show that there was a violent manifes-

Germanic people. 1t became necessary
for the United States to put its inves-

result of those efforts many Germans
were indicted on the charge of plotting,
in violation of the neutrality of the
United States; and some have been con
victed and sentenced to federal peniten |

plots have been traced into widely sep

The German government was, of
course made acquainted with these acts

did nothing to discourage such efforts by
misguided zealots. And now, 22 months

There is, of course, an element of truth
in what the publicity department Of the
Boston & Maine railroad company has to
say about the lack of hotel accommoda-
tions in Vermont, Rs compared with the
accommodations in Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Maine, that reason being
advanced by the railroad for its failure
to include Vermont in it's advertising
matter; but at the same time, as the
Vermont state publicity bureau points
out, there are many good hotels in Yer
mont and others are being built or added
to, so that the state is not by any means
without places for large number OF
summer visitors. Such accommodations
as the state of Vermont possesses furnish
very satisfactory service and, no doubt,
would be appreciated by those people toI
whom the Boston & Maine publicity eff
forts are directed. The Boston & Maine
railroad or its subsidiaries carry DIRECTLY
to large number of these places in Yer
mont which have good hotels, and it'll
would, therefore, be to the advantage of
the railroad to divert traffic to Vermont
resorts to a certain extent.

That discussion of Communicable Dis
ease" especially with reference to small
pox and chickenpox, ought to be valuable
to the Vermont health officers who gath
er in Burlington next July for their an
nuaI school. The ability to distinguish
between smallpox and chickenpox right
at the outbreak is not possessed by all
physicians in the same degree; indeed,
some physicians fail to make an early
diagnosis of smallpox, mistaking it for
chickenpox, and as a result the germs of
an epidemic of the former get well start
ed. Any agency that will tend to equip
physicians with the ability to detect
smallpox Immediately is to be welcomed.

Solitary Confinement,

When Kitty In her blind impulse Of
self-preservaticn sprang out OF Count

contemplate continued fight. Once
out OF reach of immediate danger, she
paused. loath to leave what she had
come there to obtain. and loath also to
abandon her stout.hearted ally i'll his

paused just outside the door once
more. As she did so. yet another door
opening into the hall was pushed
silently aiar-opened fully. Yet an.
other man. whom never In her life
had she seen before, now stepped out.
She felt hard hand close upon her
mouth, more than haif-stialng her
scream for help. "Silence!" she heard
his Voice insist. Go on ahead of me
Once mere Kitty undertook to
scream, and again the firm hand
stopped her voice. 1t seemed to her
that some pungent aromatic drug

struggled less violently. Events

belief that her senses must leave her
forever. The sense OF solitude was a
poignant torture.
How long she had thus remained
she could not tell, when at length the
close-ftting door In one side of the
four walls opened. An old woman
came In, bringing some food for her.
Kitty tried her in every language
which she had ever known, but got no
answer. The old woman shook her
head, and after q time retreated 81

conviction that there might be others
beside herself who would have some
inkling as to the whereabouts OF the

might therefore arrive upon the scene
