Daring Feat by Lone German subma-
rne on North Sea-Sattle Of
Aisne Continues

The struggle between the allied ar.
mics Of France and Great Britain
against the Germans north OF the
Aisne river near the Belgian border
in France continues with unabated
fury. Both forces have met with al
ternating victories and defeats from
day to day, but no definite advantage
has been gained by either side. BY a
brilliant stroke lone German sub
marine dashed from the German Keil
canal to the North Sea and before re-
turning to its haven Of safety succeed
ed in sinking three of the British
cruisers. The Servians during the
asst week succeeded in capturing Sar-
ajevo, the Bosnian capital, where
Archduke Ferdinand, heir apparent to
the Austrian throne, was assassinated,
from the Austrians. In Galicia the
Russians are surrounding Przemsyl,
the last of the Austrian strongholds.
Canadian Soldiers to Europe
Though much has been said regard
ing the mobolizing Of the Canadian
troops for service on the European
continent, little has been known OF
the actual movement of she troops and
not until the last few days has it be-
come known that 10000 Canadian SOL
diers were on their way to fight along
side of the British in France. The
censors have not permitted the fact
to become known as to where these
soldiers sailed from or where their
destination will be- The same secrecy
that covered the landing of British
soldiers in France and the movement
of the troops from India, is attending
the transporting of the troops from
Canada.
German Navy Hemmed In
Day after day the British warships
have been awaiting outside Of the
Keil canal for the coming of the Ger
man ships. Once by clever ruse they
were able to entice several Of the
kaiser's war vessels from the protec-
ton of the canal with the result that
the German navy lost two vessels. It
was the fact that the British had the
German ships hemmed in that gave
them the freedom Of the high seas.
After that the German warships were
lost sight Of entirely.
Attack by Germans Surprise
The attack by the German subma-
rine was a great surprise to the Brit
ish fleet and even the British termed
it as a brilliant feat Not until one
Of their vessels was struck did they
i. become aware of the presence Of the
tiny death-dealing ship. Two other OF
the British vessels went to the assist
ance of the one that was struck and
they, too, were struck by torpedoes.

Allies Land in Austria

Paris7A dispatch to the Italian
newspaper Messaggero, forwarded to
Paris by the Rome correspondent Of
the Havas agency, says that the allied
forces have landed in Dalmatia after
bombarding the fortified harbor at Lis

then hoisted to provoke the Austrian
feet to come OF: and engage the allied
feet in battle. Three Austrian squad
rons, the correspondent adds, are shell
te ed in canal at Fassana, opposite

THE LONG COASTS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

The reported presence of cruisers of
various nations on the Atlantic coast
of the United States, together with the
hysterical attitude Of shipping interests
as regards the safety of some of the
great ocean-going liners, accentuates
what the United States might expect in
case it should be drawn into war with
another sea power Of first magnitude
The Atlantic coast which the United
States has to defend is a very long
stretch of land and much Of it contains
very valuable possessions populous cit
les, vast manufacturing concerns. rich
farming territory and an all but un-
protected approach to the interior re.
gions OF the nation. If cruisers of for
eign nations are able to maneuyer within
comparatively few miles of that coast
in time of peace with this nation with
out their presence being known abso-
lutely, then scattered warships would be
able to harrass sections Of that coast
seriously in times Of actual war The
revelation adds not little to the fear
which was aroused during the Spanish
American war that hostile war vessels
might slip in and do great damage to
sections on the North Atlantic coast
before being driven of by the protect
ing feet. Moreover, the apprehension
is not lessened by the comprehension
that II is not alone one coast that the
United States has TO protect, but two
coasts. the Pacific almost equally as val /
uable and Just about as vulnerable as
the Atlantic. while 10 the south is an
immense gulf which might demand pro-
lection. The futility Of disarmament in
the present state Of development among

Vermont senatorial Contest.

The report that T. R. has put his o.
K. on the senatorial candidacy of Hon.
Charles A. Prouty, and that bunch of
state Progressive party leaders are
likewise advocates of his election lends
a distinct color to the whole situation.
But why this interference of the big
boss of Oyster Bay in Vermonts politi-
cal affairs; Are not the people of the
state sufficiently intelligent to select
their own candidates for the United
States senatorship, and particularly now
that the Office is to be filled by popular
vote? It has from the start been the
howl of the Progressives that they were
on earth to depose and dispossess the G.
O. p. bosses, but here are few of the
leaders of that organization telling the
crowd Just who should be the party
candidate for the United States senator.

The practice of taking away licenses
to operate motor vehicles is rarely re-
sorted to in Vermont because, perhaps,
few instances arise in which such dras.
tic step is considered necessary to the
safety of the general public, as well as
of the driver. In theory, the right to
cut off the privilege Of operating cars
is all right, but the prohibition ought
not to be imposed until the party in
question has been given full and fair
hearing before some official like the sec
rotary of state. Summarily to remove
the right to operate because the driver
may have figured in an accident is not
right or reasonable, for there may have
been extenuating circumstances in the
case; indeed, the driver of the car may
not have been actually responsible for
the accident, or he may have been only
in part responsible Therefore, the full
testimony ought to be taken by com
petent person in all instances where
complaint is made, lest an injustice be
done, and lest the element Of spite be
allowed to enter in the complaint and
recommendation to the authority having |
the right to suspend the operators IL
cense.
But when imposed after full hearing,
the punishment OF license removal is
just the sort of application that is cal
culated to dispense with reckless driv-
ing of motor vehicles, and resort to such
punishment is to be commended by
all people who desire to insure the safe
ty of Vermont's highways only let the
person complained of be given chance
to give his side of the case to reason

In fact, Vermont's advance was well
ahead of the average state in the pro-
portion of improved roads to the to-
tai highway mileage. In this sort of
tabulation there We're only seven states
ahead OF Vermont for the calendar year
1913. At the beginning OF the present
year there were ABB miles OF state and
state-aid roads in the Green Mountain
state, of which total 200 miles had been
completed during 1918. The total mile
age Of improved roads was set at 3,07s,
out of total mileage Of l4,406, or 2l.3
per cent. Our nearest neighbor, New
Hampshire, had $40 miles Of improved
roads out of a total Of 1916, giving
her percentage of l2.4. Vermont spent
$505,000 during the year for new road
building, road maintenance and admin
istration and miscellaneous expenses,
against $475,449 in New Hampshire.
Since the state highway law was passed
in Vermont back in 1892 the grand to-
tai Of s2,727963 has been expended on
