nation is fighting Moreover, they have
shown their fixed determination to prose-
cute the war to successful elimination.
They have entrusted their government
with what is probably the largest amount
of money ever loaned to n government
at one time. But large as the sum Is, 1t
is only fraction of what the American
people are ready to loan to the United
States in order to insure the peace and
safety of the world. They will shortly
be called upon to raise another large
sum, how large it has not been deter
mined as yet; but they will raise that
third loan with as much willingness as
they have raised the first and the second
loans. They are willing to back the
United States government to the limit
of its borrowing capacity and then to
give outright, if necessary, that kaiser
ism may be given its quietus. That is
the answer of the American people to
the arrogance of William Hohenzollern.

Every housewife in Vermont should be

Every housewife in Vermont should be
willing to sign pledge card of reason
able restrictions regarding the use and
the waste of foodstuffs in the time of
the great emergency now facing the
United States and our allies. 1t is espe-
cially necessary that all waste of food
stuffs be eliminated from this time forth.
We feel sure that the proverbial repute
of Vermont women for thriftiness in the
kitchen will be substantiated at this
time and that those who have not been
converts to that idea will join their sis
ters in careful conserving of all food
products. But the first duty is to pledge
support to the government in the matter
of food conservation. Sign the pledge
cards as they are passed around to the
households throughout the state. Sign
them with full intent to carry out the
recommendations therein contained.

CURRENT COMMENT
Thinking in Narrow Circles.

In spite of the many ways in which
the present crisis demonstrates the close
dependence of every nation and every
individual upon every other nation and
every other individual, many persons are
still thinking in narrow circles For ex-
ample, there are people who disregard
all the appeals of the food adminstra-
tion about saving wheat. They seem to
think it applies to other people only
There never has been a time when white
-four could not be bought here-and
there seems to be plenty in the stores
now-so why not eat all we want? That
is the way these people argue. No doubt
the same people will ignore the appeal
of the French nation for sugar France
has been having only an ounce day to
each person. while Americans have been
reveling in four ounces of sugar daily.
We are asked by Mr. Hoover to save an
ounce or two of the sugar we usually
eat, so that France may continue to have
its one ounce ration, and not be entirely
destitute of this necessity of life. But
the unreasoning ones cannot see their
with the matter. There is
sugar on the grocers' shelves, and some
body is going to buy it and eat il.
But if every one of us uses one ounce
less than usual, that viii save 100000. 900
ounces, or 5000 tons for use tomorrow
and if this saving continues we shall
have a splendid surplus of sugar to ship
to France, where our heroic friends and |
allies face the prospect of complete |
sugar famine unless we share with them. |
A narrow selfishness in the refusal to |
help our allies in the way suggested by |
Mr.. Hoover will come back home in the |
'orm Of food famine, military defeat or
some other fine retribution, in which the /
generous and greedy will suffer together.

The announcement sends thrill through

at last the United States has buckied
down to the task to which it set itself
seven months ago when it declared a
state of war existing between the Unit
ed States and Germany by reason of the
latter's overt acts. For seven months
the nation has been preparing itself for
the shock of conflict on the field of bat
| tie, in the meantime having placed its
warships in line for service in European
waters and having supplied the sinews
of war in the shape of huge loans of
money. 1t was said by experts that six
months would have to elapse before the
United States would be in position to
lend material aid on the battle front;
and that prediction has been well borne
out by fact. The process of getting land
forces ready for service has been labo-
rious task, and it has been greatly in.

GERMANY STREAMING TO GET MEN.

1t is the evident purpose of Germany
to reduce Italy to her knees so that the
military forces of Austria Hungary
which were kept occupied by Italy can
be diverted to the assistance of the kais-
er in the effort to check the growing
menace of the British, French and Amer
lean drive on the western war front If
Italy can be brought to the point of in
action such as that forced upon Russia
through military reverses and internal
dscord, it will release large section of
the Austro Hungarian forces now held
to the task of opposing the Italians; and
even though the government of Austria
Hungary should be in hot water from
internal trouble Germany might then
utilize many, many divisions of soldiers
in resisting the steadily increasing pres

hard pressed for man-power to meet the

supply of the human units is getting
low, as we learn from the reports of the
calibre of the soldiers captured by the
British and the French which state that
the prisoners are youthful and of poor
physical qualifications. Where to re-
plenish that supply is Germany's prob
lem. Naturally the kaiser turns to his |
most effective ally, Austria Hungary !
and in order to be able to draw from
that supply he must first subdue the one
nation which is at the present time the
most dangerous foe of Austria That |
nation is Italy; and hence, although |

tween Germany and Italy, great force
of Germans has been sent to the aid of
Austria in pounding back General Cador-
ma and his Italian army. If Italy can
be reduced to disorganized state, both
from military and industrial stand
point, Austria will be enabled to send a
large force to the western war front.
In the interests of civilization and of
her own existence, therefore, il is encum-
bent upon Italy to stand fast, to fight
desperately in order that the combined
drive may be nullifed. A great deal of
the success of the entente allies depends
upon the way in which Italy meets the {
situation.
