of the Vermont committee OF public
safety, in an address before the House
! OF Representatives this afternoon.
Governor Graham, former Gov. Chas.
w. Gates, Adj-General Tillotson, Com
missioner of Education Milo B. Hille-
gas and Fred A. Rowland, secretary
/ of the public safety committee, also
addressed the lower branch of the
Legislature, outlining clearly and en-
, phatically the military and economic
| problems which the nation and the in
! dividual States must face. None of
, the speakers attempted to minimize
the fact that the country is facing a
most serious proposition.
Former Governor Gates declared
that the unpreparedness in food pro-
ducts was as serious as the unprepar-
edness in the military lines. The high
prices of the present he said were
but an indication of what was to be
expected unless the production was
greatly increased, as we must supply
the allies as well as ourselves with
food. A supreme effort must be made
this year and the subcommittee of
NhiSh MI Qbi'o 10 NndlA man wa vi
deavor to enlist all Of the people of
the State in this campaign
Commissioner Hillegas said that the
boys and girls of the State who enter
the food production campaign should
be termed "Vermont's Real Home
Guard" Ii was probable, he said, that
1000 men would be taken from the
industries of the State for military
purposes, most of these from the
farm. There are enough boys in the
elementary and high schools of the
State to replace twice that number of
men in agricultural work if they are
not discouraged by adults. 1t should
be made plain TO them that they are
doing their bit on the farm just as
much as the men who are with the
colors
MIR Rowland said that the only way
the country was prepared was iinanci-
ally and that had been thrust upon us
He did not see any quick ending to
the war, as Germany's military
strength never appeared greater than
at the present time. He detailed the
organization of the public safety com
mittee an dthe work of the sub-com-
mittees.
General Tillotson told of the pur-
chase of equipment for the Vermont
troops, for which $133,205 has already
been expended. Complete equipment
down to the smallest detail will be on
hand for one regiment at full war
strength by June L. Governor Ora
ham urged all of the members to be
ready to respond to the committees
call and to work with their townspeo-
pie when they returned home. The
whole outcome, he said, rested upon
the citizens OF the State.

President of Baldwin Locomotive
Works Scouts Theory.
The theory that the lddystone ex-
plosion was the work of spy was
given little credence by Alba b. John
soc. president OF the Baldwin locomo-
tive works at Philadelphia, who owns
the buildings Of the Eddystone am
munition corportion. 1T would be
next to impossible for spy to get in
to any of the loading houses declar-
ed Mr.. Johnson Tuesday night. ITO
do this 1t would be necessary to pass
heavy guard which surrounds the
whole plant. Every one of the indi-
vidual plants inside the enclosure is
likewise guarded and special permit
is required to pass this second guard. ."
The Eddystone ammunition corpora
ton is finishing an order for $780, 900
three-inch shrapnel shells for Russia,
to cost S16.2O apiece, approximately
$40,000,00 for the entire order. The
company was formed for this purpose
% months ago.
On the return from a preliminary
investigation Frank i. Garbarino,
special agent Of the department of
justice, said "If the explosion was
the result of plot, the men who
did it either went up with the build

illustration, Hughey says. The De-
