PAY YOUR PLEDGES
So That Barre Can Meet Its Quota in the
United War Work Drive.

The first 10 states in the union to sub
scribe their quotas in the United War
Work campaign will have the honor of
having recreation center in France
named after them. Ten states Are to
have 10 centers designated by their
names, and throughout the Green Noun
tain state an urgent appeal has been
made for early subscriptions that Yer
mont may be one of the privileged 10.
Barre's quota, $2l 900, is to be subscribed
through the war chest, but to make the
contribution count toward place among
the first 10, arrears in chest subscriptions
must be paid at once. News from every
corner of the state tells how spontane-
ously the people are contributing, 1t re-
mains for Barre to maintain its record of
the past months of the war by discharg-
ing its obligation through the war chest.
The war chest committee makes strong
appeal for delinquents to come forward
at once, as every outstanding subscrip-
tion is badly needed to make up the quo
Ia. The boys over there have dared the
last peril that the folks back home might
be safe, 1t is not the time to desert
them now,

INVESTIGATING RE-BURIAL.
Serious Neglect in Barre Cemetery L
Alleged.

Alleged Irregularities in the disinter-
ment and reburial of body in the Cath
olie cemetery on Beckley street have
been brought to the attention Of the po-
lice and health authorities, and while a
rigid investigation is in progress, the
story figures conspicuously in street con-
versation of the kind that is picked up
by any wind and easily borne along. 1t
was discussed at some length by the
board of aldermen at its regular meeting
last evening, but thus far the investi
CATION seems to be in the hands of the
health officer the city grand juror and
the states attorney.
The body of woman who died Sept.
80 when the epidemic was beginning to
claim large number of victims daily
was given decent burial on the follow
ing day. Five days afterward her hua-
band. died, and the family, after pur-
chasing family lot in which his re-
mains were committed, decided to have
the body of the wife removed from the
single-lot section of the graveyard to the
family lot
The police claim that a former sex
ton of the cemetery was engaged to do
the work. 1t was further stipulated, the
police say, that members of the be.
reaved family should be present when
the transfer was made. A short time
afterward the family was notified that
the body had been disinterred and re.
buried. They visited the cemetery, but
their suspicious were not aroused until
they noticed in corner of the yard
the cover of an outside burial box, on
which was written in pencil marks the
nameRof the deceased. 1t developed aft
erward that the undertakers as a means
of identifying the boxes on the days
when many were being removed to the
cemeteries, were accustomed to jot down
the name on the cover of each box
1t is understood that a complaint to
the police led to the discovery that the
body had been disinterred without per
init. When the health authorities gave
permission to disinter the remains for
the second time, the grave was re-opened.
Chief Sinclair, Constable G. i. Morris
and DR.. 0. G. Stfckhey viewed the le-
suits.

pleted, it was found that the casket
rested on sharp angle. 1t was water,
logged and the remains were in an un-
mentionable condition. Moreover, the
police say, the top Of the casket was
only 10 inches from the surface A stone
which the excavators upturned had
crushed in the cover of the casket, while
one of the side panels had burst open.
The authorities have interviewed a sex
tons helper who is said to have made
the claim that the rather shallow grave
was nearly full of water when the al
legged interment took place.
After surveying the situation, the
health officer issued a permit for sec
ond reinterment. The body was placed
in another casket, which, in turn, was
sealed in metallic vault. The investi-
cation continues

BUILDING BAN REMOVED.
Taken Off Along with other Restrictions
Incident to War.

Washington, D. c., Nov. l3.-Forty-
two American industries which for
months have been operating on a cur

moval by the war industries board in

Industries whose peace-time output
has been restricted in the interest of the
prosecution of the war are allowed by
the order to increase their production so

QUIET
OVER j. S. LINES
The Americans Are Marking
Time While Awaiting
Foch's Next Move
GERMANS THOUGHT
TO BE EVACUATING
Many Explosions Are Heard
Back of Their
Lines

With the American Army at the
Front, Nov. l3.--The American army Is
marking time until orders come from
Marshal Foch for the next move. The
roads near the front are filled with pano-
ply of the war that has ended. The sol
diers are wondering when they win get
home.
All day yesterday there were many
explosions behind the German lines, in
dicating that the enemy was blowing up
ammunition dumps. (It is not probable
that the Germans went destroying am
munition dumps after the signing Of the
armistice terms Because of the con
gested cables it is probable that portions
of this dispatch were written on Nov i
and in some unaecountable manner were
delivered with and as part of dis
patches filed to-day Very few German
soldiers were seen along the front line,
giving rise to the belief that plans al
ready are under way for the retirement
back to their own border
The German command will have a diff
ficult task, II IL believed, to accomplish
this in time, because since the Americans
have cut the Mezieres- -Longuyon line at
Sedan, the Germans have but one line
on which to return TO Germany. This
line runs through Liege.
The terms Of the armistice forbid
American airplanes from going over the
German lines, and inasmuch as no pris-
oners are being taken, 1t is virtually i'm
possible TO get any information as to the
movements OF the German army.
The hours since the cessation Of hos
tilities have wrought wonderful change
on the front Silence prevails. Ambu-
lances are parked along the roads
Laughing groups Of american and French
soldiers are rejoicing over their success.
1t is taken for granted that the war can
not start going again.
Only one thing goes on as It did before
the work of the German prisoners, who
are repairing the damage German guns
and mines have done to the roads Of
France.
The celebrations over the signing Of
the armistice in the towns in this part Of
France continue with unabated JOY. The
villages are illuminated for the first time
in four years

