ROY PHELPS. \ TRIBUTE

Roy Phelps. a graduate tclass o.
'l6l Of Burr and Burton Seminary
whose recent death at Camp Upton
from pneumonia was announced prdvi-
ously in The Journal, had many
friends and acquaintance in Manches.
Ter who will dcporc his loss He was
a young man Of such abundant vitality
and such wholesome personality that
he radated health wherever he ehanc
ed TO be Among many admirable
qualities was the outstanding one of
loyalty to convictions and fearlessness
in their assertion.
Frank and outspoken IN manner his
very honesty disarmed at once any
resentment his freedom Of speech
might occasion. His frankness was
the engaging sort that gained him
many loyal and admiring friends.
One could always depend absolutely on
Roy. He was loyal to the core, essen
TALLY manly and courageous, physical
and moral fear were apparently,
strangers to him.
His untimely death robs his many
acquaintance of true friend whose
influence and example will, however,
always remain to inspire His zeal to
enlist. at first disappointed, was char
acteristic Of loyalty to worthy causes,
and he as truly gave his life for his
country and for the noble crusade for
which il stands, as though he had
actually fallen in the service overseas.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The Patrol Committee" work il
now well under way and Col. Sim.
mons, having completed his prelimin.
airy work, is now visiting Rutland
Burlington and other places in order
that the plan of campaign may de.
velop from those centers.
This movement for good road legis.
lation and other definite legislation
along progressive lines will develop
rapidly from this time.
Every person should learn of this
movement at the earliest opportunity
and lee ready to give it support The
objects are ones which any person in
t.rested in the state will endorse and
the mc,hod to be used in attaining
these objects promises to be very eff
fective.
The American City Bureau, which is
aiding the conduct of the movement,
has Fad much experience along this
line and has successfully conducted
many similar campaigns.
Manchester people should feel some
pride that the state wide movement
for good roads had its origin in the
Manchester Board Of Trade, and larg-
f.,
er places like Burlington, Rutland and
Bennington have unselfshly given US
credit for our enterprise and, without
question, voted Manchester men into
prominent places on the Patrol Com
mittee."
Manchester people must now sup
port the movement and show the state
that we are worthy of being the birth
place of what promises to be the
largest systematic campaign for good
legislation ever conducted in Vermont.
II is not campaign of any party
or clique, nor is it conducted in the in
terest of any present or future candi-
date for office. There is absolutely
nothing back Of ii except conviction
that Vermont wants good roads, bust
ness like accounting by its officers,
good schools, and equitable taxation,
and wants to develop its agricultural
resources, and that Vermont people
can have all these things If they or
ganize so their wants will be made
emphatically known to the legislature
and the governor.
The work Of the Patrol Committee
is in some respects war work"
There will not be another opportunity
for two years to promote legislation
for the benefit Of Vermont.
We must now prepare for conditions
which will prevail after the war
There will be a period Of unprecedent-
ed progress after peace is declared
and Vermont must be ready TO join the
procession. We are taking a leading
place in all war activities and going
over the top time after time Let us
20 over the top in law making and be
ready for the boys when they come
back, and be ready so that they will
want to stay in Vermont.

He suggested. Another German Ad-
vance,
Private Homer A. Temple, at Camp
Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia,
where he is a member of Field Hos

Policing His Post. /"
The favorite title was "Kamerad"
Three soldiers suggested "A Lone
Ace Is Better Than A Full House."
1.-The End OF A Perfect Day" was
suggested by many contestants.
One soldier thought the expression
on the American soldiers face was
occasioned by the disco, cry of his old
cook among his new prisoners. Sew
eral suggested They're Sure o. L."
Another submitted, How Did

This paper invited soldiers all over

ters poured in upon the National
Headquarters Of Trench and Camp

where the various editions are pub

were very funny. All reflected de-
gree Of confidence In American arms
and explains good deal of the dash
that has characterized our troops
abroad.
Another soldier had the same idea
a. that suggested by Private Cor
man. But the rules Of the contest
stipulated as one of the conditions
that "the best title means the most
suitable, the cleverest, the SHORT

Corporal John Broadbent, of Com

Internal Palace. Hades.
Friend wilhelm:
see by my asbestos copy of the
Berlin Lokal Anzeiger that you broke
silence recently west Of the battlefield
Of Cambria and, asked one OF your
ofacers: what have not done to
preserve. the world from such hoF-
rors?" Don't you know what folks
will say to that. Wilhelm
1t is sure to bring up how you did
not let Austria accept Serbia's abject
surrender of her national rights to
preserve peace. And that you did not
accept England's offer to arbitrate
and save the world from war
Then besides, my dear Willie, ev-
erybody knows by this time that you
haven't treated Belgium in a way to
make for early peace. You remem-
Der / kept warning you that this is
good frightfulness but bad business
You know you did not leave very many
