sion of the armistice negotiations. Pri
vate Gregoire went to Camp Devens May
25 and sailed overseas with the 76th in

formed his parents that he was in an

Spaulding'g monthly periodical, The
Sentinel, stablihed last year, made its
reappearance to-day with a new board of
editors in charge. Publication of the
first Sentinel in the school year of 1018
19 was necessarily delayed by the same
factor that disturbed the school curricu
lum earlier in the fall influenza. The
editors, incidentally, pay, their -respects
to the Flu in the December number.. Evi
dently not all of the talent which mafle
last year's Sontinol both breezy and belli
cose has graduated, for the initial num
ber of the present school yeafbears out
the best of the little journal's young
traditions. In addition some improve
ments are to be noticed. Orreste E. Gian
ni, whose artistic talent is reflected in
some of the cuts, is the editor, and Frank
II. Wells is the business manager. The
December issue contains a sketch, of the
new principal and an interesting review
of war poetry by Miss Mary Shorey.
The recent visit of CapUA. A. Stockdale
is happily recalled. Hpaulding has a
lengthy obituary list as the result of the
influenza plague. Alumni notes are pro
fuse. The Sentinel has few lacks. One
of them is the frontispiece that will give
the stranger an adequate idea of the new
Spaulding in its physical aspects.

It is expected now that the Washing
ton county local board of exemption will
close up its books on Dec. 0 and seal the
records on the 10th, as prescribed by a
recent order from, the war department.
Probably the food administration will
ha,ve the three rooms that the local board
has been using in the federal building in
Montpelier. Postmaster B. E. Bailey is in
communication with the postal depart
ment relative to the arrangements for
the food department having the rooms.
The department has UBed the clerk's
rooms attached to the House of Repre
sentatives in the State House. It is un
derstood that the fuel department, which
has used the rooms near the secretary of
state's office in the Sate House, will
take rooms in the Colonial, which are to
be vacated by the state engineer the last
of this week or the first of next. ,..
The moving of clerical help in theof
fice of the secretary of state from Mor
risville to Montpelier Monday causes
speculation as to the number of persons
who will be employed about the State
House when all of the departments arrive
at the rooms allotted them in the old
building and the new building. There
will be almost 100 of them, and if the
coming legislature follows tho example of
its predecessors, it will make commis
sions enough so that there will be a hun
dred employed. This does not include the
janitors and workmen, which would prob
ably make it over 100 now. Those who
came here in tyie secretary of state's of
fice are Misses Leonids Graney, Margaret
Hickey, Mabel Davis, May and -Mabel
Thompson, Adelaide Teachout, and Wil
liam S. Teachout. These, added to the
present force of Deputy Rawson Myrick,
Misses Madge Warren and Dora Edson,
make a total of a dozen.
The federal" director of railroads has
placed the men employed in the ticket
o(!iy in Montpelier and those in charge
of the work at the station in- Montpelier
Junction on the eight-hour basis, along
with many other of the telegraphers on
the line, it resulted In a rearrangement
of the hours of labor for the men at
both stations. The "tricks'' are now
changed so that the day man goes to
work at 10 in the morning, the night
man at 6 in the evening, and the morning
man at 2 o'clock. Instead of 4 o'clock,
while at Montpelier Junction the day
man goes to work at 0 o'clock, the even
ing man at 5 o'clock, and the night man
at 1 o'clock in the morning. This change
arranges matters so all the men at the
Junction can ride to and from their work
on a train. Heretofore they had to walk
in nearly each instance, or wait for a
train if they were coming to their room
ing places.

