Editorial Comment
Unhappy Poland.
New York Evening Post.)

New York Evening Post.)
Few of us stop to reflect how the toe
of battle has swept back and forth
over the fields and towns Of Russian
Poland and of Galicia, with all the
widespread suffering and destruction
and horror which this has caused. we
think Of East Prussia as German anu
set down the Russian invasion OF It as
a blow mainly felt at Berlin; but the
nrovince contains large Polish popu-
lation. and 1t is of a sort In general
not able to fee before the Cossacks,
and so most exposed to the miser1es OF
war. Indeed, those cannot De 1ar
wrong who assert that the Poles are
as fully deserving Of commiseration as
the Belgians. More than five hun
dred towns, chiefly occupied by Poles,
are reported to have been destroyed
in the course of the lighting wnloh mas
surged back and forth. The distress
of thousands OF helpless civilians mas
so impressed their compatrlots and
sympathizing friends in this city thas
a Polish relief committee has been or
eanized, with headquarters at IVo
West 40th street, of which Mime. Mar
celia Sembrich is the honorary presi-
dent. The need which it Is designer
to meet is unquestionably great and
piteous.
One of the CHASTITY tragedies OF tho
war is the way In which compulsory
military service has forced Poles to
fight against Poles. There are great
numbers of them in the Russian
army; and perhaps as many more IN
the ranks of the Austrians and tine
Germans. They have all, so far as
known. done their military duty; out
If must add q bitterness to death Tor
them to know that 1t is their own
blood kindred whom they are, IN
many cases, compelled to fight IN
ternational law no longer permits
conaueror, like Napoleon, to force the
troops Of a beaten army to take SER
vice under his banner and possibly to
lead them against their own country
men. But virtually such a fate has
befallen the Poles this year; the far
off consequences Of the breaking up
and partition Of their ancient kingdom
having been to set them in unnatural
battle array against each other.

Moral Effect.


The Moral Effect which is supposed
to have been the object of the Ger
man raid Wednesday on several I'M
defended towns on the east coast or
England, will probably not be of ex-
actly the kind that authors of that
piratical venture desired. Instead OF
striking terror to the British heart, 1t
will probably serve only to increase
the logged British determination to
crush Germany, which thus makes
war on women and children. No mill
tary purpose could possibly be FUR
thered by such an operation against
unfortified towns, and therefore the
raid was entirely without justification,
a mere wanton act of barbarity. 1t Is
one more score which Germany will
have to settle with civilization at the
end Of the war.

Democracy Up a Stump.

The spasm of economy that seems
to have struck the Democratic party
promises to be as unsatisfactory In
its results to the country as were last
sessions extrava gances. President
Wilson has at last remembered the
party's platform pledges and his own
campaign utterances; while in the
National House sort of economy

late election. The Treasury is in a
bad way in spite of the war tax" and

has been played out. The outcome
OF this virtuous awakening is liable to
result in the elimination of desirable
and necessary provisions from the ap-
preparation bills.

Il believe that the next Congress will
witness the sohdifying of the Re-

gressmen elected are many able and

no disposition on the part of the re-
turning older men, who are not men,
bers of the present Congress, to take
away any of the laurels belonging to
the men who stood up and fought for
the Republican party during the dark
days since 1912. The attempt of the
Democratic party to create an in

Hon. Vim. /. ePutnam. former
Bath boy who enjoys the distinction
of being Portlands oldest living ex-
Mayor, was one of the speakers at
the annual banquet of Portland's re-
firing and incoming members OF the
City Council. He called attention
to the fact that the father of Mayor
Curtis was an alderman during his
own administration in the COS and
was one of his right hand men. The
distinguished jurist also said he had
never lost his interest in the affairs
Of the city and he hoped that he
never would. He declared that no
man can honestly say he doesn't de-
sire reelection for, he said, every
man wants to feel that he has the
confidence and support of his fellow
citizens.
Aroostook is not the only section
that is feeling the low price of pota-
toes, the fact that Wisconsin potatoes
are not keeping we'll has led to such
a rush of them to the shipping points
that prices have dropped to a level
that scarcely pays for hauling. Many
cars have been shipped from Wiscon-
sin with either green or rotting pota-
toes, driving those who wish to secure
good stock elsewhere for its purchase,
Minnesota is the gamer from this,
and has filled many large orders with
good clean tubers, while their neigh
bors across the state line have been
hauling their rotton potatoes back
onto the land for fertilizer. We should
think this practice a dangerous one,
but no one seems to fear the con-
tInuance of late blight from such fer
tilization.-Aroostoo Pioneer.
The B. & A. has tried to get the de-
murrage rate on freight cars reduced
from s1.oO to so cents day during
December on account of the low prices
of potatoes and the consequent hard
ships to the farmers. The Interstate
Commerce Commission has refused to
grant the request of the road much
to the regret of the road and to the
shippers and farmers as well.

A Marvellous Savings Bank
Growth

The thrift not only of the
farmer, but of the man engaged
in industrial pursuits in our
Green Mountain state is some
thing that attracts the attention
Of thoughtful students of finance
all over this country.
1t has, however, remained for
a Minnesota bank president to
discover the fact, for fact it
probably is, that there is no
bank in this country-probably
not in the world-in a village of
its size, that equals either in its
deposits or its assets one of our
Vermont savings banks.
This Minnesota bank presi-
dent in writing to a Vermonter
concerning the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank makes use of the fol-
lowing language:
Il have examined the reports
of financial institutions to some
extent, and | think that Hyde
Park must have the unique dis
tinction of having the largest
financial institution of any vii
lage of its size in this country, if
not in the world. | don't believe
there is another village of 423
people which can boast of an in
which has two and a
half million dollars of assets"
We hope some of our readers
with an inquisitive turn of mind
will investigate this matter, and
if it is found that Hyde Park is
not entitled to the distinction of
having the largest savings bank
in the world, in a village of its
size, we will gladly give space in
our columns for this informa-
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-07-10
were as follows !:

We think the managers of the
Hyde Park Bank may feel a
proper and justifiable pride in
this phenomenal growth, for it
can mean but one thing and that
is that the people of Vermont
have come to feel implicit conf
dence in the safety of this bank.
The Hyde Park Bank guaran-
tees that it will pay, absolutely
and subject to no conditions or
contingencies, four per cent. in
terest, compounded semi-annual-
ly, and pay all taxes of every
name of kind.-News and Citi-
zen.
The bank has just issued beautiful
booklet giving photographs of its officers
and directors, as well as sundry facts
very entertaining to one who feels an
interest in savings banks.
The booklet will be sent to anyone on
application. Your name and postoffice
with the statement that you
saw this notice in the Barre Times, will
bring the booklet free, postage paid.
