this. Experts knew it, and many pub
lie men voiced the appalling lack of
preparedness displayed by our govern
ment. Yet three years of war, with the
menace of this comtry's interest there
in drawing constantly nearer, failed to
spur our government to such simple,
proposal as getting rifles
enough for a real fighting army.
The same dilatory policy prevailed in
the navy department, with the secretary
thereof dallying along with warships con-
struction and not even doing what Con-
gress had authorized him to do.
1t was all one with the silly sense of
false security, from which we are only
now being actually aroused by the draft
ing of our young men into the service
of the only army of European proper
tions which this country has ever sensed.
So Vermont will decline responsible
for any tardy progress of our First
regiment until the war department does
its part in providing equipment neces-
sary to do the work.
We cannot make fighting men without
fighting tools.-Rutland Herald.

The Vermont Regiment.

There should be no Misunderstanding
of the low rating given the First Yer
mont regiment on the score Of prepared
ness. There can be no criticism of its
staff, regimental or company officers or
of their men.
The regiment is not up to efficiency
standards because the war department
has not provided it with the necessary
equipment.
Men can't get up to fighting stand
ards when they have nothing to fight
with, and, when it comes to rifles, only
the government of the United States can
get them delivered in quantity from the
manufacturers under war conditions
Physically and so far as company and
regimental spirit goes, the First Vermont
is ready for service now. In the matter
of equipment, it has only what rifles
were in Vermont when war was de-
clared and no one can get more rifles
but the federal government
The Herald finds no special fault with
the present administration. The fault
dates back for ten years or more, when
Republicans and Democrats alike slum
bered along in fat complacency with
barely enough rifles to equip our handful
of regular, TO say nothing of side-arms,
ammunition belts and other necessary
equipment.
Meanwhile Germany had accumulated
five rifles for every man of military
age in the country.
Our government must have known

Russian Graft.

Many of the Russian nobility are now
bundling up what they can gather of
portable property and leaving for other
countries. Their grating is at an end,
at least temporarily. Probably the prize
story of graft in Russia, told by Bos-
ton merchant, is this: An American
shipper, Just before the war, had been
supplying cargoes of coal to the Rus
sian government, each consignment in
volving handsome slice of commission
TO the noble duke who had authority in
the matter. After the wal started his
margin calls" grew more extortionste,
until they cut off all the shippers prof
it's. The latter protested: Il really can
not furnish these csrgoes on such terms. "
All the duke said was: MY dear sir
why furnish themf"
That seemed a simple question in cold
type; but place a strong grand ducal
accent on the word furnish as you say
it, and perhaps an unexpected light will
dawn. 1t dswned on the shipper, and
the next two or three bills for 50 many
thousands Of tons Of coal each were ac-
companied only by imaginary cargoes, al
though they were paid as before with
the enlarged slice to the dukel But
after a few whirls the shipper decided
that while the game might be safe tas It
certainly was congenisll for grand duke,
il wss~too strong for q plain American
citizen. and he went away from Russia,
unobtrusively, and intends to stay away
He says the grand duke got al Of the
proceeds Of the last bill. and when a
deal becomes 100 per cent graft what
more can be accomplished IN that line

might come here, he suggested that If
persons came from neighboring cities to
