The MeddLer
IF the coat fits you, PIT 1t on

Probably there is not topic of local
unanimity of opinion in some respects
and greater difference of opinion in
others than that relative to the admin
istration of the Thompson fund in Brat
tleboro. Aside from the persons who
make up the somewhat cumbrous organ
ization, whose apparent purpose is TO see
that just as little of the funds income as
possible is spent in direct aid to- the orig
inal beneficiaries, it is difficult to find
'anyone.who believes that the present pol
icy OF the trustees is either in accordance
with the expressed wishes of the testator
or the terms of the court decree under
which the money became available
" hen it comes to saying just how the
money should be spent, however, there are
varying opinions.
The Meddler is willing to concede the
impossbility of administering the fund
to the satisfaction OF everybody, but in so
doing he does not wish to be recorded as
believing that the present trustees are
doing the job as well as all concerned
have right to expect. On the contrary,
it is his conclusion that they are steadily
working away from purpose which ought
To govern them. As The Meddler reads
the Thompson will and the court decree
under which it is administered they d-
rect the trustees of the fund to give first
consideration to the direct benefciaries
in Brattleboro and Rhinebeck and to look
out for kindred charities in those towns
before turning their attention elsewhere
Yet the widening scope of the funds ac-
tNities in recent years makes it appear as
if the trustees placed another interpreta
ton upon these documents; namely, that
after spending a portion of the money
here and in Rhinebcck they were free to
distribute the residue wherever they
Ipleased.
OF course, there is a possibility that the
trustees are right and that Brattleborc
people are wrong in their belief that this
town and Rhinebeck should be given first
consideration. That is question, how
lever, which is subject to consderabl,
argument and one which The Meddlel
| believes ought to be put up to the proper
legal authority for decision. The deere,
made by the superior judicial court O
: Massachusetts in 1901 says that if a
: any time ANY question arises as to thu
distribution of said income" the trustees
or ANY party interested may bring tn,
, matter to the attention of the court 70

cering the administration of the fund il

US. ARMY TO EQUAL
GERMAN BY SPRING
MOST OF AMERICAN TROOPS
NOW CONCENTRATED IN OWN
SECTORS.

Next spring, says an official dis
patch from France, the American
army alone will be equal to the Ger
man army. and the latter will have
to face not only this gigantic force
of well-trained men but the veterans
of the French and British armies.
Americas average monthly contri-
button in soldiers is equal to at least
half of the annual German recruit
ment, the dispatch also says.
General March, chief of staff. also
announced that concentration OF
American troops in the American Sec
tors in France is proceeding rapidly
and General Pershing now has under
his direct command more than 80
per cent of the troops who have
reached the other side.
General March made no comment
as to the purpose of this concentra-
ton. and said nothing that might
indicate the probability of an all
American drive. He did say the Gus
tom of brigading new divisions with
the French or British forces to hasten
their preparation for front line duty
had not been abandoned.
He also announced that American
casualties to date stand at 47,173.
These figures include a hitherto
unreported list of 10000 minor cases.

STATES WAR INDUSTRIES
BADLY IN NEED OF MEN
SURVEY BY FEDERAL DIRECTOR
SHOWS SERIOUS SHORTAGE
OF LABOR.

Washington states vital war indus
tries are in need of every laborer that
can possibly be spared from non-wal
work. A summary of conditions
throughout the state. as compiled by
the United States employment service
through the office Of Federal Director
Lawrence Wood at Seattle, shows
that serious shortages of man-poweI
exist in the essential war plants, as
well as in other industries whose pro-
duction and operation are OF para
mount Importance in the winning of
the war.
This shortage exists despite a de-
termined effort on the part of the
United States employment service to
provide adequate forces of labor by
drawing on non-essential industries,
by recruiting from the ranks of busi-
ness and professional men and by
drawing men to Washington through
favorable publicity and the ramifica-
tions of the service from almost every
state in the United States.

Something had gone wrong with

rest of the convoy, but the trouble
had been fixed up and she was fast
catching up with the other trans
ports when torpedo hit her just for
ward of the engine room.
In order to save time, instead OF
launching the boats the men clam
bered down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside.
The transfer of the American SOL
diers from the stricken vessel to

destrOyers was quickly made without
losing anyone. They all escaped in
jury when the torpedo exploded and
they were soon on the way to Brit

Many of the troops came from Chi

they saw the German submarine lift

COUNTY CALLS OFF
GRAND MOUND WORK
DISPUTE AMONG COMMISSION.
ERS RESULTS IN STOPPING
ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

improvement of the highway from
Grand Mound to the Lewis county
line was definitely abandoned by the
county commissioners at their meet
ing last Monday, after three weeks
consideration. The contractors bid
on the job was $4,000. or $500
more than the sum appropriated for
the work.
Behind this decision lies a little
rumpus among the commissioners
themselves. According to Commits
sioner Sans, when the plan was
under consideration some months
ago, for the county to put up $780,
900 towards new Westside bridge.
before the adoption of the bonding
plan, he agreed with Commissioner
Dodge to the expenditure of $4,000
on the Grand Mound road, assumins
it would be spent on grading and
gravelling the present highway
Sans was still agreeable to this
plan. he says, even after the bridge
deal fell through, but he says that
when the Grand Mound project was
presented to the board three weeks
ago he discovered that the contract
or's bid was not only higher than
the amount agreed upon, but that
the money was to be used in buying
a new right-of-way and merely put
ting up grade; that this cost of this
right-of-way would boost the expen-
diture to $1O,5O0; and that the plan
was to pave the stretch next year ana
to do that, Sans says, would have
taken all but $1,000 or $4,000 of
both the permanent highway and
county road and bridge funds.
Commissioner Sans claims he was
still agreeable to the plan of spend
ing $4,000 on the present highway
to put it in better shape for travel,
but that for the reasons enumerated
he opposed awarding the contract as
presented, Commissioner Bennett
joining with him.
