most resolutely to the one-cent price
when all the other papers were consider
ing an increase. The Post says that 1t
has always preferred power to profits,
meaning by the word power" a broad
circulation and the influence which a
broad circulation brings; and, therefore,
it stuck to that policy as long as it could
and not be entirely cut off from profits.
Now, however, in self.preseryation it has
been compelled to increase the selling
price of its newspaper to two cents, along
with all the others in Boston which had
maintained the one-cent price against in
creasing odds The action of the Boston
newspapers probably means the passing
out of the one-cent daily newspaper,
Here in Vermont the minimum price is
two cents and some of the papers charge
three cents. The Times was one of the
two last papers TO raise its price from
one cent to two cents, being reluctant to
do so for many reasons but being forced
to such an action by the same reasons
which have forced The Post and other
Boston newspapers to join the now gen,
eral movement.

If Germany had shown a grain of
sincerity in all the negotiations she con-
Quoted with the United States govern
ment prior to the outbreak of war be-
tween the two nations and if Germany's
word had not been broken so many times
since the Lusitania was sunk, the present
appeal of officials of the German govern
ment for assistance would carry greater
conviction among the American people.
It is not the least bit strange that there
arises in the minds of the American peo-
pie some doubt as to whether Germany
is not playing another game, even though
in defeat, in order to gain the sympathy
of the allied countries. But with char
acteristic magnanimity the American
people are willing to take chance that
German people are sorely in need of help
and they are willing to be fooled again
rather than to permit actual suffering to
exist even among such people as the
Germans That is why American aid is
likely to be sent into Germany at the
very earliest opportunity.

MR.. McADoo's SERVICES.

The people are not as yet permitted to
know the true inwardness of the resigna
ton Of William G. McAdoo as secretary
Of the United States treasury and as d.
rector general of the railroad administra
ton, announcement of which was made
by him in Washington on Friday; and
speculation on that phase of the matter
will be more or less valueless. However,
it is proper to state that so far as the
activities of this official are known to the
country the judgment is that Mr.. Nc
Adoo has been one of the mainstays OF
the government through the most trying
period of the war and that his resigna-
ton will mean serious loss to the coun-
try Mr. MeAdoo has been accused of
being the pooh.bah of the government,
the man who held important offices and
then took on more duties in rapid sue
cession; and it must be admitted that he
has been loaded down with more official
duties than one man would seem TO be
able to carry. Nevertheless there will be
quite general acknowledgment that, de-
spite the arduous duties involved, Mr..
McAdoo has been uniformly successful in
carrying out the duties of those various
and varied positions.
Perhaps his most valuable services
have been performed in carrying out the
financial administration OF the war. To
Mr.. McAdoo fell the very important
work of raising the money, the sinews Of
war, not in paltry hundreds of millions
but in billions-sums heretofore unheard
of in the United States. Mr.. McAdoc
was foremost in devising the plans Of
operation and then in administering those
plans in highly effective manner. Large
ly. through his efforts, the American peo
pie have raised well toward twenty bill
lions of dollars in the last year and Q
half with which to prosecute the many
phases of the war activity. That alone
would stamp Mr.. McAdoo as a successful
part of the government; but it is onl!
one of the many phases of work in whic.
he has done well. Recognizing that eff
fective work, the American people regre
to see him go, perhaps to be replaced b,
some spineless individual.

We have heard little of late concerning
the carrying out of the terms of the Aus
trian armistice; but the announcement
of the presence of French troops in Buda-
pest, the capital of Hungary, bears testi-
mony to the fact that at least one of the
terms of the armistice is being adhered
to, that which consigned the use of the
Austro- Hungarian railroads for the
transportation Of troops of the allies.
The press dispatches indicate that only a
small force OF French soldiers has as yet
arrived in Hungary's capital, SO small, in
fact, as to raise doubts of the safety of
the men, let alone their capacity for per-
forming the duties imposed, if there
should be any organized resentment on
the part of the Hungarian people. The
dispatches speak of regiment of French
troops when it seems there should have
been as many as division at least.

With the modesty of real hero, Ad-

allied forces, has issued proclamation
to the "oficers, non-commissioned officers
and soldiers of the allied armies" in
which he says, you have won the great
est battle in history and saved the most
sacred cause.-the liberty of the world. "
One can readily imagine what sort OF a
document William Hohenzollern woulo
have put out had his armies been the vie
tors in the great struggle Having a
good idea of the egotism that would have
stuck out of such a document, we may
well congratulate ourselves on what we
have escaped.

The late Albert Balm, German and
general director of the Hamburg Amer
lean steamship line, consoled German
people over the terms of the armistice
imposed upon them by stating that the
terms are not nearly as severe as the
terms which Germany had prepared to
impose on the allies until victory was
snatched away. While those words are
consoling the Germans over their lot,
they will serve to warn the allies against
any leniency in the peace conference.
