Look at the Hat Cords.

a military man can Immediately tell
to what division soldier belongs by
glancing at the cord ON his hat, but to
the average citizen the color of the hat
cord denotes little or nothing.
1t is an interesting feature to be ia
miliar with especially now when so many
soldiers are seen all over the country,
and anyone who takes the trouble to
learn the following list will be awarded
by being able to satisfy his own curios-
ity respecting any soldier he happens to
see without having to ask questions: A
cord of light blue signifies that the wear
er belongs to the infantry; red denotes
artillery; yellow, cavalry; buff. quarter
masters corps; orange and white, signal
corps; red and white, engineers corps;
red and black, ordnance; black and white
field clerk; maroon and white, medical
corps; black and gold officers; silver and
black, adjutant generals clerk; green

The 57th Pioneers.
BARRE Times.0

Although among the first to enlist fol-
lowing the outbreak of the war with
Germany, several hundred members of
the old 1st Vermont infantry have just
been privileged to cross the ocean to
join the fight for liberty of the world.
When the old LIST Vermont regiment was
broken up these several hundred men
were eventually shunted into the 57th
Pioneer infantry and stationed in the
South, where they have been undergo
ing training for a year. They will now
get the chance which they have so rich
" earned. Vermont people at home
will watch for any developments in
which the 57th Pioneers may be named
for something more than well-wishes

THE VOICE OF AMERICA


The voice of America has spoken
through the President and we are as
sured that no armistice will be proposed
that will reduce by one iota the allied
military advantage on the European bat
tie front.
1t may well fill us with amazement
that the central powers, while sup
plant for an armistice, should have con
tinued atrocities in Belgium and France
and also have sunk passenger steamer
or, rather. this would normally be our
frame Of mind under the circumstances
Where these powers are concerned. how.
ever, nothing can astonish us after what
has already happened. The emphatic
protest Il the President rightly finds
expression in his answer.
The immediate inference from the pas.
sage quoted from the Mount Vernon adj
dress, is that tho Hohenzollcrn and Haps-
burg dynasties must be retired, volun-
tarily or otherwise, and a genuine de-
mocracy be formed before the allies will
consent to enter into negotiations with
the central powers. The past history Of
these dynasties not only warrants the
demand for the acceptance of this condi-
ton but makes it an absolute necessity
:. if we care to base our diplomacy upon
rock
i Furthermore, when the kaiser launched
his great offensive in 1914 to dominate
the world, having decided that his mailed
fist could succeed where other great
leaders had failed-when he launched
this offensive, the issue became at once
autccracy VS.. democracy With the
strong will to conquer that nerved that
fist there is no longer room for both to
occupy the stage. According to our reck-
oning, then, the kaiser has shot his bolt ;
the star of autocracy is rapidly setting
and will soon sink below the horizon.
In order to terminate the war, at once
or after a few months, democratic rule
must be established in the central pow,

guage and understand each other; now

(Rurlinpton Free Press. J

The Republicans of Vermont are in
an embarrassing position, being unable
to hold the state convention which the
law requires, owing to the prevalence of
influenza and the action of the state
board of health. The law requires the
state convention to formulate a state
party platform and to effect an organ
ization of the party for the following
two years. Under the circumstances
with no public meeting possible, the
committee representing the party can
only do the best they can and let it 60
at that. The Vermont Democrats were
fortunate enough to meet before the
advent of the epidemic.
