GERMAN PRISONS

taken care of, and in the meantime
questioned them about the operations
of the Americans. The Yankee boys
refused to give up anything of military
value, or in fact to say anything about
the American lines, but they discovered
that after they had returned to the
privacy of their own prison wards their
conversations among themselves were
heard by the Germans through the en-
ployment of dictaphones that were con-
cealed in the walls.
In this large camp HER learned first
how to wear wooden shoes and undergo
a good many hardships of prison fare.
He says that one never knew just when
they would get "biffed" by some Off
cious prison guard, and that this rough
treatment seemed very often to be in
vogue when the prisoners were endeav-
oring to conduct themselves as properly
as could be. Some of the Americans
who tried to escape were given hard
labor with penalty of going without
their meals if certain amount of work
were not accomplished. Hier after six
weeks at Darmstadt was given an OPP
portunity to make his choice of several
jobs, and he decided to enter a paper
mill at Armsburg, place where both
newsprint and writing papers were
manufactured and where about 20
prisoners were employed He was fair
ly we'll treated here but had to give up
the work on account of affection with
sores, which he always felt might have
originated from the incubation with
which the prisoners treated all of the
Americans when they were in camp.
Eleven days after the armistice was
signed HER and his comrades were re-
leased, and about 30 of them were sent
to Metz where they met the French
who were occupying the town and
found the Americans in possession of the
fortress. Here the American Red
Cross greeted the returning prisoners,
and HER says he will never forget the
good work which these agents did
among the prisoners.
HER, after the usual process of dis
charge at Camp Devens, expects to re-
turn to his home in Bristol, and posi-
bly, resume position as barber which
business he followed before his enlist
ment.

brought to Mddlebury last week
Thursday afternoon by Deputy Henry
E. Jennett, having been arrested on
warrant charging him with burglarizlng
the store of Harry Hubbard OF Gran

articles to the value Of $50.

wears in the state prison at Windsor
Woodland, who has led wild life in
Granville, is under 20 years old and
lives alone in an old shanty. The night
of the burglary there had been light
fall of snow and Woodland was easily
tracked by the sheriff from the scene
of the burglary to the shanty in which
he lives.
When taken by the officer he was in
bedroom under a bed and armed
with a rifle. He was enticed to come
out on the pretext of signing listers
inventory blank He left his gun I'M
der the bed and while in another room
the officer managed to get him. In
many cases when the officers have tried
to capture him he has fled to the noun

Mr.. Woodbury's Lectures

When, some weeks ago, Acting Presi-
dent Collins announced that he had
engaged Mr. Charles Woodbury. OF
Oakland, Calf, to give one or more
lectures on Emerson and the Concord
group of literary men, although the
lecturer was Endorsed by several col
lege presidents, there was some unCer-
tainty on the hill as to the personality
of the speaker and the interest that he
might give the subject. But when Mr..
Woodbury. began the first of his three
informal talks in the chapel last Fri
day evening, his audience were quick
to recognize the spell of the speaker,
and his unusual and unexpected know
ledge of the people Of whom he spoke.
If Mr.. Woodbury. were merely an adj
mirer and interpreter of Emerson,
Thoreau, Louisa, Alcott, and her phil
osophical father, his genial manner and
fecility of expression would have given
pleasure, but in addition his intimate
association with Mr. Emerson covering
several years has given him a fund of
personal, first hand "reminiscences such
as few men now living have-none, per
haps, who are before the public The
young people present could hardly fail
to consider themselves fortunate to be
so linked to the brightest spot in liter
arv life of New England On Saturday
morning in the old chapel two classes in
English literature and others who could
do so, assembled for the second talk
of the series, on Emerson's Methods of
Study and Composition. Anecdotes
were given illustrating the charm of the
man as well as the greatness of the
poet and essayist. So that when for
the third time lecture was announced
on Monday morning, the old chapel
was crowded to hear what perhaps
no other man could tell, Of Emerson's
critical estimates of books-of the
Bible, Geo. Borrow, Byron, Goethe,
Bacon, Milton, Carlyle, Jane Austen,
and MANY estimates and opin-
ions that Mr.. Woodbury., then an en-
thusiastic Amherst collegian had heard
and taken down in writing with a
painstaking zeal worthy Of New Eng
land Boswell
Besides Century Articles on Emer-
son Talks With a College Boy Mr.
Woodbury. has published Talks With
Emerson. DR.. Collins made no mis-
take in bringing from so far this unio"~
lecturer. who now returning to Califor
MIA. will address three other colleges
on his way.

For the Square Deal: Charles A.

he owes the local product to his
own town customers and at price
regulated by cost and not boost

inaugurating the idea of a district
nurse and working hard to raise
funds for this purpose.
For Village Improvement: Leon

his property on South Main St,
near the high school, will do much
toward identifying that locality.
For Conspicuous Bravery: The
Register, for having mentioned
these few candidates for the honor
roll and having left others unac-

