Germany's New Peace Party.

The Socialists in Germany have spoken
for peace at times when the kaiser
thought il desirable; have acted as his
agents in the attempt TO lure the Rus
slams into the Stockholm BOBBY trap,
and have tugged manfully on wires that
ran into Paris through Geneva. Their
peace activities formed a well organized
part of the German campaign. Now
however. comes one who belongs to the
Catholic Centrist party, powerful in
south Germany, and who demands
frank abandonment Of the policy Of re
tanning conauests Erzberger, who
speaks thus, occupies an important posi-
ton in his party and is an important
figure in the Reichstsg. His expressions
are taken by German newspapers as
direct attack on his nations war policy.
Such an attack from such a quarter
means more than any amount Of the re-
cent Socialist outery.
The south German people have less
sympathy with the Prussianized empire
into which they entered within living
memory Of their more u0rthsrly neigh

WHAT VERMONT HAS DONE IN THE
WAR.

The 50 young men in Vermont who
have enlisted in the regular army will
not be subject 10 the draft.-Boston
Globe.
The above is a sample Of an idea that
has been going the rounds of the metro
politan newspapers for week or more,
and we are more or less surprised that
The Globe should do Vermont the in
justice of presenting the statement in its
isolation because The Globe has better
facilities for knowing the real conditions
in Vermont than most Of the other met
ropolitsn papers We agree that the
isolated fact that Vermont had, up to
the last announced record. presented only
50 men for enlistment in the regular
army does not make a very good show
ing for a state which syinced more pa
triotism to the square inch during the
civil war than some states did 70 the
square mile.

vermont's War Record.

II Vermont's quota for the conscript
army is only 500, as the sdjutsnt gener-
ais Office claims, it becomes apparent
that the state has been done a great in
justice. Under present standards, by
which the man power of a regiment Is
materially increased. Vermont has one
full regiment recruited, which is bet
ter record than several other states Of
larger population to her size. Vermont
has responded as well as any state and
better than most. while many of the
inland states have scarcely contributed
a man this branch of the service. With
the Importance and the patriotism Of
farming emphasized ever since the start
of the war many young Nermonters
have been led 20 feel that they are best
serving their country by staying on the
farms for the present. The principle
of universal military service has long
been advocated in Vermont and her rep
resentstives in Congress were in sbso-
lutte accord on the matter on the final

measure were never even threatened an

advice was finally needed and the box
score is given below:
Alderman Milne: The $4,000 surety is
guarantee that the company will live
UP to its agreement with reference ia
public improvements. Articles that may
be appealed to the public service com
mission refer only TO fares and running
schedule and under the new franchise
the service probably would not suffer
any impairment. The new franchise IL
much preferable to the one now in OPP
Grafton. which may be likened to a scrap
of paper
Alderman Healv: Referred to his col
leagues remarks previously made by
saying that he had already shot his bolt.
Alderman Loranger: Would dislike to
see the city vote away all OF its priv
ileges and thought that while the $4,000
bond is an attractive feature, it was TO
be noted that articles bearing on the
public service commission automatically
eliminated the city as controlling fac
tor.
Alderman Reynolds: The price which
the city must pay to secure new fran

Preferred not to sell the privileges en-
ioyed under the present franchise for a
psltry $4,000 Noted that up to three
years ago the traction company paid its
obligations and helped build good roads.
Alderman Rossi; Before turning down
the old for the new Franchise would like
to have the powers of the public service
commission defined. Open to conviction.
Alderman Alexander; The present
franchise needs changes. Thought the
city should control city affairs as far as
possible and suggested that in the event
that the tentative draft is accepted pro-
vision should be inserted whereby the
two parties to the contract would revert
to the old franchise il the bond sgree-
ment is not fulfilled. Open to conviction
and preferred time to study the question.

