The Health of Our Army.

Major General William G. Gorgas, sur
geon- general Of the army, at a recent
medical convention, said that except
when sweeping casualty lists come in,
the death rate in the army will be much
lower than in civil life He said there
never was a cleaner army on earth, and
denied emphatically rumors that immo-
rality and drunkenness was rampant in
the army.
THE world has never seen better
army than America is putting into the
field" he SAID, "and the standard is con
stantly rising. The reports that come to
me constantly show that not only is the
death rate decreasing as the health con.
ditions improve, but that social diseases
are being rapidly curbed, if not eliminat.
ed and the chief obstacle we have to
contend with in that line is with the new
recruits. Parents may feel that their
sons are subject to less temptation in
this line in the army than at home"

Graham First Choice.

There is feeling throughout Vermont
that Governor Graham should be re-elect-
ed Nermonters everywhere in the state
express the wish that he may continue in
office that the work Of the state govern
ment may 60 on without interruption.
The Herald believes "Uncle Horace" is
carefully considering these wishes of his
fellow citizens. No mountain rule or 9th
er Well-groomed political custom should
be aired under the present war condi.
tions. However, If Governor Graham does
not feel that he can respond to this call,
The Herald wants TO see a Nermonter
elected for governor who has given his
time and effort TO advance her interests
and Keep her in the ranks of progress: a
Vermonter who gives to the old state
unstinted service in private and public
life; one Of our own people toiling with
us to make Vermont bigger and better
and foremost in the march of progress.
and such a citizen is Frank Z. Howe.
There are others, We should be unfortu-
nate, indeed, if there were not. But
Frank E. Howe understands Vermont and
Vermonters. He has toiled with us,
knows thoroughly the needs Of the state,
is in sympathy with the people and has
only one desire, to help Vermont do her
full part, and to this cause he will devote
his time and effort. He is well fitted to
take up the duties of governor and carry
out successfully the splendid work Gov,

GEN. F0CH STRIKES BACK.

The sudden and powerful counter at
tack delivered by the French on the
western side of the Marine salient this
morning is evidence enough that the al
lies have plenty of power in reserve in
that part of the long battle line and that
Gen. Foch is merely waiting for the op.
perfume time before striking. Therein
is assurance made doubly sure The
move fefutes completely, too, the conten-
ton of the German general staff that
Foch's reserve army is myth and that
the Americans are not present in any
appreciable numbers. 1t takes great
force to deliver an attack on front of
% miles and it takes another great force
to back up the attacking host. The sue
cess of the first impetus of the counter,
attack carries conviction that the first
force is available, and the known per.
spicacity of the leader of the allied forces
establishes it beyond peradyenture that
there is a supporting army fully able to
cope with the situation.
The initial success Of the operation
seems to threaten the salient which the
Germans have driven into the allied line
and across the Marine river; and if the
movement can be sustained with equal
power it should spell disaster for that
section of the German army, or at least
should force hasty retreat to the line
north Of the Aisne, where the Germans
rested prior to May. The events on the

