THE BIG TRANSPORTATION PROB.
LEM THE UNITED STATES
SOLVED.

The magnitude of the task that is i'm.
posed on the United States government
to bring back our soldiers from Europe
is indicated by the announcement that
the maximum transportation now avail
able would permit the return of 100000
men a month. Were the maximum trans
portation to be put to the test steadily
it would require half year from this
date to bring back all the American sol.
diers who are now congregational various
parts Of western Europe, to say nothing
Of the good-sized army of war workers
who have been ministering to the needs
of the soldiers although not being OH
cially designated by the United States
army. In contemplation of the demands
for the return trip one is inclined to
marvel at the success of the effort at
transporting the troops eastward across
the Atlantic in such short time and one
is not inclined to scoff so much at the
German war lords who considered inter.
vention by the Americans in force as i'm
possible ere Germany should have fn-
shed with the foes facing her in the
summer of 1917. The accomplishment Of
American intervention grows in impor-
lance in the retrospect.

THE AMERICAN RETREAT IN
NORTHERN RUSSIA.

The retirement of the combined forces
of the Americans and the Russians before
the bolsheviki on the front south of
Arehangel is rather damaging to Amer
lean pride in arms, but it can only be
considered as an incident of the cam
paign, which, in turn, is but an incident
Of the great war itself Ii should be
borne in mind, too, that the American
force in the Archangel sector ,is extreme
ly small and should not be expected to
stand up against the hordes which the
bolsheviki are able to muster 1t was
stated from an authoritative if not Of
fetal source not very long ago that the
entire American force in that sector did
not exceed 5000. How much was truth
and how much was eamoufage back of
the statement does not appear even at
this time; but it is to be presumed that
the American force is very small at any
rate, as measured by the standard of the
American eXpeditionary force in western
Europe, So when we read that the Amer
lean army in the Archange sector is re-
firing before the bolsheviki we should
visualize the size of that American army,
which, as a matter of fact, is only a
small part of the normal American army
division.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Expert Lecturer to Tell How to Get Best
Results from Its Continuous Use.

One of the best things along eduea-
tioual lines that has come to our notice
recently, and which has secured a great
deal of eOmmendable publicity from
newspapers and letters Of endorsement
from business organizations in the larg.
est cities, is the lecture and moving pic
lures on retail merchandising that is be-
ing sent out by The National Cash Reg
lister Co., of Dayton, o. The Board Of
Trade has been able to secure this en-
tertainment for the benefit of the mer.
chants and clerks Of Barre, and it will be
presented at the opera house Wednesday
evening at S o'clock, Jan. 20.
The title OF the picture is THE Trou.
bles Of a Merchant and How TO Stop
Them" The feature film was made by
the Essanay company, at great expense,
and is pronounced one Of the cleverest
pieces Of work ever produced covering re
tail merchandising.
The lecture covers: Retail failures
their causes; store organization; news
paper advertising; window display;
clerks efficiency; selling methods; cred.
it business; delivery problems, and sys.
tenn in retail business.
Any one Of these subjects would be of
great interest to the merchants and
clerks and the one in particular which
should receive favorable consideration
from the business man to-day is the
value of newspaper advertising--iudi.
cously and constantly used, The lectur-
err will give some useful hints along these
lines, as well as other phases of efticien,
cy methods that will be helpful to the
merchant and clerk.
There will also be run humorous car
toou and altogether the program will be
one of the most pleasing entertainments
ever offered to our business men.

It has not yet been thought necessary
for the Vermont legislature to enact a
law prohibiting the shooting of ducks or
any wild fowls from airplanes; but, man
ifestly, such a law is likely to become
necessary if the airplane is to become
popularized and if we are to give the
ducks and other wild fowls a fair chance
to live Wild birds of this sort could be
all but exterminated in state like Yer
mont providing a few hunters should
take to the airplane as vehicle of carry
ing on their work. But until the airpane
becomes a more common object in Yer.
mont than at present there will be no
need of cluttering up the statute books
with legislation of that sort.
