VERMONT OPPORTUNITIES

II Vermont is to keep her young
people within her own borders she
must of necessity become a state OF
greater opportunities. - Burlington
News.
We do not consider this an entirely
correct statement. We should say
better understanding of Vermonts OPP
portunities is necessary. Vermont's
opportunities necessarily are small
compared with those Of the large
states and cities of this country but
they are not small considered by them
selves. Vermonters at home have
done many big things. Our state
boasts of the largest scale factory IN
the world, the largest calf skin bust
ness in the world, the largest output
of marble and granite Of the world
and the largest organ mandatory OF
the world. That is pretty good
showing of world leadership for a
little state of less than 355,000 inhab-
itants. While the heads of these insti-
tutions have not accumulated as many
millions as many other captains OF IN
dustrv, in each case they have accun-
ulated fortunes large enough for any
man-fortunes that yielded all the
blessings that wealth offers.
While no resident of Vermont has
ever been president and probably new
err will be, good percentage OF YER
monters have attained national prom
inence in political and judicial circles;
and there is still opportunity for men
of ability to attain high rank IN the
national councils.
No other state in the union offers
such productive land at such reason
able prices as the state of Vermont
Vermont stands high in average pro
duction per acre of wheat, corn, po-
tatoes, tobacco, oats, barley and hay
II produces more than twice as mucf
wheat per acre as the great whea'
growing states, much more corn PEI
acre than Illinois or Iowa and iti
apples are acknowledged the bes'
favored grown anywhere in this eoun
try Its reputation for maple sugar
poultry and dairy products is so grea
that many other states misbrand Their
products as Vermont goods and real
large profits from this deception.
Other things might be cited bu
when il is understood that Vernon
has great opportunities in its INDUS
trial, political and agricultural life J
should be sufficient TO attract tn
young and ambitious. What we nee

GERMAN SAILORS
FLEE OHIO PRISON
Eighteen Recaptured After
Search-Two Are Still
At Large.

CHILLICoTHE, Ohio, Aug. 25.-
Eighteen of the estimated twenty in
termed German sailors who escaped
frcm the barracks at Camp Sherman,
near here, during a severe electrical
storm last night, were recaptured,
camp authorities said today.
The sailors crawled through a tun-
mel running from the barracks cellar
to a company street thirty feet away.
It was believed the men completed
the tunnel some time ago.
Discovery of the wholesale escape
followed almost Immediately and sol
diers and police from surroundiHg
towns engaged in the hunt, which
Welded the eighteen in groups OF
three to five. All were found in near
by towns.
The sailors were members OF the
crew of the German raider KronpFinz
and have been interned here since
1915. One Of the prisoners was
quoted by police as boasting that he
had completed plans for another es-
cape.
This man said the tunnel was dug
by thirty men in one-man shifts in
six nights.
Six Of the sailors were captured
within the camp limits, five were
found in Columbus about forty miles
away, two were found in Chillieothe
and five were taken from an electric
car at Circleville, twenty miles from
camp.

the closing stages of the war when
the Germans were surrendering in
large numbers, British intelli-

group OF prisoners with cries of
Hot meal! hot meal"
The officers showed surprise, but
the Germans continued to shout,
Hot meal" and rub their stom-

Nothing doing in hot meals" the
officer replied.
Thereupon the Germans pulled
out leaflets carefully hidden away
in their clothes. and cried, Ticket
for hot meal-ticket!"
The leaflets, apparently distrib

that if he came in and surrendered
he would get hot meal.
In brief, military language the
British officer told the Germans
that he knew nothing of the origin
of the leaflets and that there must
be a mistake, but the Germans came
back with:
"Englishmen always keep their
word. Hot meal! Coupon for hot

According to the story, nothing
remained for that British division
but to set to work at once and pre-
