June debates glare over war endings and the Simonds case while Americans face Fourth of July plans. Reports on Brest clashes and a drunken officer’s flag desecration spark calls for apologies. Washington and Orange counties urge World War I veterans in Barre to wear uniforms for a unified homecoming parade.
An editorial argues that protests against the allied blockade of Germany ignore Germanys unreliable wartime conduct and the risk of nonratification. It contends that the Allies should maintain the blockade until Germany demonstrates intent to fulfill obligations to the Allies, the world, and civilization, using nonviolent leverage.
The Ver satilen treaty, signed Saturday, shows human frailties and some faults yet reflects earnest work by leading Allied nations. It contains bartering and restraint from ideal aims, leaving loose ends and not fully satisfying all claimants. Still it is perhaps the best possible under postwar conditions, though open to future criticism.
The Barre Times explains terms like Salies and Nancies and notes the Salvation Army and US travel planes from Rockaway Beach. It questions whether appointing Frank D. Thompson of Barton as supreme court reporter paves a path to judgeship and warns against precedent guiding judicial selections.

A controversial patriotic piece argues Germans admit defeat and warns against welcoming German influence. It claims German arrogance collapses as peace terms take effect and accuses authorities of leniency toward enemies planning to dodge duties in the United States.
Readers are urged to back American leadership and reject foreign entanglements. Vermont volunteers and the state’s disbanding plan receive comment, praising parole efforts and reduced jail crowding, while accusations arise about oath violations in six states and constitutional concerns.
The Boston Transcript notes Dawedler aims for a professional golf career despite pleas to avoid strenuous heat. It contrasts past chatter about effort with a claim that millions of band gromades will be repurposed into home savings banks, reflecting a shift from war to domestic finance.
