STATE NEWS
BUDGET SHOWS FEW DECREASES.
Almost Every Department in State
Government Wants Bigger ApproT
priations.

Montpelier-The committee on the
budget, operating under the law
passed by the 1915 legislature, has
prepared its report. having assembled
the estimates of the various depart
ments Of expenditures for the nex
two fiscal years, ending June 80, 1918
and 1919. The report is of double in
terest as 1t is the first time an at
tempt has been made TO make the
budget system in Vermont and be-
cause a determined effort at economy
is promised by the legislature of 1917.
The departmental estimates for the
coming two years in almost every case
call for larger Legislative appropria-
tions than the actual Expenditures Of
1915 and 1916.
The most striking increase, is that
estimated by the adjutant and in
spector generals department, at the
head of which is Gen. Lee S. Tillot-
son, of st. Adams. The estimates for
the, coming two years are practically
double what they have been for
the past two years. This represents a
part of the expense incident to the
maintenance Of Vermont's military es-
adjustment. Vermont has one regi-
ment of infantry.
The military department asks for
$l06, 1920, 600 for the next two years,
while in the former two years an
average of less than S55 5000 was re-
quired. Another increase in the mil
itary expense is found under the
heading, New Armories," 100000 be-
ing asked for 1918 and 1919, while in
1916, $3.50 va required and in 1915,
$11, 500 was appropriated for this pur-
pose. This IS an increase of over 100
per cent.
The estimates in connection with
the state schools of agriculture are
most interesting at this time, follow
ing the requests of the trustees thai
the legislature define a policy in re.
gard to agricultural education, the
broad intimation being that it is un.
necessary for the state to maintain
two schools, one at Lydon Center anG
one at Randolph Center.
The board of agriculture asks for
solid increase, from $14.155.14 in 1915
to $23,S50 in both 1918 and 1919. The
increase desired by the state forester
is a little over $1,000, but about $1,000
more is asked for in order that lands
may be purchased than was used 70.
this purpose in 1915.
The budget committee makes NJ
recommendations in it's report be
lieving it best Ito leave the full con
s%iderations of the questions involved
to the coming legislature"

Cheese Men Find Rennet Substitute

AT cheese factories in Ontario search
for n substitute for rennet has fol-
lowed the cutting off by the war of
the supply Of calves stOmachS from
Europe. Nearly MS good results are
reported from pepsin, especially scale
pepsin, which is better than the pow
dcred, and this costs only half as much
as rennct for the samG yield of cheese.
It can be used either alone or COM
blned with such rcnnet Of home pro-
duction as can be obtained. The pep
sin is dissolved in water slightly
warmed, and the factory at Finch uses
about four ounces to 1000 pounds of
milk.

Activities in Governmental circles
today virtually recognized the ex-
istence of Il state Of war between
the United States and Germany
as result of the destruction yes
terday by German submarines of
three American merchant vessels.
President Wilson personally
took command Of the situation.
He called Secretary of State
Lansing to the White House for a
conference at II a. M, and early
in the afternoon went to the Navy
Department, where he was closet
ed for some time with Secretary
Daniels.
Subsequently the announce
ment was made the President had
issued the following orders:
l. Early graduating of the two
senior classes of midshipmen at
Annapolis, one on March 20 and
the other in September.
2. Suspension of the eight
hour work day in all Government
construction plants, including the
army and navy gun factories.
3. Immediate use Of $115, ,00O,-
600 authorized by Congress to ex-
pedite the building Of ships now
being erected in Government or
private yards.
+. Immediate laying down of
60 submarine chasers in New
York Navy Yard.
Further than these prepara-
tions, no statement was forthcom-
ing in administration circles.
4Essat.ly 4Essat.ly-in the day it was reported
the President would advance the
date for convening the extra ses-
sion Of Congress, now set for
April Is, but official confirma-
ton was lacking.
Secretary Lansing took to the
White House the messages from
American consular officers re-
garding the sinking Of the City
of Memphis, the Illinois and Wig
ilancia.
They disclosed the Memphis
had been warned before she was
sunk, but that the fate Of the
captain and eight members of the
crew was still in doubt The en-
tire crew of the Illinois was safe
ly landed. No further details re-
specting the Vigilancia, which is
understood to have been sunk
without warning, had been re-
ccived up to a late hour. -Four
teen of her craw are said to be
missing.

