to de everything possible to ac-

The telegram states that each "com.
munity' must subscribe, not that the
banks should do it all. and the banks
can not do it alone. Bank resources
are taken as measure Of a commune
ity's ability to subscribe which means
that the people of this county who do
their banking business in Marshall
town must invest half million In
government war bonds. The bonds will
pay 81 per cent. interest. and are ex.
empt from taxation. so that they are
better than per cent loan, which is
taxable. If the government should later
put out an issue of bonds at a higher
rate of interest, these bonds can be
exchanged for bonds at the higher rate.

No More Negotiations.
New York WORLDLY

There is neither merit nor sclfrespect
IN further negotiations with the Ger
man government.
We have been negotiating for two
years, and with what result We are
today confronted with situation more
ruthless, more Infamous and more Grim
inal than that which we faced in Feb
ruary, 1915, when the United States gov
eminent first announced its intention to
hold the German government to "a
strict accountability for the lawless-
ness of its submarine commanders.
Further warnings are worse than
worthless, for they invite derision and
contempt.
On April 10, 1916, President Wilson,
in the presence of the congress Of the
United States, told the German govern
ment what he purpOsed to do ''unless
the Imperial government should now inn
/ mediately declare and effect an aban-
/ donmcnt of its present methods of war
fare against passenger and freight car
/ rving vessels. He said the government
/ of the United States could ''have no
choice but to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with the government of the Ger
man empire altogether.
! Germany has now cancelled the Sus
sex pledge which was given to meet the
! President S insistent demands, and
adopted form of submarine warfare
more barbarous than anything against
which we have hitherto protested. II

Windsor is another illustration of
the old saying that nothing succeeds
like success. The growth of it's ma
chine shop interests has fll'd every

mand for more homes a building loan
association has been formed for the
purpose Of erecting large number of

mcnt comes the statement that the
Vermont Dairy company of Manches-
ter. this state has leased the property
Of the Vermont Canning company at
Windsor and will build u2 a large
business in buying cream and milk from
the farmers, pastcurizing it and send

company expects to do a business of at
\ least 100000 a year in Windsor.

NAP LEON BONA PARTE
Howard LRdnn

One hundred and fortv-nine years
ago today Napoleon Boaaparte, the
popular and industrious conqueror,
was born on the island of Corsica.
His father was lawyer with a good
probate business, but he was a poor
collector and did not leave Napoleon
much Of anything except some SUI
preme court decisions, which are still
being used with great effect.
After attending military school
Napoleon joined the French army and
rose from the ranks, which at that time
were considerably ranker than they are
now. He then made up his mind TO
conquer a few of the surrounding ma
tions and started off with Italy and
Austria. For this brave act he was
made First Consul, a position cor
responding with the office Of Neighbor
Consul in the NJ. w. 4.
About this time Napoleon took his
army to Egypt and wrestled it from
the Turks, killing several thousand at
4 the foot of the Pyramids. On return
/ ing home he found that France needed

Metzger's Woman S Suffrage Bill.
(St. Adams Messenger

Rev. Frazer Metzger, representative
Of Randolph i'll the general assembly
who in 1912 led the Progressive party
IN this state as candidate for governor
has introduced bill which would con-
fer on Vermont women, with some
minor qualifications, the right to vote
for presidential electors. In brief, he
would confer on the women of this
state the privileges that the women
have III so many western common
wealths. There is nothing unreason
able about the measure, as the Messen-
ger looks at it, and there is much that
can be said in its favor. The West is
outvoting the East, and the fact that
women have the presidential ballot in
that section will, by its own force,
eventually overcome all objections and
secure for Eastern women the privilege
of voting for candidates to the elec'
toral college The equal suffrage ques
ton cannot be lodged at this session

neutral nations of Europe. Berlin does
not call 1t war, but war it is. American
ships are practically barred from the
Atlantic ocean. American commerce is
prohibited. American citizens sail the
sea at their own risk and are to be
treated as enemies by German sub
marine commanders. Non-combatants
are to be shot and drowned as 1t suits
Germany s military necessities to shoot
and drown them. A state of maritime
nihilism has been proclaimed by the In
perial government, and nihilism IS the
negation of all law.
SO far as the United States is con
cerned, there is nothing further to dis
cuss with Berlin. The attitude OF the
United States toward ruthless subma-
rine warfare was defined in terms of an
ultimatum on April 10. 1916, and moth
