War and the Farmer

For the first time IN nineteen years country
is at Wara war that may last three months three
years or longer. 1t behOoves every man, woman and
child to consider what this MEANS and what the duty
is which they owe to America and the World.
Particularly does it behoove the Farmer For on
his labors may depend the issue OF World War.
Even if, by some miracle, the War should end be-
fore fall the best authorities unite declaring that
the World will still face the prospect of a food fam
Inc, unless America makes fullest of this summer
which is to come. America must keep her military
allies and the neutral countries of Europe from
starvation. Not only that. On big crop next fall
may depend the happiness and perhaps the lives Of
thousands of our city population.
In this state of affairs, THE VERMONT MA
TIONAL BANK feels that it MUST take the liberty
of urging every farmer in its locality to plant the
maximum acreage he can take care of. AS to which
crops will be most needed and be most likely to bring
large returns he should consult Mr. SWeeton. If he
finds the increased expense for fertilizers etc. large
this Bank will try to do it's part But the prospect of
prices even higher than those of this past winter
should prove more of an incentive than any tenn
porary aid Bank give
Remember that no wage advances or regulation
of prices can add bushel of corn, beans, or po-
tatoes to the supply, after the growing season is
over.

GERMANY FACES
DEFEAT WITHIN
TWELvE-MONTH
Associates of Gerard, Arrived
at Havana, Say TeutOns
Are Starving.

Havana, March 12-Appaling con-
ditions prevailing throughout Ger
many were revealed yesterday when
James w. Gerard, the recalled
American Ambassador at Berlin, and
his party arrived here from Spain.
While Mr.. Gerard refused to make
any statement before he sees Presi-
dent Wilson at Washington, for which
place he starts today, several men
and women who left Germany with
him said the people were starving
and had reached that stoical stage
where they did not care whether VIC
tory or defeat came. What they want
is food.
The iron hand of Prussianism still
throttles the people of Germany,
keeping them in ignorance of true
conditions,> hiding from them the
strength of their enemies and bolster
ing their weakening courage with
false reports of victories.
The last straws will break the
cameps back before another year,
when harvests must fail for lack Of

sufficient food and when the people
must know and realize the failure
and the futility of Prussia's last des-
perate chance-the ruthless subma:
rine atrocity.
The steamship Infanta Isabel, Of
the Spanish line Of Pinillos Izquierdo
Y Compania, arrived off Havana at
o'clock yesterday morning with the
Gerard party on board and upon
signal from Moro Castle poeceded
into the harbor, dropping anchor at
1880 o'clock.
Mr. Gerard was at the rail and he
was cheered by the many small boats
that circled the steamship. William
E. Gonzales, American Minister to
Cuba; Gulliermo Patterson, assistant
secretary of the Cuban State Depart
ment, and Lieutenant Colonel Ed
mund Wittenmyer, American Military
Attache, were the first to go aboard
to welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard.
Then the diplomatic party dlsem-
parked in an official launch placed at
their disposal by the Cuban govern
ment Mrs. Gerard and others in the
party went to a hotel and Mr.. Gerard
went to the American Legation. Later
in the day Mr.. Gerard accompanied
Mr.. Patterson to the races.
The party, including about forty in
an official capacity and about thirty
others, including American correspon-
dents, will leave Havana at half past

nine tomorrow morning on board the
Governor Cobb for Key West. From
there Mr.. Gerard will go by train d.
rect to Washington.
While MIR. Gerard was glad to see
the forty American journalists walt
ing for him here and anxiously IN
oulired for the latest news, the only
statement he would make was:
st authorize only one statement.
That is, I am going to Washington TO
see the President just as soon as pos
sible. My future movements depend
entirely on the wishes of the Presi-
dent"
It is known that Mr.. Gerard greatly
desires to return to private Life and to
attend to his personal business Of
fairs.
Mr.. Gerard inquired specifically
about the Zimmerman note to Mexico
and the subsequent exposure OF the
Prussian intrigue in Mexico and Latin
America. 1t was the first he had
heard Of President Wilson's call for
special session of Congress.
Upon the authority OF a man who
has been in Germany a long time
can state that Mr.. Gerard will lay
before the President a mass of amaz-
ing information of the Prussian in
trigue to undermine the friendly rela-
tons of the United States with nearly
every country between the Rio Grande
and Cape Horn.
The voyage Of the Infanta Isabel
was without note, except for the un-
easiness felt until the Azores had
been passed. The vessel still was in
the U-boat zone when she heard by
wireless OF the sinking ct the Laconia,
and that intensified the fear. Pas
sengers said Mr.. Gerard had felt mis-
givings until the zone was passed.
1.-The Germans have reached that
ttoical stage when neither defeat nor
victory means anything to them" said
one of the passengers who had come
out of Germany with Mr.. Gerard. ALI
of those who had accompanied the
recalled ambassador agreed that the
grip of Prussianism still has a fast
hold on the people and that Germany
is not yet ready for unconditional sur.
render.
They confirmed the reports of the
ill-health of the Kaiser, saying that ir
official circles it is we'll known, but
that the people are not permitted tt

STATE SUES FAIRFIELD
COUNTY FOR S463.76

The unusual situation Of the state
of Connecticut suing a county de-
.velops out of the rebuilding of the
Southbury bridge by the state high
way department. The state has been
known to sue towns and individuals,
but seldom has it proceeded in court
against a county.
The state has sued the county of
Fairfield in the court of common
pleas at Hartford for $463.76, alleged
to be one-fourth Of the cost of re-
construction Of a bridge on a trunk
line highway between Southbury and
Newtown. The state highway COM
commissioner, on July 20, 1915,
found a reconstruction Of the bridge
to be necessary and deposited With
the Fairfield county commissioners
copy of plans and specifications of
the reconstruction Of the bridge and
an estimate OF the cost, accompanied
by a notice stating the intention Of
the highway commissioner to recon.
struct the bridge. The county of
Fairfield did not, by its commission
ers, or otherwise, offer any objec-
tons, it is alleged. The bridge was
reconstructed at a cost Of $1,S55.O5.
Under the provisions of the public
acts Of this state one-fourth Of the
cost of reconstruction became paya-
BILE by the county, but it is alleged
the sum has never been paid.
However, the action Is a friendly
suit, brought to .Se court to deter
mine the meaning Of the word ''re-
construction" as used in the law. The
county maintains the word means
strengthening, and the state highway
department maintains 1t means en-
tire rebuilding IL necessary. If the
word as used In the law means
merely Strengthening bridge then
the county will not have to pay a
fourth of the cost Of the rebuilding
Of the bridge.
AttorneyGenera1 George E. Hin
man brings the suit for the state.
Bowers & Williamson Of Bridgeport
appear for Fairfield county.
