goes. Wherever men chance to gather
the commonplaces of small talk inva
riably lead by devious but sure paths to
a subject appertaining to the war. Barre
has always been strongly pro-ally and
almost from the outset the war has been
responsible for the vacant chair in many
a household. Long before Baire gave
two companies to the state National
Guard and long before this city was cred
ited with the largest enrollment of naval
recruits in the state, men from here
were going overseas to fight the battles
of democracy. Assuredly the war has
come to be a more vital thing since the
entry of the United States and there has
been a quickening of patriotic zeal on all
sides, but not for a moment since the
storm burst in August, 1014, has Barre
looked upon the struggle with detached
interest nor has its outlook been that of
the unconcerned observer.

Dividing the Vermont regiment in the

a severe shock to sentiment and has
been severely criticised by some Vermont
people. Putting regiments in the United
