MUST TAKE "BUCK" COAL
Mr.. Jones Wires that Vermonters
Cannot Get Any Other Kind

The local fuel committee have re-
ceived the following telegram from
H. J. NJ Jones, who has been attend
ing conference in Boston with the
New England administrators and
with the anthracite coal committee
in Philadelphia, which indicates that
the coal supply is in bad condition
and that buckwheat will have to be
materially used:
"Our only salvation is No. 1 buck.
Allotment cannot be increased. In
struct local committees to assist deal
ers in making canvass for orders of
buck coal in their communities, then
notify our office the number of car
loads they can take. We can secure
buck now, doubtful later. I important
that action be at once given wide
publicity. Every domestic consumer
can use some percentage. They must
take buck coal to insure comfort this
winter"

Speaker Dana Re-Nominated

1t was a most handsome thing
which the Republicans of New Haven
did in re-nominating Speaker Dana
to the house without single dissent
ing vote Evidently Mr.. Dana en-
joys the fullest confidence of the peo-
pie in his home town, for it is most
unusual that man can corner every
last vote at an election. Generally
there are a few men who get dis
grunt1ed just because a man is strong
and there are those who religiously
believe that when a head is elevated
above the level of the crowd it should
be smashed out of general principles.
Mr.. Dana, it is understood, will seek
reelection to the speakership
when he returns to the house. I'm
doubtedly his county will stand SOL
idly behind him and it is an open
secret that he has secured the pledg-
es of some of the men who seem des-
tined to bulk large in the proceedings
next winter. At any rate, he leads
the field of aspirants today, and will
enjoy the prestige which comes from
having once received the token of
confidence which an election to the
speakership represents.-St Adams
Messenger.

TWO TOWNS
ALREADY STARTED
The Women of Barnet and St. Johns
bury Preparing for Liberty
Loan Drive

st. Johnsbury and Barnet are al
ready promoting the interests of the
coming Liberty loan drive through
the members of their woman's town
committee.
All the women's organizations in
st. Johnsbury have been asked to pur-
chase a bond, this action having been
taken early to give opportunity to
bring the matter before the members
at any meeting that may be held be-
fore the campaign opens. In res
ponse to this invitation the Outlook
club, so well known locally as an al
ways active body of women in any
patriotic or helpful enterprise, have
promptly responded and are the first
to purchase bond. The w. c. T. u,
another of the towns earnest work
ing bodies, has also signifed their in
tention of investing in bond. 1t is
expected the other bodies will res
pond equally as freely when the sub
iect is officially brought to them.
On Saturday evening, September
28th, the opening day of the drive, a
lecture is to be delivered at Barnet by
Rev. Frank Laird of West Barnet,
and five four-minute speeches are to
be given by boy from each village
in the town. There will be large
Liberty Loan booth in the center of
the hall, where any prospective buy
ers can secure information or buy a
bond from solicitors who will be pre-
sent.

GERMAN BLUFF
Orders Contain Instructions to De-
fend Salient

Washington, Sept. 2O-Captured
German orders prove conclusively
that the German official boast that
American troops took the st. Mihiel
salient because the German army had
been considering the evacuation "for
give the most detailed instructions
years" is a typical deception.
The official orders of the Tenth
German Division, dated Sept. 8, far
from giving orders for a retreat
which had been planned "for years" {"
give the most detailed instructions
for defence of the salient. General
Pershing transmitted copy of the
order by cable today to the War
Department.
The German commanders thought
they had provided for every contin-
gency.

LUMBER EMBARGO
Sweeping Order Issued by the U. S.
Government
(Snncia1 tn the Caledonia

Especial to the Caledonian)
Burlington, Sept. 19-The most
sweeping embargo that ever struck
Burlington and which may result in a
tie-up of a large part of the lumber
operations in the city for an indefi-
mite period, was put into effect last
night. Freight cars partially loaded
and others ready for shipment stood
still yesterday and today. The en-
barge affects every state east of the
Mississippi river and north of the
Ohio, and prevents shipments of lum-
Der without permit from any point
to another within that territory. If
permits are not issued none of the
lumber dealers in this city will be
able to do any business.
The embargo was issued by the car
section service and was effective
Monday night at midnight, but was
not known in this city until yester-
day afternoon. The embargo is SO
drastic that public buildings are not
excluded.
One firm yesterday had 1,500 feet
of lumber ready for shipment to Yer
gennes. Some cars were already
loaded. The lumber men here are
pretty worried. A part of the Local
business is done with the government
direct, but most of it is with Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, or other points

BOYS AND GIRLS PLANT BEET
SEED FOR SIRUP

Boys and girls in Is states have
planted 1O,414 ounces of sugar-beet
seed supplied them by the United
States Department of Agriculture for
sirup. The seed was secured through
the Bureau of Plant Industry and
distributed by the States Relations
Service to Is state leaders of boys
and girls club work in the North
and West. Each boy or girl receiv-
ing an ounce of the seed is pledged to
grow it and to make the beets into
sirup. 1t is estimated that, with av-
erage yields, this might result in the
home manufacture of more than 40,-
900 gallons of sirup, which may be
used III many ways as a sugar substi-
tute in general cooking.

LETTER FROM

Says the Americans Chased the Ger
mans like Jack Rabbits
Lyndon Arnold has received an
other letter from his son, reported
severely wounded a month ago, which
will interest all our readers.
Dear Father:
I have gotten in pretty good shape
again. The sea bathing and air has
done me lots of good. Will go back
to duty soon. 1t looks as if the
Hun was on his last legs and about
to be done up in good shape. The
way he gave up so easily and surren-
dered when we were after him would
make it look as if his morale was
about gone.
1t was wonderful sight on July
18 to see how our men ran over his
machine guns. 1t really looked as if
they were chasing jack rabbits in
stead of deadly machine guns. We
had to stop and laugh about it. Be
lieve me, when Sherman said war was
hell, he was speaking from very linn
tied experience. I don't know how
he would express it now with this
great variety going On. The hell
that breaks loose when you go over
the top is something beyond descrip-
tion 1t just seems as if the world
was coming to an end and everything
Between the Chateau
Thierry stop and the scissors show
we had quite bit of real war. Must
close now.

British Do Not Drop Bombs on Hos

to initiate Germany's outrageous

their objectives of military import
ance, refrained from the casual bomb
dropping which might have hit the

POSITIVE PROOF
Germans Co-operated in the Austrian
Peace Drive

With the French Army in France
-(by the Associated Press) .-Avia-
tors flying over the region of Eper-
nay on the night of September 16
dropped leaflets reproducing the Aus
tro-Hungarian peace conference pro-
posal in French.
There are no Austrian aviators on
the western front, so far as is known.
1t is supposed, therefore, that the
leaflets were dropped by German air
men with the object of starting
movement in favor of the proposal.
The only result of this propaganda
has been to raise the presumption
that while the proposal is referred to
in Germany as an "isolated action" on
the part Of Austria, the German army
at least approves it.

tile business at Clifton. seemed to
be the only one who could help set

He went out 10 camp and he has
been forced to stay there for the past
