Our Bows.

This issue records the death of two
Orleans county boys who had entered the
service of their country. One, Mahlon
G. Dow, son of Mr.. and Mrs. !. b. Dow
of Albany. died at Camp Devens. Aver.
Mass. while the other, Otis Smithers,
son of Rev. and Mrs. w. s. Smithers of
Orleans. died at Fort oglethorpe, Ga.
Only last week we were called upon to
report the death of another son of the
county, Paul J.. Hartman, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. z. Hartman of Craftsbury, at
Camp Greene. Charlotte. y. C.. and few
weeks ago these columns told of the
death of Lynn Sanborn, son of Mrs. F.
w Hardy of Orleans, in France.
Thus within the short space of few
weeks has our county been called upon
TO sacrifice the lives OF four of its young
men. Stricken down at four such widely
separated places in so short a space of
time testifes anew to the fact that bat
tie itself is not the most deadly part Of
war. These mute figures also testify 10
the vital sacrifice that our friends and
neighbors are called upon TO make and
the anguish that must be borne before
this war is finished.

A CONTRAST IN FULFILLING PROM
ISES


The United States government, true
to its promise, reduced by 80 numbers
the ship commander who fired, by mis-
take, on an Italian submarine in the
Mediterranean, besides publishing the
name of the commander. This is in
marked contrast to the action of the
German government which, while the
United States was neutral nation.
promised to punish submarine commsn-
ders for sinking American ships without
warning and yet did nothing of the kind
so far as the United States government
or anybody else knows. That sort of
arrogant, unlawful and decetful atti-
tude is what has made Germany an out
cast in international society. The Unit
ed States is striving to live up to its
promises and to its role as decent
member of the international society.

One of the features of war work which
the y. NJ. c. A. is doing is to keep in
touch with the Americans who are held
prisoners in Germany, and in another
column of to-day's paper will be found
some OF the letters, sent by the boys now
in captivity in a strange land and fur
nished to the newspapers by the Y, NJ.
c. \. The letters. while they relate the
longing Of the Americans to be home
and among friends, do not reveal any
weakening OF spirit Indeed, they indi-
cate that the men accept their lot phil
osophically and are of stout heart. This
work which the Y. VI. c. A. is doing is
calculated TO give the association still
stronger hold on the affections of the
American people.

Secretary of War Baker declares that
the entente allies outnumber the leu.
tons in both men and guns on the west
ern front, and this despite the fact that
Germany has been moving troops con
stantly from the eastern to the western
front In order to arrive at this deduc-
tion he must have taken into considera
ton all the Italians under arms, large
numbers of whom probably have not
found place on the narrow front in the
northern part of their own country. He
must also have counted the American
soldiers, trained and unframed, who are
now in Europe. Even so, the statement

A Granite Industry Training School.

There is talk in Barre of establishing
school for training boys in the granite
industry. This will be run along the
same lines as the school in Springfield,
which permits boys to give half of their
time at shop work and half at school.
The possibilities for development along
industrial lines were never better and
it seems to us that our Vermont schools
should fall into line. We are very glad

LIBERTY BOND DRIVE YESTERDAY.
ONE HUNDRED WORKERS IN TWO HOURS
CANVASSED THE CITY, AND RESULTS

The noise Of steam whistle blowing
for five minutes at 0 o'clock yester-
day morning summoned the hundred
or more workers. men and women.
for the Liberty Loan drive in Hop
kinsville. The city had been divided
into four districts. under the able
management Of T. J. McReynolds.
and everything was ready for tkc
whirlwind campaign. The districts
were subdivided and four workers
were sent together. two men and two
women. while a fifth drove the car
in which the canvass was made. Be
fore noon the canvass had been com
pleted. although there were Of course
some absentees in every district who
have yet to be seen.
The city's quota Of the 5000. 900
set as the goal was $500, 900 and the
100000 was passed long before all
Of the reports came in.
When the last reports were in last
night Il was found that the total
for Hopkinville was above s225.oo0.
This does not include any subscrip-
tions at all from out Of town. II is
known that there are good fat sums
already subscribed in VARIOUS sections
Of the county but these will not be re-
ported till after the big drive in the
county Wednesday and Thursday.
Today the campaign continues in
Hopkinsville and the final figures

At the committee meeting Of the
Liberty Loan Committee held at
Headquarters last night, the Commit
teemen were greatly surprised and in
fact shocked TO learn in looking over
the list Of subscribers TO find that
the names of some Of the most prom
inent business men in the city were
missing.
In other instances they were dis
appointed to find the names Of men
who were fully able TO subscribe for
thousands Of dollars only subscribing
for few hundred dollars.
Committees were appointed TO wait
upon these men and tell them that
their subscriptions were wholly in
adequate and ask them 10 subscribe
for more bonds.
II was decided that every one who
did not subscribe be waited upon and
given a fair chance to show his 10y

Government.

HELP
AWAITED FOR
new PROGRAM
(By international News Serviee.)


Washington, April i5.-Important
official conferences await the return
TO Washington in the near future
Secretary Of War Baker, who has
been inspecting American forces in
Europe. Impressive estimates for
army increases which have been pre-
pared in advance Of his coming await
his APPROVAL. The minimum estimates
have already been prepared by the
War Department for presentation to
Congress. They provide for expan-
sion on scale that would give United
States army approximately 100000
men by the end Of 1918. The law
requires that requests for legislation
Of this kind shall have the approval
Of the Secretary Of War. The alb
sence Of Secretary Baker has delayed
this program. The official report Of
the Adjutant General on April ! re-
yealed that the army contained L.
.52s.92i then. II is estimated that
more than 100000 will be called be-
fore next year. The demand for man
power on the West front is so pres
sing that conservative estimates now
fix the total to be called this year at
500. 200. This means department
which provide supplies must have
their work increased approximately
100 per cent.
II is estimated now that the army
will number 5000. 900 by January
1919. Army transports facilities
are now able TO move 100000 e
France per month.
