Ten days ia an extremely short time

of the regiment and of the companies OF
the proposed Vermont volunteer militia
regiment, and there will have to be Sc
rious purpose on the part of those who
attend the officers school at Mortified if
any considerable amount of good is TO be
accomplished during the stay there.
However, it is probable that most, if not
all, of the men who attend the school
will have had some previous military ex-
perience so that they can readily fall
into the ways of the training school and
be prepared TO brush up their knowledge
of military science and tactics in com
paratively short time. The purpose of
the training camp is good, and the hold
ing of it is wise action.

General Haig, commander of the Brit
ish forces on the western war front, gives
generous public recognition to the serv-
ices performed by General Plumer in the
great operations at Messines, in which
the German lines were first blown up
and then oyerr,in for considerable dis
tance. 1t is apparent from this that the
British commander in chief and his sub
ordinates, one of them at least, are work
ing in close coordination and that they
are willing to share the credit for sue
cessful operations.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
The Act of a Barre Boy.

Editor, Barre Daily Times, Dear Sir
| am a Montpelier boy and am writing
this to let you know that the Vermont
boys are in the game.
William j. Gibson, a well known Barre
lad, showed the stuff he was made OF TO-
day, when, as he was working over the
side of the ship, painting. the boy on
the scaffold with him fell into the water,
and, being unable to swim, would have
drowned but for Gibson, who, seeing the
way things were, Immediately leaped
into the water and rescued him at the
peril of his own life. / think Gibson will
be awarded lifesaver's medal
Perhaps you will see fit to put an
item in your paper about the affair, as
really think his friends ought to be made
aware of the stuff be is made Of
Thanking you in advance for your at
tention, | remain,
Yours truly,

millions OF the poorer people of the
great world metropolis. BY no stretch
OF the Imagination can those people be
declared as participants in the war only
as they offer the services of father,
brother or son TO the service of Great
Britain. They have no Notifications.
They are protected from the elements
merely by the walls OF cheaply built
tenement buildings through which the
falling bombs penetrate as a stone pene-
trates piece of paper. There may be
munitions plants operating somewhere in
London, but the section is essentially
the abiding place of the more unfortu.
nate people of the great city. This, then,
is the "fort" to which the German Off
eial statement so mendaciously referred
The fort" was nothing but the homes
of the poor people, the schoolhouses in
which the little children were gathered,
the stores which furnish the supplies to
the civilian population, the public build
ings which go with every city of large
size. SO the Germans attacked this

civilian London to the extent of 500 PEG.
pie, mostly women and children. They
devastated many homes; they destroyed
stores which fed the populace; they
crushed in schoolhouse and with it took
the lives of dozen innocent children.
A great victory forsoothi Comparable
to the dastardly sinking of the Lusita
mia, only it did not accomplish any mill
tary purpose, whereas the sinking of
the Lusitania did destroy some war sup
plies. There's grand day of reckoning
for the German government, a govern
ment which impiously strives to bring
God into partnership with itself in ter
ribly nefarious work.

"Shirkers" rather than "slackers"
seems to be the more appropriate term
for Americans who are trying TO evade
service in behalf of their country. These
men are trying to shirk the responsible
ity onto the shoulders of their more pa
triotic and willing fellows; they are en-
deavoring to "let George do it" instead
of doing it themselves; they are unwill-
ing to share the responsibilities of up
holding their government. Strikers,
then, seems to be about the mildest APP
pellation which can be attached to them.

The United States consul at Queens
town, Wesley Frost, returns to the Unit
ed States with story confirming every
thing which James W. Gerard had to
say about German frightfulness, only
FTost's version of the outrage comes
from near vision of the conditions from
the outside of Germany, while Gerard's
was from knowledge gained inside of
Germany. Consul Frost has found it his
terrible duty to recount for the benefit of
his home government the sea tragedies
caused through the barbarous policy
adopted by the Prussian government,
and the impression has become indelibly
stamped in his mind that ''no civilized
government would have resorted to such
methods On top of his statement is
the assertion of President Wilson, found
ed on mature contemplation and accur-
ate information, that Germany is OBJ
sessed by the idea of Imperialism and ag
grandizement and viii stop short of
nothing to gain that end. Step by step,
the indictment against the government
at Berlin is piling up for the jury Of
the world to take under advisement when
the proper time comes.

KILLING THE BABIES.

As If striving to justify their killing
of babies and women in the air attack
on East London on June 10, the official
report sent out from Berlin refers to
the airplane attack on Fort London, -

sion that they were attacking military

The people of Greece have not yet been

But within the last decade the invcstiga
tons of modern explorers and the search

us this king, Amcnhotcp w. who took the

the direction of Mr. n. de G. Davies. have at
last revelacd the inner history and motives Of
Akhen-ateu's reign
