TRAIN SCHEDULE
TO CHANGE JUNE "a
that White Mountain Day
Service Will Be Similar to Last
Year-Week- End Night Trains.

Notice has been received at the local
station that the summer train schedule
on the Boston & Maine railroad will go
into effect Monday, June 24 Although
nothing definite regarding the summer
service has been learned by local rail
roadmen it is generally understood that
there will be a day express between
New York and the White mountains as
formerly, and that instead of the reg
ular night express there will be north
bound train each Friday night and a
south bound train each Sunday night,
this service being intended to accom-
modate those wishing to spend week
ends at mountain resorts.
1t is doubtful whether the summer
schedule will bring about any marked
change in the time of the trains now
running on this division of the Boston
& Maine, although there is said to be a
possibility that Brattleboro may be
| made the starting point of the train
which now leaves East Northfeld sta
tion formerly South Vermont at 6.3C
a. m. for Boston by way of Keene and
Nashua, N. H.
| Nothing definite has been learned il
regard to any changes on the Contra
| Vermont although it is not unlikely thai
the south bound train now leaving her,
at 6.27 may start some minutes later ant
/ the 80 d. m train some minutes earli

RED CROSS FUND
ALMOST 100000
Ten Out of IA Counties Re-
port Total of S95,397 Up
to This Noon
RUTLAND LEADS,
REPORTING $4,000
Addison, Essex, Grand Isle and La
noble Only, Counties from Which
Definite Figures Have Not Been Re-
ceived-Local People May Give.

With definite reports from 10 of the
IA counties in the state Chairman o. F.
Benson of the Red Cross war fund drive
figured this noon that Vermont had raised
very nearly one-half of its quota of
100000 since the campaign was started
Monday. This means that if the work is
continued without abatement throughout
the week there is every reason for believ
ing that the desired total will be forth
coming. The exact amount reported at
noon was sos, ,397. with no figures from
Addison, Essex, Grand Isle or Lamoille
counties in all of which it is known that
there are active organizations.
Bennington county reported its quota
little over half raised, having Sl0.Il3
toward $4,000. Caledonia county made
a still better showing with $4,000 raised
toward quota of $4,000. Chittenden
county, which has the second largest
quota in the state, $4,000, already has
secured SO 900 of it and feels positive of
getting the rest promptly.
Franklin county reported $500 with
Riehford and Enosburg both over the top;
Orange reported $3.50 with Randolph
over the top; Orleans S3,490 with Iras-
burg over the top. Rutland county with
a quota of $4,000 has $4,000 in sight,
Poultney having exceeded it's allotment
Reports from Washington, Windsor and
Windham counties were respectively
81 500, $4,000 and S7,974.
w. A. Shumway. chairman of the Red
Cross drive for Brattleboro. said this
morning that while the towns war chest
obvated the necessity of canvass here
there were probably good many persons
in town who were not war chest subserib-
ers and therefore ought to give to the Red
Cross fund individually. He said further
| that while no war chest subscriber need
feel under obligation to contribute spe
| cially to the Red Cross there is nothing
to prevent such special gifts on the part
of those SO disposed.

Caleb Parker Nash was born in Jericho
(Vt.) ON July 81, 1874, son of Ansel
and Clarisa parker Nash. His Grand
father Nash had been soldier in the
Revolutionary war and his Grandmother
Stevens had a brother and her father
in the same war.
Mr. Nash enlisted from Jericho on
Sept. 10, 1862, in Co r, 18th Vermont
regiment for nine months. The com.
pany gathered at Richmond where for
several days there was company drill
before joining the other companies of
the regiment at Brattleboro.
The regiment left Brattleboro for the
front on Oct. II, and like several of the
other Vermont regiments saw its only
hard fighting in that memorable battle
of GETTYSBURG. The 18th was one of
the regiments that made the flank at
tack upon Pickett s men on the last
day and in this battle as in the marches
and camp life Mr.. Nash was always in
his place.
Soon after the battle the regiment
started on its long journey back to the
northland and it was then that the un-
developed boy who had been through
many privations nearly collapsed. A
lift of half day in an ambulance and
the assurances of comrades that if he
fell out he would be captured kept
him on the move until Brattleboro was
reached finally where the regiment was
mustered out of service Mr.. Nash then
had the journey back to Richmond to
make where for weeks he was tenderlv
nursed by his stepmother until he had
partly regained some of his health and
strength.
He married on Aug. %, 1871, Celestia
l.. Chamberlin. For time he worked
III country store and later for years
was rural mail carrier. Eighteen year.
lago with Mrs. Nash he came to Brattle
boro TO take charge of the Home fol
the Aged which succeeded beyond tn,
lfondest hopes and expectations of botl
Mr.. and Mrs. Nash. They recently re
tired from the management but re
manned there as inmates. They have n,
children, daughter born to them, liv
ing only three months.
Mr.. Nash was a member of Sedgwicl
post, G. A. R. and is the only membe
of his regiment who is connected witt
the local post.

Blanks Sent to Town Clerks
Throughout County
Today
ENROLMENT LIKELY
TO BE ABOUT 200
Oath of Registrars Should be in Hands
Of Exemption Board by Saturday
Plans for Enrolling Young Men Who
Have Become 21 Since June s Last.

Preparations for registration day.
Wednesday, June 5, when all young men
who have become 2l years of age since
that date last year are to enroll them
selves for military service, already are
going forward in this county. Notices
were sent today to the town clerks
throughout the county notifying them of
the date of registration and instructing
them concerning the facilities they must
provide. Together with these notices
have been sent registration cards ito be
filed with the exemption board and regis
tration certificates Ito be supplied to each
registrantl.
Every town clerk in the county is sup
posed to have received from the adiu-
tant- generals Office form on which he is
to make oath that he will fulfill the
duties of registrar as provided in the law
These forms should be in the hands of the
clerk OF the county exemption board by
Saturday SO that on that date word can
be sent to Washington that registration
plans are complete in this district. Thus
far but one town clerk. f. p Adams of
Marlboro, has sent in his oath.
1t is expected that the registration of
June viii add about 10 per cent to the
total enrolled last year, which in the case
OF Wndham county means that approx
mately 200 young men are likely TO be
placed on the list available for military
duty.

WAR CHEST GIFTS
STILL COMING IN
Man Who Sent Check for S1OO During
Drive Adds 5000 More to Total

Brattleboros war chest has secured
a number of stable contributions since
the successful campaign of last March,
but the largest recent individual gift to
it was made this week by a local resident
who spends his winters in the city. At
the time of the drive this individual sent a
check for 500 to the war chest cam
paign committee. He has now added to
his first gift 5000, making his total 81 900,
the fourth largest contribution which the

BOY SCOUT STAMP SALES.
As Whole They Jagged Last Week AL
though Kester Shaw Did Well.

The outstanding feature of the war saw
ings stamp sales of the Boy Scouts last
week was the excellent work of kester
Shaw, who took IA applications out of a
total for all troops of SO. This gives
Shaw the honor of having secured more
than all the other troops combined He
was recently awarded the honor button,
which means that he had secured 25 indi-
vidual subscriptions. He will probably be
awarded the w. S. S. medal, which is
much coveted by the Scouts. kinson
Doak of troop No. has secured the nec-
essary $3.50 to earn a medal, but as this
amount comes from less than 25 subscrib-
ers, the award will be held until he
achieves that number.
Here is the record by troops
