We see no reason why theological
students, having been exempted from
the draft, should not be compelled to
contribute at least a portion of their
time to the welfare of their country by
working on the farms. While the
government has, of course, good
reasons for exempting these fellows
from military service, we have so far
been unable to figure out to our own
satisfaction the grounds upon which
such stand was taken,

Brazil has at last realized its mis-
take in permitting German interests
to dominate the country and has begun
the enforcement Of a plan designed to
uproot the encroachments of the
kaiser's subjects. An order has been
issued by the Brazilian government
to three large German banks in Rio
Janeiro to Immediately liquidate their
affairs and go out Of business. Other
South American countries in which
Germans have obtained footing
should lose no time in following the
example set by Brazil.

Professional ball players, with their
versatile accomplishments, should most
certainly enlist their services with
their country. Besides being familiar
with bases, they are used to flying
ball, unto the curves, have their bat
terry, are accustomed to ms and outs,
and know how to slide home in the
finish. Why not ?-Walker Pilot.
We heartily approve the suggestion
and would also include prize fighters,
wrestlers, theological students, the

In Eau Claire, Wis, German
named Rudolph Jones was fined 500
for saying that President Wilson
should be shot before the kaiser, and
that if: he is not shot before the war
is over he would be shot afterward.
Instead of fining this seditionist he
should have been sentenced to death.
If the judge who fined Jones is not
pro-German he at least imposed pro-
German penalty. Many instances Of
this sort, are, however, occurring
throughout the country which makes
the blood of the loyal American boil.

President Wilson has been urged
by Senator W. H. King Of Utah to
issue an immediate declaration of war
against Turkey and Bulgaria. The
senator claims that by declaring war
against these two nations they can be
separated from their German alliance
more quickly that they would i'm
mediately throw down their arms,
Whether it would work out this way or
not we do not know, but we believe
that war should be declared against
these beastly nations on general prin-
ciples and that they should be beaten
to a frazzle. They are stencil in the
nostrils of civilization.

The Official Bulletin, which is pub
lished daily at Washington under gov
ernment auspices, advises that Christ
mas gifts of the usual variety be dis
pensed with this year, and thus relieve
the heavy pressure on transportation
and the postal employees, and further
urges that the money wasted in use
less gifts be invested in government
war saving stamps or war charities.
The Bulletins advice is good and time

Now that it is known to certainty
that the kaiser has issued a command
to ignore the maritA1 laws of the
country in order to restore the falling
birth rate, Germany must as a conse-
quence eventually resolve itself into a
nation of bastards. It is an open
secret in Germany that the kaiser is
the father of half dozen illegitimate
children and that his scrofulitic prince
lings have even more to their credit.
Hence the lascivious beasts command
has caused no surprise to his subjects.

ANGELUS OR CURFEW7.

Some good Protestants seem to
labor under the hallucination that an
Angelus is some sort Of Papal bull,
Y It isn't. Webster defines Angelus as
follows: "a form Of devotion in which
three Ave Marias are repeated. It is
said morning, noon, and evening, at
the sound Of a bell. . 81
The discussion was called forth over
the adoption Of preamble to a resolu-
tion by the United States senate rec
ommending the President to call upon
people to engage in prayer at noon
daily. The word Angelus appeared
somewhere in the said preamble.
IF it will help matters any why not
substitute the word "curfew" for An
.gelus?
It was Napoleon, we believe, who is
credited with saying that the Lord
was always on the side Of the heaviest
artillery.
But if praying will confound the
Huns it matters little where or in
what form the prayers are made OF
Fby whom offered.

