A REAL NECESSITY

Circumstances force President Thomas
of Middlebury College to the fore this
week in an appeal for $4,000 for the
College. In the midst of the war, with
its more numerous appeals than the
country has ever known, it would seem
at first hand like an inopportune
moment to ask for such large sum,
but conditions are such that DR..
Thomas is forced to ask now or never.
An anonymous friend of the College
announced last June that he would give
500, 600 toward the enlargement OF the
present endowment fund, but attached
to his gift the condition that the College
would raise 5000, 600 before July |, 1918.
That date is only nine months away,
and if the College is to take advantage
of the gre attest opportunity it has ever
had, it means that President Thomas
will have to raise over $50, 600 every
month between now and July LIST.
On the face of it, it looks like an utter
impossiblity, but DR.. Thomas, con-
vinced of the necessity of maintaining
the standards of the College, notwlth-
standing the drain of war, is determined
and is likely to succeed where the less
courageous leader might falter.
In his first appeal to the alumni
President Thomas makes clear that he
does not want money, which anyone
ought to contribute to the support OF
the nation, but urges combina-
ton of loyalty both to the flag and to
the college and has himself set an eX-
ample by turning the Liberty Bonds he
has purchased over to the Endow-
ment Fund
The Register earnestly hopes and
confidently expects that DR.. Thomas
will succeed in his great task In max
ing the world safe for democracy, it
would be serious blight on our civil
cation if we failed to keep our higher
institutions of learning safe for educa-
ton. There are doubtless some small
institutions that will receive permanent
and disasterous set-backs as result Of
the. war burdens, and Middlebury may
fall into that class if there is not loyal
support of her ideals. To our mind
those ideals are of particularly great
import since they concern the education,
not so much of the rich mans son, as
of the rank and file of the aspiring youth
from our own homes. Nothing should
be left undone to assure for the future
at least as fine record as "Old MIDI"
has eniOYed in the past.

EVERY MAN STOOD UP

The Register hopes to see the men
who have gone to war more periodically
supported by the soldier material which
is left at home. There is no knowing to
what lengths this conflict will carry US,
if we are to see it through. Having be-
gun the war in almost universal ignor-
ance of what it means to fight we are
already under too great a handicap to
take any chance with the immediate
future. 1t may be matter of only a
short time before another great call
sweeps over the country for soldier
material, and then another and another.
If these calls come we should be better
prepared. There is no place where this
preparation can be better accomplished
than in our colleges where men are
grouped together, all of nearly uniform
age and type, and where there is GER
tain amount of time and need for
physical training.
The Register is pleased to hear from
College Hill that the men students still
left at Old MIDI are really aching to
get some military training with their
other work. Charles Danolds, who was
Captain of the company formed here
last spring, addressed his comrades on
the subject in Chapel last Tuesday
morning, and when he asked how
many men were in favor of renewing
military training, every man in the
Chapel stood up.

We were not living in the common
place days, History which we may
have considered a closed book when we
left school or college, il having chap
tiers Of greater consequence written in
II every day. Beside the ambition Of
the German Kaiser, foI world conquest
those Of julius Caesar and Hannibal
were but child play
We could thank God, he declared, for
the British Navy. Without oyerstep-
ping the facts one bit, there was album
dant evidence at Washington that the
Kaiser's ambition for world conquest
was directly focused on America. While
this land of the free had for years well
coined with open arms the immigrants
from Europe 1t was hoped that those
who came under the folds of our flag
only came to kiss it, Experience had
shown, however, that there were those
who had come to feed their bellies an
left their hearts at home.
Admitting that he was scattering, and
touching only the high points Of some
phases Of the war which appealed 10 him,
he dwelt effectively for II time on the
haDlts OF extravaganza which our pros
perty had begotten among US, There
were little girls tripping their way to
school to-day said he, with rs much
money on their back as their motAers
spent for their wedding trousseau, Con-
gresham Greene said that even after
six months Of war we found many of
our boys drilling with wooden rifles and
artillery. THANK God" he said again,
"for the British Navy, Had it not been
for it We should have witnessed in our
land the same horrors of war that we
read Of in Europe
tits impossible in a brief space to
adequately review Congressman
Greene's eloquence, and it is only to be
regretted that all of Addison County

"Why is IT," asks Neighbor johnson
of Randolph, that whenever anything
grotesQue or absurd, anything calculated
to raise a guiTaw, is uncovered, It is
ascribed to Vermont He refers to
the false report that man with no
fingers on one hand had been sent 10 the
national army from Vermont and IS
very much irritated because Vermont is
so often made 1.-THE goat, ~
If there is any conspiracy atoot to
make Vermont the butt of all the Jokes,
such irritation as some of our state
papers have shown is the very cause
Of il. The small boy doesn't find It half
so much fun to SNOWFALL the man who
don I mind as they do TO pepper the
plug hat of some CT bbed old fellow
who gets very much excited about it,
Vermont's Place in the galaxy OF
states is not to be moved one bit by any
false reports of her record so let us not
fret our gizzard about them.
We read in this mornings dispatches
that the first man wounded in action
since the Americans took position in
the French trenches this week, is Il
Vermonter Lieut. De We're II. Harden
of Burlington. Why is it, let Neighbor
johnson ask, that when anything cal
cuated to test the mettle of our soldiers
is tried, and anything more or less
heroic recorded, il is not by any means
a rare circumstance to ascribe it to
a Vermonter

Prisoners of War

Six million men are in European
prison camps.
You cannot imagine six million
men. Six million men, hand in hand,
would form an unbroken line from
Chicago to St. Louis. another line
from Kansas City to Denver, still
another from Cincinnati to Jackson
vile, Florida, fourth from Mime
apolis to Galveston, Texas, plus
fifth from Boston to Portland, Ore
gon. This is making allowance for
one million of them being mere bcyy
7oA0 lax maN'S re0h!
If you will insist upon trying to
imagine six million prisoners of war
accept this suggestion. Begin
with a mental picture of the largest
crowd you ever saw under roof.
Imagine that this crowd had not
come there for three-hour conven-
ton, but had been there for months
Imagine that crowd-that biggest
crowd you ever saw unshaven, rag
ged, shivering, lousy, baretooted.
Imagine it away from home in an
enemy's country, Imagine a third
of that crowd sick, another third
manned, and all suffering with cold,
hunger, discomfort. Without linen
soap, towels, books, pencils, paper,
games. Now multiply that biggest
crowd you ever saw, which, in i'm
agination you have denuded of every
thing humanity desirable, by ten.
And when the awfulness of the
thing has sickened your soul, multi
ply that conglomeration of wretched-
ness by five. Is this not the most
heart breaking spectacle ever set
before a weary and wounded world?
Well; multiply all that by ten again;
ami Men do something abOM il?
