The American casualty lists being fur
nished by the war department from day
to day are notable not alone for their re-
duced proportions but for the diminution
of the died-from disease section, the
change in the latter respect indicating
that the epidemic which swept the fight.
ing forces as well as the civilians is be-
ing placed we'll under control. The died
from disease section caused grave appre-
hension among those who read the cas-
ualty lists thoughtfully because they in
dicated that the epidemic was working
powerfully among the American forces
and might reach stage to cause great
alarm. Hence there is satisfaction that
this part of the casualty lists is going
down along with the other parts. There
is reason to hope that the lists Of major
casualties may be stopped entirely with
in week or ten days, although the lists
of minor casualties may continue for a
considerable time longer.

PATRIOTIC SERVICES OUGHT TO BE
RECOGNIZED

With the disbandment of many war
organizations connected with the United
States government, large number of
patriotic citizens are relinquishing their
dollar week jobs and are going back to
their own businesses As they wind up
their duties in the national capital and
return to their homes they deserve most
certainly the thanks of the people of the
nation as a whole. They made a consid-
cradle sacrifice, many of them did, to
rally to the support of the country in its
time of need. 1t is probably true that a
percentage of them had their own bust
nesses so well organized that they could
enter upon the war work without great
loss of efficiency in their private bust
nesses; but, on the other hand, there
were many who had to choose between
patriotism and their own pocketbooks
and they chose patriotism, These latter
have suffered considerably in decrease of
income during the year or more that they
have been engaged in government work.
But they did it gladly. So one and all
of these leaders in their respective lines
of activities have the sincere thanks OF
the American people for the services they
have rendered in a most critical time.
Each one of them was merely a part of
the great war machine that the govern
ment built up but without them it would
have been impossible for the machine ia
work smoothly and efficiently. Therefore
in the aggregate they played a very i'm
portant part in the winning of the war
Their services ought to be fittingly re-
membered by Congress, not with the
protTer of money but with some form Of
official recognition, roll of honor, it
might well be,

monters at home have done many big
things. Our state boasts of the largest

calf skin business Of The world, the larg-
est output OF marble and granite Of the
world and the largest organ manufae.
tory of the world That is a pretty
good showing Of world leadership for
little state of less than 355,O00 inhabi-
tants While the heads Of these :nsti-
tutions have not accumulated as many
millions as many other captains of III
dustry, in each case they have accumu.
lated fortunes large enough sor any man
fortunes that yielded all the blessings
that wealth offers.
While no resident Of Vermont has ever
been president and probably never will
be, a good percentage Of Vermonters
have attained national prominence in po-
itical and judicial circles; and there is
still opportunity for men Of ability TO
attain high rank in the national coun-
ellis.
No other state in the union offers such
productive land at such reasonable prices
AZ the state Of Vermont. Vermont stands
high in average production per acre Of
wheat, corn, potatoes, tobacco, oats, bar
ley and hay. 1t produces more than twice
as much wheat per acre as the great
wheat growing states, much more corn
per acre than Illinois or Iowa and its
apples are acknowledged the best flaw
ored grown anywhere in this country.
It's reputation for maple sugar, poultry
and dairy products is so great that many
other states misbrand their products as
Vermont goods and reap large profits
from this deception.
Other things might be cited but when
it ia understood that Vermont has great
opportunities in its industrial, politic5h4
and agricultural life it should be sufii-
cient to attract the young and ambitious.
What we need is better understanding
of the opportunities right here at home,
definite comparison of the percentage
of success in Vermont and other states
and the development Of Vermont pride
in the hearts of young Vermonters.
/ There is opportunity to improve these ad-
vantages, to make thefG pull stronger at
the heart strings of our youth and to
appeal more strongly TO them to toll
and achieve among us; and these things
should be done We should not create

enough for the best of them 1t is and
we should try to make them large
enough for Vermont.-Battlebor Re

CURRENT COMMENT
The Disappointed.

