The good fortune which has again
come Middlebury colleges way is pleas
ing news to all Vermonters. A bequest
of 100000 from the will of the late Mrs
Russell Sage will go far toward estab-
fishing Middlebury on very sound
financial foundation, coming, as it does,
on top of recently acquired endowment
of 100000. In requests Middlebury has
been faring far better Of late than YER
mont's other two colleges.

The Rutland popuIace might have been
aroused at substantially the same time
but the mayor and other citizens in con
sultation decided that o'clock the min

The general impression hereabouts is that
there was wisdom shVwn in the Rutland
decision. Certainly the people had ample

Secretary of State Lansing makes a
palpable hit in recommending to the
German officials that they address some
of their appeals to the allies as well as
TO the United States. One might have
been led to suspect that the United
States had been the only foe of Germany
in this war. But Germany will have to
meet the reckoning with over score of

The steering gear of an automobile be-
longing to DR.. Alfred d. Barter of Mid
dlebury went wrong few days ago as
he was making a trip to Shoreham, and
the car went through fence and stopped
in a pasture about 40 rods from the
road. IT took five men and pair Of
horses to get the machine back into the
road and it was then towed to Middle
bury. A like accident occurred in Rut-
land Sunday, when the steering appar-

United States to defend those homes;
young men whose mothers kissed
them tenderly as they left and who
will be waiting for them on their re-
turn.
Decide right now how you will
greet your mother. Shall it be that
you will have to turn aside your head
because you dare not look her in the
eye? Shall it be that you must re-
turn as loathsome creature despised
even by yourself?
In last weeks issues of Trench and
Camp the story was told of the visit
of DR.. William ]. Dawson to the
European fighting front. He had three
sons in the service and he was en-
Uttered to think that he had been
compelled to surrender them, one
after the other. But when he went
Over There and saw that there was
glory and grandeur as well as horror,
he returned with the feeling that his
inrnitigablc duty was to be worthy of
his sons" There is another phase.
1t is the irnnlitigable duty of the sol
der under arms TO walk wortl1ily of
his parents.
Some men have come into the army
infected with horrible diseases. They
have been isolated at once.
The record Of such diseases con-
tracted while in service is surprisingly
low.
Let this thought be before you al
ways, there is a depth so low in which
it is possible to be SO degraded that
you cannot even die for your country.

WHY AMERICA FIGHTS GERMANY

The German Government has
drowned our citizens, sunk our ships,
destroyed our property. dnsulted our
Gag. contrary to all law and all hu-
mainly. Every such act was an act
OF war against us.
BY it's cruel and treacherous treat
ment of Belgium. and by Its manner
of waging war, it has excited the
horror of all decent people Mercy
and Justice through all the world are
at stake.
Its constant love and desire for
war proves Germany the greatest
menace on earth to the peace and
happiness of free peoples.
On our side are the democracies
of the world, great and small; on the
German side are. the autOcraeies of

specific sacrifices for the Government,
to carp and criticise.
Our Government has coInman-
deered the lives of millions of young
men, has taken them away from their
business, in thousands of instances
utterly destroying these businesses.
Our Government has Communicated
thousands of industries, taking them
over in toto and reserving to itself the
privilege of saying what the owners of
these businesses shall receive as COM
pensation.
Our Government has said to this
one hundred million stay-at-homes:
you buy Liberty Bonds-we don't
ask you to give your money, but to
invest it, and the investment we offer
is considered the best in the world.
You stay-at-homes are urged to save,
to save for your future, to make sac
ri6cc of the little luxuries you have
been accustomed to that you may lend
these savings to the Government,
Your life and your property arc re-
served TO you and your savings will
be returned TO you with an unusual
interest rate"
When we feel inclined to criticise
the non-perfornance by our Govern
ment we should search our own rec
ord very carefully and see if we have
done our best. We should possess our
souls in patience and confidence,
Trust in God and keep our powder

Like a great artery traversing
France, the combined railways OF the
North and South reach the heart OF
the country at Paris. The traveller
from Normandy to Provence finds the
greatest variety in landscape, soil and
the character Of the people. If he
lands, say at Dieppe, and meets the
Seine at Rouen, he is impressed at
once with the ordered, busy look of
things. The excellent French roads
begin here, never to end. They and
the small, placid streams are Dor
dered by alders and by the tall sym
metrica1 rows of Normandy popiars.
The fields are tended by shrewd,
wizened peasants, and the tenacious
character of the Norman race appears
In its industry as we'll as in its agri-
culture.
The Ile-de- France, the old province
surrounding Paris, is today too highly
metropolitan to preserve many Of its
ancient characteristics. We will sup
pose that our traveller takes the fast
day train on the P. L. NJ to Mar
settles. He will skirt Champagne,
now battle-scarred, where before the
war were found such valuable vine
yards. In spite OF the sparkle of It's
wine and its wit, Champagne is re-
puted a fat, prosaic country, given
over to industry rather than to beau
ty. The traveller will find the land
sca2e and the people more exuberaut
as he penetrates Burgundy, through
Dijon, Macon and Lyons. This
province, which we associate nat
urally with ancient dukes and
modern wines, is an .amiable and hos
pitable land of sunny hillsides and
fair women. The industry OF such a
town as Lyons, which has developed
tremendously during the war, has
never forbidden an enthusiasm for
the ideal and the poetic In fact, in
Burgundy you seem already 60 be
entering the South.
The Midi proper begins just be-
low. Leaving out the rough and once
volcanic country of Auvergne, the
railroad, following the Rh6ne, has
on its left hand Dauphin6 and on its
right Languedoc. In Dauphin6, to-
wards the eastern border, are the
monastery of the Grande Chartreuse
and the university town of Grenoble,
with its fine circle of mountains.
Languedoc is stony land of salty
ponds. including the great plain Of
the Crau; but the unhealthy spots

