Germany,s Insult to Japan.

Since Germany. on the slightest of pre-
texts, forced China to sign away her
rights in Kiao-chou in 1905, the
contempt Of the German govern
ment for Asiatics has been shown in
many ways. The insulting references Of
the kaiser to the yellow peril in his
farewell address to the German squad
ron sailing for the east in 1900; the con
temptuous illusions to the Japanese par
ticipation in the war; the ignoring of
the Japanese ultimatum of August, 1914;
the howl of rage tnat went up from ''eiv-
ilized" Germany when she found England
was employing her loyal Asiatic troops
in Europe; all of these were but mani
festations of the heights of contempt
from which Germany viewed all Asiat-
les.

EXCITING CONTEST
WAS WON BY THE
SPAULDING GIRLS
Defeated Montpelier Seminary Quintet
After Two Over Time Periods
Had Been Played.

After playing FIVE periods of the fast
est basketball displayed by girls teams
in Barre for several years, the Spauld-
ing high school girls won from the Mont
pelier seminary girls quintet last even
ing at the Spaulding gymnasium by a
score of 0 to before a small but en-
thusiastic crowd, which kept the, girls
spirits up by continual cheering.
1t would pass for the most nerve,
raeking game of the season without a
doubt, as the teams were very evenly
matched, and, but for the wonderful
playing of the guards ON both fives, the
score might have been run up much
higher There was nothing slow about
the contest.
Miss Averiil of Spaulding received a
bad bump in the last period, when she
ran into the wall on the south side of
hall, which knocked her unconscious,
necessitating her being carried off the
floor. She was able to sit up after the
game, and was finally in condition to go
home.
After three periods of ten minutes
each with the score tie, it was decided
to play the tie off with five minute Pc
RODS. At the close of the first over
time PERIOD neither five had been able
to make counter. At this point, the
Montpelier team was going to leave the
floor with the score tie, but the officials
showed the Montpelier management
where the game would be forfeited to
Spaulding if the visitors did not re-
turn to the floor and play until the tie
was broken.
The final score for Spaulding was made
soon after the toss up when Miss Gee
took the sphere on good pass and |
Iooped the ball for counter nine. In |
the last minute of play, Spaulding |
fouled, and Miss Aldrich dropped her |
second through the cage, making the
score stand 0 to s in Spaulding's favor
when the final whistle blew The score
s as follows:

Other Sins than Germany S
OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is amazing to me to see that The
Tribune, on most subjects so fair minded
can accuse our American pscfsts of sym
patty with Germany. These men and wom
en- cannot find enough ways to expires their
disapproval Of society founded on a mill
tary plan, Of wars not in self-defence. Of
muzzled press and of the conscripting of
citizens by a government Does this leave
any doubt about their attitude toward the
whole German ideal?
If we read the platform of the Peoples
Council, with which two Of your list of
racifsts are connected, we find that they
stand for "ro forced anucXations. no punt
tive indemnties. the right Of nations, large
and small, to free development" Does this
sound as though they would like TO see Ger
man terms forced on the Allies?
There is no necessity for radical groups
to spend their time in calling attention to the
sins of Germany The whole country is on
the watch for these, and they are blatant
enough not to pass unnoticed There is on
the other hand, some danger that we come 70
see ourselves, and our allies, too, white by
contrast, and 1t can do us no harm TO be re-
minded that other nations than Germany
have waged unjustifabe wars, have failed
to respect small and helpless nations, that
even rape and pilagc were known before

The Old Market Basket Again

If the advice of the commercial economy
board Of the Council of National Defence
be carried out, this country is likely to see
a revival Of the market basket habit among
housewives. In addition to urging the
adjustment of the return privilege for
goods purchased, the economy board wants
merchants, even down to retail grocers, 10
curtail greatly their delivery systems. It
wants purchasers TO carry home all small
purchases in order to permit this reduction.
An investigation of the situation the
country over, recently made by the board,
showed that about 100000 men are en-
ployed in the delivery of merchandise pur-
chased from retail establishments. The
delivery expense for department stores
averages about per cent of the net sales.
For small establishments, such as retail
grocery stores, the cost of deliveries is
somewhat leSs-about per cent of the
sales. The economy board believes it would
be quite possible for the big stores TO make
only one delivery day over each route
and to eliminate special deliveries alto
gether 1t thinks the small stores also
could cut down deliveries to one day, in
stead of four or five a day, which is their
present average.
All this would necessitate careful buy
ing-buyng ahead. according to plan, in

A Matchless Antiseptic
,From The London Morning Posu

,From The London Morning Posr
The discovery of the antiseptic properties
Of favine is the greatest development in the
science of chemico-therapy which has been
made since the discoveries Of Cohn and
Pasteur and the application of the antisep-
tic treatment to surgery by Lister. But Lis
ter's treatment was solely designed to pre-
vent micro-organisms from entering the
body: and to that end he used such sub
stances as carbolc acid, which, while they
DESTROYED micro-organisms, also destroyed
tissue.
II is the property of havine, alone among
antiseptics, to destroy micro organisms
without affecting the most delicate tissue,
and TO be reinforced instead of weakened by
the serum. so that il can be used to disinfect
the internal organs and can also be injected
into the blood. "When tested on staphylo-
cocci favine is about twenty times more pow
erful than mercury perchlorde, and about
500 times more powerful than carbolic acid
or chloramine-T as a bactericide.'

while they claimed in fact the
right to speak for the great majority of
lrishmen to-day.
A special correspondent of "The Man
chester Guardian" in Ireland was strongly
urging the release of the Irish prisoners a
few weeks ago. "The belief in National
list quarters is" he wrote, "that if this IS
done the released men will prove most
valuable restraining influence, and that
with their arrival the mischief makers
who have been masquerading in their
clothes will disappear. There may be diff
fculties in the way OF these things, but
they should be tried" If he was right
about the Nationalists, this is further evil
