Clean up the Highways.


Brattleboro has shown how easy il i
to get rid of the unsightlv ADVERTISING
signs on its highways. and urges Other
towns OF the state to do likewiso II
required some labor and this the Boy
scouts were eager to do. The result is a
cleaner and fairer landscape. bare of

Fighting the German People.

We are lighting the German people.
There is no other way by which we
can fight the detestablc German system.
The German system IS not an mani
mate object. 1t is not natural oh
stacle to be removed by some feat OF
engineering. Behind ii are human in
telligencc and the human soul, and the
human intelligence and human soul
behind it are the German soul and in
.relligenco. For all that the German
system has done the German people
are responsible, for the German people
las a whole indorse it and are permeated
by il. No intimate study Of the Ger
man people ana the German system at
home is necessary for an understand
ing Of this truth. 1t has been made
manifest by the temper and conduct of
Germans and misguided German
Americans IN this country and by the
undisputed facts Of the war.
II is inevitable that we must FIGHT
the German people. And we are fight
ing them for their sal,cs as we'll n,
for our own sake and for the sake OF
the whole world. The German system
must be overthrown and we shall have
TO fight the German nation-the Ger
man people--until the German people

MAYOR STRANGE BUSY
WITH FUEL ADMINISTRATION
Returns Indicate There Has Been No
Hoarding Of Coal AS PersistentIy
Reported

Mayor James f. Strange is a very
busy man these days. He is actively
interested in various questions per-
tanning TO the fuel administration here
in the city He is sacrificing a large
part of his time from his usual busi-
ness affairs and is at his Office in the
Council Chamber several hours every
day, answering all questions that may
be laid before him, and looking after
the returns of the census which the
city police officials have been conduct
ing in the way Of a house-to-house
canvass, to determine the amount of
coal each householders has on hand,
and the amount needed to carry them
through the balance of the winter
That there has been no boarding Of
coal, is indicated by the returns that
have been made so far They show
that the amounts which consumers
have in their bins vary froma half a
bushel to ten or twelve tons. In a
number of instances householders
have none on hand. Ten and twelve
tons is not regarded as an excessive
supply In most of such instances the
fuel was purchased last Spring and
Summer Mayor Strange is having
the returns tabulated according to an
alphabetical arrangement IN order to
facilitate the work
