AFTER THE WAR.

The war has been dragging
along quite long enough for all
Of us to begin figuring upon what
will happen when it ends It is
bound to have an end, and the
end is bound to bring us up
against propositions OF tremend-
Gus Importance. So it IS well to
begin talking about them-and
to study them.
When the war ends It will find
Europe without supplies. There
will be no raw material on hand.
Stocks will have been reduced
to the very lowest point. IN nanu-
featured products. as well as III
the matter of raw materials.
Millions Of people of Europe
will need clothes and other nil
lions vii want something 10 eat
different from what they now are
having served 10 them. and sill
other millions will want tools and
machines OF on sort or another.
So the demand for raw material
and manufactured products will
be greater than It mas ever been
before, and will be limited only
to the purchasing power Of the
country involved.
But there will be still greater
Shortage and more serious one
80 far as Europe is concerned.
and that is shortage OF skilled
mechanics. The men in the arm
les will not be skilled mechan-
les when the war is over. In the
first place, many Of them had
not had training IN the industries
before the war started In the
next place, none of those who
were skilled when they went into
the war will come out Of it as
skilled as when they went into
the struggle. The army units
men for the trades; it never fits
them for positions requiring skill.
Then, the factories Of Europe
have not been turning out skilled
men since the war began. Only
the plants making ammunitions
have been busy. SO the only men
being trained n skillful pursuits
since the war started are the
Imachinists working OH war sup
plies. There viii therefore be a
jdemand such as the world has
never seen fer the mechanical
Iexpcrts to enter.the various lac
tories that have been shut down
Ieinr the war started.
Further, women ar entering

tons which ines Hever thought Of

degree. hut not TO thesaue ex-
tent that it is n Europe.
When the war is over, these
women are not going to give up
their places. They are going 10
continue in the industries in
the industries in which they have
been thrown Women have ney-
er given up any positions opened
up to them, and there is no reas-
on to believe they will do so at
this late day, even if there We're
men ready to take their places
which will not be the case
This country is making skilled
mechanics more rapidly than ev-
er before in It's history. The in
dustries are literally driving the
boys along, giving them oppor-
tunities they never had before

PAGES BANKING METHODS.

In answer to oft-repeated newspaper
questions state Bank Commissioner
Frank G. Williams has this week issued
n detailed statement concerning the
banking methods of Senator Carroll S.
Page. In brief, the questions put to the
bank commissioner were: G) Whether
he had ever had occasion to criticise
Senator Page s efforts to avoid paving
local taxes on his bank stock; (2)
whether misleading statements had ap-
peared in the advertisements of Senator
Page s bank concerning investments in
Vermont; (3) whether directors of
Senator Pages bank had violated the
state banking laws by guaranteeing a
larger amount of out of -the.state loans
than they had a right to.
To all of these questions Commission.
er Williams answers in the affirmative.
And then he gives in detail the history
of his efforts to put an end to the mat
ter. In explanation of the long period
required to accomplish the necessary re-
forms in the Page bank Commissioner
Williams makes this significant state
ment:
1.-The only reason it took so long
to accomplish it is the attitude of
Senator Page and his persistent eff
fort to devise some way in which
the bank might purchase out of-the-
state loans and still advertise in
such way as to lead the people to
think that all the bank $ deposits
were invested in Vermont or ON
Vermont securities -
In fairness to Senator Page it should
be said that his bank is fully solvent,
that the interests of its dcpositors have
been fully protected and that the OBJ
jectional practices have been aban-
doned.
But where does the exposure leave
Senator Page himself as candidate
for reelection to the United States sem
ate? Perhaps it does not constitute u
reason why he should be retired to
private life, yet on the other hand it
cannot be said to add in any degree to
the public s confidence in his integrity

TIME TO BUY CATTLE.

