did not want it, and made a gift of it
to the local library, we were at perfect
peace with Germany; and the German
citizens of Oyster Bay, of whom there
is considerable number, might be sup
posed to have legitimate right to see
the portrait of the German sovereign on
the walls of the village library.
The war consigned the portrait to de-
served ignominy; but that ignominy in
volved or necessitated no mob trampling
1t is even probable that the trustees OF
the library would have done well to keep
the kaiser's portrait in the cellar, and in
future and peaceful times to have resur-
rected and exhibited it as part of the
documentary history Of the war. For
upon even the most flattering portrait of
this strange man there is written, in GER
tain malevolent lines of the sharp-set
face, the story of murderous intention
against the neighbors of Germany. The
forward slant of the middle face, the lean
lines running toward the fiercely decorat-
ed mouth, the eyes, which affect a look
of frankness, but in reality express cum
ming, all reveal the human wolf. To COW
er up this character the artists fattery
is powerless. Such portrait may be in
valuable to the future student Of the
war and its preparers and leaders.
Moreover, the rage which vents itself
upon canvas and pigment, or which is
somehow satisfied by the hanging or
burning of an effigy, is itself purely
savage thing. 1t is unworthy Of free
and enlightened people. Certainly there
should be an end Of such mob stupid

The Attorney eneralship.

Recent developments in various direc.
tions have caused the race for the Repub-
lican nomination to become something of
a drifting contest. Following the now ia
nous Bennington raid, the present attor-
ney general, the Hon. herbert G.. Barber
of Bratteboro, caused 1t to be known
that although he had published his deci-
sion not to be candidate for renomina-
tion, he might take the place again, If it
came to him. At that time the Hon.
Frank c. Archibald of Manchester was
the only candidate in sight, and we sup
posed he would have plain sailing
There has been a hint that politics fig
ured in the selection Of States Attorney
Allen Martin Of Chittenden county to
prosecute the Bennington clubs, when
Mr.. Archibald is the states attorney for
Bennington county. Considering all the
facts in the case and the length of time
that elapsed since the first of the year
before anything was done about these
bold violations of the law, we must con
TESS a number of things need to be ex-
planned to clear up the whole situation.
This is the condition of affairs when
the Hon. Elmer johnson of ST. Adams
announces his candidacy for the office of
attorney general, his statement appear
ing in another column. There is some.
thing about former Senator Johnson
platform that carries the average man
along with it. 1t is short. 1t Is TO the
point 1t is fearless 1t hes the right
sort of stuff in it. That must be the kind
of man behind it.
Moreover, Senator johnson seems to
be on what most of us probably will say
is the right side of most questions He
wants the war won as most of us would
have it won, so it will stay won. He has
thought to 60 farther than some Of you
have thought by demanding the suTren-
der of the kaiser. He has always been
opposed to the open saloon He is now,
az would naturally be expected, for ma
tional prohibition He favors political
Justice for women. He stands as an ex-
ponent of the fearless and impartial en-
forcement of the law, but is not in favor
of any spy system.
That is the kind of attorney general
Vermont wants. If Mr.. johnson can
show the people of the state as a whole
he is that kind of man, it will go far
to put him in the Office in question. As
we recall his service as states attorney
and as senator, he was that kind of
man. We have every reason to believe
he is that sort of man Burlington

CURRENT COMMENT
vermont's Tale Production.

The organization of a new tale com
pany with a capitalization of 100000 to
carry on business in Washington eoun-
ty towns is another reminder of the
wealth that lies in our Vermont hillsides
Tale mining and copper mining are be-
coming two of the important industries
of the state. Big plants are in operation
in Granville, Rochester, johnson and 9th
err towns, reducing tale to the toilet pow
der which is in use in homes all over the
world. Within few years Vermont win
become the big asbestos producing state
of the union. We have the deposits in
the mountains Of Orleans and Lamoille
counties and perhaps elsewhere Vermont
is already at the head of the states in
the production of marble and granite,
ranks second to Pennsylvania in slate,
and is coming forward with a rush in
turning out talc.--Brattleboro Reformer.

In the art of camoufage the Germans
ire expert Notice, for instance, their
official reports of their defeat in the
Marine salient. The reports read as if
things were going as the German board
Df strategy had intended them to 60.
Along with the official reports are to be
slassed the newspaper comments of the
defeat which declare that it is the pur-
pose of the German general staff to deci-
mate the allies forces to such an extent
that victory will be made easier for Ger
many. Defamation of the allies, mind
Tou, when the United States is pouring
troops into Europe at the rate of 100000
/ month, while Germany by raking and
lcraping cannot maintain its electives
10 the normal level. The German people
are very supplemented if they believe
what is being prepared for their mental
consumption from day to day. Indeed,
there must be some very serious doubt
IN the minds of many people in that
country when they read between the
lines of their officials reports and of the
comments of their newspapers.

Four Years Ago To-day.

