DOUBLE SURGICAL DRESSINGS.
Are Called for from Vermont, Beginning
at Once.

Harry c. Pratt, Vermont chairman of
the Red Cross, was in Montpelier to-day
in connection with the work in this see
tion of Vermont and in conference with
the state headquarters relative to the
work He visited those in charge of
making surgical dressing in Montpelier
this morning Vermont has been asked
to double its output vi these, which
means that over $4,000 must be put out
each month, for in the month of Febru-
airy the reports in the state headquar-
tiers show that Vermont placed at the
disposal of the national organization
ldS,S39 surgical dressings One-fifth of
all made in the United States has been
allotted to the New England states, which
means much work must be done.
Mr. Pratt finds the counties are get
ting in shape for county organizations
Essex and Grand Isle, where
perhaps none will be organized.
He has held the organization in Wash
ington county back because the head
quarters is here and the work can be
readily completed when the other coun-
ties are organized and the supplies are
shipped to them.

BLOCKADE BY ALLIES
DOING IMPORTANT WORK
In Far East German Commercial Estab-
lishments Have Been Almost Com
pletely estroyed-Elsewhere
the Policy is Gaining
for the Allies.

London, April IL Correspondence OF
Associated Press THE blockade is one
of the most important weapons in the
hands of the allies" asserts the British
war cabinet. Dealing with the develop
ment and amplificaton of the blockade
of Germany during 1917, the cabinet
says in its annual report just made pub
lie:
THE chief method by which this am.
plification has been effected has been the
conclusion of series OF agreements with
neutral shipping companies. The weapon
in the background during such negota-
tions has been the British control of
bunker facilities and the powers welded
by the inter-aIied chartering committee.
"A very considerable amount OF sue
cess can fairly be claimed for the pol
icy. In the far East, the German com
mercial establishments have been almost
completely destroyed and recent events
will probably make it possible to com
plete the work.
Thanks to our agreements with Amer
leah shipping companies, the financial
stability Of enemy firms in South Amer
lea has been generally shaken. and in
some cases they have been forced into
liquidation. In other instances, firms
containing certain enemy interest have
been obliged to eliminate this interest.
In Spain the policy has worked ad
and is considered to have gone
far to counteract the more insidious
methods of German propaganda. In all
the moral effect of the statu-
tory lists has been very pronounced, and
a definite stigma is attached to incli
sions in the list, an effect which has been
accentuated by the growing dislike of
the world in general for German objects !
and methods" /
The main preoccupation of the minis
trv of blockade during the year 1917. /
il is stated, was directed to diminishing
trade between the Germans and neutrals /
on her borders
THE neutral tonnage employed in al /
led trade increased by million tons
between the German declaration of ruth /
ess e boat warfare and the end of The
year" saws the cabinet
"The great blockade event of the year
vas the declaration of war between the
United States and Germany, followed l'y i
,imlar declarations from, or the rup
ure of relations by, a considerable num- Z
,er of South American states. This
las enabled us and our allies to stop
IMPORTS to the border neutrals at the
ource.
Public attention has been fixed, not
more upon the food block {
de of Germany than anything else, but
t is very doubtful whether this is it's
most important aspect. The evidence
! strong to show that Germany is also
offering gravely from the want of such
hings as wool, leather, cotton, rubber
nd so on.
1T is hoped that we may see consider
BILE results in the future from the new
orms of pressure which the entry of

not as much ms was accomplished in

work for a few days. He held the last
of the road meetings for the year in
Montpelier Tuesday. Mr.. Bates consid
cred this the best series of meetings that
have been held since he has had any
thing to do with the state road construc
ton for the attendance has greatly in
creased. Nearly every road commission
er in each county attended the meetings,
while there have been more selectmen
attending the meetings. This year the
were invited to the confer
ence so that they may have the benefit
of the explanations. While the statutes
provide penalty for selectrnen neglect
ing to attend the meetings, Mr.. Bates
has found that more is accomplished by
allowing the town to remove select
man who hasn't interest enough to con-
form to the statutes rather than to han
die the matter himself Some selectmen,
who have not been returned to office,
IAN attribute il to the fact that they did |
