has always been strongly pro.ally and
almost from the outset the war has been
responsible for the vacant chair in many
a household Long before Barre gave
two companies to the state National
Guard and long before this city was cred
tied with the largest enrolment of naval
recruits in the state, men from here
were going overseas to fight the battles
of democracy. Assuredly the war has
come to be more vital thing since the
entry of the United States and there has
been quickening of patriotic zeal on all
sides, but not for a moment since the
storm burst in August, 1914, has Barre
looked upon the struggle with detached
interest nor has its outlook been that of
the uneoncsrned observer.

A fine distinction between interstate
and intrastate commerce may be brought
to light in the inquiry which the federal
authorities are to press in the matter of
an alleged censorship exercised by off
cials of the Phelps Dodge corporation
over the Western Union office at Bisbee,
,Ariz., at the time of the deportation of
industrial Workers of the World from
that place in July. Complaint has been
made to the attorney general of Arizona
by Melville f. Stone, general manager
of the Associated Press and the prelim-
mary inquiry is to determine whether
procedure shall be taken in the federal
court for alleged violation of interstate
commerce or in the state court for al
legged violation of intrastate commerce.

CURRENT COMMENT
Service, Not Sentiment, the End.

Dividing the Vermont regiment in the
arrangement for service in France is
a severe shock to sentiment and has
been severely criticised by some Vermont
people. Putting regiments in the United
States army is what is causing the mis-
chief. Little Vermont has not enough
men ready to make one of the larger
regiments, so she pays the penalty of
smallness. 1t seems that New England
men will be held together and that is
some consolation. 1t is all in the game.
Sentiment is not controlling considera-
tion in war.-Bellows Falls Times.

What Wooden Ships Can Do.

conspicuous targets for lurking sub

Bear In mind carefully that Is an
emergency fleet. special fleet con-
structed for a war crisis and nothing
else. When the civil war broke out
between the north and scouth, it was
quickly realized that the deep, heavy
steam sloops and frigates of the
United States were not adapted for
service in the relatively shallow
rivers, ports and bays of Nle con-
federacy. Thereupon the mechanical
genius of the north contrived the
ninety-day gunboats-light, small
craft. many of no more than 500 tons,
but capable of smart maneuvering
and armed with powerful artillery
4 hese little vessels followed Farragut
at New Orleans and Mobile bay, and
even lay in Porter's battle line off
Fort Fisher. When the war ended
the ninety-day gunboats were found
too small and light for foreign
cruises, and soon disappeared But
they had served the present need,
and Uncle Sam was able to write off
their whole cost as wise invest

be in the present case. If thou
