Now that this government has taken
up the cudgels in behalf Of the neutral
powers on the ground that it is the
largest power, it can be asked to do Il
great many things. Belgium now lays
before the state department a protest
against seizure of merchandise worth
ST., 100000 by German military au-
thorities in Belgium. The protest sets
forth that the goods We're not taken
for the use of the German army and
that consequently the seizure was in
violation of the fourth Hague conven-
ton. The merchandise included cot
ton, rubber, tool machines, canned
goods, and metal. These measures are

achieved this, but it is only the begin

| Walking down Main street the other
day The Meddler was struck by the ambi-
guilty of the sign board recently erected
10y the town authorities ON the site of the
old Brattleboro House. On the left side
of the oval board, above and below hand
pointing eastward, are the words Hinsdale
and Guilford On the right side are the
words keene, Bernardston and Greenfield
with hand pointing westward between
the first two. By what mental process
stranger could gain the impression that
Hinsdale and Guilford were in opposite
directions is extremely difficult to imagine.
Likewise it would be hard to figure out
how anyone could think from reading the
board that it directed him to turn to the
left to get to Keene. On the same post is
| another board pointing down Vernon
. street as the route to Vernon and North

The action taken at the special town

wise one. The passage of the resolutions
offered by Mr.. Crosby gives the selectmen
authority to acquire at once a strip of
land on the south side of Flat street, part
Of which was cleared of buildings by the
fire of last fall, and in effect serves notice
on other property owners in that locality

Dear Miss Libbey: :

Dear Miss Iibbey:-
 I am 26 years old, married, going on three months. Before we wed wife, 26 years old, was loving. Since she is cold, indifferent. furnished a nice home for her. She will not live with me nor answer my letters. She never came to see home I furnished for her. I work very hard every day; try to make p1easantness for her. I plead, but she gives me no satisfaction. Says she wants to stay home a while Ought she to have thought of that before marriage, to have settled down now? My home is still open to her. My peo- pie are anxious about me. Only give your view.
 H. w. J.
 It is a, great pity for wife not to know the blessings of home, and treat co1d1y good husbands love. There s hardly any cause, to justify taking no notice of a hard-earned furnished home, which the heart prompted to please. After wed1ock there should be no lovers quarrels. Both ought to be patient, have good sense, keep affec- ton won for happiness.

Dear Miss Libbey:-

Is it proper for a girl to bow, bid time politely to a young man she adores yet never spoke to-knows he is all right? What am to say to girl friends escort after treating me and my sister to ice cream with his friend? If introduced and I am sitting should I rise or remain seated {?
 E. J. Eighteen is not too young for com pany. It looks very badly for a girl to bow to a young man she never spoke to. Don't do it! Ate the treat of ice cream you can simply bow pleasantly. If introduced you should rise; remain standing a. little while.
