In the conflict on land and sea In Eu-
rope Is outlined in a letter written
last Wednesday asking Mr.. Edison
whether, as "a patriotic service to his
country. he would undertake the task
Of advising the proposed bureau The
plan is 20 have several men proml-

Edison Accepts Promptly.
In announcing tonight that he
would gladly accept Secretary Dan
iels' invitation, Mr. Edison said ne
believed the proposal SO important
that it should be attended to now at
a time when the war In Europe was
bringing before the public the import
ance of encouraging the developing
ideas and inventions of Americans
especially officers and men of the
army and navy
THE United states is far behind in
these matters said Mr. Edison. i
believe it is highly important for a
board Of civilians made up Of enel-
necrs from the leading Industries, To
be formed for the purpose of looking
into the feasibility Of IDEAS developed
By young men While all ideas that
will be submitted may not be feasible.
at least they viii have the benefit Of
expert judgment and advice.
I'm addition to the advisory board
of engineers would also suggest q

would be nominal only a few acres
Of land would be required with prop
er buildings and corps Of efficient
men calculated 10 carry out expert
ments under direction Of those sug-
gestng them after they have been APP
proved.
1T is an important matter and
should be put under way az once.
Tho E,urqueau war has served to draw
attention TO the fact that many Ameri-

allowed TO slip by and II this matter
Is put Off until the war Is over there
Is danger Of it being forgotten"

ROAD BUILDING DISCUSSED.
Conference at Montpelier To-day Attend
ed by rs People.

A conference of Washington county
road builders was held Mt the city hall
in Montpelier to-day. Governor Gates
was present and he spoke at some
length on the keeping up of roads. and
he was followed by State Highway Com
missioner Bates, who talked on "Road
Maintenance" After Commissioner Bates
had concluded his talk, an opportunity
was given to the rs men present to
shake hands with Governor Gates.
At noon the Montpelier Board of Trade
served luncheon in the city hall and cally
this afternoon the conference was re-
sumed, with an address by County Su
pervisor j. l.. Davis of Bennington coun-
ty, who spoke particularly with regard
to cement work on highways. 1t is the
idea OF the highway department that con-
siderable money is lost in cement work
and it is the purpose to make that part
OF road building better known. Super
visor Davis was followed by County Su-
pervisor r. S. Currier of Washington
county and by NJ. O. Flanders, supervisor
for Orange county.

Promin ent Massachusetts
Man Ill Less Than
a Week
WAS AMBASSADOR
TO RUSSIA RECENTLY
Half an Hour Before End,
the Patient Lapsed into
Unconsciousness

Boston, April 6-Curtis Guild, former
governor of Massachusetts, and former
ambassador to Russia, died early to-day
of pneumonia, resulting from cold con-
tracted less than week ago. The end
was peaceful, Mr.. Guild having been un-
conscious for half an hour.
This was the second attack he had had
from the disease, from which he made
a remarkable recovery in 1908, after hope
was almost abandoned. Later the same
year he was operated on for appendicitis.
Among those who called to inquire
for Mr. Guild yesterday was former Pres
ident Taft, who appointed Guild as spe-
cial ambassador to Mexico on the occa-
sion OF the centennial celebration of that
republic in 1910. and a year later sent
him as ambassador to Russia.
Curtis Guid was born in Boston Feb
9. 1860, the son of Curtis and Sarah C..
Guild. He was graduated from Harvard
college with highest honors in 1881.
After graduation, he made tour of
Europe and then entered the Office of The
Commercial Bulletin, which was founded
by his father. The young man went
AupaNitito III NNh'tNNNi'tA
with that journal, finally becoming edi-
tor and later sole owner.
Mr.. Guilds entry into political life
was in 1896, when he was delegate-at-
large and ce-president of the Repub-
lican national convention. Since then, he
had been a prominent speaker in behalf
of the Republican party through New
England, the central West and the south
ern states. At the outbreak of the
Spanish. American war, he was with the
Massachusetts, militia, and he served
until the 9TH corps broke up in Cuba.
In 1900 he was the companion of Theo-
dore Roosevelt in a speaking tour of the
West, and two years later he became
governor of Massachusetts,.
He served three years in that position
and then three years as governor of the
state. He then served as ambassador
10 Russia. Mr.. Guild was prominent in
many organizations in Massachusetts,.

be sent the bill 20 the selectmen Of Sea-
brook, who practically ignored the doc

county should stand the expense. Judge
Young Of the superior court was then
called into the case, and be went 10 the
jail where be talked with Randall and
then gave tlle sheriff an order 20 release
him. he was discharged on Dee. -. 1914

u. S. DENIES RIGHT
OF ALLIES EMBARGO
Official Notification Sent to Great Britain
and Also to France Said to Admit
1t Would Be to Assume Atti-
tude of Neutrality.

Washington, ID. c., April 6.-The Unit
ed States government yesterday made
public its note to Great Britain announc-
ing that "it could not admit" either the
| right of the allies or their claims for
justification in placing an embargo on
jail commercial intercourse between Ger
many and neutral countries.
TO admit it," says the communica-
ton, would be TO assume an attitude
of unneutrality toward the present enc
mics of Great Britain. which would be
obviously inconsistent with the solemn
obligations of this government in the
present circumstances and for Great
Britain to make such claim would be
for her to abandon and set at naught
the principles for which she has con-
sistently and earnestly contended in
other times and circumstances"
The note reviews at length the legal
phases of a blockade 'belligerent ter
ritory and virtual blockade OF neutral
coasts. In conclusion the United
States states its expectation that Great
Britain after having considered "the pos
sibilities of serious interruption of Amer
lean trade under the order in council,
"wilI take the steps necessary to avoid
them, and in the event that they should
nnhappily occur, win be prepared to make
full reparation for every act which un-
der the rules of international law con-
stitutes violation OF neutral rights"
The American communication inter-
prets the circumstances under which
Great Britain claims to be justified in
adopting retaliatory measures toward
her enemies as merely reason for cer-
tain extraordinary activities" by her
naval forces "and not an excuse for or
a prelude to any unlawful action"
IF the course OF the present enemies
of Great Britain" the note adds, SHOULD
prove to be- in fact tainted by illegality
and disregard OF the principles of war
sanctioned by enlightened nations, it can
not be supposed and this government
does not for moment suppose that His
Ma aiesty's government would wish the
same faint to attach TO their own ac-
tons"
Ambassador Sharp at Paris was in
strueted TO present copy Of the Ameri-
can note TO Great Britain to the French
foreign office with the statement that |
although the French admiralty decree
had not been officially received in Wash
ngton. il was understood here TO be |
identical with the British order in coun-
ii and the American government there
Iore made similar reply.
