THE NEW INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Montpelier was not alone in the
observance OF q new Independence
Day this year. The entire country
from ocean to ocean and lakes to
gulf Wed in the same manner and
relegated TO the rear the preliminary
firecracker which heretofore gave us
the assurance that the Fourth of July
had come again. Indeed, yesterday
was quite different Fourth than
what we celebrated last year, or the
the years previous.
II Is true that we were at war last
year at this time, but we were only
on the outskirts. None Of our boys
were "over there" and but few Of
them were In training camps OF this
country, and the war still seemed
rather remote affair to us. But
this year things are entirely changed.
We have over 10000 officers and g.
100000 men with the colors, besides
possessing merchant marine of TO-
04O,659 gross tons, nearly 1000 yes
sells. Besides the great number OF
our men on foreign soil, many more
are on the way and thousands in
training camps preparatory to going.
Thus were we impressed with the
importance of giving up the regular
firecrack er and skyrocket method OF
celebrating the Fourth.
The meaning OF the day is assum-
ing significance that demands deep
er feelings than can be fittingly ex-
pressed by fireworks. One fine thing
about II is that the children did not
ask for the usual method of celebra-
tion. for they seemed to realize, In their
own small way. the seriousness OF the
times. Instead even they have been
impressed with the thought OF in
vesting their penny savings In thrift
stamps.
Everywhere this sentiment seems
to have prevailed. The thought was
how could We do the things that
would benefit and aid our country
in the mighty conflict In which it Ii

this years Fourth with rejoicing for
our freedom, not forgetting what a
cost this freedom was gained and
that there still is stupendous work
to be done and mighty sacrifice to
be undergone in order to maintain
IL for our own country and those of
our allies.

world, or at least as far as Berlin
ana Vienna. Wherever there were
ships to be launched on the nations
birthday that feature OF the day was
beyond all doubt the central ceremo-
ny around which community celebra-
tions formed.
Inland, however, where we could
not celebrate the Fourth by launch
ing ships, however much we would
like to, our independence Day fes-
tiyities took on some other form.
They did, moreover, reflect that spir-
Il Of that new nationalism that is
welding US all together for the win
ming OF the war. The old kind OF July
Fourth did not answer. Every com.
munity wanted to celebrate in a man
ner at the same time more exalted
and less extravaganza.
Helpful hints az to how this could
be done were found in the message
sent out by many council Of defense
societies. The suggestion was made
by all that celebrations be unified
community affairs, that they be sim
pie and inexpensive, that the speech
es deal with war aims, that a mes
sage from the president be read,
and that special attention be given
any group OF foreing-born citizens
that desired to pledge its loyalty by
taking part In the proceedings
Programs conducted along these,
lines made the day memorable and
inspiring, and elevated towns and
cities and communities to new heights

So. s. l.. Boothroyd, associate pro-
fessOr of astronomy at the University
of Washington, told large audience
of men and women recently, in lee
ture on ''The Nebulae of the Stars"
The eclipse of the sun, which viii
be almost complete in Seattle on June
next, will be one of the most re-
markable sights ever permitted man
to see. declared Professor Boothroyd.
The astronomers, with powerful tel
escopeS, can witness an eclipse every
IS hours, If they wish to. The star
Algol which is a huge sun, and is To-
Gated in the northern heavens at this
time of the year, in the sword hand of
PerSeus, is eclipsed every 5S hours by
a dark star that passes between 1t
and the earth. This accounts, says
Professor Boothroyd, for the fact that
Algol will gradually grow dim, and
then. within few minutes, flash up
brighthly again.
New worlds and suns are in process
of creation in the heavenly nebulae,
said Professor Boothroyd. The rare
fed gases composing the nebulae, and
which consist of atomic particles less
complex than the atoms of iron and
mercury on our sphere, are gradually
becoming more dense. After countless
ages they become solid planets. or
some cataclysm of the heavens may so
heat the particles composing them that

American Commander Praised.

Through its ambassador to this coun'
try the British government has just
conferred exceptional honors upon the
commander of a United States navy
vessel operating in foreign waters. For
service in an encounter with German
submarine the British admiralty has
recommended the decoration of the
Distinguished Service order for Lieut..
Com. George f. Neal. U. S. N, who
was in charge of an American Destroy
er. This ship was one of a number
escorting transports through the war
zone when the quartermaster sighted
the wake of a periscope, 1,SOO yards
distant. General quarters were sound
ed and the commanding officer at once
began to maneuver with the enemy. He
Immediately shot his ship head on at
the U-boat. Getting ahead of the peri
scope he ordered depth charge drop
ped. Nothing more was seen of the
submarine and ii was evident that her
damage had been serious. The British
admiralty credits the success of the
destroyer to the alertness of the COM
mander and the manner in which he
handled the attack. Lieutenant Com
mander Neal is a native Of Tennessee.
He graduated from the naval academy
in 1897. Under the laws Of this coun-
try officers are not allowed to receive
decorations from foreign powers.

Because OF the ability Of this coun-

come here TO make their home, the

While it may be true that we have
absorbed a tremendous number of
alien people and made good Ameri-
can citizens OF them, we are daily
finding out that not all of those who
came to us from across the ocean
have left behind them any affection
they might have had for the land
from which they embarked; in fact
a large number of them have come
for the apparent purpose of foment-
ing trouble. and the treatment Of
these people has become something
of a problem, for we have preached
unto them the beauties Of American
citizenship and its close relationship
with humanity until the impression
has probably been created that we
were very mild-natured people.
