eff the coat fits you, put it on"

Sometimes when he has occasion to re-
fleet upon the shortcomings of Brattle-
borO's municipal government The Med
dler wonders whether other towns ami
cities are in the same boat Most of
them are. The difficulties which beset
this town are by no means uncommon.
There is hardly municipality anywhere
that is not at present faced with the
task of co-ordinating a rapidly increas-
ing expense account with a reluctance
to increase taxes. See what happened
in st. Adams Tuesday, for example. The
folks of that city voted in favor of n
bond issue for the construction of new
streets but refused TO vote the tax needed
for current expenses in spite of the fact
that something like $4,000 was Dor
rowed last year in anticipation of taxes.
And down in Greenfield, where the tax
rate is based on the total estimates APP
proved by the finance committee instead
of being voted outright as it is in Yer
mont, it has been discovered that rate
of approximately $50 thousand ian
increase of $3.50 over last year, will be
necessary unless the estimates are Sc
verely pruned. Greenfelds 1921 rate Of
$31.70 was the highest in its history and
the town has not yet showed many signs
of recovery from the industrial depres-
sion that has been gripping it for sew
eral months.

remain so until a settlement of the 1920

ably one reason why nobody had cour-
age to bring up the proposition of a

it is possible to determine whether liza

MOVEMENTS OF FLEET

Again, it was the fear of subma- ments of the Grand Fleet and con- pelled us to drain all other war areas of destroyers in order to protect our battleships, with the result of se- riously weakening our position in these areas. And yet again, it was the German submarines that forced the withdrawal of our heavily armed ships from advantageous lombard ing positions outside the Dardanelles, after the Majestic and the Triumph had been sunk
 ''The claim that fifteen million troops were safely conveyed across the Channel proves very little against submarines, for these narrow waters are especially favorable for defens- i've precautions, and our precautions were conducted on a specially extens- i've scale. It was far otherwise in the Mediterranean, where one troop ship after another was sunk, and where, had it not been for the ar rival of the Japanese destroyer flo- tilla to assist the Allies a situation would have been reached early in 1917 in which the safety of all rein- forcements and supplies for the east ern theaters of war would have been seriously jeopardized."

SUBMARINES HERE TO STAY
 ADMIRAL SAYS

LONDON, Feb. 1. - Submarines have come to stay, whether we like it or not" is the emphatic declara- tion of Vic-Admiral G. A. Ballard, former ricertor of operations in the British Admiralty.
 In more dramatically phrased, if less vigorous, style, he is taking up the cudgels after the fashion of the late Admiral Fisher who conducted famous letter-writing campaign on the thesis that submarines and aero planes had negatived the capital ship. His war cry was Scrap the lott"
 Ballard does not go so far as his one-time chief, but he is hammering relentlessly into the British public his belief that the Empire must have submarines.
 We must avoid the attitude that these vessels are subject for con- tempt he declared, referring to the case against them presented by Mr. Balfour at Washington "They are formidable engines of war, requiring to be treated as such.
 USEFUL MINE LAYERS Although in the war not a single British or French battleship was sunk by German guns more than dozen met their fate either ill direct encounter with submarines or by mines that. submarines alone could have placed where they were
 "That in itself furnishes conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of the submarines. even when used in a perfectly legitimate way, as we used them ourselves. Moreover, this evi- dence does not stand alone, for the moral effect of submarines is very great apart altogether from their threat to merchant ships,
 Had they never existed it is al most certain that we should have forced our way into the Baltic and by attacking or menacing the Ger man rear, altered the entire course of the war

The County Corn Show this year