arise among these folk sooner or later,

cessation OF military success. Erzber-
gers declaration strikes close to the
south Germans tendencies.
A more disturbing possibility for Prus-
sianism is the one that Erzberger speaks
in behalf of Austria. That empire has
new ruler, who has never been actively
identified with policies of German expan-
sion, and who has given signs of wanting
peace. His empress has two brothers in
the French army and is Bourbon of
French sympsthies. Austria is sick OF a
war in which her armies have been Sc
verely punished. The country's ruler un-
doubtedly would like to close the trag
edy. Between Austria and south Ger
many are close ties. That of religion

The news story of the fate of small
boy who became lost in the woods OF
Ferdinand, Vermont drove many people
to the geography to locate the town OF
Ferdinand They found that Ferdinand
is located in the woods of Essex county
They might have learned further that it
is unorganized, that it contains 2S079
acres, mostly timberland, that its popu-
lation is 2l3 and that its nearest railroad
station is Wenlock on the Grand Trunk
railroad, While not exactly a trackless
waste, Ferdinand is sufficiently wild SO
that two young boys could easily mis-
take their way and be forced to lie down
and wait for death or rescuers. 1t is n
pitiable tale that in the present case one
of the two boys became so weakened
from exhausting effort and from fright
that he lost consciousness and died after
the little wanderers had been located by
their anxious parents and the other
searchers.

The negative side of the alleged flag
insulting incident in the village of Wash
ington on July 4 has presented case
which minimizes the incident to a eonsid-
cradle extent, making it apparent that
in the removal of two flags no offense
was meant to the flag itself, and carry
ing out the impression that the removal
was more or less the result of misguided
energy on the part of someone bent on
amusement. The restoration of two flags
TO their former places also goes far to-
ward convincing us that the incident was
more or less thoughtless action. We feel
sure that the people of Washington have
as much veneration for the United States
flag as the people of any community in
Vermont and that they do not condone
any act of miscreancy in connection with
that emblem, even though the act be
nothing more than the removal of the
emblem from some selected place. The
fact that two large flags float over the
main street without being tempered with
shows that Washington has the proper
respect for that which typities the gov
eminent of the United States.

Inasmuch as the German air raids on
England amount to but little from a
military standpoint, there may be an
element of truth in the British officials
statement that the reason for the at
tacks is to draw off many of the British
airmen who are now giving the allies the
superiority on the war front in France
and Belgium. Great Britain and France
are probably building airplanes faster
than Germany at the present time; and
if few German planes can occupy the
attention of hundreds OF British planes
it might serve to reduce the allies su.
periority on the firing line.

If the government is anxious to gel
$4,000 men for military service under
the draft, it ought to be willing to notify
officially those who have been selected
for the army Report has it that every
one of the eligible men must make per
sonal appeal to the county clerk to know
if they are called to bear arms in France
That should not be so. The government
ought to honor the men called to service
by at least giving them formal notifica'
ton that they are wanted.

HURRY UP THE c. X. & O.

In cheering for Liberal I'd take off my hat
She's showing them east that she's on the map
Among western cities she'll soon be the Queen
She's been growing faster than any you've seen.
And in just short time the whistles will blow
From the trains running the G. X. & O.
Coal will be cheaper they had better be fast,
Or We'll have our pipes in and all burning gas;
Cause things moving round this mans town,
Brick buildings going up and oil wells down.
We're no slow bunch we want EN- to know,
So you'd better whip up with your c. K. 80.
There was some business you're too late to get
1t happened while things little bit wet
But if you move along and stay out of court
Well load you with wheat and bill for export
To the Galveston harbor want it to go,
You can get there quick on the C. K. & o.
There's plenty to haul of things that are raw,
So don't get offended at our "bone dry" law.
Just think of the money that you're going to make
Pulling grain into Texas and hauling back cake
The freight will be cheaper for you told us so,
With the short pull you'll have Ger the c. K & O.
We surely do hope when you mark your slate
You'll run on that time not four hours late
We know of one road, and it's not hard to find
Where trains running but they're always behind.
So we would suggest don't start em out slow,
But keep 'em on time your c. K. & o.
