The house rocked throughout the
storm; so did Mrs. Langer's and Mrs.
Sheppard's.
Miss Ruth Sheppard, who was out
side the blacksmith shop in an auto
mobile, was so stunned by the cleo
trical charges that she was unable to
move when Mr.. Scranton and Mr.
/ Pierce tried to take her to a place of
safety II was some time before she
fully recovered.
As telephones were out of order
Mr. Scranton rushed to Putnam for
assistance, warning everyone he met
that they could not pass by the route

from fifteen to twenty thousand dol,

Uses was struck and burned forty
years ago. The fact that the high
wind was blowing away from, rather
than towards. other buildings was all
that saved the dwelling house and
smaller structures.
The Storm In Putnam
+ The storm of Tuesday afternoon
did not center over Putnam. While
+ the wicked looking clouds came up
from the northwest and caused dark
ness of night to fall upon the city,
and caused uneasiness among the tim
id, the storm spent itself in a heavy
RAIN accompanied by high wind, but
nothing out of the ordinary. l, last
ed but few minutes and then grad
ually grew light as the breaking of a
new day with cool crisp air as of the
early morning hours.
Throughout the state the storm
seemed to- center in spots. Great
damage resulted to crops and the to-
bacco growing district was hard hit,
damage of nearly 100000 being
estimated

The first road fatality of the auto
mobile season in Vermont has occurred
near White River Junction, boy being
killed, when struck by machine while
riding a bicycle In this case the
blame does not seem to be attached to
the driver of the motor vehicle mas
much as his car was proceeding under
moderate speed and with lights turned
on, according to the requirements OF
the law concerning the operation OF
motor vehicles after dark. 1t seems
strange that the rider of the bicycle
should not have seen and been warned
by the lights of the automobile as he
was proceeding in the direction Of the
light; but that will perhaps remain
a. one Of the unexplained features OF
the tragedy. The fatality, coming thus
early in the season, should serve as a
warning that all users of the public
highways have their own responsibility
T. certain extent, that the whole re.
sponsibility is not thrown on the oper-
ator OF the motor vehicle.

BARRE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
TONIGHT.

Only once in four years do the peo5
pie have anything to say about the
tenancy of the White House. It's a
long time to wait and when the chance
does come the people ought not to be
loath to exercise their privilege. Here
in Vermont we may seem to be remote
from opportunity of welding much in
fuence in the matter, but such in
: fluence as we have ought to be brought
to bear.
The first opportunity to WELD that
influence is to attend the caucuses
which elect delegates to the state con
vention, which, in turn, elects eight
delegates to the national convention
Republican caucuses will be held
throughout Vermont tonight in order
to make up the state convention. Right
here and now is the first opportunity
to start to have something to say about
the presidency. The Republicans must
attend their caucus. Barre Republl-
cans must be present at the opera
house this Saturday evening at 1880
o'clock. If you have any preference
for the presidency or if you believe the
Vermont delegation should go to Chi
cago without any Predetermined line
of action mapped out or if you are still
in doubt as to the best course OF ac-
ton, you Republicans should attend
the caucus tonight. Let it be repre-
sentative caucus and let it express the
will of the majority of the Republicans
os Barre.
Whatever your shade of Republican
coloring, be sure to attend the caucus
tonight.

vestigating the navy, anything per-
tanning to the navy departments plans
for carrying on operations against Ter
many, such plans having been prepared
before the United States entered the
war against Germany; and 1T was the
height of folly for any of the investi-
gators to expect that the plans would
be revealed even to the committee. Too
much has been brought to light already
concerning the deliberations IN the IN
nermost councils of the navy depart
ment. To relate more, even in the prl-
vacv of star chamber proceedings OF
Senate investigating committee, would
be ridiculous for the reason that the
plans for carrying on war against Ger
MANY must have followed a general
line of strategy which could not be sue
cessfully altered in its main partic-
ulars no matter whether the war was
be fought in 1917 or in 1914. No doubt
Germany has certain amount OF IN
formation already as to what course
the United States would have to FOL
low in order to prosecute war against
her; and all she needs is a little con-
firmation and the filling in OF details
in order to have the United States
whole strategy laid bare. Civilian hand
ling of those details would furnish the
outlet; and perhaps some of the official
naval personnel might not be expected
to use extreme discretion in the mat
ter. Therefore, it is welcome news that
the naval strategists Of the war board
will decline to go on the stand and tell
all they know about the plans which
the United States have about carrying
on war against Germany or some other
nation. If we should do that, we
would most certainly qualify for the
primer class of nations.
