ANTICIPATING GREAT FRANCO
BRITISH DRIVE.

BY starting thus early, the Germans
are following out their old policy of an
ticipating the entente allies drives dur
ing the spring season. There is every
reason to believe that the French and
British in particular are planning another
great offensive at some point on the long
line between Switzerland and the North
sea, as they have been conserving the
munitions manufactured since the close
of the Somme drive many weeks ago and
they have been saving their human units
as much as possible, resorting merely to
trench raids and other minor operations.
Anticipating that drive, the Germans are
putting forth no slight energy at many
points on both eastern and western war
fronts, having probably had many men
released for that service by the virtual
elimination of the Rumanian campaign.
From this time until the opening of the
European spring, it may be expected that
the Teutons, and the Germans in particu-
lar, will bend themselves to the task of
handicapping as much as possible the
threatened great movement of the en-
tente allies. That they can harrass and
embarrass their enemies to a consider
able extent'is generally admitted, but
that they can prevent a great, powerful
offensive in the spring is not believed.
The Franco British concert of energy is
likely to hit a sledge hammer blow as
soon as the weather conditions become
favorable, and the blow may bend back
the German line to the point that with
travail over a considerable area in Bel
sium and northern France will be neces
,ary The preponderance of men and
coupled with the lessons
earned in two and onehalf years, makes
his result seem inevitable.

A "Unitedp Poland.

The confederation of adjectiyes that
the president employed in his reference
TO Poland is interesting. He said that
statesmen everywhere are agreed that
that there should be united independ-
cnt, and autonomous Poland"
Passing over the pleonastic slip OF
speaking first of independence and then
of autonomy, the word united" is wor-
thy of attention. What does the presi-
/, dent mean when he uses it? Poland was
| the victim of three immoral partitions.
Her living body was divided among three
| powers-Prussia, Austria and Russia. If
she is to become united" is she to have
her old territories, or is merely Russia
to be compelled to surrender her con-
quest, while Prussia and Austria retain
their conquests?
If it is the presidents thought that
Poland is genuinely to be united it is OBJ
vious that his preceding statement is not
accurate. The statesmen of the world
are not everywhere agreed" that Poland
should be reconstructed. German states
has attached much weight, and whose
bare words he seems disposed to accept,
seem unanimously opposed to a united
iHt1 nave II tlthT luht
Galicia and Posen and the Polish parts
of west Prussia are TO be retained by
their present possessors. Their pro-
gramme for Poland applies only to Rus
sian Poland
Nor does it appear that the German
statesmen are friendly TO real independ-
enee for Russian Poland The proclama-
ton of the two kaisers says that they
are to select king for Poland and that
any Polish army must obey the orders
of the stats of Berlin and Vienna. The
economic policy of Poland is to be die
tated to her. She is to have no outlet to !
the sea. What is purposed is not indie
pendence---is scarcely autonomy. In eff |
feet the new Poland will be under Ger
man dominion. II would probably be |
better for Russian Poland to have a |
straight-out annexation by her Teutonc |
fourth partition following I
the other three--for then power would
be coupled with responsibility. OF all t
things recently paraded the
assertion that it is purposed by the leu
tonic powers to give Poland her liberty

A National Mobilization.

The Congress of Constructive Patriot
ism. which Washington welcomed to-day
is in personnel and purpose a national
mobilization. It's delegates have been
recruited from many walks of life and
from every corner of the country. They
represent 10000 members of the Nation
al Security league in $50 branches and
committees, located in all parts of the
union. and more than 225 learned and
patriotic societies, colleges, and CONNER
cial, labor and agricultural associations.
Additional delegates have been appoint
ed by eleven governors and forty
nine mayors to represent officially their
respective states and cities. 1t is an as
sembly of volunteers who believe that
the time is at hand when Americans
must do more for America, volunteers
who feel the call to service as the citi-
zens of a great democracy. Their aim
is not to foist upon their countrymen
a military tyranny, much less to incul
cate a craving for world dominion. Their
conception of the American objective is
the maintenance of can efficient govern
ment for a contented people, according

ers of the republic that will prove the
success of democracy, and exercise upon

The series of singing games and folk
dances under the direction of Miss Arlene
Jeffords opened auspiciously Saturday
morning, Jan. 10, when, despite the zero
weather, 35 children assembled to enjoy
two hours of rythmic play. A week lat
er, two lessons were given, one in the
morning for the younger children and
one in the afternoon for the older chill
dren. The games and plays used are the
folk dances of England, France, Germany
and other countries-the games that
their youth and childhood played and
enjoyed for many generations. Through
a long period of time, these games were
smoothed, revised and adapted until they
became a representation OF melody and
rhythem that best expressed the child's
musical emotion and therefore, one that
he loved. America has no folk songs and
games, so the public schools of our larger
towns and cities have introduced these
old traditional games and dances that
our children may not only awaken love
for music but power to grasp and APP
oreciate it in its higher and more artistic
iorms. The Village Improvement society
makes these lessons absolutely free to
he children but they make full eompen
'ation by giving an exhibition later when
he parents and friends will be given an
opportunity to see the joy and freedom
he children find in playing these educa-
ional games.

BIGGEST GARAGE IN VERMONT

Burlington, Jan. Mcdowell, Hen

work on plans for new freproof garage
for Max l.. Powell, to be located immc-
diately south of the Van Ness house on
the Rand property. so called, where the
Vermont and Van Ness garage is located
and which was formerly occupied by the
Van Ness salesrooms.
The plan il TO sell the front building
and the building in the rear, SO that
space will be cleared back TO the hotel
barn. The plans call for garage 85xls0
feet, which will be the largest in the
state, and viii have capacity OF up.
wards OF 100 cars.
The building win be two stories high
with plate glass fronts and will be rented
for display OF automobiles. Upstairs
will be rented for vilcanizing room,
charging batteries and display rooms.
The entrance viii be on St. Paul street.
The rear part is to be one story only,
and devoted entirely to garage. The
present Van Ness garage will be rented
for repair shop and it is the intention
to make this the motor mark of Burling-
ton.
The building will be completed by May
]. IL will be steam heated and kept open
the year around and used in winter for
live storage Of cars The increasing
tourist business of the two hotels re.
quires much larger garage facilities.
Last summer the hotel garage was en-
larged to nearly double its original ca
pacity and then was not large enough.
