Chamberlain believes that measures to

Those fnanciers who are figuring that
the United States can still be merely a
loaning nation to the entente allies if it
enters the war ON the side of the allies
arc blinded with figures. If the United
States enters the war against Germany
it will be called upon to take its share in
the burden incident to the war, and one
phase of that burden will be the spend
ing of money, the absolute spending of
money, and not the mere loaning Of mon
ey to our allies in the expectation Of
drawing interest and receiving the prin-
cipal back at some stipulated time after
the war. If it comes to war between the
United States and Germany the United
States will have to 60 much further than
lending credit to the entente nations; it
will have to do its share in financing the
operations and say goodbye to the mon
ey Just as the entente nations are doing.
There will then be some outgo and not
all income.

To let Gov. Holcomb of that state tell
the story, Connecticut IS very hot bed
OF plotting and intrigue against the
United States. In addressing an audi
ence of church people the other night
Gov. Holcomb said, you would be scared
to death if you knew half of what has
come to my ears" At the same time
Gov Holcomb must bear in mind that
half the stories told him may have ALSO
utely no basis in fact. Nevertheless. it
is agreed that Connecticut is in a pecu-
liar position because of the fact that SO
many of the munitions factories are To-
Gated within its borders. There must
be protection for them.

could thumb her nose at the United
States or acquiesce in the demands, her
course depending on the result of the
submarine campaign. The proposal for
mediation, coming ostensibly through a
neutral country of Europe, is undoubted-
ly another display of that peculiar brand
of German diplomacy which stoops to
anything which gives promise of attain
ing the ends desired. Zimmermann's
frank admission of attempted collision
with Mexico and Japan to cripple or
handicap the United States in the event
of declaration OF war against Germany
was sample of that diplomacy. Within
short time after that admission of in
diation between the United States and
Germany to patch up their difference and
to avert war Granting that the pro.
posal is really Of German conception, the
effort is such an etfrontery that it de
serves nothing but complete rejection
The United States government surely
will not permit itself to be drawn into
such trap as that proposed. The time
for mediation between the United States
and Germany was months, even years
ago, although the United States govern
ment did not realize it because of its
child like simplicity. There should be
no change in the outlined course until
Germany promises to discontinue its lille
gal attacks on American shipping

VILLA STOWN
Edwin ]. clogston Expects Postmaster's
Commission Soon

Edwin J. Clogston, whose petition for
appointment as postmaster at this office
was forwarded to Washington some time
ago. has received notice Of his appoint
ment from the first assistant postmaster
general, and his bond has been sent to
the department for approval. 1t is to be
expected that his commission will be re-
turned to him in time for the change to
take effect on the last day OF this month.
Mr. Cogston moved TO this town from
Montpelier about 80 years ago and with
his brother, b. w. Clogston, now of Brad
ford, did a large farming business on the
Paine farm in the western part of the
town, under the name of Clogston Bros.
until the fall of 1913, when the farm was
sold, and Mr.. Clogston moved to the
village. He has served the town very
acceptsbly as selectman for several years
and has also been a candidate for repre-
sentative. He has the reputation of be-
ing careful, straight -forward business
man, and it may be expected that he
will leave nothing undone that he should
do for the convenience of the patrons of
the office.

And when we mad looked at them

again and again. These little clothes
had been hers. and I loved her very

must? Matters could not go on like
this long. 1 was coming to parting
