The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-11-07

The task Of collecting the more impor-
tant returns from the Vermont election
was conducted by the Associated Press
with surprising degree Of success. The
figures we're collected by single news
paper in each county 1.-THE work having
been assigned to The Times in Washing
ton county, and transmitted to the Bos-
ton office of the Associated Press, where
the compilation was finished. The coun-
ty returns were gathered from CORE
spondents in each. town by means Of the
telephone and were sent to Boston by
telegraph, several Of the newspapers be-
ing connected with direct wire to the
Boston office Of the Associated Press.
During the process Of compiling the re-
turns in Boston, the subscribers to the
Associated Press were given frequent
bulletins, after which the completed re-
turns were sent over the wire. So
smoothly did the whole operation work
that by II o'clock Of election night the
complete goyernorship vote from the 247
cities and towns Of Vermont was put on
the wire. This has not been accomplished
in Vermont during the past score of
years; and although The task was not
nearly SO complex as in state of large
voting strength, the Boston Office Of the
Associated Press is to be congratulated
on the building up Of an effective ma
.chinery Of collecting returns.

the Moses vote They did SO, and they
may have won, according to the returns
available at 1880 o'clock. But this does
not materially affect the main fact of
the campaign and the election-th four
square stand Of the Republicans Of New
Hampshire against the personal dict0tion
Of the president in matters electoral and
legislative.
There is ground for solid satisfaction
now, and good hope for the future, that
in this war year in the face Of an appeal
for support Of the president for the pc
Rod Of the war, at time when all the
usual arguments OF prosperity could be
used with effect by the administration,
and with an admittedly weak point in
the line, the Republicans of New Hamp-
shire were able to elect their governor,
two congressman, and one and perhaps
two United States senators, voting on
the manly issue Of representative govern
ment Manchester Union.

When Doctors Disapree.

1t may not be unreasonable to hope
that in compensation for the misery and
loss Of lives caused by the epidemic there
viii be substantial advance in knowl-
edge of the disease and in methods Of
prevention and cure Even the methods
that have failed win deserve careful
study for what they show in a negative
way. Most Of the material is still frag-
mentary, but from the reports Of news.
papers in different parts Of the country,
II would appear that widely different
systems have been used, none of which
has proved wholly satisfactory. The Sc
verify of the epidemic has, in fact, diff
fered so considerably in different places

iicuIties with which health authorities
have had TO contend.
But this leads us back to the reflection
that il was perhaps a mistake not to pre-
pare the nation in advance for a great
epidemic, educating people as to the seri-
oasness Of the disease and the means Of
reducing exposure 10 it, and organizing
the defenses of communities. AS a rule,
whatever has been done seems TO have
been done stage too late. Places of as
sembly have been closed only after the
disease had been so widely spread that
street or tenement might be more dan
gerous than church or theatre. Nor has
any system been observed. Fresh air has
been stressed in some places, the heating
of interiors in others, with the result
that the susceptible might be exposed
first TO overheating and then to chill,
with risk Of swift attack Of pneumonia,
Even without assured knowledge Of
how to deal with the epidemic, it should
/ have been possible by planning in season
to work out the most hopeful methods
with some consistency and thoroughness,
so as to get whatever benefit they pos
sessed. Irrational change from one sys-
TEN to another merely smudges the ex-
pertinent. For the hesitation and unoer.
tainty shown, concentration upon war
problems may have been to some extent
responsible, yet the absurd enough sug-
gestion that the world wide epidemic was
brought to our shores by U-boat is a
sufficient reminder that prompt and
energetic defense of the public health is
in itself a war problem. Let us hope that
the answer to this one may be found by
scientific research when the war is over.

Those reports Of mutiny on German
battleships at Kiel are the more credible
at this time because German seamen
have previously given indication of their
dissatisfaction with the continued war.
The German seamen are far less tract
able than their brothers on land, perhaps
because they have the better opportunity
to get outside Of Germany now and then
to catch the drift Of world thought.
They are at least brought into touch
with the men Of other nations, which
should give them a little broader horizon
and which undoubtedly does teach them
that German kultur is not the only thing
in the world.

Such fantastic statement as that by
Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,, to the
effect that it was possible that an armi-
stice with Germany was declared three
days before Senator Weeks made the
statement early this week, probably does
not need investigation. 1t seems hardly
likely that news OF world events of tire.

because of the effect the news would
have on some little political squabbles in
the United States.

American troops in the
Luneville sector have occu-
pied and are holding enemy
trenches northeast Of Badon-
villers, which they forced the
Germans to abandon through
recent raids and concentrted
artillery fire.
The trenches have been
consolidated with ours.
This, through a small for
ward movement, marks the
first permanent advance by
the American army in France
and the consolidation of the
trenches enables the Ameri-
cans and French to operate
from higher ground than
heretofore.
The Germans made only
feeble efforts to retake the
positions, and each time were
repulsed.
