ALL PARTIES ARE LOYAL
Democratic Leaders Claim OF
Monopoly on Patriotism
Insult to Millions.

It Is Of themselves, not Of the Presi-
dent, that Democratic members or
Congress are thinking when they urge
the election of a Democratic Congress
upon the ground II is necessary In or
der TO support the President In his wal
program. It is partisanshlp II not
patriotism that they are preaching. II
is a base effort to make party capital
out Of a national crisis and cash In
as a party on national sacrifices.
From the very beginning the Repub-
leans in Congress have unhesitatingly
voted money, men and other resources
and power without limit whenever the
Administration asked It as a war
measure. The record shows that upon
several occasions when war measures
asked by President Wilson were be-
ing bitterly fought by Democratic
leaders the Republican leaders came
10 the rescue Of the President and
gave him what he wanted
Republicans have resigned their
seats in Congress 70 enter into active
military service In support Of the war.
Republicans everywhere have sent
hundreds Of thousands Of their own
flesh and blood to give armed support
TO the President and the government.
Republicans have led the fight for pre-
p~aredness. They have stood by the
war to the utmost. They are commit
ted against any peace that IS lot die
tated by victory. Their record as par
tv in Congress and as individuals out
side of Congress proves their 100 pei
cent. Americanism.
In asking control of the next Con
gress. Republicans are merely asking
permission and opportunity to pull
half the load to share in the patriot
responsibility Of handling the affair
of their natioa during a. crisis. II
meet this crisis they have RESPONDED
without question, without stint AM
without thought Of ~partisanship, to ey
cry demand and every request of tn
Administration.
To intimate that the election of a Re
publican congress would not be stanc
ing by the President and the govern
ment is to accuse every Republican G
d~isloyalty. To brand the Republica
request for participation IN govern
mental affairs as being a menace
the nation and the President and a r
quest which the voters should re1e'

ASKED TO PREACH
ON THRIFT PLAN
Ministers Probably Will Devote Part
of Sermons on February to
War Savings Idea.

All Vermont ministers have been
asked by Fred A. Rowland, state di.
rector for Vermont for war savings
stamps, to devote at least part of
their sermons on the coming Sunday to
the war savings plan. 1t is probable
that everyone will comply with this re
quest not only because next Sunday
has been proclaimed National Thrift
day but because as Mr.. Rowland points
out in his communication, the war say
lngs plan els one of the weapons now
being used in this war of Christianity
against Paganism.
1t has been said that while Sunday
has been proclaimed thrift day Mon
day will in the main be given over the
observance of the day. Some other
plan may, however, be worked out. as
it Is felt by some officials that as one
of DIR. Garfield s holidaysn falls on
the Monday in question, this will have
lettering effect on the chances of the
success Of the day which has been given
over to stimulate thrift and savings.
Three reasons have been noted WHY,
along with National Thrift dav. every
day should be thrift day. These are:
Flrst-To conserve food for our al.
lies and our soldiers abroad.
Second-To save money to helm the
government finance the war.
Third-To so economic in our use OF
goods and our demands on labor that
the government may utilize the goods
and labor thus released to better pre-
pare oug soldiers to win the war.

that of the board, and if the question
were of law solely ! should hesitate

the following ruling, which is being
sent out to all governors:
While the effect of Rule V. page
SO, S. S. r., is to require boards to
scrutinize marriages since May 49,
1917, it was never intended that rule
should raise the presumption that ev.
cry marriage since that date was eff
fected with the primary purpose of
evading military service That rule
was intended to authorize the boards
to disregard the relationship created by
clearly established Stacker marriages
as a condition of dependency, but each
case must be carefully examined on its
own merits. No general rule can be-
laid down, but it may be stated that {
marriage that carries no equivocal cir
cumstancos other than its date is not
to be SO disregarded. -

