SOME NEWSPAPERS ARE C0NsERv
ING WHITE PAPER.

The shortage of newsprint paper,
coupled with the government insistence
that there should be greater conserva-
ton, has resulted, it is said, in great
saving of paper even thus early in the
campaign of conservation. The news
papers have, almost with one accord, re-
sponded to the representations of the
government and have done their part to-
ward preventing a needless waste Of a
very valuable material, There are, how
ever, still some newspapers which are
not doing nearly as much as they might
in order to avert an acute shortage later
on These papers are some Of the Sun.
day editions which are strung out over
miles Of white paper in the aggregate, a
small section of the editions being de.
voted to the really essential features and
the majority of the paper being simply
strewn with ink in the presentation Of
some silly features which some editors
think their readers desire These silly
features might be eliminated from the
Sunday editions and the readers would
not feel that they had suffered any loss
In that way a great saving of white
paper could be effected

CURRENT COMMENT
Men, Not Votes.

Senator Lodges, Remember, we must
get men, not votes" cut to the heart the
question of manpower with which Con
gress is wrestling. Too many congress
men are thinking of votes, yet votes viii
not win the war.
There is nothing but the politicians
hunger for votes in the amendment OF
Mr.. Campbell of Kansas providing that
no one engaged in agriculture shall be
drafted. No other occupation as such is
thus exempted by law, not even the
munitions industry; the House was I'M
wise in granting a privileged position to
men engaged in farm work. The present
system, under which the draft boards de-
termine who may be exempted, deciding
each case on individual grounds, is to be
preferred to the exemption by law of an
entire class
The House, however, was on the right
side in rejecting the Mckenzie amend
ment, proposed by the majority Of the
military affairs committee, which would
have left. young men from is to 20 to be
called for training only after the other
registrants up to As should have been
called to the colors. The question OF call
ing registrants under 81 is one to be left
to the military authorities, who would
act in accordance with plain military ne
cessity.
Here are the military resources of the
country; they include the classes from is
to 20 inclusive. Congress has by law al
ready permitted hundreds OF thousands
of these youth to volunteer It would be
a senseless performance now to interfere
with the army chiefs in utilizing this
manpower under the CONSUMPTION act.
1t again happens that Mr. Kahn Of Cal
ifornia, the ranking Republican member
of the House military affairs committee
unqualifedly supports the administration
and the war department in this legisla.
tion, while the Democratic chairman, Mr.
Dent of Alabama, fails to give the sup.
port which the administration might
rightly expect from him. The House did
itself credit on the Mckenzie amend
ment in following Mr. Kahn rather thar
Mr.. Dent, 1t was a clear case in which
the president received better support
from the Republican than from the Dem.
ocratic side Of the chamber. Springfield

to make the voters believe that the issue
is the same as that over the Perry bill
two years ago The two are no more
alike than daylight and darkness The
Perry bill was an attempt to impose
state prohibition in Vermont, while all
around us was license territory The
present proposal is to stop the manu-
facture and sale of alcohol as a beverage
throughout the entire United States.
With the patriotic example Of three mil
lion American boys giving up all com
forts of home and pleasure, undergoing
rigid mental and physical training, and
prepared to make any sacrifice ! think
we should be willing to give up the use
Of alcohol as beverage, because of the
harm it does TO a part of our people.
Vermont has more than ten thousand
sons in service and five thousand more
awaiting call Practically every home in
Vermont has furnished soldier or sailor
and many homes have sent more than
one. The interest and energy Of Yer

seek the office. He is now past " years

compelled to 60 into battle against the
Austrians either on the French front or
on the Italian front sooner or later, be-
fore the issues of the war were definitely
decided. This theory was predicated on
the belief that Germany and Austria
were indissolubly bound up in each 9TH
er's destinies and that when one needed
the other there would be ready response
OF the appeal The correctness Of the
theory is now revealed when Germany
finds herself running short of man-power
and her armies badly battered and de-
feated by the millions Of men under com
mand of Field Marshal Foch. In effect,
these Austrians are fighting the Amer
leans even though they may not be di.
rectly facing them. Therefore, the wis.
dom of declaring war against Austria is
borne out and the theory that Austria
could be severed from Germany is rather
effectually exploded. 1t is evident that

eae hother that is, the rulers of the two
countries intend to stand by each other
to the very last ditch.
However, the determination of Austria
to stand by Germany in the actual fight
ing on the front in France will not make
any difference with the result, although
the Austrian reinforcements may serve
to handicap the allies advance to Ger,
tain extent providing enough men can BE-
released from the Italian and Albanian
fronts. The allied victory may be de
layed somewhat but it is sure to come
In the meantime the Austrians will lose
very heavily in man-power and will
therefore, find themselves even more Sc
riously crippled when peace is finally de-
clared. Austria appears to be making Q
peor throw of the dice, whether she il
forced to do it or not.

The small number of registrations in
Barre of young men who became 81 years
of age between June 5, 1918, and Aug.
"a, 1918, inclusive, is undoubtedly ex-
planned by the theory that many youths
in that class have long since gone into
essential war work, chiefly in munitions
plants in southern New England There
has been a considerable exodus of young
men from Barre, in addition to those
who have entered actual service of theii
