NO CAUSE FOR ACTION
Complaint Against the Associated
Press Is Disposed OF.

Washington. March 17.-Attorney
General Gregory has written a letter
addressed to James M. Back, counsel
for the Sun association, disposing of
the complaint against the Associated
Press for alleged violation of the fed
eraI antitrust act made by the New
York Sun Printing & Publishing as
ISOLATION.
The attorney generals letter, dated
March II, makes known that there is
no ground for action by the federal
authorities against the Associated
Press under the antitrust act.
The attorney generals letter is the
result of a petition filed on February
8, 1914, by the Sun Printing & Pub
fishing association, asking the attor-
ney general to make an investigation
and then to institute proceedings
against the Associated Press.
The chief point of interest in the at
torney generals letter is his statement
as to the right of a group of newspa-
perS to form an association under
given conditions.
t'This, of course, is not to say that
such an association might not develop
into an unlawful monopoly" the at
torney generals letter says. The facts
adduced, however, in my opinion, do
not show that that has happened in
the case of the Associated Press"

For thirty-five years he continued in

'It is too bad that more employees

CURRENT COMMENT
Diagnosing Smallpox.

The Barre Times very sensibly sug.
gests that clinic or two on smallpox
might serve the state of Vermont to good
advantage. The st. Adams Messenger
after admitting that smallpox is not al
ways easily to be recognized, says that
''its recognition at the very start is so
important that the services of the state
authorities should be called in at once il
there is any doubt whatever" No doubt
exists but that the laity is too quick to
question or scout the opinion of medical
men in a smallpox scare; instances of
this sort have not been wanting in Wa
terbury; there is, however, reason to be-
lieve that in certain parts OF the state
competent diagnosticians have eontribut-
ed to unnecessary alarm and confusion
in cases where their professional standing
and reputation should have negatived
that possibility. This fact should be
considered at its true value and should
not be made the basis of a sweeping
criticism of the medical profession as a
whole, according to a too common prac-
tiee of the unthinking Waterbury Rec
ord.

That there may be a field for the in
ventive genius that is being collected fol
the purpose of the betterment of thu
army and navy of the United States i:
plainly indicated by the advance which
the Germans have made in equipment
and paraphernalia of war, which advance
gave them the advantage in the first year
of the present great war. 1t is now re-
ported that the Germans have perfected
a machine which feeds the shells to the
big guns so that human beings are not
required to be near the weapons as they
hurl their missiles, thus saving the men
from the harmful effects of the detona-
ton as well as protecting them from the
weapons Of the enemy. The feeder is
said to be somewhat in the form of an
escalstor, taking the shells to the guns
in steady movement. As the guns grow
in size and projecting strength the value
of these mechanical appliances becomes
more and more apparent.
