Orders were received last week for
the division to begin it's return
home and on Thursday wire from
General Pershfngs headquarters.
twelve miles north of us, asked that
accompany the division across
France to LIE Mons, where they will
go into quarantine and prepare gen.
orally for embarkation. Delousing

q capital one and are making re
quisftiDns for space aboard the train
for our needs. We also plan to
serve hot drinks, preferably choco-
late at the entraining point. By
the time the boys leave LIE Mons
am sure the army OF occupation will
be sufficiently located to permit Of
the educational work for which /
have been sent.
During the past few days we have
had real winter weather with plen-
ty of snow, although the weather
has not been serevely cold. How
ever, the snow and the frozen
ground are q happy relief from the
rain and mud of the preceding two
months.
Last Wednesday General Bradley
took me in his private car to Prau-
thOy, where went to confer on Y.
M. C. A. matters. EnrOute I had q
splendid opportunity to learn more
of the military situation in France
and particularly to learn his atti-
tude toward the "Y". He is an in
valuable friend in the furtherance
of our work and it did me good to
hear him eulogize the work of
the association men. During the
conversation l referred casually to
the criticism which I am told has
been turned loose in the States and
the general promptly replied with
energy and with the stamp of con-
victi0n that after the. storm had
passed the "Y" would stand out
bigger and stronger than it has
ever done before in It's history. The
general is immensely pleased with
our work in this division and has
no hesitancy in saying SO.
am looking forward to an inter-
esting trip to LIE Mons, which Is by
the way, the largest concentration
camp in Europe, accommodating
approximately half million men.
The folks at home would laugh
themselves hoarse If they could see
us in certain tragical moments of
our overseas service. Just as re-
minder l will refer to my last
nights experience. Our army cooks
did not show up on time and was
determined to serve the boys with
warm dOughtnuts in spite of the
difficulties. Nobody on our staff
had ever made them and was the
only one with nerve enough to at.
tempt it. In my pocket / had

yesterday. Mr.. Murphy states that

ed as quickly as possible, with a view
to having the plant in operation by the
first of May. The plant will be capable
Of handling 0 tons per day., II on
this basis it is estimated that at least
IS months will he required to treat all
the ore in the dump.
Mr.. Murphy has moved his family
and his household effects to Encamp-
ment with the expectation of remaining
there from two to four years while
completing the work at present planned
by his company. He states that much
activity is planned for the coming sum-
mer about the Ferris Haggerty and
Doane Rambler mines, but that the in
dications are that nothing of conse-
quence can be IN along this line be-
fore the middle of June, owing to the

The voters of the town Of Plain- vile met last evening in thes town hall and voted to appropriate $3,S00 to cover an increase of S200 each for the teachers in the Plainville district.
 The meeting was a dsapp pointm ent to many who attended principally to hear the arguments which were eN- pected to be set forth in favor of and in opposition to the proposed in crease. There was little or no argu- ment, however, the popular sentiment plainly being that the instructors arc entitled to more money in order to cover cost of-living expenses.
 The attendance at the meeting was not much larger than usual, despite predictions to the contrary. 1t was expected many people who have chill dren in the schools would attend and vote for the appropriation, but at the last minute little interest was dis played.
 The additional appropriation will be added to the annual budget, which has been in the hands of the as sessors for some time. It will neces- sitate additional labor on the part Of the board, as it will materially affect D y The annual town meeting 10 lay the tax will be held in March.
