COUNTY RED CROSS
$2250 OVERSUBSCRIBED.
Every Branch - Makes Splendid Rec
ord. Irasburg, Newport Town
and Westmore Deserve
Special Credit.
Orleans county outdid itself in the
Red Cross War Fund drive which
closed Monday night, and thereby
added another record to the many it
has already made in doing its share
in the work of carrying on the war in
all its phases.
A county assignment of $8000
seemed large for a second Red Cross
war fund gift but a final accounting
will show county gifts to be well
over $10,000, more than a 25 over
subscription. In the first drive about
a year ago the county gave $7397,
but many places were not 'organized.
This time every town has given
as a detailed report below shows.
This report is not claimed to be ab
solute and complete but gives a very
accurate idea of what each place has
done.

fVoted from War Chest.
Canvass incomplete. In both
places commencement interfered with
canvass but the county chairman is
assured that each will exceed its quo
fa, Craftsbury by a very substantial
amount.
Places without Red Cross branches
were assigned amounts with branches
worked, and as near as possible to
determine (gifts from some of these
places were divided between differ
ent branches) such places have rais
ed money as follows:
Assigned Raised
Holland $ 75 $ 75
Jay 40 20
Westfield 100 107
Brownington 100 ' 100
Morgan 75 75
South Troy was not assigned sep
arately from the town but gave $104
toward the Missisquoi branch assign
ment and about $20 toward the Low
ell assignment.
A surprising feature of this drive
is the fact that a very large propor
tion of the amounts are cash gifts,
the pledges for future payment as
provided being almost negligible.
County Treasurer C. S. Webster of
Barton is busy receiving accountings
from the town chairmen who are
making immediate returns. The
money is held in the Barton bank
pending a call for it by W. G. Mc
Adoo, treasurer of the National Red
Cross war fund.
Town chairmen are deserving
much credit for the enthusiastic,
careful and thorough manner in
which they have applied themselves

TRANSPORT TORPEDOED,
COUNTY BOYS LOST.
Three County Boys Lose Life on Fat
ed Moldavia. Other Local
Men Saved.
Clyde and Erwin Bosley, of Jay,
sons of Mr. and Mrs. William Bosley,
and Maurice Sweatland of Albany,
son of Alfred Sweatland, lost -their
lives when a German torpedo sunk
the British transport Moldavia, in
the English channel Thursday.
There were other Orleans county
boys on the boat but they escaped
with several hundred who were saved
by life boats. Fifty-three in all lost
their lives, the only Vermonters be
ing county boys. All who were lost
were members of Co. B, 58th Infan
try of the fourth division of the reg
ular, army, and many Orleans county
boys are. members of Co. B.
Reports 'state that the Bosley
brothers were on deck guard when
the ship was struck. There was a
sharp list, and they evidently believ
ed the boat was turning over and
jumped. Search was made for them
but they were not seen after they
jumped overboard, and it is believed
they might have been saved from
drowning had they not jumped. All
others who lost their lives, including
Sweatland were thought to have
been on the lower deck and were
killed by the explosion of the torpedo
itself instead of drowning.
The Bosleys and Sweatland left for
Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C, Feb.
22, as three of 17 volunteers from
Orleans county at that time. Clyde
Bosley was 21 and Erwin 23. They
were born and brought up in the
Missisquoi Valley and are survived
besides their parents by three broth
ers, Walter, James and Fred and two
half-brothers, Frank of Jay and Geo.
Bosley of Newport Center.
Young Sweatland is survived by
two brothers and two sisters, besides,
his father. His mother died several
years ago. He had worked in sev
eral places and when he left for mili
tary training was working in Crafts
bury. Both families have received official
notice of the loss which makes the
first death of Orleans county boys by
direct enemy action. Five other
county boys have died in the service
of disease.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.
It's the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are Iso
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to se
cure some wheat from Argentina,
On January 1, Australia had
stored 100.000,000 bushels ot
wheat that was ready for ex
port tmt there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of 80,000,
000 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 180,000,000 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
70,000,000 bushels of wheat
stored foj export During April
50,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 11,000,000
'bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,000,000 to
the left over.
It is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world It Is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid
ing our stock with the Allies.
