President Wilson has penchant fol
putting out "feelers," 50 to speak, to de,
termine the public sentiment throughout
the country as regards prospective
move. For instance, from the White
House comes the announcement that the
president is not decided about calling an
extra session OF Congress late in the fall
Few people expected that he would call a
special session and few, let it be stated,
cared whether he would or would MT
call it, preferring perhaps that he would
not So it was entirely unexpected that
he should come out with this "feeler" to
test the sentiment Of the country; but,
although taken unawares, the people un
doubtedly would express to the presi-
dent their conviction that special sea-
sion should not be called unless contigen-
cies much greater than now apparent
should be developed.

The suggestion OF Harold r. Bailey
assistant in charge Of insect suppression
Of the state department Of agriculture
that steps to kill the tent caterpillar
pest should be taken at once is referred
to the general public Of Vermont, with
the earnest plea that the advice be tax
en- up with. Mr.. Bailey asserts that the
eggs, in the shape of ring-like masses,
are to be found on apple and wild cherry
trees at the present time and that the
destruction of each one of these masses
means the wiping out Of 200 caterpillars.
When the pest is so easily eliminated.
there ought to be no surcease from the
labor until all the egg accumulatiols
within ones sphere of activity have been
destroyed. If we desire to be free from
real scourge the coming summer, there
is no time to delay operations. The ex.
perience of the past few summers with
this Instructor of tree life all through
Vermont and other parts of New Eng
land should prompt MS to prosecute this
work most vigorously,

AN UNSATISFACTORY FEATURE OF

The discovery that three youths who

by that school together with Others in
Massachusetts, will have tendency %

reply to the American note concerning
contraband probably will be sent be-
fore the end of this week. 1t is
thought the answer will be friendly.
An outline Of the reply has been sub
mitted to France, which is greatly in
terested because of the activity Of the
French ships in searching Mediterra-
mean cargoes.
A statement probably will be issued
shortly, showing that Italy has arrived
at an understanding with England and
the other allies concerning contraband
satisfactory to all the countries affect
ed.
II can be stated authoritstively that
only five cargoes destined for Italy
have been stopped at Gibraltar since
November 10. Two Of these were re-
leased within three days and the others
as soon as the alleged contraband could
be removed.
Since December 4 no cargoes for
Italy have been intercepted by the
allies.
Rubber cargoes destined for Ameri-
can firms and held in English ports
probably will be released soon or pur-
chased by Great Britain, which needs
rubber for manufacture of tires, bed
blankets and boots.
