With Russia in Line,
Germany Must Admit
Her Load Is Too Heavy


II is most evident from the speech of
Bethmann-Hollweg where Germany s
hopes lie at the present time
Germany is not counting on those
routed, beaten battered torn and bag
gard troops on the western front whose
"position has never been So good since
the beginning Of the war
Germany is not even counting upon or
stalking all upon the success of her SUBJ
marines, which are operating with
increased success.
Bethmann- Hollweg would have spo-
ken with even fainter heart IL he
thought Germany had 20 rely ON these
forces.
Germany must conclude separate
peace with Russia
And there isn't bit of doubt, after
reading the ch8ncellor's speech, that
Germany is willing to go even farther
than she has offered to go. 60 get Russia
to lay down arms.
BerIins hand having been so plainly
revealed. it is for the Allies of which
we are now a part, to be on the alert
at every point-there is great danger IN
permitting ourselves TO be too treasured.
for with matters as uncertain as they
are and the Russian state as chaotic as
it is, we have little means of knowing
with any positivcness exactly where we
are at
We believe that Germany efforts at
this time will fail
The loan of our government of $780,
100000. made yesterday, came right
upon the heels of the refusal to accept
the coalition terms of the soldiers and
workmen's terms. and VIII help TO offset
the proposal to Russia from Berlin.
There is an old, old saying that is Just
as true in war time as at any other time.
if not a little more so. and that saying
is, Money talks
There is another old saying that holds
good-"Actions speak louder than
words"
Germany has offered Russia nothing
more than promises.
The words nothing more are used
advisedly.
An American dollar is worth more
today than it ever was
A promise made by the German gov
eminent doesn't amount to a whole lot
It's value is one Of the very few
things to have declined since war started. (
One hundred million dollars of Amer
lean money will demonstrate to Russia
Just how much in earnest we are; just
how great we consider the principle chat
finds US in the war on behalf Of Russia. /
This loan will provide the provisional
government with the sinews for keeping
Russia in the fight to a finish, which is
the aim Of the provisional government, +
practically supported now by the radical
element of the empire
Russia must be kept in line.
Without Russia the position Of the
Allies would suffer seriously, never CON
ceding. however, that the fight for the
restoration of the German people would
be lost
But just as soon as Germany realizes
that there is no longer a possibility Of
persHading Russia to step ont of the
ranks, just that soon viii Germany come .
before the world and admit the hope (
lessness Of the burden she undertakes to
carry.
Every American will sense the import Z
ance of Russia and viii be in favor Of .
the loan or anything else we can do to .
impress upon that country, facing now
such bright prospects hat her future
is at stake and can be left TO more trust F
worthy hands than those which arc
stained with The blood of Regiau babie

MIDI PLAYS VERMONT TOMORROW
Close Game Indicated from Com
parison of eason's Records.

Tomorrow MIDI meets her old rival
Vermont on Porter Field at three
o clock. Both teams have been playing
good ball this year and close game is
certain.
MIDI has played eight games thus far
this season, has won four, lost three
and played l3 inning tie last week
with Boston College Vermont has
played only four games, winning all but
the game with Penn. State. Middle
bury defeated Penn. State to 5 and
from the results of games played seems
to have the better team. Mddlebury
will be somewhat weakened by the
absence of Bresnahan and Satterlee who
have left college and new infeld will
be tried. Crippen will probably start
the game for MIDI and Palmer for Yer
mont. The teams will lineup as fol-

MANY COMING TO SUMMER SESSION
New Spanish School an Attraction
and Many for French

Indications are that the summer
session at Middlebury College will not
be adversely affected by the war, On
the contrary, the institution of new
school in Spanish Ia feature which has
already attracted above thirty applica-
tons, and twice as many az last year
have enrolled for the French courses,
The German school will be continued
with substantial attendance, for
though some have gone to the extreme
of giving up this study on account Of
the war, there are plenty of others who
appreciate that the United States is
not at war with the German language.
The summer session opens June 80
aud closes August 10, covering a period
of six weeks. The new Spanish school
will be conducted by Prof, Julian
Moreno-Lacale, Of the department Of
modern languages in the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis, assisted
by Prof. Jose Martel Of the same in
stituton and Miss Beu-Olier of Wash
ington, d. c. Plans were first made to
provide for about fifteen or twenty in
this school, but Accommodations are now
made for forty,
The French and German schools will,
as usual, each have staff of native
French and German teachers, Prof.
II. p. Williamson De Visme will be in
charge of the French school, and Prof.
l.. l.. Stroebe of Vassar college in
charge of the German school,
The School for Music will again be in
charge of Miss Minnie Hayden Of Bos-
ton, assisted by Harris Shaw Of
Boston.
The English school is designed this
year especially to help teachers Of
elementary and secondary schools in
Vermont, and large attendance is eX-
pected because of the recent change in
Vermont school laws, requiring teachers
to take some professional training in
summer school. Prof. V. c, Harrington
will have a course in Literature as
Interpretation of Life" and Prof. Julian
w. Abernethy one in "The Appreciation
of Literature. Both of these courses
are given at the request Of Dr.
Hillegas, Commissioner of Education.
Prof. Mcfarland, director of the
summer session, is making arrange
ments to accommodate large attend
ance. Many reservations have already
been made.
