When the European war began,

When the European war began.
Roosevelt vigorously advocated a
policy of national preparedness, urg-
ing universal military training for the
nations youth. In speeches through
out the country and in his magazine
and newspaper writings he criticized,
in this respect, the policies of Wood
row Wilson during Mr.. Wilson's first
term as president.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it has been said. was
keenly disappointed when he did not
receive the Republican nomination for
President in 1916 At the same time,
however, he refused to follow the
advice of some of his staunchest fol-
| lowers that he again head the Pro-
gresive party ticket. Instead he pre-
vailed upon the Progressive party to
make Charles Evans Hughes, the Re-
publican candidate, its own choice.
He campaigned for Mr.. Hughes.
/ With the reelection of Mr.. Wilson,
and Americas entry into the world
| war soon after, Roosevelt immediate
.ately supported the President and bit
terly asailed the pro-Gernan, paciflsts
and other type of men who attempted
to delay speeding up the war.
With the United States beliiger-
ent, Roosevelt endeavored to obtain
! the consent of the War Department
to establish an Army division which
he was anxious to take to France.
This division was to have Included
many Of the Rough Riders who were
his associates in the campaign IN
Cuba, and younger men of the same
strenuous habits. The necessary per
mission for the formation of such a
force was not forth coming even
| though Roosevelt expressed willing
mess to accompany it as a subordinate
officer
Denied the privilege of fighting for
his flag, Theodore Roosevelt's In
terest was centered on his family's
participation in the war. His four
sons and his son-in-law, DR.. Derby,
carried out prediction made by the
| former President before the United
States took up arms-that if war
came rhev would enter service. Theo-
dore Jr., became a Major and Archi-
bald a captain, both in France;
Quentin entered a French aviation
squadron, and DR.. Derby the medical
service, also both in France. Kermit,
failing to pass physical examination
which would admit him to the United
States Army, received a commission
in the British army and was soon in
Mesopotamia.

LABOR MARKET
IN VERMONT
How the United States Employment
Service is Connecting the Man
With the Job

WIN Lac JOu
Burlington, Jan. although III a
few places there are a number of un-
employed at the present time in Ver-
mont, the total is small compared
with the number of men needed, ac-
cording to the statement of r. w.
Simonds, state industrial commissions
er, who was in Burlington to hold
some hearing. Mr.. Silnonds stated
that the lumber men in the state We're
anxious to do all they could this year
and the scarcity of labor was the
only thing which is holding them
back. The wages are big, ranging
all the way from $65 to S85 month
besides all expenses. This is straight
time.
In Rutland there is. a little let-up,
with perhaps couple of hundred
men out of work. In ST.. Johnsbury
there is another letAup with q lesser
number unemployed and those are
the only places where times are dull
outside of Burlington and WinoDski,
where the slack period is caused by
the temporary letting up of the AM
erican Woolen company's plant To
offset these few hundreds of unenl-
ployed there is need for Between
5000. and 5000 unskilled laborers,
with a keen demand for skilled labor
in some lines. Thus far the signing
of the arrnistice has hurt no one in
Vermont outside of the places NAM
ed. = The woods are not the only
places where men are needed. AS the
quarry operators have predicted right
along, the coming of peace has meant
business for them and men are need
ed badly in the quarries of the state
The output in them, as in the woods,
will depend on the amount of labor
which can be secured.
Between now and the first of
March will be the hardest period to
get over in the readj1stment Of
things, according to the view of Mr..
Simonds. After that there will be a
steady Improvement and by the first
of September Mr.. Simonds expects
ito see business in great shape not
only in Vermont but throughout the
country. From all he can learn in
consultation with other men in close
touch with industrial conditions bus
mess ought to be up to 30 per cent.
of its capacity by that time, and that
is great deal better than normal. In
ordinary pre-war days business was;
not much better than 60 per cent
most of the time. Mr. Simonds is al
SO optimistic regarding labor disturb
ances. He thinks that wages and
conditions viii adjust themselves nat
urally and easily.t Here and, there
may be a, few rough spots but these
viii be insignificant in comparison
with the country as a whole. .,s
Already many Vermorters have. re-
turned to their native state after
working outside where the high pric-
es of labor attracted them. These peo-
pic alt getting back into their old
| lines of work, and the. same is true
OF many of the returned soldiers.
| they are going back to the farms and
shops where they were before. and
taking up the ordinary course of
events without much trouble. Among
the soldiers who went from Vermont
there is large number of men who
are needed badly in industrial lines
at the present time, and there will be
little difficulty in securing emnlov.
ment for them.

LAWRENCE WALTER
WRITES HIS FATHER
Writes Home OH Fathers Day" oi
His Journey to France

Prvt. Lawrence Walter wrote his
father at st. Johnsbury Center the
following letter on Fathers day.:
My dear Dad:
We have just received word that
we can write home anything we want
Ito. We can tell where we are, what
we are doing and what places we
have been thru.
left Camp Upton on Oct 10, at II
lp. m. We hiked two miles to the sta
ton, and took the train for Long Is
Hand Station. From there by Ferry
to New York Harbor where VIC were
all examined before going on the
boat. Arsova was the name of the
lship and she was some ship, There
were three companies on board, and
my company slept down on main
deck No. 2. After we got started
came up on the top deck and slept
there three nights on the floor with
imy overcoat over me. The rest of the
time / slept down stairs in ham,
mockS.
There were 5000 on the boat and
SO, 900 in the whole convoy. We did
not see any submarines going over
and was glad of that. Our boat had
not made a trip for Is months, The
last time she was torpedoed. That
ibid not encourage me any when
found it out.
| We landed in England, Oct. 81, and
stayed on the boat till night. The
eleven long days coming over seemed
like six months to me. When we got
off the boat we put our little pack
on our backs that weighed about IS
Tbs, and hiked seven miles to rest
camp, and that was some hike. The
streets were wet and slippery and all
up hill We fell down just like kids
climbing those streets.
The camp was called "knotty Ash.
We stayed over night and the next
morning hiked back and took the
train to another camp, 800 miles dis
| ttanta in Winchester. We stayed here
two nights and one day and then
went TO South Hampton by train
where wettook the boat to cross the
English Channel We went on board
but waited till dark before starting,
as this, is the most dangerous place
! lof@ any, We landed in LIE Harve and
iwere here two days and one night.
When we left we went in box cars,
80 lin each car. There. was hardly
room to lie down or sit up. If you
| sat down you had to stay, because if
| you got up, the other fellow had
your place.
| From lie Harve we went to Blois,
France, after riding two nights and
one day. We stayed here two. days
and one night and slept in a brick
factory which was. a nice warm (?)
place-you could throw a dog thru
the roof anywhere.
! From Blois we. went to Orleans
| mot Orleans, Vt.D and from there
to Bourge5, and finally arrived in st.
Armand, where i am now. 1t is in
the central part of France.

ocean but was a little nervous when
we went thru the danger zone.