commissioner Andrew j. Felker of
the New Hampshire department of
agriculture is making an effort to in
terest the farmers of that state in buy
ing young livestock. He believes that
the heavy hay crop of the present sea
son makes this peculiarly good time
to enter the cattle raising business, and
suggests that the farmers club together
and send mcn into the cattle countries
outside of New England for the pur-
chase of stock for distribution among
New Hampshire farms. His advice is
equally applicable TO Vermont, which
mas Just as good hay crop as her
sister state and whose farms are lust
as well adapted to cattle raising.
Under present conditions.' saws
Commissioner Fclkcr, "why do not the
farmers in II community cooperate and
send one of their number who is recog-
nlzed az a good cattle buyer, into a
section where good cattle are raised in
large numbers and purchase a sufficient
number to meet their needs.
a good opportunity is opea here
for party to go into the market and
buy few carloads of healthy Young
stock and ship it in, selling it at pub.
lie auction. Dealers in horses are do
ing this continually. WIZ not with
98ftle and sheep? A plan of this kind
worked out and put into effect would
solve a very serious problem that the
farmers will be obliged to solve the
coming winter. There can be no need
on the part of the farmer fearing that
the price of cattle will drop. either of
the beef or dairy breeds, for it is rec
1gnized fact that not only this country
but the world is suffering from a short
lge of cattle.
"In European countries there are too
many consuming meat, and too few pro-
lucing it. From these war stricken
countries heavy demand for foreign
cattle will continue for years to come,
while in our own country every house
keeper is familiar with the prices
charged for meat and milk.
"Our people are recognizing as never
before, the value of milk and cream as
compared with the value of meat, and
the demand for it, even with the in
creasing prices, is growing. This is
creating a big demand for good dairy
cows, and the farmers can make no
mistake if they stock up with young,
healthy, well bred heifers to meet the
constantly increasing demand for good
COWS.
"'My advice to the farmers is to keep
from the butchers block every good,
well.bred calf he can raise, even if the
price for veals are tempting him as
never before.

ALLIES PUSHING FORWARD.
Italians Capture Gorilla and Take 90
900 Prisoners - Russians Continue
To Gain.

The vigorous offensive of the entente
allies on the French, Galician and Ital-
ian fronts is still being rewarded with
important successes. In Austria the
Italians have captured the city of
Gorilla, 90 miles northwest of Trieste;
in Galicia the Russians in quest of Lem
berg have further carried out their en-
beavers toward the capture of Stanis
lau from the Austro- Germans, while in
France the French and British forces in
the Somme region have attacked and
won additional points of vantage from
the Germans.
The capture of Gorilla by the Italians
seemingly is as important a gain by the
entente allies as has yet been attained
in their present synchronous offensive,
the city being the door through which
the Italians may now pass in an en-
deavor to carry out their long cherished
idea of capturing Trieste, Austria S big
seaport at the head of the Adriatic.
In the fall of Gorilla, in which Rome
says the Austrans were completely
routed, the Italians inflicted heavy
casualties on its defenders, took over
10000 prisoners and captured consid-
cradle quantities of war requisites.

KITTREDGE HASKINS.

In the death of Col. Kittredge Has
ms Brattleboro has lost one of her fore
most citizens and the state of Vermont
one of her most loyal sons. Col. Has
kins s life was well-roundcd life,
reaching the four score mark, and be-
ing active and useful to the end. The
record of his activities in public af-
fairs for period of nearly 60 years is
told in another column. He served as
a soldier in the Civil war, was a 33d
degree Free Mason, had filled near
" all of the highest offices in the gift
of that fraternity, and had served as
town representative, state senator,
speaker of the legislature, United States
district attorney and various other ca
pacities, but it was as representative
in congress for eight years that he
reached his highest and most infuen-
tial position.
Col Haskns worthily upheld the
traditions and standing of Vermont in
the national house of representatives,
lie secured a recognition and standing
and had an influence in Washington
far beyond that Of the ordinary con
gresham. His work there is his best
and most enduring monument, and he
will 20 down in history as one of the
really notable men of Vermont.
His life work, aside from his public
Offices, was in the practice of a law

sition, and the respect of all with whom
he was associated.

Next Tuesday the Vermont State
Grange and the Windham County Agri.
cultural association will cooperate and
hold basket picnic ana field day on
the Valley fair grounds. For several
seasons meeting has been held at
Barber park, but this year the Grange
decided to hold it in the other end of
the county and invited the county
farmers association to cooperate in
arranging and carrying out the pro-
gram. The Valley fair grounds are well
adapted for such meeting. The pine
grove makes an excellent place for the
basket picnic and for the speaking. if
the day is hot. If the weather should
prove rainy, the grandstand may be
used. For those who are interested in
alfalfa, the demonstration plot is near.
and during the afternoon, except when
the speaking is going on, there will be
someone in attendance.
At 10 a. m, those who are interested
