To be able to "fire" a railroad prrai
dent, or all the railroad president!, it the
' ituff of whii'h boy dreams will be mde
hereafter. No longer does the dream of
being president hold such a glamor, now
that MrAdoo has tossed dozens of rail
road heads like- so much deadwood.
One of these days the German -j
planners will realize that they will have
to provide something beside shore bat
teries and light cruisers in order to pro
tect their naval bases on the Belgian
coast from being wiped out by the allies
' The boldness of the new maneuvers by
the British fleets shows the Germans that
their grand fleet must come out of its
hiding and do Its share of the war work
providing it is capable of doing it against
the fast-growing navies of the allied
powers. The allies are simply running
away with the war as it is being fought
on the water.
t Some persons who thought the report
of Capt. Archie Roosevelt being wounded
in action was more or less press agent
.work, calculated to make interesting
reading to the American public because
the father of the young officer was for
merly president of the United States
will have a chance to revise their opin
ions, now that it has been learned that
Captain Roosevelt is still in a hospital
after months, with one arm and one leg
practically shot away. Captain Roose--velt
is not a make-believe casualty by
any means; he is the real terrible thing.
Moreover, he is showing some of the
.spirit which made his father such a pow
er in national affairs.
, The entente world, and presumably
the Germanic world too, will await with
great interest the developments which
will show the meaning of the anuounce
ment that military plans are now under
tway to prevent German encroachment in
the far east. That Japan, and perhaps
China, will figure in the movement is t
be taken for granted because Japan an
China are most vitally interested in that
section of the globe. It is to be hoped
that the vast 'potentialities of the two
Oriental countries are about to be util
ized in the' purpose to rid the world
Prussian. sm. I p to the present time
neither one of those nominal allies
Great Britain, France, the United States
and Italy has done anything particularly
worthy of itself or of the cause which
they are supposed to represent. Wheth
er that is due to prohibition on the part
of the ruling countries of the allies or to
reluctance on the part of the two nation
themselves has never been revealed.
is certain that Japan at least can exert
a powerful influence when once directed
to the task.
i
Financing the War
There is an idea prevalent among many classes of people, and we hear it
often expressed like this: What a tremendous amount of money there is in this
country! Where does all the money come from? '
We hear this especially after the flotation of a Liberty Loan.
Now the answer to this question is simply this. The money does not come
from anywhere, and there is no more money in the country to-day than there was
before the first Liberty loan was floated.
The point is this financing this war is not a money transaction at all, it is
simply and purely a matter of credit. Unfortunately, the amount of credit is ex
pressed in terms of dollars, and this is where the confusion arises.
Such vast financial transactions as the three Liberty Loans must of necessity
impose great burdens upon the credit system and consequently require consider
able inflation. This inflation is made possible, however, and can be used with safe
ty through the Federal Reserve System. When these fundamentals are fully un
derstood, people are coming to a fuller appreciation of the value of our great
banking system. We are members of this system and are therefore contributing
directly to its greater usefulness.

ually borne down and defeated. That
was the fate of F.nsign Stephen Totter
of Detroit, Mich. However, the reports
go to show that Potter was not a quitter
by any means and that he was ready to
put up the fight even against those great
odds. The enemy, even though they all
may have escaped destruction, knew that
they had been in a fight, and a hard one
at that, although their numerical supe
riority left little doubt of the outcome.
Ensign Stephen Potter was of the right
stuff and he fought till his machine was
completely incapacitated. All honor to
Ensign Stephen Potter, brave man! The
American fighting forces, let it be added,
are lull of men of his stamp whether
they be in the aviation service, the in
fantry, the navy or any other branch of
the service. Time will bring them to
light; and their opportunity will sens
their country well.

MEETING THUGS WITH THEIR OWN
WEAPONS.
We Americans were among the first to
shudder against the act of the German
in utilizing poison gas as a weapon ii
warfare, and the most of us are still in
clined to believe that the eventual Hague
conference ought to make an effort to
eliminate the use of gas for all time
However, we are forced to admit that
safety of the world depends at the pres
ent time upon the utilization of all the
methods of waging war on a wholesale
scale. Self-preservation demands that
the thug be treated with the same sort
of weapon which he wields himself, pro
viding such a weapon can be obtained.
Self -preservation of nations large and
small demands that the weapons
brought to bear by the thug nations be
turned on the thugs whenever practic
ble. Germany is a thug. Therefore
Germany with her bloody hand at the
throat of . many peace-loving nations
must be dealt with as the call for life
necessitates. Then, when this terrible
. tffair is concluded and the world begins
to compose itself after the great upbear
al, the conference of the nations should
be directed to the duty of adopting some
International rules which shall prohibit
the use of such fiendish weapons as pois
on gas and, coupled with those rules, the
strong hand for enforcement of them
Americans, and, no doubt, the peoples of
our allies in large part, are opposed to
the use of poison gss as a battle weapon.

