By the action of the governor of Ver- mont in announcing that he will not call 1 special session of the legistature in his state for the purpose of taking action up- on the suffrage amendment he causes surprise from the faet that indications had been given as the. result of the re- cent Washington conference that Gov- ernor Clement was going to order a spe- cial session. His action therefore indi- cates that hope was the father of the re- port or else he has undergone a change of mind sinee then, though it is more probable that the former reason is the correct ome. ‘With this announcement the chanee that Vermont will be the 36th state to ratify is ended, and it reduced by one 3 55| possibre ton o council in removin fact well remembered; Whatever the Tesult of the aking to g Al ciirye i becomes ‘plain that' Governor Clement ‘of |- -for . himselt|’ Vermont has determined + what his duty under the Vermont con- stitution is and intends to follow-it. He holds the state constitution higher than the pressure of political expediency and if the améndment to the federal comsti- tution is adopted in time for the women to vote in November throughout the country it will have to come without the vote of the Vermont legislature. THE DEMANDS ON GERMANY. In spite of the fact that thé Gérmans about a reduction of the it cannot fail to be realiz that the allies are firm in théif pesition and that such concessions as théy are making must be supported by faets. * Germany, in connection with thé far- nishing of coal to the allies offered to provide half of the tonnage demanded. The allies agreed that there should be a reduction in the amount to the extent lof 200,000 tons monthly but they still insist on the two million tons and’ un- less Germany agrees to this amount it will be necessary for the allies to stép in and superintend the delivéry them- selvés. Germany of course represents that it is not able to do what is demanded, that every ton sent to the allies means just that much curtailment in thé Gérman production and that the taking away of the coal intérrupts industry and such in- terruption hinders just that much in the payment of the indemnities. Perhaps it is only natural fthat Ger- many should be eager to dévote every its coal to production, and it is of course a weighty plea that it makes when it says that such is a vi- tal matter, but it eannot be everlocked ment is quit® as necessary in the other countries where it has been made necés- sary because of the acts of the Germans. The rebuilding of allied industry and even. the revival of the coal industry has been made the harder because of the de- structive policy that Germany followed throughout the war. Germany . is re- sponsible for the position in which the allies are. It is responsible for the de- mands that are being made upon it. It is being ealled upon to pay for its o¥wn acts. The handicaps which it placed up- on the allies are proving a Bboomerang from which it wants te escape, and it is to be realized that there is a disposition among fthe allies to be far more con- siderate toward the Germans in the exac- tion of the penalty than they ever man- ifested in their treatment of ths inne- cent during the long years of the war. ADMIBAL FISHER. By the death of Admiral John Fisher Bnglind loses one of its important na- val figures who will occupy a permanent place in naval history. He had seen many years of service but during a period when there were not many great naval opera- tions £o that he will not be numbered among the great fighting admirals, &l- theugh as Lord Fisher of the British ad- miralty he figured prominently during the recent war. He was among those | who had reason to say “I told you so,” when the war with Germany broke out. He was an ardent exponent of prepar- edness. He was constantly advocating and took a prominent part in supporting the efforts that resulted in increasing the standard of gunfire in the British fleet. He saw great possibilities in the dread- nought and much can be attributed to his efforts in having it adopted in preference to the old type of battleships. He was a man of strong cenvictions whose judgrent was not always rated as the best, though his direetion of the fight that the British fleet won at the Falkland islands as first lord of the admiralty was a brilllant achievement and did much to offset the mistakes of others previously committed. Though he Wwas opposed to the eampaign in the Gallipoli peninsula he withdrew his opposition’ at the appeal of other leaders only to witness what he has persistently .feared from such an un- dertaking. Probably the most effectlve work that he did in connection with the navy came at times when it was a case of prepar- ing rather than fighting. He was a stickler for perfection and a constant ad- voeate of improved Aghting machines be- ing secured to replace the types that were less efficient. What he might have done as a fighter ean only be imagined from the service that he remdered the navy in other respects. " EDITORIAL NOTES.
