ON RURAL PROBLEM
Endorses Reformer Editorial and De-
clareS Situation in Vermont No
Worse Than Elsewhere.
Editor of The Reformer:-

Editor of The Reformer:-
Your editorial on Vermont s rural
problem is very stimulating to those
of us who are thinking about the well
fare of our commonwealth in its coun-
try sections. | wish to thank you for
the inspiration which must come to the
readers of it. The rural problem in
this state is no worse than it is in 9th
er states Furthermore the morals
ideals, etc. are little different from
those of the cities. Certainly they are
not lower than in cities. The rural
problem is well defined il the fact that
country people are not living as well
as they can and should Not many dee
AIDES ago all America was rural and our
leaders and statesmen, notably Wash
ington, jefferson and Jackson, were
farmers. However, in recent times our
cities have fourished and even become
gigantic, and this at the expense of the
country.

! lation That has perhaps been a good
thing. Only about SO per cent of our
people in the United States now live in

from the city and of how we expected
that good country material would, of
course, come to the city, and in that

MEXICAN REVOLT
IS FRIENDLY
Gen. Angeles Sends Unoffi-
cial Communication Ex-
pressing Good Will
AMERICAN TROOPS
ARE NEAR BORDER
Over $4,000 Can Be Sent Across in Case
of Necessity-Angeles Says Object of
Revolution is to Reestablish Constitu-
ton of 1857.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The admins
tration does not consider the new move
ment in Northern Mexico, headed by Gen
Felipe Angeles, in the same light as the
Tinoco revolution in Costa Rica, which
resulted in the overthrow of a legally
chosen government.
It is pointed out that the Tinoco reyo-
luton was an unjustifed coup detat,
brought about by the ambition of Fred
erico Tinoeo to become president Tin
oco was a candidate for the presidency
When he saw the election was going
against him he resorted to violence. Then
he arranged for an election while he con-
trolled the election machinery.
The record of Angeles is one of con
SAINT friendship for the United States.
This is frankly conceded in official quar-
tiers. There is a conviction that if An
geIes is now at the head of affairs in
territory controlled by Villa, the lives
and property of Americans will be safe.
There is reason for believing that both
Carranza and Villa are smuggling arms
and ammunition across the American
border 1t is even declared here that
while many Americans on the border are
constantly deprecating conditions in Mex
leo, many of them do not hesitate to
run ammunition and arms across at
fancy prices.
Word received from Gen. Angeles
through confidential channels states that
the object of the movement is to restore
the Mexican constitution OF 1857 and to
protect the lives of Mexicans and foreign
ers alike from spoliation at the hands
of President Carranza and other forces
working for the downfall Of the Mexican
people
He expresses the hope the time will
come when Mexico will be restored to
the confidence of the people of the United
States. at which time he will formally ask
this government for recognition
It was said at the state department
that no communication had been received
from Angeles and none could be received
since President Carranza is the recognized
head Of the Mexican government.

following telegram, received from the
Mexican consul general at FL Paso

In the last decade, great progress has
been made in rural America and [ be-
lieve something accomplished III rural
Vermont. There are many churches
where pastors rurally minded and adapt
ed for work among country folks have
accomplished much in raising standards,
lettering social life, recreation, produc-
ing a culture, spiritual and occupation
al, and making life much more worth
while. The rural school has been great
ly improved. How much more natural,
practical and social than in the days
back when individualism ran wild in
the school room and when all We're
trained to ego out from the country
City branches of business in the coun-
try-although perhaps in spite of their
motive-have improved rural and urban
nter-relationships. The war drives have
made q distinct contribution. There
must be the most friendly and demo-
cratic interchange between country and
town, but neither should pattern after
the other Let each live is own life.
The country life movement is bring
ing on new day. l hope, Mr.. Editor,
that you continue to encourage it. | am
glad, indeed, for your article and if you

nor The French and British members
still are in Paris, and there is nothing
to indicate when they and the Italian
members will go to Smyrna Apparently
there is not a complete agreement among
the allies as to the desirability of such a

weeks ago.

ton of Turkey which does not intrust
Constantinople and Armenia to the Uni
ted States has caused the possibility OF
Americas acceptance of the mandate to
be one of the most widely discussed sub
iects in conference circles.
Henry Morgenthau,, former ambassador
to Turkey, and other American experts
on the near East now in Paris, including
representatives of Robert college and 9th
er missionary interests, favor acceptance
OF the mandate for Constantinople, Ar
menla and Anatolia by the United States
on condition that the sultan be trans
ferred to some point in Asia Minor.
| This plan is not accepted by the British
who, for political and religious reasons
wish the sultan to remain in CONSTANT
nople, and they show no disposition tC
change their views. Armenia has been ST
badly devastated that it is argued by ad
vocates of United States participation il
near Eastern affairs that it would b,
almost impossible to restore it withou
out connecting it up with part of Ana
tolia and Constantinople, thus givini
Constantinople considerable territor.
which would support it, and on the othe
hand giving Armenia and Anatolia tn
benefit of a well established capital an,
commercial center
Years of effort and expenditure will b
required to restore Armenia, in the opin
ion of near Eastern experts, but they hav
a great faith in the results which could b
achieved by giving the Armenians mod
ern agricultural implements and teachin
them modern farming methods.
