Flood Mark Approached (Brattleboro Reformer) An item recording the fact that water in the Wilmington branch of the Deerfield river rose to within three inches of the 1927 flood mark following the downpour of the last week-end gives a pretty clear idea of how only a litle more precipitation would have been necessary to raise the damage toll hereabouts. In this connection it may be recalled that the Deerfield valley suffered comparatively little in the 1927 flood although precipitation recorded in that locality was higher than in any other point in the state, the reason of course being the existence of the Somerset ana wmungnam storage reservoirs.

Death Closes World Famed Dreyfus Case (Continued from Page 1) A year ago friends disclosed that nightmares of his imprisonment often waked him from his sleep, though it had been 35 years since he was pardoned.

The Dreyfus case, originating in 1894, shook France to its foundations, well-nigh WTecked the republic, did unmeasured harm to the French army and turned the questioning eyes of the world upon French justice. A young Jewish officer in the French army, Dreyfus, who served on the general staff with the rank of captain, was convicted of betraying French military secrets to Germany. He was sentenced to Devil's Island for life, publicly drummed out of the army, and disgraced. Four years after his arrival at the notorious penal colony off the coast of French Guiana, Dreyfus was returned and again tried by court martial. To the astonishment of an entire world he was again convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison.

The president of France pardoned him. however. Eight years more passed before those who believed Dreyfus the victim of one of the most atrocious conspiracies in the history of France, succeeded in bringing about his vindication. The supreme court finally annulled his conviction, and, his honor cleared of stain, he was restored to his rank in the army. After his reinstatement, Dreyfus went into virtual seclusion.

On one of his rare public appearances, in 1908, he was shot in the arm and slightly wounded by an anti-semltic fanatic. At the outbreak of the World War he volunteered and commanded one of the forts protecting Paris. When peace came he resumed his cloistered existence. Only once thereafter did he show interest in the outside world, joining French intellectuals in petitioning Massachusetts authorities for clemency to Sacco and Vanzetti when that case was at its height. Roosevelt Tax Program Under Heavy Fire (Continued from Tate 1) "The present burdens Imposed upon corporations unduly restrain business activities," he said.

Elaborating his objections to the graduated corporation taxes, Lund asserted they would "discriminate" against "small investors, housewives, widows" who hold stock in large corporations. Illustrating, he said: "A corporation which earned would be taxed 10 per cent and one earning $1,000,000 would be taxed 17 1-2 per cent. Two thousand dollars for the former, $3,500 for the latter, or a difference of $1,500 or 75 per cent. "The small concern is owned by a wealthy individual while the equivalent interest in the large corporation is owned by ten small stockholders. In a vast number of cases this would be true.

We thus penalize those least able to pay by assessing against their earnings a 75 per cent larger tax." Chandler said he was not willing to agree "with Mr. Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state under the Wilson administration. that the depression is being 'wantonly' prolonged." "On the other hand," he continued, "I haven't the slightest doubt that in the Washington menage the Inner group that surrounds the President and seems to have his ear there are numerous conspirators who do not want prosperity to return and who do want to see private property in this country so discredited that the doctrines of Karl Marx shall be substituted for those of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Lincoln, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson and Cool-idge." He said there was no special significance to the fact that he had omitted Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt from his list of presidents. in Tryon, N. where she organized the Tryon players workship.

Citizens of Vermont My attention has been called to an article which appeared in yesterdays Free Press, stating that Capt. Paul Crosbie of the American Legion is to be a speaker at the Communist rally to be held in Ludlow Sunday, July 14. This article appears to have been written with the intent of misleading the public and members of the Legion, and making it appear that he was representing the Legion. While it may be true that Capt. Paul Crosbie is a member cf some post of the Legion, we have no record of his bein? so in the Vermont department, and he is in no way whatsoever representing the American Legion, and therefore cannot speak for it other than aa an individual, for the American Legion is unalterably opposed to Communism in any form.
