A tour through the country districts
of Vermont by the observant person is
sure TO impress one with the conviction
that there has been tremendous sale
of United States flags during the past
few months. Nearly every house dis
plays one or more flags, some Of thu en-
blems supported from lofty poles in the
yards of the farmhouses, Others sus-
pended from piazzas, still more draped
on the interior OF windows and smaller
flags tucked away in appropriate hooks
about the buildings. No matter how
humble the house may seem to be, the
United States flag is almost certain to
be seen. We have had occasion to pass
dilapidated looking domiciles and had
no expectation of seeing the flag dis
played, only to be very agreeably sur
prised to note that the starry banner
was placed aloft amid the seeming pow
erty of the home. And now and then
we have had occasion to pass residences
where, we felt sure, the American flag
would be displayed, only to be disagree
ably surprised to learn that no flag was
in sight. But the latter cases were few
and far between. In general the United
States flag is the predominant feature
of the farmhouses in Vermont. 1t is
good to see. The flag displayed brings
needed reminder of our country, and
the display is especially effective at the
present juncturc The few houses which
are without some form of tribute of this
sort should be placed on the other side
to make it unanimous.

LONDON BETTER PROTECTED.

The latest raid by German aircraft or
England was undoubtedly an abortivt
attempt to reach London, an attempt
which was frustrated by the vigilance
and activity of the British aviation
crews. This increased vigilance and
marked activity is due probably to the
prodding done by the general public fo;-
lowing the heavy raid on London few
weeks back in which scores of lives were
lost and considerable damage done to
property. AT that time the people were
aroused and the governments prepare
lions for resisting an air attack were
held up to criticism. If the defense of
London is the prime duty of the air de-
tenders, then it must be admitted that
they performed their duty well last
Sunday morning when, by the vigor of
their counter attack, they prevented the
German air feet from approaching near
to the capital city. Germany gained lit
tie by the attack except, perhaps, the
of another black page to her
history, page which will tell of the
slaughter of innocent women and chill
dren in blind rage at England.

The action of the government in re-
tanning the Plattsburg, n. Y, camp for
the second division of the reserve off
GERS training corps seems to have been
dictated by reason inasmuch as the gov
ernment has already laid out a consid
cradle amount of money in preparing
the place for the accommodation of the
thousands of men and inasmuch, too, as
the climatic conditions there from Au-
gust TO the close of the camp viii be
suitable for the holding of the school of
instruction. Moreover, Plattsburg is
fairly accessible for both New England
and New York, from which sections il
draws its enrolment. These things un-
doubtedly outweigh any of the minor
disadvantages which may be fastened to
Plsttsburg as a location of the training
camp.

CURRENT COMMENT
Let the Draft Be Fair.

Alienism appears to be the cause of
many of the inequalities in the census
estimates for the draft to which excep-
ton has been taken in both houses of
Congress. Those estimates were based
chiefly upon the registration returns of
June 5, last. All aliens of draft age were
required to register, but the law exempts
them from the draft. The result is that
those states having large alien popula-
tion are compelled to contribute larger
number of conscripts for the new army
in proportion to that part of the popula-
ton eligible for CONSUMPTION than the
states whose population is made up for
the most part of the native born or nat
uralized. Compare the New England per-
centages of alien population with those
of the southern states,

If two of the trustees of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, including Gov. Ora
ham, were ignored when it came time
for a decision by the trustees whether
or not to accept Prof. Anton H. Appel
mann's resignation from the faculty of
the university, then there is reason for
protest on the part of all who have the
interests of the institution at heart. As
members of the board of trustees Gov.
Graham and Redfeld Proctor should
have been given official notification of
the meeting of the board.

In the few days intervening before
the lists of drafted men are posted, the
Vermont National Guard ought to be re.
cruited to full war strength since an
opportunity is given the men drawn in
the first draft to present themselves for
enlistment in the National Guard in
those remaining days before the second
phase of the draft law is operative. The
fact that Vermont offers $40 month
additional to what the government pays
and the fact that the Vermont National
Guard will be the only exclusively Yer
mont unit, in all probability, are strong
incentives to drafted men to join the
Vermont regiment.

believed that this lates, move will have

Hoover's administration has ruled thai
no licenses shall be granted for the
export Of condensed, canned, powdered
or other forms of preserved milk unles.
there shall have been fled with the
bureau OF exports q certificate Of the
manufacturer stating that such milk has
been sold directly to the exporter and
