am not writing about death. When write

Frank E. Campbell and his associates do not look

in fact they refuse to be cassed undertakers The

"How can they do it," asked woman who had

so FRUSTRATED when did not know what to do and
how to do it, they arranged everything. Not once
did they bother me; all my worries were taken from

The war department has given them to

Of case for this flag and others that
will probably be given to the State. The
effort is still to be made to secure the
colors of the 1O1st ammunition train on
two grounds namely that the train was
composed for the most part of Vermonters
and secondly that these boys furnished
most of the money to buy the colors that
were carried in the parade last month in
Boston. SO that there is feeling that Ver-
mont is entitled to the colors.
Major Munsel claims Vermont is also
entitled to the colors OF the 1o3rd machine
gun battalion on the ground that the boys
from thtis State supplied most of the
funds to buy the colors. but that matter
is not yet reached in the effort of securing
flags carried over Vermont boys in the
world war. The 302nd regiment was in the
battles of the st. Mihel sector between
the days Of November to II. inclusive.

1t is apparent that the breast wound is
more serious than it had been thought.
The bone Of the right arm is crushed,
almost the whole charge of the gun
going into that arm, near the elbow.
Young Richardson went outside the
house with the gun to shoot some birds
nearby. His mother saw him from the
window and as he was about to shoot
advised him that they were robins so
that he did not shoot but turned around
TO go back to the house. When about
facing the window the gun discharged,
the charge striking Mrs. Richardson, as
described above. DR.. w. r. Hardness

ference Terms

On Friday mt st. Germain, the Aus
trians, Who Have Been CIamoring

Wishes Complied with

With the hour at hand when Germany
must make known to the allied and as
sociated powers her intentions with re-
gard to the peace terms submitted to
her. the Austrians are soon to know
what their penalty is to be for having
been associated with Germany in the
war
Thursday at Versailles will witness the

cation handing in their reply to the
allied terms. The reply will consist of
volume OF counter proposals of print
ceptances aggregating 10S pages of print
ed matter
Friday at st. Germain the Austrians
who have been clamoring for an early
presentation of the peace treaty that has
been arranged for them, will be called
before The peace congress and handed
the document.
This has been made possible through an
agreement reached by the Council of
Four on one mighty question which had
blocked the council in its efforts to set
tie the issues with the Austrians-Italy's
demand that she be awarded Fiume,
seaport on the northeastern Adriatic and
given other concessions in Dalmatia
which President Wilson and Premier
believed she was not fully entitled. The
nature of the settlement has not yet
been made public.
The German reply will run the gamut
from financial inability to meet the al
lied terms through long series of pro-
testations Of unfairness of treatment to
the declaration that it would be injus-
tice for the allies to demand the right
to try German culprits charged with
having committed excesses during the
war.
Great stress is to be laid in the
German document on the assertion
that the allies are virtually abandon
ing President Wilson's fourteen points
for peace. which the Germans declare
they accepted as the basis for the
signing of the armistice.
1t Is reported that the Germans in
an endeavor to offset the entente
claims for reparation will go so far
as to put in a counter claim for near
ly thirteen billion marks for alleged
damages suffered because of the
blockade laid by the allies against
Germany.
American troops who since last
August have been with the allied
forces in northern Russia are soon to
be started homeward. The American
cruiser Des Moines has arrived at
Archangel conveying transports with
British volunteers to relieve the
Americans. and the Gunboat Yankton
and other transports are expected in
a few days. The first batch of Amer
leans is expected to be homeward
bound within a week on board some
of the transports.
