By no means all the students of Dart
mouth college are enamored of the idea
of recognized military course in that
institution; and a committee, acting un.
der the authority of a so-called indie
pendence league, has set out to deter
mine. the undergraduate sentiment re-
speeding the matter. The names of this
committee indicate that the sponsors for
the antiknilitary movement cannot be
accused of hyphenism, because the names
include a Parkhurst, an Evans, an
Emery, Merryman, a Jordan, a Leigh
ton and a MacMahon. Therefore, their
efforts will not be discounted at the out
set by suspicion of disloyalty to their
country by reason of recent foreign de-
scent. 1t must be that their opposition
to military drill springs from a sense of
inexpediency of the course or from
real antipathy to the arts of war. They
are to be given credit for sincerity of
purpose based on something besides hid
den hostility to the country which fos
tiers and protects them. That under
stood let them 60 ahead and carry on
their propaganda and take their defeat,
perhaps.

BRATTLEBoRo REALTY SOLD.
Four-story Brick Building Bought By
Fall River Man.

Brattleboro, March l0.--The four story
brick building on Main street owned by
the O. j. Pratt estate was sold yesterday
to Earl p. Carlton of Fall River, Mass.
The transfer involves about $4,000.
The building contains the dry goods
store of the Pratt estate, the clothing
store of Goodnow, Pearson 4 Hunt, sew
eral apartments and lodge room. The
future of the property is not yet an
nounced, but there is reason to believe
that new business will occupy at least
one of the stores.

Petrograd, via London, March l0.--A
categorical denial that Turkey has made
peace proposals of any sort to Russia

partment OF the near East, TO whom the
Associated Press correspondent was re-

We only have heard Of such alleged pro-
posals through inquiries at this Office
based ON newspaper reports. You may

10 COUNTRIES NOW AT WAR.
Gernany's Declaration Brought Portuga

London, March lO.-Germany has de-
clared war on Portugal. Thus Is coun-
tries are now engaged in the information.
al struggle.
The declaration of war was made by
Germany chiefly on account of the re-
cent seizure of German merchantmen
interned in Portuguese ports and Portu-
gals refusal to rescind this action and
once more place the ships under the Ger
man flag. A long series OF alleged
breaches of neutrality by the Portuguese
government, such as permitting British
troops to pass through the Mozambique,
the use of Portuguese ports as basis for
British warships and insults to the Ger
man nation by members of the Portu
guese Paliament also were contributing
factors.

A pRoGREssIvE MOVE MADE.

The movement to secure a county ag-
ricultura agent for Washington county
has progressed beyond the doubtful stage
and as the result of the conference OF
farmers held in Barre yesterday, the
plan has been worked out SO completely
that an agent is likely to be employed
before the spring work on the farms
commences. The county agent plan has
worked out successfully We understand,
in those other geographical sections of
Vermont which have been progressive
along this line, and the farmers have
found it to their distinct advantage to
be able to call upon trained agricul-
turalist for advice and for guidance of
their collective interests. There are very
many phases of farming in which bet
terment might be obtained under the
plan, and we feel certain that with the
employment of a capable official the
farmers of Washington county will
eventually find themselves considerably
benefited Those who have been back
of the present undertaking are to be
on the initial success OF
their endeayors.

The most Germany can be expected to
do against Portugal, now that she has
declared war, is to harry the little ma r
TONS commerce with submarines. Ger
many's armies are otherwise engaged
and her navy is being looked after quite
effectually by Great Britains, leaving
submarines and air machines as about
the only weapons calculated to do injury
to Portugal at the present time. Portu-
gal probably felt sure of that before she
committed the hostile act of seizing Ger
man ships in Portuguese ports.

Germanyls Cabinet UpheayaI.

Reports Of cabinet crisis IN Germany arc
neither sensational nor alarming, although the
story will likely be seized upon 70 create both
sensation and alarm. The rumored retirement Of
Gotteb Won Jagow from the ministry for foreign
affairs is the most important feature Of the news
Won Jagow handled the diplomatic rcins during
the year Of conversation" over a most serious
issue with the United States, which was critical
many times, and which was finally aiaycd, il
not entirely solved, by the grace and adept
phrasiDg adopted by the German foreign minis
ter IN his latest communication. Even his most
acute critics admit that Won Jagow did well.
Prince Won Bucow, former chancellor of the
empire, who is picked by the gossips to succeed
10 the foreign office, is also diplomat Of tried
ability and in line with established German
policy u the change is made Il will be in heads
and not IN purpose or methods
Gcfmanys cabinet has lasted better than any
OF the others under the stress Of war England,
Austria, Italy, France and Russia have each UNI
dergone changes IN cabinet personnel, and 10
some extent policies have been altered while the
Germans have adhered closely TO what arc now
known 10 be wc.feasoned.ont plans But even
the German cabinet is amenablc to popular pres.
sure, which sometimes is irresistible, and during
war is very difficult to withstand To hold out
against IL the ministry must be unusually strong
or uneommonly successful.
In no other instance OF cabinet changes has
the course OF the war been seriously affected. and

How to Speed Up the Good Roads Movement


The Automobile club and the Commercial
club have been busy for some time working on
plan looking toward systematic road improve
ment throughout the entire state, under state
highway commission or some similar authority,
and il is understood that this subject is TO be
brought up at the forthcoming meeting Of the
State Association Of Commercial clubs
The problem OF good roads IN the nature Of
things cannot be successfully handled as a local
matter, as VIE have up to this time attempted to
handle IL Wherever II has been satisfactorily
solved it has been done only by taking il up in
larger units and areas usually the whole state
II Is plain that Nebraska Is now ready to make
definite step forward for good roads and ii
comes to question Of procedure after the plan
Is agreed upon. Enactment into legislation
could be materially speeded up by putting the
proposal in the form Of an initiative measure
and submitting il for popular approval al the
coming fall election Although the time IS short
10 sign up petition with the names Of 10000
qualified voters within the limit Of July /, next,
II is quite possible with the help Of the various
organizations already at hand
The advantage Of this method would be that
the law, il ratified would be at once effective,
while At best, bill passed by the legislature
would not become operative until the following
spring, and, more probably, until July ! Of next
year Even then legislative action, unless carry
ing the emergency clause, would be subect TO
be hung up another two years by referendum
appeal Obviously therefore, the procedure by
initiative would give much quicker results and
probably at outlay Of no greater effort
