London, May 1.An order in coull+
Gil has been ISSUED further ppstpon-
ing the operation of the National
service act, or CONSUMPTION, as re-
spects Ireland beyond May /, to
which lit had been postponed pre-
viously. Some OF the morning news
papers say the postponement is due
to the governments s. wish to introduce
a home rule bill before proceeding
to enforce CONSUMPTION in Ireland.
Opinion In the 1obbies of parIia-
ment is that a home rule bill viii be
presented in the house of commons
next week.
The fact that the British premier
said that there were now more Irish
States than there are Irish in Ire-
land and that the attitude of Ireland
might reasonably be expected to be
Influenced by the sentiment OF the
Irish elements in America, ,it is under
stood, was referred to by the admin

bill once enacted, giving Ireland a
meastlre of independence fairly COM
parable with that enjoyed by Canada
and Australia, officials here are con-
WINGED the Irish in America not only
will urge their kinsnen In Ireland
to submit to conseription as they
themselves have done In America

for generations past they have ex-
tended to the Irish at home.

ed. The heavy defeat which tile
Germans suffered Monday
forced them to pause and bring
up fresh troops before continu-
ing their drive for the hill posi-.
tions in the KENNEL region.
A few more hours, however,
will suffice for their reorganiza-
ton and another assault may be
expected Immediately.
The seriousness Of the German
intentions here has been evinced
In numerous ways. On Monday,
for example, they pushed al
least one field gun forward to
within seven hundred yards of
the battle line and other guns
were brought close up.
Heavy artillery firing COM
tinued at various parts Of the
battle line during the night and
there were the usual outpost &C
tions. The back areas between
Ypres and Hazebrouck were
heavily shelled by the Germans.
An enemy attempt yesterday af-

Emperor William appears to
have been an interested and ac-
tive visitor IN the Flanders re-
gion yesterday. According toI
prisoners he has been making
his usual famboyant speeches
to troops and he stated the other
day that the Germans were try.
ing to separate the French and

teristically that the Germans
were going to put the British
back on the English channel
where they belonged. /"

"BehOld How Great a Matter Little
Fire Kindleth.'

Under the above caption the follow
ing was sent to the voters Of Barton
the last Of last week, and the Monitor
copies it notwithstanding the fact
that it is past election day.
"In the Monitor of Aug. 28th, o. w.
Locke made an explanation of certain
conditions of interest to every voter
| in Barton.
"Evidently it hit something.
"Sept. 4th, the Monitor contained a
solid column of signed articles at
tempting to discredit Mr.. Locke's
statement.
'It is true that at the time I told
Mr.. Reirden that I had decided to be-
come a candidate for representative
that he at that time stated that he
reserved the right to become a can
didate.' 1t is also true that he had
previously assured me and others that
he would not enter the race against
an Orleans candidate.
"Mr. Baldwin says of Mr.. Locke's
statement to that effect, This state
ment is an error and also says, Mr..
Reirden tells me he has never given
assurance to anyone that he would
not enter the race against an Orleans
candidate'
off Mr.. Baldwin still has doubts on
these points let him recall his own
words to me when he came to me in
Mr.. Reirden's interest. Or if he or
any other voter doubts that Mr.. Reir-
den gave such assurances, let him or
them inquire of E. c. Skinner, j. G.
Turnbull, G.. J. Gross or B. 0. Smith.
'Mr. Locke wishes to assure Mr..
Gilmour that he has read the Free
mans Oath, is fairly familiar with it's
provisions, and that in his interpreta-
tion of his duty under that oath, he is
prepared to give Mr.. Gilmour good
and sufficient reasons why he cannot
support Mr.. Reirden for representa-
tive. One of these reasons is that
Mr.. Reirden, while representing
town which has constantly given a
large majority against license, voted
against one of the strongest temper
ance measures presented at that ses-
sion; namely the so-called Morse Bill
which provided that in the event that
majority of the total vote in the
whole state should be No. then Ii
cense shall not be granted in any
town in the state
"Will Mr.. Reirden dispute the Off
cial house record?
''In view of the apparent difference
in some of these statements, deem it
but talr to the voters OF Barton to
place before them such facts as will
enable each to ascertain the truth
for himself
Having acted in good faith upon
the assurances given me l cannot
turn back.
81 will appreciate and be grateful
for your votes.
"If elected pledge myself to stand
for and defend all that is right and
true, to give my earnest effort for the
welfare of the people of Vermont, and
uphold the best traditions Of the town
Of Barton.
"Sincerely yours,
"F. G.. Brown"

Three Killed, 18 Injured.

