Put Vermont in Front.
81. Alhnns Messenger.l J

Owing to some conditions for which
Vermonters were not to blame, Yer
mont. early in the war, was advertised
as lacking in some essentials of patri
otism. The allegation was a wicked
libel, and it, has been repeatedly dis
proved. Now comes a chance to cllnch
the answer
Vermont is asked to raise over $l3,-
cocoon for the Fourth Liberty loan
and this money is Just as necessary as
the thousands of NermonterS who are
fighting the cause of human liberty IN
France or are facing the menace of
disease il training camps in this coun
try.
Those of us who cannot be with the
million and half overseas or the mil
lions on their way from peaceful
homes TO the hell of the battlefield
are confronted with one pressing and
paramount duty-to boost the big loan
over the top and let the Huns know
where the stay-at homes of America
stand as TO winning the war
Now comes the time when it will not
/ do to argue with ourselves as to
whether we can afford il or not. The
+, size of Rutland s quota and of Yer
mont 5 part in the big loan is formi-
dable enough so that we must sub
/ scribe as never before. We must sac
| rifce, plan, conserve, economic and
DENY ourselves if necessary, but the
big loan must he made. 1t must be
oversubscribed if we would eloquently
answer the peace offensive of the enc
my.
! Small blocks of bonds are all very
well, but they must be made bigger
and individual amounts must be in
creased The man who took $50 bond
4 before must take n 800 bond this
week. The man who took a 800 bond
must increase his subscription to 5000
or better. When it comes to thousands
the doubling up process runs into real
money, but it must be done, as every
day increases the expenses of making
war and we are fast reaching the limit
of our taxing capacity.
Let no one fool himself with the no
tion that the war is nearly over. IT
may be. but the big push is yet to
come. To dislodge the Hun from his
eoncreted defenses on the western
front not only takes precious toll OF
human life but 1t costs money--big
money, more money than the average
man can count or compute.
If we are to end the war this year

much more as may be needed is what

What is the quality of the wisdom in

and efficiency? 1t is by this that the
country will Judge the adequacy of his
conception in the present crisis and of
the measures that must be taken to Sc
cure permanent peace.
First. we give the President credit
for absolute sincerity and candor. He
takes the whole world into his conf
dence; he has no desire to conceal any
thing. We find here the essential bed

Republicans Will Stick.
(St. Adams Messenger. }

The political situation in Vermont
shorn of its unessentials, resolves itself
into the situation presented by Dem
Ocratic candidate for governor deserving
the principle for which his party has al
ways contended, and with which he him
self has been identified, in the hope that
he may achieve victory at the polls.
Doctor Mayo is not. The Messenger be-
lieves. near so much interested in hav
ing the federal Constitution amended as
he is in getting himself elected governor
of Vermont over the Republican candi-
date.
1t is drive against the Republican
party nothing more and nothing less,
and it is in this light that theS matter
should be viewed. Ratification or non
ratification is not involved in the gov
| eTnoTship contest to any great extent,
but Doctor Mayo must have an issue
and he takes the only one that comes
to his hand. If either Judge Darling or
| Frank Howe had been nominated it is
not likely that the doctor would have
made his pronouncement in favor of rati-
| fication, but so long as no one vet has
succeeded III proving negative, The Mes
senger will not assert that he would not
1 nave uullt 81.
The Messenger does not believe that
any considerable number of Republicans
are blinded to the situation. There are
some a few extremists, who will not sup
port AIr. Clement because of his posi-
ton on prohibition. but their number vii
be offset by the Democrats who feel that
Doctor Mayo has resorted To politica
trick and who will not vote for him
The great majority of Republicans arc
loyal to party and when a man wins hi
party's nomination they will stand by
him. This is the only way party organi
cation can be maintained. and without
party organization we would drift into
specie of semi Bolshevikism.
The Messenger has said that small
minority will desert TO Mayo. That is
true But one will be deceived as Il
its size by the noise it makes. About
all that a small minority can do is t.
make noise. az former President Taf'
tells in one of his stories. The former
chief magistrate of the nation relate'
that as a youngster he received advice
from a wise old statesman to the effec
that when he was with the majority t,
he content with voting. but when in ;
minority to make noise for that wa
al the minority could do. and the smaller
the minority the louder the noise. Thu
is what the situation in Vermont vii
amount to.

the older butterfly was the one to be
called "your honor" or whether any
one should be called by such title.
But it came to her mind quite sud-
denly and she thought it sounded very
well. She knew after she had said
it that Mr.. Giant Swallowtail was
highly pleased and flattered.
"Then, of course, you're not expect
ed to know much, and you haveI1t had
time to think yet of all the interesting
changes you've had in your life. In

"We aren't satisfied at being cater
| pillars and at crawling along the trees /;
| we want to fly and sip honey from
the flowers, to enjoy the sunshine and

time"
"How beautifully you speak," said
Miss Giant Swallowtail admiringly.
Thank you, thank you" said Mr..
Giant Swallowtail as he shook his
wings a little "And it's fine to be
called by such a large sounding name
as Giant Giants, you know, are big

used to think they. were dreadful, but
nowadays I hear that children say
they're fine and jolly. just as nice and

"Then to have another fine name

certain kind of coat which big men

Giant Swallowtail.

How About Mayo.
(Nergennes Enterprise. }

In view of some of the fops, turn
overs and reversals which Vermont
witnessed during the recent primary
campaign. it would be interesting to
know where DR.. Mayo, Democratic
candidate for governor, stood until this
era of political acrobatism set in. Has
he been in sympathy with the aims and
views of the Ants Saloon league, or
has he become convert to national
prohibition since Mr. Clement was NOM
inated9 Is he another addition to the
long list of those who have abandoned
former principles in the hope of catch
ing few additional votes? We know
Mr.. Clement stands where he stood.

SNIPE SHOOTING IS
 REDUCED TO FINE ART
 IN MODERN WARFARE

Behind the British Lines in France, June 19.- Correspondence of The Associated Press) Sniping and counter-sniping has been reduced to a fine art in modern warfare, and the sharpshooter uses many othef branches of the service to assist him. An incident which occurred a few days ago in the British lines in Flanders shows how a little artillery work is sometimes necessary in bringing about the undoing of the German snipers.
 Lieutenant Jackson, battalion snip ing officer, was walking down the trench when he heard sudden rattle of musketry- German bullets strik- ing one of the British sniping plates. One of his sniping posts was being battered by German armor-p piercing bullets.
 The officer hurried to the scene and with his periscope located the spot where the Germans were firing. It was a big post on some ground be- hind the enemy firing line, hidden with earth and looking exactly like any one of the other tangled ham, mocks with which shells and mines had strewn the vicinity. But his trained eye quickly marked out four small apertures which he knew to be loopholes. The excellence of his per Iiscope even enabled him to see the puffs of unburned powder which came from the four hostile rifles at every shot.
 They are behind concrete and steel under that surface mud, sir,'' said the sergeant. Tt won't be easy dealing with them."
 "It's case for the heavy artil- lery, I'm afraid,' murmured Lieu tenant Jackson regretfully, he dis liked calling in any outside assist ance for his snipers.
 "I saw the major of that heavy battery which covers us, going by a moment ago." suggested the ser geant.
 Lieutenant Jackson hurried off down the trench and found the Ma jor who was up on survey of the enemy line for special targets. A hint of what had developed brought
