another clean up week later 1t is
time now to begin cleaning up and the
end of April should see Manchester in
its usual trim summer dress. The
standing of man is judged largely by
the appearance of his premises, and a
neat orderly farm and buildings are
taken as an indication of thrift and
prosperity. These things have real
money value and no man can afford

What people outside the State think
of our roads is indicated by the fact
that our hotel men are receiving in
quiries from prospective guests ask
ing if our roads are "passable". They
do not expect good roads but are will
ing to put up with passable roads on
account of our beautiful scenery. Can
we afford to keep the reputation of
having only passable roads when mil
lions of dollars more would come into
the State over really good roads :?
The present State Highway Commits
sion thinks our present road system
is all right. At any rate he had no i'm
provements to suggest in his annual
report. The Legislature evidently
thinks our present system is all right
and good enough for Vermont. Per-
haps it is good policy to put up dams
to keep money out of the State, and
to make it expensive for our own peo-
pie to travel and do business, but we
hope the good common sense Of YER
will prevail some time and
that something will be done to wake
people up before the next session of
the Legislature.

Seminary Varsity Trims Alumni
in Fast Game.


The people of Manchester were
treated to the finest and fastest game
of beasket ball played on the home
court this year, when the Burr and
Burton boys beat the Alumni team
with score of 24-13 on Tuesday, APP
ril !, 1919. In the first half the Alum
nj were strong and held the Varsity
down, at the same time scoring nine
points, while the Seminary had eight,
but in the last half our boys came back
strong and put one over on the Alum
nj. During the first half Walsh was
the star for the Varsity, caging three
floor baskets, while j. Shaw was the
star throughout the game for the OPP
posing team. The last half Salter got
his eye and shot five floor baskets.
Marsden and Burns did excellent
guard work and Davis did his honor
able part as he always does. The Al
umni guards did good work but our
boys were too fast for them. The line
up was as follows: Varsity; Basil
Walsh, center; Cecil Davis, forward;
Warren Salter, forward; James Burns,
H. Marsden, guards. Alumni; Norman
Marsden, center, Julian Shaw, Noble
Shaw, forwards, Alan Dodd and Paul
Buck, guards. Referee, Howard Will

THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND

A London dispatch announces that the figures given
cut by the German admiralty on losses sustained by the
German fleet in its only actual encounter with the Brit
ish high sea fleet in the North Sea May 81. 1916, are
essentially correct; the total loss of men is given as 3.o76
and the following vessels were either destroyed Or seri-
ously damaged. seydlitz, Grosser Kurfuerst, Oldenburg
Markgraf. ostfriesland. schlesien. schleswig- Holstein
Luetzow, Derfflinger. Moltke. Won der Tam. Elbing, Ros-
took, Wiesbaden and Frauenlob.. ?
1t is added that the German fleet consisted OF 21
battleships, ~ cruisers and II destroyers while that OF
Great Britain comprised ~ battleships. 8 battle cruisers
Is light cruisers. and Is cruisers supplemented by rs
destroyers. -
Numerically it would seem that the English had the
best Of it from the very beginning.
But Admiral Viscount Jellicoe points out in his
book, THE Grand Fleet published in London less than
Ia forenight ago, that the opportunities present really
favored the Germans. In support of this he claims that
the German ships were better protected than the Eng
fish, and also that they had a delay action fuse which.
combined with their highly efficient armor- piercing pro-
jectiles. insured the. bursting of their shells inside the
ing through the armor. as was the case with the British
shells fired against the heavy German armor.
1t was also claimed by viscount Jellfcoe that the
German ships were less vulnerable to underwater at
tacks. it being a rare thing for a British capital ship to
survive when torpedoed or mined, whereas German
ships after being struck by even more than one torpedo
were able to make their way back to port.
The battle of Jutland has already stirred up a con.
siderable controversy among naval experts. and it is by
no means to be expected that the latest German statistics
or the report of the British admiral will be the hnal
contribution to the story of the worlds greatest sea fight
There are a great deal of factors to consider in addition
to that of numerical strength and Of the excellence OF
the equipment Of each vessel taking part in the battle
but whatever bistorys final verdict will be, it seems
pretty conclusively established that the German fee,
made for home with the English in pursuit, notwith.

