u. S. SAILORS TO BE
PAID FOR OVERTIME
New Set Of Rules Issued by the
United States Shipping Board

Washington, Oct. 7-Sailors man
ming the ships of Americas new mer-
chant marine will be paid extra for
overtime work at sea under a new set
of rules issued by the United States
Shipping Board to regulate the hours
of labor and working conditions of
officers and men. In a general way
these rules confirm practices already
in effect IN vessels of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation but the overtime
principle is officially recognized on
the seas for the first time in history.
In cases of emergency when the
captain calls for "all hands on deck
to face danger, the overtime rule is
automatically suspended. Then every
man must work and work his best for
the common safety. No overtime
will then De paid and there will be no
appeal fror. the captains order to
work. This is virtually the only rule
of service at sea that survives the
pre-war days.
The rules establish an efficiency
schedule, exact in its requirements,
yet designed to be fair to every man.
Each is able to tell, by reference to
his rules, just where he stands with
his employer; he knows just what his
board an1 lodging are to consist of
just what hours of duty he will have
and what time for leisure; just what
differences there will be in his work
ing time in port and on the high seas
and just how much he vii be paid for
overtime work.
The chaI acter of a seaman's bunk
is exactly described as an iron pipe
bed, painted, with a steel spring or a
slung canvas bottom. This bed must
be sanitary and have no cracks nor
joints. The sailor is supplied with
suitable bedding prescribed by the
rules and his only duty with regard to
sleeping facilities is to see that they
are kept clean. Well ventilated wash
rooms with basins and bath and
shower baths are provided for both
the freroom forces and crew proper.
The regulations prescribe. hours Of
duty for mates both at sea and in
port and provide for the payment of
extra compensation for duties done
outside the regular hours. The cap
tain, master Of the ship, of course re-
mains theoretically on duty all the
time and rules are not made for his
conduct.

OVER IN BARRE
Thirty Deaths in Forty Eight Hours

Thirty Deaths in Forty-Eight Hours
Barre, Oct. IA rising 80 deaths
followed TIE latest onslaught of the
grip and pneumonia i'll Barre, nearly
30 deaths have, been reported since
Saturday night. Measured by the
number Of those who have sue
cumbed to the plague, the outlook is
not altogether encouraging, but the
outbreak Of new cases has been ap-
preciably decreased, and many of
those who were desperately i'll are
reported to be recovering from the
disease. Those who are nearest in
the observations of the pestilence are
taking ~ optimistic view of the stu
alton. Beyond a doubt the number
of new cases is steadily decreasing,
and the Inauguration of a plan where
every new case is visited regularly
by physician and attended at inter
walls, if not all the time, by. q nurse,
is expected to bring satisfactory re-
suits. Today and yesterday the calls
for help received at the headquarters
of the special relief committee at city
hall were far less than Oh Saturday
Today special train which started
from Burlington brought many addi-
tional doctors into Washington coun-
ty. Some were left at Waterbury
where the grip is endemic, and more
were assigned to duty in Montpelier
while considerable number were as
signed in Barre.

GRIMES IN BELGIUM CONTINUE
WHILE CHANCELLOR TALKS PEACE
FRENCH STILL ADVANCING
THE END A LONG
WAYS OFF
The War Correspondent of I'll Cam,
paigns Says Some Mighty Tall
Fighting Yet"

Springfield, Oct. 7-"If Turkey
comes over to our side, and | want to
impress upon the people that there is
no doubt but what she will, it will be
the beginning of the end, but the end
is yet a long way off. There is a
great possibility that Germany can
still hold out, and there is going to
be some rnighty tall fighting before
we get her, but the enemy is practi-
cally beaten" Such is the opinion
of Frederic Villiers, one of the great
est of living war correspondents, who
has been an eye witness of Fl cam
paigns, has been a war correspondent
for 40 years and who the king Of
Bulgaria SIN years ago said had seen
more actual fighting than any living
soldier.
Mr.. Yilliers was in the city but a
few minutes, He is touring the
country lecturing on what he has
seen at the front. He is war cores
pcndent OF the Illustrated London
News and has spent two years and
half on the western front. He
knows the battle line from Belgium
to Switzerland and has been around
the globe and to the frontiers Of
India. With his ruddy complexion,
stalwart fieme and clear voice he
presents the acme Of vigor, though
he is 66.
Speaking further of the signifi-
cance Of the surrender Of Turkey,
MI. Villiers said it would enable the
American feet to get into the Black
sea, to get to Sebastopol and to es-
tabIish al eastern front against Ger
many. ''Jt is full of possibilities in
favor of the allies" he said. But
you, here Iii America, are too opti-
mlstic, you don't realize how many
men and kow much money is needed
Y ou must give and give to the Lib
erty loan and keep on sending your
money over until the American flag
and the flags of the allies are float
ing over the house of Hohenzollern
and we car dictate the terms Of
peace in Berlin. # you put in your
dollars there might be peace next
year The more men we have, the
more soldiers we can crowd in, the
less men we will lose, and the more
money we have to feed and equip our
men the better they will fight, for a
comfortable soldier makes the best
fighter
The American troops, Mr. Villiers
said, have ingratiated themselves
right into the heart of England by
their spirit and manners. Mr.. Vii
liers, who Is 66, is probably the Oldest
living war correspondent and the
only one who has seen both the en-
tire British and French battle fronts
He is the possessor of Is medals re-
ceived during the previous campaigns
he has been through, including pre-
sentatio:ls from commanders of the
armies of Russia, Rumania, Servia
Japan, Egypt and England.

