Official Washington opinion of Boil
shevik Foreign Minister Trotzky's de-
rision for no war and still no peace with
Germany IS that Trotzky has placed
Germany in military and diplomatic
predlcament
Movements Of German troops from
the Russian front have been stopped and
it Is believed by military men here that
no further withdrawal Of forces can 10
made until Berlin decides on q policy
toward the BOlshevik. such official re-
ports as have been received do not say
clearly whether the rehabilitation Of
Russian troops has been continued but
they do indicate q reorganization of the
Red Guard.
Germany by repudiating the moan
nexation policy officials here think, has
widened the breach with the Socialists
who cry for peace. They also think
Germany will he forced to 20 to the aid OF
the Ukrainians il the Bolshevilsi attack
them
The additional representation is gained
at the expense Of the regular Socialist
organization which at the beginning Of the
war was the largest party in the Reichs-
tag, but which has now fallen to second
rank behind the Catholic Centre. -Four
Socialist members Of the Reichstag
Brandes, Dr. Erdmann, Huettmann and
.Jaeckcl, went over to the radicals at the
beginning Of the year
Recent elections at Leipzig brought
eighteen Radical Socialists into the city
council. The regular Socialists secured
only six places. The Radical Socialists
who thus formed the third strongest
party IN the council, demanded the sec
ond vice-presidency as their quota of the
presiding officers but the non-Socialist
aldermen, TO whom the Radical Social
lists are anathema, united with the regular
Socialists to give this Office to one Of the
six moderate Social Democrats, Whereupon
the Radical Socialists refused TO partici-
pate IN the organization Of the council
Leipzig IS one OF the stTongholds of the
Radical Socialists, their principal news
paper organ. the Leipzig Nolks Zeitung,
being published there.

whether deluded or not, rushed troops
across the ocean at the rate of hundreds
of thousands month Germany GER
tainly was fooled and the Hindenburg
board Of strategy plunged into restricted
salients with the recklessness of conyic-
ton that these two Of her enemies were
definitely down and out Of the war and
that the United States was too late in
bringing aid. When, 10 and behold,
France and Great Britain suddenly came
TO life and began movement which has
shaken the German military structure to
the foundations already and which may
succeed in topping it over. All that
without major assistance by the United
States in actual conflict, although it is
admitted that the Americans started
something on the Marine and have con-
tributed considerable at various times
since then. The strength of the French
and the British has been surprising in
this present grapple. And the allied
cause has practically an unchanged
American army to throw into the con.
flict at the proper time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor Barre Times, Dear Sir: / have
always been great admirer OF Frank
Howe, but on account of my strong per-
sonal friendship for Judge Darlings
brother, | did not intend to take an &C
tive part in this contest For many years
have been an ardent supporter Of The
odore Roosevelt and it made my blood
boil when GuInshoe Bill Stone accused
Roosevelt of being pro-German. was
equally grieyed when Judge Darling ma
liciously attacked Frank Howe as be-
ing pro.German. am very much inter
ested in recruiting myself and am doing
everything | can to win the war. In
the interest Of fair play / want my
friends to know that Frank Howe's son,
who was below draft age, gave up his
college course at Dartmouth and vol
unteered as q private at Fort Ethan
Allen May %, 1917 This son was soon
promoted to be corporal and was one
of three candidates selected from the
First Vermont regiment for appointment
to the military academy at West Point.
Young Howe said that he preferred to
serve as private now rather than to
20 to West Point and miss fighting In
France.
Frank Howe is a true Vermonter and
! will vote for him for governor,

THE VERMONT CASUALTY LIST.


1t is to be expected that some duly
constituted official Of the state of Yer
mont is taking charge of the cataloguing
of the list Of Vermont men killed in ac-
ton or who have died from some other
cause while in the service of the nation.
1t goes without saying that Vermont
should keep an official list of the men
who give up their lives in the course Of
the war. Vermont owes it to the men
and their families, as well as to itself,
to prepare an accurate list of all men
who die in the service Such a list
should be given place of honor in the
State House at Montpelier, where it can
be inspected in the years to come. The
compilation Of such list could be done,
of course, from the records of the war
department at some time after the COM
pletion of the war; but it would be more
satisfactory, and perhaps il would be
more complete, for Vermont officially to
maintain a record from day to day or
from week to week and then to compare
it with the records maintained in Wash.
ington, so that there would be no omis
sion of names.

The statement alleged to have been
made by the German crown prince in an

vent Germany from being vanquished
was undoubtedly meant for home con
sumption, to plaeate the German people
who were beginning to show their dis

THE WONDERFUL RESOURCES OF
OUR ALLIES.

Other people than the Germans may
begin to wonder at the mar. power re-
sources which have enabled Great Brit
ain and France to maintain major Of
fensive for six weeks without apparent
letup. A short time ago it was bruited
abroad that France was at the limit of
her man-power and was not able to enter
upon new offensive; and the idea was
allowed by the French government to
spread without effort at correction.
Then it was learned or it was announced
rather, that Great Britain was feyerishly
combing through her factories and shops
to get men to replenish the great gaps
made by the war Indeed, the situation
Of France and Great Britain was painted
as very serious; and the United States,
