The frequent aerial observations being
made by the Germans over the American
sector ON the Lorraine front may mean
merely that the Germans are curious to
know just how many Americans there
are on the front o. it may mean that the
American sector has been selected as the
place for great German drive in the
hope of finally getting to Paris after be-
ing baked for three and one half years.
There is grave need of steadfastness on
the part of Pershings troops
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-02-13

The problem for the United States is
TO get her troops TO the western front as
fast as Germany can withdraw her forces
from the Russian to the western front
Admittedly, the United States is ter
ribly Handicapped in this race but we
have a stout heart, knowing full well
that we have three valiant allies to hold
the line until the United States can bring
up reasonable amount to strength.
Great Britain, France and Italy, as also
little Belgium, are standing firmly even
after years of terrible suffering and sac
rifice; and their courage seems to be as
strong as ever The final collapse of the
Russian pretense Of war may be dis
appointing and somewhat discouraging
but il is a depression that can be over
come because the event was discounted
some months ago and the allies were
preparing for just such contingency.

The decision of President Wilson to
call into council the leading men OF both
the Democratic and the Republican par.
ties in order to fashion the best measures
for participation of the United States in
the war will be sincerely applauded all
over the country In this way, too, he
may be able TO smooth over some of the
difficulties, which he is encomtering in
putting through his war program.

There is grave doubt whether General
Perslang commander of the American
forces in France, ever made the state
ment that "If the French line holds until
April and May ], my prediction is that
nothing can stop the allies from break
ing through the German lines and bring
ing the kaiser to his knees" In the first
place it would be confession that the
French lines were in very shaky condi-
ton and were susceptible to being pierced
by the German war machine; and, in the
second place, Pershing is not so loqua-
cious as to indulge in such an extravagant
expenditure of words. Probably there
will be some sort of denial from Gen
eraI Pershing that he ever made such
statement but denial ought not TO be
necessary.

Announcement that Won Hcrtling, the
German chancellor, is preparing to reply
to President Wilson in short time is an
indication that the force of public opin-
ion is forcing the German imperial gov
eminent TO the conclusion that peace is
desirable from the German standpoint.
incidentally, we are shown that the i'm
perial government itself, having gotten a
taste of peace on the eastern border, is
not wholly averse to the requirement of
a greater amount OF it in much more
hazardous place.

1t would have been more timely per,
haps if the government expert on fuel
saving had issued his instructions last
October instead of during the present
month of February as to the manner in
which 20.000000 tons of coal could be
saved annually in the homes of the Unit
ed States. The ordinary householder is
now counting the weeks until such time
as the weather permits complete shut
down of the heating plants; the brumt OF
the shoveling already has been done.
Possibly the instructions now being dis
tributed may help toward fuel eonserya-
ton another year.

Mir. C. H.

The post CTS are being distributed around town and Mir. Hall will be glad to explain the honor emblem system to anyone who wishes to be informed about it. The following telegram from the governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco was received by Mr. Hall yesterday:

 "The Fourth Liberty Loan is six billion dollars, maturing fifteenth of October, 1888, under terms of treas ury department circular No. 121, which exempts the interest on not to exceed $3O,O00 of Fourth Loan bonds, owned by any one holder from graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes and excess porfits and war profits taxes.

TRIP |S MADE
 FROM 43-M|LE
 IN SMALL BOAT

Grant Allan, of the engineering staff stationed at Camp 36S, and Ole Boen, proprietor of the 43-mile roadhouse, arrived in town on the train coming in last night. Grant has been called to the colors by the local board at Kalama, Wash, and Ole Boen, who is a Norwegian and has only taken out his first papers, is in town for the express purpose of volunteering his services and get ting away with the thrid draft quota if possible.
 The boys left the roadhouse at 43-mile, where they were joined by J. A. Heaney, about g o'clock yes terday morning in small boat about 12 feet long, and floating down the swift waters of the Ne mana river, made the camp at 35- mile in an hour and a half from the time of leaving. After a delay of about half an hour at this camp, they resumed their journey and made another brief stop for lunch at the 35-mile roadhouse, which is now closed, and landed finally at Camp g, on the old wagon trail, about ? o'clock in the afternoon. The boat was put into winter quart CTS here and the party crossed over to the D line and caught the train for town.
 The journey down the little known channels of the Nenana river was made in safety, the only excitement occurring on the rifles below the confluence of Moose creek with the Nenana. At this point the boat was buffeted by the contending currents for while and shipped considerable water and kept the boys bailine hard to keep her afloat.
 While nearing the camp at 35. mile their craft grazed a huge partly submerged boulder which tilted hel at an awkward angle, but she soor righted herself and carried the party safely on down. Apart from these little incidents, the journey was very enjoyable.

IRACKLAy|NG IS
 SPEEDILY DONE ON NEW ) LINE
Seventeen Hundred Feet of Track Was Laid on D Line During
 Working Hours Yesterday.

Station No. 1S6S9 was reached yesterday evening by the tracklay- ing gang under Foreman Thomas Blakey, which means that over eleven miles of railroad has been completed from the switch on the old location near Fish creek to the end of steel on the lew D 'Ine The distance covered by Tom Blakey's men from the point at which they quit work on Wednesday evening to Station No. 1869 is exactly 17OO feet, and is the greatest distance covered by the steel gang in any one working day of eight hours since the construction of the D line was commenced.
 It is thought that this is very good showing, considering the diff culties encountered in the way of partly finished grade with poor ma terial to work on and swampy coun- try. Of the 17O0 feet of track finished yesterday, 1400 feet of it was over partly completed grade and the rest of it in a swamp
 This swamp extends from Station 1S657 to 186S3, distance of 2600 feet. where the right of way trav- erses it, and considerable amount of cribbing up with logs will have to be done to get the line over, and consequently, the tracklaying work for the next few days will be necessarily little slower than heretofore.
 i After this swamp has been com pleted, and for about mile or so, the finished grade will be encount- cred, and judging from the rate of i progress made by the steel gang when anything like decent ground to work on is given them, this DOT tion of the finished grade will be covered in short order.
 The work of the steel gang is greatly simplified and accelerated by the use of the new device, in- vented by Superintended Packer and manufactured in the machine shop here, for handling the steel on the line.
 The device consists of a strong steel bracket or hanger, so con- structed that it can be easily fitted on to the sides of any flat car; it has slight outward inclination from the side of the car, when swung and it fitted with steel rollers on which the rail rests. Six of these hangars are fitted on each side of the steel-laden cars, the rails, as required, are lowered on the hangers and slid forward on the rollers to the men ahead, and the delay ac- casioned by having to lift out the rails and carry them on tongs to where they are to be laid, has been done away with.
 The steel is thus rapidly slid along the hangars, laid, spiked and bolted by the men of the steel gang and the work train goes ahead, while the surfacing gang, following close
 on the heels of the steel gang, com plete the spiking and boiling, while ,
