(By Review Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. April 2s-com- plete understanding of America's attitude in the war - unreserved cooperation in the fight of democ- racy against the German military menace without entangling poIiti- cal alliances-wss expressed by Foreign Minister Balfour, head of the British war commission in a statement today to newspaper cor respondents.
 ''l am told, said Mir. Balfour, that there are some doubting crit ics who seem to think that the ob- ject of the missions of Great Brit ain and France is to inveigIe the United States out of it's traditional policy and to entangle if in a for nal alliance, secret or public, with European powers. cannot imag- inc any rumor with lass founda- ton nor can ! imagine any policy so utterly unnecessary. Our con- fidence in the assistance which we are going to get from this com munity is not based upon such consideration as those which arise out of formal treaties"
 Disposos of Rumors The foreign minister's statemen vas officially stated to have been made IS a result of his conferences during he past few days with President Will ion and Secretary Lansing. It wa: regarded as disposing fin lily of suggestions in some quarter: hat the United States might be asked O sign a treaty not to make a separ Ite peace.

The Times complains of the lack of details and contends much harm is being done by trying to minimie the facts. 1t continues:
 If fuller details were furnished the case would be found still worse. The sense of security engendered is dan gerous because it is false and a bad preparation for trials which are cer- tainly coming. It would be far better to tell the whole truth"

USE FOR MIDDLE AGED MAN
That He Is "Fit Only for the Scrap
Heap" Denied by Chicago
CAPITALIST.

To cheat the scrap heap of men
over forty-five years is the purpose of
a committee of Is large employers
recently organized in Chicago with
Benjamin J. Rosenthal, a capitalist,
at its head. The committee was or
ganized, Mr.. Rosenthal said, to upset
the fallacious theory that men between
he ages of forty-five and sixty-five
,ire fit only for the scrap heap"
"Twenty middle aged men whom we
have enlisted will be employed by one
Of the largest houses In Chicago" said
Mr.. Rosenthal. ''The head of this
house, to make an efficiency test, will
put them in the correspondence de-
partment. Alongside of them will be
20 young men and each individual
will get the same work to do.
IF they do half as much work as
the younger men they will be paid half
as much. If their efficiency is equal
to the younger mems they will receive
the same salary. Recently l took a
score of experienced middle aged men
and put them to work wrapping par
cells in large concern beside 20 young
men. They did as much work as the
younger and in some instances more"

STATE PRESS
An Apology.

"The News hereby serves notice
that if they have anything to say
hereafter about politics in the Sec
ond congressional district of YER
mont the first district newspapers
must first submit it to the editor of
the Caledonian. When the Caledon-
ian says anything about Congress-
man Dale it must be so, no matter
what it is. You fellows over in the
first district just attend to your own
business. We should think as long
as John Cushing and Howard Hind
ley had been around the state house
they would have learned by this
time they are both guilty of a bad
breach of 'Gistrictorial' courtesy. y
Northfeld News.
The Messenger admits that it has
been guilty of monstrous indiscre-
ton, to put it mildly, when it has
undertaken to point out that one
reason, perhaps, why Congrc ssman
Dale has not taken over President
Wilson's duties is because Dale is a
Republican from Vermont, while
Mr.. Wilson is a Democrat, almost an
unknown quantity in. this state.
With this Apologize The Caledonian,
would it be proper to plunge to the
extent of laying a potato against an
onjon-just to reveal to the outside
world that we fourth estaters are nc
short sports and are willing to play
for large stakes-would it be per.
missable to lay such a bet on the
proposition that Hindley is such ar
unregenerate cuss that he never will
make such a graceful apology?

The Berkeley Campanile.

The erection of 300-foot campanlle
at the University of California, at
Berkeley, Cal, has been delayed by
the lack of data on this character of
building. This project has been under
way for long time, and the unusual
nature Of the work required that the
builders should study up previous ex-
periences Of this kind and the result
was that designers and builders were
unable to find much that would be Of
value to them In the present case.
The campanile has been completed at
last, and 1t is thought to be proof
against earthquake shock. It is of
steel and REINFORCED concrete, with a
facing of granite. 1t is 803 feet high
and "a feet wide at the base.

The total area of the Canal zone,
which includes all the land and water

limit on the Atlantic and Pacific ends
Of the canal, is 4411s square miles, of
which the land area Is 1925 square
miles. The area of Gatun Lake with

448 square miles, Which was correct at
that time, but by treaty proclaimed

square miles adjoining Panama City
was coded to Panama in exchange for
two small tracts, one of them in the
city Of Colon, on which one of the de.

The same treaty gave the Panama
Canal administration control of all the
waters Of Gatun Lake outside of the

PILGRIMS War Victims.

