MOTION PICTURES
SHOWING HOLSTEINS
Subjects Are Chosen and Adapted Un-
der Supervision of Prof. William
M. Rider of Brattleboro.

Motion picture films showing inter
esting pictures of Holstein cattle. the
Holstein- Friesian association head
quarters, officials, and dairy farm
scenes have just been made, the sub
Jects being chosen and adapted under
the supervision of Prof W. NJ. Rider
of Brattleboro, director of the extern
sion service of the Holstein- -Friesian
Association of America. The films were
made from photographs taken by Rob-
ert Hildebrand, the noted Chicago
livestock photographer, and they have
been shown once at the Auditorium
here through the courtesy of the man
agement. Prof. Rider hopes to show
them at meeting of the New England
Breeders club in Boston in a few
days.
To the lover of animals and pictur-
esqne scenes the pictures are of an
especially appealing nature, while from
an educational point of view, they
will prove to be of great value, the
intention being to use the films at meet
ings of Holstein dairymen in different
parts of the country. Apart from the
| beneficial effects which the showing of
these films will have upon those in
terested in dairy farming. there is not
the slightest doubt that movie - fans
in general will take a delight in seeing
the pictures.
| Among the scenes shown on the
screen were a number of leading pure
bred Holstein Friesian herds in the
/ United States, such as Carnation Stock
farms (owners of over 600 head, Seat.

MARRIED SOLDIERS
ORDERED HOME
Not So Good Soldiers as Unmarried
Men-Further Marrying of Ameri-
can Soldiers Forbidden.

AT AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS
Coblenz, Feb. -. = Two hundred and
fifty soldiers of the American forces in
Germany who have married European
girls have been instructed to start soon
for America with their wives in accord
ance with a recent order of Major Gen
eral Allen in command.
In connection with this order it was
also announced that army authorities
would not consent in the future to
marriages of American soldiers on duty
in the occupied area, the officers con
tending that men without wives in
Germany are better soldiers under the
present circumstances.
About 200 soldiers have married Ger
man girls since the American forces
reached the Rhine. The others included
in the order having married principally
French girls or young women from Bel
gium or Luxembourg.

-He saw no reason why an exception
should be made in this case. He
thought justice demanded the same pro-
cedure be followed as in other GRIM
inal causes. Attorney Stickney con-
tended that the respondent under the
law had the right to ask for a stay.
He pointed out that matters had come
to their attention which they were now
Investigating and on which would be
based proceedings before the supreme
court for a petition for new trial.
He did not indicate grounds He also
asked for 80 days to prepare excep-
tiOns.
In granting the respondents s motion
Judge Butler said he was satisfied the
verdict was in accordance with the evi-
dence, however, if the court had erred
in its ruling it hoped that the supreme
court would rectify it. Both sides con-
fessed the case was of great Importance
and in order that the respondent might
stand unpredjudiced by sentence he
was inclined to grant the motion.
Attorney General Archibald opposed
the request for 90 days to file excep-
tions on grounds that this would put
the hearing in supreme court over un-
til the October. term. Judge Butler
said he would decide that question later.
Mr. Graham was in the court room.
He appeared to brighten pereeptibly
after the court ruled on the motion.
Attorneys Stickney, Brown and Oar
ling of his counsel were present. Attor-
ney General Archibald and Attorney
! Barber represented the state.
Counsel for the defense when inter
viewed would not state at this time
the grounds on which new trial would
be asked. as mentioned in court this
morning
Outside the report that some. of Jury
men had expressed opinions before the
trial was rumor that one juror coult
not read or write.
AS the case now stands there is
nothing to prevent Governor Clement
pardoning Mr. Graham if SO inclined
As Governor Clement was leaving thi
noon he was asked if he had pardonec
Mr.. Graham. His answer was Z" No.

Story of Trip of 57th Pio-
neer Infantry by
E. w. Gibson
INFLUENZA CAUSED
VERITABLE INFERNO
Pools of Blood Caused Slippery Decks
and Crowns and Cries of Terrified
Sick Added to Confusion Many
Brattleboro Men Aboard.

At the request of The Reformer Mai.
Ernest w. Gibson of Brattleboro, who
was captain and personnel adjutant in
the 57th Pioneer infantry in the world
war, has prepared an account of the regi-
ment's trip across the Atlantic to France
on the big steamer Leviathan, on which
were many Brattleboro young men, espe-
cially with reference to the conditions
which prevailed as a result of influenza.
His account of the trip, in which are in-
corporated extracts from an official re-
port. brings out some horrible conditions
which the public has little realized.
Every Vermonter should read in its en-
tirety Major Gi0son's story, which fol-
lows:
In February, 1918, the First Vermont
Infantry, which had been wrecked by
the short sighted and entirely wrong
I policy of the war department, was given
| the new name of the 57th Pioneer In
fantry. The remains of the broken Ma
tional Guard organizations of New Eng
land and New York were re-designsted
as Corps and Army Troops, assembled
at Camp Wadsworth, there filled up with
drafted men and sent overseas.
The 57th Pioneer Infantry had about
so commissioned officers and 450 nom
commissioned officers from Vermont.
These were men who had chung to the
old organization with a fine sense of
loyalty to their state. The other COM
missioned officers of the regiment as
finally completed came from the National
Guard regiments of many states. The
balance of the enlisted personnel came
from Philadelphia, Chicago, and from
Tennessee. On the sixth day of Septem-
Der, 1918, about 5000 men from Tennes-
see were called into service. They came
from the cities and villages, off the cot
ton plantations and from the mountain
homes of that state. These boys were
a home loving, God fearing lot of men.
To many the trip to camp was first
, Iexperience on a railway train. Twenty
five hundred of them were assigned to
Iour regiment on the 18th day of Septem-
Der. They were equipped, inoculated
vaccinated and on the 23d day of Septem-

EX-CRoWN PRINCE SERIOUS.
Offers Himself In Good Faith-Father
Much Displeased.

THE HAGUE, Wednesday, Feb IL.
1t is declared in reliable quarters that
former Crown Prince Frederick VII
liam was serious in making his offer to
the allied governments to surrender
himself in place of the Germans on the
extradition list and that he is inclined
to believe that the allies will accept his
plan. ,~M
1t is learned here that Former En-
peror William is strong in his disap-
proval of his son IS action. Nothing
was known at Wieringen of the ex-
Crown Princes intention before his
messages to the heads of the various
governments had been despatched and
the only notification given by Fred
erick William was one to the Dutch
government when he sent the communi-
cation abroad.
