INTRICATE MAPS
OF THE WAR ZONE
Make II Possible for Commanders TO
Know Just What to Expect as the
Army Advances or Retreats.

Washington, ID. c. Nov. Ito the
wonderfully compeet maps of the Euro
pean war zones, prepared by the war
offices of the belligerents, American army
officers owe the detailed study they are
able TO make of the troop movements in
Belgium and France aud TO some extent,
upon the Austrian Russian, and German
Russian frontiers. When dispatches give
the names OF villages around which
! lighting is in progress, il is possible to
turn to these maps and see at a glance
the character of the country, its roads
and byways with details of their con-
struetion and even to note the nature
OF the soil on slopes where the men will
have to dig in" to withstand the storm
OF rife, machine gun and field piece fire
There are yet no such maps OF this
country. The European maps are the
product of years of toll in preparation
for war and those used by General Jof.
FIRE, the French commander-in. chief, Gen.
eral French, the English leader, and the
German chieftains undoubtedly are far
more complete than any other foreign
governments have been able to obtain
showing the regions now torn by war.
With such maps at his disposal COM
mander can be far in the rear of his
long battle line and yet know from mo-
ment to moment the exact nature of
obstacles in any portion of the front he
is facing. He could direct the places of
intrenchment to within few yards of
any small detail of battery of guns and
could order forward his heavy artillery
along a certain road with entire conf
dence that the road would carry the !
huge weight. There is no trail or by- |
path, ditch or stone fence that is not |
shown.
For nearly Is years the United States |
army has been struggling in modest
way to supplement its maps of this
country SO they would offer, to very
modest degree at least the aid to mill
tary operations which European com
have at hand. The work is
known as the progressive military map
IF the United States and officers are as
signed to carry it forward in various
parts of the country each year A dual
purpose is served by the assignment,
since the officers are given practical
raining in map making which would be
to them in case of war.
The progress of 10 years on the huge l
ask is described by army officers as
insignificant" outside of its education, {
] value. To obtain adequate maps for !
military operations covering every pos
ible theatre of war in this country ,
would mean the expenditure of enor-
nous sums OF money and no provision )
or such an achievement ever has been !
made. The work is being carried for
ard, however, as fully as il possible J.
nder the circumstances, and whenever i
Ulcers are available they 20 out to gath n
+ data to be added to war department
laps. 1t is possible more attention will e
e given to the work at later date and \
ne data thus far assembled will be in !,
lluable as indicating where to eoncen- p
ate efforts and what changes are to be n
Spected in any section from year to a,
ear.

village Excited By Infantile Paralysis

An outbreak of infantile paralysis in
the village school has thrown West
! Townsend into state of excitement
There is but one patient thus far, but
there are II pupils in the school, The
school is closed and the church, store
and houses from which pupils attended
| the school are quarantined by order of
the health officer, DR.. George T. Gale.
The patient is Roy Capen, seven, son
of Mrs. Osceola Capen. He attended the
school Wednesday, although not feeling
well, and that night he was unable to
sleep. DR.. Gale was called next day and
became suspicious. Suddenly the boys
right arm became paralyzed and DIR. Gale
called Dr. O. v. Hefflon of Wardsboro
in consultation Sunday.
Both physicians agreed that the case
was one of infantile paralysis and the
order was at once given to close the
church. school and houses. and it was
decided to close the store for a day at
least.
The village school consists of two
rooms, and in the room which the Capen
boy attends there are IA or Is pupils.
This is the first case of infantile parsly
sis in this part of the town. A case de-
veloped in the east village some two
years ago.
Notices OF the appearance of the dis
ease here were sent to DIR. c. F. Dalton
Of Burlington, secretary of the state |
board OF health, and Or. III. ID. Holton |
Of Brattleboro, member of the board. |
Or. Holton said that in cases of this |
kind quarantine of four weeks was nee
essary. He said that in the case of the
church and store it would be necessary
to keep them closed only until they
could be thoroughly fumigated.

