Washington, ID. c., June 25-
The Liberty Loan campaign was
essentially one of education, and
without the generous and patriotic
support of the press of the Nation
the hope of those in charge that
it would be popular loan would
mot have been realized. The un-
String efforts of the newspapers
4hroughout the campaign were a
constant inspiration to the other
groups of workers. At a time
when news space was at premium
the Liberty Loan was featured at
4ength.
Newspapers and magazines, in
f4heir news, editorial, aud advertis-
ing columns, fought for the success
aof the loan every step of the way.
rThe foreign-language press, in 26
languages, gave daily proof of the
Wndoubted loyalty of peoples of
foreign birth.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

Oh, say, can you see by the dawns early light,
What proudly hailed at the twilight last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perous fig
Ger the ramparts watched gaantly streaming?
,And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that flag still there
Oh say, does the star spangled banner yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dmy through the mist of the Deep
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence steep,
What is that which the breeze the towering reposes
As it ftfully blows, half conceas half discoses?
Now it catches the CLEAN
OF the mornings first BEAM
+. In full glory reflected, shines the stream
lis the star spanged banner, oh long may it wave
Ger the land OF the free and the home of the brave
OH thus be it eversw when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and wild wars desolation
Best with victory and peace may the Heaven rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us Nation
Then conquer must
When our cause it is just
And this be our motto, "In God is orr trust"
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-08-21

One who has carefully watched the
progress made with aircraft since the
beginning of the war now realizes that
although they are as much an essential
part OF the modern field equipment of a
warning country as the infantry has al.
ways been, there are certain things in
warfare that they are not adapted to.
One of these things is the successful raid
ing Of enemy positions, Early in the war
il was found that dropping bombs from
plane moving at 90 or more miles an
hour and well up in the air was anything
but accurate work, Repeated trials and
attempts at overcoming the difficulties OF
aiming while travelling at terrific speed
only succeeded in convincing the airmen
that they were trying TO accomplish the
impossible, Attention was then turned
to other uses of war planes and it was
soon found that they were invaluable
for scouting and observation purposes
and as a help in directing artillery lire.
Air battles are not uncommon under the
present uses to which the aeroplanes are
put, for each side attempts to destroy
the enemy scouts and observation planes.
Because of these encounters special air
craft are detailed for the purpose of pro
tecting the planes doing other work and
also for destroying enemy planes doing
similar work. Accounts of raids into en-
envy territory still hold prominent posi-
tions in reports from the front, but Gre
dence to damage inflicted should not be
given too literally Thus the recent
raids of the entente craft upon military
stations behind the German lines, while
they make glorious reading, are really
of small military Importance. 1t is the
drudgery and monotonoue work of the
scout and observation aircraft that is
really doing most towards eventually
winning this war for the allies.

CURRENT COMMENT

The main outstanding fact in the
Appelmann case Is that the trustees al
though they acquitted the German pro
lessor of the charges, accepted his res.
ignation, thereby indicating that in their
opinion his usefulness at the University
of Vermont had reached nm end The
action of President Benton-u unexpected
and unwelcome to az least a considerable
proportion II not an actual majority Of
the trustees-in reappointing Appel,
mann TO the post he had quilted was
poor judgment, TO say the very least.
Making personal appeal for Appelman's
reelection under the relations known 20
exist, of course could not help involving
the president Of the university. The de.
parture of DIR. Benton on what is given
out as temporary mission to France,
coming at this time, is an honor most
conveniently offered him, for the sake of
his own peace of mind and probably
the welfare OF the institution. Randolph

By-Products of the War.

