The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-06-22

The expenditure of 100000 in tbs
erection of repair shops in Rutland fol
the Rutland railroad adds an anchor to a
business which Rutland very much de-
sires to retain and it should mean an in
creased activity in railroad work. Some
of us fellows who are located on Jerk
lines" or spur tracks appreciate what it
means to town or city to have large
railroad interests, along with the best
railroad accommodations possible. We
wish to congratulate Rutland.

CURRENT COMMENT
Cost of Making a Paper.

Three leading Vermont daily papers
have been forced to raise their mail rates
during the past couple Of weeks owing to
the advance in publishing costs, while the
Springfield Reporter has joined the Bel
lows Falls Times as a So year weekly
paper. Publishers are at last being com
PEELED to pass on increased costs just as
every other business man is doing in
stead of trying to carry the burden them
selves as most publishers have been do
ing. If there is any reason why people
who have to pay more for everything
else they use shouldn't pay more for
their papers the reason isn't evident

The New England men who went to
Great Britain in the sawmill units are
meeting the requirements in fine style
their output having exceeded that of any
other units in the same service. And
why shouldn't they surpass? Men who
were brought up in the service of the
most modern kind and who have the
willingness to work might be expected
to take the lead That, it seems, is what
the New England men have been doing,

Perhaps Barre women are not slackers
in this way; at least, il the shoe does

among Red Cross workers is the appar

have in the doings Of the organization.
The ST. Adams Messenger, in comment

the sewing, that the number OF workers

for sewing, of this number not more than |
30 or 40 have done any of the sewing.

The U. S. marine corps casualty list
composed chiefly of men who died in ac-

action, is grim reminder of the staunch
stand which the boys made at Chateau
Thierry, thus helping to stay the prog
ress of the Germans across the Marine
and into the lowlands of France. There
were few men missing in action.

Jews Are Enthusiastic Over Recruiting Office
 Opened in Palestine

London, August 16.-The enthusiasm that has marked the opening of re cruiting. offices in Jerusalem and Jaf- ia for the enlistment of the Jews of Palestine as reinforcements for Jew ish battalions sent out from England has been striking and significant, ac- cording to dispatches received by Reu- ter's, Limited.
 The volunteer movement began in Palestine some weeks before the ar rival of either the Zionist commission or the first Jewish battalion from Eng land.

Balfour, British secretary for Englands af- fairs, that Great Britain was in sym pathy with Zionist aspirations, formed an additional reason for their resolve to enlists@in the British army. yir- tually all the able-bodied Jews of Pal estines have applied at the recruiting office for service

|Armenians Compelled
 to Sign Peace Treaty

Boston August 16-The national Ar menian commission of Tiflis was com pelled to sign a peace with Turkey in order to save a large section of the Armenian population from eXtermina- tion, but the struggle against the Turks is continuing, according to cable message given out in this city today at the headquarters of the Armenian National Union of America, from its accredited representatives abroad. The message said the Armenian army was holding the Baku- Elisavetpol line. AS London advices state the British now are at Baku, this would link up the English forces with the Armenians. The message was as follows:
 Have received telegram from north ern Persia to the effect that the na- tional Armenian council of Tiflis felt compelled to sign peace with Turkey whereby the district of Erivan, Etch- mialzin, as far as the River Karsa2h h on the east have been proclaimed as an independent Armenian republic, aiId this is in order to save a large sec ton of the Armenian population from extermination. The struggle against the Turks, nevertheless, continues, and the Armenians are holding the BakL- Elisavetpol line.
 "Antranik, the commander of the Armenian forces at Nahitchovan, has protested in the name of the Armenian army against the peace treaty with Turkey and has declared his army is determined to continue the war against the Turks.
 "A large section of the ArmeniaEs from districts of Kars and Alexandro- pol occupied by the Turks, have moved to Vladicaucasus and are in dire dis tress."
