THE MAILED BOMB PLOT.

Although the early reports of the ma
ture of the Internal machines mailed in
New York TO persons in various parts
of the country would seem to indicate
that the instruments were of construc-
tion similar to weapons manufactured
by Germans during the period of war
fare, there is scarcely reason to believe
that the sending Of the bombs was part
of German plot or that Germans had
much, if anything, to do with the regret
table affair. The chief ground for be.
lieying that it was not a German plot is
the fact that the bombs were addressed
to persons who, while prominent in va
rious walks of life, have not been par
ticularly concerned in prosecuting the
war against Germany-and it would be
assumed that had it been intended as a
German plot the objects Of attack would
have been persons more closely in touch
with the government of the United
States. But the persons to whom the
internal machines were mailed at New
York were those who may have at some
time or other incurred the anger of those
who oppose the system Of government in
the United States, or any form of or
ganized society indeed. They were
judges, members Of Congress, officials of
less than national Importance, extensive
employers Of labor and possessors of
great wealth. They are parts of organ
lied society which have received the ven.
ON of certain elements in American
life; and those elements may be likened
to the crowd of malcontents that have
been sweeping Russia to ruin for the
past year So it may reasonably be in
ferred that the perpetrators of the das-
tardly attempts to spread terror through
out the country were no other than the
first cousins to the Russian bolsheyiki,
the American branch of the world revo-
lutionists. They may have handled Ger.
man weapons, or weapons that were
similar to those made in Germany" but
they probably were not related to the ex-
ponents of kultur save in the relation
ship of kindred methods. The depart
ment of justice and all other depart
ments of government and branches of
minor administration throughout every
part of the United States have a most
necessary work to perform in ferretfng
out the perpetrators.

When it comes to awarding credit for
hard and successful work in the Victory
loan campaign, the acts of Eugene s
Wright, chairman of the committee in
the town OF Colchester, ought not to be
overlooked, inasmuch as Mr.. Wright
laughed at the handicaps of poor road
conditions, which forbade the use of an
automobile, and walked over his country
district, securing the towns quota Of
$1,000 in the early part of the time
allotted by the government. 1t was an
accomplishment which is worth com
mending.

With the United States still loaning
money to the Italian government and
with the total obligations of Italy to
the United States mounting to more than
billion and one-half dollars, it looks
as if business relations will be main
tanned for some time to come regardless
of what the other relations may be. That
is one strong tie which joins the two
countries together. And there are other
ties which are likely to maintain the re.
lations between these longtime friends
in the international relations, the present
furry seeming to point to the contrary

Thoughts Suggested by Peace Conference
Editor, Barre Daily Times have
been reading recently of the trials and
fluctuations of the peace eonfaenee dele
gates that are working hard to bring
order out Of the chaos that has been
wrought in this old world by the warning
factions, and while | am not poet or Of
a literary inclination. | have tried to
put my thought in the following lines in
regard to the birth Of new order that
shall regulate the affairs Of peoples when
all inharmonious elements shall finally
be reconeiled. Fred L. Page.
Birth OF New World,
In the twilight of the morning,
As / sat beside the sea,
Family to me came a murmur,
Like an angel calling me.
In the dim and distant strangeland
had had loved one fall,
So my heart was yearning, yearning
For the loved one that was all.
But the murmur grew to moaning,
And bowed my head in prayer
As | sat, and thought and waited
For the loved one Over There"
But my soul would not keep silent,
So uttered loud cry,
And the answer came back clearly,
Thousands more must be as |.
Then I raised my hands to heaven,
AS the light began to dawn,
And | cried, amid this anguish,
A new world is being born.
Then / saw with brighter vision,
Heard the sound with clearer mind,
For the meanings now were rumblings
Reaching, aye, to all mankind

1t goes without saying or ought to-
that Belgium will be given as much
