Stripes should not be used even in
"ruse de guerre" by any nation now en-
gagged in the European war. 1t IS SAID
flat international law permits such adop-
ton of the flag of another nation and
that it imposes the duty on the attack
ing or pursuing war vessel to overhaul
and make inspection of the attacked or
pursued vessel before proceeding to de-
stroy it. Such might have been the
whole procedure in the case of the Lusi-
tania, which flew the Stars and Stripes
when attack seemed imminent in the
passage through the Irish sea on the way
to Liverpool, but happily there was no
such contamination following the hoist
ing Of the American flag. just what un-
derlies the failure to attack, providing,
OF course, there were hostile vessels
about, is not apparent at this time; but
il il almost certain that If the procedure
is allowed to 90 unchallenged there are
apt to be very serious and entangling
consequences for the United States.
Every ship Of high or low degree, from
an ocean liner to,a fishing smack, would
be expected to follow the lead Of the
Lusitania and hoist the Stars and Stripes
in case of danger of attack, thus impos-
ing on d hostile vessel (if international
law is strictly followed) the demand that
each pursued vessel be overhauled to de-
termine the right to carry the American
flag. That would necessarily bring the
vessels legftimately carrying the Amer
lean flag into the same classification;
bona fide American ships would be over
hauled and scrutinized. Such course Of
action would lead to serious embarrass-
ment OF the commerce of the United
States. There might be even more Sc
rious consequences in actual hostile dem
onstration without being preceded by the
formality OF overhauling the vessels fly
ing the American flag. 1t is easy to see
that by making cat's-paw OF the Stars
and Stripes very serious consequences
may arise. Therefore, it seems to be the
duty Of the United States to make form
al protest against unrightful use Of the
American flag.

Medical School Attendance.

The number Of college students in
creases during hard times and diminishes
in times of prosperity. The period of
depression in the early portion OF 1918
was prolonged by the declaration of war.
Perhaps as a consequence, at least as a
coincidence. three universities, Columbia,
California and Pittsburg, gained over
I 900 students each in All departments;
ak. Ohio State. Wisconsin, New York
university. Minnesota and Pennsylvania
gained more than 500; and 'fye others,
illinois. Nebraska. Cornell, Cincinnati
and Michigan, gained over 300.
The increase of registration in hard
times is particularly 10 be noted In the
professional schools. Business reYerses

material resources.
our universities now begin to rival
even the largest Of the foreign universi-
tics in the numbers of students regis
tered. During the present year, and
while the war lasts, there viii be much
more educational activity in this country
ahan in any OF the countries Of Europe.
The following universities now have
more than 5000 students in attendance:
Columbia, N ,294. California, $780, Chi

Instead of there being an increase ~

The Barre MayOralty.


tWhtn the publisher or anyone con-
nected with newspaper becomes can
didate for public Office, he is placed in a
peculiar position as regards the utter
ances of his own paper concerning that
candidacy; if he proceeds to print state
ments in support Of himself, he is imme-
diately accused Of blowing his own
horn; IF he says nothing in support OF
his candidacy because Of sense of nat
ural reserve under such conditions, he
perhaps unjustly handicaps himself, mas
much as the columns of his paper are
open to the advocacy Of another candi-
date for the same Office.
So at the present time in Barre, Mr..
Langley, the publisher Of this paper,
finds himself in the position above de-
scribed. He is a candidate for the office
Of mayor. He has opened the columns OF
his newspaper to the support OF other
candidates; and those candidates are free
to use these columns within the bounds
Of reason and newspaper ethics. As for
himself, he is prevented from urging his
own candidacy by reasons above given
hut il does seem to the undersigned TO
be proper to reprint such newspaper COM
ment as may be made by contempora.
ries. The following articles are printed
without the knowledge Of Mr.. Langley,
and we trust that no one win accuse Mr.
Langley of blowing his own horn be-
cause they appear in the paper OF which
he is publisher.)
"Frank Il. Langley publisher Of the
Barre Times, one of the most pubiie-splr-
tied and enterprising citizens of his live
city, Is to be a candidate for mayor at
the March election. In several positions
of trust, Mr.. Langley has shown superior
qualities of business ability.
Barre citizens will be assured OF a busl-
ness like and progressive administration
if they choose Mr.. Langley as Their chlef
executive. Rutland News.
Frank f. Langley, editor and pub
Usher of the Barre Times, and one OF the
most spirited citizens OF the Gran
tie city. is to be candidate for mayor
in the coming election. Mr.. Langley
established The Times in 1897 and since
has been potent figure in the progress
of the city, materially assisting IN all
public projects. He was license commits
sioner for two years and made an excel
lent record as state printing commission
or during his four years of service. He
is one of the trustees of the Aldrich pub
lie library, aided in establishing the
Barre CITY hospital, is a member OF the
executive committee which has the man
apement Of that institution, and is chair
man of the building committee OF the
new hospital structure. He was fore
most in the movement which resulted in
the formation of the Barre Hotel com
panv and was one Of the incorporators,
as well as large stakeholder Of the
company. His business ability Is lnques-
TONED. and there is no question but that
Barre would be given business.like and
progressive administration, should he be
chosen as chief executive of the city

