This is Belgium.
And Belgium is calling, calling for
succor in the most dreadful national
disaster that has visited the civilized
world. Calling from novels that shelter

the graves of innocent victims of war
at its worst. Calling from the depths
of despair.
And America, peace-blessed is an
swering. Responding from that great.
big heart that has never failed to be
stirred by human suffering whether the
appeal came from the valley Of the
Yang-ste-Kai, or the islands of the
Mediterranean, whether from the shat

Francisco. From east to west, from
north to south, kind hearts and ready

Theodore Waters of the New York
Christian Herald went over to see for
himself just what was the condition
of the people in Belgium and to super
intend the distribution of a ship load
of food. He has returned to New York,
and says the situation is worse than
the worst the world has ever seen, and
cannot be exaggerated. Belgium is one
vast bread line, and with all that has
been sent the stricken people they are
still just above the starvation point
and must be fed by the contributions
of outside nations.

The experiment of the 100 farmers
in Springfield, who have formed a CO.
operative club with q capitalization of
$4,000, win be watched with interest
throughout the state. If the farmers
of the club will only pull together they
can make the organization of great
value to themselves individually and
collectively. Such organizations which
have been formed in years past flour
ished for time and then withered
and died Probably jealousy and sus-
picion FASTENED the end of these coop
eratiye affairs. If 100 men will stand
unitedly in selling their crops, and in
sist on the maintenance of high
standard in the marketable eommod-
tiles, they can achieve in their own way
a permanent success like that which the
growers of citrus fruits enjoy in Flor
ida and Southern California. Here s
hoping they Will lead the way for
| other New England farmers.

The illumination of the Christmas
tree is very pretty in its effect, but
some kinds of illumination are extreme
Iy dangerous. The city authorities in
Philadelphia have ordered that there
shall be no lighted candles on trees.
No one who has had experience of a
fire originating in lights on the Christ
mas tree ever tries it again. Many
fires are caused every year in this way,
and it is for the safety CT the family
that the open lights are prohibited this
year. We ought to have a safe Christ
mas as much as a safe Fourth of July.

the makers of modern Germany. The

Introductory chapter has been added,
from which we quote-''These war

There is no industry in all Germany
that is paying such a terrible price IN
the war as the merchant marine. The
nation had when the war began 2090
steamships, of a gross tonnage of 5,134,-
$50. OF these so steamers have been
captured by the allies, 100 are detain-
ed in British or allied ports, 646 are
refugees in neutral ports of Germany.
These unavailable and idle steamships
represent 50 per cent of the gross ton
mage of he German empire. To be
sure her two greatest shipping com
panies the North German Lloyd and
the Hamburg American lines are strong
and powerful, yet the idleness of all
their splendid ships spell waste and
disaster.

Enforce Our Game Laws.

\ Montpelier youth, son of mer-
chant of that city, is suing game
warden for damages for false arrest.
The young man may have just grounds
but on the face of it he has not. He
was arrested for violation of the game
law inasmuch as he was taken in the
act of hunting without a license, but
he claims that he was ION his way to
get a license. - If the fish and game
laws of Vermont are to be held in re
spect, as they should be, and the execu-
tors of the laws are to be encouraged
in enforcing them, no person, whatever
his position in society or business,
should be permitted to be immune from

Did the expert legal opinion tell
Governor Fletcher he must appoint
judges for a term of two years follow
ing the interim appointments By the
way, who gave this "expert legal adj
vice?" Was it one judge, or was it by
the entire bench? Was it a written
opinion, or was it word of mouth esti-
mate? Lastly, why did Governor Fletch-
er see, fit to remove men against whose
official acts not a bit of suspicion had
been aroused? These are a few of the
questions uppermost in the minds OF
the people of Vermont, and they have
never been answered by the executive
himself nor by his newspaper apollo
gists. 1t isn't often that the people of
Vermont have been so aroused over n
matter as they are at the present time.

ARTIST TO HIS F1NGERTIPs.
of William Morris Hunt
in January Scribner'S.

The January issue of Scribner 5
contains an article entitled
The Field of Art. in which prominent
is made of the late William
Morris Hunt, formerly of BrattlebOro.
Among other things the article says;
But, whatever the final estimate of
his work may be, he will always re-
main a strong personality in the his
tory of American art. As an artistic
personality he still remains quite
unique 1t is this same artistic per
sonality that did and does endear him
to so many artists. He was an artist
to his finger tips, and such defects as
he had were Just as much the result
of his artistic temperament as were his
merits. In a country rather lacking
for the most part in artistic tempera-
ment, ne was a supreme example OF
just that quality, and in artist studios
one still hears fine stories Of his gen
crosby, his gayety, and his artistry.
He was a beautiful example of
what the American nature can come to
" hen it is filed with sweetness and
light. He had-what we have limited
some Americans lack-temperament-
n richness of blood, a passion of spirit
hich seems froze ont of many of Us

American His sayings are racy Of the
soil. But that acridity, sourness, crude
4 ness which herald themselves in The
national voice, seemed burned out o.
him by the fire of his passion for ar

The decision Of the interstate com
merce commission, announced in a
Washington despatch to The Reformer
yesterday, grants to the Eastern roads
freight increases of approximately 5
per cent, excepting on some heavy
freight. The advance will. add $780,
1000 annually to the incomes of the
roads, and this means the difference
between activity and stagnation. 1t is
to be hoped that the increases will
fall in such a place and manner as to
aid the public through business reviv-
al, and not Cypress by higher prices.

1t would be difficult to estimate ex-
actly how many of the voters who
helped turn down the building code
proposition at the special meeting last
evening actually believed that the vii
lage has sufficient authority already in
this direction and how many don t care
whether or not such authority exists.
No doubt both beliefs were represent
ed, but it is to he feared that the, lat
ter were in the majority. For the ben
eft of those who were influenced by
the encouragement 5 quoted opinion it
may be said that people with the best
intentions sometimes allow their iudo-
ment to be warped-unconscious of
course-by personal interests. As for
those who seem to prefer too little to
too much in the way of building reou-
lations 1t can hardly be said that theirs
IS a broad-minded attitude. In view
OF last night 5 action it would be in
Iteresting to ascertain whether or not a
building code applying only to the pro
posed inner fire district could he pass
ed. The light that such a test would
throw on the motives Of certain folks
would be worth the expense of another
village meeting.
