belief that they were honest and sincere in
their theories. He has personally met both

That the turn of events in Hungary is
giving gravest concern to the entente, is

writer says:
Militant Bolshevism constitutes the real

Famine keeps driving men into its ranks in
ever increasing numbers"
Governor Lowden, in a speech at Indian
apolis, the other day, said:
"The menace of Bo1shevism is in the air
Bolshevism would destroy all property, de

Mr.. Fred S. Ferguson, in a cable from

armistice was signed five months ago and

it is economic, financial and social collapse

A striking feature of press dispatches is
the fact that Europe today is pointing an
accusing finger at President Wilson and
blaming him with the turn events have
taken.

HUMAN VOICE SPANS ATLANTIC

One of the greatest feats in the history of
invention was accomplished the other day,
when the human voice was successfully
transmitted across the Atlantic between Ire
land and Nova Scotia, distance of about
1900 miles.
This epochal event occurred on the morn
ing of March 49, after many months Of
preliminary experiments in wireless tele-
phony A Marconi engineer sat in wire
less hut at Clifden Ireland, and lifting the
receiver, called Glace Bay. Instantaneous
ly, the answer came, "Glace Bay talking"
Robert Wells Richie, in describing the
occurrence, in a cablegram from London to
the Chicago Herald and Examiner, said:
From that moment on, Clifden communi-
Gated with Nova Scotia, the voices carrying
strong and clear, all day. There were no
sentimental speeches, but the technical en-
gineers talked about improvements of the
system which thus carries a mans voice
across the Atlantic as readily as between
Chicago and Milwaukee"
Guglielmo Marconi inventor of wireless
telegraphy, in commenting upon the fact
that wireless telephony now links the eastern
and western continents, said:
within three months, you, from your
hotel room in London, will be able to call
up any New York telephone number and
get it inside Of fifteen minutes and then
talk for three minutes, for $5.'
Godfrey Isaacs, managing director Of the
Marconi system in England, in talking to a

RESERVOIR BEING CONSTRUCTED
FOR FIRE PROTECTION
&C. B. W.

The City of Zion has leased the large
vacant lot south of the Administration
Building. upon which 36,O0O-gallon con-
crete reservoir, for fire protection purposes,
is being constructed.
This reservoir will be similar to the one
already located on Elijah avenue, south of
Twenty y-eighth street, and will be means
of protection for residences on each side,
east and west, for distance of two or three
blocks, 1000 feet of fire hose having been
provided
Every effort is being made to furnish
adequate fire protection in the city. Two
small fires, last Lords Day. were promptly
extinguished with chemicals by the new
auto fire truck which arrived on the scene
very quickly after receiving the alarm

BRITISH INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS
HANGING IN THE BALANCE

Before this article appears in print, the
Great Britain is to face a combined general
strike of the triple alliance miners, rail
way men and transport workers.
At a conference, in London, on March
II, the triple alliance passed a resolution
recommending that the railway men con-
tinue at work, pending further negotiations
with the government with view to remove
the deadlock Both sides refused to make
an official statement, but leader of the
railway men is quoted as making the follow
ing declaration to the United Press:
eve are prepared for the worst. If we
strike we will win. If we win the govern
ment will fall, and will be replaced by a
labor ministry The government realizes
the seriousness of a general strike. It will
mean that thousands of people in the great
industrial districts will face starvation,
as the government would be unable to run
enough trains to insure distribution of sufh-
cient food.'
Henry M. Hyde, in wireless dispatch
from London to the Chicago Tribune, on
March "a, said that whether or not the train
men strike, probably would be decided at
a meeting of union delegates on March 27.
He continues:
If there is no strike it will be victory
for the regularly elected leaders of the great
labor unions. If there is great national
strike it will be because the shop commit
tees which really correspond closely to SOW

