the armistice on the Austria front went
into effect on terms which amount to
capitalization. On the military and naval
side they take precautions against the
possibility of resumption of the war
which are chiefly of interest as perhaps
giving a clue to the terms required Of
Germany. The Austro- Hungarian army
is to be demobilized and will surrender
half it's artillery besides the war mate.

II may be said that these terms are
severe, but severity or clemency will lie
rather in the terms of peace than in the
terms of the armistice, which are aimed
chiefly at restoring peace as quickly and
thoroughly as possible. Some of them
may have been dictated by the fact that
Austria Hungary has so far fallen to
pieces that it may be hard TO determine

The Passing Of the Epidemic.

Boston was the first large city to be
afflicted with the epidemic of combined
influenza and pneumonia, and apparently
it will be the first to shake it off. Wheth-
er or not the reopening OF the theatres
and the general resumption of public
meetings result in certain recrudes-
cence of the epidemic, there can be nc
doubt that the disease has to great ex-
tent exhausted its material, and that
within fortnight it will cease to be
epidemic here or in Massachusetts,
Meanwhile its ravages are increasing in
the rest of the country. 1t is gaining q
foothold even in California, where the
people fattered themselves that the in.
! fiuenza germ could not live. At Phil.
adelphia the terrors of the epidemic have
gone beyond what the public press has
admitted. Pennsylvania had l4,S0t
deaths in the first is days Of October. A
letter received to-day from Baltimore
from a responsible source, and one ia
miliar with the recent conditions here,
says that conditions In that city are still
worse than they were in Massachusetts,,
and that many bodies await burial for
SIX days for want Of collins and Of hands

Of rigid military supervision, the spread
Of the disease has been considerably re.

MIA in that city.
In the meantime, the epidemic Is re.
acting upon Europe, whence it came, for
somewhat alarming development OF
fatalities is reported at Paris. We may
rejoice that the open air conditions I'M
der which our soldiers live are favorable
both 70 the limitation and the cure Of
the disease, and that a recrudescence OF
the epidemic amongst our troops is prob
ably not to be feared.

Statement BY Mr.. Ayers.

To the Citizens of Barre: | wish to ex-
press my appreciation to my fellow citi-

them in the coming legislature and to
thank those who supported me for their
votes and the confidence that their votes

election is only drop in the bucket in
comparison with the national and world
issues at stake and have been glad to
note that the contest for representative
to the Vermont legislature has been in
Barre quiet and very friendly affair.

The Day Passed Without the
Usual Election
Stir

Around fifty per cent of the registered
voters participated in yesterdays cleo
tion in Barre, the decrease being due to
a general lack of interest in the issues
this year Many things combined to
bring about this condition and the same
apathy which marked the pre- election
efforts of state candidates to arouse in
terest was noticeable election day. No
excitement prevailed on the streets and
crowds did not gather to hear the re-
turns. In the evening when reports from
the voting elsewhere in the state, as
well as from elections in other states, be-
gan to come ia bulletins in The Times
window were eagerly scanned, but few
fingered to get complete returns.
Here in the city Virgil Il. Ayers, Re-
publican, won the election for city repre-
sentative by comfortable margin over
his opponent, d, w. Mcdonald, Demo-
crat, although the figures show that it
may have been anybodys contest right
up to the last minute A close election
had been anticipated and in the face of
a general feeling of disinterest it re-
mains to be said that both candidates
were used well at the polls.
Barre cast heavy proportion of its
vote for the Washington county candi-
date, DIR. w B. Mayo of Mortified, the
Democratic nominee but the total was
not large enough to overcome the vote
for 2. w Clement, Republican, of Rut-
land, On the vote for county senators,
Frank G. Rowland of this city ran ahead
Of his colleagues on the ticket, and C..
W. Melcher, the Democratic candidate,
although going down to defeat, received
a substantial vote. Everything proceeded
in orderly fashion at the polls. The cleo
ton officers were not rushed and after
the boxes were turned the fluctuations
were completed in good time
v. y, Ayers, Barres new representa-
tive, is one Of the city's most substan-
tial business men He has been identi-
fled with the lumber industry for years.
Since America entered the war he has
been active in patriotic enterprises, more
particularly in Red Cross and war chest
work, A week ago committee repre-
senting the Washington country clergy,
composing ministers of various denomi-
nations, approached Mr.. Ayers on the
question of his contemplated attitude if
elected, when the Sheppard prohibition
amendment comes before the Vermont
House for ratification or rejection. At
that time Mr.. Ayers came out squarely
for the amendment, thus assuring, now
that he is elected, one more supporter
for ratification in Vermont.

