THE BOYS WORKING RESERVE.

A movement is on foot TO enlist Amer
lean boys in the United States boys
working reserve, the enrolment being
for work ON the farms and in the shops
The national enrolment week will start
on Monday, March Is, and will continue
for six days, the desire being to get boys
of fit age and physical condition to do
their part in some industry toward win
ming the war, While their older brothers
are off at the front or in the training
camps, these youngsters will be called
upon to work in some productive occupa-
ton to back up the soldiers and sailors
1t should be borne in mind that this is a
military organization, and the boys
who enlist in the reserve will be called
upon to do work only in shops or on
the farms. For Vermont boys TO enroll
in the United States boys working re-
serve they must make application to the
state director of the work, who is G. c..
Barnes of Norwich university, Northfield,
who, it is presumed will give whatever
further instructions are necessary.

In deciding 90 restrict its shipping TO
coastwise traffic is a rather disquletng
development from the standpoint of the
allies because il might be inferred there
from that the German submarine peril Is
growing in lis menace rather than dimin'
ishing, as has been reported, The reason
for SPANS action was, OF course, the
fear for the safety of her shipping from
the indiseriminate attacks of the u
boats, and inasmuch as Spain has got
along for three and half years without
restricting her traffic the wonder nat
urally rises whether the submarines are
threatening to get the upper hand of all
shipping in the waters contiguous TO
Europe, IL may be that Germany is
simply becoming more lawless than ever
and, in rage, is attacking the ships Of her
friends as well as her foes, Spain being
reckoned as friend OF the

Lieut.. Archibald Roosevelt, who is now
serving with the American forces in
France, has been jumped over one grade
and is now a full -fledged captain. There
was plenty of Roosevelt precedent for
jumping grades, for it was Theodore
Roosevelt who jumped Leonard B. Wood
over some SIS officers who, in the normal
course of promotion, would have been
advanced by slow process. Major Gen
eral Woods promotion, however, is now
loudly praised where it once was severe
ly criticized We have no doubt that
young Roosevelt has earned his promo
ton from second lieutenant to captain
during his service in France and, further
more, that he will fully justify the act
when the pinch comes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In Support of County tuberculosis Hos
initial

In support or County tuberculosis HOS
pital
Editor, Times: viii you please per-
NIT me through the columns of your pa
per to draw the attention of the voters
| of our city to matter of great i'm
portanee, which may not be generally
known and by some may have been for
gotten, but which nevert heless will have
to be acted on at our March election
The matter / have in mind is the bill
introduced at the last session of the gem
eral assembly by our representative, Mr..
Rowland 1t was enacted into law and
is known as Gan act to provide for the
establishment of county hospitals for tu-
berculosis."
At public hearing the bill was
strongly endorsed by men from all walks
of life, representing agriculture, manu-
featuring, the professions, benevolent,
fraternal and labor organizations, and
while it was thought that some of our
counties might get along without such
hospital, it was generally admitted that
Washington county certainly stood in
need of such an institution. 1t was fur
Their recognized and admitted that stone
workers were among the greatest suffer
ers from this dread disease. / am of the
opinion that our legislators, while look
ing to the interests of the whole state,
had the granite industry in mind par
ticularly when they passed this bill. /
am informed from good authority that
the only condition required to bring the
question to vote has been Tor certain
~ will be- complied with.
Believing that every voter in the coun-
ty should give careful consideration to
this question, few, II any, negative votes
should be cast in such places as Barre,
Barre Town, Montpelier, Mortified,
Waterbury and several other places The
question must appeal particularly to the
granite worker, both employee and EN-
ployer, and the stability of the granite
makes for the well being of
the county as whole.
I understand that the state, In allow |
ing as much as $40 per week for the |
of such patients as are I'M
able to pay for this treatment in the |
hospital, is going long way to en-
courage the building and equipping Of |
such institutions where they are most |
needed, but it must be remembered that |
the citizens must first decide if they |
want them, and that viii be determined |
by yes or no vote. A majority vote in
The affirmative will enable us to supply
1ne of our present-day greatest needs.
Now, Mr. Editor, while only desiring
1T this time to bring the matter to the
attention of the voters, / believe you
,ould render a public service which many
would appreciate if you would publish
his act in full thereby giving every citi-
zen an opportunity to vote intelligently.

The tragic death of Capt. Vernon Cas-
tie by fall with an airplane at the
United States aerial training ground near
Fort Worth, Tex, calls sharply to atten-
ton that, experienced or not, we human
beings have not yet wholly gained the
mastery of the air. Capt. Castle was
perhaps as well trained in locomotion
through the air as any man in the Unit
ed States, and perhaps in Europe too, be-
cause he had been flying for several years
and had seen war service on the western
front in Europe. 1t was while he was
attempting very difficult movement in
order to avoid collision that he lost con-
troll of his machine and was dashed to
the ground. The aeroplane is not yet
as safe vehicle of travel as the auto
mobile in spite of the protestations on
the part of some sviators that it is as
safe.

No explanation has been made as vet
how it happened that a German subma-
rine was lying in wait for the transports
of the northern coast of Ireland, al
though the statement has been made
that the attack was probably due to a
chance attack as the U-boat was cours-
ing about in that vicinity seeking any
and all kinds of prey. Despite that
statement there is still possibility that
the German admiralty did receive some
information that transports carrying
American soldiers were going by the
northern route and that submarines were
dispatched to that route in order 10 send
their deadly proiectiles into the bulls of
the great vessels. The sinking of the
Tuscsnia has not vet been sufficiently
explained, that i. to the satisfaction Of
al the American people. Many are
wanting to know If there are still some
leaks in Washington and some unknown
means q communication to Germany.

in Brattleboro on charge of interfering
wllfully and feloniously with the mill
tary forces of the United States by caus-
ing insubordination and disloyalty

young men in his class, a trial which
ended in disagreement of the jury and is
slated for retrial here Feb. 20, is under

We find in our mail lengthy review
of the case and appeal on behalf of the
so-called "pacifst pastor" as victim of
war "hysteria" sent out by the League
of Democratic Control" an organization
with headquarters IN Boston.
The league expresses itself that the
principle of religious liberty is involved.
1t has invested considerable money and
trouble to get its views TO the newspa-
pers of the state.
The League of Democratic Control
was never very much heard of, even in
Boston, where it has headquarters, until
the so-called Socialist riot there last fall,
when certain men in the uniform of the
army and navy of the United States
took exception to certain flags and ban
ners carried by the marchers in a Social
ist parade, which seemed to them insult
ing. and a disturbance resulted.
The general public and the press
seemed to think that those who Haunted
sentiments insulting the L. :. flag and
those who wear its uniforms got about
what they deserved.
