Vienna Comment Curbed.

VIENNA, February 20, via London,
February 22.-The newspapers this
morning publish tho full text of the
American aide memoire handed to
Count Czernin Won Chudenitz, the
Frederick c. Penield, tho American
ambassador, yesterday morning. The
text of the document was accompanied
by an official statement that the Amer
lean government requested information
concerning the Austro-Hungarian gov
erHments attitude as to assurances
given in its notes dealing with the
sinking of the steamers Ancona and
Persia. 1t is stated that the communi-
cation will be examined in the light Of
International law and then answered.
| The newspapers generally refrain
from commenting on the American
communication, but those who do COM
ment, do SO in the mi1dest sense. The

the government to consider the Amer

PETROCRAD AGAIN
CALM FOLLOWING
REBEL OUTBREAK

London, March 16-Deputy Keren-
sky, the new Russian minister of JUS
tice, has decided to frame a measure
of general political amnesty, accord
ing to a Petrograd dispatch to Reu-
ter's, dated Thursday. The Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander in the
Caucasus, has telegraphed President
Rodzianko of the duma that, in ac-
cordance with Gen. Alexieff, chief of
staff. he had asked the emperor, in
order to save Russia and bring the
war to a successful end, to take the
only step possible in the present fate

Calm has been quickly restored in

The dispatch says that when the SOL

had great difficulty in calming the

generals epaulettes be torn off. The
former minister submitted quietly to

WEST POINT

Graduates and undergraduates of
the United States Military Academy
at West Point will celebrate today the
18TH anniversary of the founding of
that famous institution. They have
reason to be proud Of their alma
mater, for West Point ranks among
the greatest of the worlds military
schools, and in no other institution
do the students receive a more thor
ough training in the science of war
fare and in all the requirements that
go to the making Of an "oficer and
a gentleman"
Although the West Point school
was created by an act Of Congress
passed on March 16, 1902, this year
really marks the centenary of the in
situation as real factor in military
education. Only seventy-one students
were graduated in the first decade,
and at times the school was without
any competent instructors. In 1917
Col. Sylvanus Thayer was appointed
superintendent, and from the day a
century ago when he assumed charge
West Point became in fact what it
had previously been IN name-a real
military academy. Col. Thayer re-
IIldluGu DIT Tic u0dO OI IIl0 SCllOOl ITOIn
1877 to 1888, and Succeeded in MAX
ing the institution famous through
out the world. Col. Thayer is honor
ed by West Point men as the real
father of the schools. He was a ma
tive Of Massachusetts,, a graduate of
Dartmouth, and a military engineer Of
unusual ability. He died in 1872.
Since 1902 the whole number of
graduates from West Point has been
5,601, an average of about forty-nine
annually . While the number of grad
yates has been considerably increased
in latter years, the United States army
has seldom had enough trained offic-
ers, and that shortage is now more
than ever apparent. The entrance ex-
aminations are very difficult, and
about one-fourth Of those appointed
usually fail to pass the preliminary
examination, while of the remainder
usually about one half fall by the way
side and are unable to graduate.
The annual increments to West
Point are ninety-two from congress
sional districts, twenty-one from states
at large, one from either the District
of Columbia or the territories and five
from honor schools. By law en-
acted last May, the President is also
empowered TO appoint enlisted men
from the regular army and National
Guard, the number last year being
tweny-three from the army and
twenty-five from the militia.
The discipline at West Point is very
strict, and the cadets are subjected to
! more restrictions thA~ are officers and
soldiers of the regular army Each
summer the cadets receive practical
military instructions in camps The.
regular academic course is from the
i, first Of September to the fourth of
June. In addition to thorough in
struction in all branches of military
science, the cadets aye taught mathe-
mates. Natural and experimental
philosophy, chemistry, chemical ply
sizes, mineralogy, geology, electricity,
history, military, constitutional and
international law, civil engineering,
drawing, English, French and Span
ish The course is for four years, and
| those who succeed in graduating are
commissioned second lieutenants in
the United States army. West Point
cadets are paid $709.50 per year,
which is amply sufficient for their
support.

1t ain t nobOdy's business now

And so we d hail him after dark
And he'd slow up and chatter;

But now nobody knows who s sick,
Or if so, what s the matter.

And if we ever got him stopped
There d be a "word' regatta
For faint nobody's business now

We handle sick folks now as though
We'd trapped a dangerous satyr;
The phones get busy, then you hear
An awful bang and clatter;
A closed and guarded van bowls up,
The neighbors scoot and scatter,
And off it honks before you know
Who S sick or what S the matter.

white River Junction Landmark.)
Recently in an adjoining town the

and were sold for less than 800. Why ?
Because they belonged to that class OF
people who never pay an honest debt
nor expect to pay one if they can help
it. The prime cause of this state OF
things is the credit system AS the
cancer is to humanity so is the credit
system to the business world. Politi-
