HOW PALMER FOUND EUROPE
France Unpopular and Also Is the
United States.

Maj. Frederick Palmer, war CORE.
spondent, writer and lecturer has re-
turned from a six months tour
through France, England, Italy, Po-
land, Germany, Austria and Hungary.
"The chief interest in Europe to-
day" said Maj. Palmer, 'centers in
Russia and Germany. France is un-
popular throughout Europe because of
her predominant military spirit. The
victory over Germany has revived the
old hatred held by the French for that
country, and the war-like spiris deyel
oped by Napoleon in 1896.
"The French look on Germany as a
burglar at the door, and feel that the
allies have deserted them, and that
they alone must now stand guard over
Germany.
IF we are to have peace en- an es-
tablished basis in Europe and com
merce and industries are to be restor.
ed. Germany must be allowed to have
raw materials in order that her men
can 80 TO work. While | was in Ger
many there were thousands of work.
men idle in Berlin aud other large
cities because there was nothing for
them to do in the factories, America
and Great Britain have realized this,
and are willing to let Germany have
raw materials, but France says ne,
We want the raw materials for our
country.
"The United States is unpopular in
Germany, as we are in France, Italy
and all over Europe, because they
blame this country for everything
that has occurred since the armistice
including the high cost of living. Peo.
pie who have it are spending money
there as recklessly as they are doing
in New York. Foreigners say that
America came over and stated the
league of nations and then ran
away to leave it TO others to CON
struct. President Wilson is now with
out doubt the most unpopular man
in Europe.
Politicians of high standing in Eng
Land France and Italy informed me
that it was probable the allies would
have to recognize the Lenine govern
ment before long. as that was the on.
ly way trade could be resumed with
Russia.
THE conditions in Austria and Hun.
gary are indescribable. 1t is like a car
cass left for the vultures to pick. The
general opinion there is that Austria
will be absorbed by Germany and Hun
gary will be small kingdom on her
own account, with a. constitutional
monarchy.

influence in Germany with the masses

hopeless. New York Times.

CLOSE HEADWATERs
Sportsmen Interested in Leavens'
Plan to Preserve Trout

Montpelier April 2S.--Linus Lea.
vens, fish and game commissioner has
received reports showing that the
sportsmen are much interested in the
state plan of closing the headwaters
of streams in order to give the trout
chance to propagate, rather than
stocking with fish hatchery stock, for
it is impossible to replace the trout
under the latter plan as fast as they
are taken from the streams by sports
men. Headwaters in three counties,
Wndham, Washington and Chitten-
den counties have been closed by
state order. In order to do this the
residents in those sections have to
sign an agreement to help prevent fish
ing in these streams and see that none
takes place.
