BEGIN VERMONT
SUGAR SEASON

AIiddlebury. VT, March 16.-Vermont
farmers are mobilizing for the open
ing OF the maple sugar season which
is of more than usual importance III
view of the nationwide sugar short
age. Upward of 100000 maple trees
tapped has been the states average in
recent years, and President H. B..
Chaplin of the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers association, who opened the
season by tapping two trees at his

think that the Allies should as
sign a greater role to science. 1t could
be used more effectively, no doubt
in torpedo work and in the artillery.
What is needed is rapidity in the con-
ception and execution of scientific
ideas This implies closer union
amongst the experts employed by our
numerous allies. There should be a
complete mobilization of scientific
brains and greater opportunities Civ
en- for mutual consultation and dis
cussion-in fact, the organization
should resemble the War Councils.
America has set the example of a
Naval Consulting Board which 1 had
the honor of attending in Washing
ton last July. 1t is composed of ex-
perts under Mr. Edison.
We should initiate that.
Speed is wanted. We should push
our scientific advances so quickly that
the enemy cannot overtake them or
copy them. Success would result, I
think, from such a course, especially
if the civilian populations showed an
equal readiness with the soldier to
endure hardships.
CWhen the war broke out the dis
tinguished inventor took service with
the land forces, but was afterwards
transferred to the navy. 1t was as
a naval officer that he took part in
the retreat of the Italian troops, in
volving the sacrifice of their conquer
ed territory.)
1 saw no disorder during our tragic
retreat, though the armies were re-
firing quickly. Certainly the naval
contingent was in excellent spirits,
and the same applies to the Royal
Engineers, with whom I was in CON-
tact. AT headquarters of both the
Third and Fourth armies-there. at
least-they have no doubt about be-
ing able to hold the Piave line, what
ever others may have thought.
Wonderful Troops
I think ours are wonderful troops
if properly led. They resemble the
French in their ''eIan' and resistance.

Tney can stand great hardShlpS and
can march on very little food.
Regarding the causes contributing
to our retreat I must say very little.
AS the matter is now being consider
ed by a committee Of inquiry, you
will understand that I cannot express
my opinion. One should realize how
ever, that the line was $40 miles long,
and was held by Italy alone. This
front, then, is nearly as long as that
defended in the West by the French,
English and Belgians. Is it astopish-
ing that something extraordinary &C.
CURED when, after the Russian col
lapse, Italy was confronted by nearly
the whole forces of Austria, reinforc-
ed by German divisions?
I do not think tbs great reverse
had anything to do with a lack of
character or bravery in the troops.
1t was not cowardice, but it may
have been treason.
Demoralfzing Scarcity
Today the moral has immensely i'm
proved both in and out of the army.
The disaster has brought about I'M
ion; every party is resolved to drive
out the invader. So misfortune has
had a reverse effect from that anti
cipated by the Central Empires.
Italian troops were not only en-
couraged by the arrival of the Eng
fish and French reinforcements, but
stimulated to greater action.
But the coal and corn scarcity is
demoraIizing. It is felt more in the
South, such as at Naples, than in
the north, where munition factories
have been established. When you
pay 800 a ton for coal you tire more
quickly Of war than if you were pay
ing $40.
Such a situation breeds discomfort
We hope it will be improved by
American shipping. The coal short
age has meant the cutting down of
the forests for wood to heat the
houses-at prohibitive prices-and
such deforestation has its effect on
climate.

Today's Wa,
Summary
(By the Associated Press.)
Allied armies which have smashe

Allied armies which have smashed
the center of the enemy lines in
Macedonia have now begun q turning
movement which may bring about a
general retreat over the entire front
from the Adriatic to the Aegean sea.
Having captured Prilep and ad-
vanced far beyond into the upper val
ley Of the Vardar, the Allied forces
are reported to be spreading out like
the ribs of a fan. On the right, the
Serbians and French are moving to-
ward the northeast and have reached
points which appear to carry a dis
tinct threat to the great Bulgarian
stronghold Of Strumitza. On the left
the serbians are moving rapidly to-
ward the mountains that divide
Serbia and Albania and seem to have
cut off the retreat of the enemy forces
which were caught around Monastir
by the collapse Of the line eastward
from that city.
Strumitza stands Is the outpost Of
Bulgaria in Macedonia. It is a
veritable fortress n is advantage
ously situated in the midst of high
have advanced around Lake Dorian
and are pursuing the Bulgarians
along the road toward Strumitza, but
that place it seems probable. will soon
be outfanked by the progress Of the
Allied armies to the northwest.
The plight of the Bulgarians on the
western side of the battle zone ap-
pears to be serious. They are forced
to pass through the mountains toward
Albania, where they may Join forces
with the Austrians who have been
fighting for weeks against\ strong
Italian and French attacks. But be-
fore they can reach even this doubt
full haven Of safety, they must reckon
with the hostility Of the hill tribes
which are known to be unfriendly to
them.
Few details Of the situation in
Palestine. ae it has developed in the
last couple of days, have been report
ed. Only brief, formal official state
ments tell Of the capture of Acre and
Haifa and the further advance of
General Allenby's victorious troobs.
It appears, however, that the Turkish
forces which succeeded in reaching
the eastern bank of the Jordan are
virtually isolated and in imminent
danger, Of capture. A dispatch sent

Red Red .c e
lRed Cross In Genoa.

OF all the American Red Cross ac-
tivitfes in Genoa the most beloved by
the Genoese Is Creche No. I, where.
forty, children from soldiers families
are cared for from eight in the morn
ing until six in the evening. The tots
are all under six years, and the
mother Of each is a worker unable to
care for her offspring during the hours
when she must earn her living. The
American organization provides not
only security for the child, but such
washing and medical care, such food
and such clothing as will build up its
health for the life struggle THAT is to
come later on.
Each youngster Is given a huge
bowl OF hot milk favored with coffee
when he arrives in the morning. That
draught of milk alone is IN extraor-
binary boon these days in Genoa,
municipal permit, very few Of which
a be issued. Then comes the hot
bath, four youngsters every day and
more as soon as the bath facilities are
enlarged, and later the medical ex-
animation, for no hint of disease must
infect the small colony. At noon a
~nourishing mixture Of rice or beans or
vegetables is served and in the after
noon a long sleep is required. During
IQO S1k11OlSI . WdhIIlS 1Oulo lAA0 ~
dergarten methods of Froebel and
M%ontesorri are used. No reading or
writing lessons are given, for Italian
law forbids the teaching of the heavier
subjects to youngsters under ten years.
Except for their written histories
filed away in the directors room,
there is no hint that these children
represent the entire range Of human
suffering caused by war. Several are
the orphans of parents killed in air
raids over Padua and Venice. Some
are the children 81 soldiers who have
been crippled and incapacitated for
further work; the fathers Of others
disappeared during the Italian retreat
of last November and have never been
heard Of; and many Of the missing
male parents are prisoners in Austria.
In a room under the roof a small
group Of soldiers widows is sewing
busily-on the clean Bingham aprons
the children wear. The output of this
sewing room goes not only to the chill
dren in the Institution below, but to
dozens of other needy youngsters
whose parents need has been &C.
easioned by the war. The sewing
women at Creche No. 1 are housed
and fed in the building, and another
group of the women Of soldiers
families report weekly and are paid
for piece work done at their homes.
