In their tour into the Middle West
the members of the French mission to
the United States government are likely
to meet with surprises regarding the
vast area of the United States OF
course they are familiar with the figures
of the comparative sizes of their own
country and the United States; but it
takes actual experience with those areas
in order to appreciate the vast prepon-
derance of the United States in territory.
France is far less in area than the single
state of Texas, the comparison of the
two being as 207054 square miles to
262, 200 square miles. France and Bel
GUM could be tucked away in Texas and
still there. would be room enough about
the margin for comfortable circulation.
Therefore, the members of the French
mission are likely to be surprised at the
vast expanses of the American territory
even though they have the comparisons
in their minds and even though they
may 90 no further than half way across
the continent in their present trip.

1t seems probable that the first offer
ing of the United States great war loan
will be snapped up before the American
people have had the opportunity to put
in bid for much of the amount; but
there need be no fear on the part of the
small investors that they viii not be able
to loan anything to the government.
There is still a major part of the great
loan to be taken up, and most of the
small investors will get chance before
the amount is finally taken. Moreover,
there is more than possibility that the
$1,000 100000 loan is by no means the
end of the war financing which the Unit
ed States government will be called upon
TO perform for the entente allies. II is
quite likely that the amount may be
doubled before the war shall have been
concluded and the necessity for ready
money have become outlived. In that
case there will be plenty of opportunity
to put the government in the debtor col
umn to you.

Reports from various towns through
out Vermont seem to indicate a consid.
cradle influx of families from other
states during the present spring season,
many farms changing hands and going
into the possession of the newcomers.
There is no doubt that the nationwide
agitation for greater crop production has
been a powerful agency toward this re.
suit, the people in other states looking
toward Vermont as the most likely re.
gion for the carrying on of agricultural
operations; but. as a matter of fact.
Vermont farms have been more in de-
mand for several years than they had
been for some decades before that. due
in large part, perhaps, to the vigorous
publicity given to the states agricultur-

May day was especially important in
Vermont, as being the date on which all
horse-drawn vehicles were required to be-
gin carrying lights at night, whether in
motion or stationary, on the public high
ways. The sale of lanterns on the last
day of April was beyond all precedent
Springfield Republican.
The contemporary makes an interest
ing contribution to current fiction; 50
far as reported no dealers in lanterns
have been swamped with demands for
the article mentioned. In fact, there
seems to be great deal of apathy, or
inaction, concerning the law which re-
quires that horse drawn vehicles. with a
few exceptions, shall carry lights at
night. A campaign of prosecutions seems
to be necessary to call the matter sharp
ly to attention.

It was confidently predicted that with
the opening of warmer weather, the I'M
restricted submarine warfare on COM
merce would have great increase in re-
suits. The official figures given out by
the British admiralty during the past
two weeks bear out that prediction; in
fact, they go somewhat ahead of the ex-
pectation of the casual observer of the
situation. The entry of the United
States into the war, with the releasing
of many commerce ships for the aid of
the people in the allied countries, was
quite timely.

THE WAR JOB NOT COMPLETED.

The slowing up, but not the complete
checking, of the French and British often
sives on the western war front is cal
culated to impress upon the people of
the entente allies and particularly upon
the people of the United States that the
war is by no means near its end so far
as its military features are concerned.
Germany may have lost heavily in men
and guns and her munitions supply may
have been decreased to certain extent
by reason Of strikes and disaffection at
home, yet she is far from weak nation
from the military standpoint. Germany
is still capable Of putting up stiff re
sistance to the heaviest thrusts Of both
the French and the British The civilian
populations Of her enemies may have
gained the impression from the extended
retreat Of some weeks ago that the kais-
er's military strength was waning fast
certainly that idea seems TO have fast
ened itself to a marked extent on the
American people, and we have been com
paratively quiescent to our own danger
and to the need Of concerted and power
full effort on our part. The slowing up of
the Franco British ofTensives will have 1
the desired effect Of impressing upon us

How Children Can
Help In The Wal

An editorial in the December Wo-
mans Home Companion says:
You ask me: DO you think the
children ought to have the same sort
of Christmas as usual? And | say.
No. no, no. Certainly not! never
have believed in this stuffing of
children with Christmas sugarplums
and loading them down with so many
toys that they could not even find
them interesting. I've done 1t, l ad-
nit! but this is a good year to stop
it forever! 1t isn't the children's
fault that their Christmas has APP
pealed to their greedy little stom-
achs rather than to their Imaginative
and sensitive little souls. Let their
Christmas tree this year bear crop
of things to give rather than crop
of things to get. They will respond"
