New York, April 7.-I The convoy system which many naval men had termed im- practicable, overcam4 the German suo- marine menace and figured tremendously in the winning of the war Rear Admiral William S. Sims, conh onhmander-in-chief of the American navy's forces in European waters, declared today on his arrival here aboard the British lin Ter Mauretania.
 Depth charges and listening devices, he said, contributed matfrially to success In maintaining practicapl lily unbroken the trans Atlantic "bridgf" of transports ana supply ships essential to the allied vic tory, as did the ma |gnificent work or the merchant SeamelI, who took tneli cargoes across, convoF or no convoy.
 Rut it was the donvoying scheme, worked out to a fine detail by the com bined fleets of the aSSoclated powers the officer asserted, which made possible the transportation and supplying of the great American force whose appearance In pat tie with the allies turned the tide agalnst the German invaders on the western front.
 Germany was winning the war, the rear admiral stated, when he arrived In EIs- land the day after the United States be- came a belligerent.
 Teuton interference with allied shipping, he added. was a serious problem, solved only when conferences of the British, American and allied commanos Worheu out and put into practice the system oi nrotecting vital ships which prevailed until the cessation of hostilities.

WONDERFUL RECEPTION

Admiral Sims termed his reception wonderful
 He had expected no formal welcome, he said intending to meet his family and go direct to Washington for confer ence with navy officials, afterward pro- ceeding to his home at Newport, R. l, He was met by J. P. Mahoney, mayor of that city, who obtained his promise to appear Friday evening at reception arranged by the admirals fellow cti- zens.
 The admiral declared the relations be- tween the forces and the British had been ideal.
 we went over there to get into the war any way we could do the most good," he stated.
 "All maneuvers of the grand fleet were the result of conferences between the British and American staffs, and there were no differences of opinion. We oper- ated between 300 and 400 vessels, manned by S0,000 officers and men, so complete harmony with the British, and relations now, with 150 vessels and 25,0O0 men re- maining, are just as cordial
 He added that American naval craft had operated from the White Sea to Constantinople, assisting the war de- partment, shipping board and relieNcom- missions.
 We were minority in the allied fleet he continued, but we had the satisfac- ton of knowing that in quality we ranked ship for ship, with the best of them."
 Of the merchant seamen, the rear ad- niral spoke in high praise, declaring they stood by us through it all. and scme of them, it seemed. could not get torpedoed often enough to suit them."
 He said there might have been a diff ferent story to tell" but for the courage of these men in sticking to their posts and freighting American supplies to Eu- rope. regardless of whether conveys were available. The war, he added, had given both the navy and the merchant marine a true appreciation of the others worth.

 War When U. $. Became Belligerent.

quent of the nations and citys tribute to a home coming victor, the rear ad- miral boarded the naval yacht Aramis and stepped into the circle of his family. Greeting his wife. three children and three sisters, the officer chatted happily. declaring that his greatest regret in con- nection with the war was his inability to have his family with him, a hardship which he shared with 5000 officers under his command.
 From his family the returning com mander turned to Rear Admiral D. IT. Burrage, who extended the formal wei come of the navy department.
 To this was added by Mayor Hylan that the city of New York, when the Aramis reached the battery. There also were greeting extended by representatives oi Rear Admiral Gleaves of the naval transport service, and Rodman Wana- maker, chairman of the mayors commit tee on welcome to home coming troops.
 The Mauretania entered the harbor in mid-afternoon, delayed since early morn- ing by fog which shrouded the coastal waters for many miles. A great fleet of airplanes, their wings flashing in the sun which succeeded the mornings fog. heralded the approach of. the transport, bearing the admiral, his staff and 30SC troops, and escorted by flotilla of de- stroyers and smaller naval craft.
 In a din of salutes from the harbor forts, whistles from welcoming vessels and cheers of the officers soldier ship mates, the big vessel lay to off quaran- tine while the trans-shipment took place.
 As the admiral stepped aboard the naval yacht, his flag shot up the mainmast and the guardship Amphitrite, which had withheld it's salute while he was aboard foreign vessel, loosed it's guns.
 The escorting destroyers remained in the lower bay, but the airplanes, with a pair of kite balloons lowed by launches proceeded on up the bay continuing the welcome until the admiral had set foot on home soil.
 From the battery the party went by automobile to an uptown hotel The ad. miral passed through cheering crowds and was showered by confetti from of flee windows

Hiring Road Workers.
(Rutland News.)

