To Our Subscribers

To Our Subscribers
In deciding to restrict free calls to the exchange
i'm which they originate, and make calls between ex-
changes subject to toll charges tried to be just to
the individual telephone users hereabouts, and, at
the same time not to discriminate against subscrib-
in other parts of the state or other parts of the
territory of the New England Telephone Tele-
graph Company
The toll rates announced to go into effect on Feb
ruary |, computed on the same mileage basis that
prevails elsewhere in territory. That they will
materially increase the telephone bills Of some of
our subscribers is undeniabe, provided these sub
scrbers make as many calls to outside exchanges
it has been their habit to make
On the other hand, the majority of subscribers
are not going to be affected, or, at most only very
slightly, because they rarely, ever, their tele-
phone except for local calls. 1t seemed unfair there
fore, to levy increased charge upon such SUBJ
scrbers to help pay for what is essentially toll
vice. *eEaer
The man who claims his telephone service, under
the proposed schedule is going to cost him $500
year, may be exaggeratng the effect of its applica-
ton; but, assuming that his statement is literally
correct doesn't it prove that the price he pay
ing is wholly disproportiOnate to the service render
ed and to that which his neighbor pays? AS addi-
tional is needed should it not be paid by him
rather than collected in general increase of rates!
In large free service areas these inequalities are
bound to develop. Some subscribers make from 20
to so calls per day; others make at all pos
sibly one month or one week In other words,
the great number of toll calls made by a, COM
paratvey few callers.
AS the number of telephones in this territory
increased, this nequtable condition was bound to
be still further emphasized; the fairest adjustment,
therefore, seemed to be the adoption of the toll
schedule already in force in other parts OF Vermont
and other parts of the territory served by this Com
pany.

DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
BY HAROLD A. LAMB
Of the viqiIantes.

Your Liberty bond-whether II Is for
$50 or SCOOPS your savings. To
sell Il Is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep your bond, the more
valuable II Is going to be.
II does no good to Uncle Sam TO
subscribe TO his loan, and then sell the
amount of your subscription. Many
of us have strained ourselves to buy
the bonds. and necessity may force
some of us to get the money back.
But the way to do this Is not To sell
u bond. Dishonest sharpers will take
your bonds and give you, say, $50 for
the 500.
II you must have money, go to n re
liable bank or broker. They will lend
you 500 on the 500. and the interest
on you bond will nearly pay the In
terest on the money they lend you
Then ny paying the loan, you can have
the bond back.
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them

BRAVADO AND THE WAR
BY ROBERT A
Of the viqilantcs.

Recently during I'm intermission Mt
the movies q performer came out and
sang with gusto n song, which pleased
the audience about 'Pershins Crossing
the Rhine" Every few days one reads
headlines In the newspapers proclaim
Ing that nine Americans have rcpulsed
or vnnquished 30 Germans. This Is
balrful talk. Our delay in the produc.
ton of ships and airplancs and guns
may have been unavoidable, seeing
that some people are thanking God
that the United States entered the war
u%Sprepared, but we should ut least re-
fIAin from bravado, stop boasting OF
what we are going to do and recognize
the gravity of our undertaking. j
heard AZ American officer high In com.
mand say not long ago. IF our troops
ever reach Berlin, when they come to
Il certain b~uilding-thc quarters of the
German military stan, let them lift
their hats" He spoke from the point
of view Of military prowcss.
1t Is meet for Americans to bear In
mind that all other wars which they
cr any other people have fought were
pild's play compared with this the
most terrible ard relentless contest In
history, and that their part in 1t has
only just begun. Let us cease To hug
the doluSiOn that our troops are "over
there 10 show the others how to fight
ana that all will soon he Ovcr but the
| shouting. Let MS open Il minds to
I the grim truth that this war which we
have pledged ourselves to win Is like
~ to be Il supreme test of American
energy, endurance aud sclf-sncriiice
and 10 cost thousands of American
lives. We are all of the belief that nc
oman Is Drawer than an American, but
it Is indispensable" that we appreciate
the quality of the Zoe AGAINST whom
we are pittcd that he Is the arch-iiend
Of military competency and power, the
ruthless, unwcarying embodiment of
mastery force and resistance, IA mon
stcr of rcsourcefulncss such as the
world has never seen.
The prophecy that Pershing will
cross the Rhine had better be post
poncd until he arrives In sight of H.
and the confidence that two of Uncle
Sans soldiers can handle three OF the
enemy be put In cold storage until q
later stage of the conflict.

the final round and each appeared
willing to let the other take 1t easy.
The decision was a draw.
The scientific bout OF the evening
was the final card, Knockout" Jones
of A company winning popular de-
cision over Cyclone" Knopp, a cor
poral in b company. Both men are
experienced boxers, Jones having APP
peared in several fast mixes on the
Coast in recent years, while Knopp
has appeared against the best boxers
in St Paul. While Jones was the
aggressor throughout the first round,
his opponent, with clever sidestep-
ping and ducking, kept away from his
swings and landed several taps as he
moved away from his opponent The
round was even. Employing his left
hook and right and left uppercut to
good advantage in the last two
rounds, Jones had all the best of the
argument, landing almost at will in
the final clash. The bout vas fast
and clever and proved fitting eli
max to an evening of wholesome
amusement.

whether or not the entente powers

Should Emperor Climb on Liberal Band

Washington.-That Kaiser Wilhelm
may desert the German militarists for
the liberals is solution of the politi-
cal tangle suggested in Washington
Sunday by the extremely wide pub
Iicity given in Germany to the presi-
dents war aims speech. No official
will predict such an outcome.
''The speech is father of the
thought" said an official in talking
of it.
1t is carefully pointed out that such
a reform would meet only the first
of the allied terms. All of them must
be complied with before the last gun
is fired.
Official dispatches and press sum-
maries received here during the day
have convinced officials that their plan
for getting the presidents speech be-
fore the German people has borne
fruit.
The speech was cabled in full to
neutral countries adjacent to Germany
and widely printed there. 1t is pre-
sumed that the speech was so well
spread about Germany's borders that
the military powers in control of Ger
many's rigid press censorship hesitateC
to suppress or mutilate the text, as
was done with previous messages. This
itself marks weakening of the ole
system. 1t is not believed that weak
ness would have been shown in this
respect without complaisance in The
