Sugar Gr0Cers
Are Given Warning

Richmond. Va, Nov. 18.-Re-
ports reaching the food admin.
istration's headquarters here
yesterday indicated that in Ger.
tain sections of Virginia retail.
ers are taking advantage of tie
sugar shortage and are in some
instances asking as much as hf.
teen cents the pound, and in a
number of cases as much as
twelve cents Notwithstanding
that the shortage. by reason OF
the government having fixed the
price to be charged by re6ners
aud wholesalers, has not result
Ell in any appreciable increase to
retailers.
Sugar is costing the Richmond
retailers nine and one-tenth cents
the pound, and there is sufficient
supply for all ordinary demands.

married young men in the whole
town Another thing that impressed
the workers was the small number of
farmers or farm laborers in town be-
tween the ages of twenty lone and
thirty-one We do not know the num-
Der that registered but it was small
proportion of the whole. Those who
did register expressed the same loyalty
to the nation as young men in other
forms of labor or business but it is
evident that the majority of young
men in this town are not on the farms.
This is discouraging because the coun-
try needs more young men in the agri-
cultural pursuits.
Another impression was the seri-
BUSINESS and thoughtfulness of the
young men as they registered In al
most every case it was a serious and
dignified response to the nations call
Nearly every young man expressed his
willingness to fight if necessary for
his country and many expressed their
approval Of the plan of draft that
would use all classes equally. Con-
tact with the young men fulfilling
their duty convinced one that America
has tremendous body of people rea-
dy to make any sacrifice necessary for
the protection of their country. There
can be but one result and that is the
vindication of American manhood in
the eyes of the world and the final
supremacy of American principles in
the worlds civilization.

about $4,000 German soldiers that
have been massed on .fhe Eastern
front for service With the German
army O.. ne Western front. while
the British and French have been
able to drive the Germans back this
spring they are not in condition to
Withstand any such increase in the
German fighting forces. The only
hope of successfully resisting the con-
solidated armies is the dispatch of an
army of 100000 men by the United
States.
Returns thus far received indicate
that about 10000, 900 men registered
on Tuesday last, and about sixty per
cent of them claimed exemption from
military service. Many of those who
did not claim exemption would not be
accepted. So it looks as though this
country just as quickly as possible
front practically all Of it's available
fighting men. This is a serious task,
one that will cost heavily in life be-
cause our soldiers have not been
trained and hardened for such SER
vice. But the sacrifice must be made
or the German cause will be victorious
before the American army really gets
into fighting trim.

Exceptional "SlackerS''

There is one feature Of the regis
tration last Tuesday that must make
many sit up and take notice Pre-
eminently it was glorious day
in our history because the law
was as a whole loyalty obeyed.
There were some "slackers,' but
they occupy a most ignoble place
and are comparatively few in
numbers. The law is all embracive,
all must register whether citizens Or
aliens, negroes or Indians. But some
of the latter decidedly objected, so
that government registrars visiting
certain reservations had a hostile re-
ception. Is this however surprising
We think not. Because our history
is not altogether pleasing reading
concerning our treatment of the In
dian. 1t may be untrue that the Pur-
itans, when they first came to Amer
lea, fell upon their knees and then
upon the aborigines," and that the
principle prevailed that the best In
dian was a dead Indian. But the fact
| remains that they have been driven
| farther and farther into the interior,
that they have been dispossessed of
their lands, that rascally governmen t
agents have robbed them, and our
national policy has not always been
humane and just The Indian has a
remarkably good memory. They can
| not altogether forget these facts and
their former glory and power. And
although it is true that barbarism
| must ever give way to civilization, yet
the Indian may think otherwise.
When therefore he is called upon to
register it is not altogether surpris-
ing that some emphatically. refused.
Concerning white "slackers'' we have
only contempt when liberty and dem
ocracy, and our cherished national in
stitutions are at stake. But we have
no such feelings when we read about
Indian "slackers.''

Wilson's Note To New Russia

President Wilson's note to the new
government of Russia, handed to that
nation some time ago, and made pub
lie yesterday for the first time, makes
plain the war aims of the United
States, and clearly states the stand
taken by the Federal Government on
mo annexatiOns; no indemnities.
In unmistakable terms the Presi-
dent makes plain his determination
to defeat Germany's proposal to re-
store the status quo'' before the war
This status quo ante out Of which the
war issued is the power of the Ger
man Government, within the confines
of its own borders, the power, domin-
ance and widespread intrigue
throughout Europe, and even the
whole world
The President sets forth clearly
that the United States is fighting for
the liberty, the freedom, the self-gov-
eminent and the right of all nations
" OCVclOp uuulcldlcQ. lie asserts
that any and every feature of the set
Element of the great war must be
conceived with that purpose solely in
view
The note makes a plea to the en-
tente allies, now our allies, to stand
together in the common cause; to
fight to the last lest autocracy divide
and overwhelm the republican form
of government
1t is word from the President of
the United States which makes the
reasons for which the United States
entered the war against the Imperial
German Government, and it's embody-
ing characteristics of Prussian mill
tarism, clear to all nations, and places
before the world exactly what the
United States is fighting for.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1917-06-13
"Your Money or Your Life"

The above words are as unpleasant
that would strike terror in the heart
of any person to whom they might be
addressed by robber armed with a
gun. But they are practically the
words that Germany has uttered to
the American citizen. The subsection
of Russia, France and England and
then the forcing of tremendous in
demnity from America is the well
known German program. That an in
demnity from this country could be
secured without bloodshed and the
sacrifice of many lives in this country
is not possible. So Germany in effect
is demanding our money or our life or
both if necessary.
To defeat the German purpose this
country has declared war on Ger
many and is calling upon the citizens
to raise a $4,000, 100000 loan to the
government. We were told in Sun
days papers that only $1,000, 600, 900
had been subscribed and that to COM
plete the loan within the time set
would require the subscription of
S100,000,000 a day. That is a ire
mendous sum, but this country can
raise it if the people are willing to do
it. A subscription to the loan is sim
ply advancing the money to the gov
eminent which will pay a liberal in
terest on it and repay the money to
the lender in full. This sum of money
means $40 per capita in this country.
To pay an indemnity to Germany
would mean the payment of so much
money to Germany and no returns for
the money paid out. SO it is up to
the citizens of this country to decide
whether or not they want to loan to
their government or pay bonus to the
Germans. 1t is simply q case of your
money or your life," and we believe
the Americans will prefer to yield
their money.
