WILSON DAY POLICE
New Traffic Posts Necessitate
Services OF Officer
Posts Placed in Position Yesterday -
Town and Village Act Together for
Benefit of Traffic and Public.

Two traffic posts were placed yester-
day by the village commissioners
and the selectmen of the town acting to-
gether, at the intersection of Main and
Elliot streets, and at the intersection
Of Main and High streets. The object
IS, OF course, to safeguard traffic at
those points and better provide for the
safety of the public.
The village officials and Police Chief
George Wilson spent Wednesday even
ing in Greenfield and studied the traffic
regulations there.
Approaching the necessity of having
someone to enforce traffic rules, arrange
ments have been made by the officials
whereby Chief Wilson went on duty at
II clock, noon. He will 90 on duty each
noon and work until about midnight.
Officer Ellis G. Worden will go on duty
early in the evening and work through the
night. The time of heaviest traffic is in
the afternoon and evening and with the
traffic posts and the officer on duty in the
afternoon it is hoped that pedestrians will
have an easier time crossing Main street
than has been the case in the past.
The proper location of the post at the
corner of Main and Elliot streets is one
that will be determined by practical use
and it may be found advisable to change
it several times before the proper location
is finally determined
1t is the purpose of the officials of the
village and town not to put into force any
unreasonable regulations, hut only those
which will serve as a protection alike to
drivers and pedestrians The officials ask
the cooperation of all drivers to the end
that the traffic problem may be simpli-
fed
1t is probable that the commissioners
and selectmen at an early date will pre-
pare some reasonable traffic regulations
and submit them to special village meet
ing for approval. In working out these
regulations the officials will be glad of
suggestions and cooperation on the part
of owners of vehicles

The $1,000 tons of dyes that Germany
has consented to allow shipped to this
country will grant temporary relief OF
the dye famine here, but the real relief
should be a protective tariff that will en-
able Americans to undertake the manufac-
ture of dyes for themselves. The Demo
ment to the resolution continuing the
duties on sugar, but we believe the coun-
try will demand this protective measure SO

1t will be your part as n good citi-
zen to go to the polls and vote at
the first presidential preferential pri-
mary, to be held in Vermont next
Tuesday. The supporters of the three
leading partiesi-Republican, Demo
cratic and Progressive-will have OPP
portunity to express their choice as to
presidential candidates. The name of
Woodrow Wilson as the Democratic
candidate is the only one that appears
on the ballot, but there are columns
for the Republicans and Progressives,
and in these columns the name will
be written in and checked, or stickers
may be used, the check being placed
in the cross opposite the name the
same as in writing it in. The vote
should not be small simply because
the process is new. There should be
full and free expression of opinion
Wilson will get the great bulk of the
Democratic votes. and we opine that
majority of the Republicans will
write in and check the name OF
Charles +. Hughes.

DIPLOMATIC BREAK AVERTED.
Policy in Compliance With American
Demand.

| All danger of a diplomatic break
with Germany has been averted for the
present and relations are upon bet
ter basis than at any time since the
Lusitania was sunk. The long-awaitcd
German note was received in Washing
ton late Friday. Although unsatisfac-
tory ON several points it met the Pres
ident s basic demand with Germany
- Immediately declare and effect an
abandonment of present methods of
submarine warfare" The note stated
that Germany s submarine commanders
have been ordered to conduct their
warfare against merchantmen in ac-
cordance with the general principles of
visit and search recognized BY inter
national law and that these orders are
now in effect. Germany, by implica-
ton, threatened to withdraw the orders
unless the United States obtained con-
cessions from Great Britain relative 10
the blockade.
The reply to Germany was cabled by
Secretary Lansing Monday. In it the
United States accepted the declaration
of abandonment of the former subma
rine policy and stated that this country
relies upon a scrupulous execution of
the altered policy to remove the prin
cipal danger of the interruption of tho
good relations existing between the two
countries. With the acceptance was
coupled a formal notice that the United
States cannot for Il moment entertain,
much less discuss, suggestion that re-
spect of German naval authorities for
the rights of citizens of the United
States on the high seas should, in the
slightest degree, be made contingent
upon the conduct of any other govern
ment affecting the rights of neutrals
or non-combatants. This last statement
is IN reply to the request that the
United States use its efforts to break
the British blockade.
The American note, according to adj
vices from Berlin, is entirely accept
able to the German foreign Office and
and is favorably commented upon by
the leading newspapers in Berlin and
other cities.
In another note received in Wash
ington Wednesday, the German govern
ment admits that the steamship Sus-
sex, on which American lives were lost,
was sunk by submarine. Germany
states that the submarine commander
responsible has been punished and
promises that reparation will be made.

