The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-06-10

Vermont takes unusual interest IN the
recent order raising Henry /. Mayo IRON
rear admiral to vice admiral OF the At
lantic squadron Of the United States
fleet because Admiral Mayo is YER
monter, having been born IN Burlington,
and having acquaintance over consid-
cradle section of his native state. so 1t
was with considerable pride that Vermont
people heard that he had been promoted
to the higher rank and was in position to
win greater distinction for meritorious
service along with several other distin-
enished Vermonters who have won cred
il and renown in the United States navy.
Vice Admiral Mayo has already won a
large measure of praise for his long serv-
ice with the navy and recently he came
into prominence as commander Of the
United States ships at Vera Cruz during
the temporary occupation of that city by
American marines. Vermonters will
watch his career with confidence.

VERMONT, SUFFERS FROM CATER
PILLAR PEST.

One of the most ugly blots on the beau
tiful landscape of Vermont at this sea
son OF the year is the appearance of tht
denuded apple and cherry trees. stripped
bare of their foliage by the inroads Of
the tent caterpillars and spoiled for thi:
season at least, A drive along the farm
highways in central Vermont will reveal
the terribly devastating work Of this
pest already done; nor is the end yet be-
cause the caterpillars are continuing
their march, eating up the foliage as they
go along. And what is worse, they have
gone beyond the stage in which they can
be stopped with any degree OF success.
We are to be overwhelmed by the inva.
sion; our apple and cherry trees are to
be made non.productivc for the year and
the beauty OF the Vermont hills and
valleys is to be blighted by the denuded

age could have been averted had we been
up and doing in united effort against the

could have been reduced 20 a narrow
compass and the beauty OF the landscape
could have been preserved almost in the
fuIlness Of tie splendid picture and the
fruit OF the trees could have been con.
served. As il Is, the appearance Of the
trees brings reprosch upon us. We are
guilty Of rank negligence. We are sen.

BRYAN's lLL-TIMED STATEMENT

Following his resignation, Bryan pro
ceeded Immediately to embarrass the ad
ministration in Washington by issuing 8
long statement, ostensibly' to give this
reasons for withdrawing from the cab
met, but actually to combat the position
taken by President Wilson. Thereby the
good sense which caused him to leave the
cabinet deserted him and revealed him q
narrow minded individual, ready to ad-
vance himself even at the expense OF a
fellow party man and patriotic American
citizen What do the people OF. the
United States care what Bryan thinks /.
They care nothing at this critical june
ture. And by trying to foist himself be-
fore the public gaze when affairs OF ma
tional concern are foremost, Bryan makes
himself ridiculous. He no longer Is sec.
rotary of state; he is a private citizen of
the privatest sort. His opinion carries
weight merely as that OF any other pri.
vate citizen. II was presumption on his
part to think that it was to have more
weight than the average citizens.
Moreover, the course Of the true pa
triot would have been to keep silent
pending the outcome of the delicate me-
gotiations now under way with Germany
and then, when those negotiations were
completed, ii the barriers could not re-
sist the pressure Of words, il might have
been more seemly for him to issue his
statement But at this time the public
statement was in miserable taste, APP
psrently because Bryan made the mis-
take Of thinking that grave interna
tional crisis was largely a matter Of in.
ternal politics and he had got to play

STIRRING PLEA
FOR GODDARD
Continued from first page.)

class day exercises at Goddard seminary
yesterday afternoon. Departing from til,
usual custom Of using the chapel foI
this important feature of commencement
week, the 1915 class carried out its pro-
gram ON the seminary campus and under
the most propitious weather conditions
A rustic stage arranged in lcafy bower
under the naples on the north side OF
the hall was fronted by an open -air audi.
forum, with the greensward for car
pet and clear blue sky. Over the back
ground OF the stage was suspended the
class motto, ''Vincit qui Sc Vincit," done
in the class colors, purple and gold.
| Four details of boys and girls, each
carrying aloft its class banner, presented
a very charming spectacle as they marched
from the seminary across the campus at
3 o'clock to specially reserved tier of
seats on the green. There was large
gathering OF friends, former students and
alumni who have returned to the hill top
for the commencement festivities and re-
unions. Goddard's fine orchestra OF
young musicians played for the march
ing students and furnished an overture
before the address of welcome was given
by the class president, Lyman w. Whit
comb, who acted as chairman. Causes
|of War" was the title of the Grafton Civ
Ell by Paul r. pitkin of Cabot and it
was easily the most substantial literary
offering of the afternoon. Mr.. Pitkin's
thesis showed the result of careful study
and was delivered with splendid regard
for emphasis.
Tinctured with many quaint references
although possessing serious note that
could not pass unnoticed was the address |
to the seniors by Miss Mamie Tanner of !
Iarshfeld, who brought her address to
an appropriate close by quoting from
Miller's Columbus with its central |
thought sail on, sail on!" Picturing
metaphorically the four years round OF
school life as a mimic military campaign,
Angler Edwards of WilIiamstown gave
spicy review of class history. Along the
same line and bristling, too, with the
same pointed humor was the budget of
class statistics presented by Miss Ina
Gray of East Calais. Miss Grays con,
tribution was distinctly humorous If
wholly local in its applications. The ad
dress to the undergraduates by Paul M.
Stevens of st. Iohnsbury teemed with
sage advice and little warnings. No con-
seientious junior could sit by and listen
without absorbing bits of information
that may be of materiai value next year
