CURRENT COMMENT
Faithful Service.

Major Robert w. McCuen of Yer.
gennes, whom we hope to welcome short
ly as resident of Burlington officially
is new illustration of the old adage,
that if you want to get thing done,
get busy man to do it. The philoso-
ply of this in that the spirit which
keeps a man busy is also the spirit
that does things. Major McCuen in
addition to a lucrative law business
and the management of large farming
interests retained during his army ser
vice in France has found time to put
new ginger into the Middlebury Reg
lister, which he recently purchased.
Just now he is serving most efficiently
as the secretary of the Addison county
fair and as an effective publicity agent,
as the readers of the Free Press saw
in the account in yesterdays Free
Press of his biggest fair work in con
nection with the forthcoming seventy
fifth anniversary exhibition. A little
later he will take up the work of col
leetor of internal revenue for Vermont,
with headquarters in Burlington. The
entrusted beauty of it all s that Maj
or McCuen does well everything en-.
trusted to his care.-Burlington Free

While it is unfortunate that the en-.
tire machinegun company of the Yer
mont National Guard in Barre could
not attend the course of military train

lack of equipment, due to the short
time since organization, the represent
tation of nearly score of men win
imbibe enough of the military flavor to
give the new company a good start.

The soviet government of Russia has
sent merely six Americans out of the
country following the demand of the
United States government to release
all Americans in return for food sup

word has come of the release of any
other Americans from Russian pris-
ons. 1t is time for the government
at Washington to demand complete
chow down or quit the negotiations
forthwith.

Memphis. Jan. 2i-Twenty.flve per
sops were killed early today when
serieg OF explosions wrecked th'
Colyar-Reose oil company's plan
here, according to estimates made by
the police.
A majority OF those killed inside
the plant are believed TO be negroes,
while many persons living In the vi
entity OF the pl1r. are numbero
among the victims. The blast was
80 great that buildings were wrecked
for blocks around the plant and
windows shattered more than half q
mile away.
In one house. which was located
near the oil company's plant, a moth.
er and her FIVE children were re-
ported killed when the explosion tore
their house to pieces.
Tho explosion, according TO state.
ments OF the police who have been
Investigating. was caused by spark
from the chlsel of a workman who
was repairing 4 tank which con.
tanned $4,000 gallons Of gasoline. This
tank was the first to blow up. the ini.
tial explosion causing several others
IN quick succession.
No trace has been found of the
workman who was working on the
big tank OF gasoline and II is believ-
ed that the force of the explosion
tore his body to atoms.
The police and fire department
rushed to the scene as rapidly as
possible the former to render any
assistance possible and to take
charge of the situation, the latter
to combat the flames that resulted
from the blast.
The. police, fearing that other ex-
plosions with increasing casualties
and property damage lists warned
the residents within half mile of
the plant to vacate Immediately
No estimate had been made Of the
property damage, early this morning,
but 1t will doubtless run into enor-
nous figures.
