STATE NEWS

The labor trouble existing in Barre
and Montpelier and vicinity remains
practically the same as a month ago
and hope of settlement grows less
each day The granite quarry owners,
unable to reach any agreement with
the engineers or other quarry workers,
have decided to stop pumping and
pull the fires" which means that the
foremen in the various quarries will
have to suspend work. This action
may be deemed significant, when it is
known that few days without pump
ing will allow the quarries to become
filled with water, and in the event of
a settlement work could not be started
for some time.

NEXT SEASONS DANCES

We have gone to the trouble of in
venting a few dances which we recon-
mend to the Dancing Masters Asso-

onstrate to anybody who wishes to see
them. Some of the more prominent
dances invented by US and recommend
ed for the smart set Of polite society
are the following:
The angleworm glide.
The spinal meningitis schottische.
The wildcat whirl.
The hippopotamus hitch.
The delirium tremens two-step.
The tarantula twist.
The st. Vitus valse.

THE DAY OF RECKON
ING HAS COME

The legislative history Of two years
OF Democratic rule was completed
March 4. Those two years have beer
marked by one Of the most active per.
iods Of law making this country has
ever seen. With House ready ane
able to execute his DEGREES down tc
the last word and with a working ma
jority in the Senate, President Wilson
took the oath of Office March 4, 1918
With prophetic eagerness he summon
ed Congress in extra session month
later. With the exception Of six weeks
of respite last fall the party machin-
cry has been in operation ever since
grinding out experimental laws that
affect every phase of our social and
commercial life.
What does study of that record
show?
1t discloses the fact that during that
time the Democratic Congress has en-
acted and the Democratic President
has signed more crude, imperfect and
nugatory laws than ever were written
during the same length of time by any
American Congress. 1t furnishes an
indictment Of haste and lack of legis-
lative intelligence that is bound to be
humiliating to the party responsible.
That there has been tremendous
quantity of legislation cannot be de-
MED. More than four hundred public
laws have been placed upon the statute
books by the Democrats since they
came into power. These are designat-
ed public" because they appropriate
money for general purposes or affect
general law. In addition to these,
hundreds of private bills have been
passed.
Those who have closely observed the
methods of legislation used by the
Democratic majority are not surprised
at the faulty results. The present adj
ministration has been admittedly not
able, even notorious, for it's steam roll
err short cuts in enacting laws. Every
important bill passed has been put
through with small consideration be-
yond that of party expedience. AS
soon as the President proposed law,
then the caucus approved it, the ma
jority rushed it through committees
and back to the President for his sig
nature,-all with as little debate as
possible, and under iron clad special
rules that permitted no chance for in
telligent consideration or amendment.
1t is conceivable that few bills
might be put through a legislative
body in this way and emerge in per-
feet form. But to use such methods |
Unfortunately, as the Democratic
Congress has done, is practically to
insure the enactment of laws which |
future Congresses must either repeal
or spend many weeks to amend. This
is the task which Democratic haste
and lustful use of a powerful majority
has created for future Congresses.
Specific examples of laundering will
not be enumerated in this article. 1t
is enough at present to make the gen
eral statement that the Democratic
party has "sown a wind Of legislation
and is reaping whirlwind of mis-
takes" Future articles will appear
that will show in detail the various
instances Of laundering, careless
irafting of bills that finally went on
he statute books without correction.

AMERICAN SUBMARINES
EQUAL THOSE ABROAD
Schley Will Have 1000 Tons Dis
placement and a Speed of
Is Knots.

Quality and power of submarines
constructed by the United States in
comparison with some of those that
have done effective work in the Euro
pean war is in favor of this country,
according to marine engineers and
scientists.
The United States submarine C-1. one
of the oldest and slowest underwater
fighters of the American navy now
in commission, is an exact duplicate OF
the Austrian submarine which sank the
Italian cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi last
Sunday in the Adriatic sea. The C-1
has cruising radius of less than 1000
miles. The latest types of submarines
with oil engines designed for the
American navy are to have a radius of
more than 5000 miles.
The C-1 engines develop approx
mately 500 horsepower. with speed
of ten and a-half knote on the sur
face and ten knots submerged The big
cruiser submarine Schley, now under
construction for the navy, is to have
eight times this horsepower, and is to
develop a speed of twenty-five knots
on the surface. The displacement is to
be 1000 tons, three times the size of
the C-1.
The Austrian submarine was built
under Holland patents, but the engine
and other parts were constructed in
ped to Austria to be installed. A sis
ter ship recently sank an italian trans
port.
The C-1 was commissioned in 1908,
Is now in service at Panama and has
gasoline engines for surface operation.

