Robert p. Stewart, United States dis
trict attorney, has just received word
from the court of appeals of the Eighth
circuit, at st. Louis, that the case of
the United States against Carl Putin
and others has been confirmed by the
court of appeals. This was the case
which attracted much attention
throughout the country by virtue Of
the fact that under it the government
will now be able to u for damages
where fraudulent entries have been
made, and where the government is
otherwise prevented from proceeding
in equity to cancel the patients. No
announcement has been made as to
when the government expects to insti-
tute the actions, which undoubtedly
will be in wholesale numbers, but
wherever fraud has been practiced in
the obtaining of lands from the gov
eminent these suits are expected to
follow for the damages sustained by
the government.

We are told that this is a capital
lists war: that Wall street is seeking
to fasten a military system upon us;
that the mOneyed interests and they
alone are responsible for the United
States raising troops and sending
money to help the allies. The COM
mOnest reader of current events
must know that this has no fOunda-
ton. The interests Of this country
have not been for war. The sO-caued
subsidized press has not been for
war. Wall street and munitiOn max
ers have only recently favored war.
1 know something Of the power of
money and the selishness OF men;
men who have money and men who
have no money. l know something,
too. of the lengths to which men will
20 to keep their money and get more,
but it is a mistake to think that
man with money has not the same
instincts and feelings as the man
without it. 1t is a mistake to believe
that a poor man looking at the inva-
sion of France and Belgium is moved
by one emotion, when a rich man
looking at the same situation is NOV
I'd by a different one.
The entry of the United States
into this war has come slOwly-very,
very slowly. It is almost three years
since the war began, but we are still
out, while nearly all the nations of
Europe are fighting. We have GER
tainlv shown no mad haste to go to
war. If the munitiOn makers and
Wall street have no human feelings,
and are interested in dollars, and dol
lars alone, they have been doing very
well as the matter stands. 1t is bet
ter for them to make money by send
ing munitions to Europe than to tax
themselves and seriously interfere
with Industry by coaxing the United
States into combat. These capital

cerned has drawn US into conflict.
Were the munitfOn makers in
America in any way responsible for
the German military system over
running Belgium and invading
France? Were they in any way re-
sponsible for the deliberate and cold
blooded sinking of the Lusitania?
We're they in any way responsible for
the sinking of the Sussex or the
many other American ships? Were
they responsible for Germany when
she violated her pledge to the United
States that no further ships should
be sunk without warning and a
chance for acknowledgements to save
their lives? We're they in any way
responsible for the general order is
sued by the German government to
take effect Feb. notifying the world
that all ships crossing a certain zone
should be sunk without warning and
without offering a chance for a non
beIligeTent's life?
Is there any one in his right senses
who can for a moment doubt that
these acts brought about the war,
and that neither the munitiOn MAX
ers nor Wall street had the slightest
part in any Of these acts.
l am led to believe that there are
many men representing large inter-
ests who would be anxious to fasten
a strong military system upon the
United States, even some who would
be willing to use this war as a means
Of achieving their end; but to say
that they had anything to do with
bringing about a condition which
calls for war is idle and senseless.
The pacifist seeks to dodge this is
sue by saying that the making and
selling of munitions Of itself is re-
sponsible for war. This position can
neither be justified in law, in history
or in common humanity Munitions
are as. much commodities for barter

The B. & M. section crew of Or
leans met with serious accident
Sunday evening while returning from
Barton with their motor work car.
For some months the section crew
have covered their beat with swift
motor car and it is said that bridge
inspecting crew also equipped with a
like car were making the trip from
Orleans to Barton when the cars col
lided in the deep rock cut between the
two railroad bridges just north of
Barton. The cars were said to be
travelling at rate of about 80 miles
per hour and they met on short
curve. J. J. Badger was the most
badly hurt, one leg being crushed
just above the ankle joint. DR.. Cleas-
by was called at once and the patient
taken to st. Johnsbury for treatment.
The bones were so badly crushed
that it was impossible to remove the
pieces and it became necessary to
bind up the limb in steel band with
the hope that the bones might grow
together again. VIII Badger was
badly shaken up and Clyde Fox was
painfully but not seriously bruised
about the face.

standard all the elements in Canada disaffected with the Borden regime.
 Already, however, he has had to face the refusal of twenty-two non French Canadian Liberals in the house from Ontario and the western pro vinees to follow him in his anticon- scription battle. What strength those conscriptionist Liberal party "bolters' can take with them to the polls has become one of the big question marks of the campaign. In it's answer may lie the final decision. On the part of the Conservatives, they have had to face minor but very significant de, sertions from French-Canadian Con servatives.
 Canada has 406,Oo0 enlisted men. Her overseas force is made up Of five divisions. Four of these are in France and one Is held in England as re serve division.

This will be the first opportunity the people of Can ada have had to pass upon the war policies of the Borden government since the Dominion plunged into the great conflict.
 The government has been split wide open on the issue of conscription. Brit ish Canada, generally speaking, sup ports conscription. French Canada is almost solidly opposed.
