RED CROSS SLACKERISM.

II would be eminently more fair if the
proposed new Red Cross campaign in
Vermont to make up the states quota of
| 100000 for war relief work should be
conducted in those cities and towns
which failed to do their duty in the
initial campaign. Many of the cities
and towns did more than their duty in
the first endeavor, and 1T would be like
penalizing open-hearted generosity to
ask them to make up for the slackness
of those other cities and towns that did
not come up to the mark. To speak
plainly, Burlington was one of the com
munities which did not do its duty or
anywhere near its duty. Burlington is
the largest and richest community in the
state, center of cultural life and edu-
cation, yet Burlington contributed less
than half what Rutland raised and less
than a third of what the little town of
Proctor advanced for the great Red Cross
work. Burlington's total was only 81
O09s whereas the amount should have
been S25 600. When the community,
which was the headquarters of the Red
Cross campaign and which might have
been expected to be the leader in the
movement throughout the whole state,

There has been noticeable absence OF
news about tetanus cases developing
from unwise celebrations of Independence
day. Thus the safe and sane Fourth is
justifying itself beyond the expectations
of those who were at first lukewarm in
their support of the movement. AT the
same time it is not contended that the
people of the United States have lost any
patriotism just because they have sac
rifced some noise and glitter May the
safe and sane Fourth continue until we
all learn how to take care of ourselves on
the anniversary of our nations independ-
ence.

officers arriving in this city in COM
pany with Deputy Sheriff John Robin
son. are busily securing the country
for a fellow who IS going under the
name of Steve Lutz. Lutz gave his
home as Gary. but it is said that he
was, or is. resident of Newland, Ind.
and il is for that reason that the Gary
officers came to this county to look for
their man.
Lutz. il Is alleged. in company with
others. is a brass thief. obtaining his
plumber from about the Pennsylvania
railroad yards in Gary.
Bed clothes, tied together and fast
ened to a radiator. offered a means OF
escape for Lutz from a Gary hospital
where he had been confined following
wounds received in a clash with rail-
road detectives Lutz obtained his
freedom in spite of close watch which
had been maintained by both police
and nurses. His condition was such
that IL was believed ne could NOS es-
cape unassisted and as further pre-
caution he was assigned to a room on
the third floor. The nurses were in
structed to watch the exits.
Lutz made his escape between and
O'Clock. and his absence was not dis
covered by the nurses until he had
sufficient time to get several blocks
away. He was clad only in night
gown and a bath rome when he made
his precarious descent. The police
secured the vicinity for the fugitive
1t is believed that friends awaiting out
side in an automobile helped him to
make his getaway.
Lutz was found wounded one night
about a week ago when he and four
companions motored to secluded
wood near Gary to claim some brass
which they had stolen from freight
cars in that vicinity. They had care

The speakers on both sides of this

efficiency. costs. democracy. partisan
