The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-08-24

moved along contented with our lot al
though we have tremendous shore lines
and might be expected to indulge to a
great extent in sea-faring pursuits. So
thoroughly content were we that it took
the force of a great war to bring us back
to the consciousness that as nation we
were impotent when it came TO sea com.
merce, not having merchant marine
worthy Of the name We did not have
the ships to carry our soldiers; we did
not have the ships to carry our equip
ment; we did not have the ships to carry
food to our soldiers. Then came the
great reawakening. Since that time the
shipyards on both coasts have been hum
ming with revived industry and many
new shipyards have been constructed,
from which to turn out commerce fleet
commensurate with the size and impor-
lance of American commerce. That feet
is building 1t is we'll on the way to-
ward decent size. And when it is com
pleted the fleet viii put the United
States back on the maritime map. In
the words Of Edward NJ Hurley, chair
man of the American shipping board,
1--WE shall have not only freight ships,
but passenger liners, to bring customers
from other countries TO our markets and
even more important, in my opinion
carry alert Americans sightseeing and
Understanding in other lands. The sea
will once more call American youth, for
we shall need thousands of nayigators
and hundreds of thousands of seamen.
The prospect is alluring. Ho, for the
great revived American industry!

CURRENT COMMENT
George Herbert Prouty.

All Vermont will join in unfeigned sor.
row and regret at the tidings of the
tragic death of George Herbert Prouty,
former governor of Vermont
A representative from Newport in
1895, senator from Orleans county in
1904, lieutenant governor in 1906 and
governor in 1905, Mr. Prouty was much
in the public eye, but was even better
known as man Of large business inter
ests.
The firm of Prouty and Miller is one OF
the largest in the state and Of late years
had extended its operations into Canada
and Maine. II was when he was return
ing to Maine that he met his sudden and
awful death
The deceased was not so highly esti.
mated for his craftsmanship, although
he gave Vermont faithful and conserv.
alive attributes of personal quality. OF

Two Voices on Belgium.

Representatives of the German govern
ment contradict each other SO grossly
when they speak of the intentions re-
garding Belgium that the first question
raised is the veracity of the speaker. In
these days of German disappointment in
the war an effort is being made to in
duce the democratic belligerents to be.
lieve that Germany is willing TO restore
the independence Of Belgium. On this
point, the secretary of state, DR.. w. s.
Solf, makes himself an simplifying echo
of the chancellor, Count Won Hertling, de-
claring that the Germans "do not intend
to retain Belgium in any form what
ever" that Belgium shall rise again
after the war as an independent state,
and that nothing stands in the way Of
the restoration of Belgium but the en-
emy's will to war" Why, then, does
Germany not make the restoration now I
If she does not mean to keep the country
why does she not get out of itf Until
Germany eyacuates Belgium, the war
must be continued, and therefore she
alone is responsible for all the bloodshed
that her retirement should avert, How
can the Hertling -Solf assertions be rec
onciled with the maintenance of Ger
many's oppressive administration in Bel

The present governor. general of the
country Cen Won Falkenhausen, has said
repeatedly that he intends TO follow in
the footsteps of his predecessor, Gen. Won
! Kissing And the latter's ideas of Belgian
government are recorded in the public
document known as his testament. There
he speaks Of "the sacred duty that we
(Germansl should retain Belgium for our
influence and sphere Of power, and in the
interests Of Germany that we should not
give Belgium up" In another passage he
says; eve can never allow ourselves 10
be induced to let Belgium, at the conclu,
sion of peace, revive as a neutral coun.
| try" Why not? Because, he explains
Belgium would "succumb to the disas.
trous influence of England and France
and to the effort of America to exploit
Belgian resources" Writing TO DR.. Strese
mann, Won Kissing declared that the
stand Of the Germans on the western
front had no other object than to main,
tain their hold on Belgium" and that the
peace TO be ultimately made must leave
them masters Of Belgium" Finally he
said, 'the conclusion ! arrive at is this
that If we do not get Belgium into our
sphere Of power, and if we do not govern
it in German fashion land use it in Ger
man fashion, the war is lost" Which do
you believe, Won Kissing or Solfi--Bos.
