LIVELY CONTEST
FOR ADJ.-GENERAI
Both Gen. Tillotson and Col. Johnson
in the Field

Montpelier, Jan. 21-Important de-
velopments in the contest for the offic
flee of acknowledgement Of the State
of Vermont appeared on the political
horizon durig the afternoon of today.
A telegram from Major Lee S. Til
lotson, who until he went overseas
about year ago, filed the Office of
acknowledgement in the state, was re-
ceived in Montpelier. The telegram,
which was sent from New York jan
uary 20, reads as follows:
az asked and obtained relief from
foreign service in order that I might
return to the position of adjutant-
general of Vermont Landed yester-
day anw was much surprised to learn
of Johnson's candidacy after his state
ment to me in letter of September
%, that he should not be candidate
and would personally see to my re-
election. Impossible for me to return
before election. / am a candidate.
Please let the facts be understood.
"TILOTSON."
With the election of the adjutant-
general slated for Thursday, any
campaign conducted on either side
will have to be in the nature of a
whirlwind from now on in order to
maintain the semblance of a political
campaign.
Col. johnson states that he has
Ipurposely held back from Announcing
his candidacy for the office of adju
tant-general because of the fact that
Major Tillotson was still in France,
but when it was learned that the
major was coming home to be can
didate for the office Col. johnson felt
that he was no longer under obliga
ton to leave the field open, when SO
many were insisting that he should be
candidate.
Since the Vermont statutes say
that a man cannot be elected to a
State Office while he is still in the pay
of the federal government, it is diff
cult to see how Major Tillotson can
hope receive the election in Vermont
unless he can obtain his release from
the service before the election on
Thursday. 1t is understood that he
is now in Washington trying to bring
this about. In the meantime, he has
most emphatically declared that he is
la candidate, and the Legislature is
iawaiting the next move in the game.

Womanss Salute to the Flag

"Put your hand on your heart as
the flag goes by" was the answer of
President Lincoln to a young girl
who asked how she should best sal
ute the flag,
A suggestion that this salute be
adopted by women all over the land
is made by Maiden woman, Mrs.
Frederic Feeble of IA Chestnut So
She made the suggestion of making
this salute Il National one and wishes
lit adopted by the Government and
recommended to all women.
Mrs. Beebe voiced her opinion be-
fore the Maiden Civic League, NAL
den's leading woman's club, and the
club has appointed a committee to
recommend that the woman's flag sa-
lutte be standardized. This committee
will outline the plan to the authori-
ties at Washington.
"Women need an outward express
sion when our flag goes by says
Mrs. Beebe. eve felt the need of it
during lie war, and we feel it every
time our National anthem is sung.
Soldiers ard sailors stand at atten-
ton, civilians take off their hats, but
we women have no National salute
and we arc most anxious to have one.
[ feel that the action of the Maiden
club is the beginning of the Nation
wide movement which will make the
Lincoln salute for women universal"
Mrs. Beebe is the wife of an attor-
ney and is the standard bearer of
the First Chapter of the Daughters
of the, Nation of Maiden. She is al
so the standard bearer of Massachu-
sets Council of the head of the pre-
paredness unit of St. Pau1's church
of Maiden, which body made innum-
cradle surgical dressings all during
the war
The question of how women should
show thei,' love and respect for the
flag as it gees by on parade has been
agltated on many occasions and, al
though this Lincoln salute has been
spoken of before, this is the first
move to make it real National tok-
Ell OF love for the flag.
"Fcr long" she says, "ever since
we have lived in the stirring DAYS of
the war, there has been the need
OF a right and proper uniform salute
for women to give the flag.
The lack of proper tribute to the
flag on the part of women has been
so great that it has now become a
matter of harsh criticism. We won1
en- desire Il uniform salute establish
ed, simple, dignifed observance
that will belong to US as women.
just as their salute belongs to the
soldiers and sailors, the civilians sa-
lutte to them and one even for the
children as trained in their schools.
Several women's organizations
have taken action upon the matter.
the woman's committee of the Coun
Gil OF National Reform, the War
Camp Community Service, the First
Chapter of the Daughters of the Ma
ton of Maiden and the Maiden Wo-
mems Civic League.
sWhy not adopt the suggestion
made b. the great Lincoln? Carried
out in a military way the Lincoln
salute would be: The right arm
brought up smartly across the chest,
the palm of the hand held horizon
tai, fingers joined and the thumb
touching thu heart underneath. Done
clisply the salute IS impressive, dig
nified and simple"

DR.. Garfield Announces Prices o
Coke and Coal

CDR. Garfield announced today that
zone and price. regulations on coke
and COAL, except Pennsylvania anthra-
cite will be suspended February 1.
This refers to mine prices, wholesal-
ers' margin, purchasing agents COM
missions and retail margins and pric-
es." e5f..
among the reasons which prompt
ed the above determination was the
fact that the socks of biutminouts
coal now ON hand throughout the
country ate sufficient to provide con-
suniers with bituminous coal and coke
for the Winter season, even if the
mild weather thus far should be
succeeded by a period of severe
weather. The average stocks of bit
luminous 'eoal for the country on the
first day lof January approximated
seven Rteks' supply ~ the storage
on hand In the regions most remote
from the. mines being sufficient for 20
weeks. IL ~
"Attention is also called to the fact
that thes maximum prices and zone
regulations on Pennsylvania anthra-
cite COAL which is largely domestic,
are not affected by the above an
nouncemsnt." ~ 81 xsN .

THE DAWN PATROL

SometimesEI fly at dawn above the
sea, ~
Where, underneath, the restless wat
ers flow
Silver, and cold, and slow.
Dim in theseast there burns new
born sun,
Whose rosy CLEANS along the ripples
run,
Save where the mist droops low,
Hiding the:level loneliness from me.
And now appears beneath the milk
white haze
A little fieetkof anchored ships, which
lie ssis.8
In clustered company,
And seem as they are yet fast bound
by rleep,
Although the day has long begun to
With redsinfamed eye,
Along the still, deserted ocean ways.
The fresh, cold wind of dawn blows
on my face
AS in the suns raw heart swiftly fly,
And watch the seas glide by.
Scarce human seem I, moving through
the skies,
And far removed from warlike enter

Like sonIHEgreat gull on high
Whose whiteand cleaning wings beat
on through space. =.