ON THE SURFACE

Discussion of the oil or water prob
lem of dust laying is still left open.
The special village meeting came TO
the indecisive conclusion of appoint
ing committees to consider both meas
ures. The Register is hopeful that what
ever solution is finally deemed by the
voters as most desirable will be speed
ilv put into practice in order to avoid
the intolerable condition which already
threatens.
1t is neither oil nor water that needs
the most consideration. 1t is the dust
itself and the simplest and most ef-
fective remedy at this season of the
wear is a thorough scraping and sweep
ing and carting away of the surface
dust-a form of pulverized filth that
is a serious menace to health and com
fort. Added to the scraping and sweep
ing, there should be regular flushing
of the paved streets on Main street
a real hydraulic scrubbing. Street
Commissioner McClinchey should be
provided with all the necessary help
and funds for this super cleanup every
spring, and it should be thorough
enough to give Middlebury place on the
honor roll of spotless and dustless
towns.
Good results with neither oil nor wa
ter are obtained until after the surface
dust has been gathered. The eXper-
fence of other towns should not be
lost sight of in Middlebury, and though
The Register is in no sense an agent OF
an oil company it believes that both
economy and effectiveness are in sup
port of the oil proposition, if the lat
ter be properly applied
Among the Vermont towns which are
known to have subscribed this year to
the oiling plan, and most OF them bas-
ing their judgment on previous eXper-
fence with oil, are Burlington, Rutland,
Ludlow, Chester, Bellows Falls, Brat
tleboro, White River Junction, Mont
pelier, Barre, St. Johnsbury, Benning-
ton and Manchester. In half dozen
of these places they have voted for two
applications of oil Even two applca-
lions of oil, it is believed, would be a
far less expense for Middlebury than
the purchase of a truck for combina
ton use as sprinkler and gravel carter.
A high tonnage truck would be neces-
sary for such a combination, probably
costing in the vicinity OF $500. The
upkeep and the labor cost of almost
daily use in the summer would add
tremendously to the expense, and there
would be the additional problem OF in
stalling an apparatus to pump the wa
ter from the Otter Creek.

Postmaster General Burleson in a
statement issued Wednesday night as
serted that an organized propaganda
of criticism had been inaugurated in
an effort to destroy him and thereby
to aid in bringing about the repeal Of
the zone postal law which increased sec
ond-class rates. The absurdity of this, in
at least one respect, is evident when it
is considered that the country news
papers, which are favored by this zone
postal law. have been just as strong
critics of Mr.. Burleson as the national
magazines and metropolitan newspa-
pers.

Two Committees Named


Two Committees Named
Judge c. l. Button moved that the
village should provide itself with an
adequate sprinkler and pump the wa
ter for its purposes from Otter Creek.
Mr.. Sturtevant amended this motion
by suggesting that the auto truck which
carried the sprinkler should be OF that
convertible type (which he understood
was on the market that could also be
used for carting gravel-and thus not
only water the streets but manage to
put some dirt in the roads when needed.
1t was ruled that this special meeting
had no authority to vote the village
into this special expense, since this had
not been provided in the warning. 1t
was agreed therefore that the motion
should be to appoint committee to
investigate the purchase of such a
truck as Mr. Sturtevant had suggested
and report at a later village meeting
The chair appointed Mr.. Sturtevant.
Mr.. Charles E. Pinney and Mr.. Rich.
Mr.. Pinney asked leave to be excused
and Frank J. Hubbard was appointe.
as third member
1t had thus been apparently settled
that water was to be the desired ele-
ment for the streets this summer, but
George n Shambo, who had arrived
late at the meeting and had not heard
all of the previous discussion brought
the issue up again with a motion that
a committee also be appointed to re-
port on the matter of oiling the streets.
The chair appointed Mr.. Shambo, Ed
ward Higgins and Carl o. Frost

SOLDIERS VS.. POLITICIANS.


In striking contrast to the sensa-
tional charges made by professional
politicians, yellow journalists and
muck rakers about the terrible mis-
treatment of our soldiers, is the plain,
frank, and evidently truthful state
ment made by Lewiston soldiers who
have returned from France. The
story published elsewhere in this is
sue, will be of interest to every par
ent who had a boy in France. The
Lewiston correspondent says:
sThe view of the Lewiston boys is
that the United States may well be
proud of the wonderful organizations
effected in France to facilitate the
maintenance of the armies. The stor-
age, the transport organization, the
replacement plan and many other in
novations introduced were in every
way far superior to anything the al
lies had ever attempted"
Doesn't that sound like an Ameri-
can soldier? That is the talk that
comes from the boys who went
zcross and fought for you and | who
remained at home. They are proud
of their own deeds, but modestly re-
frain from saying so, but they I'M
hesitatingly praise the government
that backed them and show the true
American spirit when they declare
that in every respect the United
States war department was better or
ganized and secured better results
than that of any of the allies, despite
the fact that the latter had been in
the war three years before the United
States started
Whom are we to believe, these
brave, noble, American soldiers who
fought for freedom or the petty poll
ticians, who stayed at home and
found fault with everything done by
this government, criticised, belittled
and retarded our war department and
now try to create a scandal by de- !
claring our boys were mistreated? |
We are American enough to take the |
word of the soldier boys, who made
good" and did their duty cover there"
"The criticisms are the result of
a desire to make political capital out
of something that does not exist" is
the way the soldier boys of Company
f, Idaho boys from our neighboring
county, put it, These boys were at
Brest, the place that some of our
politicians have termed "hell-hole"
and they say conditions there are
good and that "the men who have
been responsible for the Brest criti-
cisms will be called to account for
their charges"
The politicians do not seem to real
IKE that in making these attacks they
are attacking the boys who fought,
but the boys realize it and when they
get home the politicians of all parties
who have maligned them and the Of
ficers they love and under whom they
fought will hear from them in no
uncertain terms