The Two Sides Of the Shield.

These are days in which clear. thinking
people will specially seek to shield their
own powers. How else can anybody
maintain personal effectiveness amid such
vexations, hardships, anxieties, losses as
now beset home and office, store and fac.
tory-all affairs private and public
Many man and more than ever before
many woman, is literally being shot To
pieces thereby in the vital centers Of per.
sonal strength. Nothing is more needed
than shield, If we are TO win the fight
all must now wage
We do not say a refuge, hiding place
That would imply Sinking the field OF
duty, in which right minded men and
women viii stand fast in times like
these A shield is precisely what is TO be
commended. For shield is really a
fighting weapon, one that adds much to
what can be done by all other means. II
enables us TO face present conditions un-
distraught and so fit to do our part in
mastering the perilous plight of things
There Is no shield for personal efficiency
like mastering of ones mind and heart.
For civilians as for soldiers, morale--the
fighters own state of minds the decid-
ing factor
There are two sides to this shield One
faces the past, the other the future. The
first Is rough and seamy, but in that
very fact it bears the marks Of welded
strength. There is stauneh protection
against our undoing in remembering
what men have borne before" as Long
fellow sang If he was smitten by pes.
simism who wrote the great but partial
truth, HThere is no new thing under the
sun" there was no such clutch mark on
that other immortal who declared that
no trial or temptation comes but such as
belongs to man. by nature and expe-
rience; for he added that a faithful God
provides a way of overcoming. Men and
women before us have had TO undergo
what has come upon US, times without
number. They emerged out Of their try
ing days. We shall also.
A certain old-time Persian king is said
TO have summoned his wise men TO fur
nish an inscription for his signet ring
which would afford him soIace and self.
mastery in all experiences whatsoever.
When they had consulted long, they gave
him these words: "This, too, shall pass
away"
The other side Of the shield for these
days faces the future. Its FURNISHED
front shines in the light thereof. Dis,
heartening as i the present submergence
of all life in tidal wave Of the past's
long -receded horrors, it is certain that
more and mightier forces than ever be-
fore have now come TO humanity's rescue
and will set up vaster barriers against a
recurrence Of such world disaster. And
the tide has at last turned-the end Of
the long suspense as to the fate of all we
cherish has come, the war is positively
working out for the German defeat. OF
course we must fight on, here at home as
overseas, without yielding an atom Of
our strength. But we shall do so now
with glowing certainty of triumph at
last Amid all hardships and anxieties,

arrest of a man by the Franklin county
officials on the charge of operating an au.

ence Of liquor. 1t is becoming more and
more evident that safety on our high
ways depends on the elimination of this
menace. Some rather serious punishment
should be melted out as possible deter

confidence that 'the end will crown the

shall fail of our opportunity if we do not
link South America closer to US by sup
plying in increasing degree the things
once supplied by Germany. Our ship
building activities will provide us with

ond only to that of Great Britain. In.
stead Of its being necessary to send goods
or statesmen first across the Atlantic to
England in order to get them finally to
South America, there must be direct and
regular sailings to South America from
our own ports
There must be study and cooperation
to take full advantage OF the opportuni-
ties for new markets and for the most
rapid shift from munition making to the
making Of things needed by a world at

The vote by which Pcrcival w. Glen

was by no means impressive as compared

Vermont but it was decisive neverthe-
less The prediction that large num-
Der of Republicans would swing to the
Democratic and Prohibitionist nominee
because of their repugnance to Clements
well known sentiments on the liquor
question was not fulfilled to any appre-
ciahle extent, and outside Of Dr. Mayo's
home county Washington the usual
balance between the two parties seems
TO have been maintained. Washington
county gave its home candidate a hand
some compliment and almost wiped out
the usual Republican majority. For that,
DR. Mayo may well take satisfaction in
spite of his defeat Where he was best
known he was the most literally sup
ported That is, indeed compliment in
these days of close analysis of candi-
