SERGEANT FLETCHER.

It is with the deepest sorrow that his associates on The Bulletin receive confirmation Of .hc death of Sergeant Robert O. Flet her from wounds re- ceived at the front in France. Since early in the month. vien> letters be- gan to be rece.vel from these who had gone across vitl him, indications pointed very strongly to the fac. that Ie had made te supreme sacrifice, but in view Of tae fact that no in formation could be obtairsI i'm ouc h Washington hopes were entertained that there might have been some mis- ,aIe.

TREATY PROVISIONS.

How extensive will be the changes which will be made to the food pro auction bill. the piece of legislation which includes the rider making the country dry from the first of next July and stopping the making of beer after the first of May. remains to be seen. The measure is now in the hands of the conferees who have a number of things to consider before both houses will be in agreement.
 Not little attention is being given to the provision of the bill which calls for the stopping of the importa- ton of wines on the first of December of this year France, Italy, Spain and Portugal through their representatives have pointed out what an effect the stopping of this trade by this big wine producing countries will have, and it has been urged that in view of the economic treaties with these countries that foreign wines ought not to be denied entry as long as beer can be brewed here, or while it Is possible to obtain stronger drink.

BuLeARlA's PEACE APPEAL.

No real surprise is caused by the request which comes from the pre- mier of Bulgaria asking for an ar mistice as the preliminary to the ar engagements for peace. It remains of course to be seen that this is the sentiment of the Bulgarian govern ment but there have been evidences that Bulgaria has been desirous for some time of getting out of the war; and the losses which have been sus- tained as the result of the drive which the allies have made against their defenses, capturing important bases railroad lines and roads. and pocket ing one of the armies and seriously threatening Bulgaria, have simply served as new encouragement for the peace element. And it is not improb- able that a similar step can be antici- pated from Turkey before long.
 It is to be expected that Germany will bring every possible pressure to bear to prevent Bulgaria dropping out of the war, because it is recognized what an effect it will have upon Fur key and likewise upon Rumania where the queen has already an nounced that her people are ehafing under German domination and are anxious to get into the fighting again but from the appeal which has beer made it would appear that those al least who are anxious to end the wal in Bulgaria are of sufficient strengtl to overcome the German pressure botl from without as well as within.
 Bulgaria of course understands wha1 it faces. If it is war weary it car unquestionably secure peace upon tht terms of the entente nations, but tht dickerings of the Bulgars are thor. oughly understand for it is well re- membered how they hoodwinked tht allies at the time of their entranct into the war and good care will b: taken to see that nothing of the kint occurs in relation to peace arrange mpntS

Views of the Vigilantes
WHAT ARE WE GOING

TO DO ABOUT IT? By E. E. Hartman of the VieiIantes.
 This war will end some day. Some folks are already planning what they will do after it is over. Are we?
 I read the other day that the Ger man and Austrian prisoners now in Russia had resolved, almost to man, that they would not go back to their former homes when the war ended, but would emigrate to the United States and Canada. What will our twin coun- tries say to them?
 There is only one line of conduc ct that. We can follow with honor and common sense. We must say to the Hun in Europe in America, in Asia. anywhere he may be found:
 Get to work within the confines of your own countryi Build up and puri fy your land. Purge it of the filth that clogs it's spirit Wash it clean of the evil it has chung to so long. Refine it with years of sacrifice and earnest work for the right. Then, after the leaven has worked and passing de- cades have carried away the last grain of the old deviIish doctrines and be- iiefs, then it is possible that the na- tions, may grant, you amnesty and lei you go out through the world at large once more.

NoRWIcH's DUTY.

This is the day for the opening of the fourth Liberty loan drive, the big Sest thing of the kind which has ever been attempted. but we have been do- ing big things for a long time and at this particular period there can be nothing but victory. for success in this respect means victory in other directions and particularly on the bat tiefields
 Norwich's quota for this loan is 3D. 100000, a cool million over what it was asked 10 raise six months ago and which it handsomely oversubscribed. Such is by no means a small sum but t Is going to require the participation on the part of everybody. In fact it IS something which everyone should not only be anxious to get into but which everyone should be desirous of making the sacrifice which is required in order to reach the goal.
 With the period in which the loan is to be raised limited to 19 days it means that Norwich must make an average daily contribution of practi cally s11e.000. There is no question bug what it will be given the enthu- siastc start which it is entitled to There will be the same spirit mani fested here that there will be through out the country. but it must be re. membered that it cannot be confined tc one day. or that it can be allowed 10 lag in the remaining IS.

 THE CHAMPAGNE OFFENSIVE.

From all indications the drive which is being conducted by the French and Americans between Rheims and Yer Gun is for the purpose of getting in back of the German line running north rom the Laon region and cutting the communications to that front, while the British and French are at the same time pounding the Teutons from the west. Moving in concert from the south and west at the same time it is going to keep the enemy utilizing all it's available forces or else he is going to be forced to give ground. and such a giving, with the allies moving up the Meuge and the Aisne in over 7'he,mins numbers. means that it is only a question of time if the pressure can be continued when the whole line from Lens to Laon must be aban- doned.
 General Petain is thoroughly famil- far with the ground over which the Champagne offensive is being con- ducted. He is carrying out the same plan which was attempted three years ago although he is favored with larger forces on this occasion and that is of the utmost importance.
 With the continuance of the prog ress which has been made in the past two days, the taking of important German points, prisoners and mater ial and the encroachment upon the lines which are needed not only tc supply the German front but to get back the armies in case of a retreat the situation is steadily becoming more serious for the Teutons, and al the same time with the gains to the north of Verdun the allies are work. 1 ing up into a much more favorable