1t is an encouraging sign to see the
Vermont farmers so deeply interested
in the raising of valuable purebred
cattle. Thousands of dollars changed
hands this week in Rutland at the first
sale of the Vermont Breeder s Sales
company. The consignment were from
wellknown herds in this state, and the
stock will 90 to farms over q large
area where it will form the nucleus for
new herds. A single bull from the Lo-
berl consignment in Wells was bought
for $1,000 by Cramton Brothers of Ira
and o. A. Thomas of the town of Rut-
land, and II. C. johnson of Vergennes
paid 500 for seven-year-old COW
with nearly 30-pound record. Among
the Windham county purchasers were

heifer, $3.50; G. J. Dorsett, South

The state department of weights
and measures is considering the adj
vocacy of a law to sell eggs by the
pound. We have no doubt that event
ally this custom will prevail all over
the country. There is no fairness in
selling eggs by the dozen method
which has always been in vogue. Eggs
vary so much in size that one dozen
may weigh 80 per cent less than an
other dozen. Big eggs are worth more
than little ones, and ought to be sold
according to their worth.

ASKS u. S. TO BAN
SUBSEA WARSHIPS
Professor Laid, of Yale,
Says U-Boats Change
Conditions.
LIZ Telerrnph 70 M Tribune. ]

New Haven, Oct. 9.-Former Gov
ernor Simeon f. Baldwin and Professor
George T. Ladd, of Yale, asserted to-
day that the ordinary rules Of inter
national law are not applicable to sub
marine warships. Professor Ladd held
that this country should at once forbid
submarines 70 enter our waters or
conduct raids near our coasts.
"The submarine attacks yesterday
emphasize the desirability of better
definition than we now have of terri
torial limits The three-mile limit was
adopted at a time when cannon hit
the mark at three miles" said Mr..
Baldwin. "Now they can hit at twenty
miles. II is a questionable propositio
whether neutrals may not be under the
duty of using long range guns TO pro-
tect the shipping Of friendly nation
off its coast, even If more than three
miles away"
Mr.. Ladd said: at seems to me that
the recent outrages Of Germany de-
mand from our government prompt
and drastic action. There is no need
to consult experts in international law
or books on that subject The very
nature of the submarine has intro
duced new factors in the whole situa-
ton, rs concerned with relations Of
neutrals to belligerents, as Of neutrals
10 neutrals and belligerents to one
another.
GAS the leading neutral nation, we
have a right, and IL is our duty, TO
nh he If IF
ing on this matter shall be. In fact,
President Wilson has already said this.
He has said that the torpedoing by
submarines Of merchant and passenger
ships, even If accompanied by warning,
when their crews and passengers are
turned into the sea in open boats will
not be tolerated. He must now either
cease TO content himself with further
diplomatic notes and stand by his word
in deeds, or he must repeat cnce more
what foreign nations have come to con-
slider a merely verbal policy.
what should be done is, of course,
for the government 20 say, but it seems
70 me that 10 would be warranted in
issuing at once a proclamation that no
foreign submarines would be tolerated
IN our waters or receive hospitality at
any Of our ports. This measure, how
ever unusual II might seem TO be,
would, ! think, be justified by such an
emergency.
81 DO not easily see how our govern
nent can refrain now from doing what
IN my judgment ought long ago to have
been done-namely, 10 break off dip
lomatic relations with Germany on the
ground that it has forfeited all rights
70 remain at friendly terms with civ
ilized nations"

U-Boat Raids Off Nan
tucket Cause Jump
on CargOes.
INCREASE GOES
TO FIVE PER CENT
Underwriters Predicting
Higher Figures if Opera
tons Are Extended.

U-boat activity of Nantucket on sun
day caused a big jump in the rate OF
war insurance yesterday. and unless
the Teuton raider or raiders are capt
ured or destroyed it is likely there VIII
be further increases from day to day
One of the prominent underwriters de-
clared yesterday that the U-53 by us
actions would determine the necessity
for boosting the war risk rates from
day TO day, and that the amount OF IN
crease would depend on the submersi-
ble's effectiveness.
When the underwriters closed tneir
Offices Yesterday the transatlantic rates
had increased from l per cent to per
cent. while the South American rate
had Jumped from one-fourth OF per
cent to 3 per cent. =,
Hendon Chubb, Of Chubb & Son, said
the advance had been made IN the
South American rates because IL was
assumed that the submarine interior
ence with shipping would hardly con
tinue long off Nantucket and that the
submarines-if more than one were OPP
erating-would logically go down the
coast.
1t was thought by some of the insur-
