THE PAC1FISTS.

The pacifst propaganda would find far
greater tolerance in the United States
were it supported merely by those Amer
leans who believe deep down in their
hearts that it would not be right for
the United States to go to war with
Germany. Pacifists from deep conviction
might gain more courteous hearing.
But. unfortunately, there are mixed up
with those crying Peace. Peace.
Peace!" persons who are doing it from a
matter of far different design. 1t is UNI
questionably true that large part OF
the clamor against war with Germany is
raised by those who are secretly in sym
pathy with Germany and who are insid-
iously trying to spread their doctrine I'M
der the guise of pure Americanlsm. Had
it been Great Britain, instead of Ger
many, that had assaied the honor and
integrity of the United States. these al
legged pacifists with German sympathies
would be among the first TO demand war
and the sacrifice of thousands of lives
and the expenditures Of billions of dol
lars But as Germany has been the Of
tending country and is about to receive
the brunt of American retaliation, they
want peace The real American pacifists
are in poor company for the good of their
cause. The presence of the others lays
their own motives open to suspicion al
though one can readily agree that an
American of true character may have a
decided distaste for war against any ma
ton

WATERBURY,

Two lively local organizations of the
N. Il. NJ. z, A. are the result OF organ
ization work of that organization. A. D.
Hall of Buckileld Me-, who has been III
town for few days, left for Boston last
night. Last Friday evening the Water
bury organization, formed some weeks
ago with Mark II. Moody as president
and Henry F. Hill secretary and treas
urer, had an enthusiastic meeting. They
have 80 members now representing I0o
cows. Saturday evening there was to be
meeting at Duxbury but because OF the
weather and roads only few assembled.
But Mr. Hall met number of the farm
ers there Monday forenoon and local
organization was formed, with Edwin t.
Palmer president and b. J, Berry secre-
tary and treasurer. Eight members
started this branch representing 100
cows. Mr.. Hall was much pleased with
the interest shown by the dairymen
about here. He hopes to return before
long to help along the work.
The Village Improvement society had
an enthusiastic meeting Saturday alter
noon and voted to send one person to
Burlington for the Red Cross training,
more in the line of the work OF supplies
Much interest is felt in this, as in other
towns, in the work.
The funeral of Blanche Griffith Thorn
as was held from the South Duxbury
church Sunday afternoon, with burial IN
the cemetery near the church. She was

were brought. Perley Griffith of Spring

Ordinarily reserved even to the point
of aloofness, Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets is nevertheless a man of intense
patriotism and he thinks strongly when
the welfare of the nation is brought into
question At the same time he has a
well developed pride in his sense OF pa
triotism. Therefore, one can account for
the distinguished senator's momentary
lapse from the realm of propriety when
he permitted himself to become embroiled
in the national capitol Monday with an
advocate of the "peace at any price
propaganda While one admits that
Lodge soiled the dignity of his high office
by becoming mixed up in personal en-.
counter with a person who opposed him,
one cannot find it in his mind to blame
the senator for thus giving vent to his
feelings when sorely tried. In fact, every
red blooded man secretly takes delight IN
the display of spirit given by the aging
and generally digniied statesman.

THE BRATTLEB0RO RETREAT
REPORT.

The legislative committee which inves-
tigated the Brattleboro retreat as the re-
suit of sensational charges brought by
former inmate of the institution found
certain things not so black as they were
painted and other things so grievously
ont of normal that the revelation should
result in reforms forthwith, Thus 1t can
be said that although the serious accusa-
tions, which were the foundation OF the
investigation, were not substantiated by
the evidence brought out in the hearing,
the inquiry has nevertheless been pro
duetive of great deal of good in bring
ing to public attention some Of the most
glaring defects of administration or OF
conditions. Happily, most OF the accuse
tions regarding inhuman treatment Of
patients of the institution were not
strongly supported; in fact, were SO in
completely vonched for that the investi'
gators could not in justice continue the
charges so sensationally made. This is
not to say that patients have not been
mistreated in the Brattleboro retreat, Tor
evidence, apparently well based, was de-
duced to carry conviction that attendants
have not always maintained the proper
attitude toward the persons put under
their charge, although further evidence
was brought out to show that when cases
of mistreatment were brought to the at
tention OF the governing authorities the
attendants guilty of the mistreatment
we're discharged from the service. In
this connection we should say that one
of the most serious defects in the insti-
tuition was the lack of close supervision
over the attaches of the retreat, the lax
ity permitting too great freedom OF in
diyidual habits on the part OF those
placed directly in charge Of the inmates
There is no doubt that much OF the al
legged manhandling of patients and the
proven mistreatment of others was due
to this failure properly to direct the IN
stitution. That, in turn may be, and
undoubtedly is, due in large part to the
fact that the retreat is saddled with
state contract by which it is losing mon
ey constantly on the 800 state patients
placed at Brattleboro. The conclusion Of
the investigating committee was that the
state was itself indirectly responsible Tor
the lack of attention given to many pa
tients because OF the fact that the state
is paying an inadequate sum for the care
of its own charges. This is something
which ought to be remedied at once. The
state OF Vermont should give its charges
in the Brattleboro retreat just as good
treatment as it gives those in the state
asylum in Waterbury,; and, in order to
do this, we are inclined to think that 1t
would be better to enlarge the institu-
ton at Waterbury and place all the
states insane under one administration
and with a single overhead expense,
This is one of the problems that ought
TO be worked out during the next two
wears

when the previous ambassador was de-
clared TO be persona non grata" to the
Washington government. In even more
pronounced way is the United States
nominaly friendly to Turkey and Bull
gara, the other allies OF Germany
Neither of those countries has committed
any direct acts against the United States
which could be construed as acts OF war,
Therefore. President Wilson was careful
to have it distinctly known in asking for
a declaration that state of war exists
against Germany, that he was not in
tending to involve Austria, Turkey or
Bulgaria.

A considerable portion of the United
States troops will have to be modified
again on the Mexican frontier. 1t is
from Mexico that we shall expect the
greatest part of our trouble at the outset
of the war. An admxture of German
reservsts in the Mexican forces, either
of Carranza or Villa, will be likely to
turn an expedition against American ter
ritory, especially as that plan seemed to
be practicable to Herr zimmerman OF
Germany. 1t is certain that there will
be marauding of considerable extent
there at any rate; and the states border
ing the only nation that will be hostile
to the United States must be protected.
From 10000 to $4,000 men will be re.
quired for that service alone.
