PRESS COMMENT
Following Russia's Footsteps

In spite of the awful warning OF
Russia, now given over to anarchy
and starvation, the German insur-
gents act out upon the road that
leads to the tyranny of one class over
all others, that ends inevitably in
social disorganization, the horror of
indiscriminate murder and ruin, until
reason and law resume ther sway.
Russian ignorance has no counter
part in Germany; it is to be hoped
that the sober sense of the people
will set limits to the ravages of the
red mobs.
The war organization of the coun-
tries united against Germany must
evidently be maintained until the
Germans have responsible govern
ment.-New York Times.

Leave 1t to Lodge +.

Senator Lodges proposal tnat those
who deal in German goods shall MAKE
pHblic declaration of that fact solves
the problem of trade reprisal against
Germany much more efficaciously than
the boycott suggested by the United
. States Chamber of Commerce, and
other organizations, would do. The
Lodge proposal puts the question dir
r Getty to the purchaser, who can act as
q his conscience dictates. Already q
great many have signifed their de-
termination never to purchase any
thing made in Germany, and this is a
personal action which is denied to no
man. But for the government to
adopt policy of boycott against Ger
many would lead to endless complica-
tions. and the boycott would be so fire.
Quently disregarded as to make it
look ridiculous. The South, particul-
arly, would never stand for it, because
the South has such a vital interest in
selling raw cotton to Germany, and
Germany is absolutely stripped of this
commodity. The individual who has
an aversion to the purchase of Hun
products because of the barbarities
which that race has wreaked on help
less and wounded, win find sympathe-
tic company But for the nation to
embrace boycotting as a policy would
expose US to the charge of littleness
as we'll as of economies easuistry

WHEN HEINIE RUNS
Copyright, 1918, by Edgar A. Guest

Copyright, 1918, by Edgar A. Guest)
When Heinie starts to run, Gee Whlz
He's faster than the rabbit is,
He throws away his cartridge belt,
His derby hat of iron felt,
His iron cross, his trusty gun
And heads for home upon the run.
He never stops to greet his friends
Or asks which way the roadway bends
He has no time to stop and chat.
And if a woman old and fat
Gets in his way, she's promptly
downed;
To dodge her would be losing ground
When Heinie feels that run he must
He leaves behind cloud of dust.
Along his trail you'll find his coat,
TheHcollar that adorned his throat,
The jackknife in it's rusty sheath
With which he used to pick his teeth
When Heinie gets a running fit
He makes splendid job of it.
He'll run in circles and in squares,
And even shed the shirt he wears.
, For Henie, when he's taking fight,
= Believes it best to travel light.
The dogs go scampcring from his way
The chickens flee the best they may,
The frightened pigeons take the sky
And horses turn to let him by. @
The. widest thing beneath the sun
Is Hcinie, when he starts to run.

Encouragement for All

The Rutland Herald" tells its
readers under a Brattleboro date,
that relatives Of Miss Marion Rice,
who is a Red Gross nurse now in
France, have just received a letter
from her in which she wrote that, the
day before, the mails brought her a
Christmas package which was mailed
in Brattleboro in November, 1916.
Miss Rice added that the contents of
the box were edible, a fact which
speaks volumes for Vermont cookery.
The deliberate progress of this box
and its ultimate delivery brings much
comfort, or should, to some thousands
of people who have mailed boxes to
members of the American Expedition
airy Force. These boxes may be years
in transit but eventually they will
reach the addresses. AS late as 1897
grizzled veterans of the great war,
then home and engaged in peaceful
pursuits, viii be gladdened by the re-
ceipt of boxes of cigarettes, cake and
candy shipped to them by friends in
this country in 1917. The mails may
be slow but they are frequently sure.

THE registration days were Friday

for women's registration was not en-

tervening between the enactment Of
the law and the registration itself.

Miss Hay, "over the redistricting Of

courts. Because of this. nobody knew
whether the registration was likely
to be called for at this time or forty

named in ono district until Thursday

made on Tuesday. When 1900 wom-
