A MORE INTIMATE VIEW OF

Rather interesting revelations of con
ditions in Germany are brought to Yer
mont by DR.. George O. Webster, long a
resident Of Berlin, who has returned to
his wife's former home in st. Adams for
soiourn pending the recovery Of his
health DIR. Webster asserts, among 9th
er things. that Germany of the educated
lclass and Of the official class recognizes
the reasonableness of the American posi-
tion as regards the shipment Of muni
tions to the allies, admitting that the
United States is within its rights in per
hitting such shipment. This viewpoint
is SO much in contrast to the crazy headed
acts Of German supporters in the United
States who have tried by every means
disreputable to prevent the shipment of
such munitions that it is very interest
ing contribution to the knowledge of ex-
isting conditions. Moreover, DR.. Web
ster asserts that Germans. who think,
do not have feeling of bitterness to-
ward the United States, albeit they ex-
press the hope that the government at
Washington will be as persistent in hold
ing the entente allies to strict account
ability as they have been in the case of
Germany. DIR. Webster brings back
report Of optimism among Germans as
to the outcome Of the war, although the
people are somewhat dissatisfied that the
of victory is taking so
much longer time than expected. He re
fers also to that strange German view
point, apparently held by all classes of
people, that Germany is the aggrieved
country in this war and that the entente
allies were the aggressors. The convic.
tion i calculated to support the German
patriotism. far-fetched as it may seem

If the progress of events. That the Ger
man patriotism is being kept up to a
fever pitch is the dominant note of the
'eports brought back by DR.. Webster.

AN AGENCY FOR PATRIOTISM
NEEDED.

One of the most needed agencies in the
United States at the present time is that
which would serve to develop the spirit
OF patriotism among the people. to
strengthen the spirit Of veneration for
the republic among those who always
have lived in the confines Of the nation
and to awaken and stimulate similar
feeling among those whose place Of birth
was some other nation. but who have
been receiving the benefits OF residence
among the American people. The United
States is a nation Of such eonelomerated
parts through tremendous inrushes Of
immigrants that i is in dire need Of
some great Influences to weld them into
a compact whole. with but one patriot
ism. that for the United states. There
are already many sgencies az work to.

AMUSEMENT NOTES

Praise of "a Pair of Sixes.p

There has probably never been a play
produced in New York City that received
such glowing. bubbling criticisms as that
given by the ordinarily very-hard to-
please metropolitan critics to Manager
II. Fl. Frazee's production of Edward
Peple's farce, "A Pair of Skies" at the
Longaore theatre, New York For once
the writer's allowed themselves 70 in
dulge in superlatives of praise without
stint, and they showed that even the
critics had enjoyed themselves.
The opening paragraph of the criti-
cism in the New York Times THAT most
conservative of metropolitan papersl
was SO unusual that it is worth quoting:
when the curtain fell at the end Of the
FIRST act of the new farce that came TO
the Longacre theatre last evening. it
seemed too good 70 be true that play
wright and players could keep up fun
all evening 1T so fast and furious a pace.
But il was true The audience that
waited inereduiouslv for that second act
found il crammed full with fun all its
own. and a. for the third and last, the
people on the stage. shout as they
would could hardly make themselves

The precautions taken for safeguard
ing the life Of President Wilson during
his present trip in the states Of the
middle west are reasonable, in view OF
the disturbed condition Of the world and
to a certain degree, Of the United States.
Mems minds are being fomented by the
progress of the warfare in Europe until
some are near the swapping point; and
there is no doubt that some men of
weakened mentality, if not of downright
viciousness toward the representatives
of the United States government, are
abroad in the land--men who constitute
great menace to the lives OF officials.
To protect the officials from that com
paratively small class of malefactors is
an imperative duty 70 protect the
president of the United States is the su.
preme duty along that line. We are glad
to note that extreme vigilance is being
exercised during the time when Presi-
dent Wilson is absent from Washington
and that rather more than usual surveil-
lance is maintained when he is in Wash
ington.

The esteemed Morrisville Messenger
speaks of the rush Of "the last hours be-
fore going to press" We respectfully
move to amend by speaking OF the last
minutes before going to press. The diff
ference lies in the fact that daily papers
reckon in minutes, not hours. The Mes.
senger is weekly newspaper and prob
ably, like many other hebdomadal pub
locations, has greater allowance Of time
for the rush period just before going to

unable to understand why the press can
