UNDILUTED AMERICAN STUDENTS.

The colleges of the United States are
fountains of patriotism. So was it when
secession assailed the Union in the six
ties So will it be as long as students
loyalty to country.
Those who listened to the opening adj
dress of President Benton at the Univer
sity of Vermont yesterday learned anew
of the patriotic impulse which is con-
tinually being sent out from our Ameri-
can colleges. The address embraced as
topics the fact that the State university
was the only institution in the country
to send two companies of student
soldiers TO the Mexican border, the re
turn of the students as men. the mean
ing of national life the debt We owe the
nation. the duty of preparedness, the
futiity of pacihcism in the face of a war
loving world, undivided loyalty and
allegiance to the Stars and stripes, how
students may help promote effective
patriotism with universal peace and dis
armament constant objective.
Those are noble and inspiring senti-
ments. They are especially fitting in
connection with the return to the duties
of every day life in and out of college
halls of the brave Vermont boys who
helped to settle our international diff
culties by their presence and faithful and
accomplishing service on the Mexican
border.

DESERVED TRIBUTE TO THE YER
MONT TROOPS.

The Vermont troops who arrived at
Fort Ethan Allen yesterday morning are
deserving of the highest commentator
for the prestige they have won for the
Green Mountain State under command
of Colonel Reeves and the sodierly way
IN which they have conducted themselves
despite most trying circumstances and
conditions, The following extract from
the Eagle Pass Herald, which preceded
them to Vermont. will show how they
are regarded in the Rio Grandc region:
THE Vermont regiment is due to leave
for their home state tomorrow or next
day. Eagle Pass regrets to see them 60
Col. Reeves and his regiment have made
an enviable record and leave many
friends in Eagle Pass.
THE men have been busy soldering
and making the best of conditions from
the day they landed here. and their camp
was turned from a rocky hill into one OF
the most convenient at Eagle Pass and
the conveniences secured by cooperation
able
Eyes, we regret to see them go, be-
cause they made good and were the real
goods. When they get back home and are
mustered out and again resume their
places in private life we trust 1t will be
final and that their services will not be
needed again, but If perchance there
should be a second call and order be to
report at Eagle Pass they will find "A
most hearty welcome"
Everybody knew Colonel Reeves would
make good, and the Vermont troops have
had an experience which they would
probably not surrender for any considera-
ton, even though they may be as glad
to return to their native heath as are
we to have them back on the old Green
Mountain sod
