Nearly every class or design of vessel

more or less of an even keel, which
means that 1t sinks level and not with
Its bow or stern up In the air.
This Ia accounted for by the fact that
at whatever point the water may en-

there are no subdivisions TO obstruct ii.
Now, In the case of modern yes

high out of the water, or else she sinks
with a heavy list or cant, to one side
or the other. The reason for this is
that the bulkheads prevent the water
which enters the vessel from finding
it's level Consequently when one par
ticular portion of the ship is full of wa

water tight, that part which Is water

MORE MISTAKES" IN VERMONT.

The latest shooting tragedy to be re.

has it, an innocent child was slain by a

years, who, by reason of that age, should
have reached mental state of some re.
sponsibility. The report continues that
the young man was Frustrated" by the
consequences of his carelessness. How
ever, that does not atone for his act; nor
does il make less likely the possibility of
similar occurrence by some other person
81 years old or less or more. The inn
posing of punishment would tend to de-
crease the likelihood of similar occur.
rences. Why should the fellow 90 exon
Grated? If it can be proved that he was
careless, why does il not follow that he
should be held responsible albeit it was
not his intent to shoot the child? It is a
curious anomaly of our law that one per-
son can take the life of another person
without design and be legally absolved,
whereas another person has to go to
prison for punching a persons face, just
because it was proven that there was in
tent in the latter act. Moreover, an au
tomobilist who by mistake runs down
and kills or Injuries person is often
times held to account under the law and
may be tried on charge at least as
great as breach of the peace. Why

Few people know that plays in Eng
land, Germany, Italy and France were
fostered for religious purposes by the
church centuries before they were tax
en- up as a separate secular business.
Moreover. few visitors to st. Paul's
cathedral, in London, realize that the
church during Elizabeth's reign and
the first years of the reign of James l..
set aside one Of its adjacent buildings
for use as secular theater. Its little
stage was famous, and the company OF
choir boys as actors presented many Of
the great plays OF Shakespeare's time.
They acted from about 1893 to 1908
under the management of Edward
Pierce. their great master in music,
who as church alEoner, had business

The first need for men in the nations
crisis will naturally be for the navy in
asmueh as the navy will have to bear
the first brunt OF the participation in the
war. Six months ago the complement
of men for the navy was far short of the
required number. Since then efforts have
been made all over the country to secure
enlistments for the sea service; and it is
to be presumed that the complement has
been nearly filed by this time. However,
a sizeable naval reserve will be necessary
in the event of the outbreak of hostili
ties, both to make up the shortage Incl
dent to the ravages of war and to man
the new ships as they are rushed to com
pletion. The work Of enlisting for the
navy should, therefore, be continued with
redoubled vigor. The army service can

CURRENT COMMENT
The Assault on Dutch Shins.

The torpedoing Of the seven Dutch
ships by German Uboats was an afro
ciously wanton incident of the submarine
warfare. The Dutch ships were on voy-
ages between neutral ports: not one car
ried cargo destined for the enemies of
Germany. One or two were yoyaging
between Dutch colonies and Holland !;
others between New York and Rotter-
dam laden with grain for the Dutch peo-
pie, who are not at war with anybody.
While the ships, when attacked, were
within the zone prohibited TO neutral
shipping by the Berlin decree of January
81, the majority of them. eastbound,
were entitled to special Indulgence The
world is informed on German authority
that the Dutch ships leaving Falmouth, a
port of call, on Feb 22, were guaranteed
at least relative safety" from Uboat
attacks. Hereafter the world viii know
what "relative safety" means,
But regardless of consideration of
this character, the assault on innocent
Dutch shipping presents in a very ag-
gravated aspect the unbridled arrogance
of Germany in sinking inofiensive neu-
trail merchantmen on the high seas Hol-
land depends on its ocean tonnage for
its food; and in destroying the grain
ships of the country the Germans delib-
erately force weak neutral people to
the verge of starvation.
The incident may be an example of
German terrorism designed TO brighten
off the high seas all neutral shipping
that might possibly engage later on in
trade with the British Isles. Already
the stoppage Of a number of regular
sailings between Dutch and British or
allied ports had attracted the anxious
attention of the British government

PASSIvITY OF VERMONT VILLAGES
REGARDING FIRE.

90" but there was no water pro-
lection and no fire appliances of any kind
with which to fight the flames"
The above excerpt from news article
describes the village of Ferrisburg Cen
| ter, where fire wiped out a store, the
postofce and some small structures con
| tiguous thereto; but it might just as
well have been applied to scores of small
er communities in Vermont which are liy-
ing in combined hope and fear-hope that
the element of fire will not attack the in
hammable property of their village, and
fear lest the element will come. So,
tossed from fear to hope and then back
again from hope to fear, they pass their
days in supine passivity, just waiting
around for the thing to happen or not
happen. when they might bestir them
selves and get ready for the emergency
BY comparatively small expenditure
they could get some sort of fire fighting
apparatus which could be used TO cope
with the ordinary blaze that comes to the
lot of the average small community. A
few hundred dollars spent in prepared
ness would avert many thousands of dol
lars loss. a loss. too, which might mean
the abandonment Of the community
chief industry. II is false economy to
endeavor to save money in this way, to
gamble on the possibility of fire. At the
same time it is imposing an undue hard
ship on other and more progressive COM
munities by increasing the rates of in
surance in general through the mounting
losses which the fire insurance companies
are called upon to meet. If there Is any
thing left in Ferrisburg Center that is
worth saving, the people Of that commu-
nifty ought to start right now and pre-
pare against another invasion by fire.
Those scores of other Vermont communi-
ties should do the same.
