fensive call. BY anticipating and
even precipitating The orders Of the
Continental Congress in his capture of
Ticonderoga and Crown Point, Allea
headed off British descent upon the
New England colonies from Canada,
and gave the initiative in the great
struggle TO The patriots. Evidently
building on his suggestion, Vermont
founded the first military school in the
Union outside Of West Point, in Nor
witch University; and it put in motion
the whole idea of military training in
other schools by supplying to Senator
Morrill,, the author of the land grant
college bill of 1862, the model for this
form of instruction. Under the cir

ing perfectly the animus and purpose
of Japan in the matter, is about to
acquiesce in the request. Japan Will
be chartered to work her own sweet
will in the Pacific, assured that she
will have the backing of The Allies in
whatever she does.
In this extraordinarily delicate and
momentous state of affairs, what does
our inspired Administration do? II
sends w. Morgan Shuster as special
envoy or agent to Japan. Now Mr..
Shuster is most es.imable man, and
one of great ability. But the notori-
Gus fact is that he is strongly anti
Russian. Yet we send him to negoti
ate with Russias ally! A piece of
more grotesque folly has seldom been
recorded. 1t is as though we were ac-
tually trying to intensity and confirm
our quasi estrangement from RUSSIA,
and to provoke similar estrangement
from Japan. The appointment of Mr..
Shus.er, excellent as it might have
have been in other circumstances, now
gives Russia grave umbrage and
causes Japan to look askan: upon his
mission, while it inclines Russia UNI
hesitatingly to acquiesce in Japan's
free hand in the Ocean of the Flu
ture." 1t is a sad muddle, threatening
us with troubles in the Pacific sur
passing even those in the Atlantic.
And to crown it all, this very time is
chosen for proposing that Japan and
Russia shall be asked to guarantee the
neutrality of vast territories which are
now the indisputable property of the

A PIONEER OF PREPAREDNESS

1t is no. quite true that the statue
of Ethan Allen which will be dedicated
at Rutland, VI, in August next, will
be the first statue to be erected to this
Revolutionary hero in Vermont, since
Their are already statues Of Allen at
both Montpelier and Burlington. Yer
mont has not been in any sense lack
ing in expressions of honor and graft
tude to the leader of the Green Noun
tain boys and the captor of Ticonder-
oga. Vermont is indeed full of Revo
lutionary memorials. The Green
Mountain State, so far as we can re-
call, has never produced a pacifist. It's
record is very stoutly patriotic.
Though Lake Complain represents the
full extent of its contact with the
"briny deep" it is fact that Vermont
has been the birthplace of eight ad-
mirals and rear admirals Of the Unit
ed States Navy and it is possible that
in The course of time statues of all
these sea warriors will rise to keep
company with the numerous monu-
ments Of Ethan Allen and other sol
diers which decorate its cities and
towns. 1t is hard to tell why Vermont
should have produced so many men
who have become distinguished in The
annals of the American navy, but it is
conceivable that the very remoteness
Of the maritime suggestion from the
life of the stalwart youths Of The
Green Hills stimulates them 10 adven-
ture upon the seas
The Ethan Allen statue at Rutland
is to be a very spirited affair. The
hero, as he stands, his feet upon
boulder which seems to crown hill,
one hand upon the muzzle Of his flint
lock and the other held TO his breast in
an attitude Of tense observation, per
sonifies the idea of militant prepared
ness. His head is bare; his sleeves are
rolled up; he is ready for any foe
within the range of his far-seeing eye.

THE CORN THAT WON

early morn, could hear the rus.ling Of
the corn, agrowing away, getting tall

way, where lived the boy, that raised
the corn that won the championship.
This is the way the boy replies: ITO
raise such corn, jus. fertilize-and

the Pacific Ocean and the Far East
But the Wilson Administration was at
that time currying favor with Ger
many, in order to win German-Amer-
lean support at the polls last fall, and
the Russian overtures were eoldly re-
pulsed. Russia then turned to Japan,
at the very moment when Japan was
turning 20 Russia. An agreement was
quickly made between the two Pow

have practically free hand in China.
That explains the strenuous course

treaty rights.
That was bad, but worse soon came.
Having secured a free hand in China,
Japan sought the same at sea, on the
