LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
PaSteurizing.

Fools, you know, butt in where an
gels fear to tread and since all the
wise folks in town have refrained from
making any comment, publicly, on the
pasteurizing of the city's milk supply
it remains for some one of the other
class to say it, if it's said.
AS to the benefit, as we'll as the
probable necessity, of treating our
milk supply by pasteurism there may
be no doubt; and this in spite of the
fact that all of our dairymen know
their business and keep their prem
ises sanitary and we'll within the re-
quirements of the sanitary laws.
Neither should any blanket of fault be
thrown over the people who have I'M
deraken TO treat the milk and distrlb-
ute it about town. AS ! see 1t, the
trouble experienced by perhaps ev-
cry family in town was caused by lack
of time given to make proper prepara-
ton, to study the business and to test
out the apparatus. Honest criticism is
not unpatriotc and should not be I'M
popu lar. Take, for instance, a family
| have in mind, with two or three kid
dies, whose principal ration is fix.
For years their regular portion was
one or two pints of milk and half a
pint of cream per day. Sunday they
| had none Monday a half pint of milk !;
Tuesday a pint; Wednesday another
pint (Which became sour before sup
per time); Thursday none at all.
Nothing obtainable to take the place
and all because the milk depot pro-
Iprietor had not been able to become
familiar with his plant or the methods
of properly treating the milk. st is
no use crying over split milk, but if
they are going to similarly treat our
water supply hope they will give a
fellow time to catch bucket full to
last through the spasm of testing out
the apparatus. AMERICUS.

MONEY FOR THE RED CROSS

The people of Idaho are again
manifesting their patriotism and 10y
atty by subscribing literally for the
Red Cross in the drive, which is on
this week. The indications are that
the states allotment of 5000. 00O will
be overscribed By 100000.
Up to this morning Chairman
Crockett had received reports from
only two or three precincts outside
OF Montpelier. AS each Of these had
more than raised their allotment. he
is satisfied that the county will go
lover the top" in good shape.
Montpelier, as usual, is doing her
part. While city Chairman Ashley
was unable this morning to give us
the exact amount subscribed, he said
you can tell the people that when
the books close tomorrow night they
will show that Montpelier has sub
scribed $500 or more over her allot-
ment, which is 81 ,682."

Foe to Suffer More
Checks IN West,
Says French Expert

tBv Cable to The Courier des Etots-Umis)
PARIS, Nay 5.~Henry Bidou writes
IN the journal des Debats"; -Four
times during April the enemy was
checked by a vigorous resistance at
the moment he had made thrust. This
fourfold check will in the evolution Of
the battle be the characteristic feature
o. this month.
THE enemy has from the beginning
o. April known only an alternative of
success or reverse. To be sure, he sue
ceeded in capturing positions, but he
when trying to take advantage OF his
success he was checked by rude blow.
The fight is now for observatories, such
as Fillers- -Bretonneux or Scherpenberg,
as it was in 1916. The mere fact Of
having forced the enemy to conflne him
self to these costly partial objectives,
where his divisions melt away and his
spirits break down before new OBJ
stacles, is success that will count for
much in the destiny of the battle.
ut would. however, be imprudent to
imagine that we will not have to suffer
furious shocks on the part of the Ger
many army"
There is no doubt" writes NJ. Ger
Vile Reache in "L'Homme Libre," that
we have still before US some painful
hours, because Germany has not yet
exhausted her rage of destruction and
is not yet at the end of the sinister
scheme put into execution in 1914; but
this is the only anxiety we entertain.
For our Allies undoubtedly are ready
for the maximum effort in order to lay
low this bloodthirsty beast; and as to
u.s. our confidence has not been lowered
for single instant. We know that.
though the Central Empires will not be
lacking reserves, they are not mex
haustible like ours"

enemy rear area. This is the same
artillery that not long ago gave a
similar performance in another Lor-
raine sector.
On the present occasion, so far as all
investigation shows. the Germans have
entirely abandoned the territory at
least as far back as point beyond
their second line. The only signs that
they are there at all are few

German Escapes in Sun Rays

into the direct line of the sun in his

Later one of the American photo

two enemy airplanes. The American

Demand May Force
Action by Allies on
Recognizing Souiets
Especial Dispotch to The Tribune)


WASHINGTON, May 5-While no
official word with regard to the demand
by the Russian Foreign Minister for
the recall of the American and other
Allied consuls at Vladivostok, on the
charge of plotting against the revolu-
ton, has reached Washington, it is as
serted that this demand precipitates a
situation which was bound to come
sooner or later.
There is particular interest here in
the reported demand of the Foreign
Minister for a statement of the atti-
tude of the diplomatic representatives
of Great Britain, France and America
toward the Soviet government. The
Entente governments do not want to
recognize the Soviet government at this
time.
Secretary of State Lansing, within
ten days; informed the Governor of
Missouri, who wished TO appoint the
American Ambassador to Petrograd,
Senate in place of Senator Stone, that
this appointment would be embarrass-
ing to the United States, because it
would be impossible to accredit any
new ambassador if Mr. Francis should
return. The Secretary pointed out that
to send new ambassador it would be
necessary to issue credentials for him
to some authorities, and such action
would be formal recognition of these
authorities.
The demand of the Russian Foreign
Minister for a statement of attitude, it
is pointed out mere, brings up sharply
for settlement the very issue which
this government, and those of Great
Britain and France as we'll, have been
seeking to avoid-the recognition or
refusal to recognize the Bolsheviki.
1t is also pointed out that there is
the hint of much trouble in the report
ed representations Of the Russian For
elgn Minister to the japanese Ambas-
sador, with regard to the alleged CO.
operation of the Japanese with the
autonomous government in Siberia,
through Japanese agents in China.
Just wat action of the American con-
suls in Vladivostok has brought down
upon them the wrath of the Russian
Foreign Minister is not known here.
though it is believed that it is not so
much any particular act as the desire
OF the Bolsheviki to force recognition
II possible which has occasioned the
demand.
The American Consul at Vladivostok
is John X. Caldwell and the two vice
consuls are Everett B. Ansley and
Charles H. Stephens.