There are a million and a half men,
more or less, in the United States who
were ready to 20 TO the front and could
not. Hundreds Of thousands of them en-.
dured the restraints of military life
CheerfuIly, their spirits upheld by the
thought that eventually they would en-

final test and then were unable TO fulfill

ing areas except on leave, The prize of
personal participation in the struggle
with the Germans was denied to some of
them only by days.
Here and abroad thousands of enlisted
men and officers who since the beginning
of the war have served at posts which
deprived them Of any immediate chance
of fighting have kept up their hope for
active service, They have believed that
somehow and somewhere they would be
able to get to the field and on it give
proof Of their faith and valor.
All of these men are bitterly dsap-
pointed. They are not sorry that an
armistice has been signed, that peace is
to be made but they deeply regret that
their own contribution to victory was
| made in a manner that did not meet
their highest aspirations. They wanted
to have a hand in smashing the Germans
in the way the veterans Of General Per
shing's combat troops did, and all their
lives they will mourn the fact that OPP.
portunity was not given to them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Suggests a Monument for All Heroes,

Editor of the Barre Daily Times: Re
membering your kindness in the past
tempted me 10 speak of something | have
had on my mind since reading the ar.
ticles as they have appeared from time
to time in regard to a memorial TO those
heroes OF your town who served in this
great world war, and hoped ! might see
something of my thoughts suggested in
some Of the comments made, In the let
ter written by your townsman, H. c.
Whitaker, | see this, Barre has built a
greater number of memorials to Amer
lean soldiers and sailors than any other
monument producing center and yet it
has never built one for its own soldiers
and sailors" ! have wondered if the
good people had forgotten the proposed
monument to be erected for the men OF
your town who fought in the Civil war
A few years back there was a mass meet
ing held in the opera house. Quite a sum
: Of money was pledged, committees were
appointed from all churches, clubs, So
cieties and business concerns to see how
much they would do to help carry the
work along. The first little drop in the
bucket" was $50, by Col j. b, Mead
circle, Ladies of the Grand Army, this
to be used to break the ground This
sum was placed in one of the banks and
remains with the interest to meet the
cost of throwing up the first shovelfuls
of earth for the brave men who offered
their lives back in the SOS to make this
country worth fighting for.
There is none of the men and women
living to-day that was touched by the
four years Of Civil war that their hearts
do not 60 out TO every khaki-clad lad
that they see, and feel they belong just
a little to them. A large majority, North
and South, are grandsons Of these same
old soldiers and we are eager to show
them the honor they SO richly deserve
The sacrifices seemed greater to leave
homeland and sleep in foreign soil. Let
us hope they may see this thing done
while in their prime and not wait until
only a handful remain with whitened
locks and bowed with age, and let me
suggest that there be one grand monu-
ment erected to all the men of your town
who served their country in the old war
of Revolution, the 1912, Civil and Spanish
wars, together with these heroes of to-
day. Something more than "a scrap Of
paper"
Thanking you for your kindness if
this does not find the scrap basket, re
main yours for love of country and the
men that fought its battles.

Governor Graham's statement of re-
cent date regarding his actions while
state auditor do not throw any particu-
lar light on the situation, possibly be-
cause, as he states, he does not desire to
try the cases against him in the columns
Of the newspapers. The trial itself may
therefore, be expected to bring out the
whole tangled tale. The entire state is
vitality interested in this matter; and
blame, If blame there be, must be placed
on the proper shoulders.

The story about a Windham county
farmer who killed seven deer in one sea-
son because the animals were damaging
his crops lends strength to the contention
that the carcasses of such slain animals
ought to go to the state rather than to
the persons killing the animals. If the
carcasses are delivered to the state, the
temptation will be removed from some
men who may stretch point in bringing
themselves TO believe that deer are really
damaging their crops. In saying this,
we mean no reflection on the man who
killed the seven deer because we have no
cognizauce of the details of the killings.
