phase of his proposal Emperor Will

Reform of the Prussian Diet and

opinion, no more room in Prussia for

AFTER THE CAMP BREAKERS
Local Organizations Organizing Cam
paign Of Prosecution.

Representatives of the Bennington
County Forest. Fish and Game AS
sooiation and the Green Mountain
club are now calling on owners OF
mountain camps and organizing q cam
paign against camp-breakers who have
been such an annoyance for some
time by forcing entrance to private
camps, pilferlng and destroying con
tents and causing damage IN general
There is hardly a camp owner Who
has or would object to anyone using
his camp to avoid staying out all
night in the woods or to get in from
storm if the camp is left in as good
a condition as found Some have even
left them unlocked in a spirit of hos.
pitality to the spOrtsmen and mixers
who enjoy the Out-ofdoors and the
lure of the woods and mountains.
1t is not the amount Of damage in
dollars and cents that one cares so
much about as the inconvenience and
annoyance q camper for instance ex-
periences in going to his cabin ex-
pecting to have certain food supplies
there that he has left previously and
then to iind them pilfered cans
opened and fCodsiuffs strewn around
unused. showing that they were open
ed simply in a spirit of vandalism
rather than from actual want
Many camps also are SO situated
that it is no easy matter to tote in
supplies ana the evaporation of
campers is not to be wondered at
when they find dishes and cooking
utensils smashed and other things
damaged 70 the extent that they viii
have to be replaced by hard hauling
over rough mountain trails.
Because of so many recent breaks
and deliberate aets OF vandalism camp
ers have about lost patience in the
open camp idea and have been prompt
ed to act in an organized way to give
offenders OF law and decency in the
woods their just deserts tothe full eX
tent Of the law.
Camp owners are being called upon
to contribute toward a fund that will
be used TO apprehend yiolators in this
respect and all are urged TO cooperate
in the effort to give freedom in the
woods TO those who appreciate it, in
the hopes that the time will come
when camps may be left open to the
sportsmen of this section without fear
that they will be treated in any way,
but with decency and respect to the
law of the wild which would
put a make yourself at home and
welcome" sign over every camp door.
Subscription lists are in the hands
of Dr. Rollin d. Jenney. Wills T.

RED CROSS FIRST AID
A Second Class viii be Started II
ENOUGH Will Join

A great many applications have
been received for membership in the
Red Cross First Aid to the Injured
class recently organized under the
auspices of the Public Welfare asso-
citation. AS only twenty five persons
are allowed in a class, many who ap-
piled late for membership were dis
appointed To make it possible for
these persons and any other others
who may be interested to take the
course, a second class will be orga-
nized provided twenty names are reg
istered.
There has sometimes been consider
able misunderstanding among First
Aid pupils as to what they are quail
fed to do after taking First Aid. AS
far as women are concerned a First
Aid course is only intended to teach
them what they can do when acct
dents and sudden illnesses occur in
their own homes or elsewhere 1t does
not qualify them for service with the
Red Cross in time of war, only as it
adds to their general Information.
Women who desire to prepare them
selves FOR war service must supple
ment the First Aid course by courses
in Hygiene and Home Care of the
Sick" "Dietetics" and Preparation of
Surgical Dressings" Only women
who volunteer for active Red Cross
service are ever called upon. When
volunteers are selected for assign
ment to duty as nurses aids with the
hospital units preference will usually
be given to these who hold certificates
in these various courses.
The First Aid course as given here
consists of ten lectures and demon
strations, DR.. Henry S. Goodall acting
as instructor. The membership fee
is two dollars an additional charge of
fifty cents being made by the Red
Cross to those who wish to take the
examination and obtain a certificate
However the examination is not re-
quired but is a matter Of individual
choice and need not be decided upon
until after the second lecture. The
class will probably be held on Thurs
day or Friday evening. Application
for membership may be made to Miss
Nossler or Mrs. William w. Burke.

PRO-GERMAN LOST JOB
Row in ST. Johnsbury Scale Works
Results in His Discharge.