Fred S. Platt of Rutland, clerk of
the u. S. court, w. j. Conant of Bel
lows Falls and Richard King of Bos-
ton, were victims Tuesday afternoon
Of a train wreck in Dummerston, and
Is others were injured.
AS nearly as can be ascertained
previous to an investigation the
southbound passenger train pulled on
to the Dummerston siding and allow
ed the south-bound White Mountain
train to pass. Extra freight No. 6, al
so southbound, passed the semaphore
north of the station before 80 had got
ten onto the main line to set the sig
nal. No. 80 stopped for the brake
man to throw the switch and the ex-
ira crashed into the rear end of it.
The rear end of the last passenger
car was smashed and the two cars
ahead of it telescoped each other for
about half their length, causing hav-
oc and desolation in all three cars.
The three men killed were in the
smoking car, but passengers in all the
cars were injured. The passenger
locomotive went to Brattleboro and
returned with two passenger cars and
several physicians and surgeons and
then went back with the dead and
injured.

Lyman HI. Howe Coming.

The renowned classic in film shows,
Lyman H. Howe's Travel festival, is
coming to Seaver's hall, Friday eve
ming with an even greater variety of
subjects than usual. The latest Howe
entertainment is cast along the lines
of former programs, but this seasons
effort is entirely new and originally
fresh, and, like a bon-bon box, every
morsel in it is pleasing surprise.
Among the headline features are
hair-raising aviation stunts by our
fighting marines, including loops,
banks, spins, dives and many eccen-
trio yet graceful movements which
are pictured wildly; the thrilling cap
ture alive of ferocious animals in the
Rockies; a perilous jungle trip to
Kaieteur Falls in British Guiana; a
lifelike reproduction in clay of the
popular Red Cross poster, "The
Greatest Mother in the World;" a
quaint tour of old Mexico; gentle
scenes of peaceful southern France,
enhanced by natural coloring; and
"Scenic Distortions" an extraordin-
ary film in which some very peculiar
and grotesque effects are disclosed.
The program is properly seasoned
with genuinely humorous comedy
cartoons and inspiring patriotic nov
elites, the product of the Howe stu
diOs.

STODDARD RE-NOMINATED
No Opposition to Hamblet and Lewis
for Senators.

The only contest on the county
ticket in Tuesdays primaries was
over the election of a states attorney
F. D. Thompson entered the primar-
les against Colby Stoddard, who had
held the Office two years and by Gus
tom was entitled to a reelection but
which Thompson decided to make an
effort to break.
The detailed vote as given in an
other column shows that Stoddard
received 1922 votes to Thompson's
882. C. E. Hamblet of Barton and
H. H. Lewis of North Troy had no
opposition on the Republican ticket
and became the nominees of the
party and since the county is always
strongly Republican will receive the
election with the rest Of the Republi-
can ticket.
Town Representatives nominated by
the Republicans and whose names are
given in another column, are all said
to favor the prohibitory amendment
except Sweet of Lowell Lowell vot-
ed for Clement and he feels that in
opposing the amendment he will rep
resent the largest number of voters in
his town.

Brown Wins by One Vote.

F. C. Brown of Orleans won the
nomination for Republican town rep
esentative of Barton from w. w.
Reirden of Barton by one vote, the
count being Brown 236, Reirden 235,
and the Democratic candidate, M. F.
Prime, received Ia votes.
The contest developed over the de-
sire of Mr.. Reirden and his friends to
have him try for the speakership of
the next house, should Barton honor
him with reelection, Notwithstanding
the fact that in consequence Of long
standing custom of alternating the
election between Barton and Orleans
it was the time for an Orleans man
to represent the town. With the de-
cision of the voters in favor of Mr..
Brown, the precedent heretofore es-
tablished became more than ever es-
tablished.
