by those who know the American soldier. Inc
regular army is composed Of 100 per cent Of
volunteers. Practically every officer and man
in the service is serving because he loves the
service and for no other reason. Certainly IT
is not for money because scarcely any one in
the army but could make more money on the
outside. Actually the reason they serve is
for sheer love of the service and the honor Of
wearing its uniform 1t is therefore ironical
that this uniform should be held in disesteem.
In time Of peace the uniform has since time
immemorial come into dscredit, especially
with those too ready to forget the many heroic
deeds performed on the field Of battle but al
ways ready TO offer up for inspection the
slightest deviation from the strait and mar
row road from which the soldier must never
defect. It is nothing more nor less than
distorted vision. Which brings to mind GER

Acts Of rowdyism by few young bloods IN

down her instant disapproval. Snifingly she

The three proposals all hinging
on various plans for adjusting the

submitted to the executives in New

under each of the three proposals.
One proposal according to one of
those claiming to have informa-
ton of the Presidents suggestion
would befo the railroads to
waive the seniority rights and take
all strikers back to work. Another
would be to give "loyal" men who
had remained At work prior rights
over strikers. The third was for
separate adjustment of the senior

SUITS BROUGHT TO
RECOVER LOSSIN
HARDWICK FIRE
Insurance Co. Refuses to
Settle Where Fire
Was Set

Another chapter in the history
of the Parmeter fires in Hardwick
and Craftsbury something over a
year ago came out this week with
the bringing of suits to recover
the insurance.
1t will be emembered that AL
bert NJ. Parmeter of Hardwick
was arrested on charge of having
burned his buildings in Hardwick.
He was tried IN Caledonia county
court and found guilty and was
sentenced to states prison for not
more than eight nor less than four
years. Parmeter was sentenced
Sept. 9, 1921.
Now his wife, Maria J. Par
meter, the Hardwick Savings bank
and trust company and S. f. Dar-
ling have brought suit against the
Vermont Mutural Fire Insurance
company for $4,000 and another
suit has been brought by Mrs.
Parmeter against the same COM
pany for $4,000. These suits are
brought to recover the insurance.
The company refused to pay the
claim on the grounds that the fire
was set.
Mr.. Darling and the bank are
parties to the suit because they
held mortgages on the property. Mr..
Darling is counsel for the Plain
tiifs, The cases are returnablc at
the next term Of Caledonia county

Lucky Escape for Occup-
ants of Cars of r. w.
Spear and c. A. Brown

If an accident can be called a
fortunate one, then that of Rufus
w. Spear and c. A. Brown is
worthy to be placed in that cate
CORY.
The two parties were returning
from the ball game at St. Johns
bury Wednesday evening and when
ir the vicinity of Derby Center,
the Spear car decided to go faster
and sounded The horn for the right
of way Miss Pauline Brown, who
was driving, turned out but the
second car operated by Carlton
Spear came too close and the front
wheels of the two cars locked, the
impetus carrying them both over a
bank and into the field.
None of the occupants were in
jured. The Velie owned by c. A.
Brown and his sister, Mrs. Benia
min Hinman, was only slightly
damaged and the occupants, Miss
Brown, Miss Christie Blanchard,
Miss Beatrice Farman, Miss Bar
bara Brown and c. A. Brown, con-
tinued on their way home. r. W..
Spear with his daughter, Miss
Louise Spear, Miss Leota Cob
leigh, and son Carlton, were OBJ
.liged to abandon their machine
and come home with friends. The
car was brought in yesterday
morning, and is laid up for repairs.
A broken wheel and several other
ailments are theresult of the col

Miss Wilson Greeted
By Crowded Houses

Intense interest was shown IN
the personal appearance at the
Globe theater yesterday of Miss
Margaret Wilson, author, direAor
and star of Tnsinuation". Miss
Wilson gave a happy little speech
at each performance, telling how
much she loved Vermonters, how
kind they had been to her and how
she enjoyed the filming of "In-
sinuation" at Randolph, She paid
fine complement to the acting of
Vermonters in the picture and es-
pecially the little girl who took
an important part. Miss Wilson is
a very charming young woman to
meet and left a very wholesome
picture in the minds of those who
have recently been accustomed to
associate the "movies" with sensa-
tional affairs. Miss Vivian sang in
sweet voice two solos at each per-
Torrance.

Sherbrooke came down to

and suffered an s to 5 trouncing.
eed who started twirling for the
visitors, lasted but three innings
and was replaced in the fourth by
Granai, who up TO that time had
lead an eventful career in right
field.
Reed found a Newport bat wait
ing for about everything he deliv-
cred. He seemed to be about the
exact size, dimensions, and gener-
al specifications which gave untold
pleasure to his opponents and they
connected with his products for
ten swats in the first three chap
ters besides taking three walks and
having one man hit by said pitcher.
The Canadian boys were fortunate
in having no more than six runs
scored against them during this
first third of the game, for there
were left on bases five of their
foes seeking a chance to give the
scorer additional work. Newport
worked up a lead which at no fu-
ture stage of the game was SER
iously threatened.
Sherbrooke scored but one run
during this period, and this came
in the first when Charter singled
and was put across home plate by

FAIRBANKS A. A.
LOSES GAME TO
CROVETON Ga
Cy Stewart TWirls Fine
Ball and Shines With
Bat

