AMONG THE VERMONTERS.
Some Facts About Those Named in Cas
ualties. The sketch of Harry McAllister's life,
the young man whose name appeared as
killed in action in the casualty lists Mon
day, has already appeared in the county
papers. His mother is the widow of the
late 0. J. McAllister, who lived for some
years in Montpelier.
Arthur Tatro and Henry Tatro, the
first killed and the second wounded, an-,
sons of Mrs. Minnie Tatro of St. Albans.
Arthur enlisted in Company B, 1st Ver
mont regiment, and was transferred to
the 103d machine gun battalion. He was
killed, according to a previous report, on
Nov, 3. Henry enlisted through the same
organization and, like his brother, was a
private in the 103d machine gun battal
ion. Allen Knight of St. Johnsbury arrived
home before the official notice came that
he was .wounded. He enlisted in Com
pany D and was transferred to the 102d
machine gun battalion.
Nick Sudier, wounded slightly, regis
tered in Colchester in the draft and went
to Camp Dcvcus last May. He was as
signed to the 10th company of the 5th
battalion in the depot brigade.
Harry G. Rugg of Bennington, as far
as the records at the State House show,
must have enlisted outside the state. He
was reported killed in action.
. PROBABLYNOT MISSING
Although Private Orson J. Reynolds of
Georgia Is So Listed.
St. Albans, Dec. 3.Although Pvt. Or
son J. Reynolds is reported missing in ac
tion since Oct. 2, it was learned to-day
at the home of his father, John W. Rey
nolds, in Georgia, that a letter dated Oct.
27 had been received by friends in that
town. Mr. Reynolds himself has not
heard ffom his son since he went overseas
last August and although he has written
his son, the young man in the letter re
ceived said he wondered why he had not
heard from home.
Pvt. Reynolds, who is 20 years old,
owned ft" cattle, ranch in Hannah, Wyo.
Early last summer he went to Washing
ton and enlisted but when Company E,
3(i2d infantry, of which he was a mem
ber, went overseas, he was ill in a hos
pital with pneumonia. In the recent let
ter received by (inorgia friends he wrote
that ho had been separated from his
company much of the time and it is in
ferred that he has not lieen well.
He has three, brothers, Carl II. Rey.
nolds, a limited service man, who has
been sent from the mobilization camp at
Syracuse, N. Y., to Camp Dix, N. J., to
await his discharge, and Arthur and

