Judging from the expressions of sew
aral of our contemporaries, the Ameri-
an people are beginning to think over
what may be the military provisions
hat the war will force upon them. We
note that more than one newspaper is
Inclined to hold that the burden of our
expenditures should be for the navy,
md what is left for the army. Relying
lpon our distance from the Old World
We have proportiOnately devoted more
,ttention to our man-of-warsmen than
our soldiers, but it may be doubt
ful if il is wisdom for rs in the future
blindly to follow this policy. If the
navy should be defeated in great ac-
tion we might have to fall back upon
our military strength for defence. In

WAR AND MISSIONS
OF AMERICAN BOARD
European Upheaval Seriously Interferes
Turkish Missions Suffer Most
Poverty Everywhere

The present European upheaval has
interfered in unexpected ways with
mission work abroad. For some weeks
after hostiities opened the American
Board received hardly any letters from
its foreign force. Foreign exchanges
broke down. Banks and brokers were
unable to Sepd money. Banks in Con-
stantmopie and Smyrna, for instance
would allow the mission treasurers to
draw only small sums from the mis-
sion s own deposits. In the emergency
the Standard Oil company and the
Vacuum Oil company consented to act
as bankers and TO pay out ut ccntcrs
whore their business is established
sums appropriated for the needs of
missionaries and mission plants.
Some of the English societies, who
cannot get mail directly to their sta
tions, have sent lunches of letters to
the American Board in Boston request
ing that they he remailed to the for
elgn workers. while the missionaries
themselves have had the same Thought
and letters for London from representa-
tives of the English missions are being
received in Boston.
The missions i'm Turkey have. probab-
ly suffered most. They were able to get
10 money-of any amount; their ma
tive Christians and assistants in school
and parish work were called to the
| colors; Turkish soldiers have been
quartered in missionary premises -
though they are usually removed as
| soon as the mission can make its appeal
! to the higher authorities; in some
| cases schools may not be able to open,
as teachers and older students have
been drafted and there is such power

The state and other large fairs like
those of Middleburv. Rutland and
Brattleboro have their place in proyid-
ing high-class attractions which the
public Graves. To a certain extent they
are educational from the standpoint OF
the Vermont stOck9rower and agricul-
turist. Yet it is true that our home
producers, especially our breeders, do
not exhibit at these large fairs, except
a few fancy ones of the endowed kind.
Vermont stock finds little encourage
ment to show when it is faced in com
petition by the selected herds sent in
from all over the country. Not that
Vermont lacks. but while the average
is high there are few fancy breeders
who can compete with the choice high
class stock shown by owners who ma Ike
a business of going the big fair cir
cult. 1t is well for Nermonters to see
and judge this stock and strive to
reach 1t so far as practical, but the real
competition that helps the Vermont
breeder is to be found at the smaller
fairs whore native stock is shown in
abundance and the kinds best adopted
to our own needs are fully represented
Such fairs are those Of Mortified, Tun-
bridge, Woodstock and the like. 1t is
from the smaller fair units that Yer
mont receives its best stimulus, though
it gets larger outlook and sees q big
ger show at the few big fairs.

PRESIDENT HYDE ON PEACE.

President Hyde of Bowdoin, one Of
the ablest college presidents in New
England, gave an admirable address
to his students at Brunswick, Me-, sun
day on peace. He splendidly brought
out the point that actual peace from
fighting on the field is no more import
ant than the wiping out Of false ideas.
President Hyde said:
1.-THE peace for which we pray is
not mere cessation Of hostilities; de
youtly as that is desired 1t is the ex-
rirpation of the false ideals out of
which this wanton war was born-the
crafty CALCULATED philosophy of Metz
sche, the elOquently preached states
raft of Treitschke, the prophetically
published militarism of Bernhard -
the doctrine that might rather than
reason is the arbiter of right
"Toward the contending nations
and the individuals who compose
them, we are not merely neutral but
| friendly. We admire British genius fol
government, French grace, Russian
HON'lS, AuStildH HtulclHt ana tcoHO
mics and German science, music
literature and business enterprise. Blu
we abhor these ideals, which Will,
held by individuals among the Allies
| are the avowed and boosted creed o.
a group of men influential in the Ger
nan government. And if we pray 70
Germany's defeat in the present wa
il is love, not hate; it is in the longin!
| o deliver her from the obsession o
| .hcse internal ideals. -

