from the
department of agriculture that in Au.
gust there was an improvement in
spring wheat to an extent which will
add 21,000000 bushels to the crop.
This will make spring wheat harvest
Of 343,000,000 bushels or a total wheat
harvest of S99,00O,OOO. This is 1O1,-
100000 bushels below the expectation
last spring, but it is a pretty big pro-
ductiOn, just the same, says Buffalo
Express. The wheat situation is bet
ter than it has been for two years but
nothing like the free use of wheat can
be expected before the end of the war.
With the encouraging wheat report
we have a discouraging corn report
that is, there was deterioration in Au-
gust which cut the prospective crop
down by 3l7,000,000 bushels to 2,G72,-
100000 bushels. Corn lost 100000
bushels in July. We need all we can
get Of all kinds of grain and this loss
will be felt, though, of course, not so
severely as would a heavy loss in
wheat.

they have failed to innct when oppsr-

Up TO the present time all shipbuid-

They had a highly developed induStl J
that had been in full operation for gen.

had the yards and large numbers OF
skilled workers to assure them first

eSSary that the United States, under
extreme pressure, should create the
yards, recruit and train the workmen

could hope to increase in any cOnsid-

production and the annual output.
That is what has been actually done
