hands of the rebels it was stated
that Ella De La o, civilian COM
mander Of the loyal troops at Chi
huahua City, was on his way to
Juarez with the remnant Of his

& Rebels Approaching.
The approach of the rebel leader,
Juan Andrew Almazan toward Ma
tamoros, the Mexican port opposite
Brownsville, Texas. came as no
surprise to persons here familiar
with the rebellious movement. 1t
was reported that the rebels had
cut the railroad line south Of Mat
amor0s, preparatory to the advance
of troofs toward the border.
Rebellion Spreads.
Aqua Prieta, Sonora, May L.
(By the A. P.)-Mexico is honey
combed with revolution and in
stead of the steel ring" of soldiers
President Carranza of Mexico, an
nounced would be put around So
nora, the first state to secede from
his administration; the rbels have
put steel ring of revolutionary
soldiers about Mexico City and in
every state except one." General A.

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE AGAIN.

The Springfield Reporter says that
one Of the school teachers of that town
who had been voted an increase of pay
at the town meeting spoke to her board
ING mistress about board another year
and was informed thai her room would
cnst her s. and her table board 50 a
week. When the teacher expressed
some surprise at the increase in rates
The boarding mistress replied, . Haven t
Won Just had raise?'
This illustrates the vicious circle in
which wages and expenses always move
The real question is not how many dol
lars week do you get but how much
Of the necessities of life will your
wages secure for you? 1t will be very
unfortunate if the increases in salary
granted to the teachers of Vermont are
to be absorbed by their boarding mis-
tresscs. There was no guarantee of {
more comfortable bed or more palatablt
food to the Springfield teacher. II
was simply grab game that may pre-
vent the town authorities from retain
ing desirable teachers for the publ,
schools. 1t would appear that the lif
of Vermont school teacher is to con
tinue an unjustIy hard one.

SATURDAY, APRIL "a, 1920.
LOOKS LIKE ARMED PEACE.

The meeting of the allied premiers at
Sam Reno, Italy, promises to be one of
the most important international gath
erings since the peace conference at |
Paris. America has no voice in the de |
although it has a representa- |
tive there and President Wilson has |
made known his views on the Turkish |
question. one Of the important matters
under consideration His views, how
ever, have been rejected by the other
allies and they viii settle various war
questions in their own way.
1t is not harmonious gathering as
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Nitti are not in agreement with the
French premier on the German dispute
France wants the terms of the treaty
of Versailles observed to the letter
while England and Italy are inclined
to modify them sufficiently so Germany
will observe them without military com
pulsion by the allied nations. Just
what the decision will be cannot be
foretold here but France certainly has
strong claims to more rigid enforce
ment of the peace terms upon Germany.
it looks as though an armed peace
will be forced upon Turkey, a country
incapable of living up TO its agreements,
Halib Renal Bey, president of the
| Turkish armistiee commission, who is
at san Reno, declares that Turkey will
never submit to SO disgraceful a term
| nation of her national ideals. 'sPer-
sonally / would be ready myself to en-
gage in war TO defend our frontiers,
| lie declares. The only treaty they
would sign and obey, he says, is one
providing for federation of states
which would not materially change the
existing frontiers. There is no dispo
sition on the part of the allies to grant
such terms and they undoubtedly vii
impose an armed peace upon Turkey
whatever their decision about Germany
may be-
This will not be in accord with thu
ideals of the league Of nations but j
may be the only means of maintaining
order in Turkey and compelling tina
! nation to observe the laws of civiliza
tion.

Secretary of Agriculture Meredith

most critical pulp and paper situation
in its history. OF these the newsprint
situation is the most serious. The sec

An Unchanged Opinion.
Manchester .Journal.)

The Journal has always had warm
spot in its heart for Frederick H. Rabbit,
and for several yerrs past has been hop
ing that the time would come when he
would make an active canvas for the
office of governor of the state. This
happens to be the year when he thinks
he will make the run, and it seems that
there are several other mighty likely
candidates, too. who have decided to do
the same thing, so we are confronted
with a surfeit of good things. Neserthe-
less, after having gone over the platforms
of the various candidates we fail to find
anything to make us change our opinion
of Fred Babbitt, and we shall support
him to the best of our ability.

Taking Frank w. Agan at his word
he is doing his best to overturn ma
tional prohibition. Stripped of adorn-
ing phrases this seems to be the issue
on which he is running for the office
of governor. Followed to its logical
sequence it means that he would like
to reopen the saloons, return the dis
tilleries and breweries to their pristine
vigor and permit the commercial liquor
business to again enthrall few mil
lion Americans who have been happier
more prosperous, and better able to
support themselves and their families
