sounded about o'clock Thursday
evening for an overheated chimney

Mr.. and Mrs. John Sirios and Miss
Alice Sirois of this place had a mar
now escape from death or serious
injury late Thursday afternoon while
driving in their runabout near what
it known as the Parlin place on the
Norridgewock road. A large car
driven by Mr. Mitchell Of Skowhegan
was going toward Norridgewock at
a good rate, of speed, when the car
driven by one of the women and
coming toward Madison, came
around a blind curve and crossed
the road directly in front of the Dig
car. The smaller car was padiy
wrecked and the front of the large
car was considerably damaged. The
occupants of both cars were badly
shaken up and sustained a number
of cuts and bruises. It was at first
thought that the women in the Sirois
car were badly hurt but according to
late reports all escaped serious
injury.

1t is evident from reports that have
been received from time to time, that
the COW moose which some time ago
took up her residence in Kennebec
county and has been seen in various
localities from Pittston, in the lower
part of the county, as far north as
Benton, is still here and evidently is
satisfied with her surroundings. The
animal was seen on Thursday in the
vicinity Of Winslow. by a number Of
Augusta people, among them Man
ager Roland Lynn of Hotel North,
who was out with his automobile.
The animal APPARENTLY has but little
fear of man. This is probably the
same moose that has been seen so
many times during the past season
in the vicinity Of Weber pond, Vas
salboro. Perhaps she may know that
she is protected by law.

A DEAD GOOSE LAYS NO EGGS.

The attitude of people towards the
Germans is a matter OF Importance, and
the consequences will react to uplift or
to lower our own ideals and, in the field
of world activities, TO increase good will
or TO smother it.
The Germans are a part of the world,
says Sylvester Baxter, that we want to
restore to prosperity on higher plane
of security and welfare. The conditions
are infinitely complex. One great prob.
lem is how to make it possible for Ger
many, apparently well rid of autocracy,
to become better Germany and contrib.
ute toward this universal end as the
energies of the something like 100000, 900
Germans and German Austrians might
and should. This cannot be done bv the
boycotting, the non.intercourse, the prac-
teal cnslavement and permanent impoy.
crishment of this host of people whose
vast industrial capacities can be made of
immense service in the task of restora-
ton and reconstruction.
Revenge, as favored by many, would
not only degrade our noble cause with
debasement of ideals, but to persist in it
would be unspeakably disastrous, eco
nomically and politically. 1t is too
much like kicking man when he is
down. II replaces the cardinal Christian
principle, love your enemies with the
quite unchristian, though quite human,
doctrine of hate your enemies" 1t is
not true that all Germans are murderers.
One OF our great aims in waging this war
to il, righteous end was TO secure the
destruction Of autoeracy by the Germans
themselves This has been accomplished
The German people still have the seeds
of regeneration in them. Mr. Nanderlip.

New York, has published the results Of

lie spoke highly of the Social Democrats
of Germany, saying in substance that,
for the most part, their principles were
those Of democracy long since realized
with us
Carl ". Alderman, writing from Swift
zerland some months ago, reported talks
with many Germans who said that de-
feat would prove the greatest blessing
for Germany. Our Presidents leaven was
working then. England and France have
suffered infinitely more than we have,
yet Lloyd George said: NO settlement
that contravenes the principles of eternal
Justice will be permanent one. The
peace Of 1871 imposed by Germany upon
France outraged all the principles of JUS
tice and fair play. Let us be warned by
that example. We must not al
low any sense Of revenge, and spirit of
greed and grasping desires to override
the fundamental principles of righteous
ness. Vigorous attempts will be made to
hector and bully the government in an
cndeavor TO make it depart from the
strict principles of right and to satisfy

