Brock hotel, on Sunday, destroyed that
building, the barn, the Floyd Miller
house, garage and hennery and set fire
to the Rockwell residence, also the house
occupied by the families Of Mr. Pud-

DR. William r, Mayo, candidate for
governor, named by proper officers and
elected at the primaries, is worthy of
support by every voter. No party prin-
ciple binders Democrat from voting for
him; times have altered some views long
held. Every Republican can vote for
this candidate who stands for an elfee-
tive means to obtain what that party
sought by forty years Of state prohibi-
ton and by sixteen years of local OPP
ton. Fealty to party binds none to sup
port candidate who has observed no
such fealty and became the Republican
candidate by means of some thousands
of Democratic votes.
William Barnabas Mayo was born in
Moretown in 1854. He attended the
schools of Moretown, graduated from the
Normal School, completed the course at
the Homeopathic Medical College of
New York, and began practice at North
field in 1877.
In 1884 Mortified made him its repre-
sentative A member of the general
committee and Of the committee for the
revision of bills, his first motion of rec
ord was resolution granting the Hall
of Representatives to the Teachers As
ISOLATION for meeting addressed by
President Buckham Later he introduced
a bill, passed without dissenting vote,
granting college appropriation, the
first.
In 1885, as chairman of the committee
on revision of bills and a member of the
committee on the insane, he introduced
the bill creating the State Board of
Health, and shared in securing the Hos
pital for the Insane In 1900 DIR. Mayo
sought aid for the Normal Schools and
again in 1902
His thought it was which led to the
bill introduced in 1904 appropriating to
the endowment of Norwich University
money reimbursing the state for ex-
pense incurred in the st. Adams raid. A
substitute bill with appropriations for
ten years passed
In 1910 he coImseled school-man in
drafting bill empowering the Board OF
Health to act in venareal contagious.
Adversely reported, the bin inauguratcd
the well ordered campaign OF education
which, taken up by the Women's Clubs,
secured passage Of q similar bill in 1912.
In 1915 DIR. Mayo, chairman Of the health
secured amendment to this
act of 1912, correcting defects.
In 1912 the Legislature was requested
to renew the act Of 1904 concerning Nor
witch University, with notifications be-
heved advisable This bill was acted
upon tentatively, pending report in 1915
by commission. Dr. Mayo, wide in
knowledge of the college acts and in ex
perience, was in the House to defend all.
The Medical School, distressed by report
of commission agents, and faced with
discrediting, came to him for help. They
got resolution which stayed the de-

Knights of Columbus War Service Orig
mated with w. B. Scully.

From the kindly act of two Knights of
Columbus secretaries, when they shaved
two wounded American soldiers, there
grew service that drew from govern
ment officials and war relief organiza-
tions official recognition and strong
words Of appreciation.
The secretaries in question are W. B.
Scully of Burlington, VT, and James A.
Kenney of East Liverpool, Ohio, and the
service is that Of supplying Knights Of
Columbus secretaries as workers in hos
pitfalls where wounded American soldiers
are quartered.
The Sunday following the American
victory at Chateau Thierry, Mr.. Scully,
accompanied by Mr.. Kenney, visited the
hospital where our men wounded in that
battle were lying. In one of the wards
Mr.. Scully noticed a seriously wounded
soldier (who said he was from James

His right hand was entirely bandaged
and hung helplessy, the other partially
bandaged but with the thumb and one
finger free. With these the poor chap

never shaved man before but promptly

Kenney spent the balance Of that day in

ALL U-BOATS ESCAPED
TO GERMAN WATERS
They Got Out of ostend and Zeebrugge
and Proceeded By Dutch Terrific
rial Waters Probably.

London, Monday, Oct. 2l-Speaking in
the House Of Commons to-day. james
Thomas MacNamara financial secretary
of the admiralty, said there was good
reason 70 believe that all German de-
stroyers and torpedo boats which had
their bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge have
escaped to German ports.
Seeing that passage could be made at
night and that Dutch territorial water
could be used there was no certainty
that the measures taken to intercept
them would be effieaeious,' he said.
