The American Position

Secretary lansngs statement in
explanation OF the presidents iden-
tic note to the belllge-ents was ex
pressed too bluntly and his later
modification of the language he had
used was evidently necessary to pre-
vent serious misunderstanding con-
corning the immediate purpose OF the
government Yet the secretary told
the unyarnished truth. disquieting as
it was, in saying that more and
more our own rights are becoming
involved by the belligerents on both
sides" and that, in consequence, we
are drawing nearer the verge OF war
ourselves fact which entities MS
ito know exactly what each belliger-
ent seeks in order that we may regu-
late our conduct in the future.
This language ought to please Pre-
mier Lloyd George, inasmuch as in
his speech of Tuesday he criticized
the tendency of responsible British
statesmen to conceal from the British
people the stern facts of the darker
aspects of the war He had been in
favor of truth telling and plain
speech. He now gets it in the first
statement, yesterday by Secretary
Lansing, There is no threat what
ever. Indeed there is nothing new
in these utterances A copy OF the
presidents Cincinnati speech in Octo

CLARKE C. Fits

In the death of Clarke c. Fits of
Brattleboro, Vermont is again called
upon to mourn the loss of one of her
foremost citizens. Coming so soon
after the passing of George II. Bick-
ford and Joseph A. DeBoer it seems
almost as though the Great Destroyer
were robbing Vermont of its bright
est and best.
1t is impossible in brief article to
do justice to Clarke Fits. Vermont
has never had a citizen more loyal,
more patriotic or more devoted. One
of the greatest corporation lawyers of
the country he was one of the few
who absolutely refused to act in be-
half of corporation without making
sure first that the interests of the
state and its people were safeguarded.
When the Somerset dam was under
construction people living in the val
ley below began to fear that perhaps
their lives and property were endang-
cred and appealed to Mr.. Fits who
was the attorney for the company
building the dam. Mr.. Fits immedi-
ately asked the governor to secure
the best engineering talent in the
country and investigate the project
and agreed if they pronounced the
dam unsafe to himself get out an in
junction to stop the construction
Clarke Fits was country boy who
secured his education and start in
life by hard work and earnest effort.
He never had pull and always
won his way by sheer force of ability
and merit. His death at the age OF 4G
is a severe blow to the whole state of
Vermont.
Particularly will Brattleboro mourn,
for his was the energy that has
brought Brattleboro forward by leaps
and bounds. Sometimes in Ais dy3

feeling Of resentment in his home
town. but it will not linser there.
Whenever there was work to be done
in behalf of Brattleboro or to promote
a Brattleboro interest Clarke Fits for
twenty years has carried the heavy
end. He would work night and day
for Brattleboro and often has.
His early death is without doubt
due to overwork for he had no bad
habits. The Vermont state flag az
the capitol should be hung al nan
mast for Vermont has lost sou
whose place cannot be filled.

was such a fiery refusal that one per-

Dutch ofiicials have notsonly not re-

that the end Of the war is a long way
