Gov Howe of Bennington is now paying
that price Because the new owner and
editor of the st. Johnsbury Caledonia
comes from Bennington, and has been a
reporter ON Mr.. Howe's paper and the
two are mutual friends, and because Mr..
Howe is thought to have political aspira-

of being political manoeuvre. From
a more or less intimate knowledge of the
circumstances surrounding the whole
transaction the writer is convinced that
there is absolutely no foundation of fact
behind the rumor Mr.. pelley has sought
the counsel of Mr. Howe, who has given

be quite natural fer the Caledonian to
support Mr.. Howe should he ever venture

The Americans abroad, having gone
through the seasoning process on the de.
feusive, are now being put through the
first practices in the offensive. The re.
suits of Saturday nights raids show that
they are fully as apt at attack as they
are at defense; in fact, it is probable
that the American temperament, like the
French, is better fitted for attack than
Tor restraint while the other fellow is
getting in his ticks. 1t is the American
idea to go out and give the opponent the
same sort of punishment that he 1.-THE
enemy is inAicting, This is oftentimes
poor policy to pursue in the so-called
modern warfare; and it is to be pre-
sumed that the Americans have had the
lesson of its poor tactical value forced
upon them during the months of their
preliminary training, so they are ready
to bide their time until they, in turn,
can do some of the offensive work That
they have chafed under the restraint
goes without saying; but over and above
that they have shown willingness to
become good soldiers, and that means
the capacity of holding ones self in ODE

THE AMERICAN ARMY A MELTING
POT

The American casualty list must be a
sore disappointment to the kaiser, not
because it is small but because it con-
tains the names of persons who under no
straining of the imagination could be
put down as American born citizens. The
list carries names which denote birth or
parentage from nearly every country of
the globe, barring, of course, the central
<powers themselves. The bearers of the
names may not be fully Americanized in
the common acceptance of the term but,
by their service in the army and navy of
the United States, they are giving strong
evidence of their desire to become fully
Americanized; and they will be quite
thoroughly imbued with American ideas
and sympsthies by the time they get
through fighting for the Stars and
Stripes and for what that banner means
Therein is the kaiser, no doubt, dis

The Free Press published in Darling's
