America is awakening to the fact
that we are at war. We are also
realizing that our enemies are not all
overseas. Those at home will have
to make constant warfare against
the most despisable enemies-those
who strike in the back and work in
hidden ways. Spies, traitors and
those who SOW the seeds of pro-
German sentiment are with us and
we must fight them to a finish. No
more soft sentiment of free speech
and free action when it is used to in
jure and retard war work and the
safety of our republic. Every pat
riotic American should be on the
watch for such enemies and promptly
put in force the means to suppress
such work. This is a time when the
love of home and country must be
protected by a firm hand. "Ameri-
cans be on your guard" should be a
watchword for those at home, and
when we see an enemy strike, strike
quick.

People who love their stomachs
better than they do the American
boys are the ones not doing their
damndest to win the war.-Benning-

The efforts of such people are
mainly given to evade the requests
of the government to conserve and
save food. Their thoughts center
in themselves and their patriotism
never rises above their stomachs.
We have them in every community.
They will buy food substitutes be-
cause they have to and then feed
them to the chickens and pigs. Such
people ought to be placed where
they would help bear the burdens Of

Island Pond should have a service
flag and a complete roster of the
boys from here who have joined the
colors and those who will in the
months to come. We owe it to those
who are going to the battlefelds and
are offering their lives for their
country; we owe it to ourselves to
show that we honor those brave boys
and we owe it to posterity that an
accurate record is made of those who
go out from our homes to make the
supreme sacrifice. Let's get busy
and have a service flag.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1918-04-26

We believe the censorship of news
from the battlefelds, especially re-
ports of casualties. is wrong and un-
called for. 1t seems extremely sense
less. The argument that it is to
keep the enemy from tearing about
our troops and positions is without
bottom, and the people are begin
ming to know that the Germans
know the number and position OF the
American troops, and a report sent
home could give nothing to the
enemy in that line. A report sent
home giving name and address of
killed, wounded and missing would
relieve much painful suspense and in
no way furnish information to the
enemy. We who have boys on the
battletields believe it is u due to
receive this much information.

Island Pond has made a creditabIe
showing in the Third Liberty Bond
drive and raised its quota Tuesday.
The fact that we went over thus

We all should have local pride in this
work, and it will detract in no ems
from the great patriotic motive that
makes US willing loaners to Uncle
Sam. This work. however, needs
system and direction, and its a mat
ter of local pride that we have men
