"A sift Of 5000 "for the advancement
and usefulness Of the Red Cross work in
Vermont" is announced by Secretary
Harry 8. Howard Of the State chapter IN
behalf Of the executive committee. Secrc-
SAry Howard said the money would be
expended for organization purposes and
the like. The donor withholds hio name.
Mr.. Howard said there was need OF
men, and not women alone, to learn first
aid work; and any further funds that
might be given without restriction as to
tho means for which they were to be
spent, would be used for the purpose of
providing such instruction. The Ameri-
can Red Cross has for some months been
planning the organization of sanitary
corps.
a date between April 10 and 20 will be
selected for the big chapter meeting and
Statewide conference to be held here,
when c. r.. Nutter, secretary of the north
eastern division of the American Red
Cross, will come here to meet representa-
tives of the branches of the order in the
State. There are about 30 of these. The
city hall has been tentatively chosen as
the place. and there will be two sessions.
a business gathering in the afternoon for
the chapter and q public mass meeting
In the evening.
The executive committee has made
public just lately a resolution which it
passed some time ago on the death of
DIR. Fl. ID. Holton of Brattleboro, former
chairman of the chapter.
Tho oath of the month is the probable
date of beginning, says Miss Constance
Wheeler, Of the classes of instruction in
the making Of surgical dressings. Miss
Wheeler, who is secretary Of the Burling
ton and Chittenden county branches. said
that IA or 10 women from various towns
IN the State have sent in their names, and
signified their intention of attending the
class. A Red Cross nurse from Boston
will be the teacher. The parish house of
ct. Faul's Church is the place selected
for the class. which will last, contrary
TO- original expectations. 10 days. From
20 to 30 women, it is confidently expected,
! Will come to the city. When they return
home they are to spread a knowledge of
: the work. Several other towns besides
those already represented WILL Miss
Wheeler believes communicate with her
before long. Women's clubs and not
branches of the Red Cross alone will
send representatives. .'
Miss Wheeler wishes the public not to
confuse this work with the local work.
She said: This course is not for the
benefit Of the people of Burlington, but
TOR representatives Of other towns in the
State. We hope that all the Burlington
people who wish to work on surgical
dressings will come to our local work
! room as soon as this is opened. We hope
+. TO open 1t within a week, and all will be
welcome then"
Supplies prepared here. says Secretary
Howard, may be devoted to any one OF
three objects. in the following order:
First. to furnish base hospitals in Massa-
chusetts; second, to send to Europe;
third, to store at home for future use.

AMERICAN FINANCES.

Recently Secretary OF Treasury Nc
Adoo gave the country some reassur-
ing information regarding the cost Of
the war preparations. The American
people were prepared for any sacri-
fee. therefore, the news from Mr. Nc
Adoo's own lips that the War Depart
ment later estimates Of expenses for
the fiscal years are fifty per cent less
than the original figures submitted is
a message that calls for great deal
Of eIf-congratulation
Mr. McAdoo told of this in recent
speech made in Baltimore and among
other things said:
Vague and unfouiided apprehensions
seem TO exist in the public mind as 10
the extent of the financial require
ments of the United States during
the current fiscal year II may be
helpful to the country to know that
these requirements have been greatly
exaggerated, and that in the judy
ment OF the Secretary of the Treasury
there is no reason whatever for appre-
hension on THIS score This opinion
Is based upon the latest estimates of
our financial needs.

COURAGEOUS ITALY.

We must take off our hats to Italy,
despite the breakdown OF her ambi-
tious enterprise across the Alps and
down the Carso plateau.
Her armies had covered a vast area
of Austrian territory and had almost
attained the main objective, which was
the capture OF the city and port of
Triests. and the domination of the
adriatic seacoast, when things hap
pened for which Italy or her valiant
military captain were in nowise re-
sponsible
Ii Russia had held firm and had
given the Teutons and their allies
enough to do TO keep them busy on the
eastern front, Gen. Cadorna would pos
sibly, even probably. have been able to
hold his ground in the Carso and Balm
'sizza plateaus and atop of the great
mountains that overlooked them, and
might have had Austria-Hungary prac-
tically out of the war as formidable
foe in comparatively short time

CAMOUFLAGE.

The present war among other mat
tiers, has given currency to new word
which one alert American states sig
mites. when translated into the Ian
guage with which we are familiar,
fake" The word sounds so express
sive that it has caught on with the
American people and it is now being
used more frequently on this side the
Atlantic than ii probably is in the land
of its birth. 1t began life as a mill
tary term, meaning that if You made
the enemy believe one thing when in
reality the thing was not what ii APP
peared 10 be. that was camouflage.
Camoufiage painted trees on piece OF
canvas and had battery behind it so
that the enemy airplanes could not
locate the spot from whence came
death-dealing shells; a third or fourth
smoke stack was formed out of paper
and the appearance of ship was
camouiaged from that of a warship
of one class to that of another, or by
the removal of one or more smoke
stacks the vessel might be trans
formed from vessel of war into an
apparently peaceful trader, inviting
the unsuspecting submarine to its
doom
SO expressive has the term become
that it is more than likely to become
incorporated into the language cur
rent in America But the newness OF
the word does not by any means indi-
cate that the people OF the United
States have not been acquainted with
its practice for 10. these many days.
Scarcely any line of business. politics
or pleasure but the practice has been
a more or less popular diversion. The
dealer who disposes of an inferior ar
tlcle al a price demanded for the best

society leader who gives great func-

sary to say that quite a number Of
men who have been elected to Office
