Patience Urged.

Berlin, Dec. 25.-On the occa- sion of Christmas the German government today addressed to its citizens who are prisoners of war the saluation of the Fatherland, begging them to have confidence in it and to support their suffer- ings for short time until they can be returned to their native land.
 "The Paris press," he said, "even announced our readiness to deliver over all the harbor material we could spare without endangering our economic existence, as compen- sation for the Scapa Flow sinkings, and forecast an early agreement on this question. If we did not get that far it was not our fault. Our experts have not been asked to talk the matter over since a week ago."
 Baron Won Lersner asserted that according to the verbal communi- cation of M. Dutasta, at the time of the delivery of the note, the entente made a diminution in the mort tonnage demanded, conditional upon verification of Germany y's claim that the entente estimates ot the harbor material available were erroneous. ,,.
 q want to say in this connec- tion." he continued, "that the state ments in the French press that we were disloyal and gave out wrong figures on this tonnage, IS abso- lutely unfounded. This, the inves, tigation would prove. l promised M. Dutasta to ask my government to give all facilities for such .l n. ]. vestigation, w and do not doubt that they will be accorded at once.

The Farmers, Eight Hour Day.

The state grange OF Massachusetts
has one on record aaginst "a 44-hour
week for work" as an impossibihty in
the case of the farmer A farmer was
once asked ii he believed in eight hours
work on the farm. He replied that
such was his rule already; Eight
hours before dinner and eight hours
after There is too much truth in this
story The reply was joeose, but il
was too near the necessity of the case
to be funny. The grange knows, and
all men familiar with farm work
know, that no eight hour day is pos
sible in farm labor, if the farms are
to produce the necessary supply Of
foodstuffs. Nor can a farmer make a
living by eight hours work, Nor can
he make living IN farm run by
eight. hour day labor. Under such re-
gime the cost of living would soar to
an impossible level. More of the farms
would be abandoned, if they had to be
cultivated upon that principle. The
present great need in this country is
increased production rather than less
work. The work Of the world can new
err be done by an eight-hor day.
Where an eight hour day has super
seeded longer day production has fall
en- off in at least as large a proper
ton as the work day has shortened.
Certainly no farmer can ever run his
farm upon the eight hour day princi-

CHRISTMAS At
STATE INSTITUTIONS
Preparations Are Well Under Way for
Appropriate Christmas.
Entertainments.

There are several hundred children at
Vermont industrial school at Vergennes
and school for feeble minded at Bran
don, to whom Christmas means much,
but could mean much more. The school
work at these institutions includes
proper attention to the significance of
holidays, and the superintendent and
teachers do everything within their
means to bring real cheer to those i'm
portant citizens of the state, whose
pleasures at Christmas time have per-
haps been limited, through no fault of
their own.
Vermonters are not asked to deprive
anyone of Christmas gifts, but to give
to these children anything that can be
given with cheerfulness. Doubtless
there are many persons who will vel
come an opportunity at this season of
the year to supplement the effort of
the state, in being parents to large
family of children now in its care Con-
tributions or gifts may be sent to c.
w. Wilson, superintendent, at Yer
gennes, or to 7. j. Allen, NJ. D., super
intendent, at Brandon.
Books at this time, or at any time
Of year, and subscriptions to children's
magazines would be most acceptable.

SOLITARY PRISONER INSANE.
William Harris of Boston Only Inmate
of Windham County Jail.

Brattleboro, Dec. 22.--William Har,
ris of Boston, who went to Wilmington
about three weeks ago to work and
who was arrested there on a charge of
burglary, became insane Saturday in
the county jail at Newfane where he
was taken to await trial. He threat
ened to kill Jailer Howard NJ Burke.
States Attorney E. w. Gibson had
planned to prefer lesser charge
against him and have him tried to-day
in the municipal court here, but now
has asked Gov. p w. Clement to order
Harris transferred TO the state asylum
at Waterbury. Harris has been the
only prisoner in Newfane Jail the past
three weeks, and Gibson thinks the
practically solitary confinement may
have affected his mind.
