CARLYLE AND sHAKEspEARE TIMELY

Two nations that agree in estimating Shakes
peare the highest of all poets can differ in no
essential principle that relates to poetry, if they
understand another said Carlyle, referring
to England and Germany. If there are any two
English writers indeed who can be read to more
advantage in Germany at the present time than any
Others they are Carlyle and Shakespeare.
Just Lessng made Shakespeare known to the
Germans Carlyle introduced Goethe to the English,
and did much in other ways to popuarize in Britain
the literature of Germany.
If we yet know little or nothing of the Ger
mans, Carlyle wrote in 1927 lit is not because we
wiifully do them wrong but, in good part because
they are somewhat difficult to know"
That was rather compliment to the Germans
and 1t is to-day a credit to the lish-Speaking
people, including the Americans, that they show
appreciation as they do, even in translations of
the works of Goethe and of other German masters
including with prominence Luther's ''Table-Talk, :"
called by Carlyle "a venerable classic in our Ian
guage.'
Shakespeare, who seems to be the common prop
erty of English and German people, and whom the
latter have at times actually claimed as more theirs
than he is the formers is apparently favorite in
Germany at present. A University of Berlin pro-
fessor says of Henry W. that to read it or see it
in a theatre is always the most uplifting thing
in war time
Certainly Henry W is warlike play. and so
far as Germans concerned it has the peculiar
merit OF including passages which express anmosity
toward the French while at the same time embody-
ing expressions of hatred for the English as the
scene changes to France, since in the body of the
play England and France are at war.
Now we'll resolved" says Henry V and
IL must be at this point that the Germans see in him
a similarity to their Kaiser, "and by Gods help
and yours the noble sinews of our power France
being ours, we Il bend it to our ave. or break it all
to pieces
No less expression of a sentiment fitting at
this time, and which perhaps is the most pleasing
passage in the play to the most warlike of the
belligerents of whatever country. is the exhorta-
ton of Henry
In peace there's nothing so becomes man as
modest stiffness and humility, but when the blast
of war blows in ears then initiate the action of
the tiger; stiffen the sinews summon up the blood
disguise fair nature with hard-favour d rage"

What is a vermonter?

We are glad to note in the Vermont
Advance that what the Pcst-Standard
was saying a few days since about the
idiosyncrasies and glories of the state
of Vermont represents the sentiments
of its inhabitants. VermCnters glory In
Vermont; they like it just as it is;
their only sadness comes from the fear
that others do not appreciate its Yer
nominees.
The Advance prints an interesting
piece about what Vermonters have
done in other fields CT activity. 1t men,
tions Louis Sherry, who came blame
near running Mr.. Delmonico off the
map of Broadway. 1t mentions George
Dewey, who added glory to his country
by telling Diederich where he got off.
1t mentions Eugene Foss, the most yer
satile candidate for whatever's loose
since Bryan S last campaign. 1t men
tions Stephen A. Douglas, Jim -
Fiskc and other Nermonters who went
elsewhere and cut a wide ,swath.
1t mentions Ethan Allen, the leading
Eermcnter and Green Mountain Boy in
history, and adds significantly that
Ethan was born in Connecticut. Out of
forty-nine Vermont governors only
twenty-six We're born there. The rest
were outsiders, aliens from other
states, outlanders. And yet in the pres
ent campaign there are Vermonters
who are declaring that a certain can
didate should be discouraged and de-
feated because he came from some
other state. The Vermont editors who
have been crying - stranger and
outsider should, The Advance thinks,
retire to the rear of the hall and as
sumo sedcntary posture.