perfumes and flowers and periodically

ciples on which our democracy and
all others are founded.
Germany plans to dominate the
Old World from its center, and today
has largely accomplished the plan.
In few years 1t will be too late TO
stop her.
Germany's ambitions for expansion
in the New World have shown that
we should have to f1ght Germany
later, II not now; and without help,
instead of with the help OF all other
great free peoples.
To fight Germany now is the only
way to make the World Safe for
Democracy; to make sure that little
: american babies, our little brothers
and sons, shall not have to do It, but
shall grow up free from the night
mare of militarism, susp. ion and
fear America is a peaceabA, 4 nation:
II we wish to remain so, we ust wiz

Its farther shore, like a gem OF the
ulous port OF Msrseilles.
Our traveller may then turn east,
and pursue the line of the Riviera to
the Italian border. He will pass the
naval base of Toulon, through the;
cosmopolitan resorts of Cannes and
Nice-and once he might have found
the end OF his journey at Monte Car
10. But row all that is changed. The
casinos are closed and the great
pleasure-land OF the Riviera is trans~
formed into a superb array Of hose
pitfalls. The almost tropical land
scape with the blue sea beyond, tbs
scalloped line OF the Maritime Alps
and the rich perfumes OF many gar
dens must be a delight to weary and

We have descended France rather
toward the eastern edge. II the trav~
eler wishes to go back north, bearing
more to the west, he must follow
more devious ways. He will again
pasa through Marseilles, heading for
Gascony. Before leaving Languedoe
he will undoubtedly visit Carcass
some, the great fortress of the Mid
die Ages, and he may we'll rest as
Toulouse, the centre of the southern
basin, sweltering, old-fashioned
city. Below him will be a land OF
torrents coming from the Pyrenees, q
picturesque shepherds country. the
fantastic shrine OF Lourdes and Sara
cen and other ruins, Above him
stretch the spacious fields of Gas
cony, with their vines and cities OF
sonorous names-Cahors and Mon
tauban-suggesting Maurice Hewlett
and the troubadours.
The Garonne, supplying this rec
gion, broadens out into the Gironde
near Bordeaux, a city which happily
combines stately old architecture with
many modern features. In the center
of the west lie Potion and Anjou; adj
joining the latter is sweet and sleepy
Touraine, that country of monks and
princely chateaux the home of Rabe-
lais and BalZac Quite near Paris lie
Orleans and the cathedral town of
Chartres; to the west again the prov
ince of Maine, and finally the rude
reef of Brittany pushes out It's
prov into the stormy Atlantic.

In one of the great cantonment base
hospitals young soldier lay ill. The
chaplain of his regiment was his own
pastor, the minister who had held him
in his arms and had baptized him.
The chaplain approached the ward.
The soldier saw him and hid under
the covers. But the chaplain was too
quick.
What are YOU doing in this
warde" asked the chaplain, note of
mingled questioning and pity in his
voice.
Then the soldier told his story. It
was not at all uncommon. He was
afflicted with a dread disease, which
had terrible hold upon him.
Yesterday minister was in" said
the soldier. Il told him my story and
lie said: I think the best thing for you
to do is to go Over There and to die
gloriously. But leave your body over
there"
The boy was silent for a moment.
Then he told his chaplain: II found
out this morning, they won't have rue
for service Over There. ! am not good
enough even to be killed"
Has it ever been put that way to
you, young soldier, that in order to
tight for your country you have TO be
good enough to stand in the ranks and
live with decent men? For the Arncri-
can army is not made up of diss olute
boys who have wasted their substance
In riotous living. 1t is made up of
young men that have been called from
their homes by the Government of the

The average individual not engaged
in war service or some of its various
stay-at-horne activities is more or less
nervous or irritated over, the failure
of our Government to meet all of the
demands made upon it by the present
crisis and exigency. The natural in
clination is to criticise and charge it
with inefficiency.
We should remember that cur Gov
eminent has been devoting itself to
those lines of thought and activity
that had to do more with the develop
ment of the country than of the indi-
vidual. Its energies have all been di-
rected along peaceabIe lines, appar-
entity with the idea that such a thing
as war belonged to the past ages.
When we suddenly awoke to the
fact that one nation has been special
izing in war for one hundred years or
more and had developed the best sys-
tenn of offense that the human mind
could conceive of, we can readily ap-
preciate the tremendous disadvantage
under which the enemy nations of
Germany are laboring.
1t is not becoming in the individual
American, who is allowed to enjoy his
or her usual home comforts and has
not yet been called upon to make any
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-05-22

Enlisted Strength of Navy
 Being Reduced.

Reduction of the enlisted strength of the navy has com menced, Secretary Daniels said Monday, and applications for discharge by men both in reg ular service and in the reserve divisions are being received. First consideration is being given, he added, to youths seek ing to return to school or to po- sitions in civil life, which they gave up to join the naval forces. Daniels did not indicate the ex- tent to which the reduction in strength was planned to go. It has been intimated previously that the navy could spare 5O,- 600 men during the month.
