Pres. Wilson Will Add the
Incident to the Summary
Of Illegal Attacks

Washington, d. c., March 23.-The
sinking by German submarine OF the
American steamer Healdton with the
probable loss of score or more of her
crew. many of them Americans, while
another grave addition to the long list
of German aggressions against Ameri-
can commerce, cannot cause any immedi-

United States and Germany, it was said
here to- day A virtual state of war al
ready exists, government officials be-
lieve, and they are doing everything pos
sible to prepare the nation to meet the
condition.
The destruction of the Healdton, how
ever, will be included by President VIII
son in his summary OF German attacks
or American commerce when he goes be-
fore Congress April 2. The president re-
ceived the first official reports on the in
cident early to-day. Consul Mahin at
Amsterdam cabled that the vessel, un-

LABOR OPPOSED TO BILL
To Prevent Strikes Till 90 Days After
Reference to Commission.

Representatives OF the Vermont branch
OF the American Federation of Labor Wig
orously opposed yesterday afternoon the
bill providing for the referring of all la
bor and employer controversies to the
public service commission and making it
illegal for union to call a strike until
so days after the commission has pub
lished its report for the case Another
public hearing will be held before the
commerce and labor committee next
Tuesday evening. Representatives from
Barre manufacturers associations and
of various Barre quarry firms spoke in
favor OF the bill
The labor men demanded to know the
origin of the bill and after Chairman
Pierce had stated that it was handed him
by labor man, further inquiry devcl-
oped the fact that he was not sure of its
origin. The labor representatives fur
ther contended that the bill was discrim-
inatory because it did not apply to en-
ployers and that there was not another
like it in the country. Supporters of
the bill admitted it should be amended in
this respect. 1t was also contended that
labor was not commodity and should
not be restrained in this manner.

A PARALYSIS PREVENTIVE
Is to Cleanse the Nose and Throat, Says

dent of the state board of health.
"Dr Taylor has apparently shown"
DR.. Cayerly said, chat diseased noses
and throats allow the passage of the
virus into the central nervous system,
while normal noses and throats seem to
neutralize this poison, The simple pro-

with warm water, in which table salt
has been dissolved, is perhaps as good
a preventive as we have"