return have been hastened by the sign.
ing of the armistice. Each of the 1885,
600 men in the military or naval service
now holding voluntary government IN
surance viii be permitted within FIVE
years after peace is declared to convert
it without further medical examination
into ordinary life, twenty payment life
endowment maturing at the age of 81, or
other prescribed forms of insurance.
This insurance will be arranged by the
government, not by private companies,
and the cost is expected to be at least
one-fourth less thanesimilar forms Of
fered by private agencies
The government will arrange to collect
premiums monthly, If men wish to pay
this way, or for longer periods in ad-
vance. This may be done through post
Offices The minimum amount Of insur.
ance to be issued probably will be one
thousand dollars, and the maximum ten
thousand dollars, with any amount be-
tween those sums in multiples Of $500.
There will be provision for payments in
case of disability as well as death, ac-
cording TO the tentative plans.
The insurance may be purchased by
any soldier, sailor or marine officer or
enlisted man-and by women members
of the army or navy nurse corps, pro-
vided they already hold government vol
untary life insurance. About 95 per cent
of the 100000 men in the service are
covered by this insurance which expires
after they go back to civilian life and
cease paying premiums. This is the sys-
tenn devised to replace the old pension
plan Of providing for ex-soldiers and
sailors.

MASTERING OUT BASED
ON LENGTH OF SERVICE
U. s. Government Is Making Plans for
Demobilization Of Military and
Naval Forces.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 49, Plans for
the rehabilitation of the military and
naval forces Of the United States, now
being prepared by the war, navy and la
Dor departments, will be submitted soon
to President Wilson. Preliminary de-
tails Of the plans as known to-day pro-
vide for the mastering out of the men
on the basis Of length of service and on
the ability Of trades and occupations to
absorb the released men.
Labor needs of employers already are
been canyassed by the war industries
board through questionnaires. Communi.
ty labor boards and local draft boards
will cooperate in determining the ma
ture Of work and when il will be avail
able.
The work of the department of labor
in the assimilation of the returned sol.
diers and sailors will be conducted
through the Urited States employment
service and the war labor policies board.

RETURN QUEsTIoNNAIREs.
Men Between SO and As Are Requested
BY Provost Marshall.

Washington, D. c., Nov l3.-Men be-
tween 80 and as years of age who have
received but not filed out questionnaires
were asked to-day by Provost Marshal
General Crowder TO return them in blank
form to local boards. The boards are in
structed to cancel all entries relating TO
men of these classes and they will be con-
sidered as no longer bound by the selec-
tive service law.
Classification of youths of IS, which
viii be continued, is regarded by the gen
eral staff Of the army as most valuable
for statistical purposes, and its bearing
upon possible future military problems.
Draft boards also have been notified of
the possibility that they may be needed
as the active local agents in government
al rehabilitation plans.

SHORT SELLING PROHIBITED.
Drop of Price of Cotton Tuesday Was
Cause of Order.


Washington, d. c., Nov. l3.-Specula-
tive short selling in cotton on the New
York and New Orleans exchanges has
been prohibited by the cotton distribu-
tion committee of the war industries
board.
Charles j. Brand, chairman of the
committee, announced the actions to-day,
saying it had been taken because of un-
due short selling yesterday, which caused
the market to fan two cents.
Mr.. Brand added that short selling
at this time is Of doubtful wisdom, as
the country is in the midst of marketing
cotton and conditions do not warrant
short selling, as cotton goods stocks
throughout the world are depleted and
the demand for the product is bound to
be great.
Information having been received in
the cotton market at the opening to-day
that short selling had been prohibited by
order of the government, trading during
the first hour was very excited. Prices
opened l02 to 100 points lower.
Speculative interests, Mr., Brand said,
are taking advantage of the situation
due to the apparent ending of the war

Inc message Tehus:
cat present no modification can be
made to the conditions indicated by the
texts, including the annexes, at the time
of the signing of the armistice.
"A supplementary period Of "a hours
for the evacuation of Belgium, Luxem-
burg and Alsace. Lorraine has been added
to the period Of delay of IA days stipu-
lated by the original text, so as to per-
init the definite text arriving at the de-
sired time at German headquarters.
Washington, d. G., Nov l3.--Appeals
of the German armistice ENJOYS to Mar
shal Foeh for modification of the terms
Of surrender were of little avail. This
Is indicated by the amended terms, which
were published to-day. Close survey of
the amendments show few deviations in
essential details from the original draft
which was announced to the nation on
Monday by President Wilson in an ad-
dress before Congress.
The amended terms in some respects
favor the defeated enemy, but other pro-
visions completely offset the slight, ia
vors granted. Chief among the changes
made by Marshal Foch was the inclusion
of a provision under which Germany is
forced to give up her entire fleet of sub
marines. The original term as to sum
marines provided for the turning over
to the allies and the United States OF
only one hundred and sixty U-boats.
The amendment further provides that
the German submarine feet must be sur
rendered within fourteen days.
Another Of the eighteen terms which
were amended provides that the desig-
mated units of the German feet which
are to be surrendered must be prepared
to leave their ports within seven days
after the signing of the armistice. No
time limit was fixed in the original
draft. Instead of fifty thousand rail
road cars, the Germans are required to
surrender 100000 cars. The number OF
machine guns to be turned over to the
associated governments is reduced from
10000 to 10000. German troops in East
Africa are required to evacuate that ter
ritory instead of surrendering. Specific
reference is made in the amended terms
TO repatriation of German prisoners OF
war at the conclusion of peace. Terri
tories which belonged to Austria Hun.
gary before the war are added to those
which must be evacuated Russian pro.
yinces are to be evacuated as soon as
the allies, taking into account the in
ternal situation of these territories, shall
decide that the time for this has come,
instead Of Immediately. Provision also
is made In the amended terms for an ar.
mistice commission.
