selections Of only those who were physi'
cally sound but were compelled TO take
almost every man who was able to bear
a rifle. The consequence OF this indis-
eliminate calling 90 arms was that the
weaker men Of the armies were some
what easy prey for the rayages of tuber'
culosis and readily succumbed amid the
hardships and unhealthful weather con.
ditions. The United States, on the other
hand, is taking only those who are ply
scally sound for the first increment Of
the army and navy forces and there
should be no marked development of the
disease as they go TO trench life, where
they will be exposed to all kinds OF
weather and at the same time be forced
TO undergo many hardships. Neverthe-
less, il will be of great benefit to the ma
ton as a whole to consider all the prob
lens which arise from participation in
the war. and medical men and Others
will be likely to gain much valuable in
formation by attending the conferences
like the one to be held in Rutland next

GIVE THE SECOND 40 PER CENT A
GOOD SEND.0FF

| October 3 ought TO be another big day
cause it is the day when the second con
tingent of Nermont's quota to the new
national army will leave for the canton
ment at Aver, Mass Already 40 per cent
of the quota has gone to the camp and
is now in the midst of rigorous course
of training to be soldiers. The men OF
the first contingent were given marked
demonstrations in most places Of en-
trainment to show them that all Yer
mont stands back of them; and we have
received assurances that the men appre-
ciated the significance of the farewell a.
rangements and were very grateful. The
members of the second contingent, those
who are called to leave on October 3, were
present perhaps at the leave taking OF
the first group of men, or at any rate
they are cognizant of the efforts then
made to give their comrades cheerful
send off. Nevertheless they were not a
part of that demonstration, being neither
in the group of men so honored nor in
the larger body of those giving the send
off; they really occupied a position pc
culiar to themselves as soldiers subject
to similar call Therefore it is encum
bent on the people of Vermont to give
this second contingent of selected men a
farewell, which comes straight from the
heart just as it did in the first instance.
Let us show the APO men who leave the
state next Wednesday that we have as
kindly feeling for them as we had for
the first and that we are deeply interest
ed in their welfare. Plans should be laid !
at once for stirring, patriotic farewell
in every place where the embryo soldiers
entrain for the trip to Camp Devens. All
up to give the second contingent of men
a fine leavetaking!

The state commissioner of agriculture,
E. S. Brigham, thinks that the time is
coming when young men will desire to
engage in agriculture in Vermont and
that the farming interests of the state
will be greatly enhanced thereby. He
might have said that there is an almost
imperceptibe turning in that direction
ALREADY, arrested somewhat perhaps by
the call to industrial life by reason OF the
war, yet nevertheless continuing fairly
strong. When the war ends and the
young men going to the front and to the
munitions plants find their temporary
occupations gone they will be likely to
turn to agriculture in greater numbers
than before. Vermont should feel the
impetus of this movement along with
the other states of agricultural POSSIBLE
titles. To keep alive the trend toward
the farms is one splendid purpose which
the state department of agriculture can
have.

Men who see clearly the kind OF peace
which we must have in order to be real
and lasting peace, can have no sympathy,
therefore with a patchedup peace, one
made at a council table, the result of
diplomatic chaffering and bargaining.
Men who look forward to league of the
world to enforce peace in the future can
have no patience with a compromise that
leaves the promoting cause Of the present
awful war unaffected and mmoved. This
war is now being fought by the allies as
league to enforce peace. Unless they
compel it by victory, they do not enforce
it.
when the war is won, said Mr. Taft
in conclusion, "the United States will
wish to be heard and will have a right

The United States will insist on a Just
peace, not one of material conquest. 1t

THE TUBERCULOSIS CONFERENCE

Vermont is especially favored in hav-
