With the Christmas rush over, let the
ladies of Barre resolve to start the new
year by doing their share of Red Cross
work.
Many ladies have come to take out
work and the attendance at the rooms
has been better on the last few days,
but there still remains plenty OF work
for many more Let all get busy and
there viii be no worry about getting
out our quota,by Feb /.
The knitting is not progressing as fast
as it should and there is still consider
able yarn to be given out. The 500 socks
will not be completed before Feb. I'M
less more people get busy on them, but
il is expected there will be more work
ers now that Christmas is over, and I'M
doubtedly an effort will be made by all
now to rush the work this next month.
Come and get as much yarn as you think
YOU can use in the next three or four
weeks.
If Barre should see 60 or 20 ladies
in the Red Cross sewing rooms three
times week, we would be able to do all
the work for Washington county, but
with our faithful few we have always
been able to take our allotment and have
shipped our work at the appointed time

One of the most powerful organizations
undermining the authority OF the United
States government is the United States
government itself. At a time when the
secret service and the department Of
justice are suppressing seditious or treas
unable newspapers the government is
circulating free, without postage or other
charge, pamphlets which it has printed
itself, attacking its own war activities.
This is tragedy and comedy combined.
Was there ever a more ludicrous illustra-
ton of the folly of carrying the principal
of free speech to a false and extreme con-
clusion?
We refer. OF course, to the speeches Of
Senator La Toilette. A dispatch to the
New York Sur from Washington is our
authority for saying hat mate La Fol-
lette has ordered from the government
printing office 5000 900 copies Of his
and implying the failure of the Liberty
loan, and that under his ranking privilege
he is circulating these speeches broadcast
through The country. The Sun dispatch
says: 9Th tremendous orders placed by
Senator La Toilette at the government
printing office v seriously interferred
with other important work there. In order
to get out the 300. 900 copies the Senate
folding and mailing room has been obliged
to work day and night"
Congress has passed a postage law
which is going to make it very difficult for
the Outlook to circulate articles among
its readers supporting the government and
backing the Liberty loan. 1t has done
this because 1t says the post office de-
partment does not pay expenses. At the

For man. years Russians had been

showed little sign Of orening. Suddenly
1t fell to pieces and the- rushed into a
new and empty world. in which every
thing had to be made from the beginning.
They were experienced rebels, and knew
perfectly well how to behave against tyr
ants. but not how to work toe sther in a
peaceful society Of their own making.
They knew how to fight one sovereign.
but not how to manage that moro COM

eign people.
In the dizzy shifting Of values which
followed, It was as II all Russia were q

swung round to the right. Radicals Of
yesterday were conservatives of today and
reactionaries of tomorrow. The old regime.
with its glitter and pun%ctiliousness, ac-
complished gentlemen with pointed black
boards, old generals in long pale blue
overcoats with scarlet facings, the sort OF
people who make the background in Toll
stoy's novels, disappeared altogether.
The liberal intelligensia swung off to
the edge Of the scene. and up to the foot
lights suddenly crowded soldiers, peas

A1sace-Lorraine and the Rhineqold1


The world Is beginning to realize that the
of Alsace-Lorraine does not con-
Germ France alone but really dominates the
whole war. With the possible exception
OF the restoration Of Belgium, all the other
wal aims OF the allies depend more or less
upon that me-. We can never be sure
mat there will be NO next time" and
the world cannot be safe for democracy
unless Prussia Is compelled to give up
what she stole from France in 1871. From
the point OF view OF right, this is obvious.
II would be no use pretending that we
stand Tor the right of III peoples to dis
pose OF themselves II we did not begin
py hberating h TWO provinces Prussia
mas conquered and Is holding by force.
But the liberation Of Alsace-Lorraine Is
equally vital from an industrial stand
point; 1t Is, I believe, the key to the
economic policy we must enforce upon the
world II we want to put an end to any
sort Of aggressive Imperialism.
l Will try to make this clear. first by
moving that the possession OF Alsace-
Lorraine is .he economic basis OF what we
call Prussian militarism. and in the second
place by outlining the economic changes
Which will result from the return OF
Alsace-Lorraine to France. Wagnerites
Will remember that the Prussian worm
Father derived its power from the posses
sion Of a certain treasure named the
Rhinegold, which the German gods, with
characteristic Bismarckian unsc. upulous-
ness, had stolen from the unfortunate
Nibelung. Now the R%hinegold actually
exists. French Lorraine. with the adjoin-
Ing Sarre valley, contains. besides an I'm
portant coal field, the richest deposits OF
Iron ore in central Europe. Sue is the
treasure Prussia has succeeded in wiring
ng from Its legitimate possessor. The
whole district was French in 1914. A year
after. at the Vienna congress, Prussia
availed herself of Napoleon's second down
fall to lay her hands on the Sarre valley,
Then came the war of 1901. This time
Prussia took hold of what she thought was
the whole of the industrial wealth of Lor-
raine. She would have asked for Briey as
well, had it been known at the time that
western Lorraine also contained import
ant deposits. However, by far the best
part OF the Rhinegold has been in hel
hands for more than As years. 1t is or
that basis that she has built up the whole
Of her industrial Imperialism.
Let me quote here some figures. 1t /:

The Government Against Itself.
From the Outlook.

same time 1t permits a seditious senator
to mail without charge speeches attacking
the government. We do not understand
the justice of sue a proceedings.
The difficulties in the way Of censorinR
speeches made in the United States Sem
ate or on the floor of the House are very
great. Indeed, the constitution forbids
such a censorship. AT present a member
Of congress may libel any citizen or utter
any reasonable or other criminal senti-
mcnts and cannot be called to account for
them because of the constitutional proyi-
sion that no member of congress NAV ba
punished by a civil court for words spoken
in debate. Having uttered his libelous or
reasonable words, he can call on tho
government to print them and distribute
them at public expense. Now, while a
censorship cannot be invoked to cure such
a stupid and intolerable evil as that ex-
posed in the La Toilette case, there il q
simple cure which can be easily applied.
Repeal the franking privilege; Issue to
each member of congress a certain num-
Der Of postage stamps, which shall be
and charged to the legislative department.,
for his use in his w mail; cease distrib-
uting public documents free; put them in
all public libraries for consultation by tho
public; display a list OF them at all post
offices; and let the private citizen who
wants one or more Of them purchase them.
at cost Of paper and mailing, by ordering
them of his postmaster.
The abuse illustrated by the La Toilette
case would thus be done away. and yet
every citizen who wanted the speeches
OF congress could get them easily and
quickly.
