Militarists Proven Wrong.

The war has proved that the French
militarists were wrong and that
Jaures was right. 1t was the theory
of the immediate use of mere cover
ing troops which lost France the first
battles In 1914. A the present time
there is scarcely a general who does
not admit that a years training Is
quite sufficient to make an excellent
soldier provided the proper frame
work OF officers eists.
There is tendency to evolve to-
ward the Swiss system, although it is
felt that this can hardly be adopted
Immediately. NJ. Messimy, a former
minister of war. thinks it may be
necessary to keep two classes under
the army-that is to say, maintain a
two-year service until Germany's dis
position to meet all obligations is as
certained. But he adds: The war
has proved that strong regiments and
even reserve officers can be formed
by eight to twelve months service,
provided always that there is really
good framework and hard work not
in garrisons, but in instruction camps
Let me further affirm that the reor-
ganfzation of the army in the modern
spirit is intimately connected with a
reform of ideas and customs so that
gence and education Of becoming an
officer shall become one whether he
wants to or not
For New Military System.
NJ. Barthou. who as premier sue

the three-year law. says that France
should not formulate a new military
system until it is clear what the new
frontiers will be: what will be Ger

| France will be able to count upon,
and what really effective force the
league of nations will have.
M. Painleve, former premier and
minister Of war, whose trend of mind
Is very liberal and perhaps socialistic
says: "A national army is the safe
guard OF democracy. 1 remain abso-

THE HAWKER EXPERIMENT AND
THE RESCUE.

All that has been said about the fool
hardness of the attempt of Hawker and
Grieve to make the crossing of the At
lantic ocean in light airpane remains
in force despite the fact that the daring
ayiators were rescued and are now safe
and well. Their little machine went
wrong-the water circulation of the mo-
tor, the press reports state-and they
were forced to come down in mdocean.
1t SO happened that they alghted in the
path of ship and were promptly saved
from a watery grave, their machine soon
being lost. The next time there might
not be ship handy by so that they
would wait in vain for rescue as long
as their frail craft remained on top of
the water and then they would go down
as practically everybody supposed they
had persisted in their initial fight-all
except, perhaps, the little Mrs Hawker
who sat in her home in England and
would not give up hope that her hus-
band was still alive. An airplane not
fitted with boat attachments such as the
seaplanes carry should not be used as
vehicle for transatlantic fight until
such time as the airplanes mechanism
is perfected far beyond the present stage
of efficiency.
II is to be hoped, therefore, that Haw-
ker and Grieye, as well as the other
hopeful aspirants for the prize of $4,000,
will not repeat the daring experiment
which ended in failure for Hawker and
Grieve and which came so near to caus-
ing their deaths. OF course, the millions
of people who have followed this expert.

that sufficient force of Americans will
not be left in Germany, basing the opin-

be unduly alarmed because the regular

larger army than the entire standing

Senator Knox vindication.

The dispatches which describe the
qualification felt in allied circles over the
Chinese consortium, by which the Brit.
ish, French, japanese and American
banking groups agree to help China
financially, must be pleasant reading to
Senator Knox. As secretary of state in
the Taft cabinet, he started in to devel
OPP a common.sense relationship between
American banking interests and China,
and offered to use the good offices Of
diplomacy to protect the interests of the
bankers without, however, involving our
government in any financial response.
bility But Bryan, who came into office
with President Wilson, would have none
of this frank and honest and open rela-
tionship of the department Of state and
the proposed financing Of China through
the group of foreign and American bank
ers. Consequently, with that perverse
ofIiciousness that was so typically
Brvanesque, he upset all of Mr. Knox
plans, threw suspicion on the perfectly
honorable arrangement and, in an ex
hibition of what was virtually puerile
spite, used the words dollar diplomacy"
in deprecatory and derogatory sense, as
if the bankers and the Taft administra-
tion and Senator Knox and the officials
Of other nations were lot Of cheap
bunco- teerers.
OF course, the glorifers Of the Wilson
administration gulped down the phrase
with adyidity, the president accepted the
viewpoint of his secretary of state, and
it has taken the critical situation de-
veloped by the great war TO prove how
sensible and how safe and reasonable

Thinks There Is Social Cancer in Barre

Further developments in the heinous

nevertheless, that much of Barre's rot

ties to probe for decayed spots and not
wait until they manifest themselves in a
similar scandalous way.-Rutland News.

CURRENT COMMENT
Bicycle Riding on Sidewalks.

The newspapers at Barre and Burling
ton are voicing complaints of the side
walk bicycle fends" II is doubtful If in
any town the regulations prohibiting
bicycles from travelling on the sidewalks
are held in more indifference than they
are in Rutland. They are an mmiti-
gated nuisance, There ought TO be at
once and periodically examples made OF
those who disregard the ordinance re-
lating to the practice. If the sidewalks
are to be reserved for pedestrians, as
they are intended, the price to be paid
is everlastingly keeping at those on
wheels.--Rutland News.

time, would have convinced the Demo.

If the United States declines to act as
mandatory to countries in the far east
ern world it would not be surprising or
unreasonable either, because the United
States is so far away from the country
under the mandate that the effect would
be more or less nullifed in spite of the
fact that the United States is looked
upon as great and powerful nation 1t
would seem that those far eastern coun-
tries could be better administered by
some nations lying geographically closer

That "Lewisite" composition, a gas
which was capable Of wiping out every
living thing in city the size of Berlin,
seems to be too terrible an agency Of
death to be seriously considered by the
United States as weapon of warfare
1T is said that ten airplanes carrying
containers of the gas could have bombed
the city of Berlin and destroyed even
the vegetable life of that whole area,
together with all human life and animal
life thereon gathered After such an at
tack Berlin would have been but a
haunted city--stark, staring, empty
buildings, nothing more. In the twink
ling of an eye, so to speak, great, busy,
busting metropolis would have been re-
duced to a vast tomb of dead things
Even New York City with all its teem-
ing life would have been wiped out--so
far as existence is concerned by the
single days output of "Lewisite" from
the factory where it was being manu-
featured in the closing days of the war.

credit to the scientific genius of the
American mind but the unprovoked use
