the officers Of the general army. Gen.
Tillotson is correct in his statements,
but he has not proven that volun-
tecr system can be, successfully car
ried out. Nor has he shown the
statements of the Officers of the gen
eral army that the present system
does not insure enough training to
prepare soldiers for war is incorrect.
We believe they are true, and While
we would not belittle the work the
National Guard of Vermont has &C.
complished or the good showing it
made when called upon to enter the
federal service, We do not believe this
country can be properly prepared for
defence until it has trained all of it's
young men for efficient military SER
ask part of the men of this coun-
try to sacrifice their time and service
for the protection of others just as
we'll qualified by nature for military
service as they are. Gen. Tillotson
and the National Guard of Vermont
are all right but the system of which
they are a part is not sufficient for
national protection in time Of need.
It cannot produce enough men for the
ranks or enough officers to properly
direct an army of the magnitude that
a real crisis would demand.

The Year 1917

We wish you all A Happy New
Year. 1t is going to be an
historic year. Peace undoubtedly
viii be established before the year
closes. The inflated war values in
America will be readjusted with ire
mendous losses to spectators and the
business Of peace will be reestablished
to some extent. The great struggle
between the organized railroad broth
erhoods and railroad managers will be
brought to q crisis and undoubtedly
settled. Congress will declare itself
in some way on legislation affecting
the railroads. Unless the Industrial
situation becomes too much disturbed
We expect to see some important in
dustrial developments right here in the
State of Vermont that will bring new
prominence to the state Another i'm
portant development will he an effort
to control and prevent a repetition of
speculative robbery in the necessities
of life. All in all it is going to be an
important year to this country and
the world. Every person should re-
solve on the opening day of the year
to take an interested part in the epoch
making events 1917 is sure to bring to

The South In the Saddle.

Despite the fact that the United States
treasury faces a deficit of $4,000
900 or more this year the House has
passed a bill appropriating S45,00O,-
900 to begin the reclamation of 49,
100000 acres Of swamp land on the
banks of the Mississippi river in four
southern states, and has been reported
favorably to the senate by commit
This appropriation is only beginning
as it is estimated the project will cost
the government $2O0,O00,OOO or more.
The completion of this work will in
crease the value Of the land in ques-
ton from $1G0, 200 to $1,000, 000,-
600, or ten fold, to the private owners
Of it. The government will not have
q cents worth of title to the land
when it has spent this enormous sum-
IS per cent of the income and cor
pOration taxes of the country will
contribute the maximum portion Of
this great slice of pork, and q few
southern land promoters will pocket
the millions the government sinks in

The Allies Refusal OF Peace

The answer of the allied govern
tain. Italy, Japan, Montenegro, Por-
tugal, Roumania, Russia and Serbia to
the German proposal of peace is what
was forecast, a fiat refusal to consider
the matter at present. At the same
time they announce that their attach
ment to peace is as strong today as it
was in 1914 when they did all in their
power to avoid war adding: But it
is not upon the word of Germany, af-
the peace Broken by her may be
based" They properly hold Germany
responsible for the war and the inva-
sion of Belgium and the statement that
treaties were scraps of paper and
that necessity knows no law"
We believe the answer of the Allies
is correct and that the neutral coun-
tries will approve of their decision not
to treat with Germany and her Allies
at this time. Germany has violated
her pledges not only with the coun-
tries with which she it at war, but
with many of the neutral countries,
especially the United States. These
countries cannot be expected to re-
ceive her proposal for peace without
any proposition Of penalties, repara-
ton or guarantees.
The answer of the Allies does not
shut out the hope of negotiations for
peace. 1t is evident Germany wants
peace. That is the only explanation
of her proposal to the Allied powers
She realizes she cannot prosecute the
war much longer without disastrous
results. The hungry people of Ger
many want peace and the government
of Germany must give it to them. II
it can not enter peace negotiations on
its own terms it must soon listen to
the terms its enemies propose. 1t will
do SO and we confidently expect before
many months have passed real nego-
tiation5 for peace viii be under way
