were discovered. 1t Is now conser-
Vatlvely estimatad that fully two per
cent of the entire 100000 men
subject to draft will be found to have
active tuberculosis, most of the cases
being hitherto wholly unsupported.
This will mean that the country will
have fully 100000 young men Of
draft age who will be rejects on
account of tuberculosis. Something
must be done TO give these young
men proper care with the hope of eff
fecting a cure in great many thous-

THE MISSION OF THE SEALS.
Ii Is for this great war fund to fight
tuberculosis that the Red Cross
Christmas seals are placed on sale
Every stamp bought is silent but
powerful promise to the young men
of our land that work is going for
ward to stamp out the disease from
which every year 10000 persons in
the United States die.
The conservation of thestrength of
our nation in the supreme test of this
war will depend very largely on the
public response to the appeal to buy
Red Cross seals at one cent each.
WHERE CAN YOU BUY SEALS?
Mrs. p. l.. Orcutt has been named
by the state organization to look af-
ter the sale of these stamps here and
when the supply arrives, which will
be in few days, they will placed on
sale at the various stores. Make it
your business to help sell these Red
Cross Christmas Seals For it may be
that before you know it the fearful
ravages of tuberculosis will come
home to you with all its horrors.
Will you not do your bit" now
and help fight it? Buy a bunch Of
Seals.

In spite of being very tired Mr.. TAFT
was in very good humor During the
course of later remarks on our world
possessions he had occasion to refer
to the purchase of Alaska. which at
the time was described as Stewards
folly" He said time had vindicated
Stewards judgment long after Seward
was dead.
I'm personally interested in the vim
dication of dead statesmen" he added
with pointed emphasis.
Mr.. Taft described at some length
the reasons why the position taken by
Washington. that this country should
not become entangled in cld world
politics and alliances. was no longer
possible. He made an exposition Of
the thought the keynote of his re-
marks.
We have entered upon new stage
of history, not only of the United
States but of the world he said. we
have heretofore kept out of world poll
tics and the intrigues of Europe.
Events are shaping themselves so that
we are likely to assume the RESPONSE
pllity of world politics because we have
the power"
He continued by saving that there
was no comparison between the stua-
ton of the colonies of WashiGgton's
time and the world power in which the
United States now found itself. Our
Pacific coast states, he said made us
a Pacific ocean power Alaska and the
Philippines made us an Asiatic power.
Panama gave US interest in South Am
erica, and our possessions in the West
Indies and our protectorate over Cuba
made us West Indian power.
There can not be war now all
around the world without involving US.
When we get thru with this war as
victors it will be to our interest to
enter into entangling alliances so that
we may rot again become invoked in

Taft on World Relations.

After an overture by the high school
orchestra and invocation by Rev. w. G.
CroWder. President F. NJ. Wilbur, of the
school board, very briefly introduced
Mr. Taft. When he had finished Super
intendent Palmer commented on the
size of the class and the large increase
of high school attendance in recent
years. The diplomas were distributed by
President Wilbur and the exercises
were ended by the audience singing
America" and by the benediction pro-
nounced by Rev. Mr.. Crowder.
Mr.. Taft spoke for about three-quar-
tiers of an hour. His review of the world
events that nave led step by step to the
point where the United States has be-
come belligerent in the world war was
an exceedingly clear cut statement OF
the developments of the war that drag
ged this country into it and the rea-
sons why the United States could not
stay out.
In beginning his address on Americas
relation with the world of today Mr..
Taft spoke first 10 the graduating
class, and to its members his closing
words were given.

another phase of the education and
preparation for the life you will lead

we are in this war 10 win it. You young

son and meaning of our taking this
step forward.

LIBRARIAN RESIGNS
Miss Mary Patch Succeeded by Miss
Marion A. Adds


Miss Mary A. Patch. who for nearly
two years has been the popular and
efficient librarian of the Bennington
Free Library, has resigned her posi-
tion. Miss Patch is to be married in
the near future, and will leave Ben
nington the first of June
The board of managers have accept
ed the resignation of Miss Patch with
genuine regret. She has maintained
and carried forward the high standard
set in recent years, since it became
the policy of the board to put in
charge of the liberty specially
trained worker
The library has never been better
ordered or more widely useful than it
is today. Although the book fund has
been limited and there has been a
lack of certain modern appointments,
the increasing patronage of the
library has been fine witness to the
understanding, tact, and general
capability of the librarian. Sympathy
with children and help rendered
especially to the pupils in the high
school have been marked features of
the present administration.
Miss Marion A. Adds of Middle
town, Conn, has been chosen as the
new librarian. Miss Adds, like her
predecessor, is a graduate of the
Springfield library school. For the
past three years she has been first as
sistant in the Gardner, Mass, library
She comes highly commended. 1t is
expected she will begin her work in
Bennington the middle of June.

