An ENCOURAGING SIGN.

While 100000 contract is but drop
in the bucket, so to speak, as compared
with some contracts received in years
past, even job of that magnitude will
be gladly welcomed by the building gran.
lite interests of Vermont because the
building industry has been decidedly
slack for many, many months. The
awarding of the st. Louis sub-contract to
the Hardwick and Bethel concern will
help little toward giving employment
to more men than have been carried on
the payrolls in those two towns, but it
is chiefly important as indicating perhaps
a tendency toward building construction
in the large cities on the handsome lines
furnished by granite exterior material.
The st. Louis contract may be the pre-
cursor of many contracts of like nature
which would naturally come to Vermont,
as Vermont furnishes the finest
grade of granite for building work

The folly OF placing almost unlimited

which lost $4,000 in bonds and nego-

usual for the reason that the bank in
question is one of the best known insti,

The sortie of German torpedo boat de
stroyers ON Thursday night against th'
British cross channel traffic, together
with their clash with British ships of like
class, undoubtedly means that the Ger
man fleet is practically back in fighting
shape after the great naval clash off Jut
land last May and about ready for an.
other chance to cripple the British sea
mastery, Germany has a great deal OF
prestige to gain and comparatively little
prestige to lose in such an encounter, and
hence it may be expected that within a
short time. if the weather conditions con.
tinue favorable, the great fleet will come
out of its various bases to give battle to
the British. That the British are looking
for just such an opportunity goes with
out saying.
