GERMANY PLOTS REACTED.

Germany is being crushed under an
avalanche of boomerangs which She
herself had launched. Frightfulness in
the massacre Of men, women and chill
drcu in Belgium, the bombing from
Zeppclins of non-combatant populations,
the use OF smothering gases, liquid fire
and poison. the melting of the annihila-
ton of whole Armenian populations by
the Turks, the ITboat butcheries and
the worldwide plots in enemy and neu
trail countries; all have recoiled upon
her head in the shape of added deter
mination on the part of her active enc
mics to compass her defeat on the field
of battle and also have earned for her
the detestation of greater part of
the neutral world. Among the great
est of her plots was that engineered in
Russia TO detach that country from the
allies and by arranging a separate peace
and forming a new combination of Ger
many, Austria, Russia and Japan, with
the help of her minor allies crush Great
Britain, France and the United States.
But her plotting here as in the United
States reacted. She brought about the
revolt She worked for, but the wrong
forces for her ends secured the upper
hand and in a few hours there was ae.
complished for Russia what it might
have taken generations to bring about
"a liberal regime, thoroughly anti Ger
man in its make up. The journalistic
\ llessians, who, for hire or because Of
marital or racial influences, misrepre
sent or misinterpretate the war new,
for the American public, tried to max,
J the revolt a triumph for Germany. KEPT

MAMMA! DON'T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD is
SICK, CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Move poisons from
liver and bowels at
once.

Mother. Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a cleans
ing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, sore throat, doesn't eat,
sleep or eat naturally, has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gentle liv-
er and bowel cleansing should always
be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals California Syrup of
Figs for children 5 ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
!" fruit laxative" and it never fails
to effect a good "inside'' cleansing.

ages and grown-ups are plainly on the

Medical Men for the Army.

An army of 100000 would REQUIRE
the services of all the medical officers
which we now have in the regular army
the National Guard and in the Medical
Reserve Corps, absorbing our entire sup
ply of trained medical officers. An
army of 100000 men would require
the services of $4,000 medical officers
who would have to be taken from civil
life not only without any training, but
without any men to train them, for the
first 100000 ordered to duty would en-
plov all the trained medical officers now
in the United States and still fall far
short of the required quota. These fig
ures do not take into consideration the
needs of the navy, which are almost as
great and quite as urgent as those of
the army. A consideration of these
statistics should make plain the neces-
sitv for Widespread and immediate en-
rolment in the medical reserve corps

More than % species Of American
birds and animals have become entire
ly extinct during the memory of those
now living, and in the main it is
through the wantonness Of the Amer
lean people that this valuable wild life
has been exterminated. To save the
remnants of our wild life it is most
important that the migratory bird laws,
the game and bird refugees and all
other protective measures should be
strictly lived up to. If the public can
be aroused to the danger which all our
fruit and crops will be subjected to
from the increasing ravages of insects
as the birds which feed upon them are
killed off, and a strong public sentiment
can be aroused against the slaughter,
il will do more to check the hunting
of birds for sport or profit than any
thing else. Laws that are not backed
up by public sentiment are of little
real value.

BOSTON AND MAINE AFFAIRS.

1t is By all means to be hoped that
the new plan for the reorganization of
the Boston & Maine railroad will full
fill the excellent promise which is
guardedly attributed TO it. That it Is
understood TO have come before the
directors on suggestions from leased
line interests which have opposed pre-
vious proposals is suggestive of moro
than ordinary progress toward agree
meat. Particulars of the present pro-
pos;d are lacking, but the tenor of
news dispatches concerning it is hope
full. II is only too plain that the sys-
tenn cannot be recognized until an
est is effected; and it is equally plain
that the road cannot proceed with its
rehabilitation, nor give the public serv-
ice Of which it is normally capable, I'M
til reorganization is an accomplished
fact. Agreement should be reached
while the legislatures of Maine New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachu-
sets are in session. 1t may, and prob.
ably will, be deemed advisable to call
puon any or all of those law-making
bodies for help before the matter is
finally adjusted. Meanwhile, it is no
moro than reasonable that all con.
ecrned should be prepared to make
legitimate concessions as may eonducc
TO early agreement and reorganization

ice for its patrons. More restrietedly
its function is to pay dividends to it,

Val~elnss Testimony.
Rutland Herald.

The failure of Mrs. Guilford and her
friends to locate the much-discussed
dungeon at the Brattleboro retreat
would seem to put an end to that claim
of place of punishment. With every
facility for investigation eheerfully
granted, and every assistance given
that was called for, after the most
thorough and minute search, nothing at
all approaching such a place of deten-
ton was uncovered. 1t is always the
part of wisdom TO weigh carefully the
testimony Of those who are or have
been mentally distracted. The dreams
and nightmares Of the healthy and
normal individual arc sometimes close
to reality, and it is not at all sur
prising that the Vagaries of the men
tall dethroned appear to be based
upon sound foundations. 1t is Ger
tain that there is no disposition TO COW
er up wrong doing anywhere. Let the
truth be known at all hazards. The
insane have rights that must be re-
spected. But the Authorizations of past
or present patients at the retreat should
not count against the evidence of sane
and competent witnesses, and the re
suits of the most careful and pains
taking investigation.

Concentrated Eriendshins.

The jealousy which blasts friend
ships as fire destroys the young green
of spring, is generally the result of too
much concentration in friends. If two
girls form one of those 'exacting friend
ships, when the presence of a third
persons seems an intrusion, it general
ly ends by causing one to be bored
and the other to be jealous. Have so
many friends yourself that it will
never occur to you to resent the fact