Burlington is to lose the student mill
tary camp to Plattsburg- across the lake
because there is more "open ground" in
the vicinity of the latter city, so we are
informed We didn't know that the Ell
yirons of Burlington had become so
densely populated as such statement
would indicate. Possibly it means that
the occupants of the land about Platts
burg are not so opposed to having sew
eral hundred young men with normal
sized feet tramping over their property,
as few property owners near Burling-
ton seemed to be last summer. Anyway,
1t is rather of misfortune for Vermont
TO lose this camp.

RECONSlDERS RESIGNATION BUT OFFERS TO REARRANGE HIS
 ENTIRE CABINET.
ID SUIT THE UNITED STATES
Alarmed at Disappearance of Gold
 Coin, He Threatens an Edict Pro
 hibting Bankers From Putting Gold Into Circulation.

Mexico City, Jan. 9.-President Huerta, it now is said, will not resign, but is willing to rearrange the per sonne of his cabinet or make almost any concession calculated to improve relations between Mexico and the United states.
 This is the latest report brought from the presidents office and it is said to have been President Huerta s intimation to Archbishop Mora and others who have tried to induce him 10 eliminate himself from the situa- tion. Many persons, however, familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the presi- dent, declare his resignation at this time would be no surprise to them
 The announcement that American Charge O'Shaughnessy would return to the capital from Vera Cruz tomor- s)w and the fact that he has had long conversations with John Lind, HdfE SiNtiA iAoG b0 cl EhlHOl Lldb d itN message from President Wilson is to be delivered to President Iuerta
 Alarmed by the disappearance of Sold coin, Huerta has agreed to is- sue a decree prohibiting bankers from placing in circulation any gold coin. For months gold has been selling in limited quantities at high premium. Despite the law against the eXporta tion of both gold and silver, large quantities have been smuggled from the country
 Two Americans were reported de tained at Vera Cruz today oB a charge of attempting to smuggle gold coin valued at s30000 in American cur
 rency ont of the country.

PRESIDENT SEES
 BRIGHT FUTURE
EXPRESSES IDENTIFICATION AT MANNER IN WHICH BUSINESS
 IS BEING ADJUSTED.
Makes Brief Address to q Committee from Mississippi Legislature Which Visited Him.

Gulfport, Miss, Jan. 9--President Wilson today expressed his gratihca- tion that business interests of the country are adjusting themselves not on4y to changes brought about by re- cent legislation, but to the spirit of the times generally. In the course of an informal speech to committee from the Mississippi legislature, the president said taht this phase of pub lie affairs was uppermost in his mind.
 The committee had come to invite Mir. Wilson to address the legislature of their state, but the president told them he was too deeply absorbed in his message on antitrust reform to leave earlier than his scheduled time or to tarry en route to Washington
 Laudatory resolutions that had been passed by their legislature were read to the president by the commit tee. MT Wilson after smilingly tell ing his callers that they had extolled him too highly, explained that he had come South for complete rest, tat he had been benefited greatly and was going back to Washington both physically and mentally prepar- ed for a period of hard work.
 He referred to the tariff and cur rency reforms as having been accom- | plished by congress simply saving wood" and going ahead with an out lined program. The thing that pleas ed him most, however, he said, was | the way the business interests of the ! country seemed to be acting He made no reference to the recent dis solution agreement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company or the withdrawal of the Morgan Company from it's many director ships, but those who heard the presi dent went away with the impression that he had these tings in mind.
 Te president said expected to read his trust reform message to con gress just as soon as possible aftel his return to Washington.
 He remarked that Ire could mol overstay his vacation in the South, as he expected to confer with Demo cratic leaders in congress as soon as he arrived at the capital
 The meeting with the committee was private. Representative Harri son, who accompanied the visitors said the presidents speech was slg Elficant of his attitude toward bi! business, that the chief execut7, seemed to have a disposition to worl cut the trust question in a peacesui constructive way, and in the spiri of common counsel
 During the afternoon the presiden took a ride to the school house il Pass Christian, where several hun dred children showered him witt hcuquets Tomorrow the preslden and Mrs. Wilson will hold recer ton at the Herndon cottage at Pas
 Christian for the people of this en } surrounding towns.

