Enemies Within our Gates.

II is probably. true that the ma
joffty OF native Germans who have
bstnne citizens. and those born here
Of German parents, are loyal to our
country and, government. Germany
isanay mother. say they, but America
is my wife. But We all know that
there are q number of such ancestry
vic. are disloyal, spies, stirring up
strife. doing all they can for the
FatherlAfd Therefore, fires, So
cailsd accidents, pessimistiic. utter
afres, anything to destroy the morals
off, the nation. Sometimes this en-
nifty is more subtle Therefore we
have the cries of the pacifsts who
appeal. says our great President, ITO
my heart but my mind has a CON
tempt for them. These are our
wefi-known enemies But there are
others who are more tender Of their
wallets than of their sons.
1T is patent to everybody that to
win this war our. Allies must be fed
by our richly astounding Eountry.
Europe is fighting our battles now,
and England,s fleet, as our own Mill
tsry men have stated again and again
in ST. Johnsbury, are keeping. Ger
man ships from bombarding our
cities and coast Our Allies are. in
the field,F their men are withdrawn
from the farms to down the Military
Monster. Europe therefore Jour Al
lies remember, are dependent upon
America !, for good and supplies.
Therefore We have meatless days and
wheatless days TO help win the
war; What then can one say of
those boarding supplies. in order to
boost prices and thereby feather
their own pocket books? With
arnazemcnt do we read that our se-
cret service men have discovered, IN
the. public stores of New York, sup
plies, ssorely needed at home and
abroad, amounting in value to some
s75,800,00e. Sugar, grain. metals.
poultry, nearly a million dozen eggs!
This is only "a beginning. The gov
ernnent, is lsternly determined to
ferret out. these men who are fatten-
ing upon our distress, who are COM
pelhng the common man to pay ex-
=, 40 - fr,
our bread, for our groceries, for
everything necessary for life. They
are traitors! Enemies within our
gates!
BUT this .treachery is widespread.
Smaller, men are engaged in the
same unpatriotic business. There
fore they likewise are holding. back
their. little supplies. potatoes grain,
for higher prices Perfectly natural
one might say. The great law OF
Supply. and Demand cannot he. sci
aside in war any more than the law
of. gravitation. !, But there is ashghel
law than even this law of political
economy. And this law is love. self
sacrifice. patriotism, honor. duty. Our
country that protects such wretches
is at war! And such so-called busi-
ness shrewdness is a stab in the
back! Such men grew red in the
face when they read this discover,
in the stores of New York City Blu
they are tarred with tile same brush
Whether done in a large way or in {
small way-and multitude o.
small ways aggregate far mor'
than this discovery in New Torl
City-the crime against our countr,
is just the same. They are helping
the German cause of world conquest
They, are national assassins! The.

Some idea of the demand for cattle
in this country can be gained from a
circular letter issued by the Bureau of
Markets of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture giving the names
of county agents with which to COM
municate and the number of cattle
needed for the feed in their respective
counties. The state of Alabama
would like ,1S6 carloads, Arkansas 379
carloads. Georgia 1s5 carloads. Louis
lana 10 carloads and Mississippi rs
carloads. Evidently the people of the
South are ready to increase the meat
and dairy productions OF the country
and being ready TO care for such large
quantities of cattle there is no danger
of any alackening in the demand OF
cattle.

1t is painfully evident that YER
mont's. stock of deer is, not being
maintained against the army of hunts
ers that go intotthe woods each year.
The number reported shot this season
is far below the numbers for formei
seasons and it looks as though the
number of live deer will be still fur
Their reduced and the hunting even
poorer next year. AT the same time
there are large bills for damages by
deer from some sections of the state.
Perhaps the final solution of the deer
question will be the limiting of shoot
ing in certain sections of the state.
Outside of Windsor and Windham
counties there is little damage done
by deer. Perhaps it would not be
wise to stop the shooting in those Sec
tions but in the rest of the state lit
could :oe stopped for q few years with
but damage tost1e farmers allow
the stock of deer to be replenished.

to the N. B. Herald by saying that
he has not frightened Benjamin IN
the least for he figures that although
Ventres is considerably I bigger than
he, that the big ones fall hard, and
advises him to do his utmost in pre-
pairing for very bad defeat, If he
has never had such, although the self
said strong man of Berlin claims he
has never met defeat he must rea-
lie that there is always q first time
for everything and this will be his.
Mr.. Ventres said something about
his victory over some certain big
men. Now, if Benjamin started to
tell about the big men he has beaten,
it would by far excel Ventres record.
and he does not want to take up too
much newspaper space with trivial
things.
AS to Benjamin's advice as to
diet and how to get strong, we'll, that
was not for Mr.. Ventres' benefit. 1t
was for some people who admire Ben
jamins physical development and
tremendous strength and who wish to
try his recipe
BENJAMIN in my opinion will have
a sure victory for he has been up
against ventres type before.

WINS SpeC1al raw.
Hartford, Sept. Butt Hale, the
brown gclding in Tommy Murphy's
stable, was the sensation Of the final
days meeting of the Grand Circuit at
Charter Oak park yesterday, despite
the fact that he lost the special pac-
ing race with Russell Boy in two out
Of three.
The speedy youngster, sired by Sem
ator Hale, surprised the talent by
capturing the second heat from Rus
sell Boy and in doing so lowering his
race record to 2:02 y. half second
faster than his previous best perform
ance.
The other three races on the days
program were over the half-mile
track and were comparatively tame
performances. Minnie Arthur won
the 2:17 trot, having to TO four heats,
as Shows bay mare broke in the sec
ond heat and let Plucky Chap through
first to the wire.
In the 2:14 pace the field was ex
ceptionally poor and the first heat, in
2:19A. won by Rich Hal, caused the
judges to call the drivers, Gardner
and Martin, to the stand and advise
them to go out and race and bring
the horses home in something near
the time Of which they were capable.
Rich Hal took the second heat and
after that stopped almost completely.

ager Fielder Jones.
Two weeks ago Joe Dugan, the New
Haven boy, who Is now with the Ath-

lights concerning the Browns. Ac-
cording to Dugan the poor playing of
the Browns has been subject for
much comment among the American
league set He says that the players
as whole, cannot understand the
failure of the Browns to win. 1t is

In a statement recently issued by
the ST. Louis magnate he declared
that for each $1,000 that he will lose

believe that Jones has mismanaged
