1t reads like good old times that the
Vermont militia boys are going to mus
ter this week. May they get some
profitable training and, along with it, a
measure OF enjoyment. With TIE mus
ter taking place at Camp Devens and in
a military environment, the effects ought
to be very valuable from the standpoint
of military development. 1t is unfortu-
nate that a full sized regiment cannot be
taken along for the purpose, but there is
certainly a good nucleus for an effective
military organization.

In assuming that the taxpayers of
Brattleboro would not wish them to
settle with the Connecticut River
Power Co. for the loss of the steel
bridge on a $3.50 basis the selectmen
are probably correct in their gauge of
public sentiment. Although compare
lively little comment has been heard
on the subject of late, there seems to
be no reason for believing that
opinion as to the power company's liza
bility is any different than when the
bridge was washed away last spring.
At that time there appeared to be an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of
looking to the company for settlement
of the whole damage. By a close mar
gin in a slightly attended town meeting
Hinsdale, N. H., this week agreed to a
$3.50 settlement with the power COM
pany, but when it is remembered that
the company pays more than half the
towns taxes and that Hinsdale's share
of the bridge cost is but one-fourth of
the total it is not difficult to under
stand the motives which prompted this
action. As far as the power company
itself is concerned it probably eonsid-
ers the precedent to be established of
far more Importance than the money
involved.

Without attempting to take sides in
the controversy that seems to have de-
veloped over the rental of the Audi
torium The Meddler believes the select
men were wise in deciding not to lease
the property outright as was done last
year. So long as Brattleboro retains
ownership of a town building it should
be under such conditions as will give
precedence to public use even though
the net return on the property is less
than would be the case otherwise.

 With reference to accusations charging that he had German sympa- thies, Premier Giolieei declared he had never been pro-German. He said American economic and assist. ance shortened the war greatly.
 Raps Secret Diplomacy
 Premier Giolitti said he hoped to have a law passed soon by the Italian Parliament providing that no treaty would be valid unless discussed and passed by the Parliament, by which he claimed all secret diplomacy would be killed.
 Relative to his conference with Premier Lloyd George. the Italian Premier said the official communique expressed exactly his opinion. which he said. was in perfect accord with that of Premier Lloyd George on European problems.
 We both ardently want peace. he said. "and hope that the Russian Polish and also the Adriatic question will shortly be satisfactorily settled but Plume must either remain Italian or be internationalized We cannot cede an Italian port to the Slavs.'

NEW WAR LOOMS
 IN M|D-EUROPE
Hungarians. Poles, Czechs Will Be Locked in Death
 Struggle Soon, Prediction

BUDAPEST, Aug. 30.-Central Europe and Germany will surely be war and political storm centers soon, in the opinion of Victor Dvor- cak, who was president of the Slo- yakian republican for period of a few weeks previous to the annexa- tion of Slovakia by the Czechs in November, 1918. Slovaks in the United States invited him to visit them this summer
 'I have just completed tour of all Europe" said Mr Dvorack, and these storms are in the air. Ger many will break up into the small states of a hundred years ago. The 3 100000 Germans now held by the Czechs will join the Saxons, while the Austrians will join the Bavar- ians, perhaps.
 There will be a war between the Poles and the Czechs, as the latter have an understanding with the Moscow government. In this war Hungary will help the Poles, in order to get back Slovakia, once her province. Should the Rumanians have difficulties with the Russian Bolsheviki over the old province of Bessarabia, this will be a signal for the Hungarians to get back Trans vylvania. The Hungarians know well that the Allies cant help the Czechs in a military way, and per haps wouldn't if they could.
 ''The point that troubles the Hun earians most is the possible atti- tude of the Serbs should the Hun garians engage in a new war. They hope that Italy in such case would threaten the Serbs. Should the Hun garians first strengthen themselves by helping the monarchists in Aus tria to overthrow that republic, and then be joined anew under former Emperor Charles. perhaps acting as regent for little Otto. the former Crown Prince, the case with Serbia might be helped.
 Hungary is in such a condition at present that she cant abide by the frontiers of the peace treaty. Two-thirds of her territory has been taken by the Czechs, Serbs. and Ru- manians. the later getting nearly one-third. Her population has been cut from 20.000,000 to 8,000,000.
