We are still in Montoire and from

several months-have given up all
hopes of getting home soon and will
feel fortunate if am back by the Alb
Of July.
We are fixed up pretty nice and
comfortable, that is, for army life and
if we must remain in France then I'd
prefer to remain as we are--there is
only ifty-two of we boys here now as
about fifty-five left the other day to
join the rest of the company which is
stationed near Tours.
The company hasn't been together
since we left Gierrcs and don't think
we will ever get together until we are
ready to start home. We have been
split up in small detachments of
forty and fifty and scattered around
in different parts of France. The
boys in Tours are building roads
while the only thing we are doing
here is guard duty. Am sending you
the long promised pictures which are
none too good but they'll give you
fair idea of how | look and perhaps

The Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe doctrine-the prin-
ciple under which the United States
neither joins in European entangle-
ments nor permits encroachments of
any foreign power upon the Ameri-
can continent--has been for a CEN
fury past an integral part of the
United States policy. 1t was instill-
ed into US all at an early age, side by
side with the doctrines and catechism
Of our especial religious sect. The
nation at large has faint idea that
it could get along without any one
religious body, but it has firm con-
viction, that the Monroe doctrine is
the sine qua non of America.
Now the plan is for America to
take her part in a wider world and be-
come member of the League of
Nations. She is willing to do this
and to help ensure peace upon earth
| if that is possibility. But she does
not want to emulate the dog of the
fable and drop known and sure
good in reaching out for a problema-
teal greater and indefinite one.
The League of Nations for Amer
lea and the world! SO far, so good.
But first and foremost, renewed
recognition of the Monroe doctrine
to safeguard the interests of America.

HISTORICAL ROADS
CHAPTER "
The County Industries.

in the face OF industrial changes
which have revolutioniZed the other
New England states, the population
OF Vermont has continued largely de-
pendent for support upon the prod
nets of the soil" If RoSsiter can say
this OF Vermont as a whole, il is more
largely true of Orleans county, since
543cc Of the people OF the county live
in farming communities as contrast
ed with $3.50 for the whole state.
These percentages are based upon the
Census Bureau classification Of all
towns having over $500 inhabitants
as urban. The actual urban pOpula-
ton OF the county, / G. OF the lncOr-
porated villageS,is only $3.50 of the
total Vermont IS considered the most
distinctly rural state Of the East, and
Orleans Is eighth among the counties
IN proportion OF rural 70 urban This
section OF the state has been less at
fected By the modern industrial move
ment than the others, due 10 the
northern location, far from the larger
manufacturing centers-
Prior 10 1860 the communities Of
the county were largely self-depen-
dent and wholly self-sufficient There
were no villages OF size, and the in
habitants Of the small villages were
wholly dependent upon the farms for
their living, and all manufactures,
except those OF the household type,
were unknown. The only products
from the county were such products
as potash salts, hops, butter. some
maple sugar. and meat. which were
relatively valuable for their bulk and
livestock which could be driven TO
market Each year large fOcks and
herds and huge loads OF produce were
taken 10 Boston IN trips OF two or
three weeks duration Needless TO
say, city-made articles were few IN

In addition 70 these above ~ de-
veloped and 81 undeveloped powers
are reported. Since the amount Of
water IN the smaller streams is often

view to proving that the result greatly exaggerated the preponder' ance of the republicans.
 The contention is that the only true way to arrive at Irish opinion is by proportional representation. Ii is suggested that the new conven- ton should consist of los members elected by the existing constituencies so grouped as to have ten members for each group, each elector having a single transferable vote. The sole function of the convention would be to prepare scheme of self-govern- ment.
 In Sim Fein quarters the plan finds no favor, and there is no req son to suppose that they would of- fcially recognize the new convention any more than the old one. The Ul- ster party, which came into the old convention, would be hostile to the new one. The antagonists on both extremes stand pat"
