cided in two straight games. the scores

ASKS RELEASE OF sWEDE MAIL
State Departments Request Regard
ing Bags Seized BY Britain.

The State Department, at the request
of the food administration. has asked
the British government to release the
three bags of Swedish mail seized at
Halifax on the steamer that brought
Dr.. Lundhohm, a member of the Swed-
ish economic mission, to this country.
The pouches are at the British embassy
here. with their seals intact
Sweden is understood to insist that the
pouches must be delivered to the Swed-
ish legation without being examined. as
they Were in transit as courier" or
official mail, while the British authori-
ties desire to examine the mail at the
embassy here.
Food administrator Hoover explained
to the State Department that the statis-
tics asked for from the northern Eu-
ropean neutrals had been received from
every country except Sweden, and that
it was impossible to reach a decision re-
garding exports to these countries until
the Swedish figures are available. Sta
tistics as to Sweden trade are in the
mail pouches held by the British.

quest of Senator Fletcher. In this ad-
dress he stated:
There are two ways now in which
peace can be made. The first Is by po-
litical revolution in Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary. 1t Is not for us to de-
fine the nature of that revolution.
The other path to peace is by the
definite defeat of every item in the
program of aggression. This will mean.
at a minimum, demonstration on the
field that the German army is not in
vincible: renunciation by Germany
of all the territory she has conquered: /:
a special compensation to Belgium. and
an acknowledgement of the fallacy OF
e elusive nationalism by an application
for membership in the league Of ma
tions.
Frontier questions. colonial Ques-
ttons, are now entirely secondary. and
beyond this minimum program the
United States has no direct interest in
the territorial settlement. The objects
for which We are at war will be at
tained If we can defeat absolutely the
foreign policy of the present German
government"

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS.
The Large and Puxzling Part "Man
Failure" Plays In Them.

Close observers are nat astounded by
the statement made at safety" meet
ing that 10 per cent only Of industrial
accidents are due to machine failures,
the remaining 80 per cent being wholly
chargeable to man failure"
Students, however, will not be salts
fed with the simple statement, but will
want to know something more, espe-
cially as 70 conditions that contribute TO
this appallingly large percentage charg
ed directly to mans share in the fault.
1t will not do TO say that in each in
stance wanton carelessness Is blame
able. Psychologists are no longer con-
tent with that explanation. but are go
ing deeper into the causation of acct
dents. seeking TO determine just why
the normal mental processes at times
break and the interrupted coordination
between brain and body ends in disas-
ter.
In the matter of interpreting railway
signals, for example, it has been set up
that registered impressions vary as TO
individuals and that likewise individ-
uals react In different ways to the i'm
pressions given.
Emergencies invariably arise In the
operations Of modern industry similar
to those in the transportation service.
and, while the safety device may work
with mechanical accuracy, the human
factor cannot be depended upon

cial appropriation to cover the cost. II
is duty of Vermont to support Norwich

lington Clipper.
Well said, Mr.. Clipper There is no
institution in the country to-day that
the people should be more willing, and
even anxious to see pushed along. The
activities at Norwich university are GER
tainly in evidence. The push that Col.
Reeves is giving the institution should
be recognized in substantial way.
Whatever they are asking for up there
should come through with ease, This in
stitution is one OF the most important
in the country to-day, when prepared
ness is being talked of all over the
country. This Is an institution where
young men are trained in military
science, and later will fit in substantially
with the country's needs, and they will
need them. Whether needed or not the
education along military lines is essen
tial, and should not be lost sight of.
Let everybody get behind Norwich uni
versity and help it. Those doing this are
backing mighty fine institution, and
one that is not only being heard from at
the present time, but is making for the
future military needs of the country. All
up for Norwich. She is worthy of it,

Goldfish viii Eat Anything.

The cod has the reputation of being
as omnivorous as the goat. whose APP
petite for posters and old tin cans is
the subject of frequent jests. The va
ried nature of what the cod swallows
is not more remarkable than the enor-
nous quantity. According TO a writer
in the Scotsman, such articles as sill
YER brooches, clasp knives, books and
rubber balls have been found In Its
stomach. One fisherman Of Aberdeen
has stone that weighs more than a
pound taken from a cod that had swsl-
lowed 1t for the sea anemones with
which It was covered. The same fish
erman has also found specimens OF al
most all the stalk eyed crustaceans
that frequent the northeast coast OF
Scotland and of every kind Of fish that
cod can master, including its own
young. Cod have been known to swal-
low partridges, guillemots and hares.

On Public Safety.

Governor Reyes selection for the com
mittee of 100 on public safety is al
once an enlistment OF the brains, the en-
ergy and the wealth of New Hampshire
for the states war service, and an appeal
to the confidence of the men and wor-sn
OF the commonwealth.
The situation demands an official au.
thorized organization of influential men
to cooperate with the authorities in or
ganizing New Hampshire for war. There
will be work enough for volunteer or
ganiza tions of all sorts, but in order that
activities may be co-orinated and the
full resources of the state brought into
effective operation a central body in i'm
mediate touch with the executive is es-
sential. And it need not be said that
this committee should be composed of
the best men the state has at its dis
posal
The governor has met all the recEire-
ments of the situation. The public will
impose the fullest confidence in
the men of his choice. There can be
no question at all that from the moment
when this committee gets into action
the defense campaign will rapidly take
shape and will be pushed with vigor.
Every former governor will bring his
executive experience into this work be-
sides the personal qualifications which
carried him to the governorship. Ev-
cry mayor in New Hampshire will bring
his official as well as personal resources
into the campaign. The master of the
state grange brings to the committee
personal ability and official influence of
frst-rate consequence. The president of
Dartmouth college brings personal quail
ities of the highest value besides the
spirit of the greatest institution over
which he presides. The president of the
of Labor can make a fine CON
to the work that lies ahead
But the list speaks for itself. 1t rep
resents a mobilization of the men who
10 things. Financiers, merchants, man
lfscturers, engineers, educators, editors, !
men in the learned professions, farmers
N sum, men representing all the con
'tructive activities OF an American com !
are enrolled for the present |
yreat business Of the state and nation.
The committee is compact of brains
md energy. Under It's leadership the
PEOPLE may confidently put themselves

ional evidence Of the fact that must
