ANOTHER PLAN TO INCREASE
CROP ACREAGE

One of Potter County's we'll
known patriotic Germantown citi
zens is Brother William School, of
Gettysburg, "ex-treasurer, ex-
reg" &C., and one of the oldest
settlers. Probably there is no one
in the county more interested in
the farmer, OF his success, than
Mr.. School. He is also a student
of the great world-war, and being
neutral until we also declared war
he was the first to suggest that the
neutral powers make use Of aero
planes to drop among the ranks of
the troops at val in Europe a note
or leaflet, that at a certain hour,
the soldiers should strike, both
sides. This idea has been adopted
in n respect, viz, President Will
sons message to Congress in favor
of war was distributed among the
French and English soldiers in the
trenches by said method.
MI. School now. suggests to the
many fasteners who hold land in
this, as we'll as other So. Dakota
counties, a large area of which is
land that was at one time plowed
up and cultivated, but allowed to
90 back to sod. that they ought
now to Get the land plowed up and
pat into flax or other crop, furnish
seed. &c, for half of the crop. 1t
would he but a small outlay to such
owners, and they would in follow
ing years be attracting renumer-
alive renters who would want the
land. AS another result, it would
be assisting in producing the big
ger crop that is sure to be needed
both here and thruont the world
before the world-war is concluded.

Prisoners for Road Work.

If plans at present being worked out
by Governor Graham, Judge J. E.
Weeks, director of state institutions,
and the various sheriffs in this state
mature it is probable that by the first
of July large part of the Jail popu-
lation Of the state of Vermont will be
at work on the state highways.
Governor Graham, in discussing mat
tiers of interest in Vermont, spoke of
the great difficulty in obtaining labor
which is being experienced in the
country districts. The scheme Of
working Jail inmates on the public
highways has been tried out success
fully in other states and it is the in
tention of Governor Graham to work
out such plan in Vermont, thus Civ
ing those who understand farming an
opportunity to remain on their farms.
Following the governors suggestion,
the men who would naturally at this
time of year be employed on the high
ways at road construction have not yet
begun their work which has been CIV
en- up until June 1. At that date if it
is found that they are needed to carry
on agricultural pursuits the work will
be given up until July and possibly
all work, except that which is already
started and must be completed, will
be suspended this season.
The plan of working the Jail inmates
on the states roads has many favor
able points. 1t will give those who
are confined an opportunity to earn
money while serving their sentences,
will keep men in agricultural pursuits
rather than putting them on the high
way work and, incidentally, will relieve
the state from supporting loafers who
would rather be locked up than earn
a living.

cost thousands of lives and will leave
permanent mark upon the health Of
al least one generation of French
women and children Of the invaded
district.
We have had German ruthlessness
designed TO intimidate a population
for the period of the war and for the
purposes of the campaign, but it is
necessary to recognize that the pres.
ent ruthlessness is directed to the flu
ture, is designed permanntly to weak
en- nation whose conquest by arms
has been beyond the German power
in the present war. Germany expects
to bleed France as white as possible
in this war and to attack her again as
soon as possible.
We are now in the presence Of one
of the supreme atrocities of human
history-the deliberate effort to muir
der nation, the effort to destroy the
women and children, to obliterate
every piece of machinery incident to
human life and industrial progress.
We are seeing ruthless scientific
barbarism writing its handiwork over
what was once the fairest corner of
Europe.
Every monument of the French past
within the German grasp or within
the reach Of German artillery is being
destroyed. Every factory has been
Quilted of its machinery, every little
detail in the farm life of the peasant
turned into ruin. Everything that
could possibly contribute to destroying
not the present but the future of
France has been done.
Let us recognize scientific barbarism
for what it is worth. Let US recog-
nize that there is for this spirit no
answer save that Of defeat; no peace
by negotiation now will protect the
world from new recurrence Of Ger
man invasion, and it is only when
there is set forth within the German
frontiers a lasting evidence Of what
German methods lead to that we shall
have an assurance of no future repe-
tition in the world Of what we are now
seeing.

