THE WARS DRAIN ON FRANCE.

Some idea of the drain which the war
made on France may be gained by
contemplation of the figures presented
by Captain Andre Tardieu, the former
French high commissioner in the Unit
ed States. Capt. Tardieu asserts that
out of the eight millions of Frenchmen
modified during the entire period of
the war, total of 100000 were killed,
500, 1000 were MANNED and 100000 were
wounded. Carried out still further, the
tabulation of losses shows that France
lost 81 per cent of her men under 30
years of age. When the war broke out
France had a total population of less
than one half the population of the
United States, or approximately AS
100000 people, counting men, women
and children. The adult population
was a minor fraction of that total, and
the male population approximately one
half of the adult enumeration. Which
calculation brings the total male popu-
lation down to figure not much great
err than the modified forces, leaving
small percentage of the males TO
carry on the ordinary activities togeth-
or with the aid of the women and chill
dren. For France to lose 100000 out
OF that male population by death was
most serious blow to the chances Of
the country to recover from the rava-
pes of war for it removed a consider
able percentage of the economic
strength Of the nation, especially that
part in the prime of young manhood. In
addition, the partial loss of the econom-
ic strength of 100000 crippled men
must be taken into consideration, and
the temporary incapacity of the 300,'
600 Others who were wounded and, who,
after treatment. were able to take
their places again in the industrial and
commercial life OF the country. France
thus was set back tremendously in the
struggle for national greatness. We
can appreciate something of the situ-
alton when we strive to imagine the
cutting off of 81 per cent Of all Ameri-
can males under the age of 30 years.
However, France is going about the
task Of reconstruction in courageous
manner and is making good progress
toward regaining her former position.
Bearing in mind those wounds OF war,
il is not TO be wondered at that France
is desirous of defending herself so that
Germany will not have another chance
to cripple the nation in like manner
as France was crippled from 1914 to
1919.

On the basis of the repotrs submit
ted to the state department of agricul-
ture, the 1920 maple sguar yield in
Vermont was we'll above the average
for the last decade and the income to
Vermont was by no means inconsider-
able. With most farmers, sugar max
ing is a side issue and is not reckoned
as one of the major activities of the
farm; yet we find that in the aggre-
gate Vermont farmers received APP
proximately four millions of dollars
for the product of a short period of OPP
Grafton This sizeable sum is due to the
facts that the number of trees tapped
was larger that for the last few years,
that the yield per tree was very good
and that the prices received for the
product went up along with the in
creasiug cost of nearly every other prod
let of the world. 1t made a very sub
stantial addition to the income of Yer
mont farmers; in fact, the maple sugar
industry is of sufficient consequence to
be reckoned as one of the great indus
tries of the state. 1t might be made a
great deal larger if the full resources of
tie state were utilized; that is, if all
the sap producing naples were to be
tapped.

President Wilson's control of the
Democrats of the country has been
growing less and less as his two terms
in the White House extended. The
latest manifestation of the wrenching
away from control was furnished by
the Democrats of Delaware who re-
fused absolutely to listen to Wilson's
appeal that they ratify the woman's
suffrage amendment TO the federal con-
stitution, the legislature having now
adjourned without the action desired
by the president. Time was when
Wilson's word was almost law to the
Democrats, especially the Democrats
in Congress; but there has been a ST.
lent declaration of independence by
the Democrats in many parts of the
country. The action of the Delaware
Democrats was minor slap, to be
sure, but il was none the less impress
sive. Thereby the Democratic party
failed to realize on its political posi-
bilities by making ratification effec-
tive and enlisting some active sym
PATTY from the mass of women who
are anxious to secure the right OF suf-
frage. As the situation now stands, the
inclination of the woman suffragists
turn, in very large measure to the Re
publican party although there have
been instances of expression of ap-
proval from Democrats, notably from
the Democratic state convention in
Vermont recently.

CURRENT COMMENT
Not a Happy Family.

When the head of one department OF
an administration accuses the assistant
secretary of another department OF
stubborn incapacity," of perverted
sympathy for the criminal anarchists
OF the country" and of outrageous and
uncomfortable falsehoods," IT does not
seem an extreme statement to say that
strained relations exist.
1t Is Attorney General Palmer, who
appearing before House committee
makes these and a number OF ike
charges against Assistant Secretary OF
Labor Louis +. Post. The substance OF
Mr.. Palmer's complaint is that by
wholesale Jail deliveries, and the re-
lease of even self.confessed anarchists
of the worst type, Mr.. Post has utterly
nullified the law, has defied the rules
of evidence, and, by his self-wiiled
and autocratic substitution of his mis-
taken personal viewpoint for the coll
CATION of public law has deprived the
people of this country of the enforce.
ment of legislation which is OF vital
importance to their peace and safety
These are serious accusations, and
it is not our purpose, at present, to
consider whether they are fully JUST
fed. But Of this we are certain: That
the differing policies of the department
OF labor, and the increasingly hostile
relations between the two, which have
resulted in the release OF alleged crimi.
| nal anarchists, on trifiing bail or nc
bail, by one department, as soon as
the arrests are made by the other, has
become public scandal. President
Wilson should restore some approach
to concord in his official family. The
administration cannot afford to be at
loggerheads with itself. The depart,
ment of justice and the department OF
labor cannot both be right. The respon.
sibility rests upon the president TO es'
tablish unity of policy.
The latest outburst against Judge
Anderson further exhibits the strain
in relations among those who political
ly should be bed fellows. - Boston

LETTERS ToTHE EDITOR
The Loss From tuberculosis.

Editor, Times: Dear sir: 1t has been
said that community can have just
as much health as it will pay for. The
other side of this statement is that II
a community will not pay for health IT
must pay great deal more Tor dis-
ease. For example, at conservative
estimate there are two thousand active
cases of tuberculosis in Vermont to-
day. How much do these patients
COST
If we place the average earning ca
pacity OF each patient at 100000
wear, there is los in income OF Sl,-
400 900 annually in Vermont on ac-
count of tuberculosis. tuberculosis pa
tients live for a number of years and
must be fed, clothed and so forth. II
we place this cost at $500 annually
per patient it makes 100000 for the
state. Then we must add the time lost
by Others to attend to the patients
when otherwise they could be earning.
which is easily one half of the time OF
one person or $3.50 year or SfOOO00
for the two thousand patients in Yer
mont. This makes total of So, 100 900
per year lost in Vermont on account OF
tuberculosis.
Who loses it9 Indirectly, the whole
state; directly, it falls upon the fami-
lies where the disease exists. No Won
der children in these families are I'M
-nourished and pre-disposed to the
disease. This is one phase of the
economic loss from tuberculosis.
In the face of these figures which are
most conservative, the healthy people
of the state should be glad to conrib-
ute $4,000 against this disease which
places such an enormous burden upon
those who suffer from it.
Very sincerely yours,