POLAND R%ESURREcTED

6 It seems that at last the hour of justice is about to
strike for Poland-for the Allied powers are now taking
up. ~favorably. it is reported. the question Of formally
recognizing President Paderewskis government.
No nation has suffered more than the Polish: no
country has been more systematically mutilated, than
Poland, ind in no people has the sacred fire Of intense
patriotism burned with a brighter or steadier flame than
in the Poles. Their example has been one of inspiration
to the world, for even in the days of darkest and most
|merciless suppression the Pole always maintained his
exuberance Of spirit. his enthusiastic faith that some day
the ancient country. full Of a thousand glorious 4radi-
lions, would be re-established.
1t is not to be wondered at that an artist heads the
new Polish government; authors like Mickiewicz and
actresses like Helena Modjeska, have taken conspicuous
part in the political life Of their nation. The entire hack.
ground Of modern Polish literature and artsi that of
strife and combat, and every Pole has had fnstillad in
him from the days Of childhood the great idea that Pol
and was destined to arise again from the ashes. The
Poles are by nature. dreamers and romaticists. but At
the same time, some Of the keenest intellects Of. Europe
are found among them, and their superiority In various
sciences has long ago been established.

INVESTIGATION SUGGESTED

The fires which have been ,harassing East Grand
Forks during the past ten or twelve months have been SO
systematically frequent as to almost preclude the posi-
bility Of accident. In a majority of cases it has been re
ported that the fire was Of unknown origin, and subse-
quent efforts to ascertain the cause have failed almost
every time. ~
Considering the size Of East Grand Forks. the mum
Der of recent fires has been rather startling. and it looks
as though fate-or a pyromaniac-may have chosen to
gradually work up a climax, for each succeeding fire
has entailed a constantly increasing loss. Whatever may
be conjectured as to the origin of seventeen or more
fires in a small city within less than a year, there is a
persistent indication that something is wrong some
where. and popular talk is quite ypointedly to the effect
that at least some of the fires are of incendiary origin.
This has not been proven, but the facts known
would seem to justify suspicion and to warrant a thor
|ough investigation IF all circumstances surrounding each
fire. The seriousness of the situation demands an ex-
animation of details that must not be merely cursory
but, to be effective. must be searching and leave no stone
unturned.
1t was thought two weeks ago that the elimination
of East Grand Forks fires had been reached when the
city hall was destroyed, but on Friday night the central
school building, much larger and considerably greater
value, was laid in ruins, and we are again informed, with
a familiar and unsatisfactory phrase. that the fire was
of unknown origin" -.
At present no one is in a position to utter accusa-
tons, but a suggestion that the peculiar situation be in
vestigated might not be inappropriate in view of the fact
that the frequency of fires constitutes a serious menace
to not only East Grand Forks. but to Grand Forks. also.
1t is a popular saying that it is too late to cover the
well up when the chilY has drowned. Investigation of
the East Grand Forks fires will not undo the loss caused,
but may fix responsibility where it belongs, and it should
be coupled with rigorous measures for safeguarding.
The matter is not to be treated lightly nor dismissed
with a shrug Of the shoulders.

SELF DETERMINATION ON TRIAL

1t is probable that the first real test of the Wilson
theory Of national self determination is imminent, for
dispatches from foreign capitals indicate that the prob
lem of uniting Germany and German Austria into one
homogeneous state is pressing for a solution which may
have to be decided upon even before the final peace pro-
tocol is signed.
Recent elections in German Austria apparently show
an overwhelming victory for. the advanced Socialists who
have pleaded consistently for Austria's participation in a
new Teuton federation, but the accuracy of the election
returns is open to doubt, no trustworthy vernicahon hav-
ing been produced. N.
1t seems that the election thus was primarily in the
nature of a plebiscite, and that for this reason American
delegates at the peace congress at Paris are disposed to
look at the contemplated union with favor. The cause
of probable American support of the German-Austrian
federaliza ton plan is reported to be the belief that the
principle of national self determination should govern
even where, and when. it conflicts with the interests Of
others.
The delicate point is just here, for it is understood
that France is strongly averse to any plan resulting in an
intimate union of Germany and German Austria. At the
present time the population of Germany is about seventy
million, that of German Austria ten million people. This
approximate total of eighty million may be heavily in
creased within a comparatively brief period. and the
French frankly say they do not like the prospect of hav-
ing such a strong Teuton state as their immediate neigh
Dor. In Paris. efforts are now being made to have the re-
cent German Austrian election declared illegal on the
ground that improper outside pressure has been exerted,
and in responsible quarters it is maintained that the
United States will withhold recognition of the proposed
union If it is proved that the election was carried out con-
trary to law.
1t may require some time to have the difficulties
Strengthened out, but the development Of the situation
will be of more than passing interest because it, involves
the first attempted application of the theory of self-deter-
minattor on a large scale. T.. 49, : rn
