National prohibition was FASTENED
by the war and the fact that the Eu-
ropean nations in the past few years
have placed great restrictions on the
liquor traffic helped the movement in
the United States. The fact, that no

That the Vermont legislature did

Peace is not Signed

If the military power of the Allies
were reduced too rapidly and too
sweepinglys what security would
there be for the acceptance by the
enemy of the Peace terms which the
Allies are preparing to dictate? That
it should be necessary to ask such a
question is entirely granted to Ger
many such a dangerous indulgence as
the liberty to keep her armies embod-
led. The German Press is already
proclaiming the fact that those armies
are unbeaten. Any lack of precaution
on our part might well invite the at
tempt to prove that claim to be true.
Until the Peace is settled and fulfilled
the Allies cannot afford to take any
risks Of losing by negligence what
they have at long last won, by hard
fighting. That this last burden
should be laid on our fighting men,
who have already made such sacrifice,
is hard indeed. But it adds one more
item to the nations already heavy
load of obligation, and in doing it
so should quicken still further the
remembrance of that obligation

Who sealed her theirs and ours! =
with earth's last breath,
Who on the threshold of freer life

To us this side of Death.
Amid this unseen host, crowned with

Clad in their Joy, out of the anguish

Bearing the Banner of Purer Nor

She moves into our sight.
How shall we greet her? Not with
folly and laughter
And drunken feast; but with uncov-

Stand while They pass! Fall in! And

Where They and Victory lead.
Not theirs, not ours, vain boast or

But to the God Who maketh wars to
cease,
Give we the Praise, the Honor, and
the Glory,
And our. new world of Peace.

PRESS COMMENT
We Must Feed the Starving


Americas role in helping to feed
Europe is so vital that the Senate,
having placed such safeguards as may
seem desirable about the measure,
cannot fail to pass the $10O,00o,O0O
appropriation relief bill. The whole
burden of food relief is not to rest
upon THE country. But America
can do more than any other country
in this crisis to prevent Europe from
falling into an economic and social
ruin worse than anything experienced
since the Middle Ages. We should
now be as keen to aid in this work
of restoration as we were to destroy
militaristic Germany.-Springfield

EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING

During this history making period of war, bus
mess is apt to be less dislocated in spots and
it behOOyes every live merchant and dealer to get his
house in order.
"Deadwood" has no place in business in these
stirring times The mark of the live merchant or
the live dealer is indelbly expressed in his adver-
vertising. Thrift and economy is the order of the
day, but thrift and economy that curtas efficiency
will not help business To cut advertising space is
to curtail efficiency, which MEANS or later,
the falling into the "deadwOOd" class of the mer-
chant or dealer who follows such false economy.
The effectiveness of liberal advertising is not
doubted; The effectiveness of liberal advertising in
The Caedonian is proven by direct and indirect re-
suits coming each day to the live merchants and
dealers who are using liberal space.
