A correspondent of Stone writes that
Worcester, Mass, has a granite block
pavement which is better than when laid
Is or 10 years ago. and the correspond
ent goes on to say that the bugaboo of
noise about granite block pavement
can be settled once for all, first, by lay
ing the blocks properly on concrete foun-
dation covered with sand and then grout
ed in, second by running a granite cut
tiers surfacing machine over the blocks
as soon as they are set, or, third, by GO
ing over the street with a Shooting scroll
of granite polishing mill. The CORE
spondent also says that the granite block
paving business has been coming into its
own during the past two years by reason
of the facts that municipalities are awak.
ening to the good qualities OF such
road.

1t pleases great many people through
out New England that the Boston Her
aid, although changing ownership, is to
maintain much the same editorial policy
as upheld several years by Robert Lin
coin O'Brien. The Herald has been an
interesting paper, particularly that see
ton which is devoted to the expression of
opinion, and it would be Boston's and
New England's misfortune were the
change to bring about also a change in
its editorial page.

THE PLATTsBURG CAMP AND THE
GERMANS.

A suggestion is made in some quarters
that the German nation has taken a diff
ferent attitude toward the United States
recently because OF the development Of
the purpose of the United States as in
dicated by the amateur military camp AZ
Plattsburg where 200 business and pro-
fessional men drilled for 80 days. The
suggestion is calculated 70 stir up a
laugh in Germany, II not in the United
States; but il il more than probable that
Germany has not heard = word about the
plattshurg camp, or, il IL has heard, has
paid nothing more than passing attention
70 the little gathering Of embryo army
officers. Even in the United States the
plattsburg camp i considered nothing
more than drop IN the bucket to the
tremendous task which lies before the
nation in the matter Of making up for
past letharpy; and in Germany. where
hundreds Of thousands of men are drilled

President Wilson speaks in unmistakable terms with re- gard to that class of alleged Americans, who have taken the oath of allegiance, yet are plot ting bomb outrages and mur- der to further the ends of some foreign power. Your Uncle Sam has just about enough of the hyphenated traitor. The President also pays his respects to that form of native born American, who brings shame to the country of his birth by his many vile and reasonable utterances. Benedict Arnold would be a credit compared with that class of citizen.

 The President said there was req son to hope that no question in con- troversy between this and other gov ernments would lead to any serious breach of amicable relations, and that he was very sorry to say that the gra- vest threats against national peace and safety had been uttered within the culntry's own borders.
 There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit" he declared, born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and oppor- tunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very artorcc cfcur national life; who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our government into contempt, to destroy our industries, whatever they thought it effective for their y;ndictive purposes, to strike at them and to debase our politics tc' the uses of foreign intrigue"

 self-security the country must have a merchant marine.

We must use their ships, and use them as they deter mine. Our independence is provin- cial, and it is only on land and within cur own borders. We are not likely to be permitted to use even the ships of other nations in rivalry of their own trade, and are without means to extend our commerce even where the doors are wide open and cur goods desired. Such a situation is not to be endured. It is of capital importance Iot only that the United States should be it's own carrier on the seas anc enjoy the economic independence which only an adequate merchant ma rine would give it but also that the American hemisphere as a whole should enjoy like independence and self-sufficiency, if it is not to be drawn into the tangle of European affairs,

MONTENEGRINS STUBBRON
Confirmation of the Defeat of the
 French Lacking.

London, Eng, Dec. 9.-No confirma- tions have been received here of the
 reports that the French have been
 forced to abandon their positions on
 the Vardar and Cerna fronts, 1n Southeastern Serbia, but it is admit tedly possible they are in precar1ous situation because of the threatened envelopment in the angle of these two rivers. The constant arrival of fresh forces ard var materials at Salonilli indicate however, that the Allies have no intentions of abandoning their eff forts in that region.
 The Montenegrins continue a stub- born resistance to the Austrians and Bulgarians on the Montenegro front fer and sharp counter attacks are fre- quent.
 The latest dispatches received state the French are bringing up their heavy guns in St. Rumsitso section, causing the Bulgarians to retire with heavy losses, and a big battle appears to, be impending there.
 A dispatch from Saloniki reports the weather conditions in the Balkans States as being much improved, also, that the complications which threat ened between Bulgaria and Turkey, heeause of the district each has for the other, is increasing.
 The Germans report the capture of 800 yards of French positions near Souain, Campaigne, and the Frence claim to have recaptured portion of their advance trench taken by the Germans yesterday.
