Coat Tail Politics.

We do not just like the idea of drag
ging Congressman Frank L. Greene into
the goVernorship contest, and if this
young statesman knows the conditions
throughout Vermont as well as we think
he does, he will forthwith ask that his
name be stricken off the map, so far as
carrying any one man into the COVER
nor's chair This paper desires to see
Congressman Greene succeed Senator
Page, and in this statement we know
that we voice the sentiment of this sec
ton of the state.
So far, during Mr.. Greene's public ca.
reer, his name has always been eliminat-
ed from state political scraps, and right
here let us say that remarkably good
Judgment has been shown and that his
friends who spend ~ months every year
in Vermont have advised him rightly.
What the object can be at this time, by
some Of Mr.. Greene's best friends linking
his name up with any man who aspires
to be governor, is too deep in the mys-
teries of politics for us TO solve.
We feel like saying that it is more to
the other fellows success than to Con-
gresham Greenc's. Keen politicians in
Vermont admit that it is very clever
game that someone is trying to play, and
it is a fact that not all of Mr.. Greene's
fields have been consulted in this new
turn of political methods.
Coat tail politics have not been tried
in Vermont for some time, and many had
hoped that the state was getting big
enough and had men of sufficient ability
who could depend upon their own re-
sources to make a campaign.
Congressman Greene is one of the big
men Of Vermont. He possesses that nat
ural ability which places him in the front
ranks. Always honest in his dealings
with Others, and his frankness on all inn
portant questions, makes him depend
able. You always know where to find
Mr. Greene. If in doubt-just ask him.
He never conceals.
As good friend TO Congressman
Greene, we would most strongly urge
him to keep out of the present governor
ship contest. Political friends are some
times dangerous. They are not always
dependable, Waterbury Record.

AMERICAN SUPPLIES
WERE WELCOMED
It Was Great Event in Jassy, Rumania,
When Shipment of Hospital Articles
Was Received--Banquet Was Held
in Hsnor of the Event.

London, July 20 Thy the Associated
Press correspondent recently in Ruma-
MIA The allied diplomatic colony in
Rumania will long remember the arrival
in Jassy last winter of large shipment
Of hospital and medical supplies from
the United States. The shipment was
long delayed on the way, and when it
arrived one of the allied ministers in.
sisted on celebrating its arrival by a
dinner, as elaborate as dinners could be
under existing conditions.
After the arrangements for the dinner
had all been carefully worked out by the
minister who was acting as host, it was
found that there was not an ounce of
olive oil to be obtained in Jassy At the
urgent solicitation of the minister, the
chairman of the American Red Cross
mission agreed to remedy this deficiency.
Accordingly written order was given,
authorizing the minister to withdraw one
quart of olive oil from the supplies which
had just arrived from New York
The minister sent his orderly to the
Red Cross warehouse with the requisi-
tion, and the courteous superintendent of
the warehouse handed the orderly quart
bottle and took receipt in the custom
airy form.
The same evening the dinner took
place, with 20 guests, representing all
the important states in the entente alli-
ance. The host, proud of his achieve
ment in securing real olive oil for She
occasion, had arranged a menu in which
every dish contained oil as an ingredient
II is perhaps better not to go into
details regarding the denouement Suffice
1t to say that there was not single dish
of which anyone was able to take more
than mouthful. From beginning to end
everything was favored with a pene-
trating taste which the American min.
lister declared with that of fish glue.
Everybody accused the Red Cross
chairman Of attempting bad practical
joke, but he was as much at sea as any
body else, and could only promise that
the matter would be investigated on the
morrow.
A short talk between the Red Cross
chairman and the superintendent of the
warehouse next day solved the mystery.
What the warehouse man thought was
olive oil turned out to be full favored
Norwegian cod liver oil, which had been
shipped for the use of the American doe
tors in treating Rumsnia refugees.
International complications were only
avoided by the circulation of an elabo-
rate explanation, which had to be trans.
lated into seven languages in order to
reach all the guests who had been of
Tended by the dinner developments.

Initials That Mean Something.

Congress has seldom done wiser thing
than to consent that members of the
military service may accept from our
allies any such decorations as are con-
ferred by their governments upon the
officers and men of their own armies.
This consent is granted under clause s
of section of article of the constitu-
ton Of the United States, which provides
as follows:
mo title of nobility shall be granted
by the United States: and no person
holding any office of profit or trust under
them shall, without the consent of the
Congress, accept of any present, emolu.
ment, office or title of any kind what
ever, from any king, prince or foreign
state"
Awaiting itself promptly of the privi-
lege Of thus honoring American soldiers,
the government of Great Britain has con
ferred the grand cross of the order of the
Bath upon General Pershng and the
grand cross of the order OF St. Michael
and st. George upon General Tasker H.
Bliss and upon General March, chief of
staff at Washington. General Pershing
may now append to his name the letters
G. c. B and General Bliss and General
March tie letters G. G. M. G.. In their
cases these initials mean something.
They signify distinguished service in the
greatest war the world has ever known.
The order of the Bath has always been
highly esteemed as a military and naval
decoration; but it is only inrecent years
that the order of st. Michael and st.
George has been bestowed TO any consid-
cradle extent upon officers of the British
army and navy. 1t was originally CON
ferred for official services of importance
rendered in the Ionian islands when thev
constituted British protectorate. After
the Ionian islands were ceded to Greece,
the order Of st. Michael and 81. George
became largely colonial decoration
Thus Sir Robert Laird Borden, the prime
minister of Canada, is a g. G. M. g. In
looking over the list of members, howev-
er, we find sufficient number of gen.
erals to bring it within the definition Of
the act of Congress, which requires that
it shall be such decoration as is con
ferred upon persons in the military serv-
ice of Great Britain to warrant its ac-
ceptance by Americans.
In England persons thus honored use
the prefix sir to their names; but we as
sumo that American soldiers will prefer
to do as Henry Irving generally did
when in this country and omit the sir
New York Sun.

OCCUPATION for Tots.

Children are often restless because
no occupation has been provided for
them And IL little thought is taken
It is sometimes easy to do this, for
when children are quiet any house
hold gets on much better.
When the children must stay in
the house, never-failing source of
amusement is store" What child
has not delighted in weighing out
flour and sugar or giving imaginary
or real samples OF dress stuffs? And
money may be of paper or pins. The
childish imagination will bridge any
gaps One mother procured a large
wooden packing box for her children
and they thought 1t an ideal store
Furthermore, she saved all the gro
Gerry boxes, labeled tins-in fact, ev-
erything which would swell grocery
stock on packing box scale.
Needless to say, those children
played for hours In perfect quietness.

A food map Of Europe today shows
not single country in which the flu
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
;even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
lin the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peO-
pile of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German

What an Old Geeser Did

There was an old geeser, u' had a lot
of sense He started up business on a
dollar eighty cents The dollar for
stock and the eighty for an ad brought
him three lovely dollars in a day, by
dad. Well, he bought more goods aud =
little more space, and he played that
system with a simle on his face. The
customers fiocked to his two-by-four,
and soon he had to hustle for regular
store. Up on the square where the
people pass, he gobbled up corner
that was all plate glass. He fixed up
the window with the best he had told
them all about it in a half PACED ad.
He soon had 'em coming, and he never
never quit, and he didn't cut down his
ad one jit. And he's kept things humm-
ing in the town ever since, and every
BODY calls him the merchant prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all bunk,
why he was doing business when the
times were punk. People nave to pur-
chase and the geeser was wise--for he
knew the way to get 'em was to adver-

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not vet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 20,000,OO0
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts Of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.
