Some had feared the tree was hollow

so. The bees were located only in the

An estimate was made to ascertain
the age of The tree by the growth, but
the growth had been so small for many

However, it is safe TO say that the tree

GREEN MOUNTAIN LORE
Traditional signing of VermOnt's Con.
stitutiOn in Old Tavern Not Based
on Historical Fact.
CFrom the Windsor JournalD

While there has always been doubt in
the minds of many people of the author
ity for the tradition that the first consti-
tuition OF the State of Vermont was sign
ed in the old tavern which formerly stood
on the corner OF Main street and Depot
avenue and was known as the Old Con-
stitution House, II remained for recent
investigation to establish the almost I'M
REPUTABLE conclusion that the constitu-
ton was never signed there What basis
there is for the assumption that the con-
stitution was signed in the old tavern
has never been set forth In print by the
Old Constitution House society which Is
trying to rehabilltate the building for n
memorial. The society has evidently
been satisfied with the local tradition
that the adoption took place there and
has apparently never thoroughly inves-
tigated the matter in an effort to learn
the source of the tradition. In making
the investigation the writer was prompt
ed in no way by desire to discredit the
members of the society in their effort to
preserve an historic landmark. The
| search of records was made with the
| idea of gaining some light regarding the
| tradition of the signing of the constitu-
| ton and in hope of aiding In clearing
| up the doubts of certain individuals. II
was surprise to uncover records which
point with almost absolute certainty to
the fact that the constitution of Yer
mont was signed on July s. 17T7, in the
town house" or meeting house" which
stood on the site OF the present Old South
| Church
| In order to make clear the reason for
arriving at the conclusion stated above
it is necessary to relate a little OF the
history incident to the signing OF the
historic document. The following facts
are obtained from the officially printed
records authorized by the State of Ver-
mont In 1873
From the first settlement and organiza-
ton of the towns in the New Hampshire

THE BURLINGTON THURSDAY

Gie cumulative, both swing in everwidon-
ing orbits. A truth once thrown into
the world Is gathered UP as part of the
sum of experience and the world can
never be quite the same again. 1t must
be thus with the truth that war Is I'M
reasonable, uneconomic and distinctly
not worth while. Tho truth has been
scattered ar and wide. War has blazed
out worse than ever. What of that; 1t
viii only impress more forcefully the
truth of a sound proposition When the
nations find themselves Impoverished.
when the poor find that the greatest
burden, the burden of suffering, must In
evitably be borne by them war will
be the more intolerable. OF course
there will be relapses. but they
will come less frequently and in
the the sensible, the reasonable, the
true thing will be taken into the
lives of the many and war will be
as much an outlaw as other kinds OF
murder.

WHAT OF THE PEACE PROPA-
GANDAS

What becomes of the peace propa-
ganda when all Europe goes off like
well primed string Of frecrackers? Are
all the money and thought and wisdom
that went to the clarifying of The Hague
conferences wasted? Is the vision Of
peace a nonsonsical pipe-dream? Many
people are questioning thus at this time.
In a moment firm convictions have been
shaken and overthrown. Almost the
other day no less a man than David
Starr Jordan was proving with mathe-
matical certainty that another general
European war was absolutely impos-
sible. The president of Leland Stanford
was cminently able to show that
the common undertakings, common in
terests and trade relations of European
nations We're 50 great and so inter
twined that they simply could not he
brought to the point of war with each
other As far as figures and reasons
went DIR. Jordan was right. War was
nationally impossible. He made his mis-
take by supposing that humanity had
reached the point of development at
which it could be termed rational.
History has this trick OF upsetting our
fondest theories. And our most plaus-
ible lines of thinking havo this tendency
to overshoot the actual events 1t was
thus when France had achieved n re-
public, the strongest thinkers thought
the masses so recently escaped would
never go back to the yoke which they
had thrown off, The outcome Of the
French revolution actually sicSened and
lisgusted men like Wordsworth and
Coleridge and all but drove them out OF
the world And so It has been with
our own republic, though in less meas
ure. After We had thrown off foreign
dictation in a furore of enthusiasm for
freedom, and had forever solved the
problem OF good government, as we
thought, by insttuting self-government,
many problems continued to arise until
.o-day we are inclined to feel as far
rom the ultimate ideals Of the found
srs of our government as Americans
ever We're, History delights In overturn-
ng the best laid plans,
And yet these apparent setbacks are
not the complete reversion that they
laem. The gains of the early part of the
french revolution were not lost. Once

sequently they are doing their best to
get word of all that Is happening, and,
Judging from the reports that come In
and the way I'm which these reports are
sustained by later information, they are
accomplishing wonders in this line.
From the confirmed news which we
have, we know that the Germans. who,
It is safe to assume, nre in force all
along the French border, have made at
tempts to penetrate French territory by
passing through the neutral States of
Luxembourg and Belgium. We do not
know that they have as yet penetrated
French territory on either frontier. Re-
ports told Of extensive lighting around
Lege when the Belgian army located
at that spot met the invaders with
stubborn resistance and checked them
temporarily at least We are fairly GER
tain that the town of Liege has been
occupied by Germans. but that the forts
which are the strength of the situation
believe that the reports from French
and Belgian sources have exaggerated
the numbers of German soldiers killed
and captured around Iyege We know
also that the French have invaded
Alsace- Lorraine although that this
means anything more than a bid for
popular enthusiasm does not yet appear.
From these bare facts It Is possible to
make some deductions with fair de-
knows of Prussian character and mill
tary policy there is reason to believe
that the German campaign was planned
to be one OF swift, hard blows. Tho
early mobilization bears this out Com
mon sense would also dictate such a
course Germany has two frontiers ex-
posed to attack. On the east is Rus
sla, slow to moboize but possessed of
an army outnumberlng that of Ger
men and products. Russia is capable of
invading Germany. on the south Of
Germany is France, with an army
less than that Of the Germans but
fired by dread of the consequences of Ger
man invasion, rich and possessed OF bril-
liant fghting-men. 1t has been generally
assumed that Germany to come glor-
iously out of this war must strike
France a smashing blow and then turn
paign depends upon striking France be-
fore the Russian armies have had time
to mobilize There is every evidence &c
indicate that the German plan contem.
