WAR BETWEEN GERMANY AND
ITALY LIKELY

Events have been shaping themselves
for an actual declaration of war between
Germany and Italy, thus ending the
anomalous position of two nations vir-
tually hostile to each other in a great
conflict and yet not formally declared
as such. For more than a year Italy
has been aligned with the entente allies
against Austria, the chief ally of Ger
many, and during recent weeks has been
infiicting great losses on Austria and
thereby weakening Germany's resistance
against the entente. Moreover, Italy has
joined in the entente conferences in Par
Is at which plans of concerted campaigns
were prepared against Germany as the
final objective albeit the immediate
point of attack might have been one or
the other of the German allies So. on
its part, Italy has been virtually at war
with Germany although the nominal
peace treaty of the triple alliance still
remained. On the other side, Germany is
held 10 nave been responsible TOT the Of
fensive which Austria conducted against
Italy few months ago, an offensive
which might not have been participated
in by German soldiers but which never
theless bore evidence OF having been
mapped out by German army officers;
and when the Italian forces turned on
the invaders and began to sweep them
back the same German ingenuity was
undoubtedly turned toward forming a
defense. although perhaps no German
troops actually took part At least that
is the general impression. particularly in
Italy. Then again. there has been strong
suspicion in Italian naval circles that
Germany has bsen more OF less mixed W

vermont's Way.

Vermont, although the number of its
troops in camp is small and its native
generosity not small, finds that the
hand to- mouth methods of providing re-
lief for militismen's families are not a
success. Gov. Gates has called special
session of the legislature for next Thurs
day "to provide for such compensation
of Vermont troops in addition to United
States pay and for such relief of their
families and dependents as may seem ad-
visable."
Vermont is the first state to call the
legislature into session for militia relief
II may not be the last state to take ac-
ton if the troops remain away through
this month.
Even in Massachusetts,. where public
spirit in times of emergency is always
prompt and liberal there is difficulty in
providing a decent living for destitute
dependents of the soldiers. The relief
found has been so small that the ex-
pedients of the frankest charity have
gathered without the fuss of ordinary
charity methods seems impossible of at
tsinment. The soldiers family asks and
receives at some cost of pride, in many
instances. Massachusetts, is not likely
to tolerate that plan much longer.
Special legislative sessions in the first
few days OF the militia mobilization
would have seemed hysterical. But with
continuing doubt as to the period of Dor
der duty, and with the public fervor
gradually subsiding to the zero mark,
there viii be renewed discussion Of legis-
lative action in many ststes.-Boston

in the submarine campaign in the Medi-
terranean sea, to say nothing OF Austrian
attacks from the air. Therefore, while
avoiding the appearance OF being actual
ly engaged in war against Italy, Ger
many really seems to have been one OF
the active planners of Austria's cam
paiqns. Still there was no declaration
of war between the former allies in the
triple alliance Now comes the reported
addition of Italian troops to the entente
allies forces in the Balkan region, where
great campaign seems about to be
started. There Germany and Italy are
sure to clash in actual conflict because
the Bulgarian and Austrian movements
are directed in large part by German Of
ficers. even if German troops are not
participants. This last development is
likely to prove the event which results
in formal declaration of war either by
Germany or by Italy The almost i'm

Miseries of the Red Sea.

In the waters Of the Red sea the
cessation of the engines on a steamer
for an hour means extreme physical
suffering for passengers; for a day it
would involve absolute torture. The
wind which prevails every day is a
hot, asphyxiating blast and its contin-
uous directions are from north and
south toward the center. AS a result
every passing vessel is subjected to
two days of almost intolerable heat,
followed by two days OF compare
tive comfort, but instances have been
known of crowded liners being COM
PEELED when travelling with the wind
to turn round and stem back for an
hour or so In order to give the pas
sengers even a brief respite from the
sufferings induced by the dull, dead,
atmosphere.

Norwich university is to be congratu-
lated over its good fortune in having
Major Frank Tompkins, L. S. A, as
signed to the position OF professor OF
military science and tactics for the year
beginning next month because Major
Tompkins is markedly capable of filling
the place. He already has served term
of three years in the position and during
that time he gained the. respect of Nor
witch men in general, besides giving good
satisfaction. Recently he has received
deserved recognition for his part in the
pursuit of the Villa bandits who at
tackled Colum bus, n. NJ, which attack
led directly to the sending of the entire
army to the boundary line. In fact,
Major Tompkins was the leader of the
first party which pursued the bandits
across the information line, and during
the opera tions he was twice wounded and
then sent back for recuperation. So,
during the interval since he first served
at Norwich, Major Tompkins has gained
not little experience from actual cam
paigning and he will be in position to
bring to the military department of the
university at Mortified a broader idea of
military science and tactics.

Women Teachers Have Good Reason
For Dreading Tuberculosis.

Women Teachers Have Good Reason
For Dresding tuberculosis.
That teachers are especially prone to
tuberculosis is the statement made by
the bureau OF educational hygiene of
the city of New York. This department
says that this disense is 20 per cent
more prevalent among teachers than
among Others Of corresponding sex and
age and that about half of all deaths
among women teachers Is caused by
tuberculosis, and this In spite of the
fact that teachers belong to better
hygienic grade than the general aver
age.
Strenuous, nerve taxing work that
causes physical exhaustion and nerve
breakdown is given as the main cause
Terman states that -four hours OF ac-
tual teaching represent about eight
hours Of ordinary office work What
Is probably the second cause is lack
Of sufficient rest and regular exercise
In the open air.
Speaking along this line, the state
board Of health says: THE wan tired
look that usually marks the teacher
especially about the close OF school, is
too often a condition OF serious conse-
quence. 1t may be just tired, run
down condition or case of 'wornout
nerves or both. but these are predis-
posing causes Of tuberculosis as much
or more than others.
Unless the teacher is wise" SAYS
the board, land as quickly as possible
overcomes this tired feeling and re-
gains her usual state of health AID
yigor she subjects herself to an open
risk against tuberculosis as well as to
other diseases.
What the wise teacher will do Is
to avoid overwork and a nervous strain
and see that she gets sufficient rest
daily as well as daily exercise in the
open air. This WORKOUT condition that
Is too often the beginning of long.

vent it should be the teachers first
