The French aero service could scarcely
have been doing its full duty to permit
a hostile aeroplane to sail over the city
and drop four bombs in mid day into the
streets Of the metropolis; and it was
fortunate for the city that the neglect
at watchfulness should have resulted in
so little loss of life and damage to prop
erty. The lines of the enemy are so near
the boundaries of the city that it is
comparatively easy to send up air craft
in reconnaissance OF the capital, and it
would be expected that the French serv-
ice of like sort would be on the qui vive
all the time to prevent the approach of
such hostile craft.

THE DECLINE OF POLIOMYELITIS
OUTBREAK.

Experience of other states with polio
myelitis leads to the belief that Yer
mont will find complete subsistence oil
! its outbreak of the disease with tnt
| the past week. In lowa's epidemic oil
| the disease back in 1910 the disease be-
gan late in March and reached its height
in July, tapering off as the fall months
of the year approached until there was
no further outbreak of the disease in
the communities most sorely afflicted.
So there is reason to expect that YER
mont will soon have its outbreak elm
mated. Indeed, there already is sub
sidenee of the disease noted by the state
board of health and few new cases have
been reported during the past week or
10 days. The hot, dry days of early
September seem to have been prolific in
development of cases, just as was the
case in Mason City, Ia, during months
when the rainfall was far below normal
and the temperature was somewhat high
er than normal. These similar condi-
tions under which the disease manifested
itself most prominently constitute one
of the few clues TO the Identification of
the disease which is battling the med
ieal profession. Wet and cold weather,
it has been determined, is not calculated
to advance the progress of an epidemic
OF this nature. However, there should be
no relaxing of quarantine or of efforts to
suppress the outbreak until the last case
has been eliminated from the state.

The death of the veteran foreman of
composers il. the Office of the Boston
Transcript just a few days before he
would have celebrated half-eentury of
service on that journal brings out the
fact that the Transcript has one other
employe of even longer period of service.
This latter employee has been on the
force for Sc years and, to use the con-
temporary's words, is Still carrying his
responsibilities with apparently unabat-
cd vigor." Such a record is rarely
equalled, or even approached, in the
newspaper business, and it marks high
degree of faithfulness on the part of
the employee.

A bloodless rebellion has just been
carried out in Brattleboro; and the
young Democrats have won over the ''old
'uns" in caucus assembled, electing their
candidates as delegates to the county
convention as a protest against the DOM
ineering attitude of few party leaders,
as one of the young revolutionists ex-
pressed it. When such old warehouses;
as Rollin S. Chids go down to defeat it
is quite an important victory for the
side that opposed him.

JUDSON NOT WANTED
HERE, JOHNSON SAYS
Cary Only Member of Commit
tee Who Wants to Examine
Former Commissioner.

Although Col. William V. Judson,
former Engineer Commissioner of the
District, is reported en- route here from
Panama to appear before the House
District Committee in connection with
the Cary charges, Chairman Ben John
son knows nothing of the desire of the
committee to interrogate Colonel Jud-
son. Mr.. johnson says Colonel Judson
has not been subpoenaed and that he
knows Of no information in Colonel
JudsOn's possession which the commit
tee is seeking.
Congressman Cary, the member of
the District Committee who recently
charged that Colonel Judson avoided
service of a subpoena from the District
Committee and that he was wanted in
connection with the real estate assess
ment investigation, is i'll at his home in
Milwaukee. No other member of the
District Committee seems to have any
desire to examine Colonel Judson, and
there is evidently no desire to revive
the old controversy.
LAS far as know, there is no reason
for Colonel Judson's appearance here. "
said Mr.. Johnson today. No member
of the committee has expressed any de-
sire to ask him questions, and do not
know of anything which would make it
before the District Committee
Mr.. johnson said he did not know
where the rumor started that Colonel
Judson is returning to testify. Unless
Colonel Judson demands a hearing on
the Cary allegations there is no senti-
ment among House District Committee
members to go into the charges.