Usher, Fred Guderian, does not seem

enough sand to print what it believes
to be the truth and is afraid to come
out flat and stand for the party and
man it honestly believes to be the best

NEED TO DISCRIMINATE
Asks For Support of Only The Recog-

To the Editor Of The Register

To the Editor of The Register
Many of the people of this vicinity
have received a circular letter worded
in strong and stirring language, calling
upon all loyal Americans to take eco
nomiC steps to place our enemies at war
in penitential attitude for very long
time to come, after the close of the
war With the letter was enclosed a
pledge card by which signers promised
TO buy no goods Of German make for
twenty-five years after hostiities had
ended-whenever that may be- The
literature was sent out under the aus
pieces of some Guardianship" organiza-
ton. Doubtless many people all over
the country received and signed these
pledges on the impulse of the moment,
with the good intention of doing a pa
triotic thing. For these good intentions
they are to be commended; but a sec
ond thought might have suggested a
bit of caution and delay in signing up
praiseworthy though the work of this
organization may have seemed. Out
side of matrimony and life-insurance
twenty-five years is a very long time
for which to sign up.
The government, in satisfying COM
pleteness, has taken up the various
functions of protective guardianship of
its citizens. The great, loyal American
public, through its whole-hearted CO.
operation in all the activities of the war,
exercised through organizations whose
names are loved and respected house
hold terms today, has shown that the
hpp &c Of f.,

and only negligible few are Sinking
it. But a word of warning to impulsive
though patriotic people may not be out
OF place
Do not accept as legitimate any and
all manifestos of self-styled Guard
ians." Many of these guardians of the
people are serving-or are on the way
to sentences in federal prisons
for sundry indiscretions that have vio-
lated the code of our Uncle Samuel.
Until the returns are all in on SUCH may
we not act the wiser part to Confine
our support and money to the works
that we know are of good repute? Let
us keep our aid for intelligent, legiti-
mate work; there is plenty of it.
Another by-product of wars alarms
is the shower of appeals to families
which have members in the military
service These requests are well-worded,
and certainly we'll distributed but there
is often vagueness of terms of poor
ly defined purpose in the messages,
though generally they are consistent
and insistent-on one point, they all
need money. The sympathies of wor-
ried families are played upon to the
one end that cash be forwarded
No vast body of men has ever re-
ceived, in creature comforts, in moral
direction, or correct training for duty

and let the various unofficial, self-ap-
pointed Guardians prove themselves by
their works well worthy of our help be-
fore we accept them at their own rat

community kitchen. Miss Fuller gives
in detail the workings of kitchen, which
is under the direction of the Home De-
monstraton department OF Farm Bur
eaus. Just how is this kitchen to be
managed, where is it, and what will be
done there, these questions are the FIRST
which come to every woman's mind.
The kitchen is to be located near the
Addison County Cooperative Dairy
Companys milk plant, as steam may be
obtained here to lessen the time and
labor OF canning,
AT first this kitchen will be open two
DAYS each week, Tuesdays and Fridays,
so that people can send their produce,
Jars and rubbers to the kitchen in the
forenoon of either of these days, and
take it away canned the same day, or if
farmers wives send produce in with the
milk team, il can be taken home canned
the following morning by the same
team.
"By doing large quantities of produce
it is hoped that four cents per quart
will cover the cost of canning That
means that il woman sends in a bu-
shell OF string beans, and about twenty
quart jars, she can take home approx
mately twenty quarts of canned string
beans and pay the manager of the kit
chen only SO cents for the labor fuel,
etc, of canning same. Is there any
woman, who with a large quantity OF
produce to can in the very busiest sea-
son of the year, has the time and labor
necessary for canning same, when she
can have the work all done outside her
home with as small an output of actual
money.
another advantage of the commun-
ity canning kitchen is that the produce
will be canned when it is just in the
proper condition. This factor cannot be
overlooked in any canning work for the
quality of the canned product depends
TO a large extent upon the proper con
dition and development OF the raw pro-
duce
This kitchen will he under the eff
cient management Of Mrs. A. s., Harri-
man who is well known in Middlebury
and vicinity as a woman of great eXecu-
tive ability and of uneXcelled success
with all canning work. Last year in her
own home Mrs Hartman put up near
ly thousand quarts of fruits and vege-
tables for her family and other families
in the village.
Anyone and everyone in Middlebury
and nearby towns are welcome to bring
produce to the kitchen for canning, and
it is hoped that hundreds of busy
housewives will take advantage OF the
opportunity,

opening will be in next weeks paper,
