A PATRIOTIC ACTION.

Acting on their own initiative and re
spending unanimously, the business men
and women of Barre who are advertisers
in The Times donated their advertising
space in to-day's issue Of the paper in
order to impress upon the young men Of
Vermont two main facts, the first that
their country needs their services, and
the second, that they will probably find
more congenial comrades in the Vermont
National Guard than in some other
branch of the national service to which
they will be called. The draft is coming.
Young men physically and mentally fit
will be taken in that draft and sent to
whatever departments of the federal
service may suit the needs of the gov
eminent. But if they volunteer now in
the Vermont National Guard 1t is prob
able that they viii be permitted to re
main in the Vermont military unit, with

Ing those probable conditions and wish
ing to make the Vermont National Guard
a very strong organization for the de-
Tense of the nation, these business men
and women of Barre took the opportu-
nifty to-day TO urge the young men Of
Vermont to enlist at once, preferably
with the Headquarters company of Barre,
but if those ranks are soon filled, then
with some other company of the Nation
al Guard. 1t was patriotic and far
seeing purpose; and those who have thus
sacrificed the needs of their own business
in order TO advance the national welfare,
even in a small measure, will, we feel
sure, receive the appreciation of all

Even the tremendous whirring of the
wheels of industry in Great Britain could
not keep up with the stupendous expen-
dture of munitions on the French war
front. So the offensive operations had
to suspend in large measure for the mu-
nitions factories to accumulate another
vast reserve ready to send hurtling
against the Germans.

The use OF the roads for racing pur-

Some of those big German ships seized
by the United States government be-
cause of the war will make excellent tar
gets for the submarines; but the United
States government would be unwise, in
the present urgent need of the entente
allies for bottoms, to keep the German
prizes moored in American harbors to
rot and, perhaps to become targets OF
plots by Germans who may be in the
United States. 1t is estimated that the
interned German steamers have total
tonnage of approximately 100000 tons
which represents fair months work for
all the submarines which Germany has
available for use. Thus by the single
act of Selling those ships the United
States puts to the use OF the entente al
lies more tonnage than they could pos
sibly build in the same length of time,
The German steamers will come in quite
handy.

Sunday School Contest

The Baptist Sunday Schools of
Corbin, London, Williamsburg
and Barbourville have entered
into contract to see which one can
have the highest attendance dur
ing the four Sundays in Febru-
airy. The attendance for the
four Sundays will be aggregated
and the one having the highest
number will receive the Penant
which is the prize.
1t is hoped that this contest
will incite greater interest and
endeavor on the part of these
Sunday Schools. All are most
cordially invited to attend our
Sunday Schools, but no attempt
whatever at PROSECUTING is aimed
at in the contest.
This is a Christian enterprise
and is expected to be conducted
in Christ like way with only the
glory Of God and the edifcation
of his people in view. Surely all
Christians cln and will learn to
attend the Sunday School which
is the Teaching Service of the
Church.
