Mr.. Gerard's Announcement.

Former Ambassador Gerard makes
q conditional announcement for Presf-
dent. If Mr.. Wilson does not desire
next years democratic nomination, he
does. He will not oppose his former
chief-the man who sent. him to Ger
many. This, of course, commits Mr..
Gerard in the matter of third term.
If Mr. Wilson decides to stand for
the shird nomination, and secures it,
Mr.. Gerard will support him for elee-
tion.
In effect, this is the attitude of other
prominent democrats with eyes turned
White HOuseward. They will not op-
pose Mr.. Wilson if he offers for an
other nomination, or if the honor is
bestowed upon him without an offer
They will support him again, as they
did in 1912 and 1916.
Thus the third term issue will ap-
pear in next years campaign, whether
Mr.. Wilson is his party's candidate
or not. If he is the candidate, it win
be presented directly in his candi.

ton, and this French fight demon
strates that there are possibilities
heretofore not considered within range
of actual achievement. With the in
crease of speed, Of course, must come
an equal development of dependa-
bility, stability, endurance, and, above
all, carrying capacity. For the indi-
yidual airplane will not be Of pro-
nounced value save as a sporting de-
vice. The airplane Of the future
and that future cannot be far distant,
considering the advances already
scored-must be a carrier of such
size as to render actual service, must
be capable Of regular flights without
interruption and must be adaptable to
varying uses.
This French flight gives urgent ac-
cent to the demand that the United
States take in hand quickly the sys-
tematic development Of aviation,
through an organization of the gov
ernment forces that will insure the
greatest possible advance. To this end
the establishment of department of
flying, such as that proposed in a bill
now pending in Congress, is urgently
needed.

No wartime" Repeal.

An effort to repeal the wartime
prohibition act has been promptly
negatiyed by the House committee on
agriculture following the Supreme
Courts decision that the act is con-
stitutional. The vote in committee
against repeal-16 to Sis fair in
dieation of the prevailing sentiment
in Congress on the subject, and may
be viewed as an index of the unlikei-
hood of the adoption of joint reso-
luton for the repeal of the constitu-
tional amendment. As Congress is
now constituted, NO interference with
the prohibition program is at all like
ly. 1t is possible that a nationwide
campaign on this issue might cause a
different alignment, but to effect that
great change of sentiment must be
evoked.
Those favorable to repeal point to
the recent votes in the municipal cleo
tions in Massachusetts,, where towns
have recorded their preference for
"lieense" in the face Of the impossi-
bility of re-establishing the liquor
traffic short Of cancellation of the fed
eral amendment. The latest vote on
this subject was cast yesterday in Bos-
ton, where '4icense" was voted by a
majority of 1854. It is a singular
fact that the license majority last year
was practically identical with that
cast yesterday, being 1854. This Bos-
ton figure does not indicate an in
creased sentiment for license in that
city. In the towns Of the state there
has been an increase in the "wet'
vote. This has been explained by pro-
hibition leaders on the ground that
opponents of license have not taken
the trouble to cast their votes on the
question, inasmuch as in the face of
the federal prohibition amendment it
is merely academic.

dacy. If he is not the candidate, i,
will be presented in the fact that hai
he been he would have received tn.
support Of all those leaders of thu
party appraised as Of presidential size
And so the third term, through tn.
democratic leaders, has received q sort
of Endorsement.
The matter being left to Mr.. Viii
son, speculation plays around his prob
able course. Until his physical col
lapse, opinion was general not only
that he could secure another nomina
tion, but desired it. He had his party
well in hand. He had plainly en-
joyed power. His public appearances
at home and abroad had been Of q
character to give him great satisfac.
ton. Why not another terms A
new order had come or was coming in
and why not new notion respecting
the length of a mans stay in the
White House' Such was the tenor of
the talk.
But the collapse changed opinion
A belief then set up that Mr.. Wilson
would not care, or have the strength,
for another campaign; that he would
husband his physical resources so as
to complete his second term comforta-
bly,, and then retire to his library and
put into shape the story of his ex-
perience and performances as Presi-
dent.
Evidently, however, the matter is
still in some doubt. Mr.. Gerard's an
nouncement and the coyness of other
prominent democrats show it. Mr..
Wilson's physicians say he is steadily,
though slowly, getting back into form,
and in time will be entirely himself
again.
The public today is left to choose
between two bits of gossip. One is
that Mk Wilson in a letter to be read
at the coming Jackson day banquet in
this town will set the matter at rest,
and the other is that he will let it
simmer until next summer and COM
municate directly with the democratic
national convention.