Every Farm a Factory.
(St. Albans NIessenger.) }

A great concern manufacturing farm
machinery has sent out a booklet which
bears on one of its covers the statement,
Every farm is a factory" Which isn't
exactly true Not every farm Is factory,
but every farm should be. And the num-
Der that are is increasing, thanks to the
impetus that has been given by the sclen-
tifc farming propaganda.
The farm is, or should be, a factory in
two senses. First of all, the same scientific
management that has brought such results
in increased efficiency in the purely indus
trial world is needed and applicable to the
farm. The farm needs the same kind of
efficient management, the same kind of
planning and forethought, and the same
kind of analytical accounting that is neces-
sary in the industrial plant. The same
kind, If not in the same degree. Otherwise
there is a waste of effort and waste of
capital; the farmer does not receive the
income that should be his and the public
has to pay increased prices, for sllpshod
methods are always the most expensive.
| In another way it can be truthfully said
that every farm is a factory And this Is
| that every community that has a success
full farming community as a hinterland
must be successful For successful farming
means that the farmers have more money
to put into trade. And industry is directly
stimulated by successful agriculture
| "Creameries follow the dairy COW and the
| truck patch calls for the canning factory
] This is the reason why business associa
tions in the towns and cities are devoting
more of their time to the building up O.
! the farming community In their vicinity
A town or city that closes its eyes to The
profit that comes from a prosperous coun
tryside is blind, indeed For with prosper
ity on the farm, and here in Vermont ther,
cannot help but be prosperity if the farm
is considered as factory, the town anc
city viii in turn be prosperous. It can
be figured out any other way on basis o
sound economics.

COLLECTION OF COINS
WAS LIMIT OF BOOTY
Burglars Raid on Railroad Station at
Newfane Not Very Fruitful
Curious Rings Untouched.

w. C. Ballou, station agent at New
fame, where burglars sought wealth
Tuesday night by prying open the safe,
as reported in The Reformer yesterday,
said today that small collection of
old coins of no great value was all
they obtained in their raid. They Sc
cured no mileages and no cash Of mod
ern days. Some curious rings that were
in the same receptacle with the old
coins, were untouched, indicating that
it was money only that they wanted.
Mr.. Ballou was in Boston when the
burglary was committed and no one ex-
cept him was able to determine what
had been stolen. He says that while
one of the coins was 1l0 years old and
there were some coins of foreign coun-
tries a few dollars would cover the
actual loss.

ONLY BEGINNING
OF BIG ATTACK
Gains Already Made by Entente Allies Preliminary
to Still More General Offensive Movement
Russians Resist Won Hindenburg's Energetic
ive-FrenchWa Office Claims important Gains

Further important gains by the
French in the vigorous continuation OF
the general offensive movement of the
entente allies on the western front are
reported by the Paris war Office today.
The allied attacks along fronts in the
west totaliEg less than 50 miles are
regarded in England as only begin
ming Of the offensive movement.
The Russians are stiH holding off
Field Marshal Won IIindenberg at
Dvinsl,, but apparently are having more
difficulty in resisting the energetic
movement he is making against them at
Osmiana, southeast of Wilma, in a sweep
10 the southeastward in lii effort to
head Oft the Russian army.
Petrograd admits the Russians nave
been forced to retire somewhat m the
Osmiana region. While the Russian
forces arc seemingly in rctropra6c
movement in Volhynia they are keep
ing the upper hand in Galicia, ac-
cording to last report, driving back the
Teutons in combat along the Stripa
The great drive of the entente allies
on the western front is making i'm
portant headway in the Champagne re-
gion Of France. Paris claims n notable
advance and Berlin comedies the French
have gained ground, announcing that
hill No. 101 north of Massiges has been
lost TO the Germans. 1t is likewise ad-
mitted by German army headquarters
that French troops succeeded in pene-
trating the German line in two small
sections near Souchez, south of Lens
in the Artois region. French attacks
south of Arras were easily repulsed
while a brigade that pushed through
the German outer line in one point in
the Champagne was broken up, 500 men
being captured.
The Paris war office in chronicling
the advance in Champagne announced
that footing in the German second
line was secured. In this district the
French are pushing for strategic rail
road line just behind the German front
and according to their claim must be
very close to it. Air men have bonn.
barded various stations along this line
Important supporting works to tho
south of Ripont in this section also
were taken, Paris asserts, completing
conquests Of first German defense
line. The only resistance to the Ger
mans in the Artois district, where tht
british and French arc puShinp thci
lines forward toward Lens, with tn
eventual taking of the important cit
of Lille apparently in view, was a

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. - The
West Indian hurricane was centered
over the interior of Mississippi this
morning, but it had greatly diminished
in force. The storm is not over, as it
maintains considerable intensity and is
causing general rain throughout the
South Atlantic and east gulf states
During the night it caused wind of
hurricane force on the middle gulf
course and the weather bureau ordered
continuance of storm warnings.
Indications are that the storm is
moving in a northeasterly direction
and that it viii cause rain everywhere
east of the Mississippi river except in
the lake region.
