Reference to the fuel administration
recalls the fact that winter is rapidly
approaching and with it the problems
growing out of the necessity of keep
ing warm on a curtailed coal supply.
The Meddler is still of the opinion that
unless the coming winter is an exccp-
tionallv severe one Brattleboro will
fare better than a great many com
munities by reason of the fact that
its fuel needs have not increased, but
that belief does not warrant any les
SEEMING of economy in the use of coal.
We should proceed from now on with
the same degree of thrift as if we had
advance knowledge that cold weather
was going to hang on until next June.
and then if it proves TO be a mild winter
we may possibly be so fortunate as
to find ourselves left with something
in the coal bin besides the bottom.

sions were detailed to break through
the center Of the French line. These
included regiments Of guards and
Jaegers.
All the units engaged had been
brought to full strength, having been
reinforced after the March and May
ofensives. Since the beginning Of
the battle other divisions have been

my spirit is unbroken.'

would crush us
"And France-oh. the beauty and

has received TO itself again hundreds
Of thousands Of my dead children.
But our heads are high. our determ-
nation Is unbroken. They shall not

"And when America answers,
does II not thrill you to hear: We
too have crossed the danger infested
