LONDON, Jan. 5.-(3 a. m)-The
Daily News in an editorial today
pointing out what It terms mcousis-
tencies in the Baralong evidence says
it is possible, even probable, that sea
warfare since the sinking of the Lusl-
tania and the Arabic has assumed a
degree of sayaKery which formerly
was inCouCelyable.
The Germans says the Daily
News, have torn up kindly sea ira
ditions and 1t is idle to expect that
their example should be wholly un-
contagious. When the war Is ended
1t will be one OF the most urgent and
difficult tasks OF civilization to re-
establish them.
80 far as the German protest Is
concerned, Sir Edward Greys half
ironical offer to submit all cases to
an impartial tribunal is fair enough

Governor Gates Starts Sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals in
Vermont.

At the request of Mrs. B. H. Stone,
chairman of the Red Cross Seal Com
mittee of the Vermont Association
for the Prevention of tuberculosis
Governor Gates has purchased the
first one hundred Red Cross Seals
sold in Vermont this season. In
response to Mrs. Stones request the
Governor said, 81 am enclosing my
check for the first hundred Christmas
seals issued by the Vermont Associa-
ton for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis. | most heartily approve of
the purpose of the organization, and
wish you success in your efforts to
combat the dreaded disease, in Ver-
mont"
In addition to the endorsement of
the Governor the Vermont Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs has decided
to abandon the sale of its special
seal this year and urge all of the af-
filiated clubs to jump in and push
the sale of the Red Cross Seal. In
most of the towns members of the
clubs will have charge of the local
sale.
Moreover most of the business mems
organizations of the state have en-
dorsed the sale of the seals and prom
iced to co-operete in making it a big
success. There is an extra interest
in the sale this year because for the
first time Vermont has an active or
ganization for the Prevention of
tuberculosis.
After a careful study of conditions
in the state the association has map
ped out definite program for fight
ing consumption which has been en-
dorsed by the leading physicians and
the welfare workers Of the state.
The returns from the Red Cross
Seals will determine how much of
the program can be put into actual
operation.

commercial and military lines. It
should be read by all interested in
Vermont transportation and develop
ment.

Industrial Value of Military
Training.

President Reeves of Norwich Uni
versity, who was in command Of the
First Vermont Infantry on the Dor
der, and who is an advocate of the
economic value of military training
has sent out letters to employers,
asking for a statement as to the i'm
provement in efficiency of their en-
ployees who saw service in the Ma
tional Guard in federal service dur
ing the summer months. The
answers received are invariably to
the effect that there has been i'm
provement. One superintendent of
very large manufacturing plant
answered as follows: Il am trying
to get the overseers all over the
plant to give report on any i'm
provement they have noticed in all
who have served under you at the
border. They all report some i'm
provement in all, and a decided i'm
provement in many. Of course a
variation is to be expected but those
who seemed to be careless in every
thing before their short training
seem greatly improved in habits
since their return. | think | have
seen every overseer in whose employ
the soldiers are, and they are all of
the same opinion"
Other employers are returning
answers along the same line. There
are also many excellent reports re-
ceived from the men of the regiment
who are working for themselves.
Probably the strongest indorse-
ment is expressed in the following
language of a superintendent: Our
Mr.. z said to me one day, Mr.. x, if
we can do something to keep our
boys together in such a training as
they had while in the army, we
would be able to greatly increase
the efficiency Of the department. ="
In passing, it might be noted that
the First Vermont Infantry was the
first complete regiment to reach the
border in response to the President S
call. A fraction of the Fifth Mas
sachusetts reached the border a few
hours ahead of the first section of
the Vermont regiment, but all four
sections of the latter regiment had
arrived and gone into camp before
any other complete like unit was in
sight.
The Vermont regiment no doubt
contained more college men than
any other regiment in the United
States. The headquarters company,
supply company, and machine gun
company were composed of cadets
of Norwich university, while COM
pany C and the medical corps were
