ANOTHER GERMAN SHAM UN-
COVERED.

One of the great cries from Germany
In the early days of the war was that
Great Britain's blockade was depriving
the infants and small children of susie.
nance. Now come official statistics from
German sources showing that the NOR
tally rate among infants has shown a
steady shrinksge ever since the war be-
gan and that at the present time the
rate Of mortality among such members
of the population is the lowest ever
known. The record of infant mortality,
as compared with the births decreased
from 1873 per cent in the year 1914 to
IL per cent in 1916. These statistics
show that the German protest in behalf
Of her babies was a mere sham and that
Great Britain's blockade was not starv-
ing German babies that came into the
world. The cry that the blockade was
taking food away from babies was, il
now seems certain, merely a subterfuge
TO gain the sympathy Of the then neu-
trail world by trying to prove the in
humanity Of the British nation Thus
another deception on the part Of the
German government Is unmasked

While the reports received from Pet
rograd do not show that the regiment
composed of Russian women has fought
better than the Russian men, emphasis
is laid on the assertion that the women
stood their ground just as well as the
men have done in the present debaele OF
the whole Russian line. With little
more experience under gunfre the Rus
sian women may yet prove to be the in
centive to more valorous deeds by their
male comrades in arms, albeit the idea
of women soldiers in the trenches will
never meet with worldwide approval.
The fact remains that no matter what
other fields of activity the women may
enter, the fighting line in battle is not
the place for them. They can, however,
do very effective work just behind the
fighting line, caring for the wounded
men returning from the battle That
work is along lines for which they are
very well fitted.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Comment on the Quarantine.

, Editor, Times: Since the outbreak O
one case of infantile paralysis in Barre
have noticed that active steps hav,
been taken to prevent the spreading O
the disease; yes, active steps, and som'
over active, in my opinion. For instance
the closing of all public amusements ant
thirst -quenching emporiums.
| was in the vicinity Of New York
City while the epidemic was at its
height Did they do as Barre is doing
You may claim that the disease had toe
firm grip upon that city to try and
prevent its spreading further. Or per-
haps you will claim that the large cit.
les cannot have the power or control of
the smaller cities in such cases. l will
try and show you examples of precau-
tions in the neighboring towns of New
York City,
| Take into consideration any small
town of that vicinity. The first steps
taken were to see that no children from
stricken town should be allowed in
a town that only had a few or no cases
of the disease. Furthermore, no children
were allowed to leave the town and pass
through or visit a stricken town and
then return to their homes. Neither were
children from these towns, stricken or
not stricken, allowed to pass through
that town without a doctors certificate,
showing that they were not carriers of
the disease.
Now, as to soda fountains and public
amusements, the former were not dis
turbed in the least The latter were
closed to all children, but not to adults.
This plan was carried out in nearly all
towns or districts having cases of the
disease.
1t is taking away too much from the
people. Barre, with one case, takes
great precautions not to have it spread,
but did not take precautions to prevent
it entering the town. This shows that
some person or persons did not look over
the way they treated such matters in
the vicinity of New York last year, but
jumped right up and became er.zealous
in his or their attempts to prevent the
spreading of the disease. He or they do
not care if it is carried out of or into
the town, but try to prevent its spread
in the town by methods which am GER
tain are not approved of by great ma
jority of the people.
Close the places to children, but not
to adults. 1t is the former who are
the greater carriers of the disease and
not the latter. Take precautions to pre-
vent its further spread throughout the
state and in Barre by stopping children
from a stricken district from entering
Barre or Barre child to leave its home
and visit stricken district or elsewhere
without the certificate of physician,
showing that the child is not carrier of
the disease.
Hoping to see this letter in print,
Thank you in advance,
T. A. B.

The state of Vermont has begun an
inquiry into the misuse OF automobile
registration plates and is sending out an
appeal to the people of the state to co
operate in the work. There is no doubt
that there is much evasion of the law in
the use of number plates which are not
lawful, namely, the continued use of
temporary plates and the use of deal
ers' numbers by those not legally per-
mitted to use those numbers. Co-opera-
tion on the part of police officials and
the people would soon wipe out the eva
sion of the law in all parts of the state
and place all motor drivers on the same
basis of financial obligation to the COM
monwealth.

The agitation against peddlers wht
may be possible spies has resulted in on'
good thing at. any rate-the severe fin
ing of man who attempted to peddlt
his wares without license. No suspi
cion of spying attaches to the man fined
but he was explicitly disobeying the law
and interfering with the legitimate trade
of home merchants who help to pay the
burden of maintaining home institutions
Therein the warning issued by State Tax
Commissioner Plumley has resulted well
Let the same kind of treatment be ac-
corded to all others who try similar

Trolley Company Not Paying
Proposition.

Editor of the Barre Times: I note in
your issue of July 18th an article rela.
tive to the franchise situation and in
the same a reference to a statement
made by officials of the company, "a
fortnight ago" to the effect that the COM
pany has during the past two years
emerged from the slough of deficit TO a
plane where in the past six months the
road has been paying proposition.
As the statement above referred TO
was made by myself, wish through the
columns of your paper to correct an i'm
preston which was apparently gained
by what | did say, but which was nei-
Their intended nor warranted by the sctu-
al facts.
What | said was that in the past six
months the road had made little mon
ey; and it is fact that during the
twelve months ending June 80, 1917, the
road has met its operating expenses, in
terest and taxes out of its earnings, and
has small balance left.
Ii is also a fact, however, that the
company has an actual unsecured debt
for money borrowed amounting to about
$4,000, on which il is in arrears for in
terest payments to the extent of S., 500
lin addition 10 which it has accounts
due and payable of about $1,000. OF the
$1,000 borrowed, nearly $4,000 is repre-
sented by money which the company has
been obliged to secure to provide for
maintenance and to meet the deficit in
CURED in operating the road. Consider
ing the further fact that not cent has
been used, nor is any available, for pay
ing interest on the actual capital invest
ed, nor any sum laid aside for reserves
of any kind, it scarcely seems that any
one could regard the road as a paying
proposition.
This Is without making any allowance
for proposed improvements on South
Main street, the share Of the company
in which, according to the estimate.
would be about $4,000.
