Views of the Vigilantes ONE HUNDRED PER CENT LOYAL
By Abbie Farwell Brown

by ADDle FarWei bFoWn
 Yes; we used to think that Loyal meant 100 per cent.
 There used to be no such word as near-loyal; any more than fact could be near true. It was either true or was-something with an ugly name. Isn't it so with Loyalty?
 Loyalty as I see it, means backing up the nations forces, executive and administrative Army and Navy, in the fixed determination to see this war through to a safe close: backing them up with 100 per cent. of ones energy, 100 per cent. of ones enthusiasm, and 100 per cent. of ones good will, avail able strength, time and cash.
 I have been seeing a good many diff ferent Circles" of people lately; and it is amazing to me how many good and patriotic persons tack on to their expression of loyalty a condition. an exception, an If only" but" or some personal reservation.
 'MesAbut if only we had gone into it sooner!" "But-I don't care much for one of our Allies. I can't for get-'' "Only-I don't approve of Liberty Loans,' I'm afraid of mili- tarism, if" T hear queer things about"
 One hundred per cent loyalty doesn't sheer at what good has been done, on the score that it might have been better. It doesn't repeat gossip or innuendo about activities which are helping win the war. It doesn't. as I heard & volunteer war worker do, make a condition as to the "set" with whom she would be expected to CO., operate. No; 109 per centers don't think of themselves, of their disap-

an epidemic or case of unusual character develops.
 Besides the trench fever micfobe. the meteorological laboratory had countless other germs, of typhoid diptheria, malaria, dysentery, tuber- culosis and the whole range of mal- adies which find Judgment in an army.
 The germ cultures are in long spind1y
 bottles. They preset deadly arsenal
 of disease germs which would deci-
 mate whole city if they were un- loosed.
 A large oven of white enamel was
 at one side of the laboratory. and opening the door of the oven one saw the germ cultures being developed in incubators. A mild heat, always kept uniform, carries on the work of germ growth. Soft cotton was spread
 over the oven, and on this lay the cultures, some exposed and some in the long bottles. slowly maturing to the full grown state where the full | effect of their deadly properties can 1 be explained and studied.

bolsheyik control are none too we'll understand. They have maintained their control until such crops as were raised must have been harvested and certainly any shortage has not served es yet to bring about any overthrow of that government even though it is carrying out a policy of starvation, murder and destruction on an exten- sive scale.
 It is thus apparent that whatever efforts are undertaken by the allies the relief that is despatched must go forward to those sections iri the north. south and east with which the allies have an understanding, but until more definite knowledge is pos sessed it will be difficult to judge what other steps will have to be employed to help the strengthening out of the tangled affairs of that great country. 1t may be that the food situation there is not as bad as it has been thought.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pasteurized Milk.

MT. Editor: There are many ways in which the consumers are squeezed and are told that it is for their beRe- fit The latest is the order that all the milk sold in Norwich must be pas teuriZed We are told that it will cost about $S0,0O0 to build and equip this plant, and that it will be necessary to raise the price of milk cents a quart more, in order to pay interest money and the salaries of the superintendent and those who operate the plant. We are told that in Norwich there are sold about 5000 or more quarts of milk day, which means that the consumer must pay $40 a day, or S1,680 a week. more for the pasteurized milk. A To-
 cal doctor told me that a baby or small child could not continually be fed on pasteurized Gscalded) milk without iniuring it's constitution. un- less some drug was taken to counter
 act it. We are told that pasteurizing milk eliminates all harmful bacteria,
 and some that are not. We are told to
 boil water 15 minutes in order to de-
 stroy all harmful bacteria so how will
 heating milk to 145 degrees accomplish the same thing? The people in Nor
 wich have always purchased their
 milk from the farmers and their health haS peen gooo, ana why Should tnls
 added burden be put upon the con- sumner? It would seem to me that the Chamber of Commerce would lend their influence in behalf of the poor
 people in Norwich rather than raising the cost of their living, for which the consumer will receive no benefit The well ii-to-do can pay any price for milk, the poor cannot, and is there no one in Norwich who cares for their well fare? rich man once said: "The public be damned!" and suppose that 1 it is the consumer this time.
 Very respectfully yours,

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION.

Just what this country and those allied with it are going to do in the way of furnishing food supplies to Russia is something which is not dnite plain at the present time. The attitude toward that country must be the same as toward the central DOW ers. There is a large part of Russia to which there can be no hesitation in sending relief but it is to be remen- hered that at the present time there is no armistice with the bolsheviki and the bolsheviki are in possession of a considerable part of western Russia.
 By the removal Of the Ukraine from the control Of the soviet government the southwestern part of Russia has placed itself not only in a position to attack the bolshevik control to the north but to receive the assistance which can be gotten to it and which the allies viii dou6t1ess be eager to render

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Cause of Trench Fever.

