PRIVATE WALTER MILNE DEAD.
Barre Man Was Taken Ill While Train.
ing for Service.

Death has again entered the ranks of
Barre men in the service Of the country
and taken Private Walter S. Milne Of
50 Liberty street, member Of the U. s.
aviation branch. Death did not come to
him in the field of conflict, but as the re-
suit of long illness at otisville, N. Y,
where he has been treated at govern.
ment hospital. Telegrams received by
several Barre people announced that the
end came at IL o'clock yesterday fore
noon. Pneumonia is thought to have
been the cause.
His death makes the third in that fam
lily in scarcely more than two years,
all of them under more or less unusual
circumstances. His brother, James S.
Milne, jr., received a fatal injury two
years ago last spring while participating
in basketball game in Boston, where
he was student in Boston university.
A few months later his father, James
S. Milne, lost his life while boating on
Lake Champlain at Highgate Springs,
where he was staying for a short time,
it being ascertained afterwards that he
probably died of heart failure rather
than from drowning, as first supposed.
Now comes the third death of the young
man in the service.
Private Mines mother and wife were
at Otisville, having been called there
some time ago by the critical illness of
the patient. Mrs. Milne, sr., has herself
been sick for several days, according to
information received by friends in Barre.
Private Milne was born in Barre Is
years ago on Aug 0, and spent all his
life in this city, attending the public
schools and graduating from Spauldmg
high school. For some time he was en-
ployed in the freight office of the Mont
pelier & Wells River railroad. He vol
unteered in the U. s. service in pecem.
ber, 1917, and was sent to a Virginia
camp for preliminary training, being
sent to Otisyille when taken ill
The only near relatives surviving are
his mother and his wife, who was Miss
Gertrude Geake Of Barre, and TO whom
he was married in February, 1917. He
was an adherent of the Presbyterian
church.
The body is expected to reach Barre
tomorrow morning.

Amendment Propos-
ing That

Washington, d. G., Aug. 20. Minor
differences between Senate and House
conferees on the man.power bill were
cleared away to-day and the measure,
with the Senate work or fight" amend
ment eliminated, was prepared for final
congressional action.
After Provost Marshal General Crow.
der had explained that new instructions
will provide that draft boards and not
registrants must initiats deferred CLASH
ication claims, the conferees struck out
the Penrose amendment directing that
registrants be not required to make or
refuse to make such claims.
Senator Wadsworth's amendment, ex-
tending the draft TO the navy and ma
rine corps by providing that men may
be allotted for those services, was re-
tanned.
General Crowder explained that the
Penrose amendment would seriously in
terfere with plans for the new registra-
tion by preventing the use of millions Of
blanks already printed.
The conferees also eliminated to-day
the amendment Of Senator France of
Maryland, providing for badge or other
insignia for men deferred for industrial
or other service.
A Senate provision retained in some
what changed form removes the restric-
tions against commissioning and admit
ting to officers training camps men un-
der 2l years of age.
