In AMERICA
But Throughout the Coun-
try There Were Celebra-
tions to Mark the Sec
ond Anniversary of the

three French marshals-Joffre, Foch
and Petain-stood by the open grave.

ter were held in the United States, but

MONTPELIER
Comparatively Quiet Meeting of City
Council Held Last Night.

The Tuffled waters, which have exist
ed in the Montpelier city council for
the last few weeks. seemed to have
been queted. for last evening one of
the most agreeable meetings of weeks
took place and the business was done
within an hours time. Mrs. +. J..
lowe, for the city Improvement. com
mittee of the Woman's club, appeared
before the council, complaining about
an open sewer on Charles street, of
which the council knew nothing; also
Nabout the condition of Barre street
and the Main street walk past her
home and asking the council to estab-
lish a public dump other than the one
which IL now has. which is near the
outskirts of the city. She desired one
nearer the center of the city. The
council referred the matter of the sew
or to the sewer committee with power
to act. The street committee will
visit Northtield street to-day in an
effort TO repair the street, put the
street in a psssable condition and the
walk in a safe condition for pedes-
trians. The matter of the repairs ON
the sewer beneath T. ID. Fields house
was referred to the city attorney, there
being a legal question ,on the mat
ter. The council refused TO buy coats
at present for the firemen until after
the supply committee had looked those
now used over to zee il such were
needed. No preparation for the city
meeting next week was made. al
