RELEASE CAMP LEE
OEEICENS RAPIDLI

Every effort is being made ut all
times TO discharge I'll Camp Lee OIL
GERS who can be spared just as rapidly
as possible, according 20 statements Of
headquarters officials At Camp Lee to-
day. II is tho constant aim OF General
Bundy and his stan to discharge OIL
GERS as rapidly. as the burden OF pay
of a surplus officer Is evidently greater
than the pay Of several surplus enlist
ed men.
In discussing the present ratio OF
officers to men. which WAS one officer
TO Twenty-Five or twenty-five men In
the days OF training here. Colonel y.
W. Clcary. chief Of staff to General
Bundy. said:
"Of the l.36s officers now on duty at
Camp Lee. 593 are on duty at the in
tantry officers school az INSTRUCTORS
and students. and. therefore. are not
TO be considered on duty with troops
in the sense of comparing the demobi-
lization OF officers and enlisted men
from Camp Lee. The proportion OF
officers with the troops would. there
fore. be about one officer TO fifteen
enlisted men. Considering the nature
of the work At Camp Ice. which re-
Quircs a large number OF officers in
certain departments. this proportion
of officers to enlisted men is considered
a propfr one"
While this would leave 755 officers on
the list. those i'll or convaleScing would
still further reduce tho number Of
these on active duty. according to the
personnel office.

Italy,s New Parliament.

Whatever hope the Socialists in Italy
may have had of securing control Of
Parliament has been lost, at least for a
time, by the election yesterday of for.
mer Premier Orlando as president Of
the Italian Chamber of Deputies Or
lando, who was the candidate of the
Italian government, received PSI votes,
against l43 for Deputy Laggara, the
choice of the Socialists. The election
of Orlando makes a notable triumph
for the government forces, and indi-
Gates sharply the division that charac-
terizes the new Parliament. The oppo.
sition party in the Italian Parliament
will if it carries out its public profes.
sions, center its efforts on bringing into
Italy the political principles which now
rule soviet Russia.
If their organization continues un.
weakened, the Socialists in the Italian
Parliament will be a powerful factor
in determining the course of the ma
tional politics But signs of split as
to aims and policy have already ap-
peared. The bolshevist wing of the So
cialists, by their studied and planned
affront to King Emmanuel at the open
ing of Parliament, have alienated the
more moderate elements of the party.
And the Socialist deputy from Genoa,
professed bolshevist, will not convert

HE'LL BROOK, VT.
A Winter-Time Visit to 1t Described
BY James P. Taylor.

The Hell Brook region Of Mount
Mansfield was recently visited in winter
by James P Taylor of Burlington who
writes about the experience in the Bur
lington News as follows:
He'll Brook trail is at present an idea
He'll brook itself is living reality,
wicked enough for trail making TO de-
serve its name. This famous brook is
a Hands across the sea" greeting
sent through the woods and down the
precipices by the Lake of the Clouds
on Mount Mansfield to the Great spring
in Smugglers' Notch The stream Just
escapes being a mountain high cascade !;
for its falling, bounding spray strikes
the mountain side only here and there.
After their mad fortissimo plunge from
the heights its waters have as much
interest and character as do the waters
Of the Great spring which pour in a
cool andante from the mysterious re-
cesses of Sterling mountain,
To follow the course of Hell brook
with trail will be an adventure as
arduous as il is beautiful, as beautiful
as it is arduous. This ascent will make
valley folk weep for want Of an eleya.
tor Mountain folk viii greet ii with
cheer All who, protesting, cry aloud
that the automobile road now being
constructed through Smugglers Notch
and on TO Jacksonville means that the
sanctities OF the Notch will be pro-
famed by the Decorating presence of
multitudes OF automobiles who do
not care enough about mountain beau.

tain enthusiasts may know that the
etiete aristoeracy OF the automobile can
appear on the Hell brook trail only al
departed spirits, He'll brook trail, like
tracing on a granite shaft, will be as
automobile proof proof against the
machines, proof against the mere ma
chinists rs even the shade Of Joseph
Battell could passionate.
Nothing could have been more appro-
pirate than that three projectors Of this
trail should begin a survey Of its pos
sible course on a December day when
the perpendicular valley Of He'll brook
was buried deep in snow, when speedy
polar breeze threatened TO complete the
utter opening up of the landscape by
tearing off the leaves even OF the
spruces Nothing could have been more
fitting than that this trio should have
reached Stowe the night before over a
landscape which was brown and gritty.
and deluged, as their chariot OF democ-
racy ground its way through the soaked
gravel.
But like all martyrs they had their
reward A brown, gritty, rainy even.
ing was followed by a lustrous white,
smoothly soft, a windy, sunny. snowy
day when the walls of the Notch rose
in a majesty unknown to summer,
when unconcealed by foliage, great
cliffs looked down in cold austerity,
and the picturesque boulders BY the
roadside seemed TO crowd in with
friendly curiosity to watch the proud
but solitary procession OF trail makers
pass by in triumph. Three men now
know as never before, that winter de
luxe is to be found, not on Church
street, not on South Willard, but in the
heart Of Mount Mansfield on a snowy
December day
