Chance For Vermont Boys

Competitive examinations for Yer
mont boys who may be anxious to Sc
cure appointments to the United States
military and naval academies will be
held at Norwich University, North
field, beginning Friday, November "a.
These examinations will be for one APP
pointment to West Point and two to
Annapolis, to be made by Senator Car
roll S. Page to whom further inquiry
concerning the examinations SHOULD be
made.
ANY Vermont boy desiring to com
pete in this examination may rest
assured that these appointments will
be made solely upon the results there
of and ABSOLUTELY independent of polit-
ical or other influences. The compel
itors who rank highest will receive ap-
pointments as principals and other al
ternates in accordance with their rank.
There is no doubt about it that ap-
pointmentS to the military or naval
academies represent a chance to secure
the best physical and mental training
it is in the power of the country to
give. Nor do these appointments
necessarily entail lifelong service in
the army or navy after completion Of
the course of instruction. 1t IS, how
ever, something to have been gradual
ed from West Point or Annapolis and
the benefits to be derived from the
training are such as to make the goal
of appointment one well worthy OF at
tainment Burlington News.

Forbes And Owsley Confer

Relations between Col. Charles r
Forbes, director of the T. S. Veterans
Bureau and the American Legion have
returned to a basis of mutual under
standing and respect through the
efforts of Col. Forbes and Commander
Alvin Owsley The unfortunate cir
CumstanCes which brought about Col
Forbes hasty departure from New
Orleans on the day he was to have ad-
dressed the American Legion Conven-
ton are now regarded as a thing of
the past Reports that Col Forbes
expected to resign from the Veterans
Bureau and take a position OF even
greater importance i'll the administra-
ton of President Harding have been
temporarily laid at rest. Col Forbes
is busy directing the Veterans Bureau,
and so far as known will continue 20
direct it.
The real facts which caused Col
Forbes to quit New Orleans in the
midst of the Legion convention nave
never been published, and have no. in
fact been known to many persons.
Col Forbes and members OF MS staff
at the Veterans Bureau have felt it
beneath their sense Of personal honor
to discuss the affair The Legion peo-
Pile who knew of it have felt that to
publicly discuss it would only make
matters worse.
Hence newspaper writers were not
told the real facts, and they have only
recently become known outside the
circle in which they transpired The
publication of these facts now can do
no harm and may serve to clear up the
more or less mysterious departure of
Col Forbes from New Orleans.
1t has been believed that Col Forbes
left New Orleans because of the pub
lie statement by William f. Deegan, of
New York, in which Deegan suggested
that the Veterans Bureau was oppos-

Press Comment
Bringing 1t Home

A Michigan judge is offering some
thing different as a cure for speed
bugs. Not content with imposing fines
and jail sentences on speeders, after
the court sessions he personally con-
ducts the offenders through the hospi-
tails where traffic accident cases are
being treated. The speeders see little
children crippled for life, old people
who have been turned from feebleness
to helplessness, and the mainstays of
families made dependents. Almost
without exception, it is said, the Of
tenders end their journey in tears of
shame and sorrow as they realize the
sort of havoc their kind of selfshness
creates. This Judge has found that
such a lesson lasts; that it is seldom
enough simply to forbid or to admin
lister abstract punishment Brattle-

was fumbled, Vermont recovering
Banging by Beck and Johnson took the
pigskin down to the five yard line,
where Semansky carried over Again,
later in the game, Hollquist dropped a
punt way down next to his goal and
Semansky recovered, scoring on the
play.
In the last half Middlebury made
her most impressive advance, advanc-
ing on the passing game and, trick
plays for three first downs. The ad-
vance finally was brought to a finish
by an intercepted pass by Margolski.
Vermont then started for the Middle
bury goal, using Gooch around end,
forward passes and plunges by Beck
and Johnson to bring the score up to
10 to 0.
1t was in the last quarter that Beck
displayed his skill at open field run
ming. During the last of the game the

pened several days before Col. Forbes
left the convention, and was publicly
denied by Col. Forbes at the time. 1t
was indeed a closed incident long be
fore Col. Forbes departure.
Neither was the report of the Legion's
rehabilitation committee responsible
for Col. Forbes action, nor yet the
criticism of Brig. Gen. Sawyer The
latter episode, in fact, eliminated al
ter Forbes had gone. But Col Forbes
while obviously not wholly pleased
with any of these episodes, is Suffi-
GENTLY familiar with public life not to
become excited about criticism of the
Veterans Bureau or any other govern
ment function He had gone to New
Orleans as the guest of the Legion. at
the invitation of Commander Mac
Nider, and had taken several depart
ment heads of the bureau with him, in
order better to cooperate with the
Legion and its committees.
1t was in one of the committee SEES
Sions that the real trouble between the
Legion and Col. Forbs broke out The
IA district chairmen of the Legion dis
trict rehabilitation committees and the
IA liaisOn men of the Legion were in a
special meeting with officials of the
bureau, when at least two, and possibly
more, of the district chairmen made di-
rect and personal allegations about
Col. Forbes and his conduct of such
nature that the bureau representatives
present became thoroughly indignant
The statements or charges, or allega-
tons which were made were obviously
not subject to proof.
They were decidedly personal toward
Col Forbes, and not official or regard
ing the bureau That they came from
districts whose convention votes fav-
ored Col. Deegan may or may not have
had ANYTHING to do with the case.
The Veterans Bureau department
promptly left the meeting and reported
the affair to Col. Forbes These Off
Gals of the bureau recommended that
the director and his assistants leave
the convention and the city unless
there was a prompt apology from the
National Commander of the Legion.
They Indignantly asserted that since
Col Forbes was at New Orleans by IL
vitation of the Legion, and was thus
insulted in a Legion committee when
he was not present, it was up to the
Legion to formally apologize, and also
