VERMONT'S MILITARY PREPARED
NESS

Because equipment and transportation
facilities are lacking. it is said that 300
Vermont National Guardsmen in camp
at Fort Ethan Allen since June Is would
not be able to start for the Mexican Dor
der until at least SO hours after receipt
from Washington of orders to entrain.
Let's seel Wasn't Vermont one of the
states that poked fun at New Hampshire
for her delay in starting troops for the
border? And hadn't it been generally
understood that all the Vermont troops
had gone Manchester N. H.. Union.
You are slightly misinformed, neighbor.
The Vermont National Guard, recruited
to its full peace strength was the second
state organization to leave the eastern
division following the receipt of orders
from the war department; and it left
Vermont in special trains of day coaches
about II hours after the first detachment
of Massachusetts, volunteer militia left
the Bay state There were then in the
Vermont mobilization camp large num-
Der of volunteers ready to 60 with the
Vermont National Guard, but the num-
Der was not sufficient to recruit the or
ganization to the full war strength; nor
were the recruits sufficiently equipped TO
20 into active service because the war
department had not furnished the sup
plies necessary. Therefore, the cavalry
division and the recruits were LETT behind
to await the equipment; and, as We I'M
derstand it. the fault was not with Yer
mont that this equipment was not fur
nished in the interim between the depart
ure of the Vermont troops, mustered to
the full peace strength, and the hour
when the order was given for dispatching
the remainder Of the troops. II was this
detachment Of troops which was recently
ordered To the Mexican boundary and
which started. not the Vermont National
Guard as IT was constituted before the
Mexican embroglio broke out. These
troops are over and above the normal
Vermont National Guard.

A Germ That Knows No Barrier.

If the germ OF poliomyelitis were a
personal devil, endowed with all the in
genuity commonly attributed to the
chancelery OF darkness, it scarcely could
confound the guarantees of this region
more exasperatingly than it does
On Monday there were reported in this
city, where congestion compels personal
contact to a remarkable degree, only 43
new cases, while scattered through New
Jersey there were 81 new cases. And yet
the New Jersey roads are dotted with
inspectors, holding up and driving back
the children of New York.
Long Island is as 'hysterical as New
Jersey in the matter of guarantees and
barriers For weeks the hamlets OF Suf-
folk county have been closed to children

wants; and that is why he has uncere-
moniously dismissed Won Falkenhayn as
chief of the general staff and placed Won
Hindenburg in the position. If Won Hin
