THE SACRIFICE.

In case we people of the United States
become inclined TO complain about our
lot, how we are offering our sons and
brothers for sacrifice on the field of bat.
tie or on the high seas, how we ourselves
are forced to forego some of the luxures
which we have been accustomed to have,
we should ponder these words from the
Springfield (Mass.l Republican,:
1t is just as well TO keep in mind that
any sacrifices the American people have
been called upon to make are as dust in
the balance in comparison with those
that are made in other countries. We
are very far from feeling the full weight
of the burden that the war of democracy
is to bring In the matter of food we
are only being taught as yet not to waste
it, and that is gain and not loss.
II is true that the people of the United
States have not been called upon to I'M
dergo one small fraction of the sacrifice
imposed on the people of the belligerent
in Europe. What we have thus
far done is almost as nothing compared
with that which France, for instance, has
done. Bearing that in mind, let us quit
at this stage of our partici-
patton in the war

The German soldiers fear OF negro
soldiers is revealed in the dispatch sent
out by the official Wolff News agency of
Berlin, to the effect that the United
States government was trying to raise
up an army Of negroes in order to save
her white people from slaughter and in
order to get rid of the greater part Of
her undesirable colored citizens The
statement was put out with the evident
purpose, too, of trying to stir up the OPP
position of colored people in the United
States toward enlistment American sol
diers now in France report that the Ger
mans dread the coming Of negro soldiers
from the United States. That is WHY
they are trying to fomcnt discord be-
tween the white men and the colored men
of the United States.

PART OF VERMONT is Tagging.

The state headquarters of the Amer.
lean Red Cross society reports that some
of the counties of Vermont are tagging in
their efforts to boost the membership in
the society, while othe; counties are few
| erishly working to reach their quotas
and even to exceed the quotas. 1t is not
fair for few of the counties to be com
PEELED to do the major share of the work
of showing the nation that Vermont is
patriotic and for the other counties to
shirk the responsibility. These latter
counties are not named specifically in the
midweek report from the state head
quarters, but it may be assumed by each
and every family that if they are not
taking hold of this work with enthusi-
asm and giving their dollars for member
ship they are among the laggards and
are retarding the effort of the state as
whole; they are holding back their own
counties; they are even aiding the kaiser |
because of their failure to contribute
small amount toward relieving the sui |
fering and want that the kaiser's armies
are inhicting. If you don't want to help
the kaiser win the war, then help the
United States and our allies by contrib
uting to the funds of the American Red
Cross society, which is doing so much to
help our soldiers, besides doing many
other duties of mercy, such as the relief
of the stricken city of Halifax. The
money you give to the Red Cross is well
invested and you may be sure that it
will be put to a good use. Therefore,
let the laggard counties of Vermont
awake from their lethargy and do their
share of the work.

Having a sufficient stock of coal on
hand does not justify anyone in failing
to do everything possible to conserve
that supply, for waste of the coal is 60
ing to deprive someone else of his share
when you come to the bottom Of your
bin. Each waste by an individual re-
duces the general stock of coal through
out the country and makes more acute
the nation wide shortage. So if you hap
pen to have enough coal to carry you
through the winter be as saving as pos
sible of it in order to give you start on
another winter when the lack of coal is
likely to be far more serious than it is

The allied stagnation in Macedonia
may change to activity with a change in
blood at the head of the allied forces.
General Sarrail has been doing no more
than holding his own for two years al
though it is currently reported that he
has sizeable force under him. OF
course, the operation of provisioning
these troops and furnishing them with
munitions is difficult because of the long
distance from the scene of the encamp-
ment to the allies bases of supplies; but
it is foolish to hold so many men in com

or in harrassing the enemy on the flank.

But now that | have finished it,

The kaiser is pretty bird,
And never tells lie;
But if we had a shot at him,
We'd make the feathers fly.
And now that / have written one,
III try and write another;
And see if this one
Won't correspond with the other,
And now the kaiser is away
So far beyond the sea;
| think may be it's just as well
He isn't nearer me.
And now that I have written these,
| think I'll write some more;
That is, if Superintendent Glover
Don't appear within the door.
And now we've sent some soldiers
over there to France;
And Just as sure as you are boin
They'll make the kaiser dance.
They say that General Pershing
Has watched the battle well;
And plans to get the kaiser,
And transport him to hell.
