SWITZERLAND Is
CONSERVING COAL
Steps Have Been Taken None Too Soon
Germany's Contribution Has Fallen
Considerably Short of the
Promised Minimum.

Berne, Nov. Correspondence of
the Associated Pressl Switzerland has
at last attacked the problem of economic
ing its meagre coal supply. 1t has be-
gun none too soon and apparently none
too strenuously, for Germauy's initial
delivery for September under the new
economic agreement has fallen many
thousands of tons short of the promised
i minimum Of 100000. 1t is scant salts
faction for Switzerland that its loan to
Germany is reduced accordingly.
| In anticipation of having to struggle
along with 100000 tons or less of coal
month 1.-the Swiss government has cut
to the bone the railroad traffic, raised
rates and made it so difficult and so ex-
pensive to travel that only necessity is
apt to induce a Swiss to move from one
part of his tiny country to another. The
government also has issued drastic reg
ulations governing heating. The sale
of certain types of electric stoves was
forbidden, while electricians were forbid
den to install new switches and lines
such as would be necessary for utilizing
stoves. Hotels and pensions may heat
only one quarter of their rooms and must
close their cafes and restaurants at IL
instead of ! o'clock. The hours of open
ing stores are reduced.
The movies, cabarets, and variety the
aires must close at least twelve DAYS out
of each month. The temperature of the,
aires or of hotels must not exceed a
certain degree. Restaurants and cafes
have to lop off the best two hours of
their business by early closing, and are
forbidden to serve warm meals before
o o'clock in the morning.
II coal were Switzerland's only short /
age, she would face the winter with some |
degree of equanimity. But she Is run
ming short of food all along the line. OF I
-four and breadstuffs she has just enough, |
on the $50 grams a day per person basis
now i'm force, to last until late in the
winter. Unless America permits the ex-
port of wheat in some measure Swtzer-
land will soon have to drop to 100 grams
a day.
The economic department of the gov
has just issued circular call
ing attention TO the fact that, in addition
to shortage of coal and wheat, there is
al too little cooking fats and oils ON
hand. In some districts they have dis

NEW ENGLISH INDUSTRY.
Manufacturing of Dyes Has Proven Sue

London, Nov. 27,-The manufacturing
of dyes in Great Britain and supplying
the British trade which heretofore had
been dependent almost entirely ON Ger
many has proved very successful, accord
ing to the report of a company subsidized
by the government for that purpose.
The production of dyes continues TO be
limited by the shortage of certain mate
rails, but the supply has been increased
during the year and the variety of dyes
extended. Cooperation among dye man
ufaeturers Is urged to increase the out
put of dyes and the need of further cap
ital is emphasized by the fact that the
recently published accounts of five of the
German dye manufacturing firms show
assets amounting to f35,000,000, inelud-
ing cash resources of ten millions.

PROPOSALS FOR PEACE

eminent.

Petrograd, Nov. 27.-Lenine's peace
proposals appeared yesterday to have
started a dangerous break in the struc-
ture of the Bolsheviki government.
Even the Bolsheviki-dominate Soviet
showed dissatisfaction with the offers
Deputy kamineff suggested there be no
proclamation of peace unless the Ger
mans promised not to withdraw their
troops now on the Russian fronts, for
use against the allies on other lines.
Other Soviet delegates openly remon
strated that the executive committee Of
the workmens and soldiers delegates
was not consulted by Lenine or Trotsky
on the armistce plan. Bitter criticism
was voiced that dictatorial methods
should have been assumed by such pro-
chalmers of the rule of the people as
Trotsky and Lenine.
The German refusal to negotiate is
expected to ALLEVIATE many Bolsheviki
supporters.

WHEAT FROM CANADA.
Is Being Imported Into United States in
Increased Quantities.

I Since April of this year wheat and
wheat flour have been imported in great
~ increased quantities from Canada.
This is attributed principally to the fact
that on April 10 Canada removed the
duty on wheat imported into that coun.
try, which action automatically admit

tariff law of 1913
According to new statistics furnished

University Of Vermont Stu
dent Union Votes in Re-
gard to Appelmann
DENIES SUPPORT
OF STATEMENTS
Made by the College Paper
Extolling the Ex-
Professor

Burlington, Nov. 27--The Student I'm
ion at the Universally of Vermont yes
terday passed resolutions in regard tt
the Appelmann affair concluding "the
time was ripe for him to depart"
The Appelmann affair, which has oc.
cupied most of the last two meetings
was probably finally settled by the adop-
ton of an amended form of the resolu-
ton introduced last week by S. L. Har-
ris, 'lS. The vote practically amounted
to an expression by the students of their
desire to maintain neutral attitude In
the matter, rejecting both the decidedly
favorable bias held by an unknown con-
tributor to the news columns of The
Cynic and the equally decided opinion
against DIR. Appelmann's desirahility ex-
pressed in certain parts of the resolution
as first presented.
The final draft of the resolution, after
amendments proposed by Hammer, IS,
and Chesley, 10, had been adopted, was
passed by unanimous vote. 1t reads
as follows;
"Realizing that we are at war with
Germany, that DR., Appemann is Ger,
man citizen, and that our student publi-
cation, The Vermont Cynic, of Noyem-
Der II, 1917, made certain statements IN
its news columns that might be con-
strued by its readers as an expression Of
the whole student body, instead Of a
sentiment of few who came in close
touch with DR.. Appemann, as scholar,
a teacher, and man, and also realizing
that these utterances in The Cynic will
be quoted near and far as the frank and
honest opinion of this student body, we
as students of the University of Yer
mont and members of the Student union
do hereby withhold our Endorsement of
the following extracts from our paper,
that
a. Without a doubt Doctor Appel |
mann was one of the most popular pro-
fessors that the university ever had
-. He was held in high esteem by
all
%. He has done much for the uniyer
sity.'
a. Never has the departure of pro
fessor caused such feeling among the
students. (Inferring from context
feeling of sorrow and deep concern)'
"5 1t is with the deepest regret that
the students see Dr. Appelmann go
"On the contrary, we believe that his
popularity was not general because he
was not known by even majority of
the students; that he was held in high
esteem by those who admired and loved
him as teacher and scholar and not i
in high esteem by all; that his presence
among us has been source of criticism
directed uniustly at our university and
at its president; that the departure of a
professor has never given rise to such a
feeling of relief among the students here
and finally, admiring as we
do his untiring efforts to place our Ger
man department on higher plane than
it is in most institutions; recognizing as
we do his ability as a scholar and a
teacher his exceptional intellect and his {
character as professor and gentleman, 1
we still believe that circumstances had S
rendered his further service with us I'M t
wise and that the time was ripe for him d

Take Down Your Tattered Flag.

tBy Pauline Worth Hamblin of The
Yigilantes.
All over this country there are now
flying faded, tattered flags.
If we do not respect the flag ourselves
whom shall we expect to respect it,
The Stars and Stripes are our emblem.
Shall it appear that we consider dirt and
tatters symbolic of our county, Never!
Our flag should be as white as the SHOWS,
as blue as the skies, as red as our blood
and as whole as our hearts, Let it be
truly symbolic and when a flag becomes
bedraggled take it down. If you cannot
put up another be happy in the conscious
ness that you honor it far more by not
flying il at all than by flying it when
it is faded, ragged and dirty.
