says nothing more for awhile. Then he
breaks out again. "It-it's got red hair"
says he.
what of that?' says I. aDon't you
think Mothers hair is pretty? Well, little
sisters will be like that some day.
It's plain enough, though, that for once
in his life Sully don't believe word I'm
tellin' him. The worst of it is too that he
behaves like he don't even think my re-
marks worth debatin'. Another chunk of

me it was angels. Who's stuffin' me,

"Why," says l, hitchin uneasy in my
chair, "maybe-maybe it's combination
both, you know"
He eyes me doubtful, like he was hest
tatin whether to put me in the Ananias
Club for good or not, and then he signs
and shakes his head. Maybe" says he.
But say, Pop, they worked off a scrubby
little one on you, didn't they?'
Which had me gaspin and turnin' red
in the ears. "Young man, says as stern
as knew how, "you go straight to bed!
You don't deserve to have a little sister,
you DON'T"
"Ho Pop" he sings out careless, and
grabs me impetuous around the neck with
both arms. just to show how little scared
he is.
And me, didn't mind so much it ended
that way. In fact don't ever want the

THE ALLIES VIEW
BY Albert w. Bryce.

1t seems inconsistent with the char
acteristic sincerity of the German
mind for Prof. Munsterberg, Mr.. Rid
der and others to argue that the de-
struction of non-combatants' lives by
the sinking of the Falaba and other
passenger vessels is justifiable in re-
taliation for the attempt of Great Brit
ain to starve Germany out.
All who have read history know
that every nation that is at war seeks.
and always has sought. by blockades,
by cordons, by the interruption of
commerce and by every war-like
means possible. to starve its oppo-
nent out So ia ras is known there has
never been any exception to this rule.
Want and hunger have been from
time immemorial legitimate weapon
Of warfare, provided they are infiict
ed or imposed by legitimate, warlike
means; and 1t Is even an admitted
principle that hunger and want may
be regarded as humane in comparison
with the cannon. the rifle and the bay
onet, since they hasten the end oil
war, and avert death by missiles and
other violents forms of destruction
while of course they can be averted al
any time by submission

The GREAT CONFLICT +,
THE GERMAN VIEW
BY Hugo Won Kleist

After a lull of several months an
other food of German atrocity stories
is inundating the United States. This
time the campaign of lies and manu-
featured evidence emanates from
France and is being propagated by
English and American agents in an
even more insidious manner than the
famous campaign Of the Belgian Com
mission issued it's famous pamphlet.
charges were analysed and showed
that they were made up of ex parte
statements unsubstantiated by facts
and not even sworn to in majority
of instances.
The latest is pamphlet of unspeak-
able filth, entitled German Atrocities
in France purporting to be a trans
lation of 1.-THE official report of the
French commission, published by au-
thority." This pamphlet is so vile
and utterly debased in its tone that 1t
offends not only against probability
and good taste, but clearly against
the United States postal laws prohib-
iting the sending of obscene matter
through the mails. We therefore call
the attention of the United States
post-office department. to the violation
of the law, and ask for rigid inves-
tigation.

FOREST FIRE PREVENTION
Additional Towers in Vermont and
Massachusetts.


Vermont and Massachusetts are to
be congratulated upon the extension
they will make this season in the
field of forest fire prevention. Both
states are at work upon progressive
programs of reforestation, but the
planting of new forests must count
for little if the destruction of exist
ing forests keeps pace with these eff
forts. Fire observation stations in
this state are already so numerous
and the system of fire detection and
cooperation between local and state
authorities so nearly perfect that the
only improvements possible, appar-
entity, are in the direction of in
creased facilities for fire discovery.
Three more fire observation towers
are about to be established in the
western counties of Massachusetts,
which will give increased protection
to the forests from the Connecticut
line to Vermont and clear across to
the New York border.
In Vermont, through the generos-
ity of the Proctor family. new stone
observation tower, with modern
equipment, is to be erected on Pico
mountain. The woods in Vermont
ale said to be drier this season than
they have been for many years, re-
curing greater vigilance than usual
on the part of the fire patrols which
are now about to be started out.
States that are spending as much in
telligent work and money on the de
velopment of their forests as are
Massachusetts and Vermont, cannot
afford to lag behind in the matter of
fire prevention.-Bo Herald.

Rutland, May ia report that
the f. r. Patch Manufacturing com

100000 order for shrapnel shells to
be shipped to one of the warning ma
tions, was current about the streets
of the city yesterday all day, and
last night Mr. Patch refused to dis
cuss the rumor one way or another.
He did not deny that his concern had
such an order, but further than this
he would not be quoted, stating that
he was not ready to give out any
story.
1t is understood that much new
machinery will be installed which
will make the manufacture of the
shrapnel possible and that the shell
will be assembled here. The work
will require many hands and it was
stated by persons not in authority
that the plant would have enough
work to run night and day with an
increased force for many months
Whether or not it will be neces-
sary to enlarge the plant, as is being
done by the Vermont Farm Machine
company at bellows Falls, which re-
Gently obtained similar contract,
could not be learned last night.
1t is self evident, however. that if
