GERS and men, authorized by the Natlon-
al Defense Act, have been issued by the
War Department. The announcement
was accepted here to mean that definite
plans had been drawn to withdraw prac-
forces before many weeks.
The number of men necessary to gar
rison domestic ports and the defense Of
the insular possessions would be almost
the total Of the authorized peace-time to-
tai.
BY September 30 all officers Of the Reg
ular Army must be returned to their per-
manent grades and officers holding COM
missions only for the emergency, includ-
ing applicants for permanent appoint
ment must be discharged.
The National Defense Act authorized
1493 officers and men for the line and
GO, s15 for the staff corps and departments.
A reduction of the military establishment
to these figures would be 100000 men be-
low the strength authorized in the 1920
army bill, but officials explained this re-
duction would be necessary to compensate
for the heavy excess now existing over
the authorized total.
Latest figures on the strength of the
army show that there are about 800 900
men and $500 officers under arms To
reduce this to 10 1858 officers and POI 045 men
in two months will require almost SUPER
human efforts, military experts said

TO MAKE FLIGHT ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

for he had no duties to perform on the
way across except to keep the ships log
He said he had slept we'll and he had
taken time to shave. He wore an officers
cap, "a topcoat, wooden breeches and felt
shoes. His only regret seemed to be that
the R-3i had caused anxiety by send
ing out the wireless call saying asss-
lance might be needed.
Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lans-
downe, the American observer on board
the RIA, looked almost as haggard az
Major Scott whom he had assisted all
the way across. The same was true Of
the other five officers and the % men
of the crew.
WEATHER WAS TERRIBLE
Last night the weather was terrible
It seemed as though the atmosphere was
haunted by 5000 devils and we were
shaken to the core. The ship seemed as
though she was going to break into hits,
rising and falling like a cork on a heavy
sea. At times believe she stood up
80 degrees into the air. l didn't get n
bit of sleep last night-in fact, none of
us did. I don't believe slept more
than ~ hours on the entire trip.
II have had a rather extensive expert
ence with weather conditions on the
Atlantic and expected bad weather, but
never thought that it would be as bad
ms 1t was. The most unusual thing I be-
lieve, was the extreme violence of the
bumps in regions where they were totally
unexpected Usually with bunny
weather we expect a certain amount of
clouds, but last night we got the most
violent bumps at points where there were
no clouds at all.
"The weather situation on the Atlantic
must be investigated very thoroughly
before trans-oceanic travel between
England and America can be made safe
and practicable. With the limited infor-
nation as to weather conditions that we
have now. trans Atlantic travel is
highly dangerous. l consider it almost
miracle that we completed this trip
successfully after what we went through
last night"

the total cost will be between $500 and
1925. Miss Nadine Hinsdale, aged 81, the
daughter of Emerson Hinsdale. will
have charge of the work. assisted by
corps of other young ladies from the
community.
While the kitchen is located in Hines
burg, it is the intention OF the manage
ment TO handle canning work from the
other towns in the county. All that is
necessary to have vegetables canned is
for the housewife to bring the vege-
tables to the kitchen with the glass pre-
serving Jars, the clamp cover style, not
the screw top style, and leave them
there. The kitchen corps will prepare the
vegetables for canning, pack them in the
cans and charge five cents per pint,
seven cents per quart and ten cents for
"A two-quart jar for the work, The kit
chen will furnish the rubbers for the
Jars at one cent each this being done
to insure the proper sealing. The work
will be guaranteed to be done in salts
factory manner and the kitchen solicits
business from one and all. This scheme
will relieve the farmers wives of all
the drudgery of canning in the hot
weather, when her services are usually
needed in a score of other ways.

STUNTS IN THE AIR
Army Aviator VIII Fly Curtiss Plane
mt Vermont state Fair

Lieut.. John G. Lynch, one of the
famous air men in the aviation service
of the United States army. has been
secured for a leading attraction at the
Vermont State fair at White River
Junction September g. 10, II and -.
Lieutenant Lynch's record as bird
man stands out conspicuously for skill
and daring. He will execute altitude
climbing. loop-the loops, tail spinning,
nose dives, Immelmann spins and the
falling leaf. What adds decided inter-
est to this event is that Lieutenant
Lynch is Vermonter. He will reach
the fair grounds by flight from head
quarters on the opening day of the
fair. Tuesday, the 10th. Every oppor-
tunity will be given the visitors to the
fair to inspect the machine. which is
one of the largest and highest powered
made by the Curtiss people.
Work on all the buildings in get
ting them into thorough shape for the
fair is progressing finely and both
grounds and buildings will be in the
best of shape for exhibition purposes
long before the fair dates. To the
dairy building an addition of so feet
is being made to accommodate the
agricultural extension service exhibit
and the display of pictures and litera-
ture to be made by the publicity de-
partment of the State.
The amusement feature event will
include a big carnival company whose
shows will be located on the midway,
and on Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings the grounds will be opened to
the public and electric lighted with
these shows running full swing. 1t
has long been the desire of the State
fair commission to provide evening
amusement for the public and the OPP
porutnity having occurred. advantage is
being taken of it. The dance pavilion
also viii be open to the public on these
evenings.
In all agricultural departments en-
tries are being received at the office
of Secretary Davis in large numbers
daily and there is every reason for
predicting the largest exhibits ever
seen upon the Vermont State fair
grounds
