The annual convention of the Vermont
department of the (i. A. J?., now being
hi'lil at Montpelier, takes on a new nig
nih'cunce, coming as it does when the na
tion U at war with a great nation across
the ocean. Jt won't be necessary to prod
the veterans into patriotic demonstra
tion, for they are always patriotic.
Jeannetle Rankin, congressman or
woman, had the delicate good sense not to
land herself in her biography as printed
iu the latest edition of the Congressional 1
IHrectory. Thereby he avoided the pit
fall into which too many new members of
Congress tumble at the outset of their
careers in Washington. "Jeanette Ran
kin, Republican, of Mtettoula'' reads well
as a starter.
THE PROqRKSS OF THE SUBMARINE
CAMl'AIOX.
Not much is being said at the present
time about the progress of the (Icrmanj
Submarine campaign on commerce ships i
of all nations entering, and going from,
port of the entente allies. Those condi
tions are either being overshadowed by
the more striking events taking place be
tween the land forces on the western war
front, or they are being purposely mini-1
mized because of the encouragement
which would be given to Germany
through confession of food shortage by
the entente countries. Nevertheless it is
evident that the German U-boats are not
being cheeked in their deadly work to
any great extent. It is said that the
British admiralty, in taking the United
states naval authorities into its confi
dence following the action of the Wash
ington government in joining hands with
the entente, gave away many of the se
crete of the British navy, including the
statement concerning the number of Ger
man submarines captured or sunk. Of
eotirse, the world is not permitted to
know what those figures are; but it is
evident from the admitted losses of Brit
ish shipping that the submarines increase
faster than they are destroyed by the
entente. For instance, the British admir
alty admits that two score of merchant
ships were sunk during the week most re
cently reported upon, which is a number
somewhat in excess of the average since
the German campaign of unrestricted;
commerce warfare was undertaken. It
comes down, therefore, to a test of edur
ame, whether the entente nation, with
the aid of the United States, can furnish
enough ships to keep ahead of the de
vourers of the vessels, while at the same
time the submarine chasers are doing
their utmost to reduce the, peril. The i
German admiralty is redoubling its activ
ity in order to get in its work ahead of
the aid which the United States can offer
in the shape of a thousand commerce i
vessels. Hence it behooves the United I
States to rush the work of construction '
to the very limit and in the meantime toj
throw in all the commerce carrying ves- j
sels available. We must give the entente j
nations our very best, even though it;
might mean the last ship under American j
registry. Germany i defeated, virtually
defeated, except in this most desperate
phase of its activity. The United States i
must defeat Germany in this. I

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Show Your Colors.
Editor, Barre Times: Visitors to our
city are astonished at the apathy of
many of our citizens in not displaying
thelajr at their homes, as requested by
the mayor, in some cities the councils
have ordered it to be displayed on every
I building and on every vehicle on the
streets.
For the fifth time in her history, our
country is calling, through our noble
president, upon the loyal sons and daugh
ters to help in protecting ber soil from
the invasion of the most fiendish and
ruthless foe that ever threatened her ex
istence, and Vermont has always an
swered promptly like Ethan Allen at Ti
conderoga. This is the time and place for all but
the followers of LaFollette, Gronna and
their ilk to fling out the flag that ha
always floated in the cause, of freedom
and humanity, to show to the world thst
they are true patriotic Americans, ot
slackers. "Vermonter."
