CURRENT COMMENT
Vermont's Cancer Fight.

Vermont has begun, this week, de-
termined campaign to do what it can
for the prevention of cancer In Bur
lington whole day was devoted to pub
lie meetings held under the auspices OF
the State Medical associati ton, for the
discussion of the subject, and for consid-
ering combative means. All New Eng
land states are awake to their respon-
sibility TO stop, if possible, the further
spread of a disease which has, unfor-
tunately, been on the increase of late
in this section of the country. Com
missioner Mclaughlin of the Massaehu-
sets state board of health has been ae-
tive here in his attempts to thwart the
disease, and the subject was given ear
nest consideration at this weeks meet
ing Of the State Medical society. YER
mont however. has an especial need to
fight the disease, for the death rate from
cancer is higher than it is in any other
state. In Vermont, it has risen TO I'LL
per hundred thousand of population, or
about four hundred deaths year While
specialists continue in their ardent search
for an effective cure for cancer, the near
er hope seems TO lie in the possibility
of preventing the disease from passing
its incipient stages. According to DIR.
Mclaughlin, the responsibility for max
ing this prevention possible lies much
with the patient: he must be quick to
estimate the first symptoms of the dis
ease at their full seriousness, and hence
TO place his case at once in the hands of
a competent physician. To create this
sense OF individual responsibility wide
Of public education concerning
the disease and its prevention is urgent
" necessary, and it is gratifying to see
what courageous beginning the states
are already making Boston Transcript.

VERMONT PROGRESSIVE IN ATTACK
ON DISEASE.

The degree OF interest manifested BY
the medical profession and the genera
public OF Vermont in the campaign
sgsinst cancer now being conducted
throughout the state by means of elm
ics and public meetings is encouraging
Heretofore the ordinary layman hai
known little or nothing Of the early
symptoms OF the disease and hence ha,
not been warned in time 10 avoid thu
ravsges Of the disease before the per.
Torrance Of an operation; and, in con.
sequence, Nermont's mortality rate from
cancer has been unusually high, much in
contrast TO the low and decreasing rate
Of most other serious diseases. OF course
the medical profession itself knows rela
lively little Of the nature Of the disease,
but long since the knowledge embraced
the positive information that surgical
work is necessary to combat the advance

must be performed in the early stages Of

duced the A. B. G. powers of Latin Amer
lea to come forward with an "offer' OF
mediation. For the last three weeks
the country has received almost daily
assurance from the White House that
the president was not consulting his
secretary of state, even indirectly, re-
garding the governments course in deal
ing with Germany, and we hope the ad-
mirable example there set will be adj
hered to in the governments subsequent
steps. Certainly, however, German di-
plomaacy should not be allowed to delay
for one hour the sending of an Ameri-
can ultimatum, which will define in Ian
guage unmistakable the presidents con-
ception of 'sstrict accountability" and
fix for Germany's compliance with his
demands a time limit commensurate
with the enormity of Germany's crime.
The president has been afforded ample
assurance that the nation is united in
support of the government warning
to Germany last February, of its de-
mands made on May Is, and of its de-
clared intention to call a halt on Ger
man evasion and delay. Offensive as
is every phase of the latest German note,
Americans cannot blind themselves to
the fact that it's most insulting affront-
cry lies in its challenge of the accuracy
of the president of the United States.
The president declared after adequate
investigation of the facts that the Lusi-
tania was an .unarmedn vessel. The
German government retorts with an at
tempted justification of the sinking of
that ship on the ground that the Lusi- |
tania was in reality armed. This is only |
saying in diplomatic language that the
president and the collector of the port |
of New York have misrepresented the
facts. The sooner Germany is given 10

American people is exhausted and that

smile, which intensified this look on
the old lady's face. Throwing up her
hands and her eyes at the same time,
she exclaimed:
'Oh, heavens, how like Harry"

fathers and mothers death, which had
occurred In quick succession, had trac-
ed him To the home and from there to
the people who had adopted him Fear
ing that he would not be given up, the
grandfather employed persons to kid

Mason had no sooner told his story
before he was clasped in bis foster

The next day there was a great
change In the condition of the Cor

Britain's New Ministry.

The one fact that dominates in the
formation of a coalition ministry in
Great Britain is Kitehener's retention OF
his place as war minister. II he is re-
lieyed of the burden of providing mum.
tions all the time he is providing men
his efficiency is increased and his power
as the military chief of the empire en-
larged. He is really given a freer hand
than he had before and the responsibility
Of keeping magazines, caissons and car
fridge boxes filed is thrown upon his
critics. The minister of munitions, Lloyd
George, must do better than Kitchener
has done or stand condemned as his in
ferior. Lloyd George lacks not in energy,
but he i tactless and often lets his
tongue run away with him, as he did
when he stirred up the working classes
by accusing them Of drinking 10 an ex-
tent that impaired their efficiency as
munition makers. He will be dependent
in bis new Office on the very class he has
bersted. but probably Henderson, the La
borite member of the ministry, win help
him out.
