scnger says this should be done without
fail and suggests a civilian organiza

zion 1t adds:
Not too much time ought to be al
lowed to elapse before someone makes
the start in this matter. 1t is fitting,
that there be such memorial. The
tate is anxious to pay this honor to
It's departed defenders.
And it should be suitable memorial
ono symbolical of the sacrifice; one
useful in way which would fittingly
perpetuate the memory of the men; one
that would in the long years to come
continue to be source of pride to fu-
ture generations.
Probably the people of Vermont gen
| orally will approve of the erection of
suitable memorial to all Vermont sol
diers Neither the Messenger or the
| Legion have made it clear, however,
whether the memorial should be erected
| by the state from state funds or a vol
untary contribution from people able
| to subscribe for such q laudable pur-
pose. At first thought state govern
ment memorial seems undesirable The
state has already done much for the sol
diers and sailors from this state in the
payment of substantial bonus and IN
appropriating $4,000 for the prepare,
ton and publication of q history OF
Vermont in the war. That is all the
burden the state seems warranted il
placing upon the taxpayers of the
state
The erection of a state memorial
probably would stop many projects OF
erecting local memorials, not necessar
i lily an objection to it, because a state
memorial could be made greater OF
more useful. But we would like to see

The necessity of prompt action can

Admiral Lord Jellicoe. who is due to
arrive in Canada within the next few
days to begin the final lap of his world
tour of inspection of British naval sta
tions, is one of the British naval officers
who won fame and rank in the late war
In the early part of the conflict he was
in command of the home fleet. Later he
was appointed First Sea Lord. in which
post he served until December, 1917. Al
though comparatively little known to the
general public before the world war, Ad-
miral Jellicoe had seen much active ser
vice since he first entered the navy at
the age of thirteen. Three times has
he narrowly escaped death. The first
escape was in 1880, when his boat cap
sized in high sea as he was attempting
to rescue the crew of wrecked shiT
off Gibraltar. The second escape was
from the Inflated Victoria, when that
ship collided with the Camperdown. The
last occasion was in the Boxer Rebellion
when he got bullet through the top Of
one of his lungs.

COUNTY INDUSTRIAL
BOOSTERS WILL MEET

A meeting of representatives. Of
commercial and community organiza-
tions of La Sale county has been ar
ranged for Wednesday afternoon,
June %. in the assembly roof of the
La Sale Chamber of Commerce. All
organizations in the county have been
invited to send one or more repre-
sentatives. The call for this meet
ing signed by w. f. Cherry, secretary
of the Streator Commercial Associa-
ton; J. F. Farrell, secretary of the
Ottawa Chamber Of Commerce, and
j. F. Bryan, secretary Of the La Sale

tendance and no doubt the meeting
will be productive of much good.
