City Management Is Business Not

what The News has been for years
contending for. 1t has insisted that
the management of city affairs was
purely a business proposition, and
should be absolutely separated and

of the Business Mems association
FOR discussing public affairs and can

protest made against this carrying

and the approval which it met from
his auditors, representative of the
best interests Of Rutland. indicate
that we are gradually coming to oul
senses in the matter OF city business
Those who are selected to manage
our municipal affairs should be Sc
iected solely with reference to thei

munity; and their politics, their ma

 on Thursday the Greek commander at Rupel fort received a Bulgarian de- mand that he evacuate within 24 hours as lEe place was essential for Bulgar- ians defense and would be occupied by the Bulsarians in accordance with the general policy of neutrality as inter- pieted at Athens.
 "It was known that the Bulgarians fad already strongly fortified the Nresna pass which bars. the Struma valley forty miles farther north. but the seizure of Rupel seems to indicate that they were not satisfied with that defense of what really is the most di- rect route to Sofia.

Another View


 ROME, May 2S.-Courante Italia, the semi-official organ of the vatican. gives high praise to the speech of Pres ident Wilson before the League to En force Peace The paper says:
 This speech is the most eloquent manifestation of President Wilson's work for peace and his desire to be q mediator From across the ocean President Wilson answers the pope, who was the first to raise a voice de- fending principles which the war may have obscured momentarily. but which remain immortal
 The president and the pope invoke return to justice and fraternity among the peoples. Their union is consoling spectacle among the painful sights of this period of blood and hatred. Even if President Wilson's initiative fails, the world must rejoice at his intention. The Tribuna likens President Will sons suggestion to advice ''to put salt on d birds tail" since his suggestions while acceptable by everyone are diff ficult practically.

 Peace talk is premature and mis- chievous. Germany would doubtless be glad to agree to what might appear to be terms favorable to the allies. Nevertheless there can be no satis- factory end until Germany has suf- fered a decisive defeat"
 The Daily Mail says: Tt would be profound misfortune If the critics took too limited d view of President Wilson's speech. On its pos itiVe, constructive side, it deserves fair i treatment and principally by this coun- l try. Nothing is clearer than that on l fundamental issues President Wilson i and Sir Edward Grey are absolutely
 one. The identity of purpose between Great Britain and America in their ain for the maintenance of the worlds peace is full of hope"
