In my previous comment on
the European war. Z said | believ-
ed Germany is already beaten.
The statement. of course. did not
mean that Germany would not
have military victories: II did
mean that Germany could not be
the victor in the war.
The defeat of Germany is in
evitable If England. France. Rus
STA and Italy maintain their ALI
ance: and / cannot believe there
Will be any break. The war the
Germans forced upon the rest of
Europe is q a "a of the allied
people for the maintenance and
extension of democracy and for the
overthrow of the a%utocracy which
Emperor Wilhelm has built up.
The defeat Of Napoleon made
necessary the growth Of democ-
racy in Great Britain. during the
century that has elapsed since his
overthrow. Great Britain's vars
have been made by the British
people. not by the British aris-
tocracy. The dependencies of
Great Britain-Canada. Australia.
New Zealand and South Africa
are now in fact democraCies: and
note that the South African Fed
Grafton. which followed the Boer
War. is far more democratic than
was the government which Paul
Kruger and his associates fought
TO maintain. The grant to the
South African Federation OF an
autonomy like that previously es-
tablished in Canada, Australia
and New Zealand. was made be-
cause the British people would not
tolerate there a colonial govern-
ment such rs still prevails in
India.
The enemies OF Great Britain
have said that this wal was I'M
dertaken by the British for the az
tension of their trade and not for
the preservation OF a democratic
civilization within the British EN-
pire and the extension in other
countries Of a democratic Civili-
cation az least as liberal as that

Several farmers are reporting that
their hay is all secured and everywhere

Two OF the summer seeded demonstra-

week one at c. A, Badgers at East Mont
peler, and the other at d. r. Bisbee's at
Waitsfeld Part of Mr. Badgers field
was sowed last June with nurse crop
of barley. The barley was cut this week,
The alfalfa has done well, probably aver
aging 10 inches in height. The cutting
at this time will enable the young alfalfa
plant TO get good growth before going
into the winter. Mr.. Bisbee's sowing WAS
about third of an acre, taking eight
pounds Of seed. A portion of the field
was left unlimed, the balance being lined
at the rate Of two and one-half tons TO
the acre. The ground was in grass last
year, plowed last fall. a good coat of
manure applied this spring, and was kept
narrowed until the sowing. Both Grimm
and common seed were sowed and small
check plots left, where uninoculated seed
of each kind was sowed
Seedlings of alfalfa win be made this
week on the farms of A. f. Smith & Son
of east hill, George Dillingham; of North
field. and George Wallis of Waitsfeld.
There will be some seed left over, so IL
any wish to try small plot arrange
ments should be made with the county
agent at once, as this is the last week
that it will be practical to sow the alfal-
ia.
George Mcfarland has Just cut this

nice clean alfalfa hay, about 32 inches
