her naval activities to such operations as
are permissible under international laws
To be sure, no real American patriot is
completely satisfied with the reply deliv-
cred on May 5, for the reason that the
reply is not a clear-eut statement of ac-
quiescence with the American viewpoint.
1t is loaded down with insinuations that
the United States is unneutral as re.
spects vigorous following up of Germany
for alleged infraetions of international
laws and that the United States ia very
lax in attempts to force Great Britain to
abide by those laws; it is, perhaps, un-
duly insolent and swash- buckling; it UNI
doubtedly does arouse no slight resent
ment among the people of the United
States Yet when brought down to the
final analysis, it does promise to abide by
the rules of cruiser warfare in the treat
ment of commerce ships and that is
what the United States government has
sought for months to have Germany
promise. Germany's condition that it
will expect the United States to bring
Great Britain to time is an after thought
or at least something which was designed
more as a salye for German feelings when
forced to make concession. II Germany
breaks over the rules of international
law, if tomorrow she wilfully sinks
ship without due adherence TO those rec
ognized methods, let there be break in
diplomatic relations instanter. At the
present time the balance is. we believe,
slightly in favor OF maintaining the pres
mt status.

Bro. Thavers Testimonial.

Meanwhile Bro. "Elphie" Thayer Of the
Morrisville Messenger puts in his testi.
mony as follows:
g. Brother Bigelow is tax
ing big chances in starting daily,
especially morning daily. There is
no question but that there is field
for an afternoon daily in st. Johns
bury. We have proved, many years
ago that such daily could be made
to pay when on the Republican, when
a morning daily would not pay"
1t is left to be proven if the "many
years" intervening have ripened the field
so that the newspaper product grows
more readily.

A life job for Sheriff Tracy is wha
the Mortified News suggests in all sol
emnity, and it argues for it in the fol
lowing
sheriff Tracy has made good, as
those who have watched him know.
He has got national reputation,
and magazines and special writer's on
criminology have been attracted to
him, and have written many articles
about the conduct of his office, re-
garding the working out OF the prob
lem as he thought it should be
worked out. 1t seems to The News
as though this is one OF the offices
that should not be peddled out to
some good fellow Crime is being
handled in a different way than IL
was one hundred years ago. Sheriff
Tracy has made this study and to
the minds of many has solved it to
the entire satisfaction of students of
this problem Voters should APP
proach this matter with a view to
knowing for themselves what has
been done in the sheriff's department
of Washington county. He looks TO
be the right man for the job"
The sheriff Of Washington county gets
n early start. Are there any others
n will it be unanimous?

The Vermont National Guard might do
quite effective work in fighting fires in
Vermont; and it is to be hoped that the
imposing of the new duty on the mem
bers viii not discourage enlistments any
more than the influences already at work
have tended to keep down the completion
of the enrolment in many a company.
The members and prospective members
Of the Vermont National Guard may feel
that they were hired to be soldiers in the
event of necessity and not to be fremen.
But at the same time they may be pub
lic-spirited enough to be willing to do a
real public service in the protection of
vermont's forests from destruction.

If the tuberculosis movies" to be put
on by the state board of health in the
smaller towns of Vermont develop as
much popularity as the regular movies"
of the silent drama and comedy, they
will be able to reach no slight proportion
of the population of the state. The more
serious nature of the pictures to be
thrown on the screen should not cause
people to pass by an opportunity for
studying something, the knowledge of
which will prove of great benefit to them
selves individually as well as collectively
as a state. The state board of health is
striving to reach the whole people and
deserves to have its efforts well received,
even received enthusiastically.

THE AMERICAN CASUALTY LIST IN
MEXICO.

1t is difficult to reconcile the reported
losses sustained by various Villa bands
in Mexico with the casualties, or lack Of
casualties, among the American troop:
engaged with them. Ever since the en-,
try of the United States army into Mex.
lean territory there has been only a
small casualty list although there have
been as many as half dozen engage
ments with Mexicsns with casualties for
the latter running into the hundreds In.
deed, if the censorship of the dispatches
from Mexico has allowed the whole truth
to trickle through the American losses
sustained at the time of the Villa raid
on Columbus, n. NJ, were equal to the
entire casualties received by the troops
in all their encounters with the bandits
since that time. For instance, in the en-
gagement at 0jo-Avulus on May s. al
though said to have been outnumbered,
the Americans killed ~ and wounded
many more Villistas, while they them
selves did not sustain single casualty
1t is an almost unheard of condition that
one side could infct so much damage on
the opposing side and yet come off I'M
scathed. OF course, great measure Of
the reason is to be placed with the better
equipment OF the American troops. the
possession Of machine guns alone being a
tremendous superiority and working
against the poorly equipped Mexicans
much as the first firearms imported into
Vermont worked against the lroquois In
dians, who were armed merely with bows
and arrows and tomahawks and knives
Then, too, there are many other features
of equipment possessed by the American
troops which are not to be had by the
rowing bands of bandits who are forced
to travel with light impediments and
who have not sufficient means 10 acquire |
the more costly equipment even were
they in position to use 1t. Moreover, it !
is likely that the American troops are
being led and directed in much more ca
paole manner by officers trained through
long years of experience not only in tao
tics but in the handling of men TO get the
best service from them. In fact, the ad
in the clashes between the Amer
cans and the Nillstas is almost entirely \
with the former, save perhaps in the ma
ives better acquaintance with the to-
and in their adaptation TO the
Innate The Nillistas are not proving
themselves good fighters on top Of their
,ther deficiencies in warfare. For that
-eason We should not plume ourselves as
showing remarkable efficiency in actual
ervice. We must bear in mind the cali

Wobbly Weather

The temperature may continue to drop
it may reach zero. But it may rise
about noon. Atmospheric conditions are
such that anything we might say now
would be only guess. All we can state
with exactness is that it's very cold just
now.-The Weather Man.
This weather lore is mighty compre-
hensive. If it does not snow or rain it
will be clear, and if it is not cold it will
be warm. Everybody is entitled to one
guess, and if he doesn't hit it he will miss
it. The Farmers Almanac, which fixes
up the weather year in advance is more
positive than our uncertain weather
man, and even the humble woodchuck
ventures a categorical statement with
reference to the arrival of spring. Any
how, the woodchuck has the courage of
his convictions and he does not try to
dodge responsibility. The weather bu-
reau appears to have gone Democratic
and is also watchfully waiting.

"The Tendency of War"

The disturbed situation of Europe, and
practically the critical posture of the
great maritime powers, whilst it ought
to make us the more thankful for the
general peace and security enjoyed by the
United States, reminds us at the same
time of the circumspection with which it
becomes us to preserve those blessings.
1t requires also that we should not
overlook the tendency of war. l
recommend il to your serious reflections
how far and in what mode it may be ex-
pedient to guard against contingencies
by such encouragements to our own
navigation as will render our commerce
and agriculture less dependent on foreign
bottoms, which may fail us in the very
moments most necessary.
No, this is not statement by jingo,
or by Republican antagonist OF the
Wilson administration, or paid hireling
of the munitions of trust, of which Mar.
Bryan pirates. 1t is quotation from the
second annual address of George Wash
ington. who was first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen." And the wise counsel of "the
noblest Roman of them ALL is as appli-
cable today to the great republic which
he founded as it was then.