The Brattleboro Reformer in making
reference to the suggestion by The Rut-
land News that a different system of EN-
ployment of road help be adopted, dis
closes some interesting facts. The News
suggested that a new system be adopted
which would include competent road
engineer, superintendent of construction
that would follow the engineers plans
foremen who would oversee the work ol
the laborers, and labore1s whose business
was the handling of dirt and the making
of roads In short, The News advocated
the importation into Vermont of foreign
ers to do this road work under competent
foremen or padrones.
The Reformer shows that in 10 year,
from 1909 to 1918 the state has expended
for permanent highway work 81 ,626, sol so
most of which has been paid to towns fol
expenditure under the supervision of the
! regular road commissioners. The Reform
err suggests: Having given such larg,
sum to the towns it would not be unreas
enable for the state now to ask the town:
to contribute an equal sum for it to ex
pend in highway construction; and SEE
what results it could give
The suggestion seems to be worthy o
notice, at least, it is patent that Vermont
has expended large sum of money Oh

The Responsibility.
BARRE Times.

The tragedy which took place in Barre
ruit store yesterday afternoon in which
he proprietor murdered his clerk and
hen committed suicide must be put down
70 diseased mind. Many indications
hat have come to general notice since
hat tragic event combine to form the
belief that the slayer of his inoffensive
Jerk had been laboring under the strain
If incipient insanity, with the likelihood
IF breaking forth into violence at any
time. He had been given to brooding
rver wrongs, or fancied wrongs He had
been prone to fall into fits of violent
anger He had been SO. strange in his
manner as to brighten clerks, even> the
goung man whom he slew yesterday after
noon. He had absented himself from his
rooming place for days at time, seeking
seclusion at night by making his bed on
he floor in his store, there to labor over
his decisions. He had even gone SO far
rs to acquire firearms and to display those
weapons lone of which had been taken
rom him. and to boast what he could do
md even what he would do with them.
All of which pointed Enthusiastically to the
act that the man was a menace to be at
large.
Yet in spite of the somewhat common
knowledge of his condition, society, as
represented by constitutional authority,
had made no effort to place the man I'M
der restraint, or even to bring him before
the courts as preliminary step toward
determining his sanity through the usual
course of procedure Instead of being
placed under restraint, this man was al
lowed to continue in his decisions and to

night come in contact. 1t so happened
that the young clerk, bright, amiable
and energetic fellow, patriot who was
one of the first in Barre to enlist in wal
service, fell victim to the dangerous
mans whim of passion. Society failed
miserably in handling the case of this
man, and the tragedy of yesterday il

failure to meet its responsibility in thi'

SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

The procedure of the government in
the matter of the high cost of living
must commend itself to the thought
full, because in the main it is confined
to the possible rather than the radi-
cal The law provides for the punish
ment of boarding and Attorney Gener-
al Palmer proposes to confine his legal
procedure to this class of offenders.
One can reasonably hope that the great
stocks of poultry, meats and dairy
products in the cold storage plants of
the country will be turned over to the
public for consumption. Men will not
care to hoard in the face of vigorous
prosecution.
The appointment of voluntary fair
price committees is the most effective
way of dealing with profiteers. There
is no law against profteering and the
passage of such law and the inevi,
table judicial Interpretation of the
same would require months. We all
KNOW now SlOW HllSdtioI VI ouNh :" -
tai matter is. There are not enough
lawyers, courts and officers to prosecute
the profteers, even if we had a valid
law against profteering. But the YER
diet of public opinion against profit
eering can be quickly secured and II
will be as effective as the public choos'
es to make it.
These fair price committees can
quickly determine whether or not the
100 per cent increase in the price OF
clothing in the past five years is JUST
fed, and whether the advance of l0.I
per cent since last March is necessary
When they make public the facts con
corning this matter the public will ad
Just its buying of clothing according
| to the facts. The dealers cannot
compel the public to pay extortionat'
prices but the public by restricting pur
chases can force any commodity down
to reasonable prices.
'eThe federal reserve board believes
that any currency change at this ,tim'
is unnecessary and undesirable, and
would suggest that whether viewed
from an economical or financial stand
point the remedy for the present stu
alton is the same, namely, to worl
and save; to work regularly and ELI
GENTLY in order to produce and distrib
ute the largest possible volume of com
modities, and to exercise reasonable
\ economics in order that money, good
and service may be devoted to tn
liquidation of the debt and to the sat
isfaction of the demand for necessitie
rather than to the indulgence in eN
travagances or the qualification of de
sire of Injuries.
Here another government agency ha
spoken words of wisdom that must AZ
peal to the sober sense of the Amer
can people and has suggested remed
that must help. OF course impractic:
suggestions will be forthcoming bt
they have been largely forestalled b
the sound and practical suggestion
already before the public.
