GRANiTEVILIE
Moretown Won Over Graniteville A. c. in
Close Game Saturday.

At Moretown Saturday afternoon one
Of the closest and most interesting games
of the season ended in to victory
for Moretown over the Graniteville A. c.,
an extra inning being necessary to decide
the hard fought contest
The Moretown team was, with two or
three exceptions, identical with the
champion Montpelier seminary team Of
this year, while several old Goddard and
Spaulding men were seen in the line up
Of the fast Grsniteville aggregation.
Both twirlers pitched excellently, Polli
keeping the hits well scattered and Ora
mai holding the opposing batsmen safely
except in one inning Polli and Granai
registered Is and II strikeouts, respec-
lively,
In the first inning Ward singled and
scored on successive hits by Grandfield
and Tribbitt. Moretown added two more
in the third on infeld errors.
In the sixth, two bases ON balls,
coupled with hits by Morrison, Crowley
and King, gave Graniteyille four runs
Moretown tied the score in the last
Of the ninth, when Flynn got life on a
passed third strike and scored on Duba's
hit After Graniteville had been retired
in the 10th, Grandfeld doubled and Ora
mai drove in the winning run with a
single over second. The score:

MAKING GOOD WITH ONE ARM.
Young Italian in American Army Takes
Up Mechanical Drafting.

That "men may rise on stepping
stones of their dead selves to higher
things" is proved by the case of young
Italian boy who was wounded in the
battle of Chateau Thierry
Frank was sergeant in the American
army, and he was as proud of his posi-
ton as any general land after all, they
were both doing the same thing serving
their country He had the same love
for America that every man has who
realizes her opportunities and her free
dom, but perhaps he had keener appre-
citation OF the value of these things, be-
cause he had come over here to gain
them.
During some of the hottest fire Of
Chateau Thierry he was hit by piece
Of shell in the arm, and was carried to
the base hospital, fully conscious, and
with pretty good notion that he was
coming out Of his situation with one arm
Somewhere in France He guessed right
too. With all the wonderful surgery of
the war, there are times when nothing
can save a shattered arm, and this was
one Of them.
Those are long days in the hospitals.
You get to the place where you are
through sleeping and lying quiet for
awhile and you begin to want some
thing TO do, and something to read even
if it's only an advertisement, or clip
ping from some newspaper that talks
English. During one OF those hunts for
entertainment, Frank ran across mum.
Der of little leaflets, pink, white and
blue setting forth certain bit of news
that to a man who knew his old job was
buried as far as he was concerned, sound
ed like an invitation to heaven.
These were the leaflets Of the federal
board for vocational education, getting
it across to the men who were wounded
in France, that the United States was

The Day of Explanation at Hand.

The president has SO interpreted his
mission as to clothe himself with power
not only to make peace with America
enemies but to commit his country to a
new and untried international policy
without as yet offering an adequate ex-
PLANTATION or excuse therefor.
The time has arrived for plain speech
and clear language. Thus far President
Wilson has talked only in nebulous
phrases. He must now tell Congress and
the country just what the covenant"
means and exactly where the country
will head and finally land if it joins the
league. 1t will not do for President
Wilson to further employ glittering gen
eralities and soft idealism; he must be
specific plain, frank and clear. The coun-
try will tolerate no other attitude, for it
is tired of mystery and half truth. The
people are both judges and jury; they
want the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
The American people have right TO
know whether the proposed league is to

Tally PROBABLY TO
STAND FIRM ON THE
FIUME SETTLEMENT 7

Paris, oct 30 Rumors received here
that the American government had re.
fused to accept the latest project put
forward by Foreign Minister Tittoni for
the settlement of the Fiume question
caused a display of deep emotion in
Italian circles in Paris.
1t appears to be the general feeling
in Italian circles that Italy has reached
the extreme limit Of possible conces-
sons and will stand on her present po-
sition. 1t is said Italy's position on her
foreign policy will be consolidated by
the coming elections and that parlia-
ment has resolved to sustain the gov
ernment along the lines Of Foreign Min
lister Tittonis proposed settlement.
The French newspapers generally
concur in the italian point of view, eX-
pressing surprise at the American at
ttude.
