Sulphur in Alaska.

The known sulphur deposits of Alaska
are Of volcanic origin and lie in the belt
of active volcanoes that extends through
the Aleutian islands and Alaska PENN
sula. The deposits on Unalaska and
Akun islands and near Stepovak bay, on
Alaska peninsula, were examined in the
summer of 1917 by A. G. Maddren of the
United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior The examinations
showed that though there is some sulphur
at each place examined there is little
hope that any Of it can be proftably
mined at present or in the near future,
for the deposits are of small areal extent
and are probably shallow, supplies and
labor are not at hand, the open season is
short, the difficulties of transporting the
material from mines to ships would be
great, and the haul to the larger markets
would be long. A brief summary of the
more important results of the investiga
tion of these deposits has been published
and viii be sent on application to the d.
rector of the geological survey, Wash

VERMONT AND THE FOURTH LIB
ERTY LOAN

Tentative announcement of the condi-
tions of the fourth Liberty loan place
the size of the issue at six billions of
dollars and at the same rate as the third
loan, which was Az per cent The
amount of the Issue is much greater than
any other yet foated by the United
States government and probably larger
than ever attempted by any government
in all time. In fact, it seems at first
thought to be so great as to make the
task of raising it insurmountable How
ever, the will of the American people to
win the war is so strong and the tinan-
cial resources of the country are SO great
that the task can be accomplished. All
that is needed is the earnest cooperation
of at least twenty-five millions of people,
and the goal will be reached.
1t is probable that Vermont's portion
of the loan will be practically third
larger than the states quota has been
on any of the three previous issues. Yer
mont came up to the mark on the three
previous occasions and business was not
unsettled by the investment, or by the
drain on the finances of the people of the
state. Affairs are moving along without
a serious handicap due to the calls made
on the resources Of the people. The re-
suits show the financial stability of the
people and institutions of Vermont and
they show, furthermore, that the state
will be able to take up its apportionment
Of the fourth Liberty loan without i'm
pairment of its own business. But we
must make up our minds to increase our
investments over and above the amounts
subscribed in each of the three previous
issues, In fact, increased subscriptions
are necessary in order TO bring about the
full subscription. Therefore, Vermont
people should make up their minds now
to invest still more heavily in this gilt.

thus far the net result of the costly Ger
man drive has been only to put the Ger
man army in perilous position. All is
not well. There is reason to believe that
the Teutonic military league does not
work satisfactorily. The treaty provides
that "the formation of the troops of the
various states of Germany and Austria
Hungary shall constitute one sole army,
which of course, must be under the SUI
preme command Of the German All-High-
est, Has he, then, used his power simply
to throw Austria Hungary into the fray
for the purpose of effecting diversion
of strength from the allied force that
faces his own army in France? Crazy as
he is, the military machinist appointed
by the German god would not do this I'M
less it were a matter of necessity. And
that is precisely what it may be, though
at the same time the Austrian emperor
and his crumbling cabinet may have made
the plunge in sheer desperation, with the
vain hope OF diverting the thought Of the
mass of the people from hunger, and that
of the Slavic populations from political
oppression. May we not expect to see
German prestige collapse with Austrian
failure, and German retreat follow Aus
trian defeat? The dual monarchy of the
Hapsburgs is riekety tyranny that has
earned its inevitable end at the hands OF
free nations, and the military machine
of the Hohenzollern is an inhuman in

CURRENT COMMENT

from Bellows Falls has sounded the key
note in the campaign which will have a
telling effect on others who aspire for
state Office.
The Rabbit plan should be the method
to adopt with other state officers The
start should be made in the governorship
contest and continue right down the line.
This is no time for political contests,
especially within the Republican ranks.

Candidates who have money to spend
furthering their political interests, should
use it in buying Liberty loans or war

aThe American Creed.

In response to an offer made by the
city Of Baltimore, through its mayor,
% prize of one thousand dollars for
the best creed for an American citizen,
several thousand people entered the con-
test. Several committees were appoint

submitted, and the final decision gave
the prize and the honor to William Tyler
Page, veteran employee of the House

arrangement Of phrases taken from the
constitution, the Declaration, speeches
by Webster, Lincoln, Hale, and Wash
ington, and the oath of allegiance. That
these sum up the essence of American.

the governed; a democracy in republic;
sovereign nation of many sovereign

The rising tide Of discomfort among

hopes and aspirations of the emperor
who dreamed dreams of conquest and of
Napoeonic success with arms No ma.
ton is willing to keep on fighting and
permit the master of it TO claim all the
richest OF the expected spoils; that is, no
nation will submit to such a program
without protest. Already such pro-
tests have been heard from both Bulgaria
and Turkey, while, ON the other hand,
Austria Hungary is clamoring for peace
under whatever terms are considered
honorable" by the central powers. 1t is
difficult to conceive Of what such an
honorable peace would be in the sight
Of the entente allies; but it is certain
that Turkey and Bulgaria have some
desires along annexation lines which will
not be satisfied with mere sops thrown
out to them by the kaiser. Then, on top
of that, is the war-weariness which af-
Hicts all the allies of Germany and un-
doubtedly Of Germany itself. There are
evidences Of growing storm among the
central powers, and the days Of arrogant
supremacy for the kaiser are passing
rapidly.

from the sheep extension business in

increase in production is being obtained
from the saving of eve lambs and the

1t is nothing short of arrogant mental
blindness which causes the emperor of
Germany to proclaim after IA months of
almost uninterrupted transportation of
American troops across the Atlantic
ocean that the German submarines will
be able to stop the flow, although the
proclamation probably portends still
greater efforts on the part of the Ger.
mans. Since the United States began
transporting troops over the 5000 miles
of trackless waste the undersea boats
have succeeded in sinking two out of 200
boats employed in transport service, and
ON those two occasions the loss of Amer
lean soldiers was very slight indeed.
These small accomplishments were done
by the Germans after they had put vir-
tually oil their submarine strength
at work on the one object of preventing
the passage of troop ships. In the IA
months approximately million and a
quarter Americans have been sent to Eu-
rope. And yet the Blusterer of Potsdam
tries to make his people believe that the
submarines can save Germany and him
self from defeat
