NATURE HEALS
SCARS OF WAR

SCISSORS, France, Aug. 22.-
(By Associated Press - Nature is
making rapid progress in healing the
scars of war in France that, outside
of towns where ruins are still stand
ing. it will soon be impossible to dis
cover the famous front line of four
years of war without close examina-
ton.
IT. has become evident that the
abandoned project Of maintaining in
tact. as it existed at the close of hos
tilities, the line from Newport, in
Belgium, to Belfort, as a lesson to
future generations, could not have
been carried out except at an
enormous expense.
Forests that were supposed to have
been annihilated have shown remark
able recovery. Positions that were up
heaved repeatedly until the subsoil
covered the surface almost complete
ly, giving every appearance Of hope
less aridity, have been slowly cover
ed by vegetation.
Even the FAMOUS nelgRL along
which runs the German DIES Danes
(the Ladies' Way, is covered with
thick heritage, that remains green in
spite Of the drouth. In order to pre-
serve certain famous war scenes such
as the Bayonet Trench at Verdun, it
was necessary to erect a shelter and
protect the trench from the slow but
sure work of nature in order to pre-
serve it as it was during the great
battle. In

. GREENE AND THE MATER
NIFTY BILL.

Representative Frank L. Greene did
not wage a winning fight against
the federal maternity bill but he bad
the backbone to stand up to his con.
victions and speak and vote against
the measure. which was passed by the
House recently by an overwhelming
majority Representative Greene's idea
is that the bill was not only an in
vasion of the home but that it was
also putting into the hands of the
federal government a little more of
the control Of the everyday affairs of
life, thus weakening the morale Of the
individual and, perhaps, robbing the
state governments OF some OF the pre-.
negatives which they ought to retain
if possible. The enactment Of the bill
would be, in Representative Greene's
opinion, just another step toward that
centralized government, the bureau
cracy Of which must be guarded
against with much watchfulness.
In taking that stand, Representative
Greene found himself somewhat alone
in his outspOkenness out that cOmpAr,
alive isolation did not deter him from

THE MOToRIST WHO SPEEDS
AWAY.

A case which demands attention OF
prosecuting officers and of the auto
mobile department OF the state oc-
cured in Rutland last Thursday eve
ming when an automobile struck a
pedestrian, dragged him sixty feet and
then ran over the victim, inficting
injuries, whiei may result in death.
The situation would not be SO bad
were it not for the fact that the driver
of the automobile, giving way to cow
srdly instincts, Immediately turned off
his lights to escape Identification and
speeded away into the darkness. When
the driver of motor vehicle stops,
after striking a pedestrian, and does
all he can to reliae the suffering of
the victim there is softening of the
criticism directed at the driver of the
vehicle, no matter whether he may
have been entirely to blame for the
accident; but when a driver strikes a
pedestrian and runs away without
making move to ascertain what in
iuries have been inflicted on the vic
tim of the collision all sentiment of
charity toward misdeed is carried
away. And justly so. For an act OF
;rb,,rnanffv ia addad m an act Of Grim
inal responsibility. The driver who
does so is not fitted to he the posses
sor Of license to operate motor
vehicle, and it is to be hoped that the
state automobile department win CO.
operate with the prosecuting officers
OF Rutland with view to fixing the
identity of the party, to be followed
by the imposing c' the fitting punish
ment.

Ii was a misfortune on Centennial
field in Burlington last Tuesday,
misfortune that the st. Adams Lyndon
football game ended in tie because
that means more paper championship
claims until another football season
rolls around. The season no doubt is
too late for the two aspirants for the
championship to get together in an
other contest. Since an unsettled cham
pionship seems inevitable it is left to
be said that both teams did credit to
themselves in memorable encounter.

Thanksgiving turkey took its place

German marks, having dropped in New
York Wednesday from 60 and 10 cents
a pound to 40 and 45 cents, with a
hint of further reduction to 25 cents.
The buyers strike had as much as
anything to do with the sharp fall in
price. The buyers have a mighty weap-

to choose between turkey and chuck
roast.
