Christian Science periodicals, who has Just
died at Brookline, has conferred high
credit upon American journalism. The
Christian Scientists have produced in their
daily paper. the Monitor, one of the
ablest papers published in the country.
There is no other American newspaper
that so consistently and so carefully covers
all of the affairs Of all OF the world To
student of the times, the material from
Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Aus
trala and the uttermost parts of the
world makes the paper invaluable. The
Monitor published the best prohibition
material OF any paper in the world not
excepting the papers that make a spe
cialty of the prohibition issue, 1t is also {
very strong supporter of universal sui
frage and Of democracy i'll every phase
Back of this has stood Mr. Mcclellan anC
therefore to him should go the very high

THE U-BoAT MENACE.

In a copyrighted despatch from London
to the New York Times, Charles II
Grasty, one of the officers OF that great
newspaper, makes some startling state
mcnts regarding the German submarine
menace In spite OF all that has been
said about the lessening Of the toll taken
by the U-boats Mr. Grasty demonstrates
that at the present rate Of shipping con-
structon and destruction there cannot pos
sibly be at the end Of a few months ship
ping enough to feed England and France
and maintain the present armies in the
field; and as for conveying Americas ar
mics to Europe and maintaining them it
win be out OF the question
The loss Of ships by submarines totals
/ 100000 tons a month, or from two to
three times the total Of new construction.
There is no possibility whatever Of con
stuction capacity overtaking at the pres
ent rate Of loss in time to avoid peace
being forced on the Allies What is
wanted, therefore. is to largely increase the
destruction Of U-boats.
The British government is, and the
American government ought to be. says
Mr.. Grasty, eye to eye with the stagger
ing fact that the Allies have got to find
a way to curb the submarine or lose the
war-a way not yet found and not ever
approached, except experimentally.
Damage by submarines has been reduced
by American cooperation, but every singI,
ton of craft effective against submarine
ought to be sent to European waters with
out a single hours delay.
1t is crystal clear that protection i
not needed from the submarine in Ameri
can waters, and keeping destroyers on tn
Atlantic scahoard is a sheer waste of time
when the situation here is SO critical Til

1t is around the Irish Coast that tn

No" said Billy, "for they don't

bags are left on the doorsteps by the

"Fine," said the goats. And the very
next morning each of them had spe-
cial treat of bag of rolls for break

Vermonters With Canadian Troops.
lRartnn Monitor.


\ point in the discussion about the
number of Vermont volunteers to the
regular army which has not been con-
sdcred at all, but which has an impor-
tant bearing on the question neverthe-
less, is the fact that many Nermonters
have volunteered and enlisted with the
Canadian troops. Reports continually
received of wounded and dead Vermont
ers who went with Canadian contin-
gents. prove beyond a doubt that a very
considerable number of Nermonters did
OF even wait for the United States to de
clare war and call for volunteers before
going to fight against the enemy Many
La Nermonter, we shall probably never
know how many, has done more than to
enlist. They have gone across the water
with the army of our neighbor, and some
have paid the supreme price, while
Others are coming back to US crippled.
The Monitor ventures the statement
that more men from this state, in pro-
lportion to its population, have gone in
| to the Canadian army than from any
other state III the union. While such a
/ condition would not help matters as to
volunteering so far as a record of num-
| bers is concerned, in fact it makes a
great difference and places Vermont in
an enViable position.

Word has been received from the Red
Cross national headquarters that Vermont
is better organized than any other state
in the Union All Of which is extremely
gratifying but does not eradicate the fact
that there is still room for Improvement.
There was woeful lack of organization
in this states handling of the Red Cross
war fund campaign, and that accounts for
its failure to raise within S25,O00 OF ITS
quota for that purpose.

CRACK CASTLETON SAFE.
Professionals Make Haul of $500 in
General Store


RUTLAND, July PA duo of pro
fessional cracksmen blew open the safe
in the |. NJ Coon general store and post
office at Castleton Corners, II miles from
this city, yesterday morning at go
0 clock and up to the present time but
little trace of the burglars has been
found. The safe door was blown open
and about 800 in money, stamps and
registered mail was removed, but the
thieves overlooked nearly $500 in cash,
which was within reach, $3.50 being in
side the safe in a cigar box. The men,
one of whom was seen by Cyrus f. Oak
man of this city, son-inlaw of Mr..
Coon, ran from the building soon after
the safe door fell off and jumping into a
high powered automobile were probably
soon without the borders of the state.
