the time that might be spent in going

But with most Of the workers the case

inducement for keeping them. On the

The BRYAN Peace Treaties.

Secretary Bryan's is peace treaties,
now ratified by the Senate with incom-
parable ease, are strongly Endorsed by
the editorial in the July number of the
American Journal of international Law.
"Mr. Bryan is to be congratulated" il
says, upon having secured the discus
sion of all disputes between the con-
tracing parties, not otherwise provided
for, by the apparently simple yet effee-
tive device of an investigation and re-
port. which is believed to be tantamount
TO settlement
These treaties represent solid achieve
ment, and they are the more valuable
because they are so simple in their pur-
pose. The most acrimoniously criticized
secretary Of state in many years, Mr.
Bryan has now done something that will
make his tenure of Office memorable in
the future. For the normal condition OF
nations is peace, not war, and when En-
rope again settles down to peaceful pur
suits these treaties win be recognized
as possessiong real value in the mainte-
nance of amicable international rela-

TYPHOID IN BURLINGTON.
Seven Cases Believed to Have Originated
on One Milk Route.

Burlington, Aug ls.-Dr. F. w. Sears
of the local board of health makes the
following statement regarding the ap-
pearance of typhoid fever in certain Sec
tions of Burlington: There are seven
cases of active typhoid and several sus-
picious cases. All of them seem TO have
originated on one milk route, and the
board is now engaged in making a thor
ough examination OF the farm and sur
roundings in determination to arrive at
the causes. The infections so far OBJ
SERVED probably all took place within
one or two DAYS of each other. and as
no other cases have occurred the danger
is no doubt entirely passed. The board
has manstationed at the farm to OBJ
serve conditions and prevent the disposal
of any questionable milk. Regarding
the rumor that the city water supply
was at fault, the board made an exhaus-
tive investigation and found that the
water is entirely free from all danger.
The filter is working perfectly and does
not seem to have had anything to do
with the introduction of the typhoid"

Belgium's Lesson for Us.

Pending developments decisive of eth
er campaigns or results. the war, though
but a fortnight old, affords a number
of lessons worthy the earnest attention
of neutral nations, especially nations
whose ways are those of peace. We
have been told so often and 80 loudly
that it was a waste of money and time
for little nations to organize military
systems that the assertion has received
wide credence. The first blow in the
present colossal struggle fell on Belgium,
a little nation normally devoted to peace
full industry, hard working, quiet, mind
ing its own business. Before "a hours
had passed the immense worth of such
military system as 100000 people could
maintain without undue exaction on
their toilers was demonstrated before
the eyes of an astonished world. The
Belgian troops at Liege stood up to their
work like heroes and broke the inn
petus of that advance which the Ger
mans had calculated on TO carry them
with a rush into the north of France.
A little nation with peace establish
ment of $4,000 troops blocked the prog
ress of the hosts of its gigantic neigh
Dor.
In the stout resistance Belgium made
and is still making there is lesson for
nations who would preserve their indie
pendence without mourning the tremend
GUS expense Of keeping up vast armies
in time of peace. but the lesson which
the United States ought to heed, even if
il is in the category Of great powers,
must be learned from the right end.
Belgium has but $4,000 officers and men
in its standing army while peace pre-
walls. The army is recruited by con
scription which bears but lightly on the
available mass of manhood. Back of
the standing army is the civic guard, a
maintained body essentially
in. organization and capabilities.
The civic guard having $4,000 electives.
Belgian's first line" when the war
opened, aggregated about 100000 officers
and men, which is essentially the nu
merical strength of the FIRST line" OF
the United States. AT this point Bel
GUM and the United States militarily
part company. The Belgian military
strength can be expanded to $4,000 men

CURRENT COMMENT
Calls Dunnett's Announcement Weak.

Alexander Dunnett OF st. Johnsbury
says he has resigned his job as United
States district attorney in order to be-
come a candidate for Congress from the
second Vermont district.
There is probably unconscious humor
in the use of the word resigned" In
the course of events political it must
have been about time to receive Demo
cratic toe that would hoist him into pri-
vate life once more.
In an announcement taking up about
a column of newspaper space he ad-
dresses his remarks to "The Voters of
the Second Congressional District" He
states, however, that Sc seeks the Re
publican nomination.
In the announcement the candidate
gives his views on the tariff and mill
tary school. If the personality of the
candidate is as weak as his announce
ment, his congressional boom won't trav.
