Watch Ont For Your Fellows

With the announcement of the APP
preaching deer hunting season in our
news columns this week. one is reminded
OF the dangers to be encountered IN
the woods, not from the denizens Of
the wild, but from the long-range and
high-powered guns in the hands Of
hunters, forgetful perhaps, of the car
rying power of their deadly arms. and
likewise as thoughtless of their fellow
hunters.
All ready three hunting accidents are
reported as happening in Vermont this
fall, though none of them fatal. Shoot
ing accidents in the woods, of course,
are not entirely preventable. But it

Middlebury's Fine Performance

Middlebury's game al Williamstown
Saturday, was in some ways quite re-
markable in outcome
To begin with it was surprising to
hosts of Blue followers that they were
able to beat Williams at ALL much less
hold the Purple from touchdown.
Then too, it is well to remember that
Williams has not been forced TO sVll-
low the bitter pill of defeat on taejr
own Weston field since October p,
1916, when the Brown bear bounced
down on them ard clawed home VIC
tory
Then, too, Middlebury's traditional
fighting record was splendidly upheld
when, with Williams leading 3 % 0,
and with but nine minutes of play left
in which to turn defeat mo victory,
the Blue warriors tore through with a
smashing line offensive and a dazzling,
brilliant aerial attack that simply
swept astonished Williamstown off lis
feet
Middleburys performance at WI
Jams was creditabG and very On
couraging both to the student body and
to the staunch supporters who pin
their faith on Coach Morey and MS
Blue warriors to grasp the state cham
pionship

Foote Making No Promises

Our good neighbor, the Bristol Her
aid, takes the Springfield Reporter ia
task for intimating that Lieut.. Gov
Foote has entered into any agreement
with Orlando Martin, for defensive
purposes
The Herald says;
"If the Reporters suggestion give.
Commissioner of Agriculture Ebert s
Brigham reason to believe that, IN the
event of the nomination and election
of Mr.. Foote as governor, the end Of
his tenure in office is u sight lhe
Franklin county man is possessed OF
far less political astu eIess thar the
Herald credits him with possessing.
III the Reporter desires to Brighten
Commissioner Brigham into becoming
a candidate for governor with an i'm
piled threat that he will be depoSed as
commissioner of agriculture in the
event of the election of Mr. FoOte as
governor, we are going to believe chat
the Springfield newspaper fails in its
effort If the Reporter editor has talk
ed with farmers she tour estimable
maiden friend must have learned that
Commissioner Brigham need not worry
as to how he would stand with such a
man as Lieut. Gov Foote, himself a
farmer"
The Herald is about right as far as
promises go. Lieut.. Gov Foote is to
be an active candidate for the next
governorship nomination So far as
agreements, or promises defensive or
otherwise 90, the Reporter must realize
that it is a little carly for anything
OF that kind

GERMANY UNCHANGED.

Before accepting the assertions of
German spokesmen at their face value
when directed toward the reinsurance
of France, consider that this is what
Germany is bound TO say in any event
and Is practically what she used TO
say prior TO 1914. You certainly can
not expect q German to come out
frankly in response TO the tremors of
Premier BRAND and say, why, of
course! Naturally We shall attack
France again just as soon as we feel
strong enough How elsel We have
been defeated in our latest attempt
and surely you cannot expect us to
abstain from seeking revenge!" That
is what Germany might say If she
were perfectly candid-but 1t wouldn't I
be good policy.
One must judge of Germany's atti-
tude of mind by the internal evidence.
IL would be pleasant to believe that
the late war had disgusted the people
of that country with the whole creed
of might, but unfortunately this ready
belief is possible only 10 the more de-
luded brand of professional pacifists,
IL is hard to overlook the fact that
from the Germans described by Taci-
tus to those described by the histor-
ians of the present day, there has
been no apparent change in the ma
tional character Lowell Courier

BOUND TO COME.

II was bound TO come-this period
of depression and concern in connec-
tion with the Washington Conference.
What happier choice could have been
made than that OF Thanksgiving Day
TO send out from Washington columns
OF pessimism over the outlook? 1t was
really. of course. the adjournment of
the conference for the holiday that
offered the inviting opportunity. When
nothing was being done, room was
made for horrible imaginings about
what might be done. There was the
possibility of sharp divisions and
ultimate deadlock and Illustration.
Secret and sinister influences could
be hinted at. Then there was mys
terious and trouble-making propa-
ganda visibly at work. First ii was
England and France that were to be
S.. by the ears. Note the glorious con
firmation of this by Lord Curzon's
speech. Next ii was Japan and the
United States that were to break and
quit the peace conference to prepare
for the inevitable war. There was no
end, in fact. to the disquieting rumors
and unsettlng influences which tbs
correspondents could catch up. They
had regular field day of it in the
Friday morning newspapers.
Such a reaction as has now set in !:
always to be looked for after the en-
thusiasm, amid which a great inter
national gathering begins its work
