that Horn should be considered as within
the scope of international law.
He quoted in support Of his contention
a decision in reference ~ the robbing of a

man claiming to be a lieutenant in the
Confederate army The Canadian com
mission before whom the man was taken
for extradition refused to grant it on the
ground that it was the act Of a belligerent
Horn he said, was belligerent in a neu-
trail country, who had made an expedition
into Canada The alleged transportation
was an inseparabIe part of that expedition

the allies offensive in the west have, ac-
cording to British observers, put Germany
in a position where she dare not shift any
substantial force from either the east or
the west
1t is pointed ont that the plan of deliv

rushing across the country to the other
has miscarried on both fronts.
Considerable mystery surrounds the next
move of the Germans, although the pre-
vailing belief is that it will be a big often
sive movement in the west, probably
against the British front.
Great Britain has as yet made no off

STYLES OF A NEW SEASON.
Charming Array of Spring Goods at

Although a high standard has been
established in the past, this year S
Spring opening" is well ahead of its
predecessors. This store, by the way,
is one of the comparatively few to re-
tain the custom of introducing its
stocks through "Spring opening''
Throughout the store are evidences
of the changing season. Winter wear
and winter styles and designs give way
to the more colorful garments of the
open season. Everything is crispy new,
fresh and clean, and a delight to the
eye. The store has never brought in
more desirable stocks than these. All
departments have been supplied with
! the spring goods and everything is in
readiness for the wise shopper who be-
gins her purchasing for the season in
/ advance of the throng.
Never has this store shown such q
collection of suits, coats, skirts and
dresses, and glancing over this array
we do not hesitate to say that it is the
most attractive to be seen in Brattle
boro.

Noting in The Reformer a state
ment that Tax Commissioner c. \
Plumley told the listers of the county
at their meeting Tuesday that all
power transmission lines were taxable,
a representative of the Connecticut
River Power Co. says the implication
seems TO be that the power transmits
sion lines have not heretofore been
taxed, and that the state tax commits
sioner was giving news to the listers
. AS q matter of fact. he says. Il be
heve our company is already the
heaviest taxpayer in the town of GmI-
ford by reason of cur transmission
line crossing a corner of that town,
and has been for the last two or
three years. 1t is, too, the heaviest
tax payer in the town of Vernon, all
our transmission lines being taxed
'There has never been any claim
on our part that the transmission lines
were not taxable, except that where
we own the real estate in fee on which
the transmission lines are located We
claim the lines are not separable from