The Music Appropriation
Editor, The Times: Upon inquiry re
cently I was pained to learn that the
Barre pipe band and the. Christoforo Co
lombo band, those two worthy organiza
tions which are furnishing music for our
patriotic gatherings when so many of
our musicians of military age are with
the colors, do not share alike the rela
tively small appropriation which the city
council nas made lor amusements this
year. Indeed, as a friend of both bands
and an admirer of the fine spirit in which
they have given freely of their services
whenever they were solicited, I dislike
to believe that our city council inten
tionally discriminated against the young
Italian musicians and their leader in the
matter of apportioning money for band
concerts this season. It seems that none
of the players is paid for his services,
and that the money received from the
city, liad the band secured a part of the
concert appropriation, would have been
expended entirely for new music and
other supplies. In these days when the
inspirational success of our manifold
fiublic gatherings depends so much on the
ively music the local bands can furnish,
is it fair to anDronnate all of the con
cert money to one band to the exclusion
of the other? Mr knowledge of the pipe
band and its friendly relations with the
Italian musicians whenever the two have
appeared in public together leads me to
believe that the pipers would be perfectly
willintr to share the $250 provided bv the
council with the juvenile band. Perhaps
the city council will explain the apparent
discrimination. tair nay.

YEAR'S WORK SURVEYED.
Barre Evening Drawing School Exhibi
tion Now Being Held.
Once strain the work of the Barre free
evening drawing school is placed before
the public for inspection. The seventh
year in the existence of a school tnat
has come to be retarded as an important
adjunct of the granite industry closed
this week. Last evening the school
rooms in the Mathewson building were
thrown open for those who cared to look
over the work of students in the three
departments of the school. The exhibi
tion will continue this afternoon, and
again this evening, closing Monday even
ing. Four sessions weekly have been
held since the school reopened last Sep
tember. There has been a total enroll
ment of 127, of whom P5 were listed as
regular students.
The war has affected the attendance
. ....
in a measure, as tne percentage oi omer
students has shrunk perceptibly. Never
theless, with an efficient corps of instruc
tors, the work has gone forward among
the younger students, and the results
have been gratifying. Much of the ele
mentary work, as disclosed by an inspec
tion of the specimen drawings, enables
one to make an adequate comparison be
tween the evening drawing school studies
and the drawing curriculum in the day
school as it is followed bv the students
from the eighth grade to the last year in
the high school. In most respects the
work ia not at all dissimilar, and at
many points the courses run parallel. I
As in former vears, the school courses
have been divided among students desir-
ing elementary drawing, advanced draw-
ng ana araning, ana moaenng ana moa-
I making. In the latter department the!
efection of older students because of;
he war has reduced the quantity of
work accomplished, but an inspection of
he modeling department indicates that
he quality of the output has been main
ained. A number of excellent copiea
from nature and from models are on ex
hibition. They have been painstakingly
wrought out of clay and visit t. the
school is worth while, even though the
isitor should go no farther than the
modeling department.

COWS RUIN AIRPLANES.
Whenever Machines are Left Unguarded
in Texas Fields.
Dallas, Tex., May 25. Discovery that
Texas cattle will eat the wings of an
airplane if the machine is left unguard
ed is one of the reasons why a general
order to "stick with the machine, no
matter what happens," i impressed upon
each cadet aviator training in Texas.
The cadets are instructed particularly
never to leave their "ships" in fields no
matter how far from the traveled road.
The fact that cows have an appetite
for airplanes was discovered only after
one or two machines had suffered real
loss from discriminating Texas cattle.
The wide, supporting planes arc cov
ered with a cellulous preparation that
makes them air tight, known in the tech
nique of flying as "dope," and "dope"'
makes as tasty a meal fur cows as the
bovines have discovered for a long time,
It softens under their tongue and the
cattle in their eagerness to obtain it
will chew the expensive linen planes to
pieces to extract the last particle o
"dope" flavor.
Another reason for the order is tha
an airplane is a valuable piece of prop
perty with many detachable parts of
fering an attractive invitation to looters
if one were left unprotected in a lone
ly field or on a road.
fcouvenir hunters, however,, are much
more feared than thieves. Aviators, who
have made forced landings while on cross
country flights, say it requires their ut
most vigilance to keep curious spectators
from breaking up their "ships and car
rying them away piecemeal, so eager are
the country people for souvenirs.
An aviator landed recently in a wheat
field not far from here. The curiosity
and interest in mm was so treat that
in less than an hour, the field was to
crowded that the owner of the ground
had to ask tha Dallas police to clear
the field to prevent his growing crops
from nevng stamped into a total loss.
