10 bring about arbitration of the Cult
Il Ship Island strike was started in
jackson this morning, and the munich
pal officials and business organiza-
itions in Hattiesburg, Gulfport, Column
lbia, Laurel and other points on the

asked TO join in the movement.
AT conference between Mayor S. J.
Taylor and Frederick Sullens, pres
dent of the Board of Trade,
it was decided to make an effort to
convince both the trainmen and the
railroad company that the public has
some rights in the matter, and should
not be made to suffer because of diff
ferences between the railroads and
employees, regardless of the merits OF
their contentious and also to point
out that the matter can and should
be settled by arbitration.
Other business organizations in
jackson promptly gave their endorse
ment, and the following telegram was
sent to the officers of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen and to Vice

CURRENT COMMENT
German Diplomacy Criticized.

German diplomacy has come in for a
good deal OF misplaced criticism both Mt
home and abroad, and the recent expert
ence of this country makes it easier TO
realize both the complexity OF the Ger.
man system and the difficulties under
which diplomacy operates. During the
anxious days in which war was being
forced upon Europe IL seemed almost i'm.
possible for the helpless government at
Berlin TO get in touch with its ambassa-
dor at Vienna, or TO bring any influence
whatever to bear there. In these later
days the German ambassador at Wash
ington seems TO have had almost equal
difficulty in getting into touch with his
government, or in understanding its pol.
icy. Diplomacy is one thing, policy is
another, and If the policy is impossible
the best diplomat can do no more than
play for time like financer staving off
Much of the blame which
has been loaded upon the diplomats
should go to the statesmen who set them
impossible tasks,-Springfeld Mass

In published statement, Mayor
James NJ. Boutwell, Of Montpelier an
nounces that he will be a candidate for
reelection if the voters OF Montpelier
want him and if the taxpayers are will
ing to provide the means for carrying on
the ordinary municipal business and, in
addition, to provide money for extra
ordinary demands that will be made
during the ensuing year. There is no
doubt whatever that Mayor Boutwell,
does not want the office again; he al
ready has served three terms as mayor
and several as an alderman, and, besides
he has important business interests
which demand his attention. Neverthe-
less he is public-spirited enough 10 put
aside his personal inclinations and is
willing to give the city his services if
those serves may be desired. Nothing
but an earnest desire to help Montpelier
prompts Mayor Boutwell, to take this
attitude. He has stated his position
plainly, and he has given the taxpayers
a clear idea of what they will be called
upon to do in raising revenue for nee
essary demands. 1t will undoubtedly
mean an increased tax rate this year be-
cause there are some extraordinary ex-
penses to be met. Mayor Boutwell, does
not dodge that issue but states the con
ditions plainly. Therefore, it is up to
the voters of Montpelier to say whether
they shall claim the services of pro-
gressive, fearless, business like official or
not
