Perhaps the government is doing
more to place the United States on
the fighting line than we know about.
AT any rate our fleet turned up in the
war zone before the public knew it
was out of United States waters.
Then comes the news from across the
Atlantic that United States vessels
have arrived in France with provis-
ions for American soldiers to be la
ter taken across, and none of us knew
that provisions had even been pur-
chased. Last comes the news that
Pershing with his staff of nearly 200
men had arrived In England, and we
were just reading about Pershing
having been given command of the
army which was to go to France
Some fine morning we shall wake up
and learn that American soldiers are
on the battle front, while we are still
talking over so-called CONSUMPTION
blunders. After all the administra-
ton is doing more than the country
store court knows about, even though
it may not be doing all its critics
think it should. Incidentally it may be
said that the great eWs-gathering
agencies of the United States knew
Of these great events, but believing
it was for the best interests of the
country to keep them secret, estab-
lished its own censorship.

The Central Vermont railroad has
instigated a new and novel summer
outing plan which bids fair to open
an unlimited field for tourists and
railroads. The scheme is a combined
railroad and automobile tour. Taking
its passengers from Boston the Cen
tral Vermont will bring them to diff
ferent Vermont points by rail and
then by automobile reach places 9TH
erwise inaccessible The ticket is
purchased by the city dweller for the
whole trip. This plan opens up an
entirely new and as yet undeveloped
source of revenue for railroads. The
Boston & Maine would find this plan
If it is received by tourists with any
degree of enthusiasm at all, one
which could be made to develop it's
own business and the country in many
sections through which it passes to a
very great degree. Take the north
eastern section of Vermont, known as
the lake region of the state, and auto
mobile tours put on and properly adj
vertised by the railroad, would bring
thousands of summer people here who
will never otherwise know of this
wonderful country of lakes, rivers,
valleys and mountains.

LONDON. June IA dispatch 10 Reuters Telegram Company from headuuarters in France says:
 "The enemy's withdrawal in the vicinity of the Messines ridce is eN- tending somewhat farther southward. The German heavy shells are gen orally reported as falling at the ex- treme range which means that the enemy has withdrawn his big guns as fas as possible. short of actually put ting them out of action.
 "The British contact patrols are harassing the enemy as much as pos sible and the artillery is maintaining a steady bombardment of his new positions. The country across which the Germans are retiring is low and marshy and in wet weather liable to be flooded but thanks to the long drought it offers no particular difficult ty to the British at the present time. Thus the strategic situation is full of interesting possibilities"

 DENVER, June 14.-Officers of the United Mine Workers, representing members of that organization em- ployed by the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, have telegraphed their na- tional officers asking permission to strike.
 e A motion instructing James F. Mo ran, district president of the organiza- tion, to ask for permission to strike was taken at a meeting of union rep resentatives here yesterday it became known today. At the morning ses sion a resolution was adopted express ing disapprobation of the action of J. F. Welborn, president of the Fuel com pany. for failure to attend the meet ing, which was a part of peace pro gram" to prevent industrial difficulties in the state during the war.
 The grievances of the men, accord ing to John McLennan. spokesman for them, center about the operation of the so-called Rockefeller plan" at the mines. McLennan said the failure of MT. Welborn to attend the meeting and discuss these grievances with the men precipitated the strike situation.
 It was said by union leaders that strike action might be extended to other operating concerns, which had not attended the meeting.
 About 5000 men are employed by the Colorado Fuel & Iron compeny.

 Germany's military masters denied the United States the right to be neu- tral. the president said, and by extra ordinary insults and aggressiOns left us no self-respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as free people and of our honor as sov- ereign government" He recalled how the imperial government had forbade Americans to use the high seas, and time and again executed its threat Co send them to their death; how it filled this unsuspecting country with spies and conspirators and sought by vio- lence to destroy industries and arrest commerce, and finally how the Berlin foreign office tried to incite Mexico and Japan into a hostile alliance.
 What great nation," he asked, ''in such circumstances would not have taken up arms?
 Now that America has been forced to war" declared the president, "she bids her young men go forth and fight for the same old, familiar, heroic, pur- pose which it has seen it's men die upon; which Americans have borne arms since the revolution"
