DIRECTED to the Green Mountain state
as anywhere else.
The roadways in Vermont are, on the
average, as good as any in the New
England states. The landscapes in Yer
mont are, 20 our mind, the most charm
ing of all the New England states. There
is scarcely a county in Vermont that
has not many beautiful drives; scarcely
a county that does not have several
bodies Of water that are costly tucked
away in the hills.
There is host of people in these
United States, who would come to Yer
mont each year were the attractiycness
Of the state properly set forth.
Each town, through its local board
of trade, ought to take steps to give it's
particular part of Vermont little pub

Paris the Great Objective.

Kitchener is not man to wear hi,
heart on his sleeve. If he said that tho
war had not begun yet, but would begir
in May, he spoke only because he
| thought he was uttering a safe military
commonplace. The conditions for march.
ing and fighting are SO much better in
May than they can possibly be in tho
winter that no expert opinion was need
ed to convince the world that once roads
are dry we shall see things begin to
move throughout the entire war zone.
The most pronounced impetus may be
expected to manifest itself in the west in
the Franco Belgian seat Of war. There
for months the only changes in the po-
sitions OF the belligerents have been due
to oscillations of fortune within very
narrow area. The pendulum never swings
far Gains are oftener measured by
yards than by miles The recent sue
cess of the British against the Germans
near La Bassce is notable Tor the ground
ii covered, the victors gaining mile
on two-mile front.
In the eastern arena the alternating
waves of invasion and repulse have
swept over a much larger space than
along the Aisne At one time the Rus
slams have been west of line running
north, and south through koenlgsberg
The next news showed them rallying
within their own borders. Fierce as the
fighting has been. the Vistula, the Narew
and the Iiemen will witness when grass
has succeeded the snow that now covers
the fields even more furious battling.
The region these rivers drain is one that
presents natural obstacles in summer as
well as winter and abounds in condi-
tions that put terrible strain on the
physique of an army. The summer
nights are cool. the summer days are
intensely hot. fevers abound, malaria
hangs over the half-dried marshes, and
hos pitfalls are crowded. Commanders have
every incentive to fight a summer cam
paign in Poland to a finish as fast as
may be.
Great as would be the effect OF deei-
sive German triumph over the Russians,
tine western rather than the eastern
arena is the key point Of this contest.
Suppose the Germans should defeat the
Russians in a pitched battle which in
volved the issue Of the campagne. are
they likely TO repeat Napoleon's blunder
OF following the vanquished far into the
interior OF their immense empire! Is
it not much more probable that the Ger
mans would rather make their own from
tier mpregnable and then turn their ener-
gies. enhanced by the victory over the
Russians, to breaking down the Anglo.
French bulwark that now bars them
from Paris? Every step the Germans
can advance south of the Aisne Is gain
OF great significance. The moral effect
OF the fall OF the French capital would
be tremendous The Germans do not
realize this truth bit more clearly
than do the allies We may expect.
therefore, that the struggle which viii
have Paris for its prize viii dwarf all
the fighting yet seen in that region.
Paris is sentimentally the key point Of
the war II Il is lost the cause Of the
allies il lost as certainly as the capture
OF Berlin BY the Russians would mean
corresponding loss for Germany-Boston

Donehoo walks rapidly alone through
the most crowded sections Of Atlanta.
He generally carries n cane, but rare
ly uses It to feel his way. He crosses
streets filled with traffic: he makes
turns and corners as precisely as IL
he had eyes that could aee; he never
collides with pedestrian through
fault OF his own. and often startles
his acquaintances by speaking to them
hrst when they pass him on the street
His precocious memory for voices en-
ables him to do this.
During n recent political campaign
in which he ran (unsuccessfully) for
ordinary Of Fulton County. Donehoo
rode on big white horse through
the streets of Atlanta at the head OF
a brass band and crowd of follow
ers He picked his own route. guiding
the horse to different points in the
city, whore he made stump speeches
from the animals back
Donehoo said he could not tell the
difference in sound between a tree
trunk and post, but said wooden
building had darker and duller
sound than brick one. Chairs and
other objects Of furniture have this
dull sound. he said. Glass windows,
marble mantels and most mineral OBJ
jccts have the sharper note associated
with brick or stone buildings, he
stated.
Donohoo possesses what his friends
call psychic" map of tho city OF
Atlanta In his brain. He can be taken
10 any par; of the city In an auto
mobile and then tell the exact location,
nine times OUT Of ten, without getting
out OF the machine. An abnormally
developed faculty for remembering
streets and crossings. and n keen sense
! of direction. probably accounts for
this.
His ability to stand on corner and
select the street car that passes b,-
his home has often amazed his friends:
this he attributes TO his familiarity
with the sound and feel of that par

Secession.

sympathy with the aims of this petition, and
curious TO know what is the truth Of the
matter. Can you inform me?
The positions occupied by John Adams and
John Quincy Adams have brought about the
as 1.-The elder Adams and Mr.. Charles Francis
Adama has done little give himself the real
of this designation. and surely lie has not done
by any accuracy Of information to the
feeling Of his grandfather towards the matter
of secession. Hence, your use of the elder
Adams" to indicate John Quincy with Charles
Francis as the Younger" does the latter gentle
clination to allow him. The whole matter of
your inquiry covered years ago by DR..
Jones' who observed with reference to it that
John Quincy Adams made in the House seces-
sion speeches (which would have done credit
to William L. Yancey and Robert Toombs."
This statement was holly contradicted by Charles
Francis Adams, who accused DR.. Jones OF de-
liberate Justification. in that he must havc known
perfectly well that when ]. Q. Adams presented
the famous IIaverhill petition he did stating
hat he was wholly opposed TO the views OF the
gressional Globe for the facts in the case. and
most abunduntly made out his contention, citing
Mr.. Adsms's statement that the petitioners were
not the only persons to whom the sentiments
of the paper were familiar, and the fact that he
sustained for two weeks an acrimonious debate.
in which he assailed by Wise and Cilmer
of Virginia. and Marshall. of Kentucky, along
with others. and citing, further. Mr. Adamss
description OF conditions In which secession ~
States would be justified etc. In addition--to
throw sidelight on the question--there was given
the curiously involved and Oft quoted scrap from
Adamss address before the New York IIistori-
cal Society In 1899, in which he says that the
people-under the tie of conscience-have the
tho same right is in the people OF every State
with reference to the general government-and
under these limitations have the people of each
State In the Union right to secede from the
Confederate Union itself"
