The efforts of the fuel committee OF
Vermont, aiding the similar committee
of New England, appear to be bearing re-
suits in the arrival of many carloads OF
coal in Vermont. As many as Is car
loads came into Barre and Montpelier on
a single day recently, nine Of the cars be-
ing consigned to Barre; and other
places in the state are reporting the ar
rival of consignments of unexpected size.
The committees have already justified
their appointment

The death of John B. Taylor at Den
yer, Colo, Wednesday night removes one
of the able newspaper men of Vermont,
and his going will be regretted by a
large number of people, particularly on
the west side of the state, where his edi-
torial activities had been conferred His
work on the st. Adams Messenger, Bur
,lington Free Press and Burlington News
stamped him as a capable, reliable man,
one of the sort which will be missed very
much.

There is a completeness to the major
operations of the French army that
commands admiration from all observ.
ers. Whatever they undertake with
great care and preparation they carry
out, as a rule. Officers and men alike
seem to feel the spirit of confidence
founded on knowledge of good prepare
ton and they 20 into the battle with
vast enthusiasm They are splTred on,
too, by the conviction that they are
fighting for the liberation of their coun-
try from the bondage of a hated foe.
This combination of things gives their
drives an impetus which carries them
along with tremendous dash and energy !;
and the fury of their onrush seems to
strike dismay into the hearts of the foe.
So it was in the battle of the Aisne ridge
on Tuesday. We have heard no reports
of detectives being taken but we are in
formed that the French cleaned out the
Germans from the last foot Of the ia
nous Aisne ridge, which formed one of
the great Instructions to the advance on
Laon, that in the vicinity of 5000 Ger
mans were taken prisoners, to say moth

Information that 1000 school children
in New York were rioting against the
Gary system will probably be taken by
the kaiser as news of protest against
American participation in the war.

Since he got out of the idea of taking
the boys out of the trenches by Christ
mas (l9l5), Henry Ford has been trund-
ling right along with the vast majority
of his fellow citizens. His action in sub
scribing for S5,OOO,0O0 Liberty bonds for
himself and $5oOO000 more for his com
lpany shows that he was merely mistaken
in judgment before and not perverse in
his opinions.

Not fit to be soldier" is the abrupt
way in which registered man was dis.
missed by the commanding officer in a
Massachusetts camp recently. 1t APP
piled to man who had moved heaven
and earth-almost-to shirk his duty to
his country. The man had been accepted
at first by the examining surgeon, where
upon he appealed to the district board
and then to the president of the United
States, only to have his appeal returned
by the president without action. On see
ond examination he was dimissed as mot
fit to be soldier" Such will be the
record which probably will go with that
man to his dying day-"not fit to be a
soldier" meaning not perhaps that he
would not have been physically equipped
TO carry a rifle but that he was lacking
in some other requirement that goes to
make soldier. Not fit to be a soldier"
will be his name henceforth

Before accepting the story of the Pet
rograd admiralty that 20 German war
ships were put out OF action, six being
sunk, to one battleship OF the Russians
sunk in the battle of Moon sound we
should like to hear the German version
not because we would believe the Ger
man version but because we should en-
deavor to strike the happy medium be-
tween the two yarns. The Petrograd
report is especially fantastical in that it
relates the prodigious act of the only
remaining sailor ON board the sinking
battleship Slava in firing torpedo just
before the ship went under, said torpedo
being so well aimed that it struck a
German torpedo boat and blew it 1.-THE
German torpedo boat to pieces; where
upon the Russian sailor said to himself
well done" or the Russian equivalent,
and went calmly to his death. IN. B.
That last feature was added by us be-
cause our imagination was so deeply
stirred by the imagination of the fellow
IN Petrograd who sent out the first part
Of the story,) So we want to hear the
other side of the Moon battle story,

A Little Bit from Each
The plan to abandon the hous tax
on electric lights and gas and take the
senate proposal to tax tea, coffee and
cocoa has much merit. The amount
Of money to be realized is doubtless as
large if not larger; and it will be paid
by a far greater number Of people
more widely distributed over the
country. The households which use
gas and electricity for domestic pur-
poses are, for the most part, to be
found in the more populous communl-
ties of the north, where industry and
have developed large e5tab-
lishments employing many hands and
where good wages have made the crea-
trf-e comforts and the modern con-
veniences of life in constant demand
On the other hand, all households use
the table beverages which the senate
proposes to levy upon. North and
south there are to be found tea
drinkers and coffee drinkers. The
theory of Kitchin and the southern
democrats, Of course, has always been
to seek out the streams Of revenue at ]

A Job for a Joint Committee
The first Of the special investigation
of the war is being undertaken by the
senate. 1t concerns the killing Of two
Red Cross nurses on the Mongolia by
the explosion of a shell which the
navy department had provided for the
guns which the ship was armed. The
senate's regular committee on naval
affairs will make the investigation
to the detriment of other pressing
work, perhaps If the joint committee
on the conduct of the war were in ex-
istence, as Senator Weeks and Repre-
sentative Madden have been trying TO
secure it, that committee would find
such an incident a5 this strictly with
in the scope of its work. Its relations
with the navy department and its
knowledge of war conditions would en-
able it to proceed without loss of time
to the critical point in the inquiry, and
its relations to congress would assure
the acceptance Of its conclusions with
out question. Such a committee would
facilitate legislation and action in cv-I
cry way that the proper conduct Of the
war requires. 1t would free congress
from the necessity of putting the exc
cutive departments under scrutiny, it
would free the administration from
the necessity for using cabinet lob
byists to urge measures which it wants
congress to pass. 1t would be the
most effective and helpful agency in
carrying on the war which could be
devised The president refuses to con-
sent to the creation of such commit

WASHINGTON NOTES
Ban on Barney the Bear

The decision not to make Barney
Baruch the centralized purchaser of
war supplies for our government and
our allies is said to have been reach
ed because of his operations in the
stock market at the time of the leak"
last December. The ban Of the leak"
is not general, however. Mr.. Price,
the Whit House reporter who was
involved in the scandal, has been Civ
en- a nice place on the censorship
board-an appropriate job for an ex-
pert on "leaks"-and it is probable
that the other reasons for Mr.. Bar
uch's failure were the more compel
ling. His position in the council Of
national defense has always been
rather anomalous. He made his rep
utation, such as it is, as a great bear
in Wall street. In other words, his
achievements have been along the line
of destruction rather than of construc-
ton. Yet he has acted as chairman of
most important board engaged in
affirmative work in the war, and his
subordinates have comprised some of

of the big British success was re-

the magnitude of the British achieve
ment and were inclined to pessimism
over prospects of new restrictions on
trading. Much uncertainty existed
also as to effects which transportation
troubles would have on values. Ad
vices, however. that implied acute en-
barrassment resulting from inability
to ship with any freedom out of rural
sections led in the last half Of the
day to a decided upturn of prices. A
more complete understanding of the
extent of the smashing of the linden
