NEW YORK, Nov. S.-There
that 100000 gift Col. Henry H.
Rogers gave his daughter, Millicent,
when she wed her sheik from the
Argentine pampas, Arturo Peralta
Ramos, on Monday.
One of the strings IL that the
gift was in the form of trust
fund and that the handsome Arturo
and the romantic Millicent must
live on the interest.
But besides that, not only Arturo
but the fair Millicent as well signed
waivers to all future claims to the
Rogers estate. estimated to total
$40. 900, 900.
Thus the cautious Colonel Rogers
is said to have assured himself
against another such predicament
as that in which he was placed
when Millicent wanted to rid her
self Of the marital embrace of
Count Salm.
The interest from $500, 900 sounds
a lot-about $4,000 a year--but
it's hardly pin money to what Mill.

BOSTON, Nov. 9.-Under leaden
skies that threatened more rain

went about the work of rebuilding
homes, highways, railroads and in.

Vermont faced an almost Hercu.
lean task, with the need of cash
paramount and the menace Of
disease almost as great as that of
the water that laid waste great Sec

incubation, whether you like it or
not, was the rule in the flood areas
Of Vermont today. Forcible inocula-
ton against typhoid was reported
In several Vermont towns.
Gov. John E. Weeks had his re.
mobilization machine in operation
In the form of emergency COM
mrtees. Because Of the washed-out
highways and railroads, the calling

legislature was out of the question.

crying need today in Vermont
was cash from the outside.
By motor truck and airplane food
was being rushed into Vermont
Three food and clothing trucks went
from st. Adams unGer heavy guard
Tor Barton and Orleans via Canada.
They were manned by Red Cross
workers.
Planes to Drop 1t
Army airplanes left Boston this
forenoon to drop food to marooned
towns. One plane carried mail,
opening a regular schedule for Yer
mont mail to Fort Ethan Allen.
Maj. Gen. Preston Brown, com
mander Of the first corps area was
in the mail plane to make a more
detailed survey of Vermont. On the
outcome of his observations future
air distribution depends.
AS far as could be learned the
total death toll of the New England
flood was 16S. but more bodies may
be found above Waterbury, VT, and
the Little River section for mud
there in places is 10 feet deep.
Waterbury had a difficult task
In burying her head. for all collins
In town had been used as rowboats
Many residents left Waterbury and
village authorities appealed to them
to return.
Rochester, VT. continued to be
isolated today and a typhoid cpl
demic was feared.
Pleasure automobile riding. where
possible. was under the ban in Yer
mont, all gasoline being rationed to
trucks. and automobiles of doctors
and nurses.

Connecticut and New Hampshire
were also returning to normalcy.
Springfield. VT, reported today
that flood damage in that town,
first estimated to be in the vicinity
of a. half million dollars, will reach
only about half that amount.

Guernsey farm where we saw some
nice Guernseys.
There are very few silos down
south. They are just starting to grow
alfalfa. In good year they cut the
alfalfa seven times and get an aver
age of six tons per acre each cutting.
At the National Dairy Show there
were about $4,000 dairy cattle. These
were only Guernseys, Holsteins, Jer-
seys, and Ayrshires. The fair grounds
of Memphis is about the same as
Minneapolis; it is almost city of
itself. Tuesday we had barbecue
dinner on the fair grounds. There
were between four and five hundred
club members there and believe me.
there was some yelling and some
stunts pulled off. Minnesota took
third prize on their stunt and the
demonstration and the Judging teams
both took second place.
Wednesday we had the honor Of
visiting Mayor Paign of Memphis in
his office where he gave us very
interesting talk. Memphis has a
population of about 100000 and so

hours. We arrived at St. Louis in
the morning of Thursday, Oct. 90.
We then hired three takes which
took us around through the tornado
stricken section which looked most
terrible. St. Louis has a population
of about $4,000. We then boarded
another train for Chicago and arrived
there at 4:35 p. m. We then FASTENED

weeks most wonderful trip, which

Forward for Peace

Three great military figures of the
World War-General Pershing, Mar
shall Foch, and General Gouraud-
at the American Legion convention in
Paris, joined in a stirring appeal for
perpetual peace:
''This thought of the abolition of
war is filling the minds of thoughtful
men everywhere. Those, who, like
the men of this Legion, know what
war is, are wondering why the code
of honor that prevails among indi-
viduals cannot be made to operate
between governments. If stealing and
lying are wrong and illegal between
men, why not between nations?'-
General Pershing.
"You have placed the Legion on the
upward march to right and justice.
You have opened a vast horizon of
happiness to the world of industry,
peace and fraternity.
''My dear comrades, no other coun-
try will understand you better than
FRANCE. In the Gays OF anguish, Fer
shing came leading the American
Army and said, Lafayette, we are
here. Today, when France dresses
her wounds, the American Legion
says, Forward for peace and liberty
together and forever!'
where is the Frenchman who
would not answer this call?"-Mar-
shall Foch.
ITO imagine that victorious French
men who have suffered so much from
the war and still endure its heavy
consequences can consider its return
would be to lack either common sense
or good faith. General Gouraud.
