WATER FAMINE IN RUTLAND.
One of the Big Mains From City Reser-
vbir Broken.

Rutland, Jan. 3.-Many Rutland resi-
dents had to melt snow on gas stoves
yesterday tn obtain water for culinary
purposes. One of the big mains leading
from the city reservoir in Mendon to
Rutland broke and because of the deep
snow and the great amount of frost in
the ground it was difficult to locate the
trouble. The result was that the greater
part of the water leaving the pond went
to waste The pressure gauge at the
city registered Al, whereas it is usually
up TO 100. Many houses had no water
at all and in most Of the others 1t merely
dripped from the faucets.
The accident made it necessary for
housewives to let out fires in stoves hav-
ing water fronts and heat their kitchens
by means Of gas stove ovens. Had there
been a fire the department would have
been without means Of fighting il.

DWELLING DAMAGED
House of W. H. Farrar Set on Fire By
Kerosene Stove.

With the mercury about 20 degrees be
low zero on Wednesday evening the
Montpelier fire department was called
out at 6:20 o'clock for a fire in the house
of W. H. Farrar on Liberty street, which
did probably some 81 800 damage. The
fire was confined to the rear part OF the
house. although considerable damage was
done to the roof of the front part. Mr..
Farrar carries 5000 insurance through
the b. A. Sumner agency, which will GOV
er the loss. The first two stories of the
house on the front end were damaged
quite little from water
Mr. Farrar lighted a kerosene stove in
the back room on the second floor for
the purpose of keeping the pipes in that
room from freezing. He went TO supper
and while he was there the fire was dis
covered burning in the bath room. He
went to the room with a Pyrene gun,
making an effort to put out the fire, but
failed, and the fire department was
called. He expressed the thought last
evening that the stove must have eX-
ploded 1t looked is though there was a
double floor in that portion Of the house.
A draft was caused as soon as the fire
broke into the partition, which caused

FRENCH CAPTURED
MORE PRISONERS
THAN THEY HAD MEN
In Addition 500 Dead Teutons Were
Counted on the Ground-The French
Lost Less Than so Men.

Italian Headquarters, Wednesday (By
Associated Press) The French in the
recent successful operation on Monte
Tomba captured more prisoners than
they had men engaged, according to a
veteran officer who witnessed the fight.
1T was a record making fight in many
respects" he declared Taking more
prisoners than the men engaged is among
the record in military annals. In addi-
tion to 400 prisoners, we counted 500
dead on the ground and no one knows
how many more were in the caverns and
under the bushes. The perfect French
military system enabled them to accom-.
plsh this with an insignificant loss of
less than 80 men. The enthusiasm of the
French troops carried beyond the
trenches and they could have held ad-
vanced positions behind the enemy lines,
but it would have necessitated a reorgan-
ization of defenses, so they were ordered
to retire"

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION

1t has long been our custom to
turn in the autumn of the year in
praise and Thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His many blessings and mer-
cies TO us as a nation. This year we
have special and moving cause to be
grateful and to rejo;ce.
God has in His good pleasure given
us peace. 1t has not come as a mere
cessation of arms, n mere relief from
the strain and tragedy of war. 1t
has come as great triumph of right.
Complete victory has brought us
not peace alone. but tho confident
promise of new day as well, in
which justice shall replace force and
jealous intrigue among the nations.
Our gallant armies have participated
in triumph which is not marred or
stained by any purpose Of selfish
aggression 49,
In a righteous cause they have won
immortal glory and hexe pobly serv-
ed their nAtion IN serving mankind.
God has indeed been gracious. We
have cause for such rejoicing as re-
wives and strengthens in us all the
best traditions of our national hia-
tory. A new day shines about us.
in which our hearts take new courage
ana look FORWARD WIN new nope TO
new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
Divine guidance in the performance
OF those duties and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors OF act or
purpose. and pray that in all that we
shall strengthen the ties of friend
ship and mutual respect upon which
we must assist to build the new struc-
ture of peace and good will among
the nations. ffsts
Wherefore I, Woodrow Wilson, Pres
ident of the United States OF America
do hereby designate Thursday. the
2Sth day of November, next. as
day of thanksgiving and prayer, and
invite the people thruout the land
to cease upon that day from their
ordinary occupations and in their
several homes and places of worship
to render thanks to God, the ruler
of nations.
In witness whereof have hereun-
to set nv hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

whose religion is the survival of the
fittest, with the resultant doctrine
that might makes right.
Let us be thankful that our great
American nation is founded on Christ
ian principles, on the doctrine of
human rights and civil and religious
freedom for all. And that God has
so kindly protected and favored this
land of ours. Surely this is an un-
usual Thanksgiving day in the history
of our nation and of the world. The
Presidents Thanksgiving proclama-
tion, not yet given out as this is writ
ten, will undoubtedly make special
recognition of Gods answer to pray
ers of this nation offered on Memorial
day. Millions OF eager Christian peo-
pie are doubtless thinking of this
Let US not boast that our guns, our
power, our industries, our peerless
allied armies and navies did it, but
let our great nation this Thanksgiv-
ing day give God alone credit for 1t
all.
With hearts filed with gratitude
and voices raised in grateful praise
to Him let us thank Almighty God
for the bright prospect of a rapidly
approaching day when war shall be
abolished. and Jesus Christ proclaim

Prince of peace. and the Lord of

Thanksgiving, 1918

On. account of the influenza cpl
demic no church services are to be
held on this Thanksgiving day, and
while the hearts of many are sadden-
ed because of the untimely taking
away of so many persons thruout
the nation because of this universal
epidemic, there are more causes than
ever in the history of this nation for
rejoicing and Thanksgiving. Because
of there being no services the New
Era asked each Of the resident pas
tors to prepare sermon, or medita-
ton for publication. They have done
so, and their admirable expressions
are to be found on this page of the
New Era. These contributions are
such as bring to the hearts of the
people of this vicinity the spirit of
Thanksgiving, and the remembrance
OF the Ruler of the universe, to whom
every heart should turn and to whom
every head should bow in n Thanks

ton perfectly expressed the spirit of
the day in his Proclamation in the
year 1883. but this proved to he but

Lincoln issued the Proclamation for
this great day which has been kept
year by year by every President since
that time until we find ourselves In

we rll had faith and showed 1t, for

United War Work; our good women

Today America stands at the top.
She is the nation CT the world because
