MENTS.

W LIN L -
We cannot agree with the esteemed
Burlington News that it was excessively
shabby treatment for Vermont and for
New England" that the war department
did not notify Vermont and New Eng
land that the New England troops of
National Guard mot the national army,
as the contemporary states were about
to leave for France. We hold that it was
a reasonable adherence to a proper CEN
sorship that the information was with
held from the public until such time as
the troops had arrived on European
shores. 1t is not good military tactics
to announce to the enemy that troops are
about to be moved on the battlefield. nor
is it good tactics to let out transporta.
ton information when there are so MANY
spies in the United States as there UNI
doubtedly are at the present time. More
over, to maintain policy Of silence re-
garding the movement of Vermont troops
and New England troops is a measure
of insurance of those troops against dis
aster, either in rail transportation on
the North American continent or in
steamer transportation across the water.
Therein the United States government
has taken leaf from the British book.
as the British government saws nothing
about the transportation Of troops until
the arrival of those troops at their des.
tination, We hear nothing about the
sailing of vessels carrying Canadian con
tingents, and the Canadian public does !
not know just when those troops are TO |
sail for Europe. The wisdom Of that
plan is demonstrated by the fact that
not single transport carrying Canadian
troops has been lost by reason of sub /
marine attack. IN our own case we knew
that the Vermont and other New Eng /
land troops were TO sail some time for
France and we had been preparing our
selves Tor should have been preparing
ourselvesl against that shock. So far we
had been Jet into the secret ii the United
States governments but further than
that We were not permitted 70 know. be-
cause TO Oct the public know would have
been to lend the same information 20 the
enemy by the mysterious means which
the enemy has learned "a u-e. 50 We are
inclined 70 disagree with the Burlington
contemporary which expressed the opin
ion that the people Of Nev England had
been shabby treated BY the government

While it is commenting on war things,
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican ought
to take cognizance of the fact that the
government is forced to shift men from
the drafted army in order to fill up three
southern divisions of the National Guard,
making up for the deficiency where the
states failed to make good Perhaps the
contemporary will find out that Vermont
was not so terribly backward in service
