From France to the White House.

Major Rutledge Smith in his address
at the war conference in Montpelier said
that the boys who come back from
France viii be the ones who will run the
nation for many years, and he referred
to what the soldiers of both armies did
after the close of the Civil ward. Grard
who writes a remarkably interesting col
umn in the Philadelphia Ledger, says
that unless our voters upset all prece.
dents, some soldier will come home from
France president of the United States.
Napoleon said every soldier carried in
his knapsack the baton OF a marshal of
France. Every American war carried in
its portfolio at least one soldier presi.

The Germans had notion that once
they had the Russians out of control OF
the grand alliance they could take con-
troll themselves by sheer brute force.
They cant do it, They may Kill, burn,
starve and desecrate to their hearts
content, but this gives them no cakes

above all things is liberty. Disillusioned
by the brutality of their conquerors,

Another call from the government for
200 more young men of Vermont TO GO
to Fort Slocum, \. Y, the call coming
between the May and June calls of the
regular draft is calculated to impress us
seriously with the fact that the United
States is at war and at war in deadly
earnest. The fact that l6l young men
are to be taken out of Washington coun-
ty alone by the May call was also con.
vincing reminder that war is on. These
numerous demands on the part Of the

One benefit of having American troops
on the battlefront where their activities
will come within the scope of the British
and French official statements is that
we shall have less of the inconsequential
in the news from the front. Some of
the reports that came from the American
front in the days when the United States
troops were in preliminary training did
not do credit TO one of the greatest ma
tions of the world. In fact, the stories
sent out were decidedly puerile.

When the Presidents Away

Who's who when the president is out of the
country?
This question is still being debated, although
for all practical intents and purposes the dis
cusson is purely academic and theoretical.
The president is out of the country, the vice
president has not taken over the reins of power,
the wheels of government continue to revolve,
everything is going on just the same or at least
with no more disturbance, than before
By going back over the records, it is dis
closed that this question in modified form has
been up before; that is to say, the question who
decides when the vice president is to act as
president seems to have been answered. On
the death of William Henry Harrison the cabi-
net sought to declare that the vice president
could be nothing more than an acting president,
but Mr.. Tyler settled it for himself and the
cabinet had to acquiesce. Congress took no
exception. That was case, however where
the elected president had died and no one else
could assert claim. Here the two houses of
congress might possibly try to recognize the
vice president as acting president, but how far
could they get when the vice president refuses
to act?
So while learned constitutional lawyers argue
pro and con and con lecture what dire things
might happen if certain other things should
happen, we have smashed all precedents and
accepted the proposition that the physical pres
ence of the chief executive within the bounda-
ries of the country is not required by the con-
stituton any more than is his constant presence
at the seat of government.

For two days the tracks have been idle, while
the hundreds of thousands who customariy

chance conveyance they may obtain. Business
of all kinds suffers and community life is dis
arranged, while the disputants remain apart and
decline to even attempt composition of their
differences.
Such conditions cannot be tolerated in

the company makes no effort to start cars, then
the duty devolves on the mayor to see that