II is cold comfort during confagra.
tion To reflect that the burnt town will
spring up again with new buildings, and
that all sorts Of virtues will have been
stimulated by the need Of suppressing
the flames and repairing the damages
Something of this kind of solsce is being
felt as the war progresses and its by
products are being more and more taken
into account. Never has the world learnt
SO much in the art of economizng effort
and outstanding resources as it has ae-
quired since August, 1914. Invention,
industry, housekeeping, have all bene
fitted. And the yield is mental as well
as material. The English French hand
book just issued by the national security
league for the use of our soldiers re.
minds us of the new interest in languages
apd of the fact that vast numbers Of
people once insular in their speech are
now busy acquiring foreign tongues, The
nations thus engaged in acquiring the
means of direct intercourse with each
other are simultaneously rubbing up
their acquaintance with each others ter
ritories. Three years of the war have
enormously expanded our geographical
knowledge, The map, once opened for
only occasional reference, is to-day the
indispensable accompaniment of the
newspapers, with the result that each
of us has lore of countries and an
extensive familiarity with some of them,
such as were never vouchsafed to us in
times of peace. The knowledge of peo-
Piles has also been promoted; there IL
wide diffusion of facts concerning their
ethnie peculiarities, course of develop
ment and national ambitions. History,
especially the history of the last 80 years,
was never cultivated so intensiyely as
now, An enormous impulse has also been
given to the study of international rela-
tions, OF diplomacy and of the machin- |
cries of government People want to
know not only where the battles are
being fought, to the names Of the small |
est villages won and the last ridges |
taken, but how it all came about Mean !
while, and best of all, the world has |
been aroused to the sense that in this |
clash between the particular belligerents |
there are common interests at stake /
that you cannot injure one nation, how
ever small, without injuring the rest
that we are living on a planet where
All are needed by each one,
Nothing is fair or good alone;
and that final cooperation between
its peoples for ends precious to human
ity is realizable ideal. The war is not
worth waging to stimulate the study of
languages, to extend our knowledge of
geographical history and international
politics. 1t is worth waging only as
The way out from unbearable wrongs
and as means of delivering humanity
from an intolerable scourge.-Boston

SEEING THINGS souARELY.

No true American doubts the ultimate
success of the entente. That is a gen
orally accepted fact in these United
States and behind it turks danger--not
so acute as few months ago-in that
it has led many to feel false sense of
security. Far too many people are pray
ing for the improbable, the ending of the
war within few weeks, and meantime
are lessening their efforts towards help
| ing make peace come within as short a
| time as is reasonable. The Germans
have characterized their foes as contemp.
tible, but no clear thinking person
among those foes so belittIes himself as
tible
| Yesterdays struggles along the west
ern front are significant of the struggle
that must follow, the struggle that will
go on until the German arms give in,
worn out. The British and French forces
in Flanders and in the vicinity of Lens
were engaged in the consolidated posi-
tions won from Crown Prince Ruppreeht
last week. On the Ypres front the Brit
ish made further advance of 500 yards
along a mile of front. In the Somme
district their attacks were renewed with
advantage Field Marshal Haig's men
succeeded in taking positions near Epehy
and inficting heavy losses on the Ger
mans. In the Vosges mountain region
German attacks against Badonviller and
north of Celles sur PLANE were repulsed
by the French guns and rifles. Likewise,
attempts by the German crown prince
along the Aisne front and in the Verdun
sector along the banks OF the river Mouse
failed. In the air the combined French
and British patrols seem to have trife
the better of the German fiers.
In all this there is nothing that can
give the Germans an ounce Of satisfac- |
tion and at the same time there is no |
cause for hilarity among the entente 1t
is merely story of steady and insistent
plugging, something that Americans
should be well adapted to. Winter is ap-
preaching and winter is hard time to
make decided advances. Therefore, great
material gains in ground occupied and
enemy generalization will probably have
to wait till spring. By that time the
United States will have men actually in
the trenches and there should be several
hundred thousand Americans on French
soil. That will be the real beginning of
the end and that is eight months or more
away
Without attempting to be pessimistic
in the least it can be said that within
all the laws of probability peace viii not
come for at least two years more. Men

fought with and seen the Germans fight,
