MONEY ORDER COMES
BACK IN SIX YEARS
Charles Naetsch Addressed it to Ger
many. but it Was Not Deliver
abIe-"Governmen Honest.

Six years ago this week Friday
Charles Vaetsch of Brattleboro depos-
tied in the local postofiice money order
for 81 which he addressed to relative
living in Germany Yesterday he re-
cCived communication from the post
Office advising him that the money order
was unbelievable and that the 50 was
awaiting him Mt the local office. Mr..
VoetSch obtained the money this morn
ing.
Just why the money never reached
Germany Mr.. Naetsch was at a loss to
explain. except that he said that the
war doubtless prevented the money from
going into Germany from 1916 to 1918;
and after that year. the financial condi-
tionS in Germany may have had some
thing to do with the matter.
AT any rate Mr.. Vaetsch said, ''the
incident shows that the government is
honest"

of its workings to be afraid.
The Harvard college office, TO which
Clay reported the threats, advised him
they were undoubtedly part of a Joke
and today let it be known that it re-
garded the matter in that light The
police, TO whom also Clay went for pro-
lection, refused his request for a permit
to go armed. and said the case seemed to
be one for the college authorities to
handle. The police. however, turned
over to postal officials the warning let
ter which was mailed here.
Clay. who is president of the Harvard
Golf association and veteran of the
World war. said today that this was not
his first experience with the Klan. He

The indications. as seen here, are that
the policy will not be materially different

ROLL CALL TO
BE MADE MONDAY
Red Cross Local Chairman, Mrs. Morgan
Sherman. Hopes 10 Raise Full
Quota CT Sf.666 that Day.

An intensive one-day campaign has
been decided upon for the annual Red
Cross roll call in Brattleboro it was an
nounced today by the local chairman,
Mrs Morgan Sherman.
The present plan contemplates cam
vass to be made by large corps OF so
licitors Monday morning, Nov. q, and
an effort will be made TO raise the entire
quota of Sl.666 before noon that day
Ii is the hope of the committee that every
family in Brattleboro will be listed in
the membership. Those who do not ex-
pect TO be at home are asked TO leave
their contribution in order that the can
vaSser may make 4 complete return and
that ii will not be necessary 10 do any
follOw-up work. Headquarters will be
maintained in the vacant store on Main
street, formerly occupied by Clapp <
Jones. all day Saturday and Monday for
the convenience of persons from the out
lying districts or those who do not ex
peet to be at home Monday morning.
While the Red Cross membership tee
is bur 81 il is hoped that many win make
contributions of 80 or sic. as the larger
amount means much more in proportion
for local work. Half of each dollar
membership goes to national organlza-
ton, while but 80 cents out Of 50 or
SO membership goes To the national or
ganiZation. leaving $3.50 or $3.50, as the
ease may be, for the treasury of the local
branch.
Last year approximately $1,000 was
raised in Brattleboro. OF that amount
nne-half was sent 10 the national organ
ization. The money kept in town was
used for ID civilian relief among ex-sol-
diers' families; {2) to help pay the sal
