Every days failure of the Germans to
break through the allies line in western
Europe means the decrease of their
chances to win the war, for every day 8
failure on their part means considerable
gain in the aseendancy of the allies
through the accretions furnished by
the United States. 1t is reasonable to
assume that the movement of American
troops across the Atlantic is being car
ried out with all possible dispatch at
the present time and with those troops
goes the equipment of the men and a
certain amount of heavy arms 1t
should be recalled that in midwinter Sec
rotary Baker made the assertion that by
spring there would be 100000 American
soldiers in France and that by fall of
1918 there would be over million men
under arms in that country. Failure Of
the SlaughteTers to get through this
time means the death.k nell of their
bloody aspirations.

AMERICANS VITALITY INTERESTED

AMERICANS VITALITY INTERESTED
Not since the outbreak of the wal
have the people of the United States
been SO intensely interested in any OF
the events as they are now in the out
come of the great struggle being carried
on in western Europe When the war
broke out it seemed far away from the
American people albeit the undoubted
sympathy of the people here was with
the alAed cause. The pulse of the Amer
leans was quickened when the German
hordes began to overrun Belgium and
swept on toward Paris; and when the
battle of the Marine was fought and won
BY the French the enthusiasm of Amer
leans reached high pitch. Then, as the
various events of the war were untolded
and with them the utter ruthlessness of
the Prussian rulers the interest of our
people was maintained in GIBBS and flows,
now hot, now cooler. Next came the
formal entry of the United States into
the war accompanied by violent out
burst of enthusiasm, only to be tempered
somewhat as the people learned OF the
nations inability to do much effective
field work for long time. Now, with
the advent of sizeable American army
on the fields of France and with the
Germans making very heavy thrust at
the throat of the entente alliance the in
terest of the American people has been
whipped into almost fierce intensity.
The main topic of conversation in the
United States to-day is the progress of
the battle west of st. Quentin, whether
the allies will be able to hold their
ground, whether the American troops
will be able to bring their strength to
help swing the balance in favor of the
allies. Since 1898 the American people

The only thing we regret in the an

PUT THE ADDED DAYLIGHT TO
GOOD USE.

: bptD 1 pr.
The daylight saving scheme with its
attendant early rising in the morning
seems to have started off without
marked cashing of the cogs in the ma
chnery People accepted the idea with
good grace if not with actual satisfaction
and they proceeded to go about the daily
round of duties an hour earlier in order
to give the greater amount OF daylight
for production. In accepting this extra
hour of daylight we should not overlook
the purpose for which it was chiefly in
tended. The main idea Of daylight is to
permit the people in factory, stoneshed
store, office or any place where the hours
of labor are fixed to- engage in some
gainful occupation along the line of pro
ductivity, preferably gardening. There
fore. all who have land which they can
devote to production or who are able TO
lease land for that purpose are urged to
make their plans now for engaging in
that sort OF WORK III the houls AZ thei
disposal after the usual days labor. The
daylight saving scheme was not intended
merely to give the people long time
for loafing during the daylight but to
speed up the normal industry of the
country in order to meet the extra de
mands brought about by the war. Let
us not mistake the idea of daylight say.

of fact, the war OF 1898 was only an in

now being fought out, and there is abun.
dant reason for us to become more alb

Montpelier is to be congratulated on
the success of its efforts to secure a war
chest fund from which to meet the va
rious legitimate demands for war relief
during the present year 1t is no slight
task to secure $4,000 in any community,
not because the people are unwilling to
give to war charities but because a large
number may prefer to meet the calls as
the calls come along, by means of sep
srate campaigns; but the canvass in
Montpelier was persisted in until the

goal was reached and the city will be
able to meet its quota without resort to
drives" Nevertheless, il is probable
that the war chest idea will not preclude
the contribution by individuals If they
so desire from time to time, because
there must be good many Montpelier
people who have not contributed to the
war chest fund who will desire to help
out in some particular cause.
