MRS. COLE RECEIVES
LETTER PRAlSlNG SON

Mrs a. T. Cole, 1926 w. Washington
av., has received letters from the
and chaplain of the company
TO which her son, Clyde A, was at
tached at the time of his death,
which occurred on the morning of
Nov II, during the last drive of the
war. Mrs. Cole has also received
word from her son, Sergt. John II.
Pittman, who is serving in the A. r.
+. with Co. c, 18th infantry, stating
that his unit is now identified with
the army Of occupation, but is hop
ing after / s months of active service
that the next stop" will be America.
Portions of the letter from the
captain of her sons company, writ
ten to Mrs. Cole follow:
My dear Mrs. Cole:
You have doubtless been notified
by the war department that your
on Nov. II, lighting TO the last in
the great cause of right.
Today all of the American boys
here are writing Christmas letters 10
their parents at home. Those few
who so splendidly made the supreme
sacrifice of liberty and equality can
not write. AS captain of Co. B, and
as lover Of humanity, l write you
in hum BILE thankfulness for the serv-
ices of your son, hoping at the same
time that this message may serve to
fill partially the aching void in a
grief-stricken mothers heart. / am
not writing in hope Of alleviating the
sorrow for a loss that is irreparable;
but 1 write because I, too, have a
mother and am. therefore, anxious
to offer what consolation I can to
the mother of B Co. man who died
true to her teachings and true to
his country's ideals.
I thought that perhaps IL would
be some consolation for you TO know
that your son lost his life on the
morning of Nov. II in the first wave
of the S1st division advance on
Hautecourt, about 90 kilometers
northeast of Verdun, and he lies
buried with his comrades in the little
American cemetery near Moranville,
department of the Meuse, France.
He was a good soldier and died
nobly. acting under orders. Ours
was the cause Of right against
wrong. I can think OF no more
glorious death. 1 offer you the con-
ISOLATION to be found in the realiza-
ton of this fact, and call TO your
mind the words of Jesus Christ: He
who loseth his life for my sake will
find it" Sincerely yours,
Charles r. Bagley

THE OIL SITUATION IN NEyICO

The bare facts of the Mexican oil
question, unclouded by propagandists
and entirely established by the stand of
four foreign governments are:
The Mexican government has enacted
laws providing for the despoiling of
foreign oil producers and investors in
lands in Mexico.
The American government has pro-
tested: the American companies have
brought suit in the Mexican courts.
Pro-Carranza publicists--cannot justify
the steal; they turn to dragnet, birdshot
calumny Of those they would despoil.
The American government has said,
'Thou shalt not steal" The Mexican
propagandsts reply, "Those who have
what we covet are working for war"
And into the campaign Of calumny have
fallen the American correspondents in
Mexico (who must leave II they fail to
co-operate), some Of the American news
papers. clerical bodies assured that their
rights will be protected, and who ap-
parently wish to see other Americans
despoiled. and certain American publica-
tons that do not yet know that in shout
ing they are working for intervention"
they are crossing their own government
in matter of great moment and en-
couraging those who would make the
American diplomatic attitude a silly
joke.
Intervention may come, but il it does
1t will be because Of the absolute failure
of the Mexican government to live up to
its international obligations. and not be-
cause the oil companies insist only upon
recognition Of legally acquired rights

THE UNITED STATES OF TURKEY

Abram I. EllSus in the World Outlook
The Turk, while he may be a conqueror
has failed -ignally to be a real admins
traitor. He has failed to understand the
theory or the practice Of government-not
only OF his own people but of those ma
tions which he has conquered.
There are many problems to be solved
First what is to be done with Constanti-
nople? All the nations of the earth, ex-
cept America, have coveted and still covet
wonderful city, this great port opening
the way TO all of southern Russia, per-
hitting access to the Black sea.
Should the Turks be driven from
Europe as punishment for the cruelty
of their government toward the
Armeniane? Between 100000 and 100000
Moslem Turks live in that part of Turkey
in Europe between Constantinople and
Adrianople. They and their families have
lived there for 800 years--and it might be
almost as cruel to deport them from their
homes as it was to send out the hundreds
of thousands Of Armenians to massacre
and death.
Could the Turkish Empire be placed
under international control, leaving the
land and its peoples as 1t is. and allow
ing each nation to work out its own SAL
walton? This plan has been proposed.
Or could a confederation of all these
countries be made-a sort Of United
States of Turkey? 1t is proposed that
Some Of the States would be free, some
partly free. under the guidance or pro-
tectorate of some great foreign power.
All would have some measure of indie
pendence and a chance of working out
complete self-government as time goes

PEACE IN ATHLETIC TERMS

The League of nations discussion was
joke for a time but it is now taking
on a serious turn in Vermont The
Swanton Courier translates a coming
match for the promotion of peace in
fighting terms thus
Elmer Johnson and Martin Villas are
booked for a u round bout on the League
of Nations mat at st. Adams. Elmer is
said to be. an able exponent Of peace
and will spar strictly in accordance with
approved league rules. On the other
hand word comes from the Villas train
ing camp that the gingery senator is in
the best condition and has a few side
jabs not mentioned in any book of rules,
with which. he feels confident he can
floor his peace-loving adversary. While
we do not anticipate that there will be a
Knockout and have no fear but that the
bout will go the full IL rounds, we do
expect some fast stepping, and incident
ally fine chance for some of us to get
rid of some of our ignorance"

