Headquarters of the American
Troops With the British Army ii
France, June 19.-American boys in
the war zone learning from British
officers and soldiers what the wal
has taught in the way of battle tao
tics are getting an antidote for the
mental effects of their fighting educa
ton. This is offset by compound
OF gardening and pets.
1T is not good things for these
boys that their minds be centered
solely on stabbing, shooting and
throttling, said young colonel of the
British army to the correspondent of
Tie Associated Press today This Of.
ficer, who won his promotion at a lit
tie over thirty by gallant conduct at
Loos and other places where the
Black Watch distinguished itself. now
commands one of the British army
schools where musketry, machine-gun
fire, the use of the bayonet and jiu-
jitsu are taught
He pointed to an American boy who
was industriously spading future
potato patch. This is how we try to
tighten their thoughts" he added.
A New Zealand band was playing
lively airs on the green, litter of
pigs was squealing an accompaniment
from sty hidden behind thicket
and just around the corner hens were
clucking to their broods from an en-
closure alongside which was a pen of
highly bred rabbits. Meanwhile two
pet dogs barked in answer to the rat
tie of machine guns from the rangess
where newly arrived allies were try
ing their craftsmanship.
The men who were not shooting,
cultivating ground already sown or
preparing for further seeding were
trimming the lawn or tending flower
beds. There is everything here to
suggest the opposite of war.
The commanding officer who hap.
pens to be one of the men under
whom the regretted johnny Poe
served would say little of the work of
his pupils with the bayonet and the
gun further than that the American
boys were keen to learn and quick to
absorb. The fighting education he
left to his instructors.
This policy prevails at other Brit.
ish schools of the same character.
Some of them add bee-keeping to
their program All of them have
their pets and most of them their
gardens. All of them will give their
American pupils much to relieve the
depressing effects of continual
thoughts of bloodshed.

Cosmopolitan Odessa.

Odessa, recently entered by German
troops, furnishes the most remarkable
instance in Europe of rapid growth,
like that Of the mushroom cities Of the
New World. Founded in 1904 on the
site of small Turkish fortress which
had been taken by the Russians few
years previously, it does not possess
single building which by any stretch
Of Imagination could be described as
old. The city as well as the port owes
it's origin to a Frenchman named De
Ribas, an officer in the Russian army
who had led the attack on the Turkish
stronghold. French influence is strong,
and there are important commercial
French and British colonies. Italians,
Greeks, Bulgarians, Tartars, Arme-
mans, Georgians, and other races in
addition to the Jews and Russians
make up the population Of this cosmo-
politan city.

VERMONT NOTES.

The Vermont Evaporator Co. of
North Clarendon is to move to Rut-
land, having leased what is known as
the Vermont School Seat company
property.
In response to the call for village
volunteer farm labor the Brattleboro
board of trade offered to County
Agent Sweeton Of Windham county
100 men for Sunday work. Agent
SweetOn said he appreciated the
uation was not so serious as to make
on Sunday.
DR.. C. F. Dalton, secretary of the
Vermont state board of health, an
nounces that expert diagnosis of in
fantile paralysis in Vermont is to be
put on a permanent basis. The plan
outlined proposes having five physi-
clans from five districts in the state
take special coures in the study of in
fantile paralysis and after they ac-
quire competency in diagnosis they
are to see suspected cases in their
own districts on the call of the state
board. The physicians who are to do
this work are: Burlington, DR.. Pet

Burlington was given by Maj. Harold
Amoss of New York, director of the
Rockefeller institute. The work to be
carried on is to combat a possible
outbreak in this state this year So
far there has not been a single case
of the disease, but July is the month
when an outbreak of the disease is
looked for.

PATRIOTIC HELP.
Agricultural Department Asks All
Who Care to Help the Farmer.

The state department of agricul-
ture is giving every possible aid to
the farmer at this critical time.
The boys of the farms have re-
sponded to the call of country. They
are in the army, either overseas or
making ready to go.
There are men in every community
of the state who can give day a
week or longer time 20 farmers who
need the help.
Are you one who can spare that
day or longer time to assist in the
harvest? If you are will you report
the fact to F. H. Bickford, state farm
labor agent, Bradford, VT? Mr..
Bickford makes an appeal to you in
the advertising columns of this paper
You can perform no greater patriotic
deed than to assist the farmer during
the harvest season.
Will you?
In writing either Mr.. Bickford or
your county agent state the days or
hours you can give.
Regular farm wages will be paid.
