THE CHANCES FOR PEACE.

The situation as between the Uniteo
vived the talk of the possibilities of
peace. That Germany would be eager
to have the war end, with things as
they are, almost goes without saying.
Poland has been wrested from Russia.
German cares little for the slice of
Turkey that has been occupied by the
allies. Belgium is completely q Ger
man province today, and the richest
portion of Northeastern France is with
in the German lines.
On the other hand, the German cred
it has been stretched to the utmost
However much one may marvel at the
wonderful German efficiency, i is self
evident that the task Of withstanding
q league of the chief powers of the Eu-
ropean continent. outside Of Austria
has called for tremendous drains upon
the finances of the Teutonic league of
Central Europe. Germany can make ev-
erything else she needs, but with the
| iron Gordon around her shores, with her
feet bottled up and her commerce driven
| wholly from the seas, she has no way
of making money OF Of maintaining
credits outside OF her own lands.
The logic of the situation, then
points to a strong German desire foi
peace But what have the allies tc
gain by accepting any peace terms
They would be far worse off than they
were when the war began. They woulc
have poured out their blood and then
treasure only to leave Germany, and
the German militarist policy, signally
successful. Yet they have contracted
for war supplies for a year to come
They have far more to gain by fight
ing on, than by accepting an ingloriou.
defeat as the final solution of the ter
rible war; and they are certain tha
peace now will mean a new German
attack, as soon as Germany has re
couped her losses.
The only logical reason for an ac
ceptanee of peace terms by the allie
today would be the conviction tina
Germany can never be conquered. Ger
many believes that, but the allies d,
not. They deliberately planned the eX
haustion of German credit as the mos
powerful factor in the defeat Of Ger
many. That the allies should nov
abandon their campaign, just when tn
plan is beginning to work out, is hard
ly within the bounds of probability.

Is municipal government failure !.
This question is asked in all serious
ness in view of the fact that at q
city meeting in Barre recently only
Il out of 1000 voters attended ii
There is food for serious reflection
right here. How many of the voters
in this town and village do their duty
in attending town and village meet
ings? '-Morrisville Messenger
Paragraphs similar to this appear in
every paper in Vermont at least once Il
year and are commented on back and
forth in an attempt to arouse public
interest. And all the publicity that
has been brought to bear does not seem
to have had any measurable result for
the next town or city meeting usually
finds the voters as apathetic as ever. Ii
has even been found necessary for the
legislature to pass a law decreeing that
bond issues cannot be voted unless a
given percentage, and it is a small one

reason or other voters are very indiffer

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-09-04

The New York Herald makes this
very admirable point on the suggestion
OF peace; Germany wants peace; so
do the allies. Germany wants the free
dom Of the seas; the allies want the
freedom of Europe Where would
peace at this time leave Europe? In
what way would it end the terrible
presence of militarism? In what way
and by what means could a lasting
peace be insured? These are questions
which cause even the most fervent
Wisher for peace to pause in eonsterna-
ton as to how this great subject can
be approached. The thunderbolt was
unloosed and the dragon s teeth were
sown. BY what means can human
agency chain the one and render the
ground sterile as the other?"

The vacation season will virtually
close next week. Many families who
enjoy life in the country are obliged
to return to the cities when the school
year begins fer the children. To those
who can command their time, however,
there is growing tendency to remain at
so-called summer homes drought the
fall. September and October have
charms peculiarly their own, and in
many respects are the most enjoyable
months for country life in New Eng
land.

Too Centralized Government.
concord Monitor.l

While the people of this country
want a tariff commission they also
want the law for its establishment
very carefully drawn. They recognize
that at present practically all the in
terstate business of the country is un-
der the espionage of 81 men, the ag-
gregate number of the interstate and
trade commissions and the federal re-
serve board, thus placing in the hands
of II men majority, the power to de-
termine questions of vital importance
to the welfare of the whole nation.
This is too centralized government and
must ultimately result in destruction
of popular and representative govern
ment.
