TREND OF POPULATION.

. When city people stop long enough
to think about the social and econom.
ic problems that confront them, and
when they consider the great mass OF
needy people living in tenements,
their first impulse is to say, Tets
send them to the country"
This would be an easy way out were
1t not for the fact that the country
has troubles enough of its own and
that you cannot get city people-no
matter how poor they may be-to go
to the farm. The human element in
this problem is actually the most i'm
portant.
And this situation is becoming more
complex. In ten years the population
of our country increased d per cent.
During the same period population in
cities Of $4,000 and over, increased IS
per cent. Whereas, the population OF
the country districts increased only
about II per cent.
One-tenth Of the population Of this
country lives in the three cities Of
New York. Philadelphia and Chicago.
More than one-half the people in New
York state live in New York City.
The increase of population in our
cities is really world movement.
The cities of Canada are growing
more rapidly than those in the United
States-and Canada is an agricultural
country.

college there are 600 students who will

OUR PROBLEM.

Should Germany unleash her sub
marine cruisers in relentless wal
against trade between America and
the allied nations, Uncle Sam would
face the most serious and delicate M
val problem in his history
Just as Uncle Sam has had to patrol
the Mexican border, he would have
to guard his entire Atlantic coast
against violation of neutrality.
1t would be up to our sea-tghters
to patrol more than 5000 miles OF
territorial waters. Their duty would be
not only be to protect our rights, hut
to rescue hundreds of pass, lgers left
in open boats. Il
How could our navy deal with this
situation? Would we be able 10 say
to the European fleets, keep off,"
and back up the order with patrol
ing fleet strong enough and fast
enough to compel them to 'respec1 our
word?
With the allied fleet the problem
would not be so difficult. Tive ships
now patroling the Atlantic lanes are
mostly fast cruisers. Neithe- England
nor France would send over subma-
rines to combat Germany's undcr"a.
ter vessels; for submarines cannot
cope with their own kind.
But the problem Of preserving our
neutrality against a submarine squad
ron is one hundred times more COM
plicated. Every nook and Granny Of
the coast would have to be watched to
prevent raiders from establishing
bases on our shores and finding ref
uge in our harbors.
Only the swiftest of destroyers and
light cruisers could attempt this work.
OF fast cruisers we have so few they
hardly enter into the proposition.
Therefore, we should have to depend
almost wholly on destroyers.
We have in service about so Of
these craft speedy enough to be OF
any use. Most of these are on our
Atlantic coast. They are rated at
from % to 80 nautical miles an hour.
But this is their highest speed. For
long patroling cruises they could not
steam constantly at more than 81 nau-
tical miles.
Destroyers, like racehorses, are deli.
cate. They need frequent overhauling
and repairs. This would greatly dis.
count the time they could spend at
sea. Coaling would also keep them
tied up at frequent intervals,
BY straining their capacity to the
utmost, it is doubtful if they could
properly patrol more than one-third of
our Atlantic coast. We would be de-
pendent upon Germany's word that
the neutrality of our coasts and ports
would not be violated.

of the tea, put cup of boiling water

ON TRAIL OF AUTO OWNERS.
Secretary of State Says They Must Seek
Registration on First Days Cars Are
Operated on Highway.

Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey of
Essex Junction has sent to every auto
mobile dealer in Vermont a letter stat
ing that reports have come from various
sources that parties have bought cars
and are operating them on the highways
under temporary numbers, anticipating
that they may be able to defer applying
for registration until Aug /, thereby be-
ing entitled to reduced rate. He says
the idea is erroneous, that person must
apply for registration the same day the
car is operated ON "A highway, regardless
of the fact that temporary numbers are
attached to it, and that a person who
applies for registration on or after Aug.
must execute an affidavit that he has
not operated the car on highway prior
to that date. He also says that sub
agents must take out separate registra
tions. He has enclosed a copy of the
letter to every sheriff, deputy sheriff, con
stable and police officer asking their CO.

MORE CALUMNY.

