MY THOUGHTS
AND ACTIONS

As regards Great Russia. our pol.

rector Krieg. worked directly in IA
vor Of the Bolshevists There is no
doubt that right thru the summer II
prevented us from forming a new
military front. This recognized.
On general grounds | held such a
policy to be short-aghted. ms II was
bound, in the long run. TO strengthen
the whole Bolshevist movement.
That could only do us harm: and
regarded IL as the duty OF our gov.
eminent TO guard against such an
eventuality. not only on military
grounds. but also. and indeed more
urgently. from the purely political
point Of view. Or. Helfferich re.
garded this as quite possible. The
position Of the government was Ger.
tainly difficult, but they had only
themselves TO thank for It. They
assured me that their policy reflect.
ed public opinion in Germany.
Here. again. I was compelled 10 be.
lieve that consideration for tenden.
cies Of internal politics was impeding
the effective prosecution Of the war.
As for our military position. we
could easily have made a rapid at.
tack on Petrograd with the troops
we had in the East With the help
Of the Don Cossacks, we could also
have attacked In the direction OF
Moscow. This would have been far
better than merely defending a long
line. which absorbed more troops
than would have been required for
a short advance. besides unnerving
the troops. whose morale would have
been maintained by active operation.
We could have deposed the soviet
government. which was thoroly hos.
tile TO Us, and given help TO other
authorities in Russia, which were
not working against us. but indeed
anxious to cooperate with us. This
would have been "A success OF great

Vermont Improving
In tuberculosis

BURLINGTON, Nov. GA meet
ing of the county chairman of the
tuberculosis organization which is to
conduct the drive for $4,000 in Ver-
mont held meeting in this city yes
terday and listened to some amazing
facts regarding tuberculosis in this
state. An official of the statistical
department of the Prudential Life In
surance company said that Vermont
led the United States in its work
against tuberculosis, for the death
rate had been reduced in the past 20
years much faster than in any other
state.
In 1917 the death rate in tuberculo-
sis had been reduced from 1867 out
of 100000 in 1897 to 1873. The death
rate among the granite cutters in
Barre and other places was shown to
be still very high and less than one
per cent of men engaged in this oc-
cupatioa ever reach the allotted age of
70.
1t is the intention of the tubercu-
losis association to do much work in
the granite industry for large
amount of the disease is known to be
preventable.
