More than 1000 boys in greater New

prominent men in various parts of the
country asking for details and offering
their services to assist in the move
ment. Officers and non-commissioned
officers of the U. s. Navy and Marine
Corps, doing recruiting duty through
out the country, have volunteered to
act as drillmasters for the troops that
will be formed in the cities where they
are located.
By the last Of May, 1917, we expect
to have troops established in all the
large cities throughout the United
States, declares Mr.. Ira w. Irving, the

FIELD STAFF CONTEMPLATED

Definite action looking to the putting
of field force at work has been taken
by the Eastern States Exposition of
Springfield, Mass. This follows sew
eral conferences since the adoption a
short time ago by the directors Of the
operating program which grow out Of
the great farm and business confer
cnce last September.
Designed to do for all New England
and the eastern states what the county
league does for its county, the exposi-
tion has made surveys and inquiries,
now nearly completed. The definite
result has been the appointment Of
special committee few days ago,
which will within a short time report
detailed plan for the organization
and operation Of a field staff and Office
force.
The projects adopted for promotion
include marketing, farm management,
boys and girls club work, home eco
nomlcs and closer cooperation be-
tween farmers and other business men.
1t is understood that the marketing
problem will be first attacked and then
the others as rapidly as circumstances
will permit.

Report on Industrial School
A report on the condition Of the
Vermont state industrial school was
submitted by the committee which was
authorized to visit the state school for
feeble minded at Brandon. The report
is MS follows:
"To the House Of Representatives,:
"The committee on state institutions
on the occasion of its visit to Brandon
took the opportunity of visiting the
industrial school at Vergcnnes. Since
the school is located on the direct
route to Brandon, the visit could be
made without expense TO the state.
The inspection was further induced by
the urgent and courteous invitation Of
the chairman of the penal board. The
committee found the institution in
such an excellent condition and doing
such remarkable work, that it believes
it to be part Of its duty to give the
House the benefit of its finding.
"The property is in most excellent
condition, all the buildings, stock and
equipment giving evidence of the best
of care. 1t was clearly manifest that
the management of the institution is
of the highest order, and the results
produced in the training of nearly 800
boys and girls cannot be too highly
commended. The boys and girls give
evidence of the best Of care and dis
cipline, not the least factor of which
being the personal interest shown in
the children by the instructors, super
intendcnt and chairman Of the penal
board.
"The state can i'll afford to curtail
the usefulness of this institution. 1t
has been necessary to request that no
more applicants be sent because OF
lack Of accommodations. 1t is recon-
mended that an appropriation be made
for further facilities for housing the
children who are, of necessity, wards
Of the state.

TARIFF FOR REVENUE
IS UP TO CONGRESS
Necessity to Meet Impending Deficit
Forces Democrats to Cast Eye
Over Taxable List.

Washington. Jan. 2-The problem Of
raising additional revenue for the gov
ernment to avoid the threatened def
icit at the end OF the next fiscal year
has assumed sucn proportions that ad-
minfstration leaders in congress are
reviewing the entire free list to con-
slider the advisability of placing tariff
duties on other commodities than cof-
fee. rubber and wool and increasing
the present tariff on sugar.
Revenues to be derived from these
four sources will fall far below the
sum needed, unless there is radical
revision upward Of the tariff duties
originally proposed on them. Esti-
mates placed before the ways and
means committee by treasury depart
ment experts are said to show that
under n maximum tariff OF s per cent
these four commodities would yield
not more than 100000 annually and
probably not more than $4,000, 900.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that ap-
proximately $1s5, 900. 900 will have to
be raised bv taxation in addition to
sums to be deri, ID from proposed bond
issues.
The chief remaining articles on the
free list not eliminated by the policy

dustries as the iron and steel trade.
include cocoa, drugs. undressed furs
and skins, meats. oils. potatoes. silk
and tea. Other articles on the free
list understood to have been virtually
eliminated from consideration are
copper and iron ore. leather and steel
products such as rails. A host OF
minor articles also are on the free list
and on these estimates have been fur
nished the committee showing the
amount Of revenue which small tariff
duties would yield.
Additional sources OF revenue under
consideration INCLUDE articles on which
the internal revenue bureau collects
an excise tax. notably tobacco.
Indications are that President VIII
son will leave the problem to the ways
and means committee and will not find
1t necessary to make recommendation
to congress to cover the situation.

Violation
Of Neutrality
German Cites Historical
Events to Prove Belgium's
Sympathies Were With
Entente Allies.

Berlin. Jan. by wireless to Say
ville.-The German impression OF the
entente's reply to the peace proposal
Of the central powers wes reflected to-
day in n statement made to the semi :
OFFICIAL Overseas News agency by DR..
Hammann, who until the turn OF the
year was director Of the intelligence
department of the foreign office. This
comment was not based on tho off,
cial text of the entente's note, as thus
| far only the version supplied by the
Havas News agency from Paris has
been received here.
When asked as to the general i'm
preston. created by the entente re-
ply. DIR. Hammann said:
Instead of taking place around a
peace table. the entente's deliberations
took place on n Judges chair. APP
parently the entente forgot nothing
that could possibly influence neutrais
against us.
The point OF the accusation, how
ever. to which the largest space Is
allotted in the entente note is the
nartyirdom OF Belgium Bat II one
desires to pass Judgment on the
martyrdom Of Belgium. one must
speak beforehand regarding neutral
ity and loyalty and in this Belgium
had ceased to exist long before the
war.
Il do not want to speak about the
documents which we found in Brus-
sells and which have been published
They can be read by everybody. I
only wish to single out one point,
which up to now has not been suf-
ficiently considered-the report made
by Baron Greindl. Belgian minister at
Berlin. dated December %. 1911.
This clear-sighted statesman then
explained forcibly that already at that
time the entente was inspired by
nothing but the one thought Of en-
circling Germany from the north. AS
proof Of this. Baron Greindl quoted the
outcry started in Paris and London n
short time before when tho Dutch
plan to fortify Flushing had become
known. Baron Greindl then said:
"vThe reason why they wished
that the Scheldt remain without de-
tense was not concealed. In this they
admitted their purpose to be able to
transport an English garrison to
Antwerp without hindrancc. thus
creating in Belgium n basis for oper-
ations in the direction of the lower
Rhine and Westphalia.'
Baron Greindl reported that the
plan was then changed in such manner
that the English auxiliary army was
not to be landed on the Belgian coast
but in adjoining French ports.
This same plan of an English
landing in order to threaten Germany
was equally hinted at as imminent by
