CHAPLAIN ADAMS
breaches TO BOYS
AT CAMP DEVENS
Delivers Sermon ON "The
HerOics of the Com
mon Place"

Especial to Caledonian-R Record
Camp Devens, Mass, Aug. IA
There was a general church SER
vice held here today and a very
good percentage of the boys from
the Green mountain state took adj
vantage of this opportunity to hear
their new'- appointed Chaplain,
Rev. Chauncey Adams, preach. He
took for his theme "The Heroics
of the Commonplace" He endeav-
ored 10 explain to his congregation
that it is easier to be a hero in the
heat of battle or any other crisis
than it is to be in everyday life.
His congregation was very a.ten-
tive and certainly impressed him
as highly as any congregation of
boys could possibly have done.
This afternoon General Herbert
T. Johnson, adjutant general of
the State had a practice review
and many were the comments
made bv regular army officers that
the Vermont boys made as good, if
not better showing, than any Ma
tional o-uard outfit which has been
here this summer.
Everybody is busy policing up
for the big review tomorrow when
Major General Clarence r Ed
wards, the beloved commander of
the Goth division of the A. E. F.
will honor the Vermont troops
with his presence.
Editor of Caledonian,

SAYS UNITY OF ALLIES
GUARANTEE OF PEACE

LONDON, Aug. 16-Premiel
Lloyd-George, speaking in the
House of Commons today concern
ing the last meeting of the Allied
Supreme Council, declared that in
many respects it was the most i'm
portant since the declaration OF
peace. Questions were before it,
he said, which furnished the en-
tente the unity of the Allies, Mr..
Lloyd-George asserted was guar
antee for the peace Of Europe and
1t was matter of great gratifica-
ton that at the end of the meet
ing a resolution was passed that
not merely that the alliance be
contiued but declaring that the
spirit of the alliance was as strong
as ever. The question giving the
anxiety, the prime minister con-
tinued, was that Of Upper Silesia
which he said was in ma ny res
poets was one of the most danger
gerous and delicate yet raised. 1t
never seemed to him a very diff
cult matter to settle the question
on its merit. Geographically econ
omically and statistical, Mr.. Lloyd
George said.

ciared the only government the
people recognized as the ministry
of the Dali Eierenn the Irish Re-
publican parliament. He and his
colleagues, the head of the Repub-
lican cabinet said, had adopted to-
ward England the principle laid
down by Cardinal MERCER of Bel
GUM towards Germany, the prin-
ciple that external authority was
unlawful. The Irish he said, stood
for the ideals enthroned in the
American declaration of Independ-
ence.
Mr.. De Valera provoked laugh
ter by describing the British atti-
tude as that of a great nation de-
manding guarantees for its safety
from a small one when it should be
a big nation guaranteeing safety to
a small state. The cabinet had
sent the reply it did, Mr.. De Val
era declared because it did not
think the British proposals We're
just. Mr.. De Valera pointed to
the virtually impossible conditions
surrounding negotiations with the
British government for the posi-
ton, he said, was that of man un-
armed, facing a man, pointing a
pistol.
There were people who wanted
to negotiate to save their faces,
he continued, but the Sim Fein
would not negotiate to save faces
but to save if possible bloodshad

"kiO" Grani Expected to
Play Third on Wednes-
day-PierOtti to Pitch

The chief topic of conversation
in Newport today was the big
game between st. Johnsbury and
Newport while the discussion in
this town centers mostly about the
proposition of who is TO be in the
line up and who is to be dropped,
at least for the important contest.

streets, in barber shops, stores and
Offices today, but after all was said
and done little was definitely
known about the plans for We'd

Definite information from base
ball headquarters is lacking al
though there is plenty of gossip
as to the changes to be effected for
the fourth game of the big series.
1t has been definitely announced
that "Puss" Conner will be relev-
ed in left field. "Puss" gave no
tice some time ago that he would
be leaving the team the latter part
of this week and in view of this
it was deemed advisable to start
his successor in the big game. 1t
is also understood that st. Angeles
place in center field will be assum-
ed by a hired player for the day
only, 1t is expected one further
shifts will be made but which one
this will b is not yet known.
Cornelius "Kio" Grani, pitcher,
infelder and outfelder, of Barre
who has been playing practically
all season with the Auburn, N. ",
team arrived in town on Monday.
He will, in all probability, be as
signed to third base and Charlie
Maher sent TO left field. Manager
Hoernle is after two or three other
men, who were expected to be in
town by noon today in order to
participate in strenuous work out
a. the Campus this afternoon.
Hoe1nle will be better able to place
his men after looking them over
this afternoon.