The addition during the past month
TO the American merchant marine of
- steamers with a gross tonnage Of
2l7. POI. transferred from foreign flags,
gives the United States a perceptibly
enhanced statistical position in the
world ; carrying trade. These vessels
came III under the amendment to the
Panama canal act, which is not to be
COMPOUNDED with the proposal for Il
government-owned line. The average
tonnage per added steamer is about 1 :
000, though here and there there are
some vessels in excess Of that figure.
Everything helps in the way of expand
ing our merchant service, but it will
be noticed from these returns that the
big type of vessel can be but indifferent
ly represented. The tendency of today
is to build bigger and bigger. UGdel
our flag there are very few lare,
steamers in the cean-going service
and it vet remains to be demonstrate,
that their construction and operation
will be profitable under the American
wage scale.

UNDER A FLAG OF TRUCE.
A Reunion and a Compact Between the
Blue and the Gray.

MY father was a private in the
Twenty-sixth Michigan and often told
the following story, although | was
never wise enough to make note OF
the date or the name of the engage
ment There can be no doubt, how
ever, Of the substantial accuracy of
the tale.
There had been fighting, but flag
of truce had passed from the Con
federate to the Union lines, and firing
was suspended. The lines We're close
together and both behind cover. As
the white flag passed out of sight to-
ward headquarters the lines simply
flowed together, meeting in the vacant
space between. Officers on both sides
tried to prevent it, but their efforts
were fruitIess. Little groups formed
here and here and began TO barter.
The grays had tobacco. and the blues
had coffee and little sugar, and
trade was lively for a time. Then
they fell to discussing other things.
and to understand their conversation
it ought to be explained that the prac-
tice of firing on a picket line was re-
garded by these soldiers, hardened
though they were by the awful sights
of a dozen bloody fields, as little bet
ter than murder Said a gray:
''Why do you fellows fire on pickett
Blue-Why do you fire on picket?
| Gray Well, we don't. only when
| that old Colonel B. from North Caro-
| lima is officer of the day: then we
| have to. He makes us do it. But
| tell you. Yank. we'll shoot high! Yes
/ Yank, We'll shoot Hight
The flag of truce came back; the
negotiations had failed. The lines re
formed, and firing began again. Once
more poor humanity referred to tht
rife and bayOnet the questions it couit
settle in no other way. But who cal
doubt that in the hearts of all wh'
witnessed the dramatic scene there
was less bitterness than before th
| truce? Theirs was no vulgar. sordit
quarrel; no bitter, personal vendetta
Each side was pledged TO the supper
of antagonistic principles, TO maintain
which they had staked their lives. bu
they had no quarrel with their op
ponentS as men.-Youth'S Companion.

First to "Put His Foot In IT.

It was a bishop of olden times who
first put his foot in it." and ever
since then the most ordinary layman
who makes a blunder is said to put
his foot in it."
1t wasn't the bishops fault after all.
but the housewives who ran to doors
and windows every time the good
bishop passed and asked for his bless
ing and while getting it they let the
porridge burn. Then they blamed the
bishop for the trouble and said the
bishop put his foot in it.'-Milwaukee

that event we should soon realize the
truth of the old maxim, "In time of
peace prepare for war. - We have been
happily immune for 100 years from any
prospect of invasion. Our immunity
has been due more to good fortune than
to preparation, but Great Britain :
sudden call to participate in a great
war should serve as a reminder to us
that while it takes two to fight it ma :
require only one TO provoke a quarrel