WHY THEY DO IT

There ought to be no mistake among
the American people as TO the mean
ing Of what the Germans have done
and are doing in Northern France.
The devastation and destruction Of
property and Of lives are not Incl
dents Of war. They are not mainly
directed TO achieve certain stragetic
results. They are the ultimate ex-
preston of scientific barbarism and of
savage calculation.
The German professors, the Ger
man pubicists and the German sol
diers long ago warned us Of what they
intended to do when once more the
German armies entered France. From
Bernhard up or down the scale, as
one may care to express it. there was
the same declaration that France was
10 be dealt with that she should never
again cross the German path.
The German attack upon France has
failed TO destroy France, The Ger
man invading armies are already re-
treating, but the present policy of the
German soldiers is so To destroy
France as to leave open a pathway
for later invasion and SO to cripple
France that she may not be able To
recover her strength before Germany
is again ready to attack.
II is not TO the present but to the
future that the destruction in France
is now directed The Germans are not
turning Northern France into desert
merely or primarily TO impede the ad-
vance of victorious Allied armies.
They are endeavoring to cripple
France for half century at the least,
70 prevent another such recovery from
war as France had in 1870. They are
deliberately, methodically, Teutonical-
ly laying waste the fields, destroying
the trees, dynamiting the mines,
wrccking the canals, in the hope and
with the intent that France shall never
again recover.
The policy of determination with
regard to the populations Of the in
vaded districts has been carried for
ward from the beginning of the inva-
sion. At first we had murder, then
starvation, then that slavery which

Death of Professor Seeley

Prof. Henry M. Seeley died Friday
evening at his home in Middlebury
He was for many years one of the best
known college professors in Vermont
holding the chair Of chemistry and
natural history in Middlebury College
from 1861 to 1895.
Since then he had been professor
emeritus. Several years before com
ing to Middlebury he taught in the
medical department Of the University
of Vermont. .@,a.
He was candidate of the Prohibition
party for governor in 1885 and 1888.
For three years he was secretary OF
the Vermont board. of agriculture and
edited the reports from 1875 TO 1878.
He was a member of the American
Chemical Society, the Geological So
ciety Of America, and Of many other
scientific organizations.
He was the author Of papers on the
geology of Lake Champlain and other
scientific subjects.
Professor Seeley was born October
2, 1928, in Onondaga, N. Y. He was
graduated from Yale in 1856 and re-
ceived the degree of doctor of medi-
cine from the Berkshire Medical Inst-
tuition in 1857. He became immedi-
ately professor of chemistry in this
famous institution where he continued

still outstanding, the total receipts
from the Rutland Ladies Hospital Aid

II is expected that the sum will reach
at least $725 when all the money has

TO put aside one-third of the amount

lagos and the French cities. There
must be returned TO the French manu-
featuring districts that machinery
stolen out Of France. There must be
returned 10 the little people and the
little farms those utensils Of agricul-
tural life which have been carried off
TO Germany. Every German invading
army brought with il means Of trans
portation 10 carry back into Germany
all plumber that could be collected.
Everything of beauty that was not
too large TO transport has been swept
into the German treasury. No army
of locnsts moving into an Algerian
cornfeld has ever wrought more com
plete destruction than this German
horde.
And il is TO misunderstood the
whole German thing TO regard this as
an accident or an incident Of war. 1t
is final expression Of the German
determination to destroy that on the
ruin it may build Germany. 1t is a
determination of people regarding
themselves as superior" to wipe out
another race that it may enjoy su-
preme power. Germany is today as
yesterday seeking permanently to
kn 10 M ia ~
waste that she may cripple, realizing
that another blow will be necessary TO
attain her full purpose.
Let US keep clearly in mind in the
weeks and months hereafter when
German cries for peace are heard
what the German actions have been as
contrasted with the German profess
sions. They cry out for humanity
who murder children and dishonor
women. They cry out for civilization
who destroy everything that signifies
civilization. They weep for the suf-
ferings of mankind who do the things
that are now spread forth upon the
map of Northern France.
The German spirit is the spirit of
scientific barbarism. Its conquests
have been over an unscientific civiliza-
ton. Its ultimate conquest will be
supreme unless mankind recognizes
the quality and the character and the
peril and deals once and for all with
the spirit.
What the Germans are doing in
Northern France is clear. Why they
are doing it should be equally clear.
They are seeking in so far as it is
possible to destroy France, to make a
recovery of the French people slow
and difficult, and therefore to leave
the door for new invasions swung wide
open. Unless that judgment which is
due is visited upon the German people
the war will have been in vain. Not
because one hates the German people,
but because one loves civilization, hui
manity, decency, one must fight until
this German spirit is conquered and
until the German people perceive
that it leads to destruction and agony
not in Picardy and Artois and Cham
payne alone, but in Bavaria, and
Baden and Brandenburg also.-New
York Tribune.