Breathitt county, Ky, the name of
which has almost gone into the language,
had the distinction of not participating
in the draft at all. Its quota as fixed by
the state was 1872, but it had already fur
nished 2l2 volunteers for the regular
army, or more than twice as many as the
whole state of Vermont, with about
twenty times the population of Breathitt
county.-New York World.
The Reformer has answered derogatory
comments on Vermont's part in volunteer
recruiting so often that it is hardly nee
essary to make an explanation here in
the home field but it hurts to have a
great paper of national circulation like
The World continue to take false state
ment as its text in throwing ink bombs
which place this state in the Stacker
class. Breathitt county is deserving of
all the praise the World can give it. 1t
is one of about a dozen exemption dis
tricts in the entire country to which
the draft for the first increment of the
new national army does not apply.
Another district is Windham county,
Vermont, of which Brattleboro is the
commercial center Before the draft
took place Windham county had fur
nished in the regular army and National
Guard 255 men from population of less
than $1,000. The quota for this county
was 24l. Windham almost equalled the rec
ord of Breathitt county and was ahead
of any other district in New England
or in New York state.
Vermont's contribution to war service
is over 1000 men and officers In the Ma
tional Guard, between 200 and 300. in the
regular army, 467 in the navy and over
ice, without mentioning the large con-
tingent which went over the border long
ago to enlist with the Canadian troops
More than 80 Vermonters have been
killed or seriously wounded somewhere in
France while fighting with the British
forces against the Hun Vermont stands
seventh among all the states of the
Union on men enlisted in the National
Guard and regular army, and if the total
in service in all fields of action and ac-
tivity could be figured it would undoubt-
eddy stand first.
We respectfully request the World to
give this statement of fact the same pub
LEFTY that was given in the false and
misleading paragraph quoted above.

Warmly Praises Work of Secretary
of State.

Announcement was made some weeks
ago that Guy w. Bailey, secretary of
state, had arranged to retire from Office
to accept the newly position of
controller, or virtually business manager,
of the University of Vermont. 1t now
appears that Mr.. Bailey plans to leave his
state position at the end of August. His
letter to Gov. Graham, made public to-
day, reads as follows: II hereby tender
my resignation as secretary of state to
take effect at the close of the business
day August 3lst, 1917"
Gov. Graham, in letter Wednesday,
replied to Mr. Bailey as follows
Il have your letter enclosing your res
ignation as secretary of state, to take eff
feet at the close of business. August 81.
1T is with great regret that | accept

The man of the hour in Russian il
Kerensky, and momentOus issues depend
upon his ability to keep the elements of
revolt against the authority of organized
government from getting the upper hand.
He has a titanic task to hold up the
spirit of loyalty in the army, and to cope
with internal disorders at the same time.
His flaming spirit seems to be equal for
the test, and if it were possible for him
to be in two places at the same time his
labors would not be in vain. With his
presence working like magic in Petro-
grad the trouble there faded away. and

the rebellious troops back into the fight

The new national army, selected by
draft, is based upon the principle that
every man owes duty to his country
and to the government under which he
has lived in peace and security. When
congress decided to draft an army the
principle of universal military service
was adopted and ratified. If we had rec
ognized this principle or been awake to
the need of it years ago, there would
have been no occasion for CONSUMPTION
today CONSUMPTION is an emergency
measure for the purpose of raising such
an army as would have been ready il we
had established the custom of training
all our young men for military service
The lesson fer the future is obvious.

Makes Record Trip.

made July - what was perhaps rec
ord climb. The party went by automo-
bile into Smugglers Notch rs far as the
big boulder and then climbed up the
path made by the boulder when it slid
down the mountain few years ago. The
man ahead climbed from another man S
shoulders and then dropped a rope for
the others to climb by. In many places
there was a sheer drop of many hun
dred feet, where misstep would have
meant death. The trip from the point
where the boulder left the cliff to the
chin was nearly as PERCEPTIONS and was
difficult travelling on account Of the
denseness of scrub spruces which grow
there. A small lake was discovered half
way between the lake in the clouds and
the north end of the ridge. From there
the party continued up over the chin to
the nose and then to the Barnes camp
ON the long trail. Several parties have
attempted the same trip but so far as
known the above named are the first to
complete it.

that 1884 cars have been licensed up

purposes its development and use has
reached a point where it is considered
a necessity in the despatch of business.
The amount received by this state in
fees has reached the total of $30S,00
