Vermont, my native country,
love thy scenery well;
There's beauty from the hilltop
To the lone and pleasant deil.
Thy springtime brings MS pleasure
With sunshine and with flowers,
When Il ess are white with blossoms
And fields are decked With flowers.
Thy summers are delightful,
And my heart seems light and free
When hear the pleasant humming
OF the locust and the bee.
Then autumn comes with granduer
And rays of golden light,
All nature robed in bright array
Is pleasing to the sight.
When summertime is over
And harvest days have fled,
Then over hill and valley
A mantle of white is spread.
There's beauty in the snowstorm
When on every fir is seen
A robe of pearly wilderness
Interminging with the green.
I've wandered through the southlands
Where sweet magnolias bloom,
I've roamed the west, the north, the east
But there's no place like home.
Then hail, my native country
Thy scenes [ love them well,
/ love Thy lofty mountains,
love thy pleasant dell.

ALL SPANS LINES TIED UP.
Railroad Stations Occupied by Troops
General Strike Threatened.

MADRID, July 13. The railroad
strike situation shows no Improvement
Premier RomanocS and the minister of
public works conferred with leaders of
the employees and the railroad directors
without results and the strike began
at midnight, at which hour all trains on
the Northern railroad were stopped. All
the principal railroad stations have
been occupied by troops and railroad
men liable to military service have
been notified that they must continue
at work; but only express and mail
trains will run. The railroad company
has offered to promote all employees
who remain at work. The national
union of Spanish Working Men dis
cussed the advisability of calling gen
eral strike of all trades. A special
meeting of the cabinet, in view of the
gravity of the situation has been sum
moned.

porter who visited her in her cell in
the Essex county jail.
The frail little woman, who is under
arrest charged with shooting and kill
ing her husband at their home III Cald-

seemed buoyed up by her contention
that her act was justified because it
was committed in self-defense.
my married life said she, "was
a hell. I did not buy the pistol with
the intention of taking his life. l
bought it to protect myself from his
brutality. Oh. if you could realize the

had refused to reinstatc a number of
workmen discharged on Tuesday and for a
recognition of the unions of electrical
workers and platform men.
In explaining the action of the strikers
who gave the company only 80 minutes to
comply with their ultimatum Charles
RouX, chairman of the strike committee,
stated that 1T was the belief of the com
mittee that the company was being ten

charged workmen had received
RouX asserted that the men were sum
marily discharged and that no cause was
assigned for this action.

REDMOND DELAYS LANSDOWNE.
Irish Leader Takes Exceptions to
Speech in House of Lords.

LONDON, July 13. - John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Nationalists, has
issued a statement characterizing the
speech of the Marquis of Lansdowne
i'll the house of lords on Tuesday as
a declaration of war on the Irish peo-
pie. He says also that the speech was
a breach of faith apparently made
with the intention of wrecking the
negotiations for compromise.
In his speech before the house of
lords on Tuesday Landsdowne outlined
a system for the provisional govern
ment of Ireland when martial law is
abolished there and until a new gov
ernment can be established. Among
other suggestions made by Lord Lans-
downe was the maintenance of gar
rison in Ireland strong enough to pre-
serve order. He thought 10000 troops
under command of Gen. Maxwell would
be sufficient to prevent the situation
from getting out of hand.

FIRE PROTECTION
Insurance Inspector Here Preparatory
to Establishing Classification
of Rates.

Inspector Caldwell of the New Eng

pressure for fire purposes i'll the bust
ness section of the town. A short
time ago Inspector DriscOll of the same
exchange was here and inspected the

ment thoroughly. These men Will make
reports on which the base rate for
fire insurance in the town will be made.
The New England Insurance ex-
change has undertaken to list all towns
and cities in different classes, the class
of each depending upon the fire protec-
ton. In this report viii be shown
where there are deficiencies, such as
faults in the building laws, in fire de-
partment equipment or in water
pressure or the distribution of mains
and hydrants.
A town by taking the necessary ae-
tion to remedy faults shown in the re-
port will be in a position to be trans
ferTed into a class favored with low
er rate of insurance. This has never
been done before on systematic basis
rates here and there having been es-
tablished independently of others of a
similar character in other towns.

AIMED AT GERMANY, NOT U. S.
Russian Statesman Explains Reason of
Pact With Japan.

