GETTING READY FOR LIBERTY
LOAN IN VERMONT.

1t seems that more thorough educa.
tional campaign is to precede the third
Liberty loan drive in Vermont than on
either of the other two occasions, as
county meetings are being held in order
to acquaint the bankers primarily, and
other citizens eventually in the raising
of Vermont's quota. Too many of these
campaigns and drives have been started
in Vermont without preliminary explana
tion other than that certain amount
has been asked of Vermont and Vermont
must go to work and raise the quota
There has not been enough explanation
of just what the money was intended
for, nor to what agency it was to 60 for
distribution. In the case of the Liberty
loan, of course, there is no need of ex-
planning what the money is intended for,
as those who have followed the govern
ments progress in war making know
that the money is intended to defeat Ger
many; but there cannot be too much eff
fort to enlist the cooperation of all the
people in the movement, in order to Sc
cure the widest participation in the loan.
Therefore, these county meetings should
prove of benefit in getting ready for the
drive, which begins next month.

Although the per capita investment by
Vermont people in U. S, thrift and wal
savings stamps was only "a cents up to
Feb. %, it was not a great deal behind
the per capita for the entire country, and
there is reason to believe that in the in
creased purchases during the last few
weeks Vermont will soon be up to the
average of the country. Some widely
scattered places in the country had gone
as high as SO per capita on the above
date, but that result was due TO some
squirt, or greatly accelerated intensive ef-
fort; and that figure was abnormal. As
in some other situations, Vermont has
been somewhat slow to get interested in
the investment in thrift and war savings
stamps, but once the people have fast
ened themselves TO the idea they will
stick to it. Let everybody help to boost
vermont's per capita and let them keep
on boosting until the goal of a $50 per
capita investment shall have been real.

About the best news that has come
out of Washington in many day is the
official statement that the system of
transportation is now working so well
that men and supplies are going from the
United States to Europe with measured
regularity. This means, most likely, the
accomplishment of the aim to place a
million fighting men in the field by early
fall. And a million fighting men of the
proper notion of kaiserism, let il be stat.
ed, are going TO make visible impression
on the war situation ON the western
front. Meanwhile the British and the
French are doing their job of holding the
line unbroken; indeed, they thus far have
done just as much damage as the Ger

The defeat of German patrol of ten
men by an American patrol of five men
with four casualties for the Germans
and not a scratch for the Americans
must be attributed in part to a more
advantageous location on the part of
the Americans. Even the most rabid
American partisan would not attribute
such vastly superior fighting ability to
the Americans when outnumbered two
to one as to believe that the above result
was accomplished in a straight stand up
fight. We know the Americans have the
right spirit, but we are not willing to
call them supermen in the field of war.

RUSSIAN FARMER AT WORK.
He Is Supplying Himself But Putting
Little on the Market.


Washington, d. c., March 9Th,
Russian farmer is back at work on tn,
land and living on his own produce" re
ports Charles l.. Preston, a prominent
New England shoe and leather man
who has just returned from a trip u
Vladiyostok on a special mission for the
bureau of foreign and domestic com.
merce, department OF commerce. $50 far
as food is concerned he is not badly off
but he is putting very little on the mar
ket He barriers for the little he needs
in the way of manufactured goods, but
will not accept money for his produce.
He refuses TO worry about the fluctuations
in the value of the ruble."
Mr. Preston, who has spent many
years in Russia, went TO Russia on this
occasion in behalf of the government to
find out what could be done to facilitate
the shipment of hides and skins to the
United States, but found little encour-
agement for the near future. Farmers
are not allowed to kill calves for a pc
iod Of three years and only small guam
titles of other hides and skins are being
bartered by the raisers. Old stocks are
held in interior warehouses and by spec
ulators, but there are no important sup
plies OF hides and skins in or near Vlad-
ivostok.
The business stagnation in Russia ex
plains Mr.. Preston is due in part to the
depreciation of the ruble and to restric-
tions on the banks Transfer of money
by banks from one city to another is
forbidden, and depositors are not al
lowed to draw more than 250 rubes
at time. In ordinary times $50 rubles
is equal to a trife more than Sl25, but
is worth a great deal less now.
Developments in the Russian hide and
skin business will continue to receive
the careful attention of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, and
plans are being made for an exhaustive
report on the industry as it existed be- !
fore the war, and during the war and on
the prospects for the future. as soon as
such prospects can be discerned with |
any certainty.
