fact of the presence of so many idle

The men most affected by the short

are those living outside New Eng

of whether they can get railroad

EAST BARNET MAN
HEADED FOR AMERICA

David Royal Warden of East Bar
net, VT, and until recently a student
atA the Norwich University, North
field, VITA, sailed on the steamship
l"Pensacola" for Constantinople with
large party of relief workers under
the direction of the American Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East.
Accompanying Mr.. Warden on the
Pensacola" were a number of form
er army officers and enlisted men of
the United States army, including avi
! ators, who having seen service with
the colors, desire to take part in the
reconstruction work which the Amer
lean Committee for Relief in the Near
East is carrying on among the 4,000,-
600 suffering people in Armenia, Per-
sia, Syria and Palestine The three:
years of military training which Mr..
Warden has had at Norwich Univer-
sity and the active serTie which his
associates on the Pensacola" have
seen is to be turned to good account
by the committee in it's campaign
against famine and destitution in
Western Asia. Most of the men who
sailed with Mr.. Warden are young
and athletic and all are well fitted to
tackle the big problems that are to
be found in Western Asia right now.
Like the other men of the "Pensa-
cola" Mr.. Warden has volunteered his
services to the committee and will re-
main abroad for at least year. The
committee is sending to Constaninople
and other ports in Asia Minor vast
quantities of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies. Scores of motor trucks,
|ambulances and automobiles also are
being despatched to the committee to
be used in the transportation of these
materials throughout Asia Minor. Mr..
Warden will take a hand at driving a
relief truck and other jobs that may
come up in the course of the cam
paign in Armenia and Syria.
To finance the relief work in
Western Asia the American Commit
tee for Relief in the Near East is col
lecting $30,000,000 throughout the
United States.
Mr.. Warden was educated at the
st. Johnsbury Academy before going
to Norwich University.
Shortly before the Pensacola"
sailed Mr.. Warden stated he had join
ed the ranks of the Relief workers be-
cause he desired to help out people

Paris, Jan. 26-"The belief is ex-

the preliminaries for peace will be
finished and ready for submission to
the French Chamber between March

sion. "Speed seems to have charac-
terized the second full session of the

With much of the final machinery
in motion and with Mr.. Clemenceau,
the premier, insisting on business,
other observers express the belief
that on the whole the peace confer
ence is moving according to schedule.
The announcement Of the personnel
Of the various important committees
has added considerably to the belief
in the working power of the confer
ence. Some of the newspapers in
commenting on the regularity with
which yesterdays session moved, say
that it seemed as if the routine had
been well rehearsed.
"A IA number of the newspapers today
pay tribute to President Wilson's

AT THE PEACE TABLE
By Edgar A. Guest

Who shall sit at the table,
then when terms of peace
are made
The wisest men of the troubled
lands in their silver and
gold brocade? .
Yes, they shall gather ins sol
emn state to speak for each
living race,
But who shall speak for the
unseen dead that shall
come to the council place?
Tho you see them not and you
hear them not, they shall sit
at the table, too;
They shall throng the room
where the peace is made
and know what it is to do;
The innocent dead from the
sea shall rise to stand at the
wise mans side,
And over his shoulder a boy
shall look-a boy that was
crucifed.
You may guard the doors of
that council hall with bar
riers strong and stout,
But the dead unbidden shall
enter there, and never you'll
shut them out.
And the man that died in the
open boat, and the babes
. that suffered worse,
Shall sit at the table when
peace is made by the side of
martyred nurse.
You may see them not, but
they'll all be there; when
they speak you may fail to
hear;
: You may think that you're
making your pacts alone, but
their spirits will hover near:
And whatever the terms of the
peace you make with the
tyrant whose hands are red,
You must please not only the
living here, but must satisfy
your dead.

The South San Antonio paper OF

about the young man who has scores
of friends in this community:
Lieut.. Raymond F. Sherburne has
been named as successor to Lieut..
Nathan Malefski as athletic officer
of Kelly Field. Lieut.. Malefsh ex-
poets to proceed to his home In

summer, before he was commissioned,
he took prominent partin the athlet-
les of the aviation field, meeting and
defeating all comers in wrestling. He
was famous as a wrestler during his
four years at Tufts college.
1t is probable that Lieutenant Sher-
burne will take over the basket ball
activities of the fields as well as play
a big part in putting on the wrestling
and boxing cards. Lieut.. John A
Macdonald was at first expected to
succeed Lieutenant Malefski, but he
is no longer at Kelly Field. Lieuten-

choice of kis successor and is sure