PETROGRAD, July is. - Reports
that the new Russo Japanese treaty
was founded on fear Of Japan for tine
United States were officially denied
yesterday by CoLaseuor G.. Kozatov o.
the department of foreign affairs.
Counsellor KOlat2f, VINO condueted
the first negotiations between The two
countries last Jan I"ty, said the treaty
is aimed against Germany, rud the
United States was not even thought
of during the negotiations. The "oren
door policy in China will not hc If
fected in the least, HI said.

cy to increase h r sphere Of influence
in China before the war; the Russian
official declared. "She repeatedly at
tempted to ind lee Russia to 5o,a
against Japan 20 block Japanese i'll
tcrcsts.'
The reasons for the new treaty, Mr.
Kozatov continued, are that Russia
needs an ally to look after her in
tcrcsts in the East because Russia
must concentrate her attention OF
European affairs for the next decade
Russia, he added, desires to preven
Germany from doing in China wha'
she has already done in Turkey.

PLANS
JOINT COMMISSION
Arredondo and Polk Discuss a Board of
Six to Adjust Disputes With
Mexico.

WASHINGTON, July Is. - Negotia
tionS between the United States and the
Mexican government are expected to
result within week in an agreement
for the creation of joint Mexican
American commission to deal with thc
problems confronting the respective
governments 1t has been vic,uallv
settled that such a commission shall be
created, that il shall consist of s,A
members, three from each country, and
that it shall hold sessions at sunliIcr
resort in the United States.
The details as to the scope of the
commission S work have not been de
tc.nined. In the informal ncgotid,
tions that have been conducted prin
eipally between Acting Secretaty of
State Frank l.. Polk and Eliseo Are
dundo, ambassador designate of the
Mexican government, it has been sug-
gestcd that the commission un1ertakc

the border raids and the extent to
which there may be ulterior motives
behind some oi them.
Third-To consider the question of
the liability of the Mexican govern
mcnt for claims by Americans for dam
age sustained during the revolution.
The question of damage claims prob
ably will not be placed under the juris-
diction of this commission, at least not
in the beginning Such a task, it has
been suggested, might better be per
formed by commission of different
personnel. With the drafting of n pro-
tocol providing for a joint border
patrol it is expected that General Per

necessarily be withdrawn entirely.

I by Local Red Cross,

Maj. Linn d. Taylor, Private AL
phonse Rate and Benjamin Hill, a re-
crult for the cavalry, left here this
morning on the I'LL 'c3ock train for
the state camp. Maj. Taylor and Pri-
vate Rate came yesterday to attend
the funeral of w. III. Bracket and TO
do what recruiting could be done in
the short time they were here
Hill is Brattleboro boy, formerly
employed in The Reformer composing
room and lately employed in Keene.
\. H. He is on a vacation at pres
ent but if he succeeds in passing the
physical examination for the cavalry
will enlist.
Maj. Taylor is confident that orders
will be received in a few days for the
entraining of the recruits for Company
for trip to the border to join the
command at Eagle Pass, Texas
The following is taken from a copy
of a semi-weckly paper published at
Eagle Pass, Texas, concerning the ar
rival of the Vermont regiment there.
1t is dated July 6 and concludes with
a complete list of the field and line
officers of the command
1.-The first troops of national guard
to arrive in Eagle Pass were the Yer
monters. They left the little Green
Mountain state Tuesday afternoon and
without stop anywhere along the route
of more than so minutes, made it in
to Eagle Pass Sunday afternoon They
were tired, dusty and travel stained,
and the task of unloading and pitch
ing of camp and making ready for the
first night was not a welcome task,
but they tackled the job Heavily
loaded trucks were soon dumping the
equipment at the site located for the
Nermonters and while streets were laid
out and the assembling of company
stuff was under way the boys got their
first taste of a tropical sun.
- There was certain novelty in the
game to many of them and the fact
that they had landed on the border
and We're putting up within a few
hundred yards of the land Of the Mon
ltezumas added considerable spice, but
Speculation was laid aside and the
Icamp site, which had only been clear
ed and cleaned off, and water eonnec-
: tion laid, demanded all of their time
for there must be some hustling when
a new camp is pitched Tents must
go up, pits dug, rough and unsightly
places removed and such things done
as would make sanitary conditions as
nearly perfect as possible, for sol
dier can never know when camp OF
this kind is struck whether it is for
a week, year or the entire enlistment.
1.-The visitors from town were asked
many questions and the Vermonters
were surprised to learn that Eagle
Pass, a little city of 10000 people,
60 per cent of whom were Mexicans
/ had never been raided and had never
had disturbance of any kind, and
that the Mexican population across
the river at Piedras Negras came
across the footbridge daily, securing
{ their food and transacting business as
| if there was no such thing as border
: troubles. They couldn t realize it. Al
$ the way down there was heard al
: kinds of war talk and the Vermonter'
I were in frame of mind to expect
