parliament, NJ. Lat
minister, saluI u,.=-----
"The negotiations regarding dh~
nomic agreement with Germany az
delayed by difficulties. I am unable
to give information at present as to
the stage of the negotiations, but they
are not progressing very smoothly,
principally because Holland would be
unable to export much more than at
present"
He would not discuss the sand and
gravel controversy further than to say
the situation was Every sserious."
The minister said no ship would
sail from Holland before Q written
guarantee had been obtained there
would be no further seizures of YES
sells. He asserted he had gathered
from an interview with John w. Gar
rett, the American minister, that the
latter supposed a written assurance
had already been given.
"The intention was six ships would
constantly remain in the SERVICE" he
said, "and l have reason to assume
that the number will be extended and
Germany will put no obstacles in the
way. I believe it can be assumed that
the allied governments will observe
their obligations regarding the ration

BAN HITS u. S.
Places Embargo on Shipments
From East Indies.
MAY Be II! RETALIATION
Tin, Quirine and Other War Necessi-
ties, Needed Here in Large Quanti-
ties, Are on the List.

Washington, April 27.-Holiand has
1 placed an embargo on the expectation
! from the Dutch East Indies of tin,
/ tin ores, cinchona bark, quinine salts
/ and kapok.
. All these are needed in large guam
! titoieS by the United States for war
! puposeS.
Official notification of the embargo,
effective April %, has been received
1t caused much perturbation. In some
quCrterS it was suggested the measure
was i'll retaliation for the American
requiSitioning of Dutch ships Else
where it was thought to have been
prompted by the critical situation in
. which Holland finds herself with Ger
| many.
The embargo on tin and tin ore
will prove especially embarrassing
Supplies needed for munitions and
food preservation were expected to
como from the Dutch East Indies, as
the British are taking the entire out
pat of the Straits Settlement. About
10000 tons of tin was brought by the
Unlted States last year frO1 the
Dutch East Indies The amoup prob
ably would have been increas, this
year
Chlcona bark, quinine, and quinine
salts are needed for medicinal pur-
poses by the army. Kapok is q vege-
table product in making hammock
mattresses for the navy.
The United States is almost COM
pletely dependent for tin on the out
side world. Production in this coun-
try last year amounted to only ninety
tons, thirteen-One hundredths of one
per cent of the domestic consumption
As the American deposits are only
periodically productive, there is lit
tie hope the supply can be increased
materially. 1t is probable Bolivia will
be looked to for a supply.

HORSE SENSE

The r. n. Vail Agricultural Schoo
U'riyrs the Successful Farmers o.
Vermont as Instructors.
As a first step in carrying out a
pplicy Of bringing to its agricultural
students The benefit Of successful Yer
mont experience along agricultural
lines, The T. N, Vail Agricultural
School at Lyndon Center Vermont
has had The services Of Elmer Smalley
of Mouisville, during the week Of
January 7th.
Mr.. Smalley has been for 40 years
an eminently successful dealer Of
horses in Vermont For the past
eight years he has held the position
of superintendent of horses at the
Vermont State fair. He gave his time
gratuitously to the boys Of the school,
and through them to his state. From
his long and successful experience he
brought to the boys instruction and
information which will be invaluable
to them.
His time at the school was spent in
informal discussions or "IIorse Talks"
demonstrations, and practice in horse
Judging. In his discussions with the
boys large number Of topics relating
to horses were taken up. The follow
ing subjects give some idea Of the
practical information which he was
able to bring to the schools:
|. Why the Vermont Farmer
Should Raise His Own Horses.
2. The Type of Horse for the YER
mont Farmer to Raise.
3. The Management of the Brood
Mare while in Foal.
a. Method of Rearing Colts.
5. The Daily Care of the Farm
Horse.
6. The Judging and Buying of
Good Horse.
7. Points on the Harness and Hitch
of a Horse.
s. Diseases Of the Horse.
ta) Their Cause.
(b) Home Remedies.
(c) When to Call the Veterin-
arian.
These are only a few Of the many
matters taken ur by the tovs with
Mr.. Smalley, ana the discussion was
enlivoned by many of Mr.. Smalley's
personal experiences and emphasized
by the practical source from which it
came.
Two forenoons were devoted to ac-
tual practice and horse judging. The
draft horses and colts of the main
farm connected with the school furn-
ished material for one forenoon Of
work.
Through the courtesy Of +. A. Dar-
ling of East Burke, the boys with Mr.
Smalley were enabled to examine his
fine stable Of Morgan horses including
the stallion, Sir Ethan Allen, which
Mr.. Smalley considers one Of the near
ly perfect horses in the State.
1t is needless to state that the boys
Of the school were interested, Their
voluntary attendance upon the confer
rnces, their earnest attention, and
their expressed appreciation showed
how much they valued Mr.. Smalley's
services.
This conference is only one of many
which are to follow during the school
year and at which Vermont men who
nave been eminently successful in
,ome line Of farming are TO give to
he boys the benefit Of their expert
,nce and their success. Several such
nen have already agreed to come to
lyndon Center. and the bows of The
r. N. Vail Agricultural School will
nave the rare opportunity of sitting at
he feet of the most successful farm
RS which Vermont possess.
