AMERICANS NOT EASILY TERROR
lied.

If the German admiralty expected to
spread a terrorism over the north Allan
tic coast of the United States it reck-
oned poorly on the mental calibre of the
American people To be sure, the Amer.
leans are apt to make great uproar
over the appearance of some real, live
submarines Of the enemy stripe just as
they have lot to say about school of
sharks which make their appearance off
the coast once in a while; but when it
comes down to the analysis of their real
feelings they take the German U-boats
just as much matter of course as they
do the sharks and they care as little
about them as they do about the sharks.
OF course, they have to have their little
furry over something new. The German
U-boats are new on this side of the At
lantic and they appeal to the circus
going spirit of the denizens Of the shore
regions Otherwise, there is little or no
impression on the people as whole, for
the people realize that it would take a
whole feet of submarines to make any
material inroads into shipping or render
the coast waters unsafe for travel in
spite of the best efforts that the United
States navy could do. Germany will
have to send over many more of the sea
wasps than she thus far has been able
to dispatch before the American people
take more than passing notice of the
visitation. In the meantime the Amer
lean people have confidence that the ma
val vessels are doing their full duty in
searching out the submarines

CURRENT COMMENT
A Halo for Hustle!

Food Administrator Herbert g. Hoover
arrived in London on Friday, on official
business. At 0 o'clock Saturday morning
he took over an untenanted house near
the American embassy, and two hours
later he had installed furniture and equip
ment and a staff of six stenographers
and Ia messenger boys, with arrange
ments made for Others to work in relays
day and night throughout Saturday and
Sunday. And the British food officials
are reported to have been amazed at this
eelerityl 1t should surprise nobody. 1t
is only another illustration of the nerve
racking hustle and hustle" for which we
Americans have been a good deal criti.
cized, at one time and another, by Euro.
pean tourists. 1t is merely an individual
instance, consistent with the rather ex-
peditious work Of the American Red
Cross, the Y, M, G. A., the Knights of
Columbus, the Salvation Army and 9th.
err organizations supplementing, along
non -combatant lines, the tolerably active
performance OF the United States war
and navy departments and their millions
Of supporters, during the last year
There is one important newspaper in
the German capitalize Berlner Tage
blatt-which, apparently disregarding the
wishes of the German government, ana
lyzes our conduct of the war after the
following fashions
ut is essentially war carried on with
the business calm of the American, and
now that the decision has been taken
with all his creative energy, the danger
does not lie in a European international
form of hate. It lies rather in the politi-
cal tenseness in the country, in the pur-
posef,il GOODNESS, in the all embracing or.
ganization, and the typical calm with
which the American is devoting himself
to the task Of relieving the allies, who
would otherwise break down in the mat
ter Of supplies, while at the same time
raising great army"
Probably this is near enough to the
truth to be acceptable as an explanation
Of some things. Leastwise, we Americans
like TO think so. In the meantime the
habit of hustle, which, SOLICITORS friends
from other lands have frequently warned
us, was sure to burn out our energies in
few years, appears to have its compen-
sations Also, If current reports from
the Aisne- Marine fight may serve as a
criterion, American energy is by no
means decadent as yet. All honor to in.
telligent hustle; it delivers the goods.

The Ex-czar,s Death.

The Russian wireless dispatch report
ting the execution Of the former car
Of Russia has an appearance of authenti-
city which may cause its general accept
ance. Yet in some minds the previous
stories may linger as not entirely dis
posed of, On June 81 there was report
from Stockholm that the ex-ezar had
been killed, one from Kiev asserting con-
tirmation Of his death at the hands Of
bolshevik troops during their retreat on
Ekaterinburg, another from Darmstadt
saying that the Russian minister there
had received a dispatch from Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin at Moscow announc-
ing the murder Of Nicholas few DAYS
earlier between Ekaterinburg and Perm
by members Of the Red Guard. And the
same day this different account came
from Geneva; The Ukraine bureau AT
Lausanne announced to-day it has re.
ceived confirmation Of the report that
the bolshevik authorities at EkateTin-
burg condemned Nicholas Romanoff, the
former Russian emperor, to death after
short trial and then shot him"
1t is strange that this last statement
is substantially the same as the new re-
port, with this exception--that the date
of execution is changed from day in
the last week Of June to July IT, The
difference needs explanation But that
which is of the first Importance is the
maintenance of the assertion that Mich
as did not meet death by lawless vio-
lence, having been condemned by official
authority with something like process
Of law. Unless and until the contrary
can be proved we must assume that the
action Of the Ural regional council was
fair and regular from the point Of view
Of revolutionary tribunal.
Perhaps nothing became the fallen
sovereign so we'll in life as his leaving
Of it. He was not so much Of an evil
doer as many Of his predecessors, but
he was weaker Of will than any, and
consequently useless for great place and
purpose There is no denying his good
impulses. The trouble was the instabili-
ty which 50 often prevented him from
carrying them into effect. Though bear
ing the title Of autoerat, he had not
force of character sufficient to curb the
corruption or overcome the self-seeking
habits Of the court and government into
which he was born. As czareviteh he
did well during the famine Of 1891, being
at his own request made president of the

In another column of to-day's paper
will be found an announcement by Ma
son S. Stone of Montpelier that he is a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for lieutenant governor of Vermont. Mr..
Stones statement is direct and not filled
with protestations of what he intends to
do if elected to the high position which
he seeks. Indeed, Mr.. Stone takes the
attitude that the less attention that is
paid to political considerations in Yer
mont this year the better for the state
and for the nation in a time Of war, al
belt, of course, there must be the usual
succession Of elections under the form of
government Mr. Stone has been in the
public eye Of Vermont for long time,
is, perhaps, one Of the most widely
known men in the state; and, conse-
quently, the voters Of the state will be
able to judge Of his qualifications from
his record rather than from promises
such as candidate is sometimes forced
to make. He already has strong offers of
support and is bound to be strong can
didate for the nomination.

A rather good joke on sugar hoarder

fell from the woman's bag, which she
was carrying on her arm, and one of
them broke. From the tear there poured

The Brattleboro Reformer prints some
statistics which indicate that Barre has
sent more men to war service and war
work than any of the other large places
in the state, although Montpelier and
Windsor have lost greater percentage
of polls since 1915. Bennington, Bur
lington, Rockingham and Rutland were
the large places which have felt the in
roads of the war least While sorry to
lose SO many men for the timebeing,
Barre is by no means downcast and the
people Of the city look forward with
hopefulness to resumption of their
stride when the war is ended. In the
meantime Barre is happy to be doing its
duty along the line Of furnishing men
for actual war service and for the essen
tial industries connected with the war.
