The operation of motor bus service
over the Green mountain range whereby
short-time transportation can be secured
between Bethel on the east side ana
Rutland on the west side, is likely to
prove of advantage to considerable
number of people of Vermont and of
visitors to Vermont during the summer
season. Under the present conditions OF
railroad operation it is an extremely
long and tedious detour which travellers
have to make in order to go from the
the route being either by way of Burling-
ton on the north or Bellows Falls on thu
south. II necessitates, too, consider
able expenditure of money because OF
the large mileage used in the detour.
The over-mountain route by automobile
will reduce both the cost and the time,
which will commend the service to a
large number Of people In addition, the
ride by motor vehicle through a com
paratively wild section of country such
as the Mendon mountain is. will please
many people who are out for change
of scenery and should bring a portion
OF patronage for that reason. But what
ever the amount of the patronage which
the proposed route will receive. il is Ger
tain that no great expenditure win be
necessary TO put the bus line into opera
ton. so no considerable sum Of money /
will be ieopardized. Such operation may
prove in part how successful cross.

tremendously stirred up by the occur

convictions there is grave doubt whether
the United States government is under
solemn obligation to go to war, or even

American people will prefer to learn first

While waiting for the facts in the

the American people would like to have
some definite determination of the ex-
tent to which ship owner may risk his
ship and cargo in hostile sea and then
expect to fall back on the protecting arm
of Uncle Sam if he should happen to be
caught in the act. There is an impress
sion, rather vaguely defined perhaps,
that ship owners are taking desperate
chances and not entirely justified, either,
and are ready to flop back under the pro-
lection of the United States in case of
dire necessity, expecting thereby to in

PROPOSED QUARAN-
TINE FOR CHESTNUT
BARK DISEASE
Public Hearing Announced for May g in
Washington To Discuss Measures
for Checking the Pest.

The chestnut bark disease has become
so serious that in the opinion of the
United States department of agriculture
it is desirable to quarantine New Eng
land, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina,
Iowa, and Nebraska. or such portions
thereof as may be found to be essential.
A public hearing on this question will
be held in Washington at 10 o'clock on
May Is. The proposed quarantine will
restrict the movement from this terri
tory of chestnut nursery stock and chest
nut lumber with the bark on.
The chestnut bark disease is compare
lively recent in this country. Its origin
is not absolutely known but it is be-
lieved that it was brought in Indirectly
from China, where it exists also. In 1905
it was found widely distributed in the
Hudson river valley and in the vicinity
of New York City. 1t is caused by a
fungus which rapidly kills the native
chestnut trees and is spread chiefly by
the distribution of nursery stock. Once
it has been established, however, it is
spread locally by wind, birds and insects.
birds may also carry the dis
ease for long distances.
Since this disease is proving fatal to
the native chestnuts in the infected area,
il is quite probable that their place may
be taken by chestnut orchards grown for
the nuts in areas that have not as vet
been infected and from which it is hoped
that the proposed quarantine will keep
out the infection. At the present time
the natrvs chestnut grows in practically
all Of the territory east of the Missis.

short recitations to the work Of the
child in the various fields, and finally
concluded with song which was COM
posed by the Rev. L. +. Herrick. This
was followed by quotations from the
members present, Miss Tewksbury
speaking briefly on the children and