On July 20, 1914, Austria began her
attack upon Serbia, having issued dec
laration of war on the day preceding
and thus plunged the world into vortex
Of carnage and misery.
The issue at stake between these two
countries was one that might have been
settled by single inch Of concession
from the Austrian side Many time in
history the world has seen far more diff
ficult questions settled without shot in
anger Our own amicsble settlement Of
the Trent affair which threatened clash
with England during the Civil war, the
Anglo French solution of the Fashoda
embroglio, and the speedy adjustment Of
the friction between Great Britain and
Russia over the Dogger bank episode are
instances in point. But Austria was not
willing to do what greater nations have
80 frequently done in matters more vi
tally affecting their national honor, and
humanity has undergone four years Of
unmeasured suffering In consequence.
When one glances back over these AS
months Of strife and destruction, how
insignificant the immediate pretext APP
pears In the general welter Of world
problems, it has vanished from sight al
together No one now thinks or cares
much about the Serajeyo assassination
or who was responsible for it, In the
free nations of the world the thoughts of
men are directed rather to the task of
roofing out forever the real and under
lying cause of this great cataclysm,
which is the arrogant ambition of the
Teutonic race.
Germany is the arch-culprit. Austria,
as subsequent events have Individually
shown, was mere stool-pigeon in the
crime. Already she has paid dearly for
her despicable part In the whole affair,
being reduced to German vasssage, half
starved to death, and placed utterly be-
yond the hope of ever rising to the posi-
tion Of a frst-class power again. But
the chief conspirator, even after four
years of struggle which has taxed
Prussian endurance to the utmost, still
stands as defiant as ever Berlin has
still its lesson to learn, and that lesson
can be driven home in only one way. It
must be written by the allied armies and
fleets in letters Of blood and iron so
plainly that even a Hohenzollern can un-

The grade crossing over the Central
Vermont railroad track at Riverton
West Berlinl has long been considered
place Of great hazard, especially for
Fehicles approaching from the southerly
tide of the crossing, as the view of the
track on the right is hidden to such an
ixtent that the approach of train could
not be seen. Moreover, the intervening
hill might deaden the sound of whistle
10 much that proper warning would not
be given. The terrible accident which
look place there late Tuesday afternoon
MOULD prove convincingly the necessity
pf protecting the crossing by means Of a
bell signal or bar to be raised and low

ID would seem to be the placing of bell

Of train. The installation of the equip
nent should be done at the earliest pos
rble moment.

Where Conveys Are Needed.

The allies cannot afford to have any
more of these great transports sent to
the bottom. Recently three of them left
New York in 80 hours, carrying, it may
be assumed, 10000 men. The enemy
knows that he is well-nigh powerless to
interfere with these eastbound ships pro.
oeeding at high speed and closely guard
ed by warships Of even greater speed.
But if he can torpedo them on the return
voyage, when they are escorted for day
and then instructed to run for American
ports, he will keep at sea with relays of
submarines until there is not another
Justicia ahoat.
The reasons for the failure of the allied
navies to furnish convoy during the last
six months are clear enough. A million

Dartmouth has not always been the cen
ter of the best in our state life, but some

number of our people into contact with
Dartmouth in q new way Besides, deal
of good work has been done in the way
of etiecting a thorough understanding
between Dartmouth and the secondary

has been brought closer to all of us,

that the Americans outfought the enemy

forces of the enemy and after being com
PEELED to fight virtually without cessa-

which were considered fairly equal, the
Americans did at least as we'll as Ger

TROUBLE ON THE BORDER
 HAS ABOUT CEASED
GOVERNOR GALES PROMISES TO STAMP CUT THE ACTIVITIES OF GERMAN PRoPA-
 GANDlSTs.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Official re- ports to the war state departments today emphasized that the border trouble at Nogales, Arizona, will soon end if it has not already ceased
 Reports from Major General HoG- brook. in command on the border, said quiet had been restored State department dispatches told of satis- factory results from the conference between Brigadier General Gabell and Governor Gales.
 At the Mexican embassy here it was stated that Governor Gales could be counted upon to stamp out the activ- ities of the German propagandists in Sonora
 Such information as the state re- ceiyed on the forcible entry of armed Mexicans into the American consulate at Nogales Sonora, and the woundins of American Vice Consul Tooley, in dicated that the act was that of ir- responsible persons and not the Mex ican military.
 The violation of the consulate is now under investigation but there is every disposition on the part of the officials here to treat the Nogales as- fair as purely local incident Which should not be elevated to an inter- national issue.
 The arrival of endorsements for the American garrison and patrol guards. from nearby armp posts and camps, has tended to relax the ten sion.
 General Gabell remained at mili- tary headquarters all day directing ;he location of reinforcement Anoth- er conference between General Gabcll and General Gales was held at the little fooUEridge which spans an arroyo on the international line After the conference the American command . CT announced that he and the AIexI- can military governor had .reitered the statements made at their first conference yesterday General Cal les statement that he now had suffi- cient troops to maintain order on the Mexican side was accepted by Gen eral Cabell who expressed complete confidence in the Mexican governor and his ability to maintain order.
