Vatican Semi-O Official Organ
Thinks It Might Have
Been Simpler
POPE SUGGESTED
SUCH A PROJECT
AS Far Back as Aug. 1, 1917,
the Article Points
Out

Rome, Tuesday, March 1.-THE Osser-
vatore Romano, the semi-oflicial organ of
the Vatican, prints an article on the
league of nations, which is understood to
embody the viewpoints of the Holy See.
The setting up of an arbitration tTibu-
nal to solve international conflicts.
The formation of society of all civ
ilized nations, including those defeated
in the war, which will pledge themselves
to submit their differences to a tribunal
and accept its rulings,
The bringing about of an agreement
to declare an economic boycott against
any nation which refuses to submit con-
troversies to tribunal or which will not
accept decisions on matters which have
been so submitted.
In conclusion, the article recalls that
such a project was suggested in the
pope's appeal to belligerent nations on
Aug. l, 1917.

Mrs. Carr, who owns the O'Connor
block, and who recently purchased the
Charles Blodgett property at the cor
ner of South Main street and Weston
street, Is about making a very desirable
change in the appearance of the corner,
The barn which occupied a large lot is
being torn down, and the house win be
moved back, and q new block erected
on the front facing South Main street.
It is understood that in the block will
be theatre for moving pictures, which
Mrs. Brock has rented, and the rest of
the building will be utilized for apart
ments and offices. L. L. Sault and his
help are to have the job, and it is under
stood they are to begin work at once,
and as the season advances will push
the work forward rapidly. This change
will not only add to the general appear
ance of the street and corner, but viii
also make the block in which Mrs.
Carr now lives, much more desirable.

there was not minute during the whole
hours address in which he did not have
his audience with him.
General Edwards referred to the splen-
did reception given him in Barre during
the afternoon and he thanked the people
of Barre and vicinity in the name Of the
| stout hearted lads" of the 26th division,
/ He also paid tribute to a Nermonter,
I Major Taylor of the medical service,
who did wonders in Transforming the
ambulance service of the division. He
described the fortitude of the average
American soldier by relating an incident
in an American hospital which he visited,
Going up to a man who had hole shot
through his chest big enough for n man
to put his fist through General Edwards
asked the man how he was, and the man
replied: I'm not hurt much; I'll be out
within ten days"
Then to illustrate the respect which
the Germans had for the Goth, or Yankee
division he told about a conversation he
had with a German officer who had been
taken prisoner. After hemming and
having about for some time, this Ger
man asked if he might be privileged to
ask question which might or might
not be out of place "Shoot away" re-
piled General Edwards. And the German
officer suffered away and said; "W-w-
will you p-p-please t-t-tell NINE how
MN many 26th divisions there are in
the American army?"
General Edwards remarked at the
great pleasure it was for him to meet
the soldiers mothers, fathers, other rela-
tives and the girls who had an eye for
certain men in the American expedition
airy forces; and he marveled at the stoi-
cism which the fathers and mothers eX-
hibited. He said that his division had
10000 casualties, but "thank God, only
1000 dead and he wondered what kind
of a reception he would get when he
went before the home people. He said
he was always treasured when he was
told; "Thank God, you did all you could
to save my boy" "That spirit" declared
the speaker, was what made the Goth
division do what it did"
Turning to what the war has done for
the bows. the speaker said: you won't

; EDWARDS, STORY on THE 26TH
Was Told at the Barre Opera House in
the Evening.

A crowd which could not be wholly ac-
commodated in the building gathered in
front Of the opera house an hour before
the time for General Edwards to begin
speaking and when the doors were finally
opened there was a hard crush as the
people rushed to enter. Several police
men stood in the doorway and tried by
main strength to stop the jam, but to
little avail. 1t was nearly half an hour
before the jam could be untangled to an
extent that would permit of normal en-
trance.
Once in the building the crowd
swarmed all over the opera house, filing
auditorium, balcony, boxes, aisles and
rear of the auditorium and finally over
flowed onto the stage itself. There prob
ably never has been larger audience in
the building.
To accommodate those who could not
find standing room in the opera house,
an overflow meeting was held in How
land hall which was addressed by Cap
tain H. D. Sheldon of Fair Haven, who
was wounded in action and who returned
to the United States some months ago
There were about 100 persons in the au-
uleuCe winch llSLeHeu WIN close aJLen-
ton to Captain Sheldon's narration of
the stirring events of the war. The
speaker was introduced by Z. M. Tobiu,
a member of the local committee of ar
rangements,
The interior of the opera house was
attractively decorated with national col
ors, the Stars and Stripes and the flags
of our allies in the war, the whole max
ing a very pretty effect as well as fit
ting setting for the occasion. During
the short interval before the arrival of
General Edwards, Gilbertson's orchestra
played and the audience was on the qui
viye for the first appearance Of the SOL
der The minute the general appeared
he was given loud applause and when he
walked upon the stage the audience
stood and gave a prolonged ovation.
Seated on the stage were the members
of General Edwards party, military rep
resentatives of the state and Norwich
university, city officials, members of the
Board of Trade and soldiers and sailors,

know the boys when they get back. You
will find mere boys with the poise of
men of 80, with horizons that will sur
prise you, with wonderful appreciation
of American institutions"
God pity the balloon politicians when
the boys get back, If the politicians
aren't the real thing the boys will prick
them" He continued: Il believe they
will take dominating place in Amer
lean life; they will take a great inter-
est in the country. Their training has
made for better citizenship than any
thing else in the country. They are
magnificent"

the very beginning it helped her, and
now she is entirely well, and telling
everybody how much good it has done

Adams Street, Petersburg, Va.
If every girl who suffers as Miss
Wells did, or from irregularities, painful
periods, backache, sideache, dragging

would only give this famous root and
herb remedy a trial they would soon
find relief from such suffering.

fighting of the war. He was cheered
time and again and with unusual spon-
taneity. General Edwards is clear,
forceful speaker and is not without some
of the requisites of an orator although
his speciality is, of course, that of the
soldier. He gripped his audience strong
ly indeed when he portrayed the valor of
the Goth division in the Chateau Thierry
sector, where came the turning point of
the war during the summer of 1918; and

Some of the handicaps which the Goth
division had were related by their com.
mander, the man who organized them
into a division and then "sneaked them
out of the country and across the seas
before even the mothers knew where
their boys were. "Why, they were still
sending my mail to Charlotte, NC, five
days after / had landed in France" he
chuckled. On landing in France they
had no trucks adequate to carry their
food up to them, so the boys had to
march back where their food was. There
