Another Condemnation

| The vote of the Argentine Senate to
break off relations with Germany is the
natural sequel to disclosures of what the
kaiser's representative at Buenos Aires
was doing. Assuring Argentina of his
governments intention to treat mer-
chant vessels of the republic with some
regard to their rights, he was advising
the use of submarines to obliterate them
and their crews so that their fate might
remain mystery. Small wonder that
Argentine senators were not inclined to
accept German explanations and apollo
gies as adequate.
Thus Argentina seems destined to pass
into the group of nations that cannot
trust the imperial government of Ger
many. Pan-German newspapers and
even some of the more liberal organs of
German opinion, influenced no doubt
from Potsdam, have sought to create
the impression that the German people
resent what they call President Wilson's
attempt to create discord in Germany.
All the president did was to notify Pope
Benedict that the German imperial gov
eminent had conducted itself in such a
manner as to deprive it of standing
among honorable bodies and so had pre-
cluded any hope that it would be re-
ceived in a conference over peace terms.
OF what avail, in other words, to enter
into negotiations with men who have
shown that their plighted troth means
nothingi
Argentina has apparently come to the
conclusion that there is no sense in
maintaining relations with a govern
ment whose word cannot be trusted
Thus Germany, whose rulers have count
ed as of no value the moral principles
which elsewhere are deemed vital finds
itself cast out by one more power whose
friendship il sought. TO cultivate an
lshmaelite that can know no peace until
it shall disavow the leadership which
keeps it under suspicion and condemna-

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Kreisler the Untiring.

One of the most fascinating figures ir
! the world of music to-day is Fritz Kreis.
Ter, who is to appear with Reinhod War
Itch, the ld-famous Russian baritone
at city hal auditorium, Montpelier. on
Wednesday evening, Sept. 26, playing his
piano Accomplishments and appearing,
too, in the role of piano soloist. The re-
cital that these two artists give, with
kreisler at the piano, have given unal-
loyed delight TO hundreds of thousands
of admirers all over the country.
Few artists of any time so hold the ad.
miring affection of the public. His at
tractive personality, his modesty of de-
meanor, his artistic sincerity, are alike
as rare as they are notable
As man he has none of the eccentri-
cities of genius. He is modest, lovabe, a
great-hearted friend, and keen for a Joke
at all times An artist, he is serious and
sincere. A friend, he is gay and compan-
ionable always, and the soul of courtesy.
He is not fragile artist who must
be treated as though wound up in cotton
wool in order that he may not break.
All he demands is that he be kept busy.
1t he can appear seven times a week, he
is all the happier, for he says that his
nerves begin to hurt only when he is "
ing idle. The most awful railway Jumps
have no terror for him. A combination
of automobile. steamboat and railway TO
make a certain date affects him as the
trumpet sounding at the post affects a
race horse. but let him have three or
four days idle and he begins nope

and cruelty is abroad in the world, so
strong so skilled and so armed that
he menaces not only the peace and Sc.
curity of Europe, but threatens to de.
stroy free government everywhere. Make
yourselves fit and ready to resist him.
Give EN- hell, boys, by keeping your
selves strong and clean and efficient, so

Decline of Veterans.

When Civil war veterans gather in re

three score years and ten mark This
means that they are going rapidly to-
ward the sunset vista of life We owe
the men with the bronze buttons every
possible honor we can pay them. The
years in which we can render homage
to them are few. 1t is but a compare
lively short time ago when the Windham

How seamen Hate Germany.

End when il may, the war will leave
behind it hstreds that cannot soon sub.
side. For some crimes there can be no
conformation, and by the German govern
ment, its military forces and its subma-
rine fleet such crimes have been commit
ted. The atrocities in Belgium and Ser
bia, in the North sea and the Atlantic,
are felt by the friends OF those who suf-
fered to be as unforgivable as they are
irreparable. The better part of the civil
lied world. while seeing these things with
horror and turning from them with
loathing, may try TO repress hatred OF
the perpetrators, but there are great
classes and whole peoples who win hate
Germany, at least as long as their pres
emit members live.
One worldwide band of workers, the
sesfaring men, are forever the enemies
of German militarism When America
stood forth as champion of the freedom
Of the seas, she did not act only in her
own interest, but for the protection of
the rights and lives of all who 90 down
TO the sea in ships The seamen have
suffered the most from the murderous
submarine attacks. We may never know
how many Of all nations have gone down
with ships destroyed, but it appears from
an admiralty report that from the begin
ming of the war up TO June 30, 1917, the
number of lives lost on British merchant
vessels was a74S, of whom 1920 were
officers and seamen, and 3,s2S were pas
sengers. Note the proportions. II is the
regular seafaring workers from whom
the larger number of victims have been
taken.
Organized labor in the worlds shipping
does not forget. AT the instance of the
British National Seamen's and Firemen's
union, an important conference Of allied
and neutral seafaring men has Just been
held in London. Besides representatives
Of unions in the United Kingdom, there !
were delegates from organizations in |
France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Russia |
and Scandinavia. There was nothing |
less than a fury of Indignation through |
out the assembly with respect to German
submarine warfare The one Russian |
of the Belgian Prince was pres
INT to tell how, after the destruction of |
The ship without warning 200 miles from
.he Irish coast, the crew, who had taken
20 the boats, were ordered on board the
submarine, the lifeboats were smashed
With axes, the mems lifebelts were taken
IF and carried below, and the vessel sud
lenly submerged, drowning 80 men.
Many of the sailors delegates declared
hat after the war no German sailor
you'd be allowed to enter their ships.
Her submarine methods have earned for
Germany hatred whose depth she can
lot fathom and whose duration may be
'reater than that of her empire. Boston

THE WOLF REVEALED.

When Count j. H. Bernstorff, exam
bassador extraordinary and plentipoten
tary to the United States from the i'm
perial government of Germany, took pas
sage at New York after the United
States had severed relations with the
country with which we are now at war

wishers who thought the man had been
basely treated during the latter years OF
his stay in the United States The flow
ers were to be an expression of good will
pm the part of some of the American
people who saw in Won Bernstorff a man
who had used all honorable means at his
disposal to prevent the breaking out of
war between the nation which he repre-
scented and the nation for which he pro
fessed to have so much consideration
and the nation which he could almost
claim as his own by reason of having
married an American woman. Those
friends and well-wishers wanted the man
to leave the country with good taste
In his mouth, so to speak. They wanted
him to know that the people of the Unit
ed States were pleasant sort of people,
hmiable and striving to please SO they
sent the flowers to him; at least it is
the supposition that they were the do
nors. Almost simultaneously a great
metropolitan newspaper was striving to
tell its readers how Won Bernstorff was
0 much-abused gentleman, that he was
the soul of honor and that the suspicious
directed at him were entirely baseless,
that he had no part in the effort to dis
rupt this nation in the effort to keep it
out Of the war with his beloved father
land, that, in short, he was a man in
whom we as a childlike nation should
place our trust implicitly Won Bern
ttorff, the readers Of that newspaper
were told, was doing all that he could
to prevent the outbreak Of war between
the United States and Germany
How much he was doing TO prevent
that war has Just been revealed. But
