Soldiers Should Be Soldiers
AS Long As They Wear Uniforms

Commanding officers at several
camps are drawing attention to the
lack OF military courtesy and negli-
gence Of military regulations shown
Dy their men, particularly those who
have received honorable discharges
and are allowed, by order OF the War
Department, to wear their uniforms
after leaving the Service.
Maj. Gen. De ROsey G.. Cabell,
Commander of the Southern De
partment, Is one OF those who have
had the subject brought forcibly to
their notice and he has issued O mem
orandum to all organization COM
manders. He expresses the hope that
discharged soldiers will appreciate
the sl0uchiness Of dress, and laxity
OF military courtesy while still i'm uni
form not only rejects discredit up
on the individual and the organiza-
ton Of which he was formerly . mem
ber, but upon the whole military es-
tablishment."
Maj. Gen. Cabell adds:
Complaints are reaching these
headquarters regarding lack of mill
tary courtesy, negligence regarding
uniform regulations, such AZ wearing
Red Cross sweaters outside, over
coats unbutt0ned, etc. All this is no

A despatch to the VorWaerts says there
was a regular battle in the suburbs of St.

Paris, April 23rd.-The Socialist Con-

state of excess war profits and the levy
ing Of special taxes on wealthy establish

dealing in luxuries, railways and large
enterprises such as mines and banks. A
reduction in the hours of labour, the fix
ing of minimum wages and rigorous pro-
lection of mothers and children were al
so demanded. Another resolution adopt
ed called for the transfer to the pantheon
of the ashes of Jean Jaures the Socialist
leader who was aSsaSSinated in July 1914.
London, April 23rd-At the invitation
of the French Govt. two British squad

Rheims. The visit is made the occasion
for leading articles in the French news

Paris, Apl. 23rd-The Italian delegation
to the Peace Conference re-asserted its
determination to stand firm on the ques-

An early settlement of the difficulty is con-

Premier Orlando still absent Premiers

Wilson resumed this morning the con

Paris, April 23rd.-The suggestion
was widely circulated tonight in Paris
that Great Britain and France cannot
sign a peace treaty with Germany if Italy
refuses, because under the London agree

sign a separate peace. The suggestion
however, apparently has not had any

conditions are so bad and food and coal

Paris, April 23rd. The facts of the
deadlock of the Italian claims in the Ad-
Ratio, according to the Petit Parisien are
as follows: President Wilson proposed
that Fiume which is not mentioned in
the Treaty of London should be a free
city but attached to the Jugo-Slav GUS
toms system and further that the Lon
don Treaty should be subjected to a total
revision. Italy refused to accept this pro-
pOsal WhereupOn President Wilson with
drew leaving Italy alone with the
representatives of the other signatOries
of the. treaty. During the meeting of
the representatives of the signatories,
both Premier Orlando and Foreign
Minister SonninO were most G%oncilia-
tory, Orlando especially having asked
repeatedly on what condition France
and Great Britain would consent to
give Fiume to Italy. Baron Sonnino said
he was ready to discuss a revision Of
the London Treaty. However, Presi-
dent Wilson who while he was not pres
ent at the meeting kept in touch with
them, then wanted to reopen the question
of the Treaty Of London but without
joining the revision to the fate of Fiume
The President has receded from his first
proposal to make Fiume a free city
and is inclined to give it absolutely to
the Jugo-Slavs. AS to Messrs. Lloyd
George and Clemenceau they are under
stood to be ready to adhere purely and
simply to the treaty of London, at the
same time seeking means of c%oncilia-
ton.
Paris, April 23rd.-The Temps" says
that the new frontier between Italy and
German Austria apparently has been
definitely fixed as Italy demanded if and
as France and Great Britain in 1915 pro
missed it should run. The frontier will
be drawn to the north of the Bremen
Pass in the Tyrol. The Bremen Pass is
the lowest of all the passes that traverse
the main chain of the Alps. 1t is the
shortest route between Central Germany
and Italy.

MIsREPRESENTs VERMONT.

The Boston Transcript is credited
with a recent statement that Vermont
farm land is depreciating in value be
cause of the inability of the Vermont
farmers to compete with the farmers of
the West. This is a misstatement, as
every well informed Vermonter knows.
Here are some figures on the value of
all farm property in Vermont as shown
by the United States census.
From 1850 to 1860 there was an in
crease of from twenty-five to fifty per
cent in value; from 1850 to 1870, an
increase of less than ten per cent; from
1870 to 1890 there was a decrease in
value; from 1890 to 1900 there was an
increase of less than ten per cent. and
from 1900 to 1910 an increase of from
twenty-five to fifty per cent.
These figures are for all farm prop
erty, good and poor, but they show an
unmistakable increase in value. Census
figures since 1910, of course, are not
available but unquestionably there has
been a very material increase since then.
That the value of some farm properties
in the practically deserted sections of
the state has decreased is true; but the
figures given above included these de-
terioting lands and the total result
shows a gain in value.
The increase in the value of good
farm properties is known to be great and
still continues. A specific instance is
given. The adjoining farm to the old
farm home of the writer Ca hill farm of
200 acres in Lamoille county, was pur-
chased about thirty years ago by an in
dustrious young man for $4,000. He
stocked the farm, worked hard, man
aged well, improved it and paid for
it. When he moved to the farm he had
wife and two young sons. Three
more sons and three daughters were
born to the couple while living on the
farm and every one of the children
and both parents are still alive and
each of the children was given a com
mon school education and have been
married and established a home of his
own. Several years ago, the father
and mother having reached an age they
did not care to continue hard labor
the farm was sold and the aged people
moved to a small farm of ten acres
where they are still enjoying life and
a comfortable competence. Less than
three months ago this farm, bought for
$4,000 about thirty years ago was sold
for $4,000.
Similar advances in the value of good
farms are very common throughout the
state, which conclusively proves that
the value of good farms in Vermont is
rapidly increasing. The editor of the
Transcript who made the statement
that farm values in Vermont are de-
creasing would have to travel long
ways In this state to find a good farm
that could be bought for less than
double the price it would have brought
twenty years ago Such farms are
good purchase now as they are sure to
increase still further in value if prop
erly titled.