Secretary Lane.

Secretary Lanes statement regard
ing report that he has resigned puts
the case with characteristic frankness.
He wishes to retire from the cabinet
and hopes to do so soon, but refrains
from prese-ting his resignation at
this time out of consideration for the
President, as he does not care to add
to his present worries and burdens.
Mr.. Lane has served the country
faithfully and ably for long period,
as a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and as Secretary of
the. Interior. He now feels that he
must, out of regard for his personal
welfare, retire to private life,
to- devote himself to his own
affairs Ne one can take exception to
this desire or critieise a move to ac-
eompfish it. Yet it is to be regretted
that SO capable, industrious and far
seeing member of the cabinet should
be compelled, for any reason, to with
draw at time when the services of
men of such high ability are so urgent
ly needed in the administration.
Secretary Lanes consideration of the
President at this delicate juneture is
characteristic of the man. The coun-
try will commend him for his reluc-
tanee to add in any degree to the
heavy. burden the President is now
carrying.

Palmer's Prescription for H. c. L.

Attorney General Palmer, in an ad'
dress before city officials and civic or
CARNATIONS in Chicago says that If
certain measures can be put effectively
into operation throughout the country
the high cost of living will fall within
q few months. His program covers
five points. The first is the organiza-
tion of fair price committees in every
community, backed by mayors and
prosecuting attorneys and cooperating
with the federal authorities. Second,
the organization of women to refuse
to buy everything but actual necessi-
ties until prices fall; third, the hold
ing of economy meetings in every
community: fourth, exercise by
mayors and prosecutors throughout
the country of influence to prevent
faction industrial disturbances in the
hope of securing an industrial armi-
stice of at least six months; fifth, to
remobilize the four minute men to de-
liver "work and save addresses in the
theaters nightly.
Universal adoption of these meas
ures and their prosecution would un-
doubtedly serve to bring down the
prices. The present evil is not solely
one of profteering. 1t is blend Of
extortion, industrial idleness, nom
production and extravaganza. We are
suffering from the high cost of lux
ury, the high cost of striking and the
high cost of warmaking. Profiteers
take advantage of the excess of demand
over supply to boost prices dispropor-
tionately. Many people are taking ad-
vantage of an unusual abundance of
funds to buy lavishly, to indulge in
extravaganza never before possible
The whole price scale is affected by
these luxury purchases, and the pinch
is felt most severely by those who can
not afford more than the actual ne
cessities of life.
Prosecution of profteering, economy
in buying, speeding up in production
are all necessary to restore the eco
nomie balance. The Attorney Gen
erals proposal is sound and aims at a
real correction of an evil that is to be
cured only by cooperative effort of
the citizens with the law. The sugges-
tion of flour minute" talks is good.
This organization did splendid work
during the war in keeping the people
informed and stimulating their con-
eern- for the public welfare. If in
every community short, pointed, earn
est admonitions are regularly given
by experienced speakers in the places
of public assemblage the work of curb
ing the high prices will be greatly IA
cilitated.

The Greatest Air Speed.

1t has been often stated that avia-
tion speeds heretofore scored have
been low in relation to the possibii-
ties of heavier -than-air machines, and
the prediction has been freely made
that the air speeds of the future would
be far in excess of the present aver
age rates. This is apparently justified
by the record just made in France by
Sadi Leeointe, who in an officially
timed fight made an average speed of
about 100 miles an hour, while at
times he flew at the astounding rate
of 226 miles, or approximately 3A
miles a minute. Even his average
speed is extraordinary, probably the
fastest recorded flight ever made by
man.
Considering the shortness of the
time that has elapsed since the air
plane was an experiment, of doubtful
utility and decided danger, the ad-
vance to the point of systematic, regu-
lar and even scheduled flying in the
mail service, for example, has been
remarkable. In the practical appi-
cation of the machine to actual service
there has been little effort to make
speed. Dependability has been the
chief aim, and the machines have been
developed steadily to that end. The
experiences Of the war have greatly
advanced the art. Flyers have been
trained and machines have been per-
fected in consequence Of the impera-
tive necessity Of putting the device
to the utmost use in the military serv-
ice.
Nov speed is the goal Of tAoss who
seek the further Advancement Of ayia-

