Admittedly the representation of
the overseas don1inions in the i'm
perial cabinet is a makeshift arrange
ment made in a hurry and heat Of the
great war. What further changes are
to come in the constitutional develop
ment Of a f~ederalized British empire
the near future, will tell. One thing
only is certain: Canada, Australia
and the other dominions have a new
consciousness Of nationality and ma
tional responsibility as a result OF
their part in the war, and some per-
manent method must soon be found
for the expression of their opinion on
matters affecting the entire empire.

The Unkindest Cut OF All

Our "wayfaring" Bro Hin Hey, while
marking time in Montpelier until the
big show begins, is seeing things at
night" Either he or the Capitol City
is suffering a case of NERVES " Witness
this from yesterdays Herald.
Another more or less subhminal
shock passed over the capital when
the news seeped out, via. house
grapevine, that the Addison county
grand jury was in session and that
something more might break loose in
reference to our luckless and devoted
state institutions.
No one knew anything definite, the
court was mute and the attorney gen
eTal wasn't saying word but the
passedon rumor, something doing"
flashed from heating plant to dome
and once more official consciences are
pricked and official epidermises are
scared with the "nvidious apprehen-
sion" OF what may come loose.
We are pleased to disappoint you,
Bro. Hindley. Addison County hasn't
anything to contribute to the dung
heap of state scandal.

80 years connection with the fair he
had earned the right TO retire in 1870.
He was reelected, as also was Treas

was unable to be present, had sent
word that he could not serve another

would take Office in the same spirit

The three audtors-J, A, Fletcher,

Although there was no discussion OF
ways and means by which revival OF
the fair might be financed, there was
no opposition voiced when Secretary
Dyer moved that fair should be held
the last week in August, and he named

KEEP ON! KEEP ON!

1t would not seem to be necessary to
bring home to any thinking person
the fact that this winter the world is
likely to suffer the greatest pangs of
hunger it has ever known. Fighting
right up to the threshold Of eXhaus-
ton and starvation, a greater part of
Europe will find itself destitute ex-
cept for what great and magnanimous
America can do toward its relief. It is
said on the best authority that today
in Poland there is no child living under
the age of four years, as result of
famine conditions. -Four million out OF
seven million Belgians are subssting
such weather as this on soup lines
alone, and scantily at that The Swiss
people are indulging in food riots
forty million people in North Russia
face starvation.
To help the hungry millions among
our Allies and liberated nations, Amer
lea has pledged twenty million tons of
food, which means that two thirds
more than last year must be saved
from stocks which are no larger. 1t
was, perhaps, less difficult to make this
saving when we thought of it in the
light of self defence and in the way of
help for our own fighting boys. But
there is still the element of self-de
fence. The world if unfed will become
more disorderly and more menacing to
us than ever. We must 90 on saving
food and living up to our self-sacrifc-
ing ideals.

oBoBu COLLINS,

Middlebury experiences pride in the
fact that she has not only been gen
erously represented in the great war
but that she will also play an impor'
tant part in connection with the peace
conference Robert NJ Collins, who Is
proud 10 call himself son OF Middle
bury, and whose love for the town and
college are well-known TO his close
friends, has been chosen as one OF the
leading Associated Press correspond
ents 10 attend the peace confer
ence, and through that great agency 10
report its progress 10 the millions OF
newspaper readers in the United States
The importance which The Assoeia-
ted Press attaches TO this event, IS evi-
dent from the decision OF Melville L.
Stone, general manager, himself to head
the party Of "A, p" men az Paris, as he
did at the famous Portsmouth confer
ence years ago when Japan and Russia
drew up their treaty, Friends Of Mr..
Stone will feel delighted that ne can
thus crown his remarkable career as
a directing force in the worlds news
gathering; and Mr., Collins and the
other notable A, p men with whom
Mr.. Stone has surrounded himself for
this task may likewise consider the
honor as a climax TO years al faithful
and efficient service which has been
extremely arduous during the past
four years of war,
Mr., Collins, who as is well-known, is
chief OF the London Bureau OF the
Associated Press, and whose address is
"a Old Jewry, London, E. c, prepared
for college az Beeman Academy New
Haven, and graduated from Middle
bury in 1889, since when he has had
n varied and distinguished newspaper
career. With him at Paris, besides Mr..
Stone, will be the chiefs Of the Paris,
Rome Berlin and Washington bureaus,
and a dozen other men who arc well
known correspondents. There are no
Cub" reporters among them; it is
doubtful If more experienced men could
be gathered from any quarter of news
paperdom. While Mr. Creel and his
official party interpret" the confer
ence for us, we may be glad that the
old A P will report" it,

When both reports had been accept
ed, and the business Of electing officers
came up, the most affecting address Of
the whole meeting was made by J c,
S. Hamilton Of Bridport, Rising slow
ly and stepping into the aisle, Mr.,
Hamilton in simple and slowly-spoken
words said, in part
1--WE all know, every flock must have
its leader But there was never flock
which has missed lis leader so much
as we today miss Col, llsley, can re-
member year ago, just before our
annual meeting the Colonel called me
TO his room and told me how much he
had been "doctoring" in the hope Of
getting TO the meeting We all Temem.
Der how he stood up so feebly, for the
last time, and nominated Judge Weeks
for reelection,
"Now, the other day, Judge Weeks
met me on the street and insisted that
his name should not be proposed an
other year as our president-that he
had served eleven years, and that he
earnestly desired to step aside and let
some younger man take the reins,
But, gentlemen the Colonel had
always wished TO have Judge Weeks
as our president, and the Colonel sell
dom made mistakes. There is no one
who can take the Colonel's place, We
must take the one nearest to him and
to us-Judge Weeks, you cannot drop
us at this time"
Following the affectionate insistance
made upon him both by Mr.. Hamilton
and by J. II Donnelly Of Vergennes
who seconded his nomination, Judge
Weeks agreed to accept for zone more
year He said he had been sincere in
his statement to Mr.. Hamilton, for he
had thought the time had come when
a change would be beneficial In finally
accepting for his election was unani.
nous he said he was accepting really
against his own will, and in doing so he
hoped there were many Others whose
help would be needed, who would ac-
cept in the same spirit, all to the end
of making the revival Of the fair a
great success.
The election OF the other officers fol-
lowed without difficulty. William Moo
nan of Panton was elected first vice
president, 1.-THE post Col Ilsley had
held for years. and W, c. Hack of
Orwell was elected second vice-presi-
dent, When Secretary Dyer Of Sails
bury was renominated he raised the
protest that while he would consent