NO PASSPORTS
FOR STOCKHOLM
CONFERENCE
Government FroWns on Soc
iaIist Peace Propaganda
AMERICANS WARNED
Those Who Attend Without Passports
Liable to Imprisonment for
Long Term.

Washington, May 24.--Emphatic dis
approval of the peace propaganda OF
European socialists was expressed
yesterday by the American govern
ment, which denied passports to
American delegates 10 the Stockholm
conference and issued a warning that
any American taking part in the ne
gotiations would be legally liable TO
heavy punishment. No formal an
nouncement of purpose was issued,
but officials explained that the govern
ment's course would have the twofold
effect of discrediting generally any
peace moves by unauthorized persons
and of condemning in particular the
present socialist agitation, regarded
since its inception as inspired by Ger
many.
In making known the decision not
to give passports to the American So
cialists designated to take part in
the Stockholm conference, Secretary
Lansing cited the Logan act Of 1893
as defining the punishments which
might be expected by any American
now in Stockholm or who might 90
there without passport and partici-
pate in the peace discussions. C\1er
this law unauthorized persons who
directly or indirectly treat with for
eign agents regarding controversies
of the United States may be impris-
oned for three years and fined $4,000

ference, authorized to represent the

are Victor l.. Berger of Milwaukee and
Morris Hillquit and Algernon Lee Of
New York. They were selected by
the party's executive committee after
a notable group of socialists, headed
by Charles Edward Russell and Will
lam English Walling, had condemned
the movement in joint statement as
"the most dangerous of all the kais-
er's plots" The same statement de-
nounced Hillquit and Lee, who are
socialist writer's, as radically pro- Ger
man. Berger, a native OF Austria
Hungary. has been editor of several
German-language newspapers in Mil
waukee and in 1911 was elected as the
first socialist TO sit in Congress.

.U-bOATS' WORK
FALLS BEHIND
APRIL RECORD
American Destroyers Help
Check Submarine Sinkings
ADMIRALTY is PLEASED
Cermany's Date for Starvation of
Great Britain Advanced from
June to October.

London, May 24.-The sinking of Is
merchantmen of more than 1900 tons
is reported in the weekly shipping
statement. Nine vessels of less than
1900 tons and three fishing vessels al
so were sunk. For the third week in
succession the losses OF British ship
ping from the submarine war have
been held substantially below the
large figures which caused so much
alarm last month.
In an address last week Kennedy
Jones. British director of food econo-
my, said new and successful method
of attacking submarines had been
put into operation.
The British admiralty this week
wears a pleased smile at the men
tion of the submarine campaign, for
the results of the naval work in the
past two weeks are regarded as really
indicating an important victory over
the Germans The German naval
people. throughout the early months
of the ruthless U-boat war, freely
predicted that England would be "on
her knees" by June /, and gloomy pic
lures were painted of grim famine
certain by that date for the people OF
Great Britain and France.
June is almost here, and German
victory in the submarine warfare
seems as far distant as ever. There
has beshsa. constant improvement III
the methods of the allies in opposing
and suppressing U-boat activity, and
these methods have become more and
more successful with longer days and
finer weather and increasing familiar
ity on the part of the shippers of mer-
chantmen with the methods of naval
control An admiralty official speak
ing TO the Associated Press said
The American destroyers are
playing no small part in the anti
submarine war, and our officers have
expressed the greatest enthusiasm at
the spirit, enterprise, acumen and
quick-wittednes with which the
American unit has taken up it's work
The Americans are already thorough
ly conversant with our methods and
we hope that they soon will begin
teaching us some new angles. or
course there is little to be said to
the public regarding the methods.
But thus far we are working on the
principle that there is no royal road
to success against Uboats. Hard
work and infinite pains is our recipe
II is the old American doctrine of
keepipg everlastingly at it. The Ger
mans who at first said they would
strip rs of cur tonnage by June l.,
have now advanced the date to Octo-
ber, and we are confident that when
October comes they will be under the
same necessity of advancing the late