PRESIDENT APPEALS i
TO CONGRESS FOR AID'
Full Text of Wilson's Ad
dress Monday After
noon" Is Given
Washington, D. C, Dec. 3. The com
plete text of the address by President
Wilson before the joint assembly of .Con
gress Monday afternoon just prior to his.
proposed departure for Europe to attend
the peace conference was as follows:-
The President's Address.
The president said :
Gentlemen of the Congress: The year
that has elapsed since I last stood before
you to fulfill my constitutional duty to
give Congress from time to time infor
mation on the state of the union has
been so crowded with great events, gTeat
processes and great results, that I cannot
hope to give you an adequate picture of
its transactions or of the far-reaching
changes which have been wrought incite
life of our nation and of the world. You
have yourselves witnessed these things,
as I have. It is too soon to assess themj
and we who stand in the midst of them
and are part of them ere less qualified
than men of another generation will be
to say what they mean or even what
they have been. But some great, out
standing facts are unmistakable and con
stitute in a sense part of the public busi
ness with which it is our duty to deal.
To state them is to set the stage for the
legislative and executive action which
must grow out of them and which we
have yet to shape and determine.
A year ago we had sent 145,108 men
overseas . Since, then we have sent 1,050,
513, an average of 162,5-12 each month,
the number in fact rising in May last to
245,951, in June to 287,700, in July to
307,182, and continuing to reach similar
figures in August and September in
August 289,570 and in September 2.r7,438.
No such movement of troops every took
place before across 3,000 miles of sea,
followed by adequate equipment and aup-
Siies, and carried safely through extraor
inary dangers of attack dangers which
were alike strange and infinitely difficult
to guard against. In all this movement
only 758 men were lost by enemy attacks
630 or whom were upon a single Eng
lish transport which was sunk near the
Orkney islands. !
I need not tell you what lay back of
this great movement of men and mate
rial. It is not invidious to say that back
of it lay a supporting organization of the
industries of the country and of all its
productive activities more complete, more
thorough in method and effective in re
sults, more spirited and unanimous in
purpose and effort, than any other great
belligerent had ever been able to effect.
We profited greatly by the experience of
the nations which' had already been en
gaged for nearly three years in the exi
gent and exacting business with cverv- re
source and every executive proficiency
taxed to the utmost. We were the pupils.
But we learned quickly and acted with
promptness and a readiness of co-operation
that justify our great pride that we
were able to serve the world with unpar
alleled energy and quick accomplishment.
Hut It is not the physical scale and
executive efficiency of preparation, sup
ply, equipment and dispatch that I
would dwell upon, but the mettle and
quality of the officers and men we sent
over and of the sailors who kept the
seas, and the spirit of the nation that
stood behind them. No soldiers or sail
ors ever proved themselves more quickly
ready for the test of battle or acquitted
themselves with more splendid courage
and achievement when put to the tet.
Those of us who played some part in
directing the great processes by which
the war was pushed irresistibly forward
to the final triumph may now forget all
that and delight our thoughts with the
story of what our men did. Their offi
cers understood the grim and exacting
task they had undertaken and were per
formed with audacity, eflicieney and un
henitating courage that touched the story
of convoy and battle with imperishable
distinction at every turn, whether the
enterprise were great or small from
their chiefs, Pershing and Sims, down to
the youngest lieutenant; and their men
were worthy of them such men as
hardly need to be commanded, and go to
their horrible adventure blithely and
with the quick intelligence of those who
know just what it is they would accom
plish. I am proud to be the fellow country
man of men of such stuff and valor.
Those of us who stayed at home did our
