PUBLICITY FOR VERMONT.
DR.. Paris of Green Mountain Club
Sends Out Booklet.

BURLINGTON, April 9. - The state
of Vermont will the coming season re-
ceive a generous amount of publicity
through the efforts of the Green
Mountain club Of which Dr. Louis J.
Paris of this city is chairman of the
membership committee.
While the publicity, in the form OF
a 16-page booklet, is designed to ex-
ploit the attractions of the Long Trail
along the Green Mountain range it is
bound to attract to the state summer
visitors who will find recreation in
many other ways than tramping the
trail along the skyline of Vermont.
1t is through DIR. Paris S efforts that
the booklet in an edition of 62, 800 will
be distributed outside the state. He
has interested the railroads to some
extent in the advisability of assisting
in this line of publicity and is now en-
deavoring to create a livelier interest
in Vermont scenic attractions among
hotel proprietors who would be par
ticularly benefited through increased
summer tourist business.
The cost of printing and circulating
the booklet is borne by members of
the Green Mountain club.

MAY DECLARE WAR
ON NETHERLANDS
Persistent Rumors in London That Ter
ritory Near Belgian Frontier Has
Been Occupied.

LONDON, April 9. There were
persistent rumors in London last night
that Germany had either declared war
on Holland or that her troops had oc-
cupied that strip of Dutch territory
which extends from the Belgian from
tier on the coast to the River Scheldt
The reports lack confirmation and are
not credited by those who should know
if either action had been taken.
1t is possible that the reports arose
from the news received in the last
few days from Dutch sources that the
Germans were strengthening their
positions around the Dutch frontier
and that much uneasiness prevailed
at The Hague and other Dutch cities
as result of the seizure or sinking
of Dutch steamers by German sub
marines.
The Dutch are strongly opposed to
intervention in the war, but their
army is ready to repel any invasion
of Dutch territory, complete prepara-
tions with that object having been
made long ago.
Another diplomatic report which
has created immense interest is that
from Rome to the effect that Austria
is seeking separate peace with Rus

tion and is not credited, as it is not
considered likely that Germany would

Of Austria s loyalty to her ally
Italy takes the matter more Sc
riously than the other nations, for
should it prove to be true it would
end her hopes of gaining territorial
accession from Austria. However, the
stubborn way in which Austria is re-
sisting the Russian advance in the
Carpathians seems to contradict the
suggestion that she IS ready to seek
( peace at Russia 5 terms.

TRYING TO BREAK
GERMAN WEDGE
Fierce Fighting in Progress Between the Meuse

Have Made important Gains italian Troops

On both the western and eastern fronts

affect the future course of the war.
In the French territory between the
AIeuse and the Moselle the allies are at

The Paris war Office claims a large
amount of ground has been won, but
Berlin contradicts this
The loss of life is probably heavier than
that of any other engagement in the
west since the battle Of Seasons.
In the east the struggle is being carried
on furiousIy along the Carpathian front.
Particular Importance attaches to the
fighting in the Besllids, over which the
Russians are attempting to force their
way into Hungary.
Although it is said in Petrograd that
the Austrian army has been cut in two
and that the Russians now have a clear
road to Hungary, Vienna insists that eff
fective resistance is being offered.
Italy continues rapidly her military
preparations, but no decision has been
reached to participate in the war.
1t is reported in Geneva that Italy IS
withdrawing railroad equipment from the
Swiss frontier for the movement of troops
to territory adjoining the Austrian Tyrol,
where border fortresscs have been gar
risoned and equipped.
