HAITI TO WATCH SHIP
THAT BEARS CASTRO
Every Effort Will Be Made to
Prevent Ex-PreSident From
Reaching Venezuela.

A Haitian warship has been detailed to
watch the movements of the steamer Con
sui Grostuck reported to have on board
Cipriano Castro the exiled president OF
Venezuela. Haiti is cooperating with the
Venezuelan and other governments to pre-
vent the return of the former president
to his native land Nothing is known
here as to the Consul Grostuck's right
to fly the German flag.
1t is assumed by officials here that
Venzuela already has taken up the mat
ter with the German government and
that Germany. which has large interests
in the South American republic. will
adopt measures, in cooperation with
other countries. to thwart any designs
which Castro may have against Venzuela.
There are several American vessels in
Latin-American waters. and these, with
keep a sharp lookout for the Venezuelan
exile. In view of the worldwide CO.
operation. which seems assured, State
Department officials today felt confident
that the present effort of Castro to re-
turn would be as much a failure as his
attempt to stay at Martinique several
years ago. when the French government
deported him on q vessel bound for Eu-
rope
Going to Port au Prince.
PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti. June IA
The steamer Consul Grostuck. which is
reported to have on board Cipriano Cas-
tro, deposed president of Venezuela. was
still at Port de Paix this morning but
getting up steam, with the intention OF
continuing her trip. The vessel is eX-
pected here tomorrow morning.
President Simon was interviewed today.
and said that he did not know whether
Castro was on the Consul Grostuck. as
reported to his government by John B.
Terres, the American consul here.
The Consul Grostuck reached Port de
Paix recently from San Juan. Porto
Rico.
Ammunition on Board.
Castro, it is said. has a large supply
Of arms and ammunition on board the
warship, and President Simon is at his
wits end to know what to do with the
doughty exile and his stock of NUM-
tions Of war.
A new note Of mystery Is injected in
to the circumstances surrounding the
purchase Of the warship by Gen. Cas-
tro's presence on board. Haitian gov
ernment officials are at a loss to un-
derstand how he was permitted to go
aboard a vessel belonging to this coun-
try's navy and to take munitions OF
war with him.

1T is painful fact that while the
great bulk of the newspapers and periodi-

TIE RECIPROCITY SITUATION.

1t was taken for granted that the Can
adam reciprocity agreement would be
passed by the House without any trou-
BILE, and the vote of 265 to 50 shows
that great many Republicans joined
with the Democratic party in putting
the measure through The rub will
come in the Senate, with its small Re-
publican majority and long and hard
fought battle is in prospect Jack Har-
ris, Vermont farmer and Senate door
keeper, gives us the tip that the agree
ment will fail in the Senate; but we
prefer to wait for the vote A great
deal will depend on the independent ae-
tons of the members, for the meas
ure's fate will swing by a balance Of
few votes. As far as Vermont's two
votes are concerned it is certain that
Senator Dillingham; will follow his an
nounced policy and vote, as did both
Representative Foster and Representa-
tive Plumley yesterday, against the
adoption of the proposed agreement. By
published word, Senator Page has not re-
vealed his probable decision, and there
is some hope that he will align him
self with the policy advocated so ably
by Republican president and far-seeing
man.

Give Us q Square Deal.

Here is an instance going long way
to show how little the people of other
states, even right here in New England
know about actual conditions in Yer
mont, and how easy it is for them TO
/ fall into line with the more or less
I prevalent popular notion that this is
pretty desolste region and has little
social or industrial life worth serious
consideration. The Boston chamber of
commerce recently published preten-
/ tious volume of over four hundred pages
under the title New England, What
1t Is, and What Ii Intends to Be" and
put it into free circulation for the pur-
pose of bringing the attention OF the
country at large to some of the unde-
veloped business and other opportunities
that await capital and enterprise. One
chapter in the book is devoted to New
England Summer Resorts" and, after
page after page has been taken up with
descriptions of the charms and attrae
lions of all the five other states, one
cheap little paragraph is given to Yer
mont. beginning with these words: ITO
this hasty generalization of outdoor New
England and it's possibilities there
should be added word or two about
Vermont"
And @word or two" is all we get
Think of It! There isn't a more beau
tiful state lying outdoors on this North
American continent. And that isn't the
mere boast Of home pride, either, but
the deliberate judgment of travellers
that have seen the picturesque charms
OF the world.
This is the state whose western val
ley Ambassador Bryce described public
" as "The noble pleasure ground, the
most delightful region of eastern Amer
ica."

Vermonters may be slow to rise to

condition, but the reputation of their
state, the character OF its climate and
natural resources. and the social and
economic condition OF its people, are all
grotesquely misrepresented to the world
outside through ignorance or indiffer
ence, and sometimes both.
ANY man outside that actually wants
to know the truth about her can be
convinced in q very fe wdays of Jour