duty; the war could not have been won
or the gallant men who fought it given

While the recent grip epidemic appears to have ended, doctors agree that it is
quite likely to return and in fact there have already been renewed outbreaks of the
disease in various cities.

Medicine, which has had over sixty years of successor colds and in the building of

Rut if you have had the grip you are still in danger.
The, getting-well stage of grip is the most dangerous of all because the body,
weakened by the grip, is wide open to attacks of other lurking disease germs.
That is why all the organs of the body must be kept in their best working
order, not only to drive out the poison left by the grip germ, but that the patient
shall regain strength as soon as possible to avoid further attacks resulting from
the poisons in the system. . .

but f()T many a long day we shall think
ourselves "accurs'd we were not there,
and hold our manhood cheap while any
speaks that fought," with these at St.
Mihicl or Thierry. The memory of those
days of triumphant battle will go with
these fortunate men to their gravps; and
each will have his favorite memory. "Old
men forget; yet all shall be forgot, but
he'll remember with advantages what
feats he did that day!"
What we all thank God for with deep
est gratitude, is that our men went in
force into the line of battle just at the
critical moment when the whole fate of
the world seemed to hang in the balance
and threw their fresh strength into the
ranks of freedom in time to turn the
whole tide and sweep of the fateful
Btruggle turn it once for all, so that
henceforth it was back, back, back .for
their enemies, always back, never again
forward! After that it was only a scant
four months before the commanders of
the central empires knew themselves
beaten and now their very empires are
in liquidation! ,
And through it all, how fine the spirit
of the nation was. What unity of pur
pose, what untiring seal! What eleva
tion of purpose ran through all its splen
did display of strength and untiring ac
complishment. I have said that those of
us who stayed at home to do the work
of organization and supply will always
wish that we had been with the men
whom we sustained by our labor; but
we can never be ashamed. It has been
an inspiring thing to be here in the midst
of fine men who had turned aside from
every private interest of their own and
devoted the whole of their trained ca
pacity to the tasks that supplied the
sinews of the whole great undertaking!
The patriotism, the unselfishness, the
thorough -going devotion and distin
guished capacity that marked their toil
some labors day after day, month after
month, have made them fit mates and
comrades of the men in the trenches and
on the sea, and not the men here in
Washington only. They have-but direct
ed the vast achievement. Throughout
innumerable factories, upon Innumerable
farms, in the depths of coal mines and
iron mines and copper mines, wherever
the stuffs of industry were to be obtained
and prepared, in the ship yards, on the
railways, at the docks, on . the sea, in
every labor that was needed to sustain
the battle lines, men have vied with each
other to do their part and do it well.
They can look' any man-at-arms in the
face and say, We also strove to win and
gave the best that was in us to make
our fleets and armies sure oftheir tri
umph! And what shall we say of the women
of their instant intelligence, quickening
every task that they touched; their ca
pacity for organization and co-operation,
which gave their action discipline and
enacted the effectiveness of everything
they attempted; their aptitude at tasks
to which they had never before set their
hands: their utter self-sacrifice alike in
'what they did and in what they gave!
Their contribution to the great result is
beyond appraisal. They have added a
new lustre to the annals of American
womanhood.
The latest tribute we can pay thera is
to make them the equals of men in po
litical rights as they have proved them
selves their equals in every field of prac
tical work the,y have entered, whether
for " themselves or for their country.
These gTeat days of completed achieve
ments would be sadly marred were we to
omit that act of justice. Besides the im
mense practical services they have ren
dered, the women of the country have

