THAT GINGER CAKE!
Mobilize the Commands 10 Meet
This Crisis.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: You
have given a good deal of space to Mr..
Bryan and his platform of peace, pro-
b%ibitiDn, piety and populism.
To this, as one of your most constant
readers. | do not object. ] 10 not care
for movies and find great pleasure in
Mr.. Bryan. But / can stand 1t II you
will reduce a little the space devoted
to our ancient prophet and give room
for a word on Nermont's most impor-
tant coming event. the seventeen annual
fair of the Windsor County Agricultural
Society. to be held at Woodstock. VT,
September Z, 3 and 0 next.
1t Is not the fair itself for which I
want to have room to mention in TIL
SUN, II Is the work of the special COM
mittee on the Improvement, betterment
and qualification Of the SEVENTEEN an
nual fair. whose secretary is Miss Edith
McCausland of Ma pie wood Farm, on the
edge of Woodstock.
1t is not the work OF this committee
in general that T wish TO hint at, In the
space which nigh, otherwise be given
10 Mr.. Bryan. though that general work
OF Keeping the fair grounds beautifully
clean, raising many shining banners on
lofty white poles. ~rearrang,ng and IL
Eliminating the exhibits in Floral Hall.
Is. Of course. worthy all this and calls
for hearty congratulations and sugges-
tons and offers OF cooperation from all
Nermonters the world over.
What 1 am writing you about now Is
the five cent ginger cake OF the county
fair OF fifty years ago. This ginger cake
was large. ] should say at least 8 by =
inches. though my ~boyhood impression
OF Its size makes II seem at least 8 by
~. 1t was dark brown. slightly shiny
on the top, and the top was moderately
corrugated. II rose in magnificent piles
on more than n counter at refresh
ment tents. 1t held It's place as a county
fair institution for many years but, Mr..
Editor, II has disappeared, and the recipe
for the construction thereof with IL.
The special committee on the improve
ment. betterment and identification of
the Windsor County Fair wishes to learn
how this ancient form of human food
was composed. II you do not know will
you ask your readers to tell you?

Saloniki was not founded on any
such distressing emergency. II was
based entirely upon the ground OF
political and military opportunity.
"As we were forced to enter Bel
GUM, we repeated to the Belgian gov
ernment most literally our intention
to spare that country the horrors OF
war. But owing to secret alliance
between Belgium and England and
France. since discovered in the Bel
Igian archives, Germany was compell-
ed to change her policy.
1T has not been announced wheth-
er the entente powers made similar
guarantees for the security Of Greece
which Germany made for Belgium.
II appears, however, that such was
not the case. Instead. England and
France violated Greek neutrality In
a most brutal manner. Therefore,
this explains the articles In French
and English newspapers which
threatened the new Greek govern
ment. formed after the resignation

country was asked to offer tho coun-

MASON TELLS WHAT
y WAR MOVES MEAN

New York. Oct, IA sudden
mystery has developed In the Balkan
situation, through Premier viviants
announcement In the chamber OF de-
puties that the Russians soon will be
fighting alongside their French and
British comrades In the Balkans.
1t is difficult to see how the Slavs
can send troops there. but II viviani's
statement was made seriously and Is
more than pious wish. then a dram
ATTIC change may occur momentarily
In southeastern Europe. It must be
assumed. at least. that Russia has
given the allies assurance OF her In
tention to attack Bulgaria.
I The only ways open to Russia for
sending forces to Bulgaria are by
transports across the Black sea and
by marching through Roumania. II
is very improbable that the sea route
viii be chosen. as the danger OF at
tack from Turkish warships is seri-
GUS. II the transports are considered
safe. Il is difficult TO understand why
Russian forces have not been landed
In European Turkey for an attack on
Constantinople.
The more probable Interpretation
OF viviani's announcement Is that
Russia has obtained the consent Of
Roumania for the passage Of Russian
troops through Roumania. An ex-
pedition through Roumania. however.
would run serious risks Of having It's
communications cut. But the Austro-
Germans must concentrate far more
than ever now in eastern Galicia. for
the Russian offensive there may be
for the purpose Of protecting flank
Roumanian expedition.

statesmen and English public opinion
have changed over Belgian neutrality.
II read recently dispatch from
former Ambassador Hatzfeldt at Lon
don, dated February 4, 1887. The
ambassador reported that an anony-
nous letter was printed In the Stand
ard In which II was pointed out that
although England had taken over the
guarantee OF Belgian neutrality, yet
circumstances had changed and that
II lay to the interests Of English
politicians to grant Germany, II me-
cessary. the right to pass through
Belgium, provided Germany did not
touch Belgian integrity after the war.
"The Standard, then known as the
conservative party organ, shared this
viewpoint in It's leading editorial.
THE Pail Mall Gazette. the same
day. designated the assertion OF the
Standard as an invitation to Germany
In tho case OF military necessity not
to regard Belgian neutrality; that for
England, above all, there existed no
obligation to intercede for Belgian
neutrality.