OLD VERMONT ROADS
(By Daniel l.. Cady)

(By Daniel l.. Cady)
The old-time roads. they used to run
Right over all the hills and rises,
And made the shortest kind of cut
To get to Bennng Wentworth's
prizes;
They wasn't tipped with tepid tar,
They might have made shofer
cavil
But they was all the kind of roads
Our settler fathers had to travel.
They run them roads from town to
town
About the way they shot a rife:
A river didn't change their course.
mountain made em bend a trifte !:
Oh. yes; they jest was "water-bound"--
No grease or graft or even gravel,
But still they averaged bout as good
AS what we modern "dusties" travel
The fathers didn't walk abroad
Arrayed in pumps and Paris slippers;
They took no hikes along the mixes,
They never posed as Sunday trip
pers"
They didn't wash their socks with lux,
Or rense 'em out in eau de tavel
And where they went they had to go
That's why the fathers used to
travel.
It's bout the same with us TODAY.
You don't back out your painting
fivver
To take pleasure ride-not much
And get an embolismic liver:
You know jest how shell-hole looks.
You've seen all sorts of Surface"
ravel.
You know that when you near a
bridge
You'll see it billed, Unsafe for
Travel"
And when a highway hit a grant
In them old days. it didn't schism,
But plowed right through to Center
Like highbrows chasing up an ism
And there they built a, hard-shell
church,
But didn't fool with soft shell
gravel
The road the circuit-rider used
Was good enough for all to travel.
The teams from Albany got through,
The stages seldom missed in Summer,
The sacred cod was right on hand
But not as yet the Boston drummer:
He didn't come until he heard
The rap of Trades compelling gayel.
And all the road he counted on
Was one a travelling man could
travel.
It's great to trace them roadways now
Through WORKOUT field and back lot
moving:
The suller holes and lilac trees
Still show where life was once a.
flowing;
They're smoother now than lots OF
pixies"
All dum-dummed up with soft-nose
gravel
! often wish we had 'em back,
I Them roads the fathers used to
travel.

THE SPIRIT OF HELPFUL SERVICE

The people of Burlington in common
with those Of every other community in
the land were wonderful in their CO.
operation and efficiency in all their war
activities and various other movements
for the benefit of our soldier boys abroad
and for the cause of America in all
directions. Now that peace has returned
we are all in a pugnacious mood. Every
body wants to fight or to see a fight
among ourselves We feel this spirit in
Burlington. 1t is manifesting itself in a
similar way not only in our municipal
government but also in our economic and
class conflicts throughout the nation.
The very atmosphere scenes charged with
the eiectrifying current of conflict,
How do you account for this sudden
transformation? We diagnose the case
thus While war was in progress, we
forgot all our differences of religion and
politics and social demarcatons and so
on in the face of common danger that
for the time being made us in effect
one people. We were under a tre-
mendous strain not only of apprehension
but also of pent-up pugnacity. Finally
the war got on our nerves." as the say
ing is.
Now that peace has returned We no
longer feel the necessity of sinking our
differences for the promotion Of the COM
mon welfare. We are inclined to "let CO.
of ourselves, and our immediate neigh
bors get the benefit of our taking of
the lid" We are all small boys again
eager to hit head wherever we SEE
It.
If we could only realize the full nature
and significance of the present situation
we would try to be patient and tolerant

Omaha, summarized the present situation
in the following language: .
I'VE do not favor pause in the In
dustrial process to await some future
readjustment Of wages and prices of
staples. So far as public improvements
are concerned. they should be resumed
at once. 1t is better that the public
should absorb the increased cost, If any
should hereafter appear, than that gene
raj unemployment and consequent dis
aster and social disorder should follow.
I'VE believe also that the promoters
OF private construction and business en-
larsement should take heart of courage
and should believe in the immediate re-
sumption Of business prosperity in the
United States. There is no place in the
American scheme of things for the pes
sirnist or the doubter. Our country to-
day leads the world in prosperity. It
can lose It's leadership only by its own
faint-heartedness. We especially depre-
cate any concerted holding back of con-
struction and businss resumption, for the
purpose Of forcing reduction in wages
or cost Of material.
Both as a means Of stimulating the
resumption OF industry and removing the
shadow Of unemployment from the work.
Ing people and also serve the broader and
more permanent purpose Of supplement-
Ing the railroad lines and to develop the
inland and farm commerce of the country,
the work Of constructing good roads should
be promptly carried on by cooperation Of
the federal and State governors and local
communities"
We should all favor extensive road and
public improvements campaigns. These
can be made a success only when they
are supported by our citizens. For this
reason. the farmer as we'll as the city
dweller, who understands how impor-
family building and construction work
now is affecting general business condi-
lions, will back up his local officials in
every reasonable campaign for road build
ing and public works of necessary sort.