such a story can never be fully written,
but we carry them at our hearts and
thank Uod that we can say' that we are
the kinsmen of such.
And now we are sure of the great tri
umph for which every sacrifice was made.
It has come, come in its completeness;
and with the pride, and inspiration of
these dnys of achievement quick within
us we turn to. the tasks of peace again a
peace secure against the violence of ir
responsible monarchs and ambitious mili
tary coteries, and made ready for a new
order, for new foundations of justice and
fair dealing. ,
We are about to' give order and organ
ization to this peace, not only for our
selves but for the other peojiies of the
world as well, so far as they will suffer
us to serve them, lt is international jus
tice that we seek, not domestic safety
merely. Our .thoughts have dwelt of late
upon Europe, upon Asia, upon the near
and the far East, very little upon the
acts of peace and accommodation that
wait to be. performed at our own doors.
While we are adjusting our relations
with the rest of the world is it not of
capital importance that we should clear
away all grounds of misunderstanding
with our immediate neighbors and give
proof of the friendship we really feel t
I hope that the members of the Senate
will permit me to Bpcak once more of
the unratified treaty of friendship and
adjustment with the republic of Colom
bia. I very earnestly urge upon them an
early jnd favorable action upon that vi-'
tal matter. I believe that they will feel,;
with me, that the stage of affairs is now ;
set for such action as will be not only i
just but generous and in the spirit of ;
the new age upon which we have so hap-
pily entered. j
So far as our domestic affairs are con
cerned, the problem of our return to!
peace is a problem of economic and in-1
dustrial readjustment. That problem is
less serious for us than it may turn out :
to be for the nations which have suffered !
the disarrangements and the losses of thf
war longer than we. Our people, more-i
over, are quick and resourceful at every
readjustment, definite in purpose and
self-reliant in action. Any leading)
strings we might seek to put them in i
would speedily become hopelessly tangled
because they would pay no attention to
them and go their own way. !
AH that we can do as their legislative
and executive servants is to mediate the
process of change here, there, and else-
where as we may. I have heard much i
counsel as to the plans that should be :
formed and personally conducted to
happy consummation, but from no quar
ter have I seen any general scheme of
"reconstruction" emerge which I thought
it likely we could force our spirited busi
ness men and self-reliant laborers to ac
cept with due pliancy and obedience.
While the war lasted we set up many
agencies by which to direct the indus
tries of the country in the services it was
necessary, for them to render, by which
to make sure of an abundant supply of
the materials needed, bv which to check
undertakings that could for the time be'
dispensed with andstimulate those that
were most serviceable in war, by whieh
to gain for the purchasing departments
of the government a certain control over
the prices of essential articles and ma
terials, by which to restrain trade with
alien enemies, make the most of the
available shipping and systematize finan
cial transactions, both public and private,
so that there would be no unnecessary
conflict of confusion by which, in short,
to put every material energy of the coun
try in harness to draw the common load
and make of us one team in the accom
plishment of a great task. But the mo
ment we knew the armistice to have
been signed, we took the harness off.
Raw materials upon which the govern
ment had kept its hand for fear there
should not be enough for the industries
that supplied the armies have been re- j
leased and put into the general market
again. Great industrial plants whose
whole output and machinery had been
taken over for the uses of the govern
ment have been set free to return to the
uses to which they were put before the
war. It has not been possible to remove
so readily or so quickly the control of
foodstuffs and of shipping because the
world has still to be fed from our gran
aries, and the ships are still needed to
send supplies to our men overseas and
to bring the men back as fast as the
disturbed conditions on the other side of
the water permit; but even there re
straints are .being relaxed as much as
possible and more and more as the weeks
go by.
Xever before have there been agencies
in existence in this country which knew
so much of the field of supply, of labor,
and of industry as the war industries
board, the war trade board, the labor de
partment, the food administration and
the fuel administration have known since
the labors became thoroughly systema
tized; and they have not been isolated
agencies; they have been directed by men
that represented the permanent depart
ments of the government and so have
been the centers of unified and co-operative
action. It has been the policy of
the executive, therefore, since the armi
stice was assured (which is in effect a
complete submission of the enemy), to
put the knowledge of these bodies at the
disposal of the business men of the coun
try, and to offer their intelligent media
tion at every point and in every matter
where it was desired. It is surprising
how fast the process of return to a peac?
footing has moved In the three weeks
since the fighting stopped. It promise
to outrun any inquiry that may be in
stituted and any aid that may be offered.
It will not be easy to direct it any bet
ter than it will direct itself. The Amer
ican business man is of quick initiative.
The ordinary and normal processes of
private initiative, will not, however, pro
vide immediate employment for all of
the men of our returning armies. Those
who are ottrained capacity, those who
are skilled workmen, those who have
acquired familiarity with established
business, those who arc ready and will
ing to go to the farms, all those whose
aptitudes are known or will be sought
out by employers, will find no difficulty,
it is safe to say, in finding place and
employment. But there will he others
who will be at a loss where to gain a
livelihood unless pains are taken to guid
them and put them in the way of work.
There will be a large floating residuum
of labor which should not bo left wholly
to shift for itself. It seems to me im
portant, therefore, that the development
of public works of every sort should be
promptly resumed, in order that oppor
tunities should be created for unskilled
labor in particular and that plans should
be made for such developments of our
unused lands and our natural resources
as we have hitherto lacked stimulation
to undertake.
I particularly direct your attention to
the very practical plans which the secre
tary of the interior has developed in his
annual report and before your commit
tees for reclamation of the arid, swamp
and cut-over lands, which might, if the
states were willing and able to co-operate,
redeem some three hundred million
acres of land for cultivation. There art!
said to be fifteen or twenty million acres
of bmd ia the west at present ari, for
1918.

The New Idea of Service
There is a new idea of service in business
now: at least there ought to be. To us war
time service means this: To urge that men
buy only the clothes they need ; when they do
buy, to give them the quality that saves, be
cause it lasts long; to refund gladly your
money if we fail to satisfy you.
One of the best ways we know of really serv
ing is through Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes; they're made in the same spirit that
we sell them; they'll serve you the way you
want clothes to serve ; satisfactorily and eco
nomically. , ' i

whose reclamation water is available,
properly conserved. There are about two
hundred and thirty
million acres from
which the forests have been cut hut
which have never yet been cleared for
the plow and which lie waste and deso
late. These lie scattered all over the
union. And there are nearly eighty mil
lion acres of land that lie under swamps
or subject to periodical overflow or too
wet for anything but grazing, which it is
perfectly feasible to drain and protect
and redeem. The Congress can at once
direct thousands of the returning soldiers
to the reclamation of the and lands,
which it has already undertaken, if it
will but enlarge the plans and the ap-

It is possible in dealing with our un
used land to effect a great rural and ag
ricultural development which will afford
the best sort of opportunity to met, who
want to help themselves, and the secre

while, be exercised over shipping because
