OFFICERS CORPS
is DOUBTFUL NOW

Captain Clarence E. Ferguson ar
rived in Middlebury this week from
Hamilton College to become Professor
OF Military Science and Tactics for the
Reserve Officers Corps which it had
been proposed to establish here fol-
lowing the disbandment of the Stu
dents Army Training Corps. 1t is,
however, considered doubtful that the
plans for the corps will be carried out.
With the war over, the students have
little incentive for further military
training and many of them who have
been in service or in the s. A. T. c.
feel that they have already made all
the inroads which they wish to make
into their academic work While moth
ing has been decided, The Register
learned yesterday from Acting Presi-
dent Collins that it is doubtful whether
the r. o. 7. c. would be organized
The faculty are not disposed to make
it compulsory, and the college has not
gone so far in committing itself in the
matter that it cannot give up the idea
if majority of the men do not favor
it.
The attendance at the college is now
over 300, a slightly larger number than
was registered last year, indicating that
normal conditions are approaching
and life on the hill is again spirited
Fraternity dances and other activities
are being resumed, and interclass ath-
letics among both the men and women
are receiving attention

FATAL ENDING OF
PRETTY ROMANCE

Middlebury has apparently settled
down to an all-winter siege with intiu-
enza. Though it is not gaining ground,
scattered cases are numerous, and one
of them this week was fatal.
A particularly sad case is the death
of Mrs. Tony Mallie, the young wife
of an Italian employee of the Vermont
Marble Company Manager Reynolds
at the company's Office says that all OF
the Mallies, three of the brothers have
worked for the company here have
been the most reliable men at the
plant.
Tony six years ago went to Italy hop
ing to bring back to Middlebury the
pride of his heart, Giorgina Argosta, a
little dark-eyed girl who lived on a
farm adjoining his fathers place in
Italy. The girls parents would not let
her leave home then Tony came back
empty handed and waited. Two years
later he went to Italy again, and so con-
vinced her parents of his earnestness,
that they let the girl go back to Amer
ica with him.
. They had lately lived in part OF the
little marble building opposite the Mid
dlebury Railroad station used as the
company's office. They had three ba-
bies the eldest of which is only four,
and the wife was known to manager

MIDD'S HIGHEST
RANKING OFFICER

A pretty story of the farewell which
American troops under General Ste
phen M. Foote took from the French
town of Clermont is related in a
French newspaper, received this week
by The Register, from which transla-
ton is made for us by the courtesy
OF Professor Duane L. Robinson of
the college Special interest is due from
Middlebury to the occasion, as Cen
eral Foote is Midd's highest ranking
officer in the war, so far as known to
us He prepared for college at Beeman
Academy in New Haven, and after one
year in college here, he entered West
Point Military Academy in 1884 and
became later one of the most distin-
guished officers of the artillery corps
and an author of several books on
military matters. In the present or
shall it be called recent war he has
been in command of the l63rd artillery
brigade of the American Expedition
airy Forces.
The article in the French newspaper
aside from its references to General
Foote, is typical of the fervent feeling
the French people have entertained
toward our soldiers, and The Register
reproduces the article in full:

VILLAGE ELMS
WILL BE SAVED

AS a result of action taken at the
annual meeting of Middlebury vii
lage on Wednesday evening, it appears
certain that another summer will see
! big offensive undertaken against the
elm-leaf beetle which last year worked
havoc with the principal shade trees
of the village
| Through the initiative of DR.. P. E.
Mellen, Superintendent of Parks the
voters had the privilege of hearing Har-
old Bailey, who is in charge of insect
suppression for the state Department
of Agriculture, describe the pest. Mr..
Bailey said that Middlebury was the
most northerly point which the elm
leaf beetle had yet attacked since its
arrival at New York from Europe back
in the early seventies. On the eastern
side of the state it had not reached
further north than Windsor, but it had
caused much trouble in Brattleboro
and Bennington.
Thoroughly familiar with the pest,
Mr.. Bailey said Middlebury should not
minimize the real danger it confronted,
for neglect surely meant the ruination
of many if not all of the beautiful elms,
or at least it would put the trees in
such a low state of resistance that
many of the other more common
pests. such as the canker worm, could
easily complete the destruction. He

and Bennington had had with spray

DAN MASON SEES
WILSON IN PARIS

There is bit of contrast between the
life at Old Midd and that of the French
capital, but Dan Mason seems to hold
his own, in everything but weight,
amid the distractions of 'gay Paree".
In some of Lis recent letters he dis
closes that he has lost some of the
1874 pounds" with which he was cred
tied in his class Kaleidoscope, but has
taken on quite bit of experience that
has included not only glimpses of kings
and queens and presidents, but even
closer acquaintance with the Partisan
girls, confessing even to having danced
a ring around the rosy" and ex-
changed kisses with them in the streets
of the world s gayest town when they
celebrated the signing of the armistce.
At its own solicitation, The Register
has been privileged to review a re-
markably interesting series of letters
which have been received from him by
his mother, Mrs. Maud o. Mason, the
popular matron of Hepburn Hall. Uni
formly, the letters have been CHEEKY
with Sergt. Dams unlaggng interest in
the particular work to which he was as
signed in the Chemical Warfare Re-
search Laboratory in Paris.
At the outset there is a good joke
on Dan, in view of the fact that in a
letter on December II he absent
mindedly wrote that Paris was on tip
toes awaiting the arrival of president
Thomas" and that a three day holi-
day had been declared 1t turned out
further on in his letter that Mason had
reference to President Wilson, and that
he had hand in welcoming him to
Paris.

