Further, / wish to say as one of the
old members of the Appropriations
Committee, that never before in my
| experience. or l believe in the history
of Congress has this bill upon presen-

Very sincerely YOURS.

Lieut.. Neal Hooker of Barre Writes His
Parents of Fierce Battle.

Lieut.. Neal Hooker of Barre was in
the strenuous battles of Belleau wood,
Bouresches and Epieds, where American
victories helped to start the allies in the
great counter offensive which has driven
the Germans back almost to the point of
their start last March. A letter Just re-
ceived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs, B. w.
Hooker tells something about the fierce
ness of the fighting. He writes in part
as follows:
sSafe, sound and we'll That is saying
whole lot for any man in our division.
You have probably read in the paper all
about our advance from Belleau wood Ia
hell hole before the drive startedl
through Bouresches, another boche
strong point, to Epieds, where we were
held up for a couple of days and where
our losses were pretty heavy. We finally
took the town by storm, capturing all
kinds of boche, including 2l0 field piece
that they didn't have time to move, and
which was later turned on them, for we
got great quantities of ammunition.
"We then advanced about four kilo-
metres north of Epieds and then, thank
God, were relieved, or rather what was
left of the once 26th division. 1t was a
sight to make anyone sad, to see the
lucky ones marching back down the
road. American and even French gen.
erals from divisions near by came TO see
us pass, and many were the cheers they
gave the l02d infantry, for even if / do
say it, we held our whole lst army corps
line against overwhelming odds, and then
advanced to the attack when our support
and artillery caught up,
"people, that was the greatest expe
rience that has ever happened to me and
probably ever will. ] sure am proud to
have taken part in it and have thanked
God many time for the many narrow
escapes / had.
Perhaps my most trying experience
was one evening when we were halted
before Epieds. OF course, all the shelter
we had were narrow trenches, and those
were poor protection against boch lis

BARRE REGISTRATION
WILL BE UNDER ESTIMATE
1t is Expected That Withdrawals from
the City During Past Year Will Keep
Draft Registration Next Thurs
day Below 1900.

The machine for registering Barre men
between the ages of IS and As, inclusive,
is being oiled for next Thursdays task.
City Clerk James Mackay continues as
chief registrar and his assistants were
named to-day. Differing from the pro.
gram followed June 8, 1917, when six
registering places were opened in as
many wards, all of the registering is to
be done at city hall Sept IL. Available
rooms are the council chamber, the school
commissions room and the city court.
Upon entering the corridor, the prospec-
tive registrant will need waste no time
in registering, unless there are Others
waiting, for the location of the various
registrars will be concisely indicated BY
centering the registration activities in
one building, the chief registrar and his
assistants hope to eliminate much Of the
confusion which naturally resulted dur
ing the first registration, when returns
had to be collected and compiled from
six different sources.
Instead Of so assistants, 20 will suf-
flee, and they have been named as fol-
lows: John Arioli, N. b. Ballard, 7. w.

H. L. Campbell, S. L. Ciardi, +. +. Cave,

John B. Magnaghi, Delie Merlo, NJ, H.
McAllister, James Sector, ir., Judge II.
w. Scott, George n. Tilden and Ezra L.
White
Basing its figures on the number of
men expected to register throughout the
state, the Washington county local board
has estimated that ! 800 men in Barre
between the ages of Is and 45, inclusive,
will have registered by next Thursday
night. In June, 1917, when the men of
the 2l-3l classes registered, the total
registration was rising thousand.
Among those who have studied the sit
uation a bit, there is a disposition to be-
lieve that the estimate of the county
board will not stand up against the de-
lection of able bodied men who have
sought employment elsewhere in the past
year.
The chief registrar and his assistants
unite in urging every man whose age
brings him within the years Is to As, in
elusive, TO register early. Wholesale reg.
istrations coming in the evening tend
only to complicate matters for the reg
istTars as well as the registrants. The
hours set apart for registration are from
7 a. m. till p. m, but it is hoped that
the bulk Of the registrations viii have
been entered before noon, and certainly
before 8 p. m,
It should be borne in mind that the
new draft law provides clearly that all
men shall register who shall have at
tanned their eighteenth birthday and who
shall not have attained their forty-sixth
birthday" on or before the registration
day In other words, young man born
Sept II, 1900, must register A man
born Sept II, 1872, should not register,
as he is beyond the law by one day.
