Three Vermont men lost their lives in
the sinking of the troop ship Moldavia
1t is to be presumed that many more
Vermont men were saved among the
thousands who, under good discipline,
into the small boats and were picked up
by the conveying destroyers. So, while
there will be sorrow in Vermont that
any of our soldiers were lost in the dis
aster, there will be rejoicing also that
many more undoubtedly escaped death.
Moreover, there will be the rejoicing from
a broader standpoint that large mao
fraction of the soldiers aboard the i'll
fated ship were enabled to make their
way to land although losing practically
all their personal equipment. Regret
table as were many features of the oc-
currence, there were many other features
which are calculated to raise the depres-
sion felt all over the United States One
was the splendid morale of the soldiers
as a whole, the promptness of their re-
Spouse to orders and their readiness to-
meet the emergency. Their conduct au-
ours we'll for their conduct on the field of
battle.

A really good cause rightly presented
almost never appeals in vain to the
American people. The American people
are quick to recognize the Justice of a
good cause when it is presented in its
true situation and they are as prompt
to meet the requirements. The justice
Of the cause of the American Red Cross
was again shown in the proper light; the
need of funds with which to carry on
the work of the organization was set be-
fore the public; the request was made
for a fund of sl00,OOO,O0O with which to
save the lives of many eombatants and
non-combstants in the great war. A
week was set for the campaign of rails
ing the money. Before the week was
concluded the American people had more
than subscribed the amount asked and
the figures Of the contribution mounted
steadily above that mark, the exact
amount Of the oversubscription not being
determined, of course, at this time. The
generosity Of the American people is
once more demonstrated in unmistskable
manner The collection Of this vast sum
will enable the Red Cross to carry on its
splendid work at the front on an undi.
minished scale

Possibly one very strong reason why
the Germans have not resumed their Of
fensive before to-day is because they have
lost more than thousand airplanes since
they began operations last March. An
army cannot advance nowadays without
airplanes, and the loss of more than
thousand planes must have been quite a
weakening to Germany's eyesight on the
field of battle.

Children under five years of age will
be carried free, as at present, and those
between five and II win be charged half

Communication fares, which are raised
10 per cent, are construed to apply to
persons having daily or frequent occa .

places of employment or educational in

To discourage the use of heavy sleep

ed that the following minimum number
of tickets should be bought for drawing

Two adult tickets for a drawing room
in sleeping car, two adult tickets for
compartment, one and one half adult
tickets for a section, five adult tickets
for exclusive occupancy of drawing room

The % per cent increase in freight

will be necessary in many cases, For in

beauties Of his flowers and the excel
