The department Of agriculture is
planning to aid in keeping the trunk
highways open for automobile and mo
tor traffic through the winter. Its part
is to be performed through the weather
bureau which will warn the road au-
thorities of the approach of any serious
snow storms in their jurisdiction so
they may have a force of men ready
when the storm arrives to keep the
roads open. Whether the plan will work
or not must be determined later, but
we have a suspicion that when +" Yer
mont thaw' 1.-TWO feet of snow and a
hi of blow arrives up in this neck
of the woods, it will be difficult to
compel men to work through it and
keep the highways in condition for au.
tomobile use. 1t will give the depart
ment an opportunity TO spend more
money and keep more men in COM
Portable Office in Washington but it
viii not remove the snow or prevent it
from piling up into impossible drifts
Vermont is not in position to keep its
highways open for automobile traffic
the ysar around and we suspect Yer
monters are wise enough not to try it.

THE BELGIAN CALL

The president during his visit to Belgium said:
II believe that Belgium and her part in the war are in
one sense the key Of the whole struggle, because the vio-
lation of Belgium was the call to duty which aroused che
nations"
The statement is historically accurate and the truth
is its own justification. The Germans around the Belgian
border fired shots heard around the world. The attack
on peaceful Belgium did not differ Fundamentally from
the attacks on France ana Russia; but the wantoness was
so concrete, the crime 80 heinous, that a great bell was
rung; the world, despite a propaganda that had poisoned
many, many minds, began to understand. 1t took long to
organize the International posse. Specific offense, as in
our case, needed to be added to spur action, but the Bel
sian story sank deeper and deeper. The decisive battle
did not occur in Flanders. but in a very real sense, Ger
many lost the war there. Even Lenine and Trotzky, de-
spite their lack of a sense of moralities, squirmed when
it was pointed out that they proposed to abandon Bel
GUM. The little country on the Mevse and the scheldt
was true to herself and to the world, and what her de-
spoiler was compelled to pay will be a mighty beacon
warning against aggressive war.
That our president bore witness as he did is not only
Of world value, but Of national value. The Belgians are
little acquainted with the minutae Of American discuss
sion preceding our entry. They are not mindful of the
indifferentisn that once existed. They see the America
which first fed through Rockefeller philanthropy, ana
then acted nationally before it was too late. And our
spokesman they hear declaring that the voice of Belgian
heroisn carried across the sea. In view of the fact that
this country at last arrived, and now these words of gen.
erous recognition. there is no disposition to examine NICE
ly whether our footsteps were always straight to the goal.
If they wandered, ample apology has come. and to Amer
lean historians is left the question of who followed and
who led here-who educated and who was educated.
Americans are proud and sentimental. 1t is salvins
to their pride and agreeable to their sentiments to have
it made clear that whatever their mistakes they were not
prompted by ignobility. They are sensitive, perhaps over
sensitive. to foreign opinion, and the ywish to be present.
ed properly abroad. They have a passion for wanting
their president to justify America to the world. Thus
they rejoice in his testimony that Belgium sounded the
call Of duty to us-New York Times. \
