Temporary Relief.

Federal agents in New York City have
been rounding up cafe proprieters &C
cused of having forgotten that the coun.
try was dry. This energetic action is
indicative of governmental earnestness
on the subject of prohibition. Almost
any government would be active with
the sharp sticks of the drys just be-
hind it.
Meanwhile, beyond our jurisdiction
preparations are being rushed to slake
the thirst of those drinkers of the grass
hopper variety who have nothing laid
up for the arid winter. Down at Kings
ton, Jamaica, business enterprise is es-
tablishing brewing industry. The brass
in barrooms south Of Florida is being
made to shine in anticipation of an I'M
precedented tourist trade, just as soon
as cooler days made the climate desira-
bic.
At present Montreal is host to an I'M
usual number of Americans, who jour

is not indispensable. Montreal has pro-

pledge, is not bigoted about it. The
law is very considerable of the sick. A
doctor may legally prescribe for a pa

Five bandits were killed in Mexico bv
the punitive expedition sent from this
country in pursuit of the captors Of Lieu
tenant Davis and Lieutenant Peterson
before the American force withdrew be-
cause of lost trails. In addition to these
outlaws Carranza troops have captured
nine others. This is the record up to
date of the action taken 10 punish the
lawless band which held the American
ayiators for ransom in Mexico and ac-
tually forced the United States to buy
their liberty
1t is explained that the withdrawal Of
the American soldiers was ordered by
General Dicloman because heavy rains
oblfterated the trails they were follow
ing, without which pursuit would be aim
less in the broken and difficult country
where the bandits took refuge II was
not influenced by political considerations
in Washington, according to reports from
the capital, which may be interpreted to
mean that Cananza's protests against
the presence Of soldiers on Mexicon soil
were not needed, On the army alone the
responsibility for the decision rests.
Thus few bandits have been dis
posed of, and the United States has once
more asserted its intention to cross the
international boundary whenever the
protection of its citizens makes such ac-
tion seem desirable. But beyond this no
progress has been made There is no
evidence of better feeling toward US
in Mexico, no promise of better under
standing between the United States and
Mexico The lamentable situation which
has existed ever since President Wilson
entered office continues, situation full
of menace not only to the property Of
American citizens but also to their lives
and to the honor of the nation.
II is intolerable that the conditions
which make life miserable for dwellers
on the international boundary should
continue forever Security and peace
must be established some day. Fortu-
nately committee of senators is soon to
expose all the facts Of this sorry bust
ness, and when its work is done the task
of bringing order out of the chaos which
has marked President Wilson's handling
of our Mexican relations will be taken

One of the interesting things in the

more particularly to the Vermont Mu-

RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross roll call viii be held the
week of Nov. 3 TO II, the chapters Of
each locality to be responsible for the
success of the campaign in their own
communities. No organization outside
the regular Red Cross organization will
be created to handle the drive, as was
done in the war fund and roll call cam
paign of the war years.
Manager James Jackson of the New
England division speaks thus regarding
the 1919 appeal:
"The amount OF money to be asked
| by the nations4 organization is Sl5,000,-
! 600 The New England division share
of this total is 81 $4,000 The principal
effort, however, VII be to obtain mem
berships Although no definite quota Of
memberships has been assigned, it is
hoped that the chapters will aim at the
goal reached last year, approximately
| 100000 members for the states Of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas.
sachusetts and Rhode Island.
"The Sl5,000,000 is needed by national
headquarters alone. To their quotas of
this total, chapters must add an amount
sufficient TO conduct their local activities
during the coming year
q. The Red Cross effort in Eu-
rope during recent months has been con
centrated more and more on establishing
and extending through the countries of
eastern Europe, as well as in Siberia,
constructive health service.
1.-THE medical and surgical supplies Of
all kinds made available for use by the
Red Cross by recent act of Congress at
once enable us to plan this effort in med
ical relief on broad, comprehensive and
constructive scale. The Sl5,000,000 to be
| furnished by the American people in re-
SPONGE to the Red Cross appeal will be de-
voted, therefore, largely to the admin
istration of this program and making
spouse to the Red Cross appeal will be de-
rived from surplus army supplies. The
materials for general relief to be admin
istered in addition to and in connection
with the above will be obtained largely
from supplies now in the possession of
| the Red Gross, or will be covered by
small expenditure where purchase may
prove necessary"
The Chester chapter of the Red Cross
has completed all the work on hand, and
this week has shipped the following ar
ticles Fourteen children's sweaters, 80
pairs children's stockings, one pair socks,
one helmet, 30 girls chemises, 30 girls
drawers, 30 ehildren's undershirts.