Because he said he hoped the Ger
mans would sink every American sol
der sent across to Europe, f. j. King
Of St Johnsbury is without a job and
is the sufferer from back-hand slap
in the face. He is said to have been
talking with one of the workmen at
the +. and r. Fairbanks ana company
plant in St. Johnsbury about the out
break OF war with Germany and dur
ing the course OF conservation the
question was raised as to whether the
United States would send any troops
to the battlefront in Europe. King
maintained that such a course should
not be pursued The man he was talk
ing with thought differently and King
made the statement that he hoped the
Germans would sink eyrey @
d" one Of them
Several Of the workmen overheard
the statement and Lester Crafts, ordi-
narily the quietest and most easy-go-
ing man in the shop, walked up to
King and repeating the words asked
him ii he had made such a state
ment. The latter answered in the af-
frmative and made it stronger by re-
peating it with the use of several ad-
ditional adjectives not in common u.s.
age in polite society Crasts then
told King that if he was not out of
the shop before noon either one or the
other would get a good licking and
then walked back to his bench
Crafts went to the Office and told
Foreman Burroughs what had hap
pened AS he came down from the Of
flee King said something under his
breath. Crafts grabbed him by the
shoulder an gave him a back-hand
cuff across the face, saying "Remem-
Der what | told you about being out OF
here by noon" King then went to
Burroughs with the matter, and the
latter after brief investigation hand
ed King his time and told him to call
at the Office for his money. King said
that he would get it at noon when he
went out but he decided differently
when Burroughs replied, NO, you'll
get out now" Mr.. Burroughs was
later called to the main office where
he was upheld in his action in the
matter

No LABOR STRIKES
Of ANY KIHO
DURING WAR
Announcements By Head Of 'meri'
can Federation of Labor
10 PAY WAR GIllS As MADE
President Wilson's Policy is to Leave
as Little Debt as Possible for
Posterity.

Washington, April $40 strikes
or labor disputes OF any kind during
the war, is the program of the labor
/ advisory committee of the council of
national defense, headed by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
/ Federation of Labor.
In a report unanimously adopted by
the council and commission and made
public tonight the committee de-
clares:
The defense and safety of the ma
ton must he the first consideration Of
all patriotic citizens and proposes
that whenever emergencies arise re-
quiring change of standards. such
changes should be made only after in
yestigation and approval by the coun.
Gil of national defense.
Since the labor committee member
ship includes both leaders of orga-
nized labor and representatives of in
fluential employers interests, its ac-
ton is interpreted as giving the Unit
ed States promise OF complete free
dom from industrial disputes such as
hampeIed England early in the, war
President Wilson's policy outlined
IN his address to congress, of paying
Americas war bill as far as possible
while the war is being waged, leaving
minimum debt 10 posterity, was re-
lected tonight in virtual decision by
leaders in the house and senate TO
raise fifty per cent OF the first years
expenditures by taxation.
fa ,trftt
be called upon to raise war revenue
to the extent OF S1,750,000000 through
new and increased measures Of taxa
tion during the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1913. This is exclusive of
the $4,000, 100000 bond issue. authoriz-
alton for which viii be sought of con-
gress this week The total demand
upon the financial resources of the
country during the first year Of war,
under this program, would be s6750,-
100000
OF the s5,00O,OO0,00O to be raised by
bond issue, S3.0O0O 100000, it was
definitely stated tonight would be
loaned to the entente allies. The en-
tire issue house and senate leaders
have agreed. will bear interest at the
rate OF three and one-half per cent. II
is proposed to make the loan to the
Allies at this interest rate which is
lower by far than the rate they have
been compelled to pay on their prev
ious issues.
After the entente governments have
been granted the loan, the plan is to
hold the remaining S2,000000,00O of
the $4,000, 100000 to be applied as
necessary on the cost Of the military
and naval establishments and other
war expenses of the United States
Indications are that with the new
war revenue measures effected the
full amount, $4,000. 100000 would not
be entirely exhausted at the end Of
the first year
