KEEP TIE NEWS SERVICE OPEN

At the soutset of the war Germany
complained that Great Britain was chok-
ing off the avenues of publicity for the
central powers side of the war. Now
that there has come a break in the rela-
lions between the United States and
Germany there is chance that Germany
may be almost completely cut off from
world communication because it was
chiefly through the United States that
Germany maintained wireless service
with the neutral part of the globe. In
case of the declaration of war between
the two countries, the wireless privilege
would, ofcourse, be completely severed;
and even under the condition of severed
diplomatic relations there will be far
stronger tendency on the part of the
United States government to curb the
service, or, perhaps, to censor it. How
ever, the American people hope that as
long as there is no declaration of war
between the United States and Germany,
the wireless service between Berlin and
Sayvile will be kept open inasmuch as
it enables the American public to get a
much more accurate knowledge of the
progress of the war by striking balance
between the official war reports from
Berlin and those from Paris, London and
Petrograd. The Berlin official reports are
a counter-acting influence to the London
reports, an influence which obviously is
very necessary to fair comprehension
of the events being enacted on the bat
tlefeld So let US keep the wireless
communication with Berlin open as long
as practicable.

FISH AND GAME LAWS,
St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

We note with pleasure That the Ju-
dietary committee Of the house and
senate has not yet voted to adopt the
Darling revision of the fish and game
laws of the State. Every one realizes
that the fish and game cannot be pre-
served in Vermont without protective
laws, and there is no protection so
effective as the blanket prohibition in
section two of the 1912 code. The
sportsmen of the State want pro-
lection that will ensure fishing and
hunting for the people Of the State
and they believe the 1912 code gives
the necessary protection and at the
same time allows all the fishing and
hunting possible without the eXtinc-
ton Of fish and game. This they be-
lieve more important to the best
interests of the State than uniformity
in the reading Of the statues

EUROPEAN NEUTRALS.
Barre Times.

A near neighbor to Germany, Switzer-
land would be putting her head in the
lions mouth to follow the example of
President Wilson and break off relations
with the imperial government. Switzer-
lands territory is already seriously
threatened with being Belgianized be-
cause of Germany's policy of doing that
which is the most expedient; and it is
about all that Switzerland wants to do
to maintain an attitude of neutrality in
the great conflict. 1t is to be expected,
too, that Switzerland's example will be
followed by few other of the European
nations which lie in close contiguity to

AUTOMOBILE LAWS.
Vermont Phoenix.

Everybody knows that the automo'
bile has not been properly regulated
anywhere yet, and several of the legis-
latures now in session are going to
take another turn at this very impor-
tant.matter. The Omaha rld-HeraId
points out that without dissenting
vote the Oregon senate has passed
bill which makes it a crime for a per-
son to drive a motor vehicle while UNI
der the influence of liquor; prescrlbes
penitentiary sentence or Jail for the
person who, while intoxicated, drives
an auto in careless or negligent man
ner and causes the death or serious IN
Jury of another person; prescrlbes a
fine OF, $40 day for any person who
shall knowingly employ as a chauffeur
n person addicted to drunkenness, and
requires. the employer of a chauffeur to
discharge him upon verified complaint
of passenger who charges such driver
with having been intoxicated to a dan
gerous degree while operating his ma
chine. One wonders little at some
of the phases and clauses in this bill,
but it is easy to see what the advocates
of the law are trying to get at. They
are trying to divorce alcohol and the
automobile, just as alcohol has been di'
vorced from the railroad locomotive anc
the street motor car.

A LONG SESSION.
Burlington News.

Judging by reports from Montpelier
the Legislature will have long instead
of short session. To be sure more
important legislation has been con-
sidered during the session than at any
for a long time. If the Governors
recommendations, in the main, are car
ried through before propagation in all
probability the people of Vermont
generally will be satisfied even though
the Legislature consumes two or three
weeks time beyond that promised.
