It was voted to extend an invitation to the American Legion to use the rooms as they might desire. It was also voted to Invite the men at present stationed at the Post and all service men to use the rooms for reading, writing and a general meeting place. An arrangement was made to combine forces with the Red Cross in an effort to give the men of Burlington, civilian and service men alike, a real vocational employment bureau. A committee of three Messrs Kelly, Taylor and Ernst was elected to formulate plans for making the coming Chautauqua a big success, socially and educationally, as well as financially. Messrs.

Hanbrldge, Mitlgruy and Canning were appointed a committee to arrange for community boatrides this 6erlnnlni? To-morrow A tentative "schedule has been drawn up by the manager of the Fort Ethan Allen baseball team, and it is planned to have games at the Post practically every Sunday this summer, if possible. The Post has a fine baseball team that so far has not lost a game. The only Burlington team which will oppose the Post team, so far as is known by tho manager at the present time, will be the Odd Fellows. The Stranahan Memorial club of St. Albans has a fine team this.

summer, and. a good game is expected next Sunday. It is deplored by all Burlingtonians Interested In the national pastime that they are forced to go to the Post in order to see a good game. But the people will not stand behind a team in this city and therefore all baseball men go to other teams for the summer. The tentative schedule is as follows: July 19, Plattsburgh at Plattsburgh; 20.

Stranahan Memorial club at Post; 26, Odd Fellows of Burlington at Post; 27, Plattsburgh at Post; August 2, Hinesburg at Hinesburg; 3, Swanton at Swanton; 9, Enosburg Falls at Enosburg Falls; 10, Grand Isle at Post; 16, open; 17, Enosburg Falls at Post. Mr. Harry A. Garfield, U. S.

R.

H. Steltz, in charge of the local recruiting office, located In the Howard bank building, in an interview with a Free Press reported yesterday. "It can no more be regarded as a military employment agency, conducted by the government to induce young men to leave their homes, sever family ties, and to join a profession of doubtful influences for a young man." The regular army at one time did not especially appeal to the better classes of the community. This was reflected In the popularity of such sentiments as were expressed In the song "I Did Not Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier," and in the politically potent campaign slogan, "He kept us out of war." But now all this is different. The change is a logical result of the war, which brought millions of young men Into the military service.

People who had formerly regarded the army as' of no more Immediate personal concern than the city police force suddenly found themselves in military camps, learning to bear arms In defense of the country; and when the young men were called to the colors, the hearts and solicitude of their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and sweethearts went with them.
