Views of the Vigilant es
WHO'S WHO AMONG
 THE PACIFISTS. By Hiidegrade Hawthorne of the VigiIantes.

There's this man, H. W. L. Dana" ," He sounds American
 How d'you mean, sounds" T mean his name. I'd hate to think the awful stuff he signs his name to was American. Here he is with the other creatures that call themselves pacifists, and are evidently trying to take the heart out of all our boys who are going into this war because they know that America, needs them as she's never needed men to fight for her before; trying to make them feel, if it's possible that they have no solid backing from their folks at home; trying to befoul the fine clear spirit of patriotism and devotion to an ideal that is indeed fit to die for, by base and sinister insinuations- certain ly hate to think such stuff American; but the name"
 Ever hear of H. ". Longfel1ow?"
 What are you driving at? Long fellow-the poet?''
 Did you notice this man Dana's initials ?'
 HI w L. You don't mean he's re- lated to Longfeltow?"
 'Its@a kind of sardonic joke, isn't it. that the author of Paul Revere's Ride should have this pacifist grand son? Longfellow was a gentle spirit, certainly No fire eater no swash- Luclz1er, heaven knows! But the old man knew that there was a time when
 
 nation. And he could put that con- viction into words that have rung in the hearts of three generations. And TOW we have this sort of stuff from his grandson. To be sure, the words of Dana are scarcely likely to ring .n any hearts. You might as well expect a ditch to turn the wheels oe a nAe and make four for bread to give the body of man sustenance."
 Whats Mir. Dsna's own fobe"
 He's professor. Tnerc are a good many professors in the pacihst bust ness. I suppose they like to think they are above the common herd.-and the easiest way to think l: Is by run ming contrary to tho accepted ideas and beliefs os mon and women who are not professors, but just Humans. 4 professor of that type hates to think that theory isn't rhs stronges. thing m the wor,c. goo; theory is Ri: he wants. It ts a perfectly good theory that to fight IS bad and leads to all sort. of trouble. Nothing easier than for the professional mind 70 cast facts Into ths discard and 20 hotfpot on his theoretical track. I4nxfellow was a poet. He knaw and loved his fellow men. He hated war and disease and wicl<edncss, as all wise an6 good men must. But he kr.~ .hcre are times that is in him and tho spiri, that leads l i'm, and ha voiced that conviction in noble aerve. I should advise anyone who has been assaiied by effy of Pro- lessor Dana's propaganda to turn back 70 the words of his graadfathar-and get square with life again"

a very difficult problem as a deco rative flower.
 Of the other New England states he wrote: Vermont Cred clover), Maine (the pine cone). and Rhode Island (violet). Rhode Island shares the vio- let with Illinois and Wisconsin,, and when a flower is the state flower of three states, it loses it's virtue as a special emblem. Nothing could be better than Mainets pine cone and tcsse1, and the red clover is vol adapted to Vermont's history as wolf as it's prevailing ssntf,nent Without the COW, how couLd Vermont live :?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MT. Cummings Theories Of Govern

MT. Cummings Theories of Govern nent. Mir. Editor: While we were looking l for a reply from MT. Cummings to Southerner, on the negro question, he suddenly assumes the better part of valor by lodging off into a new dis cussion.
 l On reading his later issue one is led to think that MT. Cummings should be appointed as 8 kind of governmental conservator to arrange and adjust the fixed stars, municipalities and powers of the earth. He alone, it seems, has positive Information just exactly where the human right ends and the divine right begins. At least, he alone can speak for Ireland.
 convention of Irishnen at the present time is being held in Dublin to decide. if possible, what kind of government Ireland wants, but Mr. Cummings knows beforehand; he does mt need to wait for the convention's decision.
 The new doctrine of liberty and de- mocracy announced by President Wil- sor and approved by MT. Cummings is to rectify all governmental irregularf : ties and restore the long lost Eden estate to n1ankind-the n1aCntim bonum of sage and poet. MT Cum mings is to have his way. and Old Ire land, for whom he is chief to speak. will be the first to taste the apple and other paradtsfacal fruits c: the new faith.
 Through Mr. Cummings periscope we see the cherubim with his flaming sword now protecting the way 70 the tree of life. driven from his post by that other champion of democracy, so that all who wish may freely partal.t of it's fruit and live forever.
 The golden age of the past and the millennium of the future are both dis counted by this more glorious patriotic
 
 There is a great deal of nu:nDug, If not hypocrisy, in all this talk about the restoration of territories to the original inheritors. Those who read far from being the people of Palestine by any right except the common right of conquest And those who know Irish history are just well assured that the present population of Ireland are not of nor descended from the aboriginal Irish.
 The aboriginal Irish were a, peaceful. ingenious and cultivated race. and thece were overpowered and driven 10 the bogs and mountains by Milesian .ntruders from the east and the, as hostile inva ders from the north. Danes and Vikings. robbers and pirates for whom the gentle people of the land suffered the loss Of their places and nation.
 When we speak 0: Irish history we are not dealing with matters Of a few years ago in the lives Of "Shamus-a cocf1al." as the Irish of his time dubbed him. nor of the age of William and Mary. nor of the acts of Oliver Crom- well .a his day. These are all quite modern in the story of Ire1and-the supposed Ultima Thute of ancient his tory.

THE FIRST BLOW STRUCK.

Uncle Sam's hardest blow to Ger many was when he cut out exports to Germany's nearby speculating neutral neighbors.
 While we have heard from Ger many since the act of congress which made this possible that Americas en- tering the war strengthened rather than weakened her, the embargo upon exports has not only called to us from most of those nations commissions with protests, but has kept Germany busy S an adviser of their statesmen and as an exponent of their outras sed rights.
 Germany has also pressed the peace movement with more zeal than ever through Austria. her ally: she has warned her armies they must not waste a scrap of food by military or der; and she has made strenuous ef forts to push the retreating Russians from Ga1icia over the Russian border and beyond the wheat growing sec ton that she might make herself se- cure for the coming winter. in which she has failed.
 IL is probable the American embar- go is the blow which is to be most effective in bringing about peace.

GEN. HARVEY TO COMMAND
!. D. C. TROOPS WEDNESDAY
Future Status to Depend on How

tai Are Bri8aded.

When the District National Guard 10
called out Wednesday preparatory to

service It will be commanded By Brig
Gen. ". E. Harvey. the regular COM
mander. A statement to that effect
was made at the War Department to-
day where 1t was explained thai . call
for National Guard organisation nat
ura1ly included all the officers thereof.
|. In view of the fact, however. that the
! District National Guard does not con-
stitute a brigade. the permanent status
Of Gen. Harvey is somewhat uncertain
1T is considered probable that . br1-
. gade may be created by using the Dis
> trict troops as the nucleus and adding
: the necessary number Of troops from
other organizations In the same mill
. tary division to be encamped at Annis-
: ton. Ala. whore such Organisations
. have an excess Of troops. In that
. event Gen. Harvey might be retained in
command Of the strengthened District
. Brigade. In case. however. tho troops
. of the District Guard are distributed to
: complete the required brigade forma-
/. ton OF the National Guard Of other
states in tho same division It would be
Z found necessary to assign Gen Harvey

"PEP AND PUNCH" SEEN

that is the phrase used by
several military authorities the
other evening who while wit
Messing q regimental review at

were commenting upon the
wonderful Improvement made
by the candidates for commits
sions in about two months.
The remark was passed along
to the more than 1000 men in
the thirteen training units in
the camp and now every man
in camp is up on his toes to
uphold this high praise given
to their work by military OBJ
servers who have been with the
armies in Europe.
