PEACE PROSPECTS NOT WHOLLY

nlsAN ififs
Dcspie the seeming setback which the
peace proposals of Germany have met
at the hands of Great Britain, France
Russia and Italy, there Is an under cur
rent of feeling that the prospects OF
peace within reasonable time are not
entirely blasted. To be- sure, the entente
nations have given but slight considera'
ton To the profler coming from Berlini
but that course was TO be expected in
the nature of events. The proifer was

how the enemies OF Germany and the
other central powers felt about the ees-
sation Of the struggle. There was moth
ing definite about the whole thing ex-
cept that Germany and her allies want
peace. The entente governments, nat
urally enough, refused to commit them
selves to such a dubious program as the
"feeler" undoubtedly was. Premier
LLOYD Georges address in Parliament
was rejection OF the prefer; but 1t was
not a rejection of the idea OF peace. Fur
Their concessions by Germany and her
allies, accompanying a formal statement
OF their position, would undoubtedly meet
with warmer response on the part OF
the entente nations Such course OF
action may be expected.

Two tip-overs of trolley cars in Mas

any rate, both occurrences were OF such
serious consequences as to warrant fuli
investigation of the manner in which the
cars were being operated. In each in.
stance considerable number of passen-
gers were injured more or less seriously
Were the cars being operated too rapid
ly? Were they under control all the

are some of the questions that naturally

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
The Sergeant-at-Arms Position.

To the Editor: The following is taken
from the editorial column of the Rutland
Herald of December Ia;
"In mentioning the fact that he is not
to be a candidate for the office OF SER
geant at arms, Publisher Parsons of the
Northfeld News dominates Dwight }.
Dwinell. Would it not be well to let
the legislature look over the other can
didates a trihe, says Mr. w. Z. Poole OF
Montpelier"
The Herald received its inspiration for
the above from an editorial that APP
peared in the Mortified News of Deeem-
Der II, wherein Sergeant atArms Par
sons. the editor of the News, assumes a
dictatorial attitude by naming his own
successor.
Sergeant at Arms Parsons has held on
TO his State House job since acquiring
the editorship of the Mortified News
last August, as well as since acquiring
residence in Mortified. There is no
law against this transaction; yet IT has
been the custom that the sergeant at
arms hold residence in the capital city.
This, however, is easily and readily ex-
cused. The criticism which is made and
which is we'll founded is expressed in the
editorial paragraph OF the Rutland Her
aid, viz: "Would it not be well to let
the legislature look over the other can
didates trife!"
That's what | am asking, and all that
| am asking, Under such condition |
am willing to take m ychances with the
incoming legislature, feeling that my
qualifications are adequate for the posi-
ton of sergeant alarms.
can see no just reason for my with
drawing my candidacy because the IN
cumbent has selected another man TO
wear the political shoes.

The esteemed Rutland News does well
to warn motor vehicle drivers that in
10 days they must have 1917 registra-
ton in order to run their cars; but the
contemporary is rather off the mark in
asserting that the cars must be licensed
whether the automobiles are lacked up
for the winter or not" A lacked up au-
tomobile is just an inert mass OF reckless
expenditure and the owner thereof knows
not whether he will be able to run it an
other year Under such circumstances,

on automobile registration till the motor
thing is actually put in motion.

Perhaps as significant in its way as
any other bit OF war news recently to
reach us from the battling nations is the
statement that the government OF Sehles-
wig, Prussia. has declared civil conscrip-
ton of school boys, who arc to be en-
ployed in railroad and similar work.
1t is fresh evidence of the degree in
which Germany is feeling the pinch for
men and endeavoring to meet the human
shortage at the front. Nor is Germany
alone in this respect. France is feeling
the drain upon her human resources.
England is feeling it; even Russia, with
her millions on millions, is feeling it..
But it happens that the group nations
of the entente have bigger reservoir to
draw upon than the combination headed
by the central powers. So if the war IS
to drag on to decision through exhaus-
ton of one side or the other, the mathe-
NAUTICAL chances favor the complete drain
ing first of the smaller reservoir. The
world is hoping for some solution less
CHASTITY than this. 1t is hoping that
peace may be reached at some lighter
cost. 1t has no desire to see nation
pacified by the process of determination.

the beligerents will be influenced by the
knowledge of what long continued hos
tilities involve for them.
Germany's deportation of Belgians to
labor in Germany, taking the places of
men released from shop and factory and
called into active service, has given con-
vincing proof of the urgent need of the
empire. But this report from Prussia
means that the need is so great that boys
too young for military service are to be
taken from their books and put to labor
in the national cause. Long ago British
and French reports showed that among
captured German soldiers were many
bows in their teens. This was natural
enough. In our own Civil war the rec
ords show a high percentage of enlist
ments of lads who, in peace times, would
be regarded as too young to leave the
parental roof. 1t may safely be said
that the BOYS who have been remaining
at school in Germany are too young or
too immature 10 pass even the relaxed
requirements of present wartime needs.
That is. they are little boys-too little
to pass for cannon fodder, even now.
