The communication in another column
of to-day's paper, in so far as it refers
to the present water superintendent and
city engineer, does an injustice to a
really capable, progressive and indus
trious official, as we believe the great
majority of the people of Barre have
come to realize. 1t is true that Mr.. Lee
is still a young man, comparatively
speaking, albeit he has been old enough
to vote for many years, and he did not
have 1ifetime's practical experience
when he assumed the double position in
Barre; but we believe that he has worked
into both the positions in an admirable
manner and is giving the municipality
efficient service at less expense to the
city than under the former method of
having high-salaried man for each of
the two positions.

GERAtANY's ATTITUDE TOWARD
AMERICA

The present German navy was largely
same man originated the idea of torpedo
ing every ship of hostile nation that
came before the aim of German sub
marine. Under the Won Tirpitz regime
hundreds of ships have gone down to
the bottom OF the sea- and not all Of
them have been ships of belligerent ma
tions either. Frequently ships have been
sunk, the owners of which were of ma
tons well disposed to the German EN-.
pire. Oftentimes great liners have been
sunk which carried down scores and hun
dreds of citizens of neutral nations. The
Lusitania disaster was a product of the
Won Tirpitz regime Of frightfuness.
There has been little discrimination be-
tween friend and foe. Smashl Smash!
Smash has been the policy of the Ger
man admiralty; and it has kept the
diplomatists of that country busy with
their explanations ever since the sub
marine warfare was instituted in retalia
ton for the British blockade. Now Won
Tirpitz has gone out of power. His
domination of the German naval situa
ton has been wiped out. The author OF
the campaign Of frightfulness has been
retired to private life. To have accom-
pished such an important overturn there
must have been gradual ascendancy OF
sanity among the German people, con
stantly strengthening realization that
the German nation was alternating the
good nature OF the whole world while, in |
feturn, it was accomplishing but little in
the way OF destroying the commerce of
the entente allies. The anti-frightful. |
ness party in Germany must. indeed, be
making great strides into power, albeit
the statement is made officially that the
of Won Tirpitz does not mean
a change in the submarine policy brought
into being by that person Whatever
the result, the attitude of Germany to-
ward the United States is likely to I'M
dergo change as the party of anti
comes into the aseendaney.
We shall expect to see less and less of
the indseriminste torpedoing of com
merce ships and return to the efforts
TO cripple the naval power of the entente
lilies.

Imagine, for the moment, that the
United States had hostile neighbor on

suddenly develop with Canada. With
all the present small American army
either in Mexico or headed in that di-

there, the United States would find it
self in a dire predicament and the north

A WELCOME HOME TO YER

Along with the invitation which is be-
ing sent broadcast for Vermonters to
return to their native state some time
during the summer of 1916 the year
marking the l25th anniversary of the
admission of Vermont into the union,
there ought to go a statement that no
especial plans for entertainment are be-
ing made, providing, of course, that such
are the intentions of the residents of
Vermont. There should be no uneon-
scious deception of former Vermonters
into the belief that there is to be a cele-
bration Of the anniversary, only to have
them disappointed in that particular
when they return to Vermont during the

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR


Editor, Daily Times:
| The appointment of Lee as water SUI
perintendent by Mayor Gordon is worthy,
it seems to me, of more than passing
notice. Mr.. Reynolds, the former super
intendent, during a series of years had
managed the water system most faith
fully and skillfully, bringing it to a high
standard Of excellence. Our taxpayers
snd people generally were more than
satisfied.
But one year ago Mayor Langley, as
soon as elected, discontinued the services
of Reynolds. and appointed Lee in his
place. Dissatisfaction was acute and
general-the more so because Mr.. Lee
had never lifted a finger in caring for a
city water system and knew nothing
about it. He had only studied to be an
engineer and at the time of his appoint
ment was doing his first job as an assist
ant under Sinclair, the city engineer in
Burlington.
Think, then. Of the absurdity Of laying
on the shoulders OF this young neophyte
the double office in Barre. that of city
engineer and water superintendent com
bined The excuse that it would be a
saving to the city was "shilly shally"
enough. 1t has cost the city much more.
The only way to have made saving
to the city was to retain Reynolds as
water superintendent and to hire the
engineering work by the day. This work
by the day last year would have cost
the city not more than 5000 and this
year it might be done for 800.
Under such circumstances when the
Socialists this year nominated Gordon
for mayor against langley, city voters
saw their opportunity and improved it.
More than $50 anti Socialists voted for
Gordon. He was elected by rousing
majority.
All these voters verify believed as a
matter of course that, if elected, Gordon |
would reinstate Reynolds as water SUI
perintendent and do his best to secure
lower city expenditures and lower tax
rate.
What establishment, then when Cor