cause OF the catastrophe which now seems to
threaten civilization. Statesmen are saying
that, instead Of haggling and debating for
weeks over the provisions of the proposed
league Of nations, while the people Of central
Europe were starving and Bolshevism was
spreading like prairie fire, the delegates
to the peace conference should have gotten
down to business at once and formulated a
preliminary peace, thus insuring an early
resumption of commercial relations and Civ
ing affairs more stable character.
The London Daily Mail, one of Lord
Northcliffe's great papers, recognized as the
mouthpiece Of Lloyd George, in a leading
editorial, Of March "a, said:
Should the peace conference fail or be
overwhelmed with untoward events, the one
whom the world will blame will be Presi-
dent Wilson"
The London Daily Globe, on the same
day, referring to Hungary, said
"This is the natural consequence of the
delay of the peace conference in making
peace, and if the delay continues, we will
have worse consequences still. All this dis
cussion of the league covenant, before even
a preliminary peace has been reached, sim
ply encourages the spread of the Bolshevist
disease and gives our chief enemy oppor-
tunities for intrigue"
The weeks events have been character
lied by an uprising against British rule in
Egypt, general strikes in Spain, threat by
Italy to withdraw from the peace confer
ence unless certain demands were granted,
and by strikes and uprisings in many other
6 h.
"The last twenty-four hours brought an
ominous widening of the world 'Bolshevist
front Hungary's outbreak appears to have
set ablaze the long smoldering anarchy in
many parts of the world"

SCATHING DENUNCIATION OF THE
PROPOSED COVENANT OF THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Any one who has carefully scanned the
press dispatches of the past two or three
weeks cannot help but be impressed with
the fact that a strong tide Of sentiment is
rising over the country against ratification
Of the proposed league Of nations covenant,
by America, as it now stands.
Not only has a majority of the United
States Senate come out in opposition, but
powerful editorials, all over the United
States, are voicing strong protest.
One senator is quoted as saying that,
while three weeks ago he could scarcely get
an audience to listen to criticism OF the
league of nations, because a large percent
age of the people regarded it as something
sacred, public sentiment is now rapidly
changing, and in trip through the New
England states, few days ago, he found the
people ready and eager to listen.
It seems to be the general opinion that
President Wilson ought to have remained
at his post in Washington; that he should
have left the work of the peace conference
to delegates, and then he could have kept
in close touch with the sentiment of the
American people.
An editorial in the Chicago Herald and
Examiner, of March "a, gives long list of
rights and privileges which theiUnited States
must necessarily relinquish, should we ac-
cept the proposed league of nations, cove
nant. The list includes:
The Monroe doctrine; the right to change
our coastal defenses without the consent Of
the league; the right to deal with Mexico
except through the league; the right to pro-
tect the Panama canal; the right to restrict
the entrance of Japanese, Chinese or Hindu
labor; the right to fix our protective tariff
or navigation laws the right to forbid any
European or Asiatic nation to procure terri
tory near our shore the right to continue a
protectorate over Cuba, Panama and other
independent republics; the right to manage

Patna and Malwa has been DESTROYED and
the frst leg OF the journey to wipe out the
opium evil in China has been completed.
The inspection and burning of this huge
stock OF Indian opium, which has consumed
the best part of this month, is over. Customs
oftlc1als, government officials and representa-
t1ves OF various organizations left the kilns
shortly after four o'clock today. Over 200
chests of the Indian drug were fed to the
flames today while 201 chests were DESTROY
ed yesterday
With the destruction of this huge stock
comes the scarcity of opium in SHANGHAI
and the subsequent high price and induce
ment to smuggle the drug in. Customs
ofhclals are being confronted by the most
ingenious methods used by the opium
smugglers. With opium costing five to six
dollars pound in Russia and bringing S16O
here, there are any number of individuals
who are willing to take the chance. 1t is
SAID that at present there are between Is and
100 foreigners living in Shanghai who make
their living from the smuggled opium.
False bottoms to boxes, trunks, baskets
and what not is employed at all times
by the smuggler. In some cases women
have had shoes made especially and line
them with opium and the fit is so perfect
that it is impossible for the average eve to
detect anything out of the ordinary. Opium
is smuggled in the hat, in corsets, in the
sole of shoes, in secret pockets in the teeth.
IN fact everywhere. Even the steamers
themselves are fitted with numerous false
sides and bottoms In many instances the
engines are found to be full of opium,
Often several piculs of the drug will be
buried under tons of coal"

HUNGARY ESPOUSES SBOLSHEVISM
BRITISH PRESS POINTS ACCUSING FINGER AT
PRESIDENT WILSON = CIVILIZATION
THREATENED WITH COLLAPSE

