MIG INDUSTRIES AND BIG HEARTS.


Tho voluntary raising Of wages is a
praiseworthy act, especially by great

company in q time OF war. We arc In

we cannot appreciate the full inagni-
tude Of this step, however. unit, we &c:
some idea of the extent of this great
corporations work. The American
Wooden company has no less than forty
mills spread throughout the eastern
part Of the United States. it's army of OPP
eratives numbering 100000.
1t is figured that this advance in
wages. the second within a year, will
increase the cost of operation $4,000
week, or a yearly aggregate of no less
than s3,90O,0oO
In this connection several thoughts
present themselves. In the first place,
it is we'll worth our while to encourage
the advent to Burlington and vicinity
of great industries of this sort. which
spend SO much money and keep funds
in constant circulation. In the second
place, We should be encouraged by con-
sideration of the fact that these indus
tries must find conditions in Burling-
ton and other towns in Vermont at
tractive. else they would not come here.
1t is now up to the people of Burling-
ton and Winooski and Vermont in gen.
eral to discover why manufacturers Sc
1ect this location. and seek to make our
attractions more irresistible. We
should seek not only not to kill the
goose that lays the golden eggs, but
we should also try to encourage that
goose to decoy others and thus increase
our egg production.
Any man who would try to teach our
industrial goose birth-control. and thus
cut off the supply of golden eggs,
should be conscripted selectively for
submarine warfare in Lake Champlain
with milestone to help keep him
down.
We take off our hats to President
William w. Wood of the American
WOODEN company as we'll as to Mana
ger George E. Whitney Of the local
plant. and wish them many returns of
the day-when they advance wages.

THE ARMY OF RELIEF.

The Red Cross must be numbered
henceforth among the necessities Of peace
and war alike. quite as much SO as a
permanent army of adequate size For
that matter. the occasions for use of
such an organization are far more
numerous than those for an army. for
which during war the Red Cross Is the
official agency of relief. There will al
ways be riots. floods, conhagrations,
hurricanes. earthquakes even, and the
need Of nationally -ramifying assoca-
ton like ths RED Csass } constant. On
such IN occasion az the san Francisco
earthquake. community or even State
organizations are not equal to the de-
mands for relief made upon them And the
Red Cross Is of value. not merely

Of its capacity to organize under one

VACATED FRANCE
is A DESERT
German vandals Destroyed Everything
Before RetreatinE. Says
Amha asadOr Sharp


Ambassador sharp
More details of the vandals' orgy which
attends the German retreat from north
ern France are contained In a report to
the state department from Ambassador
Sharp. who writes Of his personal obser-
vations and quotes from German ac-
counts.
Great distress prevails throughout
those Districts" the report said. because
of the very wantonness of the retreating
army in carrying out the destruction of
everything which would contribute to the
bare existence of the population and also
of every means Of earning a livelihood"
From a local German paper the ambas-
sador quotes a description Of the scenes
and states that from his own personal
observation he can vouch for it's entire
accuracy
"All is a desert" says the German ac-
count. across which the road Is the last
vestige Of a vanished civilization: and the
road itself will disappear in a few days.
The crossroads are mined and the mine
chambers charged. Motor driven plows
are at work in the fields, rendering them
impossible for the enemy's artillery and
conveys. Troops on the march pass with
wagons laden with provisions and uten-
sils. They have left nothing In the posi-
tions evacuated. What has not been
destroyed has been burned or smashed.
Soldiers have blown up their shelters and
rendered their wells and former quarters
useless. The wells that remain will be
destroyed by explosives. Even cellars
have been blown up. The work was
carried out methodically during weeks
and months. in order not to arouse the
suspicion Of the enemy
Mr.. Sharp says he was told by the wife
Of the mayor Of Mayor that the most
urgent need now confronting the people
of that district is implements to enable
them to take up the work of reconstruct
ton. They have been deprived of every
implement for use in rebuilding or repair
work. The position OF the farmer is no
more favorable, all the agricultural i'm
plements having been destroyed.
The French government through mill
tary organization is supplying food to
the stricken inhabitants OF the district.
Sore need. however, is felt by the lack
of other relief supplies.
