MONTPELIER
Young Man of Determination Gets Into
the Service.

Isaac Phillips of Peacham has been
enlisted at the army recruiting Office
here. His case has interested many be-
cause of the determination he has dis
played to get into service. He was born
in Cabot some Is years ago. There are
no records in the town clerks Office or
secretary of states Office and the physi-
clan who cared for him, if there was one,
has moved away. The army regulation
set forth that birth certificate must be
provided. Phillips parents died when he
was an infant. For IL years the town
cared for him, then he shifted for him
self until four years ago, when he went
to Fred |. Powers in Peacham to live
Every way seemed to be blocked until
Mr. Powers obtained information rela-
tive to his birth and then was appointed
the guardian, certifying to the birth
within few days of its actuality at
least and the young man has enlisted in
the infantry. Clifford E. Gushea of Will
Jamestown has also enlisted through the
same Office.

could hold out there. They did so in
winter, too! Water lies everywhere
under the SOFIA thrust of the stick

THE SUBMARINE RAID

The submarine raid was merely a
testimonial to the efficiency with
which this country is now rushing
men and supplies to the war zone. 1t
was not so much designed to sink
ships as to stop them from sailing. II
it causes ships loaded for Europe to
be held week, it will probably have
accomplished all that was expected.
We should realize that it was mere
Ny dash. A submarine campaign in
American waters cannot be sustained
It is probable that the ocean is al
ready as safe as it was month ago
for the submarines that succeeded in
sinking a number Of vessels are now
probably hundreds of miles away
from the scene Of attack and on their
way to home port.
1t would be absurd to expect or fear
that the Germans would conduct a
sustained submarine war on this side
of the ocean. The mere crossing OF
the ocean back and forth would cause
the consumption of coal that would
be sufficient for two or three weeks
cruise on the other side. If subma-
rine were fitted out, say for month
voyage, it would have between two
and three weeks for cruising in search
of victims on the other side while il
would have only two or three days
for such work on this side.
Even a dash would not nave been
made to this side of the ocean but
for the fact that the port of New
York almost monopolizes American
shipping This is not condition that
has arisen since the declaration OF
war but that has existed for very
many years. There are more thar a
dozen ports that could be used tol
the transport of men and munitions
to Europe and that are used to a
small extent, but New York is Gsct
more than all of them combined. ant
it is because of this fact that sub
marine raid in the vicinity of New
York was considered by the German;
worth trying. The commerce Of thf
United States with Europe flows
through narrow funnel at New
York. On the other side of the ocear
il is divided between many ports, bu
practically all of it can be struck a
New York This was the reason 70,

would have been DESTROYED II the sub
: marines had remained on the othe
side, But If they had remained OF
: the other side the products Of thi
