War as the Sport Of Kings.

Such extracts as have been published

prince as the typical moral imbecile
of the Hohenzollern type, afflicted with
a mania for viewing war as sort OF
amiable sport for kings That he has
written his book for home consumption
in Germany with a view to popularity
with the disbanded army goes without

flatter the allies by what passes for a

of droolery is plain to all. But what

SMUGGLING FOODS
SCANDAL IN VIENNA
Anything Can Be Bought for Price,
But the Price Is Way UP,
Increasing Daily. =

Vienna, Feb. 29.--Smuggling OF food
and other necessities or luxuries be-
comes daily increasing scandal in this
hungry city.
As the crown approaches the disap-
pearing point in value the operations
of these illicit or left hand" traders
become holder and more extensive. II
is an old story now that anything can
be bought for price in Vienna. The
only new phase is that the price goes
up daily. While the city finds it diff
cult to supply the bread ration OF a
loaf of coarse black stuff, the compo-
nents of which it would take chem

double the price of early autumn, white

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the sub
stitute for calonel--are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result OF Dr.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel;;
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calonel Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.

feeling come from constipation and a

OYER 1000 TRAINED
RED CROSS PEOPLE LEFT
Although the American Red Cross Re-
lief Work Overseas Is Diminishing
as Rapidly as Consistent with
Obligations of Humanity.

as Rapidly as Consistent with
Obligations of Humanity.
Washington, d. G., March AL
though American Red Cross relief work
overseas is diminishing as rapidly as
consistent with the obligations of hui
manity, more than 1000 trained work
ers remain in the field, fighting disease
and starvation in areas as yet unable
to help themselves.
Officially summarizing the situation,
Lieut.. Col. Robert +. Odds, Red cross
commissioner for Europe, reported to-
day to national headquarters here that
aggressive and continuing relief meas
ures still were demanded by widespread
suffering in Poland the Baltic states
and south Russia. He expressed con-
viction that from now on the Russian
problem would be most vital one.
/ All energy is being used to get rellef
supplies to satisfactory bases IN the
Baltic and Black seas regions, while
the unit assigned to the Baltic states
is being increased in personnel from "a
to 20. Steps also are being taken at
Constantinople to organize further re-
lief measures in behalf of the refugees
of south Russia.
OF the total American personnel
large number are stationed in France,
conducting headquarters operations,
principally in connection with relief
supplies and their transportation. The
! personnel attached to the various com
| missions operating undeIdirectlon from
Paris total as follows: France Is, Al
bania 65, Czecho- Slovakia 3, Greece 3,
Italy 20, Montenegro "A, Poland l3l,
Rumania 20, Serbia 96, west Russia "a
south Russia 20, England ., Vienna il.
An outline of how the American Red
Cross is fulfilling its mission was given
by Colonel Odds as follows:
"The character of the work in the
Balkans is changing from emergency
relief to medical service and assisting
those peoples in erecting their own re-
lief machinery. To meet the terrible
crisis that has developed in Vienna
81 100000 worth of relief supplies has
already been given. In Italy the work
| is confined to Red Cross home service
in behalf of the families of men who
served with the American army and
Americans who served in the Italian
army who are trying to return to this
country.
"The most extensive present work is
that in Poland, where, in cooperation
with the League Of Red Cross So
eieties, the American Red Cross is
striving to check the spread of typhus
and care for the penniless refugees that
are pouring back into their homeland

Cross is being assisted in distributing

Two communications from residents
of the smaller towns of the county
were published in yesterdays Reform
or, each interesting for the suggestions
it contained and as a demonstration
of the fact that the residents OF the
smaller towns are thinking for them
selves on state problems. While their
different suggestions were in different
form. each hints that outside govern
meut is thr,lsting upon the small towns
more expense than they can stand. Mr..
Dewitt of Ncwfaue thinks the remedy
for this would be to give the towns
full control of their schools and high
WAYS and withhold all state aid for
these purposes. Mr.. Ryther of East
Dover saws the inhabitants of the
small town will soon be extinct =
taxed into the Great Unknown"
We suspect the residents of the small
towns would reject Mr.. DeWitt's rem
edy because under the present system
of raising and distributing the state
revenues the small towns receive much
more money from the state treasury
than they pay into it, for the support
of schools and maintenance of high
ways. Should they attempt to main
tain their highways and schools with
out state aid, great increase in local
taxation would be Immediately neces
sary--a much higher rate than the thir-
teen cents on a dollar of the grand list
they now pay the state.
Neither highways or schools are town
institutions at present. The schools
must prepare children for citizenship
outside of their limits. So many of our
young people leave the home town for
the larger centers they must be edu
Gated to the large place standards if
they are 10 succeed in life. So educa-
ton is not even confined to state linn
its. Highways are partially town
routes, partially state routes, and many
of them even interstate routes. High
ways that accommodate only town
traffic are no longer possible.
Should towns take over the entire
support of their highways and schools
il would not relieve them from direct
state tax of considerable size. The
state has bonded itself for more than
a million dollars for the benefit of Yer
mont men and women who served in
the world war, and its only source OF
revenue for meeting this immense in
debtedness is direct state tax equally
assessed upon all the property of the
state. The resident of the small town
must contribute his share for this
purpose.
We see no possibility that the small
towns can withdraw from state activ-
ity and state responsibility. Their sal
walton, we believe, lies in cooperation
with the whole state in solution Of
these serious problems. Such letters as
those of Mr.. Dewitt and Mr.. Ryther
however, are valuable in what they
contribute toward a general inter
change Of opinion. and The ReformeI

SMOKING UP FORESTS.
That Is the Joke in Vienna Because OF
Poor Quality of Cigarettes.

Vienna, Feb. 20 Tobacco smokers
Of this city iocularly declare that the
great Vienna forest is being gradually
smoked up in cigarettes. This Is IN.
tended as satire on the quality OF
material used in the manufacture OF
Austrian cigarettes,
Tobacco products are a government
monopoly and regulated in quantity OF
issue. The allowance to each indlvid-
ual is very small, equal possibly to SIX
cigarettes day. Smuggling is so much
practiced, however, that it is only nee
essary to pass the word in the right
quarter TO obtain cigarettes in guam,
tity. One thousand recently purchased
by the Associated Press correspondent
were of fair quality as tobacco goes IN
Austria and probably consisted OF not
more than two-thirds leaves and
grasses. But the price was equal to
first class American cigarettes such as
usually are served in clubs.
