There should be no misunderstanding
ia the matter. The law is clearly
stated
As to the value of the law toward
conserving the public health, there can
be no question. The law was intended
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
ease as much as possible and is, there
fore, a plan to be commended. What
it needs to be thoroughly effective is
to receive the hearty cooperation OF
the people Of the state.

AMERICAN TOURISTS
TO EXPECT DISCOMFORT
They Will Not Find in Europe the Con-
veniences' to Which They Were
Accustomed in Their
Visits Prior to the
War.

The Hague, May 1.-THE thousands
OF American tourists, who are expect
ed to visit Europe this summer, will be
disappointed if they look forward to
all the comforts of the days before the
war.
This verdict has been expressed to
the Associated Press correspondent by
many much harrassed Americans, who
in overcrowded trains between stops at
oyercrowded hotels, have run the
gauntlet of passport bureaus, frontier
controls and police registration offices,
institutions which still prevail IN
many countries, only in a slightly less
, degree than during the war
Passports, and passport visas, are
necessary everywhere. Even to make
the five hour trip from The Hague. Hol-
land, to Brussels, Belgian, requires
DAYS of preparation, and the days gen
orally lengthen into weeks If one ex-
presses the most extraordinary whim
! to make round trip, or several round
| trips.
An American, for instance, having
obtained in the United States Dutch
visa which permits him to land in Hol-
| land for a brief stay, desires to go TO
Brussels Just five hours away. On ar
rival in Holland he has had to register
with the police, securing an identity
card, permitting him to have bread
card, etc, flor bread is still rationed IN
many eountries.f
| Desiring to 90 to Belgium, he must
| first go to his own legation or consul
ate, to have his American passport
amended so as to be valid in Belgium.
This done, after solemn oath that
it is necessary to go to Belgium, the
would be traveller visits the Belgian
consulate or legation, finds long wait
, ing line of persons with similar de-
sire, finally is attended to, and speeds
off to the police bureau to have his
| identity card stamped in order that
he may leave the frontier. But he
must surrender his bread card first--at
still another bureau, which is probably
closed for the day. Armed with a re-
ccipt from the bread card bureau, he
returns to the police bureau, gets his
stamped identity card and probably
finds the last train to Belgium for the
| day has gone.
Even when he gets aboard the train,
which may be so over crowded that
even with first-class ticket, he may
have to ride in second or third class
commitment, his troubles are far from
ended. There are waits and passport
and customs examinations at both the
Dutch and Belgian frontiers-one ex.

1t has been frankly stated by per-
sens in Europe that Americans who go
across the ocean to visit in Europe
during the present season will not find
the good accommodations which they
enjoyed during their visits prior to the
outbreak of the war; in fact, they will
probably have to put up with large
number of discomforts before they get
back to the United States. Such q
condition is, of course, inevitable, in a
region where the ravages OF war have
not been repaired and where the old
current of life has not been resumed or
started again on better scale. Europe
/, far from being the settled-down cor
ner of the world it was before wars
first alarm was heard; the natives
themselves are not blessed with all
the comforts and all the joys and all
the conveniences of the pre-war days.
Such being the case, how could it be
expected that aliens going into that
corner of the world should fare any
better than the natives in easy finan-
ciaI circumstances? II could not be
expected. Therefore, for Americans
who enjoy a measure of comfort in
their daily life the best policy will be
70 stay.at home this summer, or for
several summers, until Europe gets
back onto its feet.

DEPoRTING CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES.

One of the unusual charges brought
IN Vermont courts was heard in Barre
municipal court last Saturday, when
man was arraigned ON the charge of
failure TO report contagious disease
In his family The law has been on
the statute books for several years but
has rarely been invoked, so rarely that
raany persons are not familiar with the
rcsdiBgso Of the law The respondent in
this case professed unfamiliarity with
tho Requirement Of the statute which
imposed on him he necessity Of report
ing to the health officer any case of con
taaious disease in his family; but
Wien the law was explained to him he
readily sgreed that be had violated the
statute through failure TO report a
contagious disease. Many other per
sons would find themselves in the same
position a. this respondent were a sim

another to get into Belgium, waits in
rooms like bull pens in which, if the
train happens to be crowded, the
scramble for subway at a rush hour
is play in comparison.
This condition, typical of travel be-
tween Holland and Belgium, is as
nothing TO the difficulties Of getting
from Holland into Germany.
Rapid progress is being made, partie-
ularly in Belgium, to restore railway
traffic TO normal, but the shortage OF
equipment, due to war losses, or short.
age of coal, due both to strikes and
war, has reduced the number of trains
operated to a figure far below that OF
before the war and all generally are
oyer-crowded. As rule, no reserya-
ton of seats, except on very long trips,
is possible.

u. S. FOREHANDED IN MEXICO'S
CRISIS.

Apparently the United States gov
eminent learned lesson in the value
OF being prepared for an emergency
through its experience in the great
World war; at least, there has been
noticeable change of front as regards
the preparations for eventuailties IN
Mexico as the result of the revolu-
ton now spreading through that coun-
try. This time the United States gov
ernment did not wait for hostilities to
break out in open battle between the
two leading factions in Mexico before
having forces. both naval and military,
ready for use in an emergency The
army forces in considerable numbers
have been on the border between Next
co and the United States ever since
1916 when an expeditionary force was
sent into Mexico in pursuit OF Nllla,
the bandit chief and latterly those
forces have been the subject of much
attention by the war department. More
recently still, however, and far more
compelling was the action of the navy
department in sending warships to
both coasts of Mexico in order, ostensi-
bly,, to protect the interests of Ameri-
cans in Mexico; also the dispatching
of United States marines to Key West,
Fla. in order to be near in case OF
necessity. These are forehanded prep
arations which might not have been
considered at all had it not been for
the lesson learned in the World war.

The esteemed Brattleboro Reformer
is scarcely consistent in advocating the
election of George o. Gridley OF Wind
sor for delegate to the Republican ma
tional convention on the ground of his
having served in public office, and in
the same editorial column endeavoring
to belittle the candidacy of Curtis G..
Emery for governor because Mr.. Emery
has held several offices. That which
makes for efficiency in one ought to
ma for efficiency in the other.

Minor farm operations, such as
mending fences, are said to be serious
" handicapped in some sections OF
eastern Vermont by the great snow

encountering snowdrifts eight feet
deep on May S. A late summer with
plenty of chances for crops to ripen
will be the only compensation for such
a trick by nature.