REPORT DERILICT
 AFLOAT IN GULF
REVENUE CUTTERS SEARCHING FOR LARGE STEAMER SUP
 POSED TO BE GUATEMALA.

Washington, Jan 9,-Revenue cut ter officials started on the trail of another mystery of the sea late tc- day when they were notified by tine hydrographic office of the appearance in the gulf of Mexico of the wreck of a large steamer, apparently the Guatamala. The wreck was reported by the steamer El Mundo, and was declared to be dangerous to naviga- tion. The cutter Miami, out from Kew West in search of another dere- hct, probably will be ordered to search for it.
 The dispatch gave no details con corning the wreck and nothing has been heard from the cutters in the gulf concerning her. There is no Guatamaa i the American maritime register While there is one Brit ish and one French steamer listed under the name Guatamala, officials here cannot explain the presence of either in the gulf. The British yes sel was last reported December as having sailed from Salaverry for Bal boa and the French ship was at Havre, France, January ,.

RAILWAY STRIKE SITUATION AS. SUMES GRAVE ASPECT IN
 NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
CAPE MEN DO NOT STRIKE
Officials Regard This as an Encour- aging Condition Although the Sit uation Has Assumed the Propor- tions of a Regular Tie-Up.

Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, Jan 9.--A remarkable change in the railway strike situation has taken place since Thursday night, when the movement appeared to he a fasco.
 Strike leaders, seeing the move ment had hung fire, appealed to the Johannesburg trades federation today and the federation applied pressure in such a manner as to bring things to an immediate head As a result the situation tonight is one of the utmost gravity.
 An effort today was made to blow up the Cape Mail between Denver and Jeorge Goch. Nobody on board the train was injured, but the front wheels of the pilot engine were b ow off. Another explosion occurred to- night on the railway between Johan- nesburg and Cleveland.
 A unsuccessful attempt to blow up train was made today between Wit poortie and Liupaardsylei Dynamite Twas discovered by foreman track layer just before the arrival of a crowded passenger train from Zee rust.
 The government intends to fight the trades federation to a finish. It is reported that martial law will be proclaimed at Pretoria tomorrow. Several strike leaders who were prominent in the last strike were ar- rested today on charges of sedltion. All were held without bail. Tonight other leaders were taken into GUS tody and at a late hour, following a hurriedly called meeting of the trades federation the federation threatened to call a general strike unless the men detained were liberated.
 Three proclamations were gazetted in Pretoria today calling out citizen forces throughout the Transvaal and citizens reserves in many districts and prohibiting the sale or transpor tation of arms in certain districts.
 There is much apprehension here over the proposed mass meeting call ed for Sunday in Johannesburg, the people recalling the fatal consequen ces of a similar gathering in the square last July.
 Mir. Mason. leader of the tradei federation, addressing a gathering O strikers here today, declared the en tire railway service would be stopped tomorrow, but that it was not intend ed to call out miners who are said tC

HuERrNs FINANCIAL PROBLEM

Washington, Jan 9-Prolongation of the revolution in Mexico is beliey- ed here to depend largely upon the success attained by Gen. Huerta in enforcing circulation of state bank notes Officials here think the test of the popular support of the Huerta government will be found in the man ner in which Mexican business inter ests receive this latest move.
 In preparation for another clash between the Mexicans near Ojinaga, Brig. Gen Bliss, commanding the American border forces, is strength ening the patrol at that point and preparations are being made to care for refugees.
 Under Secretary Garrison's orders troops of either side, if defeated, are privileged to find refuge in Texas. The American forces are facing a serious military problem which may involve not only the disarming Of several thousand troops, but their subsequent internement.
 The only direct news from the west coast of Mexico today came in a telegram from Admiral Cowles, dat ed at Mazatlan vest arday stating that there was no visible sign of an at tack on that city