BRITISH STUBBORNESs
N AID TO GERMANS
Englishmen Hold Trenches to Last
Man, French Yield Ground
Then Retake It.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 10.-The British stick
to their trenches to the last man, hence
their heavy casualties. The French. the
Germans and Belgians have no sentiment
about yielding ground, if to their military
advantage to do so especially when they
can draw the enemy on to marked ranges
But the tradition of sticking it out to the
last, born Of the days when man was
pitted against man, instead Of man against
machine. is SO strong in the British army
that one Of the most important lessons
of the war has yet to be learned by it.
These are the observations of a
Canadian surgeon who has worked on the
three allied fronts in Flanders and made
a close study of the different fighting
methods.
According to his account, the French
and Germans. unlike the British, lay no
stress on holding their front line Of
trenches. In case Of an attack they with
mea sured range. the enemy in taking the
first line gets into wasp's nest. The
French, with marvellous accuracy, pour
into them both shrapnel and high ex-
plosive shells from their famous seventy
five field guns When they assume the
offensive and capture a German trench
they protect their men with a curtain of
fire as long as possible but if its occupa-
ton seems likely to prove too expensive
they withdraw, measuring the ground as
best they can in their retreat in order
to correct the aim Of their batteries.
Somewhat the same tactics are fol-
lowed by the Germans. who, however, use
machine guns instead of field cannon.
But the British hold on to their front
trench when attacked, and onto the cap
tured trench when attacking, with a
courage unexcelled in history But they
act with more courage than intelligence,
since they play into the hands Of the
Germans by their very stubborness
British losses have almost all been due
to an effort to stick it out to the last
man, when the French would have re-
treated. shelled out the foe and made a
fresh attack. This is the French policy
of attrition. 1t enables them to assume
the offensive at will and to keep up a con-
slant and wearing action. while the
British make their fight and then remain
as they are for long periods of inaction.

DUTCH STUDENTS WANT
NO MILITARY EXEMPTION
Protest Law Which Releases Theo-
logians From Patriotic Serv-
ice In the Army.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.


LEYDEN. Netherlands. July 1o-The-
illogical students at Leyden University,
the most ancient seat of learning in Hol-
land, object to their omission from the
suggested scheme of exercising all the
manhood of the Dutch nation as a pre-
cautionary measure in case the Lowla nds
should be called upon to defend their ter
ritory An address from these students
recently called the attention of the sec
ond chamber of the Dutch parliament to
this feeling among them. Since then the
newspapers have printed dozens of let
ters from clergymen Of various denomina-
tions expressing similar views and declar-
ing that it would be casting a slur on
them If they were to continue to be re-
leased by law from fulfilling their duties
as patriotic citizens at a time when their
country needed them.
The Dutch theological students were
probably moved to make their appeal for
incorporation in the army by the reports
of activities Of priests and pastors now
serving with the various armies engaged
in the world war. In France, for in
stance, there are over 10000 Catholic
clergymen, including several bishops, as
well as many Protestant ministers and
Jewish rabbis, serving in the ranks as
active soldiers, beside large numbers en-
gagged as chaplains and Red Cross work
ers. In Italy $4,000 priests are in the
ranks; in Germany numbers Of clergy
men have taken service, while in the
British Isles hundreds Of clergymen have
voluntarily enlisted in the new armies Of
Lord Kitchener and recently a decision
was reached by the Church of England
authorities not to ordain during the war
any clerical students who were physically
fit and of the prescribed age for military
service.
Students of Leyden have ample pre-
cedents for their military ardor in the
history of their old university town. The
university itself was founded in 1875 as
a reward for the courage and military
skill Of the citizens in defending the town
against the Spaniards. The students also
have alway before their eyes the Latin
Inscription over the 1858 gate leading to
the twelfth century castle and which says.
IT fight for the fatherland." The ad-
venturous spirit Of the old Pnritans who
lived in the town is immortaliZed by the
memorial stone on the front of the house
occupied by the Rev. John Robinson, the
pastor of the English Pilgrim Fathers,
which records the fact that: "On this
spot lived. taught and died Robinson.
1611-1625."
The question OF calling upon ministers
to perform military duties brought into
public discussion by the petition of the
Leyden students has evoked the express
sion of widely divergent views. Some
clergymen argue they would be Of more
service in their parishes in case of a
general call to arms. as there they could
give advice and comfort to the people
while the modified soldiers were sepa-
rated from their families, whereas in the
ranks each clergyman would be simply
another man with rifle.
