HE TRoD THE PATHS OF OLD.
But the Gilded, Mirrored Night Restau-
rants Have crumbled to Dust.

London, Aug. 9.--The Paris correspon-
dent Of The Daily Express writes that
he climbed the hill to the butte of Mont
martre the other day and looked down
on Paris beneath pail of smoke.
He trod the paths followed by the pre-
war tourists, traversing the Montmartre
they knew, with its gilded, mirrored
night restaurants,
"Would YOU could see these places
now" he continues. "The Rat Mort and
the Abbaye look like dilapidated Irish
homesteads; the sails of the Moulin
Rouge have crumbled to dust. Then left
the Montmartre the tourists knew and
crossed the Place Blanche and began a
steep climb upon the Rue LEIPZIG. There
are no signs of panic on the butte. The
Montmartois cannot afford the luxury
of fight, so they carry on.
quarters of the way up the hill
stands the Moulin de GAZETTE, a famous
old mill which became a dancing place
where young men took their sweethearts
on Saturday night. Now the young men
are in the trenches and young women in
the munition factories, and the old mill
is forsaken

of Montmartre, and there are still living
on the heights old people who helped to
put him there. To-day they sit in the

Nothing Less Than Our Best.

With casualties pouring in and hardly
community OF any size in Vermont
that escapes untouched are we not all
brought into closer contact with this
war and what it meansl Are we not
forced to take a new viewpoint, those
Of us, il such there are, who have not
yet felt keenly the meaning of this
great struggle? Are we going to be so
tolerant Of those who give only luke
warm support to war activities, those
who find their own wisdom superior to
that Of the experts who have studied
the situation and know what each one
Of us should do along certain lines.
If those boys we knew can give up
their lives, or suffer their bodies to be
mangled; if the parents Of these boys
can make such great sacrifice, can
we not do cheerfully those little things
which in the aggregate make SO much
for yictoryl If these boys can make
their sacrifice on the scale. they are
making It, what patience can we have
with those who complain because they
must do without some of the wheat and
sugar which they formerly used in such
unnecessary and lavish quantities. When
the boys are dying out there in the
blood soaked mire Of Flanders, diving
for us, do those who begrudge these mis-
called sacrifices at home deserve any
consideration at all at the hands of de-
cent, patriotic peoples And what about
those who refuse to do their part for
the Red Cross, the Knights of Columbus,
the Liberty loan, and the war savings
stamps; what do these deserve from
the relatives and friends of the boys
who are giving their all to the cause?
And what of those who seek to make
capital of any sort, political or cash,
from the blood suffering of our sons;
what do they deserve?
These casualties are bringing all this
home upon us with a rush. We used to
say the casualty lists would wake us up.
They do more. They fill us, every de-
cent one of us, with great ambition
20 show ourselves worthy of the bows
who are dying for us. God but they
deserve our best, and even our best is
insignificant in comparison with what
they are doing. And those who fall short
Of their best, or who seek to capitalize
in any way this frightful war for their
own selfish purposes or ambitions, are
unworthy of the protection our boys
overseas are giving them and of any con
sideration on our part, We at home are
being put to a tremendous test, and
each to his own conscience and to his fell
lows is answerabe Nothing that any
one Of us will be called upon to do here
at home can even approach what they
are doing for us over there, and if any
one of us here hesitates or refuses TO do
his best, then let him or her forever
go under some other name than Ameri-
can,--St. Adams Messenger

A CALL TO DUTY

From the battle fields in France
there comes an unspoken call that
should find an answer in every
Americans heart. The recent great
events in Europe, the successes OF
American arms on the fields of France
should spur every American to great
er effort. .l...
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels Of our soldiers in
France. Every death on the field OF
honor in the line Of duty and for ou1
country's cause should be call to us
for every sacrifice and every exertion
to aid the cause for which our soldiers
are fighting, for which our soldiers
have died. ."