W. G. Reynolds Says Motorists Can Save
Sll, 800 Yearly By Care,

It's up to Barre motorists To save fully
Sll 900 on their 1918 tire bin simply by
being more cautious in the care of tires,
and not scrap them until they have de-
livered their full quota of mileage This
statement was made by w G. Reynolds
Of Reynolds a Son.
"0n June there we're AGA automobiles
registered in Barre, representing 1920
tires. From close observation locally |
can safely say that the average needless
expenditure by motorists per tire is very
close to So said Mr. Reynolds This
waste can be avoided by car owners
needing the following tire care rules
Never run on underfated tires; see that
your front wheels are properly aligned /;
make certain that both brakes take hold
simultaneously; do not run in car tracks
or ruts; do not allow your rims to get
rusty; and examine your tires regularly
for small cuts and bruises which should
be repaired before they become larger
with wear and cause serious damage,
I'VE owe it to ourselves and to our
country during this time when all pa
triotic citizens are conserving necessi-
ties" continued Mr.. Reynolds, ito con
stantly avoid unnecessary tire expense.
And tires and ears are a necessity. Loss
of your car for even day or so quickly
convinees you of its absolute necessity as
a means OF transportation. Then, why
neglect and ignore your tires?
There's another important factor car
owners must not overlook" declared Mr..
REYNOLDS. THE scarcity of ships has
greatly hampered tire manufacturers
from getting rubber from the East In
dian islands and South America. In fact,
rubber importation has been cut down
by the government to just half the
amount brought into this country last
year The great demands Of the govern
ment for cotton to be used for war sup.
plies has curtailed the available supply
Of long staple cotton used in tire fabric,
England has decided that she needs all
Of the Egyptian cotton.
"While there is no visible sign of a
tire shortage we can never tell what the
war viii bring forth. As a precaution
motorists should conserve their tires and
buy wisely. We find that many of the
tires consigned to the scrap heap are
good for from 500 to 1000 more miles,
Even with materials and labor con-
stantly mounting in cost, very few PEG.
pie realize that tire prices to-day are
nearly half again lower than in l9l0,'
said Mr.. Reynolds. "Then, a 34x4 Da'
mond sold for S46.55, while now the price
for the same sized tire is approximately
S34, And the Diamond of to-day is a
better tire.
The Reynolds & Son company has
been unusually successful in the local
tire field. Striking proof Of the popu.
larity of Diamonds in Barre is eyinced
by recent investigation or poll of tires
taken in this city. More than double the
number of Diamonds were in use on To-
cal cars than of any other brand Of tire
not sold to automobile manufacturers for
original euupment.-

A Simple Wall Paper Cleaner.

The following suggestion appears in
the August Woman's Home Companion;
Last spring in the house cleaning sea 3.
son it occurred to me, in cleaning my wall
paper, that rubber is the best eraser; so
/ tried one of the red rubber sponges
such as may be had for a dime at any
five and ten.cent store. II worked like
magic, and in addition to leaving no
streaks or sticky rolls on the paper, it
requires no kneading and is always ready
for use; the dry sponge crumbs can be
taken up quickly with the vacuum clean
er or brushed up with a broom, and they
will not stick to the floors or tramp into
rugs. The rubber sponge also cleans fiat
painted walls and vanished woodwork,
and removes the smoke dust and bloom
from polished dark wood mantels or fur.

frames, chandeliers, and other gilt or lac

CURRENT COMMENT
Non. Partisanship in Red Cross.

The American Red Cross war council
very properly holds that the organiza-
tion should be kept above even the sus-
picion that partisan use is being made Of
1t. A letter sent to division managers
directs them to request "all officials of
the Red Cross either in chapters or divi-
sion headquarters, who are in any posi-
tion Of executive authority, and who at
the same time contemplate candidacy for
public office, either to resign in their Of
fetal capacity from the Red Cross, or to
refrain from such candidacy" This ac-
tion is taken in view of the coming first
general election since the entrance of the
United States into the war, and has been
wisely conceived, 1t is pointed out by
those high in authority that mo faint Of
selfishness or self.seeking can be allowed
TO creep upon the work, endangering and
even, perhaps, destroying its great ac.
complishment" Every loyal Red Cross
worker will say amen to that, and so
will the army of those who support it,
which means all of us.-Springfeld Re-

indication that Austria is being used
merely as pawn by Germany just as
Chancellor Won Hertling said Germany
proposed to use Belgium, and, therefore,
that anything coming through Austria
is meant simply to conceal German de-
signs and is not to be taken seriously or
in good faith. The declaration of Won

phrases which are susceptible Of various
interpretations; and it Ia more than

We brought something worth while out
of Mexico. 1t viii be remembered that
when Gen. Pershing abandoned his pur.
suit of Villa in the mountains and des-
erts of western Chihuahua and started
back to the United States, the Chinese
colony in that region, to the number of
405, trailed behind the American expedi-
tionsry force. They feared that Villa
and his men would carry out their
threats to kill all Chinese in Mexico, and
Cen Pershing gave them permission to
come along. These Chinese were first
placed in an internment camp at Colum-
bus, n. NJ, until arrangements were
made between the United States immi-
grafton bureau and the Chinese govern
ment for the transfer Of the wanderers
to San Antonio, Tex. There they were
allotted to army camps and posts, and
have since been working for the army in
various capacities. Some have applied
