Such l.: the brief sketch of the first
citizen of ST. Johnsbury whom all in
town, young and old, have loved and
revered in the long time that he has
been actively interested in our af-
fairs. Few men have given more of
their life to the community and he
touched life in variety of ways. AS
a public speaker none could excel him
in vivacity ororiginality; as a preach
er his beautiful language and depth
of religious thought had magnetic
influence; a; an educator and librar-
ian he brought to his work love for
it that Inspired all who came in con-
tact with him; as citizen he repre-
scented the best in citizenship, fear
lessly standing for the highest ideals
in the community which now mourns
his loss.

For several months, while the
armies of France, Great Britain and
America were delivering furious
blows against their Teutonio oppo-
nents and forcing them to retire on
the Western front; while Allenby was
advancing with his eonquering army
in Mesopotamia and dEsperey was
pushing to the wall the Bulgarians
and forcing them to surrender; the
Italian army was waiting arTne au
pied, the opportunity to attack the
Austrian army, destroy it and, with
it, the old edifice of the Hapsburg
dynasty,
Fifty-one Italian divisions, three
British, two French, a contingent Of
C2echo-Slovaks and one regiment of
Americans composed the army under
the orders of General Armando Diaz,
Chief of Staff of the Italian army.
On the night from the oath to the
25th of October, General Diaz gave
the order to begin the series of mill
tary operations which, in the sue
ceeding days. extended from the
Brenta to the sea. This. that may
be called the battle of Venetia, not
only liberated the invaded Italian ter
ritory, but caused the complete rout
Of the formidable Austrian army,
stronger than the Italian by nearly
ten divisions.
Thus, on the anniversary of the
retreat from Caporetti, was won one
of the most sensational and spectacu-
lar battles of the war--the battle
that carried the flag of Italy to Trento
and Trieste. The capitulation OF Ger
many followed that of Austria, and
the claim maintained for three years
by the Italian military authorities
that the Italian front was tho place
to end the war was abundantiy
proved by the facts,

riedly sent to Italy and, while the
Italians were battling to hold the
Piaye, another line of defense was
established back of them at the
Adige River, for an eVentuality that
fortunately did not come to pass.
For the Italians held the Piave
line. They held it first unaided !;
then, when the necessity for holding
the Adige line disappeared, when
Venice appeared safe, the British and
French achievements took part Of
the Italian front
Plainly, the Austro- German forces
that had invaded Italy had fallen
short Of their purpose. 1t was not

that they wanted, it was not a tenn
porary retreat of the Italian army,

Their plaI was to eliminate Italy as a
lighting Actor and to open another
way to France.
Thus, on June is, 1918, the Aus
tro-Germans launched a great offen-
sive against the Italians along a front
of ninety-seven miles, from the Ash
age plateau TO the sea.
The offensive proved q disastrous
failure, The Italians stated officially
that they had taken $4,000 prisoners
in their counter-attacks. with a vast
amount of booty, besides INJECTING
casualties in killed and wounded to
the enormous total of 100000.
The pressure against the Austrian
lines continued with uDabated vigor
from June 25 to July s, when the
browning triumph of the Italian re-
sistance was achieved The Aus
TRANS were driven from the delta Of
the Piaye, the menace to Venice dis
appeared, and the fatidio cry of the
heroes of Nerdun, They shall not

made by the railroad administration
without in any way consulting the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr..
Fordney said the information that came
TO him was from gentleman who went
to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and was informed by members of
the commission that they were not con-
suited
MIR. Fordney was asked if he knew
what reasons were advanced by the i'm
porters in support of their claims for
freight discrimination in their favor.
He said he did not, and added:
The importer is always in favor of
free trade on an imported article that
competes with like article in this
country. Therefore this concession
is made for the purpose of obtaining
foreign made goods at a lower price
than has obtained heretofore.
Asked again by Representative But
ler, Republican, of Pennsylvania, if the
Railroad Administration had given no
reason for this discrimination, Mr..
Fordney replied:
"No, except that the Railroad Ad-
ministration says, we are operating in
the interests of the railroads, and if
you want any other excuse, that of
protection or otherwise, go to Congress
and get it and do not come to u.s."
In response to questions, Mr.. Ford.
ney said the reduction in freight rates
do not apply to goods transported
from the Atlantic Coast westward.
