ingly, after it had been deserted for more than two months, British Of ficer arrived here to take charge or the work of reconstructing it.
 The first thing to do was to clean the place. The debris was dumped out of the houses into the streets; the accumulated filth was buried or turned. the barricades were pulled down. the dugouts and trenches were filled up.
 An imposing colonnade bazar was built along the river bank. be- pinnino was made with a coffee room and some retail shops for the bulld- CTS. who for a long time were the sole population. Skilled masons, na- lives who had been employed by the Germans in connection with the Bag dad railway were collected and set to work They rebuilt and re-rooted the old bazars. Widened the old streets and built new ons, repaired the mosques, the baths and the ice factory, put new engines into the flour mill and converted the flats and shoals in the middle of the I1gr1s into vegetable gardens.

 A fourth ship for the squadron is now being fitted out at New York. and will join the others in the early spring.
 When all four ships are in com mission, the training squadron will have capacity for more than 270O ap- prentices, who will be drilled as sea- men, firenen, oilers, Water-tenders, coal passers, cooks and stewards
 Intensive training, including life boat and fire drill, from a month to two months on the training ship, is to be followed by actual service at sea on board new cargo vessels of the Merchant Marine.

 prosperous than ever, for there is
 abundant labor for everybody in the
 neigh borhood Some of the promi-
 nent people of the town will never

 The house which Colonel Town shend occupied during the siege has been repaired, but the roof and bal cOnN are still pittcd with shrapnel. Seven shell holes have been filled with plaster. The memory of the gen. eral and of his principal officers sur wives in the names of the new streets. There is Townshend Road, Delamain road, Mchss road, and the names of ] brave regiments are recorded in Dor set road, Norfolk street and Mahrat- ta Row. Every association in the nomenclature of the Kut is reminis cent of the memory of it's former de- lenders.
 Especially the ceme etery. The long, drawn agony of the garrison which fought and endured here so staunch- ly to the edge of starvation makes l one of the most tragic stories in ] British military history. Nearly L. 1 500 soldiers of the British army died ] of wounds and disease during the siege, and are buried together in a ! bare mud field enclosed by a mud wall, with a few starved palms in it, 1 and hueless desolation all around,- 1 but that is Mesopotamia. The Turks dug trenches all around the cemetery . but they respected the graves. Volunteer parties of bluejackets l from passing gunboats have landed and trimmed these mounds of earth, which are as clean-cut and neat now 1 as in an English church yard. A 1 brick wall is being built around the 1 enclosure. The place is grassless, it 1 is true, but the sombre aspect will ! disappear when water is brought to l the land and the scrub palms are fer. i tilized and cared for.

il must be borne in mind all the time
that the allies are conserving their men

If Barre is to enter into that New
England cleanup competition for sill
yer loving cup, we know right where the
city wants to begin operations. 1t is il
the rear of the business buildings on the
west side Of North Main street--you
know, the place where the river used to
run and carry off most of the refuse
which wasn't as heavy as rocks. Now
there is no river to aid in the cleanup
and the place, sometimes dignified by the
designation of Enterprise alley, is about
as disreputable spot as one could hope
to see in the most slothful community
The winters accumulation of old truck,
including ashes in great heaps, is enough
to make one wish that the river were
back in its old course and absorbing the
odds and ends, or else, that the tenants
of the buildings had enough sense of
beauty and health to clean up. The
place should be cleaned up whether the
city goes into any beauty competition
or not.

ports coming in from various parts of

the sugarin' season of 1918 which seemed

that Vermont is going TO produce at
