CURRENT COMMENT
What Vermont Has Done.

In the unanimous passage of a bill
placing 100000 at the disposal of the
governor for the equipment and main.
tenance of troops Vermont is the third
New England state to act SO far as
we know it is the first state in the union
without seacoast to appropriate mon
ey for soldiers for service in the federal
army. Comparing its appropriation with
those by other New England states. Yer
mont makes very creditable showing
Massachusetts led with an appropri-
alton of Sl,000,OO0, or practically thirty
cents per capita; New Hampshire was
next with an appropriation OF $500, 1000.
or Sl.l6 per capita; Vermont with its
sl,0oo,o0O appropriation is raising S2.79
per capita
Remarkable progress was made last
week in securing equipment and clothing
for one regiment OF Vermont troops at
war strength. Confidence in the action
the state legislature would take made
il possible for the governor and adiu-
tant general to act quickly and secure
contracts ahead Of other states. This
action will enable Vermont TO be one Of
the first states to get fully equipped
troops into active service. This Is an
important accomplishment because every

lives in case Of actual fighting.-St.

to for instructors. The colleges should
put themselves in the receptive mood by
removing all the distractions, such as
athletics; and the faculties and trustees
should lend their most hearty moral sup
port to the undertaking. There are APP
proximately 100000 male students in the
colleges of the country, irrespective OF
the professional schools and other instr
buttons between the grade of the college
and the secondary school. Let them or
ganize for military training at once. We
should like to see the three Vermont col
leges follow the excellent example set by
a few of the institutions by abolishing
all forms of athletics for the remainder
of the college year so that the male stu
dents can prepare themselves against
their country's need. Two of them, Nor
witch and the University of Vermont, are
already well grounded in military train
ing, and the third, Middlebury, has made
a start Let the students bear in mind
that their country needs them, for home
iuty at least.

PLANT! PLANT! PLANT!

We have received letter, dated March
80, 1917, from Marsden G. Scott of In
dianapolis, president of the International
Typographical union, in which the writer
presents scheme of forming a vast
network of PLANT An Acre" clubs in
every part of the United States. The
letter. as will be noted, was written a
week ahead Of the time when certain
| declaration of war was evident, and 1t
was one of the most timely suggestions
yet made in all the complex theories
which have been advanced anent the
participation of the United States in
! the great conflict. Perhaps Mr.. Scott
does not claim the credit for being the
| originator of the scheme. That makes
no difference anyway. He at least has
been a forceful agent in putting before
the country 1--WE 90 on the presumption
that the letter was likewise addressed to
all the other daily papers in the country
plan which merits attention and, on
mature thought, strict adherence. The
reason why the plan should be followed
will be apparent to anyone who stops to
consider the situation 1t has been well
said that an army fights on its stomach,
fguratively speaking, No matter how
many men you have, no matter how well
equipped they may be mechanically and
otherwise, they will be OF no avail un-
less they are provided with ample food
of the most sustaining sort To feed an
army of 100000 men or even far less
than that number, as well as a navy OF
100000 men, is a great task, and it will
be especially trying because of the fact
from the farms to engage in the actual
conflict, thus throwing the labor of till
ing the land upon other people. AT the
same time the civilian population must
be cared for in the line of food. And
still again the United States, in order
to wage a successful war on the side OF
the entente allies, must furnish large
quantity of foodstuffs to those countries
which are hard put to it because of the
of the submarine warfare
against ships carrying provisions, chiefly,
perhaps, Great Britain and France. Thus
il viii be readily seen that the people
who remain at home viii have very II
prominent part in the success of the war.
They must lend their efforts to raise the
'ood for maintaining the army and navy,
Is well as the civilian population of the
United States, while sending also large II
luantity of foodstuff to our allies across II
he water Therefore, the need of the II
Plant An Acre" clubs. There can be II
10 danger of over-produetion in a crisis n
ike the presents all the food production II
viii be needed. And should the war not II
e continued very long the food can be
tilted in the feeding of the destitute
eople in the ravaged lands across the
ca. Mr.. Scott has done very good
york in calling attention TO the need
hus early. The men, women and chill L
rem of the United States should do their
art in carrying out the scheme. Let d,

THE COLLEGES SHOULD TRAIN.

The COlbEGES SHOULD TRAIN
Some of the larger colleges and uni.
versities of the country have set good
example by suspending all forms Of ath-
letics during the remainder of the college
year in order that the male students
may engage in military drill. 1t is a
wise and patriotic course to pursue.
There is more than a strong possibility
that the country will require the services
OF a large percentage of these college
students, just as it will need the serv.
ices of hundreds of thousands of other
Young men engaged in earning their
own living. The college students are in
position to take up military training at
once because they are gathered in a more
or less compact mass and are, therefore.
more easily subject TO mobilization for
the purpose Of getting instruction. 1t is
likely that the war department win be
able to detail minor officers for the pur
pose Of imparting this instruction. and
Il may be possible also for some OF our
allies to send incspscitated officers to the
United States for that highly important
work. Canada should Be in position to
lend this cooperation, if the United
states government finds the shortage of
officers Of its own army 50 serious as to

ment that we referred when we told of
the fine condition in which it emerged
this spring We are firmly convinced
that when durability is the chief quality
sought after, there is nothing anywhere
near so valuable as granite for road
pavement. In later years methods of
laying the granite blocks have developed
other strong features besides durability
to the benefits of granite pavement. For
much and heavy traffic granite is about
perfect.