Mohammedans from the Malay ar
chipelago, who went on pilgrimage to
Mecca to worship at the shrine of the
prophet and thereby earn the title of
"hadji" which confers lifelong distinc-
ton and eternal bliss hereafter, are
destitute and stranded in Arabia.
They are the victims of the severance
of communications brought about by
the war, and representative of the
Dutch government is being dispatched
to the port Of Jeddah to superintend
their embarkation in special ships
which the authorities are solicitously
sending thither to convey these colon
ial subjects home. About 1000 such
pilgrims were similarly repatriated
last year.

State BOarders Should Work n

The various institutions in YER
mont, run and supported by the
commonwealth, like the state prison,
the industrial school, the school for
the feeble-minded, ETC., ought to
devote especial attention this year
to the raising of every bit of food
stuff possible. They have the labor,
most of them, if not all, have the
land-and for those which haven't
plots should be hired-and there is
no reason why a drive along this
line should not be made. 1t is very
possible that the sheriffs in the sew
eral counties have confined in jail
men for whom there ordinarily is no
work, but who this year, when there
will be an abnormal demand for la
Dor, can be put to useful tasks. We
want no boarders in the Vermont
institutions unless they are physical
ly or mentally unable to work. This
is matter which necessarily should
be attended to at once.-St. Adams

Recipes for Killing Flies.

The Merchants Association of New
York has issued bulletin on Beware Of
the Dangerous House Fly" From this is
taken the following:
The United States Government makes
the following suggestion for the destruction
of house flies: Formaldehyde and sodium
salicylate are the two best fly poisons.
Both are superior to arsenic. They have
their advantages for household use.
They are not poison to children; they
are convenient to handle, their dilutions
are simple and they attract the flies
Preparation of Solutions
A formaldehyde solution of approx
matey the correct strength may be male
by adding three teaspoonfuIs of the con-
entrated formaldehyde solution, CONNER
tally known as formalin, to pint of
water Similarly, the proper concentra-
ion of sodium salicylate may be obtained
by dissolving three teaspoonfuls of the
pure chemical & POWDER to pint of
of water.
A container such as is herewith described
has been found convenient for automatic
ally keeping the solution always available
for flies to drink. An ordinary, thin-wall-
ed drinking glass is filled orpartialIy filled
with the solution. A slucer, or small
plate, in which is placed piece Of
WHITE bIotting paper cut the size OF the
dish, if put bottom up over the glass
The whole is then quickly inverted, a
match placed under the edge of the glass,
and the container is ready for use. As
the solution dries out of the liquid seal at
the edge of the glass is broken and more
liquid flows into the lower receptacle.
Thus the paper is always kept moist.
Other Simple Preventives.
Any olor pleasing to man isolfensive to
the fly and vice versa, and will drive them
away.
Take five cents worth of oil of laven-
der, mix it with the same quantity of
water, put it in a common glass atomizer
and spray it around the room where flies
are. In the diningroom spray it lavishly
even on TIE table linen The odor is very
disagreeable to flies but refreshing to
most people.
Geranium, mignonette, heliotropc and
white clover are offensive to flies. Taey
especially dislike the odor of honeysuckle
and hop blossoms.
According to a French scientist flies
have intense hatred for the color blue
Rooms decorated in blue will help to
keep out the flies

Col. Roosevelt is able to raise

months of 5000 men, and Uncle
Sam finds it slow work to get half
that number in double the time.
Wonderful personality that! Roose-

men. a man of action. The govern
ment ought to let Roosevelt's army
20 to the front. 1t would be a
mighty force, and of greater value

proud of Vermont's congressman
from the second district.

There never was a more fitting
time for national prohibition than
at present. The work the United
States has to perform in this great
war calls for the best and most effici-
ent service of the people. Moderate
drinking saps the vitality. 100 men
die among moderate drinkers to 100
among abstainers. Liquor decreases
the efficiency of labor from Is to 80
per cent. Think of it! The waste
of foodstuff going into the liquor
traffic, diverted under prohibition
to the necessities of life, would give
every one of the 100000 men in
the armies of the allies a pound loaf
of bread a day. Prohibition has
passed beyond moral issue to one
of vital need to the maintenance of
life and the efficiency of the individ-
ual. National prohibition is coming.
Godspeed the day.

At the same time the Arizona min ing industry is continuing with its constantly lengthening lead in provid- ing the main support of the state in revenues for the conduct of it's gov ernment and the expansion of roads. schools and state institution advant- ages. The increased metal output and tn ehigher prices obtained for it in the last year will add much to the assessed valuation.
