The only difference is that this
Unknown Soldier received cita-
tlon for his life's sacrifice and the
others did not.
This is the story:
on August 20, 1914, during the
forenoon, the First Battalion OF the
Seventy-nlnth Regiment of Infantry,
which had been decimated at Nor
hange was hastily reformed in the
vicinity of Rosieeres-Aus-Saline
| from contingent Of reserves which
| had been rushed up.
That evening before the original
members OF the batallion had had
time even to get acquainted with their
/ new comrades. the battalion was en-
gagged by the Germans i'm a violent
surprise attack on the heights Of the
/ Farm of Saint Epvre near Luneville.
! About in the afternoon, the ad-
vanced line of the battalion took shell.
ter back of q little ridge which pro-
tected it from the Germans who were
only 100 yards ahead. A veritable
storm both of rifle and artillery fire
whistled constantly over the heads OF
the sheltered French battalion.
Suddenly, from out of the ranks of
the Third company. an unknown re-
servist who had just arrived that
morning, leaped to the summit of the
little ridge under which the battalion
was resting.
Dropping to his knees with a pipe
hanging from his mouth. he began
TRANQUILITY to fire shot after shot into
the ranks of the Germans just 100
yards ahead.
CONSERVATION reigned in the ranks
of the First Battalion of the Seventy
ninth. Then, the Officers recovering
from their surprise, loudly ordered
the man back into ranks.
But the latter. without ceasing for
an instant his firing and without
even dropping his pipe from hia
mouth. beloved back:
Leave me alone. I'm an expert
marksman and want to do some-
thing FOR my country while / have
such fine chance TO do It."
From the very first instant Of his
apparition on the summit of the
ridge the rifle fire of the entire regi-
ment of Germans was centered on
him Yet for a full five minutes he
continued TRANQUILITY to fire with sure
aim into the ranks before he finally
fell riddled with bullets. the stock of
his rifle shattered into splinters and
his pipe knocked from his mouth as
he rolled over on the ground.
a moment afterwards. the Seventy. |
ninth leaped again to the assault and |
drove the Germans down the ridge.
That night the Seventy-ninth bur- /
led their hero on the summit of tho /
ridge where he had fallen. There was
nothing about his person to indicate I
his identity. His deed of heroism was
signaled to the ministry of war. The
of war did everything in its
power to identify the soldier but with.
out results. sUnwilling that the sac
rifice should go unrewarded, the CT.
alton was granted in the name OF
An Unknown Soldier"

THE CRITICAL PERIOD

M HE war is now in the most
W. critical period hitherto
reached. Our enemy re-
alizes that ultimate defeat is
inevitable unless he can win a
great victory while Russia. is on
her back and America not yet
in full force at the front. He
also feels keenly the growing
loss of man power and the de-
cline of economic resources, ac-
cording to Henry Clews. His
position is desperate; his diff
culties in carrying on the war
are growing at a discouraging
rate, and his strength has been
declining more rapidly than
that of the allies. This is his
last chance. Apparently it is
"a grapple to the death. If he
can break through the allied |
lines, or divide the British and |
French, or capture Paris, he
could prolong but not win the
war. Can the allies withstand |
the present terrific onslaughts
against them; or will they be
obliged to give way and make |
their stand behind present |
lines? The best answer is the
quiet confidence shown at al
lied headquarters in spite of re-
cent reverses. Both France and
Britain are making vigorous re-
newed efforts to carry on the
struggle. AS long as the allied
lines bend and do not break, all
is safe. There is no doubt
where victory will ultimately
but our help is sorely
needed, if only to shorten this
terrible slaughter. The quick
er the great decision is reached
the better for all the world;
and for the sake of freedom,
Justice and humanity this coun-
try must speed up to still
higher pitch its efforts for
pushing the war.

$50 OVERCOME BY
MYSTERIOUS GAS
Employees of Army Uniform Loft
Affected-Federal Agents
May Be Called.

New York, Feb. 20.-Almost $50 per-
sons employed in a West 30th street
loft building, where army uniforms are
made. have been overcome by fumes of
some mysterious gas since noon yes
terday. All efforts Of health depart
ment officials and the police to trace
the gas have been unsuccessful. 1t
was said tonight federal agents might
be called into the inquiry.
A quantity Of khaki cloth was re-
ceived by contractor on the ninth
floor Tuesday and almost Immediately
afterward the elevator man who had
handled 1t became Ill. From that time
throughout the afternoon workers be-
came unconscious all over that floor
and in the shops on the three stories
above. They were revived and sent
home.
This morning the odor was again no
ticed and by ten o'clock SO many per-
sons had been overcome that the plant
was shut down and a call sent for the
police who summoned doctors and ambu-
lances. After first aid had been admin
istered the victims regained consciousness.
The doctors, who found that the pa
tients complained Of a queer sensation
in their throats. were unable to locate
the trouble and the police sent for ply
sicians from the department of health.
Investigation showed that the casualty
list was confined to the uniform shop and
the floors above. About 5000 persons are
employed in the building.

SUPPLY OF SHIPS
WILL NOW INCREASE
Available Tonnage Passed Low
Point Feb. Weeks Earlier
Than Expected.

Washington, Feb. 20-Overseas ship
tonnage available to America and the
allies passed it's low point about February
!. several weeks earlier than shipping ex-
perts had predicted.
Officials believe the upward curve will
continue until the war Is ended unless
difficulties not now foreseen are en-
countered.
In support of this belief, attention was
called to-day to the satisfactory results
obtained in the campaign against enemy
submarines to the fact that government
ships now are coming from American
yards and to the progress Of negotiations
for neutral vessels to be used in the nom
hazardous trades to release other shipping
for overseas carrying.
When experts first plotted the curve
Of the tonnage supply. taking into
consideration the greatest success OF
submarines, and all possible con-
tingencies in the domestic situation
they found that the number of YES
sells available for transporting troops
and for feeding the allies would be
lower toward the end of this month
than at any other period. Just how

In Vocational Education.

Montpelier, Feb. 25.-Prof. Fred g..
Nichols, for many years commercial
teacher at Montpelier Seminary, has
been appointed one Of the federal commits
sion which have charge Of the voca-
tional education and which will have
supervision of the instruction in the coun-
try. The commission Is made up Of MEM

Of many of the departments Of educa-
ton, asking for suggestions as to the
best man for the place. From many
parts Of the country came the report
recommending Professor Nichols for the

the many reasons so we'll set forth that
the TACT that one man had already been
appointed from New York was over
looked and Professor Nichols appointed.
Mr.. Nichols will be recalled in Mont
pelier and central Vermont for his con-
nection with the seminary at the time

tutions Of the central part Of the country,
the latest Of which was in Rochester,
N. Y. While here he was in touch with
the accounting system Of the city. He
was frequently employed by the Vermont
Mutual Fire Insurance company and some
OF the other institutions Of the city. MANY
OF the older merchants will recall his
Installing systems for them, while It was
not uncommon for him to be called during

BAKERS MUST NOW USE 20
PER CENT. SUBSTITUTES
To DO Otherwise Would Mean Closin9
Of Their Shops.

ST. Adams. Feb. 25.-All bakers are now
required to use 20 per cent. Of substitutes
In their bread and rolls, according to a
statement issued to-day from the office Of

substitutes by easy stages up to February

food administrator that bakers who will
fully refuse to mix 20 per cent Of the
substitutes in their bread will be COM
PEELED to close their shops. The success of
the rule will be threatened II some bakers
bake victory bread while others bake
white bread In the same community and

lection against unfair competition, 1t was
said. 1t was further said that bakers who
are short Of substitutes should imme-
