approaching hysteria, which has to GER
tain extent communicated itself to some
of the guardians themselves. As a re-
suit, they are seeing an alien enemy in
every person who happens along in their
vicinity, and in the night they are pop
ping away at everything on the slightest
provocation. Bullets are flying thick and
fast in some localities, and the wonder is
that some persons, innocent of any wrong
intention, have not been the recipient OF
some of the bullets. 1t is possible that
this feeling of uneasiness will wear off
and that the guardians OF property will
in due season become SO acclimated to
their new surroundings that they will
be somewhat more careful, We hope
that change will come before any un-
toward events take place, in which I'M
parties will be the victims.

He Favors Saving Daylight.

Editor, Barre Daily Times; In re
gard TO the daylight saving scheme, il
Barre alone should adopt the scheme, il
would cause so much confusion that We
would find ourselves in a very bad mess
for the trains are sometimes an hour late
and by pushing our clocks one hour
ahead, we would find, if we were going
to Montpelier, Boston or another place
by our time, We might be two hours late,
instead OF one.
| believe the plan suggested by VIII
liam Barclay would be a good one to
try. For, without altering the clocks,
we would have the benefits of the day
light saving scheme by having an hour
more of daylight for rest and recreation,
without causing confusion or necessitat-
ing any change in train schedules, and
we would be all on time, just as we are
at present.

The month of April was not at all con.
ducive to the fostering of the greater
crop campaign in Vermont because the
weather has been cold and dreary, while
in some sections of the state snow still
fingers in the places not reached by the
infrequent visitations of the sun. How
ever, the backwardness of the season has
enabled the authorities in charge of the
food campaign to get their machinery Of
administration in operation and they are
reaching many more people than it would
have been possible to reach had the
weather broken better this spring with
the consequent advanced plans for crop
raising. II is safe TO say that no ambi-
tious farmer or crop raiser has got in his
seed on this 30th day of April in one of
the coolest Aprils on record. Thus the
baekwardness of the season is working
to the advantage of a large crop after
all, because of the fact that the cam
paigners for big crops are being enabled
to get larger number OF people en-
Unused for the work before nature is
quite ready for them, besides giving op-
portunity for expert instruction on what
crops are best suited TO Vermont.

THE COMPLETE VICTORY OF CON
SCRIPTION.

| The almost complete collapse of the
opposition to the selective draft war bill
in both branches of Congress late Sat
urday night indicates on what a flimsy
foundation the opposition was based.
| The votes of the two branches were fully
as decisive as were the authorizations for
declaration of state Of war, there be-
ing but "a votes in the House and eight
in the Senate against the administration
measure All that remains to be done
before the act becomes a law of the land
is the settling of minor differences be-
tween the House and the Senate and
then the signature of the president. 1t
goes without saying that these minor
differences will be smoothed out in short
order, and it is certain that President
Wilson will sign the bill.
Thus will the United States become
committed to a policy which has been
found to be the only reasonable method
in the face of national crisis The
countries of Europe which were menaced
by the Prussian peril resorted to the
draft which is, in effect, the seleetiye
CONSUMPTION that is comprehended in the
principle just adopted by the United
States. The selective draft, or eonscrip
ton, is the recognition of the obligation
of all to serve their country in some
capacity or other, some to fight in battle,
others to manufacture and produce those
things which are needed to sustain the
others in battle. The draft, harsh as it |
may sound to those who recall the days
of the Civil war, is really but synony- |
nous with democracy itself. Democracy |
is based on cooperation, the service OF
all to the common good and welfare. In |
order to get that cooperation we must
resort to compulsion. The selective draft
will do it. In the end. too, it will deal
the death blow to Prussian autocracy
and perhaps bring the permanent peace
of the world. All patriotic citizens win
rejoice in the promptness with which
Congress adopted the measure.