DOUBTS TEUToN PEACE RIFT.
Hertling and Czernin Speeches Have
Some Basis. Says the Temps.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The Temps devotes
leading editorial to criticism of the
full text of the speeches of Chancellor
Won Hertling and Count Czernin, and
their relation to the allied conference
ut Versailles. The writer takes an I'M
compromising viewpoint-on the same
lines, but more emphatic than the
Temps editorial cabled previously.
While II Is easy to understand the
French wish to keep a stiff upper
lip toward possible advances from the
enemy, II is curious that the Temps is
so determined to refuse to admit any
divergence between Czernin and Hert
ling. One cannot help suspecting the
influence of local differences here, and
the fact that the French Socialists. to
whom the Temps is ever bitterly OPP
posed, accept the theory that the Aus
TRAN statesman Is greatly trying to es-
cape German tutelage may contribute
to the trmness of the Temps s attitude.
The writer says:
: Now that we have received the fu1l
texts of the two speeches we are not
afraid to state that their central idea
leaves room for no illusions. The tone
of Czernin = speech differs from Hert-
A-'r7 ~ ~ pI'Ntth-iiS u al dIlAIOuS aud
ence, but his basis is the same. Aus.
tria declares her solidarity with all
German aims, since Czcrnin proclaims
his readiness to fight to the cad for
the defense of his allies
| Austria does not sincerely wish TO
free Poland, since Czernin talks of the
attachment of the Polish state to the
Hapsburg monarchy. She is not real
| ly thinking of concluding a general
peace without annexations only apply,
when one gets down to it, to the Tx
raine, from which he hopes will come
the provisioning of Austria and the
| further ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Russia.
| 1.-The allies do not find themselves
before two different wills but before
one and the same WILL for Germany
leads and Austria follows, and this will
IS the will of war to the knife. We have
waited to verify our opinion until tine
full texts reached us. Now that we
have them the truth is evident. The
allied leaders will know how to deal
with it as it merits

SWEDEN SHORT OF FooD.
Situation in That Country Rap;dlv
Growing Worse.

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 1.-The food sit
uation IN Sweden is rapidly growing
worse. Pork cards viii be introduced
and the extra bread cards. which for.
merry were provided for foreign dipIo.
mats have been withdrawn, except one
for each head Of mission.
The export of foodstuff has almost
entirely stopped, with the exception of
meat, owing to the necessity of slaugh-
terlng stock because of the lack of fod-
DER Even meats show a large decrease.
In November last PIP tons of pork were
exported against 1,517 tons in Novcm-
Der, 1916, and Isl tons of all other meat
against 972.
The statistics of Swedish imports for
the hrst IL months Of the past year.
which are not available, demonstrate
upon what short rations the kingdom
has been put. The total imports Of all
cereals and flour were 1850 tons
against 33l ,ls7 for the first / months
of 1916. Coffee imports were 8,I94 tons
against 7,4l3, tea % tons against $50
all kinds Of animal fodder, chiefly oil

Increase Authorized on Ship
ments from the Interior
to the Pacific Coast
HIGHER CHARGES
ON EXPORT FREIGHT
Intermouatain Points Put on Same Basis
as Those Further West-Question
Now Settled Has Been Pending in
Various Forms for Years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Increases of
about Il per cent in railroad commodity
rates from the East and interior points
has been authorized by the interstate
commerce commission in finally decid-
ing the famous lntermountain rate ease
pending in various forms for years.
This action will make the through
rates to the coast equal to higher rates
maintained to Spokane, Denver, Salt
Lake City, Reno and other intermediate
cities, and remove the rate diserimina
ton against which commercial interests
OF these cities have long protested. The
order becomes effective March IL.
The decision disposes of one of the
most generally discussed rate eases be
fore the commission in recent years.
Formerly lower rates were maintained
10 the Pacific coast than TO interme-
diatc points, because of the competition
Of low freight charges by water car
ricrs from Atlantic ports through the
Panama Canal into the Pacific sea
board
This scheme was diSarranged several
years ago by the temporary bloc king of
the canal and by the withdrawal of YES
sells from coastwise trade soon after the
war opened in 1914. Since then the
question has been under active consid-
Grafton 10y the commission. The new
rates are expected TO remain in effect