THREE U. s. MERCHANTMEN
SUNK
None of the Three Freighters
Sunk Was Warned and All
Were Attacked Ruth
lessly.

Washington, March lS.-With
the announcement Of the destruc-
ton Of three unarmcd American
merchant ships by submarines, it
was unofficially admitted here to-
night that virtually a state Of war
exists between the United States
and Germany.
Technically the United States
remains in position Of armed
neutrality. Whether this shall be
changed before April 16, the date
fixed for Il special session Of Con-
gress, the war-making branch of
the government, President Wilson
has not decided.
One step the President is con-
tcmplating is a call for an i'm
mediate session Of Congress to
hear an address asking for au-
thority to adopt aggressive
measures against the submarine
menace.
Already the American ships
are being armed to defend them
selves. The next move must be to
send warships with orders to seek
out submarines and clear the
Transatlantic lanes.
Some of the highest officials
Of the government hold that the
executive has the power to de-

BUTLER, MISSOURI THURSDAY.

Among the officials virtually
the unanimous opinion is that in
spite of the technical armed neu-
trality status of the United States
actually state of war exists as a
result Of the ruthless destruction
of American merchant ships and
the killing Of American citizens
in defiance Of international law
and of the most solemn warning
one nation can give another. The
only question is what shall be
done about it, further than the
arming Of merchantmen to resist
submarine attack if they get the
chance.
The cabinet members generally
are said to have expressed their
willingness today to support
program based on an early call
for congress and a formal declar-
alton that a state of war exists
between Germany and the United
States.
Tonight the president went to
the theater, a thing he frequently
does when he has made prelim-
mary decision on grave question
and wants distraction in order to
look at the problem anew with
freshened mind.
After the cabinet meeting
Secretary Daniels, saying that no
new naval orders had been issued,
hurried to the navy department
and went into conference with
members of the general board.
Information for further naval ac-
tipiitiess were were discussed,

clare that a state Of war exists
and to proceed with aggressive
protective steps pending the as
sembling of Congress.
There is no indication, however,
that the President will follow
that course.
Of the three ships sunk two of
them were unloaded and home
ward bound, and all were Ameri-
can owned and officered and
manned largely by American cit
izens. Mcagcr dispatches indi-
cate that all were sunk with COM
plete disregard for the safety of
those on board, and that some of
the members of the crews proba-
bly, have been lost.
Today's developments brought
the government face to face with
the problem of formulating a def
mite policy for the Nation in case
the United States actually enters
the war. This possibility was
mentioned by the President in his
inaugural address.
The vessels sunk were: The
steamer City of Memphis, Cardiff
to New York, sunk March II, by
gunfire of German submarine of
large type. The submarine re-
fused aid to crew. twenty-five
missing.
The Illinois, from London for
Port Arthur, Texas, in ballast,

out warning. Fifteen lives lost.

The only argument known to
have been advanced in official
circles against the early calling Of
congress was that the president
himself can do almost anything
possible Immediately. But in
spite of this argument the prepon-
derance of official opinion seemed
to be that congress would be
summoned as soon as possible, SO
that the full power Of the govern
ment would be assembled in
Washington.
A further step in the plans to
protect and promote American
commerce was taken after the
cabinet meeting when the federal
war risk bureau, under the direc-
ton of Secretary McAdoo, an
nounced a new policy of insuring
American ships.
Plans for organizing patrol
squadrons of privately owned
motor boats and yachts along the
Atlantic coast were discussed to-
night by Secretary Daniels and
Captain George R. MARVEL, an as
sistant for operations, who has
just returned from a trip to New
York, Boston and other coast
points to enroll available craft.
Captain MARVEL reported that he
had arranged contracts with
many owners of small speedy
boats suitable for mounting guns
and chasing submarines or patrol
ing the coast, to turn their vessels
over to the government in all

could be learned had not finally
determined upon the course to be
pursued. The prevailing belief
was that he would announce the
