HEON OUT
OF PRISON CAMP
Lived on Diet of Boiled Leaves and
Horsefesh

Albert Heon has received a letter
from Arthur Heon, who has recently
been liberated from a German prison
camp.
Vichy, Dec. II, 1918
Dear Albert
1t is long time since. I wrote to
you because in Germany they would
not let us write only to our folks. If
we wrote to some one else they would
throw the letter away. So now / am
out of Germany I can write to any
one please, and, believe
me, it seems good to be
out with people that you
can understand and to be able
to go where ycu please without hav-
ing a guard to walk behind with a
gun. Believe me, that war is hell.
The man that said that did not lie,
and a thing I'll never forget is the
good Red Cross. They saved our liv-
es in Germany. All the Germans
would give US was hot water with po-
tatoes in it and very few of them.
They would give US that soup twice
a day and cup of boiled leaves for
coffee in the morning and one slice
of black bread. We called it shoe
polish because it was black as polish.
And when we would get meat it was
some old horses that had been killed
in 1915-16, and they would can the
stuff and gave it to us. Our sleep
ing places were few boards nailed
together and an old bag full of leaves
and paper and two old blankets that
were like handkerchiefs. If you COW
cred your shoulders your feet were
out and if you covered your feet,
your body was out; and there were
so many fleas and bed bugs and lice
they would carry your bed away if
you did not watch it. It was some
life, believe me. A man can not real
ize what war is until he has been in
it, and I am glad that there is not
any more Of the family in it. One is
enough. There are some people here
that have as many as four or five
killed in this terrible war. It is a
shame. Most all the women we see in
this country are dressed in black.
There are not many men left IL
France or in Germany.
l hope to be with you at New
Y ears.
From ARTHUR P. HEON.

Montpelier, Jan. 15-Commissioner
S. B. Bates has received notification
from the federal highway department
that the federal government will ex-
pend in Vermont in the coming year
,39508 on government aid to high
ways and the work of selecting the
places is under way. The govern
ment already has allotted to Yer
mont the money on four jobs beside
the above, and work on one of which
has been completed. This is the
Moretown job of $10,192.46. The
work was under way on French hill
last spring when the government, be-
cause of war conditions, stopped it.
This amounts to S18,436.29, while like
the Salisbury and Hardwick jobs, and
the French hill job, were not worked
on last year because of the war con-
ditions. These amount to $17,015.09
and $15,656.44 respectively.

PROGRESS OF THE
ARMENIAN DRIVE
Ringing Message from President
Wilson

The campaign for "Relief in the
Near East" is well under way in St
| Johnsbury.
The various local churches gave
splendid assistance in bringing this
matter to the attention of the people
and the meeting at the Armory Mon
day night settled all doubts as to
the immediate necessity of this cam
paign.
No one who heard General Aga
petain Monday night could fail to be
touched by his description of the ter
rible conditions which have existed
and still exist in these stricken coun-
tries and no one who is able can fail
to respond for relief funds.
st. Johnsbury's thirteen teams Of
solicitors are now busy canvassing
the town and beginning tomorrow the
Caledonian will publish reports show
ing the progress of each of these
thirteen teams of workers.
This campaign is backed by the
great statesmen and prominent men
of our country including Hon. Will
liam Howard Taft, Hon. Charles
Evans Hughes, Charles w. Eliot,
James Cardinal Gibbons, Vance C.
Mccormick, Henry Morgenthau, John
r. Mott, and many others, and it is
urged by the President in the follow
ing proclamation:
For more than three years Ameri-
can philanthropy has been large
factor in keeping aliye Armenian, Sy-
rian, Greek and other exiles and re-
fugees of Western Asia.
On two former occasions I have ap-
pealed to the American people in be-
half of these homeless sufferers,
whom the vicissitudes of war and
massacre had brought to the extrem-
est need.
The response has been most gener-
Gus, but now the period of rehabili-
tation is at hand. Vastly larger
sums will be required to restore these
once prosperous, but now impoverish-
ed, refugees to their former homes
than were required merely to sustain
life in their desert exile.
1t is estimated that about 100000
Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other
war sufferers in the Near East will
require outside help to sustain them
through the winter. Many of them
are now hundreds of miles from their
homeland. The vast majority of them
are helpless women and children, in
Guiding 100000 orphans.
The American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East is appealing for
a minimum of $50 ,999, 900 to be sub
scribed January 1919, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
I, therefore, again call upon the
people OF the United States to make
even more generous contributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain through the winter months
those, who, through no fault of their
own, have ben left in a starving,
shelterless condition, and to help re-
establish these ancient and sorely op-
pressed people in their former homes
on a self-supporting basis.
