constructive policy for Vermont or
the nation, but which is chiefly com
posed of attacks on my integ -ity as
a senator and false and misleading

acted with that coterie of senators
who have been known as the champ

The maintenance of an effective block
ade. however. has been of immense i'm
portance to England and her allies in
this war. The Germans have abstatned
from any offensive operations. save by
means of smalI-ship attacks designed
to keep the blockaders apprehensive
and to wear down the numerical su-
premacy. But so long as the ships OF
the line remain outside of the range
of submarine activity these occasional
dashes cannot materially affect the
British naval strength. Before the war
began there was talk of the use OF
airships as naval supplements by Ger
many, and from time to time since
the outbreak of hostilities hints OF
what the German admiralty had pre-
pared in this direction have been
heard. without, however, any develop

There is no indication of any develop-

British can well afford to maintain the
blockade en- the present basis, for they
can continue to add to their naval strength
as rapidly as the Germans, by means OF

least the present margin OF superiority Oh

Many years trial by practical
service in the homes OF our pa

that these blankets we are selling
for $500 a pair in double-bed
size and 5000 pair in extra
length are the best that money
can buy.
They are woven with 90 per
cent of wool in the filling, and
cotton warp to prevent shrinkage
in the wash.
This. year they are selling bet