While the total amount collected is not
large. the work of the Vermont branch
of the American Red Cross society in al
leviating suffering and deprivation shows
a spark of vitality that is most encom-
aging for the continuance Of the benevo-
lences. Treasurer II. S. Howard Of Buzz
lington is keeping at the work Of draw
ing subscriptions with commendable zeal
and IS constantly enlisting the co-opera-
tion of more and more people throughout
the state, for, as they become more con-
versant with the purposes OF this organ
ization, Vermonters willingly lend Them
selves as agents toward the eonsumma-
ton of its cherished aims. Vermont peo-
pie are generous givers in such cause
Of humanity, giyers to the extent OF
their ability, which, unfortunately, Is
not large in comparison with the abilities
of the people in some other more pros
porous states. But such as they have
they are willing 10 share with those who
have been the victims Of some great
ealamities like an earthquake, a terrible
fire or the scourge Of disease in its most
virulent form. Hence, the work Of n
well-ordered organization like the Red
Cross society is likely TO increase its
scope in Vermont 20 a considerable ex-

WITNESS TO sTABBING.
Woman Says She Saw Fair Haven Man
Struck Down.

Rutland, Feb. 9--Giuseppe Marine,
the Italian who was arrested at White
hall, n. ", Sunday night on the charge
of having stabbed Angelo Gioio TO death
at the boarding house Of Mrs. Mary Pat
t! in Fair Haven Saturday morning, will
mot be arrigned in city court for two
or three days. He is now confined at
the Rutland county Jail, having consent
Cd to come into this state without the
formality of extradition papers.
1t develops that there is witness OF
the stabbing, States Attorney q. v.
Poulin having obtained signed state
ment from Mrs. Filomena Carroll, daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Patti, who was sent up to
Marines room early Saturday morning
by her mother to ascertain the cause
OF great noise in the room. The young
woman alleges that she saw Marine have
4 black handled knife in his hand and
saw him strike Gioio with it two or
three times.
The authorities have learned that Ma
rino bought a knife in Fair Haven Fri
day.
A grand jury win be summoned for
the March term OF Rutland county court
to consider the case.

The activity shown by the authorities
of Rutland county in pursuing the man
who is alleged to have stabbed another
to death at Fair Haven recently had its
reward in the capture of the suspected
man, result much in contrast to many
similar cases which have been noted not
only in Vermont but elsewhere. Those
officers are to be commended for being
wide.awake and energetic in the prose-
cution of their work, not only because
such qualities win result in the speedy
trial of an accused man but because the
result was accomplished, as we under
stand the case, without calling upon the
state of Vermont to pay large sum in
detective hire. 1t was work done by
home officers, and well done and speed

From The Shades of Homer

est epic poem, Troy deserves a visit
any year, every year. In the thoughts
and emotions it reyives and stimuli
ates, in the aroused sense Of indebt-
edness of all subsequent literature
and art, it richly repays visit. The
classical student will leave it in a
daze of meditation upon things more
real to him than the actual things he
has seen and touched"
On the site where the German
savant, Schliemann, unearthed Ho
mer's Troy, nine layers of old-time
cities were found, one above the
other. They were builded, destroyed
and forgotten here during the more
than 5000 years that civilization has
lived upon the products of the fertile
valley. The tempest layer contained
the remains of the Roman city of HI
found directly beneath it, which -four
ished here between 1000 B. C. and
the Christian era. The sixth city
from the bottom was determined Ho-
mer's Troy. The bottom layers con-
tanned the remains of prehistoric
settlements, unimportant villages
that have escaped every memory ex-
cept these few, uncovered, decaying
stones. In the Second or Burnt City,
probably 500 years before the time of
Troy, was found considerable mass
of buried treasure, silver bars, gold
daggers and wonderfully wrough.
diadems of gold. Describing the
country around Troy, Mr.. Conner con-
tinues:
"Yonder the summit of Mt. Ida,
where the gods in solemn conclave 81
often sat, where 'cloud-compelling
zeus' sometimes thought two ways