Full and Impartial Justice.
Rutland Herald. J

If, as the unofficial news has it, a
Washington county grand jury has
brought in indictments against vari-
Gus state officials on account of the
former shortages in the office of the
state auditor, The Herald would insist
on full investigation and fair trial
of all concerned. There should be no
needless delay, and me entire matter
should be gone into with n view of
fixing the responsibility for the whole
situation.
There is often disposition in such
eases to make some one 1.-THE goat
for existing conditions, and there will
undoubtedly be some hurrying to
cover if the announcement of the for
NAL proceedings bears out the prelim-
mary rumors. Screening any respon-
sible officer certainly ought not to be
possible in a Vermont court
The Herald is already definitely on
record in regard 10 this matter. When
it first called attention TO this short
age under date of Aug. 18th, it said
editoriallv:
The existing system, with its use
and abuse of open accounts, is an ac-
tual invitation to fraud and misappro-
priation of the state S funds 1t should
be remedied without delay, so that a
shortage of $4,000 in the account of
any state officer should be made abso-
lutelv impossible
Meanwhile. immediate restitution
and adjustment of the accounts must,
of course, be insisted on by the Off
GERS concerRed.
The Herald understands that this
restitution has been made, and it
seems likely that the Legislature will
faithfully take up the work delegated
to il by the people. Remains now the
unpleasant duty which devolves on
the officers of justice in the legal pro-
secution of those whom the grand jury
may declare subject to trial for res
Sponsibility in existing conditions.
Anything less than full and ade-
quate justice will not for a moment be
tolerated by the people of Vermont

best predetermined, while the time for its
voyage across the ocean is even further
from actual determination. We people
of New England might as well resign
ourselves to the probability that the bows
will not be home by New Years. We
presume that the boys themselves have
long since schooled their minds to the
idea that their stay in Europe will ex-
tend considerably into the year 1919; and
we doubt not that, much as they would
like TO be back home at New Years, they
will prefer to stick to the job until
complete job is done. That is what they
went over for and they are not likely TO
.be sweryed from that purpose through
personal feelings. Therefore, in writing
letters to the members of the division it
would be well, perhaps, not to say much
about the boys being home by New
Years. Such train Of correspondence
might prove to be rather inimical to the
morale of the best soldiers. The United
States government viii bring them home
at the very earliest opportunity, for the
Goth division has done a powerful work
in western Europe and has won an early
reward

birds all around the swamp and the
many fine markets they had in which
to do their shopping.
1.-THE children played about and had
beautiful time. and soon Mrs Ever
glade Kite called to every one 10 come
to the banquet.
1T was served in bush which was
almost completely surrounded by tall
grass.
Mrs. Everglade Kite was very fond
of style, SO she gave all the birds lit
tie napkins made out of green leaves
and they had plates of fiat stones
which were very small and dainty.
They were given knives and forks
OF little twigs in case any of the food
was too much to eat without cutting it
up, though the birds all knew that it
was easier for them to use their hook
ed bills than any knives and forks.
Still it did make a very fine APP
pearing banquet. For their first course
they had insect soup, and all the moth
er relations said il was delicious. OF
course they asked Mrs. Eyerglade Kite
how she made it and the fathers asked
Mr.. Everglade Kite where he got such
very fine insects.
1.-THE children didn't ask any aues-
tons. They just ate and enjoyed it
thoroughly.
Next they had snake salad, which
of course sounds quite awful to US, but
then We think worms are pretty dread
full and yet we know how robins and
other birds love them.
"FOr dessert they had berry pudding
with insect sauce, and they had fine
swamp water to drink. They thought
it was quite the best drink they ever
had.
s. And after they had finished, Mrs.
Everglade Kite passed around little
acorn cups filled With grass extract.
which took the place of coffee, and
which was made out of the juice of
the long grasses near Mrs. Everglade
Kites home. So one and all said 1t
was certainly real banquet"

geance and of avarice We must relent-

Clemenceau, "the Tiger of France" de-
clares against a settlement inspired BY
animosity and revenge.
The only way Germany can pay, says
a leading New England journal, is BY
giving her chance to work it out serv-
ing the rest of the world The big bill
must be paid from the profits on German
products. The best thing for US 10 do,
in fact the only thing we can do to get
our money, is to put Germany back on
her feet and enable her to be as construc.
tive and helpful as for the past four
years she has been destructive Germany
Is now in the position of man who has
lost all his material possessions and must
pay his debts in the sweat of his brow.
Let Us ring down the curtain upon hate
and retaliation and ring the Joy bells of
better time. BY putting two and two
together in the light OF reason we shall
discover that it is the only course that
will weld results that can be justified
