the weather very comfortable.
The day was clear ana the views from
the Summit were unsurpassed. The snow
was from two to three feet deep and set

few cartridges and other birds. The
tracks of large buck followed the road
from near the Halfway House to the
Summit. A dog which followed the par

anna Exposition at San Francisco. De-
spite the encouragement of the war in
Europe and the generally unsettled con-
ditions throughout the world, the big
show is complete and is free from debt
This state of affairs is something unusual
in such enterprises and is distinctly com
plimentary to the hustling western folks
who projected the exposition and who
have surmounted many obstacles in car
rying it forward. Forty-one nations and
forty. three states and territories of the
American union are represented at the
show, which is likely to be a success, as
it will attract many Americans who

Cold and bitter weather;

Shut the window, light the lamp,
To the hearth draw higher;
Thaw out hll the frost and damp
At the open fire.
Toss backlog on the blaze.
Spread the circle wider,
Talk and talk of other days
Fetch jug of cider.
Crack the nut and crack the jest
Mid the laughter lusty
Now and then among the rest
One is stale and musty.

And the apples mellow:
Even lovers must be fed
Sally's got fellow!

There is rejoicing among the Democra,
cy, and among all Others for that matter,
in the selection of Harland B. Howe oil
ST. Johnsbury as United States District
Judge, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Martin. While there are
Others in that party who would liked to
have been named it is generally conceded
that in selecting Mr.. Howe the President
has not only rewarded faithful party
man but chosen one who is in every way
we'll qualified to fill the important posi-
ton. Although young in years, being
only AZ ne has proved himself an able
lawyer and had built up a large clientele.
A staunch Democrat he was twice the
candidate of his party for Governor,
both times polling large vote. In this
new position he will take the best wishes
of Vermonters generally, for the reason
that he has friends in all parties and is a
Vermonter through and through.

1t is the best thought of Americans
that no nation in Europe wants to drag
the United States into this terrible for
eign war. 1t does not concern us beyond
our humanitarian interest. We have no
selfish feeling whatever and cannot have.
The United States wants peace-univer-
sal peace, industry, education and hu-
man advancement. Our whole history
is one of liberty and opportunity and in
dustrial peace. OF course there will al
ways be more or less sympathy among
those who sprang from the soil of the
contending countries and they will take
sides IN discussion with their Netherlands,
but we believe that no American born
citizen-no matter where he originates,
whether born here or in Europe-who is
a citizen of the United States will ever
lose sight of the fact that this is the
country to which he belongs and to
which he owes his faithful and absolute
allegiance.

FAVORS GIVING
OUT STAFF PLAN
Garrison Will Urge Tt on Mr.. Wilson
More Radical Than President
Preparedness Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. = Imme-
date publication of the report OF
the army general staff on the military
needs of the country, differing ma
terially from the administration s con
tinental army plan, will be urged on
President Wilson by Secretary Garrl-
son.
The secretary, who has described the
plan to be recommended to congress as
only step in the right direction, said
he believed the public was entitled to
all available information relating to
the national defense.
The general staff has made an ex-
haustive study of the problem of de-
Tending the country and its insular
possessions. It's report, it is under
stood, recommends increasing the reg
ular army to 100000 men permanently
with the colors and with reserves of
100000 fully trained men. Behind this
line it is proposed to have 100000
men with at least a year S training,
giving the country an army of about
100000 fully equipped and easily
modified.
/ The administration plan was pre-
pared by Mr.. Garrison and a special
board after careful scrutiny of the
staff report. 1t was decided that the
staff proposals were of such a radical
nature there virtually was no hope OF
getting them through.
Various unofficial estimates have
placed the cost involved at more than
twice that of the continental army
scheme, which would reach 100000,
900 in six years. The first year S ex
penditures under the staff plan. it was
said, would approach $400,000,00G an6
the continuing expense be proportion
ately heavy.
