The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-10-04

Few people thought that in the year
1918 civilization could sink to such a
low ebb as it is reliably reported to have
sunk in Russia and particularly in Pc
trograd, the former capital of the great
country 1t is indeed reign of terror
which is washing the streets of Petrograd
with blood and putting the firebrand to
everything which does not represent the
bolshevik spirit. And yet, it is said that
ninety per cent of the people of the Rus
sias are opposed to bolshevik rule and
are only waiting for the moment when
some leader will come among them to
shake off the shackles of fear that dom
mate them Or it may be some nation
with high ideals, whose representatives
take up the task Of the regeneration of
Russia. In that latter case the eyes of
the world turn involuntarily toward the
United States. 1t is a tremendous task
which lies ahead of the nation which en-
deavors to bring Russia out Of chaos but
the accomplished fact would be a splen-
did reward,

INFLUENZA SITUATION.

The influenza situation in Barre has
been looking distinctly better during the
last twenty-four hours and there is
reason to believe that with steady, de.
termined efforts on the part of the work
ers and a spirit Of optimism among the
people as a whole the epidemic can be
stamped out in short time or brought
at paint where the ravages will be
negligible Strict adherence to the sim
pie rules laid down by the board Of
health for the individuals and rigid
obedience to the regulations as regards
the congregating of people are impera-
tive in order to bring the epidemic to
quick extinction, and The Times urges
everyone to maintain the greatest Wig
lance despite the improved conditions.
An optimistic mental attitude will also
go far toward relieving the conditions
that have existed for the past week or
more. Think on the brighter side of the
situation, while at the same time not
getting oyer-confdent or careless.

GERMAN Desperation.

The cables from the western war
advances by either the French or the
Americans on the Champagne front dur
ing the last few days; and the reason
may be given as the fact that extreme
necessity has compelled the German high
command to throw a large part of its
best reserve strength into that sector
in order to prevent the cutting off of the
prospective retreat back across north
eastern France and Belgium to German
soil. If the allies should be able to cut
in back of the German forces the move
ment would act as one of two claws to
an immense trap which Foch is setting
to catch the greater part of the kaiser's
forces, the other claw being the extensive
drive which has penetrated to consid-
cradle depth in Belgium under the i'm
petus of the British, the Belgians and
the French. OF the two movements the
one to the south manoeuvred by the
French and Americans would probably
prove the most harmful to the German
cause That, then, explains why the
German high command has been hurting
great numbers of the best reserves into
the Champagne sector and that is why
the progress of the Franco-Americans
particularly of the Americans has been so
comparatively slow during the past week.
Nevertheless both the Americans and the
French are maintaining steady pressure
and they are advancing slowly but
surely against the desperate resistance
of the Germans. They do not yet SER
iously threaten the German retreat, it
is probable, but they form distinct
menace and will prove an actual bar if
more pressure enables them to break
through. Therefore, it would be we'll
to watch the southern sector of the
far flung battle line.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-10-04

The loss of the submarine bases on the
Belgian coast would tend greatly to
cripple the U-boat arm Of Germany.
The smaller submarines which operate
in more or less local waters about the
British Isles have their headquarters at
Ostend and Zeebrugge, or they did be-
fore the British made occupancy there
rather precarious; and the Summation
of those ports as submarine bases would
mean that the German admiralty would
have to 90 farther back into its own
waters to find haven for the whole
nest of the sea vipers. Therefore, the
force on which Germany has professed
complete reliance to stop the flow of
American troops (which force everyone
outside of the central powers admits has
been a failure) would be much handi-
capped in its work One by one Ger

from the south, finding another car
stalled on the temporary bridge near

turned aside to avoid a collision and
before its speed could be checked, col

some of the brick to fall from the Chin