ACADEMY SCHOLARSHIP
Presented by the Members of the
Class of 1886

At the time Of its graduation in
June, 1886, the class left $75 as a
nucleus for a class scholarship This
sum by accretion and occasional ad-
ditions amounted in 1903 to $476,
which in Pennsylvania railroad stock
yielded $24 a year and has been reg
uiarly distributed since that date.
At the recent annual meeting of
the trustees the class presented the
trustees with $444.83 to complete a
scholarship of $1,000 The trustees
of the Academy desire to make pub
lie acknowledgment Of this generous
gift, which is deeply appreciated
hoping it may prove satisfaction to
the class and suggestion to other
classes to make permanent and
practical expression of their interest
in the Academy.

MEN WANTED FOR
MAKING SHELLS
Vermont's Quota to Be Furnished
through u. S. Employment Ser
vice
Especial to the Caledonian)

tOUBCIoI 10 lllC
Montpelier, Oct. 8-The Commit
tee of Public Safety nave received
the following telegram from Wash
ington:
A stock Of high explosive shells i'm
peratively needed in France has been
destroyed and the flow of these sup
plies has been retarded not only for
the present moment but for months
to come unless immediate relief is
provided. This loss must be made up
at once by putting additional burdens
on other American munition plants.
Within the next forty-eight hours the
number OF men to be supplied from
your state will be hired by the U. S.
Employment service to its Federal
State Director. Please issue the nee
essary notices to your state, county
and community councils of defense
to put their entire influence behind
the employment service in this emer-
gency. This call for men must be
met but there should be no difficulty
in getting these men. The work is
dangerous but that will not deter
anyone for it is unthinkable that any
man in this country would hold back
from doing work which the women of
England and France have long car
ricd on. When this problem is
placed before the American people
public opinion will be solidly behind
the employment service and the COM
munity labor boards in this emcr-
gency.

NEW JAPANESE CABINET
Marks an Epoch in Her Constitu.
tional History

Tokyo, Oct. THE installation of
the new Cabinet, headed by Takashi
Hara, leader Of the Sklyukal party,
marked an epoch in Japanese con-
stitutional history. 1t is the first
Ministry presided over by a COM
moner and is based on the system
of parties.
The newspapers consider II Hara
Cabinet as a first great step toward
d non-beaureaucratic peoples cab
met. All draw attention to the fact
that Hara is the first citizen Premier
without the halo Of the peerage and
the significance of his selection as
leader of the principal political par
ty. They urge loyal national SUP
port Of the new government, as, they
say, failure would prove a setback to
constitutional progress.

THINKS PEACE NEAR
One War Correspondent Believes
Germany Will Surrender

London, Oct. 7-By cable to
Montreal Star.)-If the Allies and
the United States stand absolutely
firm for their progress Of justice and
permanent peace, it is bclivcd here
that Germany will soon follow in the
footsteps &C Bulgaria and surrender
Internationally.
There is practically no doubt that
she will take this course rather than
see the Entente armies draw too near
her frontiers. Her sins and crimes
are SO colossal that she has deadly
fear of vengeance, and anyone who
has been with the armies in the West
knows that this fear is far from
groundlc5s.

MANGANESE IN OREGON,
Concentration Ideas Sought in coeur
d'Alene Mills.

Herbert Brewitt. of Tacoma, presi-
dent of the Manganese Metal COM
pany, has been in the city since last
Monday, his purpose in coming here
being to gain some practical ideas re-
garding ore concentration which will
be of service to him in solving the
problem with which his company is
contending in southern Oregon. The
company has developed a large body
or manganese south of Medford and is
now planning the construction of a
mill. The high efficiency attained by
the mills of this district in ore con-
centration induced Mr.. Brewitt to
come here, believing that he would
ind suggestions that would prove ap-
plicable and valuable in the construc-
tlon of his manganese mill. In com
pany with c. A. Wright, of the bureau
of mines, he visited several of the
mills. He left this morning much
pleased with the results of his visit.
