AN ANNUAL PEST OF VERMONT
RETURNS,

Those wandering bands of people, seem
ingly sprnging from nowhere, soiourn-
ing temporarily until they make a real
nuisance of themselves and disappearing
under a cloud of malodorous deeds, are
with us again. The gypsies are here in
Vermont. For the next few months they
will live on us and flaunt their defiance
in our faces If we do not resolve forth
with TO deal summarily with them and
then put our resolves into action. The
first band has left a trail of disguised
and more or less distraught residents on
the western side of the state as the band
has wended its way southwark. At one
place a female of the species was com

LET DEEDS speak,

We have received another pamphlet
bearing the imperial German insignia;
we have received several of them; and
we are a regular recipient of journal
which is devoted to the policy of arguing
the German cause with respect to the war
now being fought. From the other side
OF the conflict we have received practi-
cally nothing, barring the report of the
official British commission anent the al
legged German atrocities in Belgium at
the outbreak of the war. The query
therefore arises: Why is IL necessary
that the German cause should have such
persistent defenders in the United States {.
The inference cannot be otherwise than
that the German nation feels the need of
the bolstering which such publications
might give, for the American people prior
to the incidents which led up to the out
break Of the war were as well disposed
to the Germans as TO the British as ma
tions. except possibly in those scattered
sections where there had been a prepond

progress in all those things which 20 n

day. just as they looked upon Great Brit.

fact that the United States and Great
Britain had a common language. while
the United States and Germany spoke a

Vermont's Enviable Position.

Called forth by a recent widely cir.
culated report to the effect that Vermont
has the highest death rate from cancer OF
any state in the union, the statement of
Secretary Charles f. Dalton of the state
board of health goes long way toward
demonstrating that with respect to near
~ all other ills that man is heir to the
Green Mountain commonwealth is veri-
table sanitarium. Its record in the COM
batting of the preventable diseases is one
to be proud of, and DIR. Dalton has done
well TO call attention TO few facts and
figures that might not otherwise have be-
come known either in New England or
in the country at large. Vermont has
the lowest death rate in typhoid fever,
while diphtheria. pneumonia and tuber-
culosis are yielding to science in Yer
mont more rapidly than in any other
state. Vermont is setting the pace for
the country in the study of infantile
paralysis, while some OF the nota BILE tri-
umphs its medical men have accomplished
have been in the direction of saving the
lives of babies. As for cancer, DIR. Dial.
ton might have called attention to the
fact that this is disease of old ag. :,
and that its prevalence in Vermont to
such marked degree is due rather to
the longevity of Vermont people than
to any conditions peculiar to that state,
for not in Vermont only is cancer on
the increase. 1t is increasing generally
in the United States.--Boston Transcript.

TAKING TO THE SMALL BOATS.

The discovery of large lifeboat con
tanning only five bodies of Lusitania vic
tins is mute evidence that someone may
have blundered in launching the boat
with so few occupants. The life boats OF
the size carried by the Lusitanla were
capable of carrying six or eight times
that number of people, and thus it is as
sumed that from score to score and
half Of people were deprived OF an op.
pcrtunity to escape, presumably by the
too quick release of the boat, although
there is, of course, a possibility that the
boat was one of those partially wrecked
in striking the water as the Lusitania
was still making considerable speed from
its own momentum. Whatever the cause
of the release of the boat with so few
occupants, the relevation is very unsatis-
factory in view of the fact that hundreds
OF people were struggling in the water
for inst such chance as the life boat
might have afforded them. There l. the
possibility that the boat was one of
those launched early and was left far
astern when the Lusitania carried down
the hundreds who remained aboard her
without means to get off, so that the
boat was outside the swimming zone OF
the person unaecustomed to sea water
and hampered by clothing as were the
victims. Judging from this, the feat Of
hasty departure from a disabled ship has
not been mastered, either through human
defects or defects of mechanism

That the scattered efforts to destroy
the egg clusters of the tent caterpillar did
not prove completely effective,i us indicat-
ed by the large number OF the nests OF
the pest that are to be noted in many
sections of eastern Vermont. in the vi
entity of Barre there are many OF these
nests; and no time should be lost in COM
pleting the work of destruction. The
nests should be burned at once before
the caterpiIlsrs have developed to the
stage in which they are able to leave the
shelter of the nests. Every farmer anu
every property holder and every resident
whose premises contain trees should make
inspection of those trees to determine If
there are any aecumulations OF the pest,

be possible materially to check the
spread of this disease where it is most
apt to be found. The creation of a
fund by voluntary subscription solves the
problem of expense, and will enable a
patient to leave his work for treatment
with his mind at rest, for one of the
most important features is the provision
that will be made in such cases for de-
pendent families. 1t is to be hoped that
the movement thus about to be launched
at Springfield will be initiated through
out the state.--Boston Transcript.
