Safety on highways ought to receive
more attention Speed fends and drunken
drivers are already attended to by laws,
but there are many very real dangers
which have received no attention. One of
these is the road intersection where thick
shrubbcry or trees make it impossible for
the driver on one street to see an APP
preaching vehicle on the other until the
two are ready to collide. Slow driving is
of little avail in such places; the only
remedy is to clear away the distractions
to sight, as is required by regulation in
some places. Another danger spot is the
narrow road with sharp curves where it is
impossible to see ahead on account of
shrubs and trees. Automobiles have CON
siderable trouble at times when they meet
on such curves, but the danger to them is
man who is holding his best girl in a
buggy and neglcctng his horse. Such an
obstruction in the center of a narrow
winding road is not quickly guided to the
side where it belongs. Underbrush ought
to be cleared away on the inner side OF
such curves, at least so that a driver can
detect another vehicle on the road aheat
before it is nearer than IS feet. This doe
not require the destruction of shrubber,
or trees, but merely enough thinning on
of the growth to enable carriage o
motor car to be seen. Still another DANCE
point is the junction of a road with an
other at right angles, concealed by an in
tervening rise or curve SO that the juno
ton point is not seen until just before thu
moment when the driver on the joining
road must turn into the main read. Sucl
places are extremely dangerous and sigr
posts should be erected to warn the trav
eler of their proximity.

WAR DANGER AVERTED.
Carranza's Note Likely to Bring
Friendly Relations Between U. S.
and Mexico

Early resumption of friendly diplo-
matte conversations with the de facto
government of Mexico to the end that
peace and order may be restored i'll
Northern Mexico and along the border
is expected here to be the next step of
the United States in its relations with
its Southern neighbor.
The crisis precipitatcd by Villa S
raid on Columbus, n. NJ, and culmin-
ating in the fight at Carrizal, Mex,
between American and Mexican troops,
appeared Wednesday to have been dis
sipated by an amicable note from Gen.
Carranza presented during the day
by his ambassador designate in Wash
ington, Elisco Arredondo.
Carranza proposes that the differ
ences between the nations be adjusted
by mediation of other nations or by
direct negotiations between Mexico
and the United States.
He suggests in effect that pending
settlement, by negotiation or media
ton. no new military moves be inau-
border, that n military status quo as
of the date of the Columbus raid, be
maintained.
One prOpOsal is thut camps OF MeA
lean government troops and United
States soldiers be established on their
respective sides of the border at in
tervals and that information Of the
movements of bandit raiders be inter
changed by officers of these camps Sc
that operations against such raiders
may be carried on by either force on
its own side of the line
The wording of the note shows none
of the strong, even insolent, character
of the previous Carranza communion
tions on this subject and displays al
apparent desire to conciliate the Unit
ed States.
Officials in Washington believe that
all danger of war with Mexico has
been avcrted, for the present, at least

The war situation has never looked
so dark for Germany as at present
The effort to break the French line
at Verdun has failed after thousands
of men have been sacrificed. Now the
French and English have launched a
tremendous drive against the Teutonc
lines, with the result that they have
gained ground, inflicted terrible losses
and captured many prisoners. The
Germans are still strongly entrenched
on French soil, but they are no longer
on the offensive. The Russians, handi-
capped at first by lack of equipment,
are now sweeping forward over the
fields from which they were driven a
year ago. They are back on the slopes
of the Carpathian mountains and are
threatening to push forward to the
rich wheat fields of Hungary, where
the supplies have come from which
have fed thousands of the soldiers of
the central powers on the various
fronts of battle. The Italians, on the
other side, are also grave menace to
the Austrians. The war is likely to
drag along for many weary months
but the entente allies on every side
except the Balkans are pushing the
fighting. That Germany and Austria
will be beaten in the end now seems
certain.

PAGE VS.. FLETCHER.

The senatorial situation assumes more
definite form this week through the
announcements of Senator Carroll S.
Page and exGov. Allen NJ. Fletcher.
AS was expected both have decided to
seek the nomination at the September
primaries. Their statements to that
effect will be found elsewhere in this
issue.
readers to know that this paper is OPP
posed to the reelection of Senator
Page. 1t has felt for long time that
his service in Washington, while doubt
less the best within his ability, was
not of the sort to make his return
necessary to the interests of the state.
In his formal announcement Senator
Page lays stress on the fact that he is
in line for promotion to important
committee chairmanships in case the
administration changes next March,
and he modcstly intimates that his
measure of influence is greater than
any new senator could hope to acquire
in less than eight years. Of course,
there is something to these claims, and
yet The Phoenix must confess that it
has seen nothing in Senator Page S
record thus far to warrant the assump-
ton that opportunity is the only thing
needed to make him q national figure
in congress. He has been alert in the
sense of keeping close watch of pub
lie opinion, but his course appears tC
The Phoenix to have been governed
more by expediency than statesman
ship.
While The Phoenix did not supper
Mr.. Fletcher in his campaign for tn,
gubernatorial nomination it believes
that his record while in office stamps
him as q conscientious and fearless ex
ecutive and man amply competent t.
represent Vermont in the United
States senate. He was not popular
governor, to be sure, and yet upol
analysis his unpopularity seems to be
due in great part to the activity OF
the representatives of certain interest
on whose toes he trod in his efforts tt
conserve what he considered the great
est good for the greatest number
Among his opponents will be founc
many of those who have been active il
politics in past years-the men whit
have dominated conventions, PICKED
out candidates and preserved the sane
tity of political precedents. Under tn
old system of choosing senator's hi
chances of election would be nil Blu
the direct primary will doubtless Civ
him the support of thousands of com
mon, everyday Vermonters who ad
mire the very qualities that have mad
him SO cordially hated in certai
quarters.
