The piece argues that Wilhelm Hohenzollern was already deeply obsessed with war before 1914, finding more interest in military campaigns on maps than in real life. It contends defenders’ claims of him being a mere tool of others are contradicted by his own craving to replay wars.
A collage of wartime notes and cultural commentary appears in the Barre Daily Times as it recalls statements by senators, royal politics, and fashion shifts. It references Dr Grayson, General Peratiny, King Victor Emmanuel, Lady Astor, and Miss Rankin, along with Rutland Herald’s anniversary and Vermont weather lore.
Henry Clay Frick leaves a vast fortune valued around 145 million dollars to public institutions and three surviving family members.

The Sheffield correspondent laments a dying town in Vermont that lacks a blacksmith, grist mill, creamery, or shop and risks losing its church due to poor attendance. Farmers struggle as the once lively village fades, though town government persists and state aid funds schools.
A fragment from a Reformer urges state support for a town’s burial costs and proposes paying a salary from the state treasury while noting no funds for a blacksmith shop or a dairy creamery. The town’s meeting is described as downcast and awaiting a decent burial after a verdict of natural causes.
Hoover reports the 100 million relief program expanded by selling 88 percent of supplies on government contracts.
