Senator Dillingham;

The people of Vermont are slow to be.
lieve evil of her public servants. Senator
Dillingham's opinions and beliefs may
have been at varience On some points
with those of majority of our citizens.
However, they still believe him honest
and faithful to the interest of the state.
With lifetime ofclean upright manhood
behind him, and to their credit be it said,
they were unwilling to give credence to
any suggestions of dishonor on his part.
He will go back to the Seuate with a
large majority and Vermont is saved the
pitiable position of sending the United
States Senate the nominee Of the Demo-
cratic party.

Comet Now Visible

1t is perhaps not known to many local
people that at the present time there is a
faint yet easily visible comet In the west
ern sky in the early evening. 1t was dis
covered by Delavan in September of last
year. 1t was the sixth comet to be dis
covered that year and it carries the des-
ignation, "Delavan, 1918, f." At first it
was only visible through telescope, but
it has become steadily brighter until for
the last two or three weeks it could be
seen with the unaided eye. Now it is at
its best and is easily discernible. 1t will
remain good for a week or SO longer and
then gradually disappear. 1t will prob
ably be followed by telescopes for nearly
year yet.
The best time to see it is from 500 to
$3.50 in the evening. Before that time
the twilight is too strong to allow it to be
easily seen. After that time it is to {,
near the horizon to be easily seen. By
looking toward the west at this time. one
will notice the brilliant orange-whiie
star, Arcturus. 1t is fairly near the hori-
zon and almost exactly in the west. In
the northwest is the big dipper. This is
the catcE-figure for the constellation Ursa
Major which is known to almost every
one. The comet is between Arcturus
and the big dipper. The tail extends up
and to the right and can be followed by
the unaided eye to distance of four or
five times the width of the moon. In an
opera glass it shows up better. The head
is faint, but easily visible. The comet as
whole is not conspicuous, yet easily
found.

WAR

Before the era of the aeroplane Lord
Tennyson prophesied battles in the air
when he
"Dipt into the future, far as human eye
could see,
Saw the vision of the world, and all the
wonder that would be;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting,
and there rained CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies graphing
in the central blue"
But now the startling spectacle of duels
in the air does not justify war not even
to a generation with an Unsuitable ap-
petite for the sensational. The sight of
religious shrines desecrated, cannon
caused carnage, crazed refugees wander
ing upon the heath like King Lear in the
storm, villages in flames or pulverized,
the night light with the blaze from burn.
ing homes and the days dark with the
smoke from blackened ruins, the CLASSY
eyes of the dead in the trenches staring
at plight at the gittering stars-these
pic lures unveil the naked horror and in
excusable awfulness ofwar. The glamor
and romance of war evaporate and men
condemn it unsparingly.
War is a cross section Of savagery; it is
the livid imprint of dark ages upon the
enlightenment of the twentieth century.
War scrape> off the veneer of culture and
civilization and reveals the savage in the
human heart When war is declared, man
who for uncounted centuries has been
evolving from brutehood to brotherhood
suddenly sinks back to the caveman
again. War is ''orgaLizrd ignorance
and when millions of men btsU pouring
lead INTO each others bodies, like demons
fresh from the pit; it is time for Chris
tians to pray, Father. forgive them, for
they know not what they do"
War sins against the law of brother
hood. Strip off the mask of war and
what do you see? Nothing less than
murder. 1t may be magnificent murder,
set to martial music, the victims dressed
in gay uniforms. the scene staged in the
grape arbors of France, with the vintage
glowing purple in the autumn sun, but it
is still murder. Christians should hate
war because its crimson creed sanctions
wholesale slaughter and the multiplica-
ton of the widows and fatherless
Christians should loathe war, for its
motto is: with malice toward all, with
charity for none"
The wages of war is death You can
not compute the cost of war unless you
can tell the price of broken hearts and
measure the value of blood. Bullets do
more damage than dollars can undo.
Gold cannot buy back the brave who fell
in battle. No amount of money can
the wives for their husbands
who parted from them forever and march
ed away to die. No king, car or emperor
can write check to a mother that will
take the place of the son who reeled and
fell before the enemy's fire.
Ifyou want to estimate the total cost |
of war, do not go to the bankers but
to the women of the nations involved.
Blessed is the nation whose trust is
not in soldiers or submarines. dirigibles |
or dreadnoughts, but in those ideals and |
virtues which are the indestructibe de-
tense of any people.

PEACE MORE REMOTE.
: s~%~~~~~~~~~~~>;

(By Theodore Sutro. Editor New York
German Journal)
After three months. peace among
the warning nations seems farther off
than ever. The situatin has grown
more complicated through the en-
trance OF the Moslem into the con-
flict. Yet the longing for peace must
be as fervent in the heart of every
human being as before. Yes, even
more so as the roll of the dead. Of
the wounded and of the bereaved
grows apace from day to day and
the destruction inseparable from mod
ern warfare engulfs everything.
The German government, which
never wanted anything else but peace,
met the overtures of our government
for mediation in an appreciative spir-
it. Her reply that she could not sub
NIT to any terms of peace because the
agreement of England with France
and Russia that they would not deal
separately with Germany and her al
ly, rendered il impossible for the two
last mentioned nations to take the in
itiative in the proposed mediation
seemed logical and unanswerable.
II became so absolutely after Eng
land had also drawn Japan into the
fight. Then. too, the petty nations,
Servia, Montenegro and Belgium, will
want to be heard and their demands
will be backed by the more powerful
allies on the English side. And Tur-
key must now also be consulted.
Under these circumstances the
hands of Germany are tied. England
and her six allies, with or through
whom she commenced her war up
on Germany. must first of all come
to an agreement among themselves
in regard to what overtures of peace
they will subit to the mediatory pow
er Germany cannot deal with any
one of seven different powers so long
as the seven under the lead of Eng
land are pledged to act together, not
peace.
Germans are a peace-loving people
and want permanent peace even If
thy must fight for it, and in this re-
spect the German government simply
reflects the sentiment Of the German
people. But Germany also wants her
just rights. even though she must
fight for them, and such has always
been her history,
The same spirit prevails among Am
erlcan citizens of German ahteced- |
ents. This was shown by the ready
response of some German-Americans
who were recently invited to join the
world peace committe which was
formd by Mr.. William Randolph |
Hearst in furtherance of his brilliant
nationwide demonstration in favor
of an early cessation of the unspeak-
able carnage which is drenching half
the world in blood at an incalculable /
cost and with inconceivable devasta-
ton.
