BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.

The local railroad situation today re-
mains the same as yesterday, no new
orders having been received. Some per-
ishable freight is being moved over the
Boston & Maine system and the Central
Vermont Railway Co. is caring for its
freight business as usual with the ex-
ception that they can accept no ship
ments to other roads.
The Boy Scout camp in West Dunn

West, as she has flung back the German
menace from the East. We would not
have our politics distracted and embit.
tered by the dissensions of other lands.
"No revolutionary movement, no in
ternal conflict of any magnitude can
fail to affect the peace of the world.
Any matter affecting the peace of the
world is very broad statement which
could be made to Justify almost any
interference on the part of the league
with the internal affairs of other coun'
tries.
"Let me now briefly point out the
insuperable difficulty which / find in
Article 10. 1t begins-'If there should
arise between members of the League
any dispute likely to lead to rupture
ANY dispute covers every possible
dispute. 1t therefore covers a dispute
over tariff duties and over immigration
can immigration dispute or a dispute
over tariff duties, met by the procedure
set forth in article Is, COMES before the
assembly of delegates for decision by
what is practically majority vote OF
the entire assembly That is something
to which | do not find myself able to
give my assent. So far as immigration
is concerned, | deny the jurisdiction
There should be no possibility of other
nations deciding who shall come into the
United States or under what conditions
they shall enter. The right to say who
shall come into a country is one of the
very highest attributes of sovereignty
If nation cannot say without appeal
who shall come within it's gates and be
come n part of its citizenship it has
ceased to be sovereign nation. 1t ha.
become a tributary and subject ma
nation, and it makes no difference
whether it is subject to a league or tt
a conqueror.'
"Any ANALYSIS of the provisions Of
this league covenant brings out il
startling relief one great fact. What
ever may be said. ii is not league o.
peace; it is an alliance, dominated a
the present moment by five great pow
ers, really by three, and it has all tn
marks of an alliance. The development
of international law is neglected. TIL

"In entering the battle forl

United, States must rely upon the
American people as whole to
furnish the silver bullets. The
Federal Reserve Board states that
5000, 000, 900 of new funds must be
provided in the next few months

present position in export trade.
This sum must come from the chill

So said William Mather Lewis. Vice

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your home town grow!
Like mushrooms round upon the ground,
Garages all in a row.
Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the
fiddle,
Over the moon jumped the COW;
What became of the bossy we never
were told, e
But the milk is as high as that now.
If all the world was apple pie,
And all the sea was ink,
And all the trees were bread and cheese,
What would we have to drink
Perhaps ink as beverage would meet
no more disfavor,
Than Pleasant Valley water with that
noted "sea-weed" flavor.

And simply couldn't fail.
