While there are undoubtedly many
drawbacks to the continued rainy season
which has been upon the people of this
section of the country for long time,
there is at least one striking benefit;
and that is, the tendency to fill up the
water supplies of the country districts
for the winter. The wells cisterns,
springs and other reservoirs of water
must have been Teplenished after the
most approved fashion of the one who
wishes for fall rains and never is salts
fled unless there is long period Of wet
weather. Each fall, one is apt to hear
complaints that the winter is coming on
without the needed supply of water be-
ing furnished by nature; and there is q
great wall of discomfort. Not so this
year. Nature has been furnishing us
with water and with a most free hand
indeed In fact, there is a surfeit of
water, according to the viewpoint of the
ordinary human being; the wells, els
terms, springs, brooks, rivers, ponds, etc,
are well up to their high water mark Of
the fall season and even flooded in some
instances. So we mortals cannot indulge
in our usual walls along that line.

was announced in Mondays paper.
Clement states that he does so in order
to relieve the Republican state commit
tee from any embarrassment which
might come to it through the fact that
the party's candidate for governor was
the head of the league inasmuch as the
Republican party of Vermont is itself
considerably divided on the question of
local option. This action rather neatly
meets the position publicly announced
by DR.. Mayo, the Democratic candidate,
who stated himself in favor of the ratif-
cation of the prohibition amendment.
While not in the least converted to the
principle of prohibition, Clement is per
fectly willing to subordinate his personal
views, knowing, no doubt, that his posi-
ton would have little bearing on the
question anyway when it comes before
the Vermont Legislature. With this an
nouncement of his, the campaign between
Clement and Mayo assumes unusual

LIE TURKS aExpEcTEp0 1T. moo

THE TURKS EXPECTED" IT, TOO.
Taking leaf out Of the German book,
the writer of the Turkish official com
munications anent the battles now rag
ing in Palestine attempts to give solace
to the people of Turkey, as well as to
assuage the wrath of the kaiser of Ger
many, by asserting with real Germanic
glibness that the attack Of the allies
from the Mediterranean sea to the Jor-
dan river was expected at Just about the
precise moment that it was delivered and
at practically the identical place, or
words to that effect. Indeed, one is led
to believe that the Turks and their Ger
man allies were waiting supinely for the
British and Arabs to come up and hit
them tremendous blow, which, by the
way, they did. Such blow it was that
Turkish power in Palestine is seriously
threatened, if not entirely wiped out.
Two armies were practically wiped out
in the melee, and the conquerors are
overrunning the territory west of the
Jordan river almost unmolested. De-
feats apparently do not count in the
Turkish category of war results; the
Turks, like their masters and mentors,
can be walloped to the limit of endur-
ance, decimated to the veriest skeleton
of their military formations, sent Keeling
back toward the center of their govern
menti but so long as they can claim that
they were not surprised by the adver-
sary's blow they consider themselves
rather well off. They delude themselves
like the ostrich which buries its head in
the sand and considers himself complete
ly concealed So the Turks attempt to
cover up their real discontinue by as
sorting that they knew the allied attack
was coming. They have learned their
lesson well from Berlin.

That Field Marshal Foch has been able
to divert large elements from both his
British and his French forces in order to
carry out the great campaigns now I'M
der way in Palestine and Macedonia is
eloquent tribute to the United States,
whose forces have been pouring into
France at such a rate as to make it pos
sible for British and French elements to
be sent to far away points to round up
the allies of Germany Without these
American reinforeements in France, Foch
would have needed all his other strength
to meet the tremendous blow which the
Germans were able to bring to bear dur
ing the summer, with the result that
Bulgaria and Turkey could easily have
held in check the forces that were ar
rayed against them. While there is
nothing to indicate such fact, it is
probably true that many good British
and French troops who were fighting in
France not so very long ago are now in
Palestine and Macedonia. The power
and the drive of these twin ofensives
seem to bear out the belief that the allies
have been considerably reinforced on
those fronts

Editor of The Times: Notice has been

England division that the federal gov
eminent has asked the American Red
Cross to help in the nationwide cam
paign to conserve such articles as are
essential to the successful prosecution of
the war. The Red Cross is performing
this service gratuitously, and simply to
conserve and render available materials
really needed by the government. 1t is a
means of winning the war, just as the
conservation of food has been a means
of winning the war, although, of course,
the appeal in case of these articles is
not so dramatic as in the case of food.

CHINESE WANT COOPERATION.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 26.-Co-opera-
ton of American and Japanese bust
ness men with those of China in the
development of the vast natural re-
sources Of China, was urged by Reizo
Yamashima, vice president of the
Toxic chamber of m and
head of the Japanese commercial
mission, when he was here recently.
A better monetary system should
be developed in China before any con-
siderable investments are made there,
Yamashima said. There is a move
ment on loot in China. Yamashima
said, to establish the gold standard Of
currency in place of the silver stand
ard now in use. He said that promi-
nent business men of China, who were
looking forward to a great increase
in their foreign trade, were we'll ad-
vised that this could not take place
unless the monetary system of the
country was changed. They felt that
China must be placed upon the same
basis as the rest of the world. With
this movement, Y~amashima said. the
Japanese business men are in hearty
accord. He had been authorized by
the chambers Of commerce of Japan,
he said, to suggest to the American
them to the American business men,
to also offer their good offices to
China in order to assist her in better
ing her monetary conditions.
Now is the advantageous time for
China to make this change, as silver
now commands such a high price in

shima. The change could be made
now without disturbing conditions in
China, and, in fact, to the very great
advantage Of China

German Food Expert
Advances Plans To
Relieve Shortage

London, Nov. 26.-(British Wireless
Service .)-The Cologne Gazette of
November 16 published an article un-
der the caption, "Armistice and the
Food Supply" written by a specialist
named O~etelshofen, who argued that
there could be no question OF a short
age of food in Germany, but that it
was urgently necessary to reduce ra-
lions.
The writer maintained that Ger
many could deal with the ~transporta-
ton problem by re-adjustments, re-
ducing the transport of potatoes and
vegetables and confning the trans
port facilities to foods Of great nutri-
tive value in proportion to their bulk.
He advocated the killing of pigs in
particular, the abolition of the ration
ing Of sugar and the restriction of

railway consignments to distances of
eel $50 miles to consignments of
corn, sugar, live cattle, meats, fats,
poultry, eggs and cheese.
Dealing with the harvest, Oetels-
hoffen estimated the bread-corn har-
vest, apart from barley and oats, at
not less than $4,000, 900 tor and the
potato harvest at about 47,500,000
TONS.
Even after the armistice," the
writer said, there is abundance Of
food in Germany for feeding the
population if we reduce the consump-
ton by animals by reducing the
stocks of cattle. 1t is to be expected
that food prices will soon fall sharp
ly. The public "a contribute to this
end if it will avoid boarding OF sup
plies. and wait for cheaper prices"
