BARRE'S Y. NJ. c. A. WAR WORK
DRIVE.

On the first day of the concerted effort
in behalf of the Y. NJ c. A. war work
fund Barre made a good start toward
the desired goal but we are still consider
ably short of the mark II was mistak-
emily stated in yesterdays paper that
Barre's quota was 81 500 The real goal
of Barre is much larger, and this com
munity viii not be doing all that it
should do unless the larger amount is
raised; and it will be raised if the people
of the community realize the splendid
nature of the work which the Y. NJ. C. A.
is doing for the soldiers and sailors of the
United States, both those abroad and
those at home. To bring this realization
strongly to attention let us make local
application of it, Barre has, it is esti-
mated, over 100 boys in the service of
the United States government at the
present time. Are we going to leave it
to other communities to take care of
these boys. during the long, long DAYS
that are ahead of them? Or is Barre
going to do its share SO that the other
communities in the United States will
be able TO take care of their own boys in
the services OF course, we do not mean
to say that the money which Barre sub
scribes viii 20 directly to the Barre boys
who are in service, but we mean to say
that in effect it will be so because the
task is grouped. that is, the support is
given Unfortunately. We are Just IS
surely taking care Of our Barre boys as
if we were giving the money directly to-
ward their benefit Shall we, then. be
remiss in our duty Shall we let our
boys suffer Tor want Of proper care
Equally bad, shall we shirk our respon-
sibility onto other communities which
already have their burden to carry
Barre never has had the reputation Of
Sinking it, real responsibility, and We
a. not believe & win acquire that repu-
.ation now 80 come forward with your
contributions al once.

The action of President Wilson in GO
ing before the American Federation of
Labor in convention at Buffalo and max
ing frank statement that the co-opera-
ton of all the people Of the United
States is necessary if the nation and its
allies are to win the war should be met
with equal frankness by the members of
labor organizations. There is no doubt
that the vast majority of the rank and
file of labor throughout the United
States is loyal to the government in
Washington and will do nothing which
will tie the hands of that government in
its purpose to make the world free for
democracy and, consequently, to rid the
world of the menace of INSCRIPTIONS au-
tocracy. The American Federation of
Labor may be expected to reatiirm its
confidence in the government before it
takes final adjournment at Buffalo.

AS soon as Kerensky gets hold of the
telegraph in Russia, we may expect to
hear more favorable news from that
storm center. II must be remembered
that early in the Bolsheviki rebellion the
announcement was made that the new
rebels had seized the telegraph system in
Petrograd, thus placing them in position
to give the world the information which
it served their purpose to give. OF
course, there were probably other but
more indirect channels of communication
from Russia but far less speedy. As yet
Kerensky has not been able to secure
this main channel of communication, the
inference being gained by reason of the
fact that very little frst-hand informa-
ton is going out to the world from his
camp.

Those MARTYRS.

If the White House pickets are ''mar-
tyrs," they are so because their stage
management is SO good as to create a
perfect illusion. When arrested, as of
course they were eager to be, they re-
fused to pay fines in order that they
should go to jail. When they came out
of Jail they and their press agents CAPT
tailed their sufferings in the hope of
arousing public sympathy for some wan
tonly prosecuted yet inoffensive women.
1t is all very narrowing until one sees
that it is all carefully planned and
thoroughly rehearsed and skillfully ex-
plotted performance. Springfield Repub

| 1t must be admitted that the man who
is engaged in the manufacture of Ger.
tain kind of motor car and who wanted
TO get the boys out of the trenches by
Christmas is past master of the art of
free publieity--for himself and for his
kind of motor vehicle The name of this
man is constantly before the public eve
in one way or another Recently the
announcement was made that his fac.
tories would be turned over to the gov
eminent to be used as the government
saw fit. That, of course, was laudable
and patriotic offering and the announce
ment of it was spread broadcast all over
the land and other parts of the world,
bringing a perfect shower of word bou-
quets and, we doubt not, an accelerated
demand for the motor vehicles of that
sort. But the announcement was not
explicit enough the public demanded to
know if the factories were to be turned
over Immediately to the government and
the people to be deprived of the chance
of buying one of the aforementioned We
hicles. OF course, that demanded another
announcement from the long headed and
patriotic manufacturer and the news
papers jumped into the breach and gave
him hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of free advertising by announcing
that the factories would continue to turn
out their usual number Of motor vehicles
until such time as the government ac-
tually needed the factories. And so it
goes on. This automobile manufacturer
has not got the press subsidized but he
has got it well stupefed.

blocks of the potential fuel, piled IT up to
dry, and while drying was going on, in
charge of mother nature, he procured or
caused to be made a stove in which to
burn it--for peat requires a much larger
fire box than is used in wood and coal
stoves When it came to a practical test,
peat as fuel was distinct success, ac-
cording to this experimenter. What he
did, others can do. All you need is a
peat bog and a shovel-with of course an
inquiring spirit
Now then is it possible and practicable
to use peat as a war fuel? VIII not some

The entente allies are getting grip
on the throat of submarine warfare. The
record of the last week so far as British
shipping is concerned shows that the sub
marines are being brought to subsection
rather than the British people As we
have said before, we repeat that the
Americans have been largely responsible
for this new situation. All the letters
coming from American soldiers being
transported to Europe testify to the i'm
munity of the ships from submarine at
tack and they even announce the absence
of all submarine scares on the way across
the ocean.

If the bankruptcy proceedings against
bury result in the elimination of a daily
paper from that field, the people of that
section will have cause to regret the out
come very much, because a daily news
paper acts as an influential factor toward
the quickening of the life of commu-
nifty, is, in fact, quite essential toward
the development and progress of the
place. A weekly newspaper, however
good cannot quite meet the demand in
town or city of appreciable size such
as st. Johnsbury is. Therefore, it is to
be hoped that the financial difficulties
into which the youthful Daily Caledonian
has run will not eventuate in the depriv-
ing of that community of local daily
newspaper Manager w. j. Bigelow of
the publishing company announces his
faith that the Daily Caledonian will be
published just as usual in the expected
reorganization of the affairs of the con
Germ following the bankruptcy proceed
ings Mr.. Bigelow certainly has worked
hard and faithfully to make success of
the daily newspaper venture and he de-
serves something better than to see all |
those efforts come to naught. Possibly |
some plan can be prepared and assented
to which will result in the continuance of |
daily newspaper there. A large num- /
Der of st. Johnsbury people, we feel sure,
would dislike to be deprived of daily
messenger of the news OF the town, the
state, the nation and the world
