would not have rade as tine a scapegoat,
The Vera Cruz inallel, could be blamed
upon him as hen of the naval forces;

CURRENT COMMENT
The Kaiser Swaps Horses.

Old Won Hindenburg, aged 20, is now
chief OF the imperial general staf of Ger.
many. Gen. Won Moltke held this posi-.
tion from the beginning of the war until
the close of 1914, when he was replaced
by Won Falkenhayn, As a specialist in
east Prussia, the commander most familiar
with the Masurian lake region, Won Hin
denburg was called to repel the Russian
invasion early in the war He turned
the tide back and became the most pop
ular OF Germanys soldiers; for a Rus
sian invasion is the nightmare of Ger
many.
Since that time he has held com
mand on the eastern front, pounding
month after month on the Russian pill
low;. an occupation which has been less
and less successful as Russia has gained
the organization, equipment and ammu
milton necessary to the military success
of her fighting men. The fame of Won
Hindenburg has been great in Germany,
but has steadily diminished in the eyes
OF military experts outside. They real
ize that his reputation was against
VIGOROUSLY ill-prepared foe in region
with which he was especially familiar
The reason for the change is the dark
er outlook for Germany. The kaiser is
angry at the entrance OF Rumania on
the other side. He bames his diplomats
and his generals. He also has an eye for
what his people think. The appointment
is both piece of military discipline and
an attempt to please the people.
1t is also the chief bit of internal evi
dence that Germany has assumed the de-
fensive-an evidence of weakness rather
than of strength,-Boston Globe

The infantile paralysis clinics conduct
ed in various Vermont hospitals during
the past year under the direction of the
state board of health and various medical
associations should prove of some benefit
if the disease were TO secure any eonsid-
era bic foothold in Vermont because the
clinics were devoted chiefly to the dem
onstration of methods of treatment for
those who have had the disease and are
left more or less paralyzed in their limbs.
These clinics were largely attended by
physicians and nurses and the instruc-
tion there given can be turned to practi-
cal advantage once the need comes How
ever, it is not expected that infantile
paralysis will make any appreciate in
