Washington, Aug. 3O.-President
Wilson's reply to the Pope will be
spread over Germany by aeroplanes,
if there is any tendency on the part
of the German press to change its
meaning.
The president is determined on
this. He wants his message to reach
the German people. He wants them
to read and know for themselves that
the United States is warning not up
on them, but upon Imperialism He
will not have it presented in garbled
form.
President Wilson is confident that
his words will bear well on the Ger
mon people, it can be stated on high
authority.
Hundreds of thousands OF copies
of the note will probably be showered
over Germany. A German translation
is now being prepared by competent
German scholars here, which, II is
hoped, will be as compelling as the
original text. In planning for the dis
trihution. the administration is fol.
lowing the precedent attempted with
the presidents declaration Of war In
that instance, however, the distribu-
ton was confined almost exclusive
ly to the fighting lines. Discipline,
the state department has been In
formed, promptly gathered up the
missives that were dropped and few
of them even reached the soldiers. In
the present instance the allied air
feet has been so far perfected that II
is believed a much wider circulation
can be attained.
Airplanes have raided Westphalia.
They have approached close to Berlin.
1t is now considered practical that the
presidents note may be showered on
the Wilhelmstrasse itself and in ey.
cry large center Of German popula'
tion. More important than all, it can
be scattered among the agrarians
who so far have been the most fertile
soil of German discomfort.
In official circles today 1t YVES the
general opinion that President vii
sons note does more than leave the
road open to peace. 1t starts the Unit
ed States upon that road with all the
allied nations at her back.
Everywhere the conviction is grow
ing that the United States has sound
ed the rallying cry which every foe oI
| Germany may echo.

MEN EQUALLY GOOD
Those Left Behind at the Fort Are
Not inferior.


Fort Ethan Allen, Vt, Aug. 90. 1917
Editor OF the Banner:
The following editorial appeared in
the Brattleboro Reformer under the
date of August 2Sth
"The fact that SO out of Company
were transferred to, service in the
26th division of the United States
army is pretty good proof that the
bulk of the company was considered
fit for immediate service at the
front"
This editorial has caused the re-
naming men of the company to feel
that an injustice has been done. 1t
is the wish of Colonel Thomas that
such statements be met with prompt
and unequivocal refutation. With
out doubt the statement was made
without knowledge of the method Of
selection. The fact is those transfer
red were selected at random, without
regard to superiority over those left
behind, for the reason that all men
of the 1st Vermont were regarded as
fit for immediate service at the front.
1t is the opinion of the command
ing officer backed by that of General
Tillotson, that there are 676 more
men in this regiment just as fit, just
as well qualified, just as good soldiers
filed with just as much desire to do
their part and who have just as much
of the spirit of their state as those
transferred to the 26th division. Be
cause they have been left with their
own regiment of Vermonters should
not be taken against them
Very truly yours.

Captain Infantry U. S. A.

NEWS PRINT PRICE REDUCED
Wilson Sets 1.2 Cents for Supply
for "Official Bulletin"

Washington, Aug. 30.-In an order
which newspaper publishers say will
serve as an important precedent,
President Wilson has fixed a price of
2 IL cents on news print paper for
use in publishing the governments
daily official bulletin. The order was
issued by Secretary Baker at the
presidents direction under the ma.
tional defence act, which empowers
the government to commander sup
plies needed for war purposes. Il
was directed to the International Pa
per company, which had declined to
furnish news print at less than three
cents a pound.
Newspaper publishers today voiced
the hope II might open the way for
cheaper news print paper to publish.
ers generally. They called attention
to statements by the president that
the administrations price policy will
be one that provides the same prices
for the public as for the government.

ORIGIN OF TERM KHAKI
Used for Uniforms for More Than
Hall a Century.

1dlI q century
What is the origin of khaki? To
whom are we indebted for It?
It was first adopted In British In
dia, in lS4S, by Sir Harry Burnett
Lumsden, who had been asked to
equip a corps of guides to collect in.
telligence and to conduct an English
force on the northwestern frontier OF
India. The cloth used was n light
cotton drill, as suited the climate of
Hindustan, and took its name from a
native term, Khaki" which means in
the Urdu language, dusty" being de.
rived from khaki" or dust. Thus
the term applied to the color of the
cloth rather than to the material.
Though the dictionary tells us II Is
pronounced kaykee by the natives,
the English have given II to us as
kharkee, and this is the correct pro-
nunciation.
Having been approved. the use Of
the cloth spread from the guides to
others in the Indian army, and II was
worn in the Sepoy mutiny of 1857
by the English troops. In the Boer
war; lS99.1902, khaki was adopted In
the British service for an active serv.
ice uniform. and so worn by all Eng.
lish and colonial troops in Africa,
But as cotton was not warm enough
for the African highlanders, uniforms
OF the same kind were made of serge
and the term khaki thus included
wooden as well as cotton fabrics. Be
cause Il was well fitted for the eli
mate of Cuba and the Philippines, the
United States chose khaki for the
soldiers uniforms during the Span
