| Burlington, May 20.-Yesterday after
noon there came to the Red Cross head
quarters in this city a report that South
Hero, with a population of 800 had Sc
cured LAG members for the local branch
of the Red Cross. This is the highest
percentage of members according TO pop
ulation yet reported from any section of
the state. The report further added
that there would be large number of
additional members and the indications
are at this minute that South Hero will
be the banner community in the state.
The statewide campaign for member
ships in the Vermont chapter American
Red Cross began yesterday morning un-
der the most suspicious circumstances.
The weather was ideal. The captains of
the soliciting teams and their lieutenants
were enthusiastic over the work before
them. They started in for a full days
work and they made it all of that.
Returns last evening at headquarters
from many sections of the state indicate
that the 10000 goal set for Vermont by
national headquarters will be surpassed
by many thousands. Word was received
from Montpelier that the local commit
tee there had given out the statement
that they were going to "put it all over
Burlington" and with this declaration
request was made for 400 additional but
tons. Montpelier has certainly started in
theoretically. but the local committee in
Burlington reply to the challenge made
by Montpelier that the Queen city will
stand at "top notch" when Saturday
night, the concluding night of the cam
paign, arrives. Before noon yesterday

Asserting the international mind re-
quires that "a nation and its government
shall freely and gladly grant to every
other nation and to every other govern
ment the rights and the privileges which
it claims for ITSELF" President Butler
added
FROM this it follows that the inter
national mind is not consonant with any
theory of the state which regards the
state as superior to the rules and re.
strictions of moral conduct or which ad-
mits the view that to some one state is
committed the hegemony of the worlds
affairs for the worlds good. When that
doctrine prevails and takes hold of the
conviction and the imagination of great
people. an issue is presented that cannot
be settled by vote in conference, that
cannot be arbtirsted by the wisest states

the findings OF any court. The authority
and the value of each Of these modes of
procedure is challenged by the very issue

President Butler declared the difficult
ties confronting the country 'are not
alone difficulties arising from present
lack of popular information and present
lack of popular interest in international
politics, but they are also those which
arise from the structure and the opera

A DANGEROUS OCCUPATION.
Is That of Sweeping German Mines from
English Channel.

Paris, May 20 Correspondence of the
Associated Press Sweeping the Eng
lish channel for mines laid by German
submarines is one of the most exciting
and dangerous occupations of the war,
according to the stories told by men
participating in that work.
mime sweepers doubtless are the only
vessels of the navy on which life belts
are worn from the time of leaving port
until the return" writes jacques Mar
sillae, from aboard a mine sweeper on
service in the channel.
1.-THE task OF group of mine sweepers,
composed of seven sloops formed in
echeons, two by two, connected by steel
sbles, with the dag boat leading, is to
clear a channel about half mile wide
| and 50 miles long of the mines laid there
by German submarines he adds. These
underwater mine layers carry from Is
to p mines, according to the type, and
they frequently lay them quite close to-
gether, so close, in fact. that it has be-
come an axiom in the mine hunting craft
/ that where one is found another is sure
to turn up.
"The wireless operator on the flag boat
of the group, who has served on four
mine sweepers that have been blown up
| in the service, had scarcely flashed to
the boats of the group that mine had
been signalled when a black mass adrift
appeared on the crest of the waves
ahead of our boat A second later it
disappeared We steered in its direction,
every man on deck searching intently Tor
its temperance The few minutes in
which a sighted mine disappears are full
of infinitely disagreeable tension on board
a mine sweeper.
"And If we touch itg' Marsillac asked
of the wireless operator.
"Then it is joss" he replied, meaning
that it would be fatal.
"On this occasion the fates were friend
ly TO us" wrote Msrsillac. ''for the mine

reason that no one could explain, re-

contact with which means destruction.
The boat sheered of and the gunners,
using a special rifle ball at about 200 |
yards under immense difficulties resulting |
from the rolling of the boat, fired 50
shots without touching one OF the fatal
needles. They succeeded. however. in
piercing the mine. which filed with water
and sank TO the bottom of the sea.
"The two leading slooPs raised a half

ARMED FORCE NECESSARY
To Determine Whether Non-Moral Mill
tary Imperialism Shall Rule.

Long Beach, n, Y, May 29.-Charac-
terizing the national conference on for
eign relations of the United States, at
which he made the opening address here
last night, as the beginning of an educa-
tional campaign in America to develop
the international mind" Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia uni
.versity, declared the world war is now
being fought to decide if that doctrine
should prevail
Resort must be had to armed force"
he said sin order to determine whether
the international mind shared by score
or more of Independent and self-respect-
ing nations, shall prevail, or whether the
arms of a non moral, all-powerful mill
tary imperialism shall be stretched out
over the whole round world for its gov
eminent and it's protection"
President Butler asserted the people of
the United States would find it unneces-
sary for some time to come to concern
themselves with foreign relations and
foreign policy if the war was won by
Imperialism.
These matters would be taken care of
for Them" he said, by power that had
shown itself strong enough to overcome
and to suppress the MISUNDERSTANDING
men and nations. On the other hand, If,
as we confidently hope and believe, the
issue of this war is to be favorable to
the free, self governing democracies OF
the world, then the people of the United
States must address themselves with re-
doubled energy and with closest atten-
ton to those matters of legislation, of
