DUpING THE GERMAN SOLDIERS.


There was just enough truth in the
statement of Kaiser Wilhelm to his
troops in Rumania to make his whole
story seem plausible to them. The war
lord of useful lot of subjects told that
section of them gathered in Rumania
that if they were forced TO fight further
il would not be the fault of the German
government, ntimating that the govern
ment was ready for peace because IL had
licked the entente allies, The soldiers
who are doing the kaisers every bidding
may have thought il an odd situation
THAT is, if they do any independent
thinking on their own voltion), that the
enemy should have been so completely
licked as their war lord seemed to think
and vet were still able to force them to
fight but at the same time there was the
clared that he himself was ready to go
upon peace basis under present eondi-
tions and that he was being pestered by
some enemies who refused to admit they
were licked. Away off in Rumania, far
removed from mediums of communica-
tion, the soldiers, following their blind
acuuiescence to their rulers will, prob
ably took his word for il and believed
that it was a very unreasonable enemy
which did not know when it was licked
and compelled them 1.-THE Germansl to do
it all over again. Of course, the kaiser
was right in saying that he wanted peace
at this time; he wants it because he is
going to be hard pressed and he wants
it because Just at this moment he is |
holding vast empires which belong to
some other small or weak nations and |
the holding of which would prove advan-
tageous to him in the final settlement of
peace conditions For certainty, Kais
ar Wilhelm wants peace and is being
forced by the entente allies to fight; but
he did not tell anywhere near the whole
ruth when he addressed his blindly ODE
lient subjects who had followed his ban
lers into Rumania He told just enough
o make his story seem plausible to those

Burlington is getting good deal Of
notoriety because of its bad streets. So

way, Barre is putting in some cement
pavement, which looks as if it would

And if you had looked little further
you would have seen construction of a
cement-eovered granite pavement in the
south end of the city which would have
confirmed you in your belief that Barre
will possess thoroughfare far superior
to any in this state. This granite pave
ment now being built is to be similar to
the pavement constructed in the north
end few years ago, a pavement which
is receiving the approval of an users

yet to be tried out, as it is an experiment

British navy were sunk after a massed
attack by German submarines off the
Irish coast some weeks ago Repeated
unofficial versions of the disaster have
come to hand following the arrival of