READING |SSTRONG
FEATURE IN MARKET
Makes Good Advance in Face
of Easing Prices in List.
Other Gains Made.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-ReadinS was
strong feature in an otherwise re-
acting market today. The stock gain
ed IA points, where most other issues
were showing small losses on further
realizing sales and on the strength of
the Japanee talk. One rumor purport-
ing to explain Readings strength was
that II. c. Frick had taken over its en-
tire Lake Shore holdings. Others said
that the buying results from an agree
ment between the Government and one
of the railroads holding a large block
of Reading stock by which the COM
pany's stock was to be sold in the
open market and not to asyndicate
teen completed. There was selling
of Rock Island common for foreign
account and that stock slumped off a
full point. Steel went eff = to SOS,
recovering slightly. Union opened rs
down and recovered about y.
On the other hand, there were some
strong features here and there. What
looked like pool buying in Corn Prod
ucts brought the level of the common
stock up TO IL. gain of 1h, while the
preferred advanced to IL. gain of TX
Texas Oil also jumped 3b points. The
Tobacco stocks exhibited strength,
American Tobacco going up 3%; Lig-
eett and Myers, 5 points, and Snuff az.
Baltimore and Ohio, Canadian Pacific
and Guggenheim also were strong.
The Subtreasury gained s, ,636, 600 from
the banks Tuesday, increasing the net
cash gain to 1856, 600 since Friday.
A worldwide easing in money is in
dtcated by q London cable to the effect
that the Bank Of England is expected
to reduce its discount rate Of BIZ per
cent tomorrow. The relaxation OF the
London money market Is Illustrated by
the fact that the greater portion Of the
$4,000 pounds sterling Of per cent
Sac Paulo notes soon to be offered has
already been sold.
A St. Petersburg cable reports the
submission Of a tentave proposition by
group Of Russian interests to the
finance minister today looking to the
establishment Of a Russo-United States
bank for the purpose of increasing COM
merce between Russia and this coun-
try. 1t Is understood that leading
American banking interests are con-
nected with the plan.

BIG RAD|UM TALES
ATTACKED IN HOUSE

Aroused by stories Of a big rush TO
Colorado's radium lands, Congressman
Taylor of Colorado today told the House
Mines Committee that while he is op-
posed to the Governments withdrawal
plan he is ready to 50 the limit TO
head off monopoly and espe tally con-
solidation of claims by foreigners. He
admitted that some OF the ''radium
fever stories may be inspired"
]. F. Colbraith, Of Denver a member
of the American Mining Congress, ep-
posed the Lane withdrawal plan, be-
cause, he said, it would DESTROY prospec-
tors initiative.
Charles L. Parsons, OF the United
States Bureau of Mines, asserted that
stories of vast available radium ore
supplies in the West are misleading and
exaggerated.
Frank L. Hess, OF he United States
Geological Survey. threw a bomb into
the hearing when he declared all the
radIum lands of which he knows are
already filed on, although ne believes
there is still one remaining territory un-
located.
Congressman Kindel of Colorado sug-
gested the establishment of a Govern
ment radium refinery to which pros
pectors could bring their product.

Government obtain written agreement
if it inters into its proposed partner

committee from Baltimore. asserted
weeds are hiding historic spots from

buiEin are being permitted to fall
into decay. They requested passage of
Representative Linthicum's bill to have
the fort properly ceded by the Govern
ment to Baltimore.

ernment shall retain the old fort. but

Would Connect Various
Departments by Tubes

The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds held a hearing
today on the proposal TO connect up
The various Government departments
with pneumatic mail tubes. The com
mittce decided to ask opinions from the
several department heads, following the
testimony Of r. G. Collins, ir, a con-
iracttng engineer, who is anxious 70
install the system.
Mr.. Collins estimated that an annual
saving Of so, 900 may be had under the
tube system of communication among
the postoffice and the several depart
mcnts. While the hearing was on.
chairman Clark received a letter from
Secretary McAdoo, which was some
hat unfavorable to the plan, the Sec
TctEry saying that the operating cost
would be high. On receipt of this let
ter the committee asked Mr. Collins
10 make more detailed estimates, and
the opinions Of department heads will
be obtained later.
