CURRENT COMMENT
Keep Your Liberty Bonds.

1t is not only desirable that people
should buy Liberty bonds, but it is the
part of patriotism to keep them, is the
text from which Secretary McAdoo
breaches. The treasury department
learns that citizens holding government
bonds ARE being approached from time
TO time by agencies who have, with too
frequent success. induced them to sell
their Liberty loan bonds and to take IN
exchange securities which in a number
of cases have been of very question:
Bile value"
The situation so depicted was to have
been expected. A patriotic army of
over 100000 bond buyers in this COM
try" as the secretary of the treasury
puts it. means that millions of citizens
responded to the appeal of the govern
ment with the purpose to help win the
war. This has had the effect of slowing
down the sale of securities. Naturally
promoters would like to tap this great
reservoir of capital which the govern
ment has gathered for its own reinforce
ment 1T is of the utmost Importance
that the investments of this army Of
patriots should be safeguarded in every
possible way, and that their action in
lending their money to their govern
ment should not be taken advantage of

by irresponsible people seeking solely a
profit for themselves
II Uncle Sam pays four per cent and
the securities seller offers much more,
a temptation is presented that appeals
to people who mist face the increasing
costs of living. In some cases govern
ment bonds must be sold, but they should
not be disposed of by any who can keep
them The bond holders should realize
that the only genuine help he gives his
government is by keeping his bond as an
investment as long as it is possible to
do so"
Most of us took government bonds
with the intent to buy all we could of
them then and later. To a greater or
less degree this involved sacrifice, but it
also gave a sound investment, Interest
may be held up on other things but it
never will be on these bonds. We knew
at the start that the market offered
for getting larger return
on our money. but we also appreciated
that the government appealed to us ON
patriotic grounds. Into the transaction
we went with eyes wide open and stir
ring of the heart.
The purpose with which we began, and
the decision to continue of that mind,
were good then and are good now. There
should be but one answer to those who
tempt us to leave high ground for lower,
and it should be this: The government
needs my money, pays for its use and
it shall continue TO have the benefit of

ity. He saw and talked with contingents
which included many Vermont boys, and
while the time for interviews was neces-
sarily short, he heard from their own
lips the names of the Vermont towns
from which they came. Barre, Burling
ton, Brattleboro, ST. Adams, and so on.
The experience stirred him TO still higher
resolve that anything he might say or
do would have for its prime purpose the
advocacy of ample equipment. For the
time being, he went on. America will do
well to send no more men across, indicat
ing thereby that ammunition, guns and
clothing must be brought together in
greater quantities before another large
exodus takes place. He took issue with
the declaration that England and France
can well supply our army with big guns
for the present and expressed the opinion
that neither is actually able to take on
the added burden.

CONGRESSMAN DALE's MESSAGE.

/ CONGRESSMAN DALE'S MESSAGE.
Guns, more guns and stil more guns
was the burden OF the interesting war
talk by Congressman Porter II. Dale be.
fore Barre audience last evening We
must have guns TO win the war-wo
must have guns to blaze path for our
infantry; we must have guns TO back
them up as they advance; we must have
| guns TO hold the enemy from counter
attacking. Gunsb big guns-are the es.
sental thing at the present stage of our
war participation. We must not wait
for Great Britain and France to furnish
us our artillery; we must 20 ahead and
| furnish IL ourselves. Without guns the
French were driven back in the early
stages of the war; without heavy guns
the British were forced back before the
onrush OF the German war machine. But
when the French and the British got
their big guns into action they forced
back the Germans at Verdun and they
pulverized the Wanted defenses Of the
Germans on the Somme, and they also
blew of the top of Vimy ridge and en-
abled the brave Canadian infantry to
storm that important and dominating
height A nation can have an army of
ever so great size and well drilled, but
without the big guns and against big
guns it is impossible for them TO make
Roadway. Big guns and plenty of them
will win this war; and the war is going
to be decided right on the 7O0.mile front
from the North sea to the border of |
Switzerland. The whole thread of CON
viction through Dale's talk was the ne
cessity of frenzied preparation in the
building and the massing Of big guns
and the munitions to go with them: We
must have the guns.
In making that plea for more guns
Dale impressed his hearers
with his sincerity, his honesty of conyic-
ton and his freedom from petty politics
His address throughout was tinctured
with the spirit of patriotic devotion to
the government, but il carried with it
the idea that there nevertheless ought
TO be greater speed in certain lines of ac-
tivity in order to make the strength of
he United States fully felt. In carry.
ng that message he is doing good ,
work, justifying his visit to the battle q
ronts last summer; and We wish to re- &
'eat what we have previously asserted
hat to be effectual in the channels where T,
,rodding is most needed the message Y
ught to be carried to Washington. We r
ope, therefore, that the time may be-
ONE opportune soon for him to address v
is fellow congressman on the phases of 5
he war as they appeared to him during I
is visit to Europe.

The American troops in France have
mot yet been engaged in any big engage
ment but they have been going through
some of the hot minor actions incident
to trench life. This much is CLEANED
from the reports received from General
Pershing of late. 1t is to be noted that
mo report is made of wounded men or
missing, but it is to be taken for granted
that where there were fatalities there
must have been other casualties of war,
including wounded and those taken pris-
oner. As nation we are almost through
the experimental stage m conducting
warfare on a grand scale. Presently we
shall pass onto the stage of equal activity
with the British. the French and the Ital-
ian nations. We are bracing ourselves
for the shock.

Announcement that the imports of the
United States during 1917 were nearly
one-half of the exports tends to disabuse
the minds of some people that we as a
nation were distributing large percent
age of our production and receiving none
in return. Moreover, the statistics just
revealed by the department of commerce
inform us Americans that we are yet a
long way from being sufficient unto our
selves.

Another straw showing that all is not
going well in Austria is the evacuation
of a considerable slice of Italian terri
tory. An army of invasion would not
lelinquish territory unless its base of
supplies was becoming shaky or unless
the opposing army had become tremen-
dously superior. There is no reason to
believe that the latter is the case. Hence
il is taken for granted that Austria is
permitted the world to know

There have been so many charges
throughout Vermont that certain people
were boarding sugar, coal and other prod
ucts considered essential to living that
it would be nice thing for the food and
fuel administrators of Vermont TO de
fine what boarding is, that is, to what
stage ordinary prudence in supplying can
go before it becomes boarding. II is gen
orally admitted that boarding is bad
thing and has tendency to reduce sup
plies and increase prices in the days of
shortage Therefore, many people would
like definition of boarding.

Senator Chamberlain declares that
President Wilson does not know the
truth about the war preparations by the
United States. There is some doubt
whether anybody knows the whole truth
about it, or enough to set himself up

sum total of their information which
will be valuable in guiding the nation to
win the war. The effort to get together
is at least worth the try.
