CURRENT COMMENT
The Hamburg Line Agreement.

Although rumors of it have been in
the air, the partnership between Amer
lean and German shipping interests
will cause a good deal of surprise. II
is no doubt but one of many necessary
agreements by which German enter
prise will gradually be restored to the
international world of business. In
the present case each of the partners
is able to contribute something that
the other lacks. America has plenty
of ships and plenty of business for
them, but lacks organization, foreign
connections, and experience; Germany
has lost its ships but has had plenty
of experience--some of it so painful
that we may hope the lesson has been
learned.
The parties to the arrangement are
the American ship and commerce cor
poration and the Hamburg American
line Each is allowed to supply half
the freight tonnage between the Unit
ed States and Germany, and the Amer
lean line will make up any deficiency in
the German contribution. To the pas
senger service the American line will
contribute 10000 tons and the Ham
burg line will add what it can. Al
the German end the line will have a
German look, at our end an American
look; in the ports of other countries
it will appear impartislly German and
American. Whether it will operate
ships from the United States to conn-
tries other than Germany is not stated
but it is known that it will do bust
ness between Germany and countries
other than the United States, inciud-
ing South America
1t is an important business deal and
perhaps far from insignificant his.
torical event. Not the smallest OF
the clouds on the international sky is
that caused by the entry of the Unit
ed States as competitor into the field
of maritime commerce. II the bad
manners which America has sometimes
shown in tariff controversies should
be continued into the sensitive field
of maritime commerce the alliance with
the Hamburg American line would not
be the happiest of omens. We may
hope for better things.-Sprlngheld

Enforce All Sunday Regulations,

Editor Barre Times The Sunday
baseball situation has settled down to
this-enforce the law or leave the ball
players alone; the law was not IN
tended for malicious persecution OF
ball players, your boys and mine, and
that all other violators should go free.
If anybody has any desire to clean up
any filth and corruption now thought
to exist in a variety of secluded areas
hereabouts there are plenty who are
willing to take off their shirts and
help; but some of us object to starting
on baseball that's at the wrong end
of the string: let's start at the top
and work down. We are glad this
subject came up: it fills an aching
void in our summer conversation. The
score is one to one--hatter up. G.

Those seventeen persons who have
recently been granted certificates to
practice medicine in Vermont ore not
sufficiently numerous TO overstock the
state with medical practitioners. In
deed, there are scarcely enough to
make up for the loss sustained by
death, removal and retirement from
active practice of the physicians, ex-
cept in some of the larger communi-
ties where there are enough Tor nor

should spread themselves out over the

 The following lines were read at the funeral of the late Randolph Abner Dimock, last week Tuesday.
 Life's Sunset. The sunny days of summer are gone. The autumn leaves have fallen to the
 ground. The chilly winds of winter are passing
 by Each day with a certain sound. Spring time comes once each year. Childhood, youth and manhood to all, Who by reason of strength overcome all evils, When like the faded leaves do fall. The form that now lies before us Was once like the summer flower. The harvest has come, the reaper's
 sickle Hangs on the ripe bound sheaf the
 present hour. A life that comes by diligent toll, Who has fought the battle of life and
 strife, Has finished it's work and laid it's
 armor down. And passed on awaiting new life. Life is a battle field from the cradle
 to the grave. Not on the gory field where thousands
 are slain. But each day having new trials to
 overcome, Some of which are sickness, sorrow
 and pain. Wheu the ayelin. of life comes at the
 close ,f day. And we reach life's journeys end, We fold our tents and lay them away Until time and eternity meet and
 blend.