The proposal to dispense with fire.
crackers and fireworks on the coming
Fourth of July is to be commended. The
money spent in these useless demonstrs-
lions should be conserved to some better
purpose; and the time spent in the man
ufacture of the fireworks and firecrackers
should be devoted to the production of
materials which could be used in our time
OF war. The money spent uselessly each
Fourth of july throughout the United
States is a considerable sum, the amount
of which, however, we have no reason to
know; and it is certain that the days
spent in preparing these combinations of
noise and fire would go long way to-
ward preparing the country for meeting
the Germans. The city of Boston is one
of the first in this part of the country to
take up an agitation in favor of dispens-
ing with these means of Fourth of July
celebration. Every city, town and viii
lage in the country ought to take up the
agitation. By SO doing we can make a
tremendous national saving.

The victory OF selective draft was the
more notable in the House because il
followed majority report OF the mill
tary committee in favor of volunteer
army. When the credit is being given
for the result, measure will undoubted-
ly be given to our own congressman, Rep
resentative Greene of the first Vermont
district, who was a minority member of
the military committee and who worked
indefatigably in favor of the conscrip.
tion system because he was convinced of
the utter futility of trying to have an
army spring up over night, as it were,
by voluntary action.

The Seizure of the German Ships.

To seize the German ships laid UP in
American ports was an elementary pre-
caution which does not commit the gov
eminent as to the ultimate disposition
| OF this fine feet of steamers. What to do
with them after looking out for their
safe keeping is a serious question which
should be and no doubt will be dealt with
deliberately and after full consideration
of all the legal and other problems in
volved.
To demand their confscaton is natur-
al enough in view of the ruthless way in
which German subma rines are destroy
ing American and neutral shipping. If
they were the property of the German
government this demand would be even
stronger They are, however, for the
most part private property, and the
United States has drawn a clear distinc-
ton between the German people and a
government whose piratical practices we
have no desire to initiate
Strong as the provocation is, we may
assume that if the government takes
the ships it will be by requisitioning
them in due form, with compensation TO
the owners. Even this will hardly be
undertaken till the legality of this course
has been thoroughly looked into. At
present authorities on international law
appear to incline to the opinion that
nothing in the Prussian treaty or in the
general body of international law for
bids such Communicating of ships with
the compensation for which the Hague
convention requires. This provision the
United States did not ratify, so that it
is not binding, but it may be taken as
representing standard of international
conduct which this country may very
well adhere to.
The anxiety of Germany about its
ships in foreign ports was strikingly
shown in the effort TO extort from Mr.
Gerard a revision of the treaty, as well
as in the solieitude shown when Italy,
Portugal and China broke relations
This concern for German ships is in
striking contrast to the relentless war
upon neutral shipping, and has provoked
the suspicion that an important part of
the German plan is to clear the seas
of non-German ships and recoup losses
by a monopoly of the carrying trade
after the war Whether this has been
deliberately planned OF not. il would be
the outcome Of sufficiently protrscted
and successful U-boat warfare with Ger
man ships safely enjoying the hospitality
which the German government is abus-
ing. That outcome the allies must do |
their best TO prevent, and if there are
TO be any indemnities in this war neu-
trails whose shipping has been unlawful |
ly destroyed have the first claim after |
Belgium. The United States viii not |
begin the war by robbing German ship
owners. but to use their ships to relieve
world needs which German submarines /
are doing their best to increase would
be only equitable. We hope that it can ]
lawfully Be done.-Springfeld Republi-
ran.

SHERIFF WORKER A FARMER

Sheriff Lewis Worker has had

at the things surrounding. He found
that in spite of the much hcralded
drouth that in that section of the
county crops We're looking up al
most Illinois-like and he decided then
and there to put in big crop next
year. He states that some OF the
corn and beans in that part of the
county are really in excellent condi-
tion and that some of the farmers
will get bumper yields
Asked how it Mapped with him that
the crops were so fine A. D. Buyas,
