These are the days when the loyalty of
any candidate for public office must be
absolutely above suspicion.
They are days when no apologist for
Germany can expect anything but con-
demnation at the hands of 100 per cent
Americans.
Even if it be no matter Of loyalty,
then the type Of mind which sees no
wrong in the course Of Germany before
this country entered the war, which felt
no thrill when Belgium sacrificed mate
rial gain for honor, which felt no indig
nation when the U-boats sank the Lusi-
tania and killed American women and
children, which sees nothing in the cause
for which Italy and the other allies are
fighting, but ignoble aim, which can write
at time after the relations Of the
United States and the imperial German
government were broken off:
"When the United States gets into
the foolish war" has no right to ask the
suffrage Of American citizens.

A New 4Great Lake"

The people Of the Champlain valley
see new commercial future opening be-
fore them as the result Of the arrival at
the port Of Burlington, VT, of a canal
barge from the Hudson, laden with oil.
The canal which brought the barge-the
Champlain canal connecting the south.
ern end Of Lake Champlain, at White
hall, with the Hudson at Port Edward
is not in itself a new thing. Quaint
little canal boats marked "Champlain
and Hudson" and really looking very
ancient, may from time TO time be OBJ
served slowly descending the broad Hud-
son or lying of the wharyes Of New
York City. But their purely local traffic
has not heretofore had the ambitious in.
tention Of the present arrival at Bur
lington, the purpose Of which Is not to
supply the local demand for oil, but that
of the whole of northern New England.
The oil and gasoline thus freighted from
Pennsylvania or from New York City
to Burlington will there be pumped into
great tanks and shipped by rail to north
ern New England points from Burling
ton as a distributing center II is fond.
ly expected by the Burlington people
that the example will be followed in 9TH
err lines Of traffic, and that Burlington
will thus become port of entry for
northern New England.
Even If this dream be realized this
should not be the end Of the development
of Lake Champlain transportation. There
is already canalized connection, by way
of the Richelieu river, between Lake
Champlain and the st. Lawrence river,
and ii this connection should sometime
be developed into ship canal, Burlington
might consider herself an ocean port, as
we'll as port of the Great Lakesfor
vessels Of large size now descend the
Great Lakes and the Welland and St.
Lawrence canals from Chicago to the
sea In imagination we san see Lake
Champlain looking and steaming
southwark by way of the Hudson to
New York, northward and eastward to
the Atlantic, and westward to the Great
Lakes. She would in that case become
an American inland sea, Of absolutely
unique position.

realize fully any such dream as that, but
the prophecy may safely be made that

Failure of the American naval collier
to reappear still affords favorite field
for speculation, and while there are rela-
tives Of the men who were aboard the
vessel who are hoping against hope that
favorable tidings will come some day,
most people are forced to believe that
the Cyclops will remain one of the mys-
teries of the war. In statement to
newspaper men this week Secretary Dan
iels set at rest the rumor which credited
someone with rescuing bottle, the con.
tents of which explained that the collier
had been captured by German subma-
rine. Sea mysteries have always been
more or less closely associated with bot
tie messages. The secretary told his in
reviewers that nothing in the war is
impossible, this in commenting on the
report that the Cyclops had been taken
to German waters by its submarine cap
tor. But he FASTENED to add that such a
fate was highly improbable. Vermonters
have more than passing interest in the
story of the Cyclops because near kins-

The Gold Star.

This war has developed many new
ideas, such as service flags, Liberty bond
buttons, Salvation Army huts and war
gardens, but nothing that has been put
forth has exerted such a pull upon the
heartstrings and stirred the imagination
and sentiment quite as much as the little
gold star which is embroidered upon the
band of black ribbon, worn upon the
arm of some mother, sister or widow Of
a lad who has given his life for the cause
Of humanity on the fields Of carnage in
France. It is a symbol that is self
expressive. 1t brings the wearer and the
passing citizen into the intimate touch
Of brotherhood. II commands respect
that is far deeper than that extended to
the service flag flying in the window,
All other emblems are merely signs that
service has been rendered. The gold star
tells of sacrifices that can never be re-
paid; of a life given for others; and of
lives made desolate because of another's
sacrifice. It is proper to raise our hat
when the American flag goes by in form
al parade. Many a man is there to-day
who experiences the desire to make the
same recognition Of the little gold star.
