CURRENT COMMENT
See Vermont First a Good Slogan.

The Barre Times in its semi jocose
editorial reference TO the visit of the
Bennington county resident to Rutland,
being the case Of South Dorset man
who had not seen this city in 80 years
and was moved to write the Evening
News a letter expressing his wonder at
the marvellous growth and improvement,
enthusiastically and in every other way
the town had in the three decades, new
ertheless emphasizes point worth max
ing, and that Is that a great many resi-
dents of Vermont would be distinctly
the gamers if they would "see Vermont
first"
This very slogan has been adopted by
numerous boards of trade, as well as
the state organization, as exemplified
by the numerous Better Acquaintance
trips which have been made by good
sized delegation during the past two
years.
Rutland does not resent the humor-
Gus references made 20 IL by The Times.

While Great Britain and France, two
OF the wealthiest nations of the earth,
are compelled to sell their bonds below
par, the city of Springfield, Mass, still
is able to command a sizeable premium
notwithstanding that the interest rate is
one per cent less than Great Britain and
France offered for their bonds. Still we
do not see any cause for Mayor Stacy Of
that municipality to take credit to his
administration for the city's ability to
demand a premium, as he seems to do
when he exclaims; '1'm mighty well
pleased. It's very complimentary to the
administration, it seems to me-" To
Others it seems that Springfeld's splendid
credit was established long before Mayor
Stacy took hold of the reins of govern
ment and that It will no doubt be main
tanned long after Mayor Stacy has relin-
quished the office. If the executive had
said that the result was very compliment.

hit nearer to the mark than he did.

prominent standing, one pronounced re-

WONDERS OF THE ALPS.
Changes Nature Wrought to Uplift
Their Towering Peaks.

Nothing In the worlds history is more
impressive than the story OF the Alps.
Ten or twelve million years ago, pos
sibly far more, long unseen line OF
weakness, a crack of assure In the
earth's crust, stretched away from
France eastward hundreds Of miles. On
this line followed huge volcanic out
bursts.
Next ensued vast slow subsistence,
which went on through geologic epochs
until where Mont Blanc now rears its
summit 1870 feet was a sea fringing
an old continent. Large rivers emptied
into it. Deposits Of mud, sand, gravel
were laid one on another as the sink
ing went on until the layers became
10000 feet, nearly ten miles, thick.
Then at last commenced great up
lifting: the struggling subterranean
forces raised d huge load. For ages
this went on until the rocks, crumbled
crushed, contorted, rose above the wa
tiers and continued to rise, forming lines
of mountain chains and making Swift
zerland a tableland.
Every hour since then rain and snow,
river glacier and avalanche have been
sculpturing into peaks and carving into
lakes and valleys that vast platform
with its recent sedimentary covering
and primeval granite core.
The result is a land Of unequaled
grandeur.--London Telegraph.

Undoubtedly it is mere bluff that the
Turks are going to send troops into Bal
kan territory in order to assist Bulgaria
in fighting the entente allies, for Turkey,
notwithstanding her stcnewall defense
against the allies seeking to reach Con.
stantinople, is not yet in a position to
lend aid to anyone. Turkey needs all her
men and all her ammunition on the CALI
poll peninsula.