Mr B. Hillegas returned this morning
from Boston, where he attended a con
ference relative to the educational system
of that commonwealth, explaining at the
request of the commission the laws en
acted recently in Vermont as a result of
the work done by the Carnegie founda
tion, when the school laws of Vermont
were revised. He explained to the com
mission what parts of the report of the
foundation were enacted into laws and
how these laws are working in Vermont.
At the meeting of the J. O. U. A. M.,
held Monday evening, the degree work
was conferred upon six candidates. This
was followed by an oyster supper. This
is a part of the campaign that is being

membership. Bradford has probably done
as well as any community, having re
cently takert in 26 candidates, while a
little while ago they took in 14 candi

appointed administratrix of the estate of
John C. Coburn, who died of wounds in
France and of whom mention was made

Levi Kelley arrived home this morning
from Camp Jackson, S. C, where .he has
been in the quartermasters corps since the

COULD BLOCK BOLSHEVISTS.
Small Force Would Be Effective at Reval
in Russia.
Berlin Monday, Dec. 2 (by the As
sociated Press). If a few British torpe
do boats or light cruisers, with even a
small landing force, could reach Reval
this week they could dam the bolshevist
flood which has been murdering, burning
and plundering Est lion ia and Livonia,
according to a declarationmade to the
correspondent by Baron Aexkuell of Es
thonia, who escaped from that country
on Thursday in d if guise.
Baron Aexkuell reports that fjerman
forces had begun to evacuate Narva,
when they were attacked and defeated
by Russian troops.
Last Tuesday white guard comniind
ed by former Russian officers, under the
leadership of Count Keller, of the old
Russian regime, were attacked by a su
perior bolshevist force. The guards gave
protection a month ago to five hundred
Russians who alleged they had desert
ed from the bolshevist army because of
bad treatment. They "brought twenty
three machines with them. While the
attack was proceeding last Tuesday,
three Russians fired upon the white
guards from the rear, contributing ma
terially to their defeat The white
guards, half annihiliated, surrendered.
Esthonia workmen are nearly all bol
shevists, according to Baron Aexkuell,
and the middle elase; of Esthonia and
Livonia are facing the same reign of
terror that the bourgeoisies of Russia
have suffered.
DROWNED CONNECTICUT.
Thomu Golden, aS, In Rowboat Which
Overturned.
Brattleboro, Dec. 3. Thomaa Golden,
aged 38, an employe of the Connecticut
River Power Co. at it hydro-electric
plant on th Connecticut river at Vernon,
was drowned near the plant Sunday
morning, a rowboat in. which h was
crossing the river being overturned.
Golden lived in Hinsdale, N. II., and for
several years had attended the governors
at the power plant. Sunday morning he
was seen by an employe at the plant to
get into hia boat and row acros to the
Vermont aide. When it was noted some
time afterwards that Golden had not re
ported for work, a telephone message
was sent to Leon Pickett, who lives on
the company's farm on the Hinsdale side
of the river, and Mr. Pickett found Gold
en's body about 11 o'clock under the boat
np.r the shore, about L0 feet above the
big dam. A gale was blowing, and the
water was extremely rough. Golden
leaves a wife and several children. The
body was taken to Hinsdale.
Was Passing Through Ravine Just After
the Armistice Took Effect.
Col. Ira L. Reeves, formerly command
ant at the, University of Vermont and
afterwards president of Norwich univer
sity, was gassed within 30 minutes of the
time the armistice took effect. He is now
in an evacuation hospital in France. The
hospital in which he was when he wrote
to friends in Burlington was the third
one he had been in within 30 hours, and
he was to move again, on the day he was
writing the letter, to a base hospital.
Hia condition he did not consider serious,
and he expected to be out in a week or
so. He was gassed while passing through
an area under heavy shell fire. He got
the gas again immediately after the
armistice took effect while going through
a ravine which had been filled with gas.
He got his mask on in time to prevent
any serious effects.
The gas is a most insidious thing, in
the opinion of Colonel Reeves, who says
that one can never tell where it is going
to affect one. Ha got it first in the eyes,
lungs and head, A bursting headache, ac
companied by nausea, is one of the ef
fects. His eyes and lungs have cleared.
Colonel Reeves is with the 7th division,
A. E. F., and is in the infantry.