"Cy" Stewart, popular pulp town
sharpshooter, kept the Fairbanks
wrecking crew at bay for nine
chapters yesterday at Groveton
and banged out triple and a
double incidentally winning for
himself high niche in the local
hall of fame. Groveton held the
whip hand 6 to A.
Though the Hoernle-coached
concern found Stewart for nine
hits, yet inability to bunch said
blows accounted for the defeat.
Stewart heaved really good game
His control was immense. He
worked on every Fairbanks hitter
carefully and rarely permitted the
agate to slip into the groove. He
famed one man, but the Scale
town swat-smiths could not collide
safely when 1uns meant the con-
test.
Ralph Bracket did meet one on
the button and sent it, a soaring
three bagger, to left center in the
eighth inning. Maloney's sharp
monosack over second drove him
in with a run. Then in the ninth
captain pro TEN Brackets men
made fine bid for the game. Starr
was safe at first when W. Dice
foozeled his grounder. Frank Nc
Laughlin doubled to right center,
sending Starr in to register the
third tally of the game. Don Gray
clicked out a terrific single along
the right field foul line and Mac
also dented home plate.
1t looked as though the wreck
ing crew had started to function
as of yore. Fuller Martin reached
first when Dice elected to try for
Gray at second, the latter was re-
tired for the second out. Tommy
Grieve, however, drew his stroll to
first and Bracket knocked a burn
ing single through shortstop.
Martin went to third on the hit,
then started for home. He saw
that Fisk, the home left fielder,
had the ball, however, and decided
to return to the bag. AS he at
tempted to slide back to safety,
Langley slapped the ball on him
and the umpire allowed that he
was out. Martins retirement snuff
fed out what looked like hair
raising finish to the game. With
Maloney at bat and two potential
runs waiting on the cushions, it
looked like a Fairbanks conquest.
But fate ruled otherwise.
Fairbanks other marker was
hung up in the second round.
Tommy Starr, who is meeting the
apple with a vengeance, drove out
a hard single between second and
first. Mclaughlin also crashed out
a one-baser, and when Craggy err
red in retrieving the pellet, Mac
took second and Tommy ambled
all the way to the home saucer.

faW of East Burke also was beaten
up by strike ,ympathizers.
The tense situation in the vii
lage has necessitated the closest
attention of Sheriff Wilbur Wor-
then and his deputies who are on
duty about the strike area Of the
Boston and Maine shops.
Eviction notices have been SER
we'd by the railroad management
on four tenants of railroad houses
on East street. The four strikers
have been given SO days notice TO
leave their former homes.
The work train which is running
between st. Johnsbury and Lyn-
donville daily has showed a steady
gain in the number of workers
taken to the plant. Twenty-nine
men were reported on today's
train. There are now working at
the shops, according to railroad
officials, thirty-one men at the car
shops and 80 at the locomotive
plant.
A fight between Melvin Larue, a
car shop worker and James S.
Smith, a former employee who is
on strike, took place about 4.30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Larue
claims he was hit on the back of
the head by Smith. According to
those who saw the fracas, Larue
retaIiated by hitting Smith over
the eye and knocking him down.
DR.. Cheney attended Larue, who
had a cash over the eye, his face
was scratched and his shoulder
Wrenched.
Late last night Alfred w. Fau-
faw of East Burke, who had taken
d place at the car shops, was re-
ported to have been attacked by
two men near the Folsom Crossing
one mile north of the village, Fau
faw is reported to have been so
severely beaten up that he did not
return to work.
Yesterday noon a crowd of boys
and girls, many of them children
of the men out on strike and
others who 1ympathize with the
strikers, armed with tin pans, fol-
lowed some of the workers at the
shops from the plant to the post
office. The demonstration was re-
peated yesterday afternoon when
the workers came from the shops.
Rumors of the demonstration
staged by the women for 12
o'clock today were unfounded, as
aside from the usual number of
people in the park and picketing,
there was no disturbance.
Officers from st. Johnsbury are
expected here this afternoon to in

BOUT COESFULL
TWELVE ROUNDS

RINGSIDE, JEREY CITY, N.
J. July 28-Benny Leonard,
worlds lightweight champion,
successfully defended his title
against Lew Tender OF Philadel-
phia in a twelve-round-no-decision
contest last night, earning in the
opinion of majority of sport
writers at the 1lngside a narrow
shade in a great struggle.
The challenger, a left handler,
furnished the champion the most
interesting combat he has had
since he turned back Willie Richie
some years ago. 1t appeared in the
first four rounds lhat Tender was
to have things ali his own way.
Then Leonard, called "the Sharp
Shooter" steaded himself and be-
gan to find a mark. He carried
the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds
in a burst of speed, and looked
himself. In the seventh round his
mouth bumned Tenders shoulder
and he lost false tooth.
The eight round found Tender
on the aggressive again.
The ninth Vas an even round
and in the last three Leonard APP
peared to have shade.
All during his training he had be
Titled Tenders pugilistic record
and predicted that he would finish
the Philadelphian within seven
rounds Tender, 700, had said that
he would win By a knockout but
he had nothing to say of this to-
night. He said he was satisfied
with his showing and would seek
an engagement with Leonard in
decision match.