COUNTY RESPONDING
TO NEAR EAST CALL

The S30O000O0 drive of the Ameri-
can Committee for Relief in the Near
East was launched in Addison County
Monday morning with every town i'll
the County organized for the purpose.
From reports received up to today;
every town but one in the County had
begun the work of soliciting funds and
several towns have already completed
their quotas.
Vergennes was the first town to be
heard from and on Monday reported
the pledging of $500, which exceeds
their apportionment The town Of
Leicester has doubled its quota.
The local Red Cross chapters in sew
eral of the towns have generously come
to the aid of the drive with money
from their treasures and will either
meet the full quota for their respective
towns or make a contribution sufficient
to assure the raising OF the quota.
Thus the first reports received are ia
vorable. indicating that before the drive
is fairly under way, over one-third OF
the County quota has been raised.
The object to which the funds Of the
drive are to be devoted-the relief Of
millions of women and children from
iminent starvation,-is so definite and
concrete. and the need of the sufferers
is so urgent, that it is readily enlisting
the sympathies and contributions Of
people generally.
Prof. Hartman Of the Middlebury
High School is cooperating in the drive
by bringing the Armenian-Syrian cause
to the attention of the students and
enlsting their contributions.

ulty Of Middlebury College was started

BENTLEY ELECTED
VILLAGE TRUSTEE

Aside from the declaration of war on
the elm-le beetle, which took up most
of the time of the village meeting
Wednesday evening, there was the an
nual election of village officers There
were about $50 or 200 voters present,
and. in contrast with last year, there
were only half a dozen women there.
Judge Weeks was moderator; Joseph
M. Burke clerk The annual reports
were accepted On the question of tax
es, John A. Fletcher moved that 20
cents on the dollar be voted for street
work, and thought, in view of the elm
beetle expense, that the auditors es-
innate of 55-cent tax for village eX-
penses ought to be raised by ten cents.
Judge Button, however, thought that
55 cents would cover the situation ii
the 5000 usually appropriated for oil
ing the streets was not used in that
way next summer, and the motion to
stick by the 55-cent estimate was
carried
DR.. P. L. Dorey, when the election Of
trustees came up made compliment
airy speech and his motion was carried
for the reelection of the old board, as
follows: Willis N Cady, J. Lucius
Buttolph, Arthur N. Brown, John A.
Fletcher, Phillip E Mellen Peter ].
Hincks and Isaac Lavonche, Jr. The
latter, who was unable to be present,
had sent word by Judge Weeks that
he desired to be excused from serving
another year, and the meeting voted to
grant that request. To fill the vacancy
thus caused, W F Bentley was elected
the only new member of the board for
this year.
The board of water commissioners
for next wear is considerably changed.
George N. Shambo remains as the SEN
ior member of the board for another
wear. c. c. Wells resigned, and P. n.
SWEET, who resigned some time ago
was again nominated, but said he
could not serve. Accordingly James o.
Howarth was named by Mr.. SWEET,
who declared that Mr. Howarth was
"a valuable find" for the village and
said he had done remarkably good
work the brief time he had recently
served with the board Mr.. Howarth
was elected for three years, and W E.
Clement for two years.
c. E. Pnney was reelected village
treasurer, and George F. Kidder, Jr,,
chief of the fire department, without
opposition. R. F. Pinney and c. c.
Wells were elected auditors.

Lights for Surgery.

The discovery that pune red light
is complementary to the greenish yell
low of the Horoscope, so that each
makes the eye more sensitive to the
others has made possible the use Of
X-rays during surgical operation,
without danger to the surgeons.
In the past it was necessary for the
surgeon to work with his hands ex-
posed to the baneful influence of the
rays, and also with a mere shadowy
light of the rays themselves to work
by. Now it has been found,
through the experiments of a French
surgeon, that operating with u bright
red light alternating with the Mays
makes the operation itself easier, and
also the alternating lights make the
eyes especially sensitive, so that the
most delicate and minor details of the
X-ray shadows seem clear.

Whatever may be the fate Of the
cape for daytime wear its reign Is
not over nor the end Of it In sight, In
the realm Of evening wraps. Just as
we begin to wonder if it will not have
to abdicate in favor Of something more
novel, along comes some such COM
polling and cOnquering example OF 1t,
as that pictured above, and we join
the ranks Of its devOtees and renew
our loyalty at once. This wrap really
deserves to be called gorgeous. 1t will
prove a JOY to its wearer, for it has
all the qualities that will win her the
admiration of those who have fine
sense of clothes.
It requires the sheen and body of
heavy silk to get the character of this
wrap, and it is made Of taffeta, and
plenty of ii. 1t is gathered, with
close rows of fine shlrrings, with all
possible fuIIness into deep yoke and
into three flounces at the bottom. The
yoke Is rich with bold leaf and flower
designs In silk and metal threads, and
the work in embroidery and shirrings
Is beautifully done. Such wrap
matches up well with the big, beauti-
full fan of ostrich feathers carried with
it, and demands something unusual
and lovely in the couture. Certain OF
the darker shades in warm colors make
the best choice for this cape, or black