PRESIDENT WILSON = CIVILIZATION
THREATENED WITH COLLAPSE
On last Monday morning, March a. the
world was informed, through the columns
of the daily press, that Hungary, suddenly.
and apparently without warning, had pro-
claimed solidarity with the Russian soviet
government, announcing an armed alliance
with the proletariat of that country
Count Karolyi, in resigning office as pre-
mier of the Magyar government, declared
that the hour had come for an alliance with
the Bolsheviki against the entente. The
Karolyi cabinet has been succeeded by a
coalition government, which is joining
hands with the Russian troops marching in
to Hungary. Communists and extreme So
cialists are reported as dominating the new
regime.
For weeks, unrest has been growing
apace in Hungary, not only because of food
shortage but because of lack of employment
The country has been invaded on all from
tiers by the greedy allies of the entente =
the Czecho-Slovaks, the Poles, the Rouma-
mans and the Jugo-Slavs. Instead of the
vanquished having helping hand extended
towards them, they have been treated with
hatred and open hostility. Moreover, they
were faced with demands for heavy in
demnity.
The editorial writer of the Chicago TYi-
bn',e says:
"In such circumstances, it is not to be
wondered that the Hungarians, threatened
on all sides and with an almost hopeless flu
ture should turn to the Russian Bolshevist
power for aid. In that direction only was
friendship apparently attainable The same
reasoning, from similar causes, may soon
have its way in Germany"
DR.. Bernhard Dernburg, former German
colonial minister, writing in the Berlin
TagebIatt, recently, said that Germany,
threatened with dishonor instead of security
on the West, 'must turn eastward to realize
her future"
1t is of great significance that on the
same day we were apprised of the Hun
garian-Russian alliance we also read that the
German foreign office had sent an enissary,
Carl Kautsl<y, to Moscow, to examine into
the possibilities of bringing about closer
political and economic relations with the
Bolshevik government.
Not only is the German situation giving
grave concern to officials in Washington,

HOW 7 BEGAN WITH BEES

My experience with bees may be an en-

In the year 1915, I marketed large crop
of fruit. One day in July, about 1890 in

trip and had joined my wife and others who
were picking strawberries in the field, when
we suddenly realized that we were sur
rounded by stray swarm of bees.
They began settling right where we were,

The trustees have purchased a consid-
cradle number of books, and are now en-
gagged in purchasing books with the So

All the books placed in the custody of
the trustees, and all the books purchased
] by them, have been catalogued and in
dexed; and an accession book provided.
I This work was supervised by Miss Re-
becca Wright of Montpelier, a modern
expert cataloguer, and everything seems
/ to be in readiness (date Of its dedica-
/ ton, Sept. p, 1909 for most satisfac-
/ tory service at the library for the bene-
fciaries of the trust.
But it must be remembered that a
public library, however well it may be
constructed, furnished and equipped is
j not simply to perpetuate the memory of
good man. Neither is it to serve the
purpose of a monument erected to the
memory of a great hero or military
genius that it may be looked upon, and
others inspired to great and noble
achievements
A public library may be a good one,
and contain all that is desired, including
many good and valuable books; but if
those books are not read by the boys
and girls, the young women and young
men who are ripening into womanhood
and into manhood to take their places
in the world, it will fall far short of
what some may think to be its design
and purpose.
Let the books and periodicals of this
library be freely read; and the books
taken from the library be returned with
out injury that others may experience a
like pleasure and profit.
1t is thought, by one who has heard
Mr.. Aldrich talk very freely about the
subject matter of a library, that all will
not be said without further reference to
the cordial manner in which Others have
taken up the work commenced by him.
The generous contribution of the site
by the city, defeating thereby probably
for all time the valuable tract of land,
situated in the central part of the city,
to library purposes the contribution of
the books by the Barre Library assoca-
ton, an organization that has accom-
plished such good work, and withstood
all the vicissitudes incident to its exist
ence; and in short the cooperation and
united work of all good citizens, is fit to
be reviewed by those who may succeed
us.
And may the silent voice of the tesla
tor, lying on his bed during these spring
days, patiently awaiting a passport for
taking up this work from time to time
as long as his strength would permit,
appeal to all who may come after us so
to continue this united work as to make
the public library in Barre what it ought
to be.
