WHY
Liberia Deserves Commen-
dation for War Work

Among the enemies of Germany, let
us not forget Liberia. This tiny Afrl-
can republic entered the war in all
seriousness, has contributed TO the
victory and bears some honoraDle
scars. 1t established compulsory mill
tarv service and sent hundreds of Ia
borers into France for war work. IL
expects a seat somewhere near the
foot of the great peace table.
Some two hr!T, lied Gcrr,An "i+'-nrT
controlled 40 per cent OF Liberia
commercial activities before the war.
These two hundred are now interned
in France, and the government look
over their enterprises and sold them
at auction. 1t will be remembered
that the republics entire navy was
SIM. hv tho Germans last Anri!. IT
consisted OF one small vessel, and the
submarine that punctured its hull also
sheIled MOnrOvia, the Liberian capital,
and killed ten people.
Liberals military authorities estab-
liShed basis for determining liability
to army duty which is the acme of
simplicity. Natives without clothes
are not eligible for service, but as
soon as a man puts on shirt and trou'
sers he automatically becomes liable
for enrolment and service. This is
on the authority of Bishop Alexander
p. Camphor, head of the Methodist
church in the republic. Though Lii
beria's part in the war has been small,
it has been none the less creditable.

Pre-Townmeeting Talk in Vermont.

Pre-1OwnmeetIng Talk IN vermont
(By Daniel l. Cady in the Burling-
ton Free Press.)
About a week before townmeeting
You have a call from Deacon Plumb,
Who hands you out a gracious greet
ing,
Though usually he's pretty glum;
Says he, I've called to get your feel
ing
About that culvert down by Blair's
And ask if you consider Healing
The man to run our road affairs"
"You know he stands right in with
Tenney,
He's up for hster-him and Drew
They'll tax us till we hain't a penny,
And this is real estate year, too;
We folks that live out here in Scrab-
BILE
Have got to kind of stick and hold,
Or else, BY GOSH that village rabble
Will build the roads of solid gold"
cts fourteen year sense / was lister,
| amt a-lOoking for it now
But Tenney's just a railroad twister,
And Drew, he isn't with his cow;
If We'll wake up / have an inkling
That now's the time to land our man;
Well get a pretty decent sprinkling
Of village votes from Jim McAnn."
There amt no very healthy reason,
Because he buys the railroad wood,
Why such a weathcock as Gleason
Should oversee the poor for good;
He's got a long St. Adams letter
He's showing round with lots of airs,
That calls him straight, but we know
better,
He's crooked as the chamber stairs
Jake Sykes has writ a short petition
For me to make the lister run,
And here's my names-good ammu-
milton
But shot and powder needs a gun;
You pop my name before the meeting,
II that's your pleasure, Neighbor
Mum.
Wen give that village gang beat
ing,
Or else, snum, it can't be done"
Il amt a-asking any favors,
I never did and never do,
But we amt little bits of shavers

We folks that live out here in Scrab-
BILE
tave got to kinder hold and stick.
Or else that VILLAGE railroad rabbIe
