aThe Women Did III"
Editor The Register,
MiddlebuTy, VI.

Eullpl 4 nc Rtklhltli
Middlebury, Vt,
In noting the returns OF the various
town meetings, the writer finds that an
increased number OF mo" votes are
attributed to women, and OF several
towns and cities going dry the editors
and correspondents do not hesitate to
affirm that the "women did H."
In turning to the report OF Vergennes
we find a different condition, the town
went wet, but the same old tune, the
women did IT," Some man has figured
that II lot OF women had not voted
for license the city would have gone
dry,Verily the male voters are largely
angels Of light" this year, while the
female voters have demonstrated their
degradation, addiction to booze, and
their unhtness to vote, But have
theyf
A possible solution Of this sad state
OF affairs may be similar to that which
has been successfully tried in few
other towns, Instead Of the good men
urging and assisting the women to 20
10 the polls and cast vote in the in
terest OF good government, they have
discouraged and ridiculed them, II the
women didn't know enough TO vote
they certainly made an effort TO do so,
and undoubtedly did the best they
could; and for this they should be
commended, not blamed,
Is il not entirely possible that in
view OF the expected vote OF the
women, the liquor men got busy and
rounded up every old whiskey-soaked
veteran in the city and delivered them
at the polling place for the purpose oil
swelling their numbers? We happen
10 know where this was done; the sa.
loon men importing the lame, halt and
blind from the poor house and serving
them a dinner at the hotel in exchange
for their yes vote Verify, Politics am
a great game
Win you permit a suggestion to all
male voters2 1t is this, let every
voter in town or city the coming year
consider himself duly appointed
guardian of the newly enfranchised
women voters, Let them pray and
plead with the women to sober up
before another election, Let them pre-.
sent the awful picture of how, should
they continue, their bonnets will go
awry when on the street, their dresses
become torn, as they seek to lick the
whole town, how profanity and OBJ
scene language may become frequent,
and they perhaps be tempted to sell
their vote for cigar, or a drink. Ger
tainly they would become debauched
and set hideous example unless they
speedily repent and depart from their
sinful ways
Let the male voters hold good citi-
zenship meetings, thus seeking to in
terest and tactfully instruct the women
in voting, before another election the
wisdom of such efforts could then be
demonstrated and the beautiful and
historic city of Nergennes would no
longer bear the stamp OF degeneracy
and reproach, because, "The women did
it,"

LETTERS TO SOLDIERS
Should Be Plainly Addressed and Sc
curely Enveloped

Parents and friends Of young mel
who are serving their country in vari
Gus military capacities would do well L
heed a notice which has been sent out
from the post Office department al
Washington, calling attention to the
delay which is experienced in deliver
ing letters and parcels to army mer
on account Of illegible addresses, poor
quality of envelopes and lack of sui.
icient care in doing up packages
Among the points which the depart.
ment wishes to emphasize are the fol.
lowing
Always give full name of persons to
whom letter or package is addressed
For instance, do not say ]. +. Smith
as that might mean James f., John f,
or Joseph +. In addition to the given
name, the title should always be added
the full name of the unit or organic
alton to which the addressee is
assigned to which the addressee is
lean Expeditionary Forces" when
matter is for soldiers, sailors, and
marines with American Expeditionary
forces in foreign countries.
Letters, post cards and packages
should not be addressed with lead
pencil, as the address may become
obliterated in transit. Always adj
dress with pen and ink or typewriter.
Every piece of mail matter should
bear the name and address of the
sender so that in case of non delivery
it may be returned to the sender.
The long journey and number Of
times a letter changes hands before
it reaches delivery points abroad calls
for the use OF envelopes that are sub
stantially made. The cheaper grade
of envelope, which does very well in
this country will not stand the wear
and tear incidental to a trip abroad.
Good envelopes cost but little and the
delivery Of a letter to a son or brother
in France should not be jeopardized for
lack of one.

Who can challenge our superlatves?
Who can question our perspective? The
week that has elapsed since The Regis
ter last appeared has been the most
momentous in the history Of the world,
In all the centuries that democracy
has struggled to gain and to keep its
footing on this fair earth, ii has never
had to stand as il stands to-day on a
battle front against which an imperial
will for world domination is hurting his
subjects at an estimated cost Of nearly
half a million men in dead, wounded
and prisoners.
1t has been a week of alarm without
panic. The Germans, in a desperate
attempt to end the war, apparently
with the capture of Paris as their OBJ
jective, have day after day now for
eight days kept up an almost steady
succession of mass attacks along fifty
mile front from the region Of Arras to
the south of the Disc near Noyon. The
British troops, with reirforcements of
the French and two regiments Of Amer
leans, have thus far kept the line from
an actual break and this mornings
news that General Haig has actu-
ally beaten back the Teutons after an
all day battle north of the Scarpe, and
that the French have advanced on the
front from Lassigney to Noyon are
some of the encouraging bulletins as
this issue goes TO press.
The one thing we are forced to sur
render to, however, is the fact that the
Germans in their week long drive have
reclaimed virtually all the territory
they held at the beginning of the battle
of Somme, and in some places have
taken new ground. However great
the cost has been, and it was undoubt-
edly well.reckoned by the German En-
peror as a supreme sacrifice, and how
ever firm our confidence may stand in
the ability of our plucky allies to re-
pulse the furious onslaught, the time
has come for US to feel, that although
the battle line is 1000 miles away from
Mlddlebury, it is almost as great a
menace to our homes and democratic
institutions as though the butt of a
German soldiers gun was battering at
our doors.
Around here the sun is shining, spring
is coming and the natural beauties and
resources of our hills and valleys are
inviting us to the spring time extrava-
gance of contentment and satisfaction
that call is well with the world" But
it isn't.
On the eve of our Easter the world is
afflicted with the most malignant can
cerous growth of military despotism
that it has ever known, battling to
crush democracy and displace Chris
tianty with "kultur."
1t is time for alarm. Not so much
that the Germans are storming so fur
lously or that the pluck of the BOYS at
the front will give way, but for genuine
widespread alarm right here at home.
If that line does break, now or ever,
or if the war is prolonged into years
more of such carnage as now prevails,
will your conscience and mine have
answered fully to the High Command
of Duty? Let US see that it does. Let
us examine ourselves.