A report from Chicago states that
the federal district attorney there may
ask for the cancellation of the bond
of Victor Berger, who is out on bail
pending appeal from his sentence of
twenty years for violation of the es-
pionage act, on the ground that he
has in his public speeches, as candi-
date for Congress, violated an agree
ment made by him and his four com
panions to refrain while at liberty
from reflections upon the court that
tried him. It is to be hoped that if
this move is made it will not be until
after the election on Friday, when
the Milwaukee voters will decide
whether to send Berger again to
Washington as their representative in
Congress in the face of his recent re-
lection by the House on the score of
his conviction. To arrest Berger at
this time would probably create false
sympathy for him and give him addi-
tional strength with the socialists who
are inclined to regard him as a vic
tim of government persecution. The
issue at Milwaukee should be kept
clear of extraneous matters. If Berger
has been guilty Of breach of agree
ment in his campaign speeches there
will be plenty of time to cancel his
bond after the election, whatever the
result of the balloting may be. The
Milwaukee voters should be allowed
to record themselves on the clear is
sue of whether their district is to be
represented in Congress.

UNDER FOUR FLAGS

Under Four Flags, the latest
United States Official War Picture
the third in the series is being pre-
sented by the Committee on Public
Information at both the Rivoli and
Rialto Theaters this week. The new
picture practically fills the entire
programme at both houses and it re-
quires two hours to show it.
Five of the seven episodes are de-
voted to the American forces, and
these most naturally have greater
interest than the other two, which
are Field Marshal Haig on the Bri-
fish Front and with the Italian forces
on the Piave.
Transports conveyed and met by
destroyers is followed by a subma-
rine being sighted from the crows
nest of war ship and by hydro
plane simultaneously. The airplane
drops a bomb which explodes over
the spot. The war ship sinks depth
bombs which explode and shoot the
water high into the air. These are
scenes that will be remembered, par
ticularly as the effect of the depth
bombs was to destroy the submarine,
as large circle of oil is seen after
ward floating on che rough surface
of the sea, indicating it had been des-
troyed. 81 # '5e .o ''

A Hun fighting airplane being shot
down and falling rapidly to earth in
side the French lines, later sur
rounded by the American soldiers,
showing one of the aviators Injured
and the other killed by the fall, and
the machine badly broken, is new in
pictures.
The battle of St. Mihiel shows the
first engagement of the Americans as
a complete division. This includes
scouting air planes and an observa-
ton balloon, all in wireless commu-
nication with messages being sent
and received. Baby tanks manned by
Americans take part, as do larger
tanks, making a path through for
est.
The aftermath of victory is pre-
sented in rows Of abandoned Ger
man guns, with a review of the hap
ply American and French troops by
General Pershing and allied officers.
"Under Four Flages." is more in
teresting than either of the other
two official pictures, because it is the
most graphic presentation of the
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1919-01-22

A fatal accident occurred Satur-
day, Jan. IL, when Adam Dunn lost
his life in a rear end collision, which
took place at Wenlock, as the work
train, which he and crew of work
men were on, was returning from
Gorham, N. H., was hit by another
train, Mr.. Dunn being instantly
killed, the only man in the crew to
receive injuries.
Mr.. Dunn was born in Newport,
in 1859, the son of James and Ellen
Dunn, being 60 yrs, 5mos., and 7
days old at the time of death.
He was a loving and watchful
father and will be greatly missed in
his home, especially by his son John
who is an invalid, and was his first.
and last thought during the 10 years
Of Johns sickness. He leaves to
mourn his loss, 6 daughters and
sons, the oldest being Mrs. Thos.
Briggs of Dalton, N. H., Edmund
Dunn of Cabot, Mrs. Alfred Hud-
son of Lyndonville, and Misses
Geneva, Elsie, Hazel, Helen Lula
and Herman at home and his wife,
who have the sympathy of all in
their great sorrow, so suddenly
thrust upon them.