 Correspondence of The Associated Press):
 This is the cause of trench fever" said the bacteriplogist as he opened small metal box about the size of pill-box and disclosed three tiny germs lying beneath bits of leaf One of the particles was so small a microscope was needed to see it, but two others were well developed and lively, one of them lying on it's back with it's legs up.
 They are thoroughbreds, he added referring to the germs as though they were high bred race horses. The thoroughbreds are kept for research and experimental purposes, it was ex- plained. This species conveys trench fever much as the mosquito, malaria from one infected person to another. But as these thoroughbreds had not been in contact with infection they could not convey it. They were there fore harmless, so much so that they were fed by l1eig placed on the bacter- iologist's arm. Rolling up his sleeve he showed the pin bricks where they had made their last meal. It was a harmless abras- ion, and thus the thoroughbreds were kept for the continuing research which is clearing I'D this troublesome phase of army disease, trench fever.

VETERANS AND STATE GUARD.

In this state as in others there is not a little interest as to what Is go- ing to become of the military organi- zations which were started after the national guardsmen were called away to the war. They were organized for Emergency purposes to take care of any situation which might arise at home. The step was certainly She right one and there can be no ques- ton but what they have met every re- quirement. They have included many ot the old time military men and have been brought to commendable state Of efficiency considering the time in which they have been in existence
 It is apparently not going to be such long time before the guardsmen who have been overseas are going to return. They are for the most part in rho famous 18th division which has done such excellent work in France and are of course in federal service. The old organizations arc of course gone but as they return to their home towns it is but natural that they will be interested in things military and t4icsL many Oi VIII Dc dnAlOuS TO get back to their old armories and as- sociations, and certainly they will all bS anxious to revive the organization under which they set out if such is possible.
 It is of course possible to bring about reorganization of the whole state guard made up of the veterans and those of the new organization who may desire to continue such work, while nothing might stand in the way of allowing tho present state guards to remain and recognizing new com panies of the veterans, but it is quite evident that some provision should he made for those returning from overseas if they desire a place in the military organizations of the state.

They are constructive, rather than destructive, so far as their words are concerned. They are pushing things on, rather than holding them back. They are builders of better future, instead of being critics of a doubtless imperfect present, or a poor past.

Dear Sir:
In last weeks edition of the Chron-
icle / read an article by W. W. Raw
>linsOn concerning a conversation be-
tween one who signs himself Paul
Pry" and Captain Milman in which
during a heated argument Paul Pry'
is alleged to have remarked: Il am no
Stacker in politics and vote straight.
According to Mr.. RawlinsOn's way of
thinking, failure to vote straight is no
ohense against good citizenship and /
heartily agree with him.
am sorry to say l have not the
honor or the pleasure to be acquainted
with either Mr. RawlinsOn, Capt. Mil
man or Paul Pry'', but as an Ameri-
can citizen who believes in good gov
ernment, the principles of true democ-
racy and the dictates OF his own con-
science, ! am fully in accord with the
stand taken by Mr.. Rawlinson.
The day has passed when the blind
adherence to any political party must
be lived up to, regardless of the char
acter, honesty and integrity of the
men named on that particular ticket.
AAN man VIM DNAGhlo the kdMulQdLEb
from either or all tickets whom he
thinks are the best fitted and the most
capable of holding the office for which
they are running and who votes ac-
cordingly, is, in my estimation, a far
better citizen and a truer American
than the man who, on election day,
walks up to the ballot box and depos-
its a straight ticket simply because he
is OF a certain political creed.
The man who picks his candidates
and votes for those whom he considers
the best men, regardless of their po-
liticai affiliations, shows he has some
gray matter under his hat and is not
afraid 70 nse K.
We who have migrated from old
Delaware always think of our native

the character and ability of |

THE SURRENDER of German
troops and war materials has been
going forward for the past ten days,
and the Allied troops are following
after the Germans as they evacuate
the territory which they give over as
surety for their pledge to end the war
The peace conference will probably
get settled down in session about the
middle of January and it will prob
ably be midsummer before the terms
Of peace are settled upon and the war
ended. In the mean time. the Allied
army will have to do guard duty
along the Rhine and thru the countries
which has been conquered. It took
the United States several months to
fight the Spanish War and finally get
out of Cuba, and that was a very
small ripple in comparison with this
greatest of all wars. Have patience
and let US end this strife on a per-
manent basis.
