American @Fire Water Defended.

American rye whiskey has been
blamed for a notable increase of drunk
enness in Great Britain, but this theory
Is secuted by the Manche Guardian,
which points out that the lapse from
wartime sobriety has been noted in
cities where little of the imported liq-
nor was sold, and that in any case un-
der the regulations il must be broken
down TO the strength of Scotch and
Irish whiskey, 30 under proof. II quotes
a Manchester dealer as saying that to
call the American whiskey sire wa
ter" was unfair: 1T was quite toler-
able stuff if inferior to our whiskies.'
At all events il seems clear that the
dumping of American whiskey on the
market was not the cause of the in
cres.e in drunkenness, except a. il
helped TO relieve the "whiskey short
age" Of which the British press has
been full. Probably rehabilitation has
been much greater Spring

MILK CRUSADE
CONTINUED from page u


services of C. A. Lundgren, an. official
who served notice to owners when TO
bring their animals for test. Mr.
Lundgren assigned the stalls which had
preyiously been disinfected and gave
notice TO owners when tests were COM
pleted so the cows could be taken home.
Dr DeFosset states that with such
splendid cooperation any city IN the
United States could be cleaned up.
Mr.. Lundgren kept the cows coming
and going like clock work aud there
was apparently no friction or misun-
derstanding
Some individual owners considered II
a hardship to be required TO assemble
their cows at central testing station
but these men should not lose sight OF
the fact that many cities in the United
States require tuberculin tests at regu-
lar intervals on COWS furnishing their
milk supply and while their ordinances
allow tests made by private veterina-
rians very few provide for the expenses
involved in these required tests, which
cost on the average $50 each. II takes
lust as long TO test one COW as u does
an entire herd or large group.
Was the Crusade Necessary?
In this campaign there were, sent to
the Burlington rendering plant for
slaughter from the vicinity of Barre
about 10 carloads of tuberculous cattle
which supplied many homes With milk
which undoubtedly was consumed be-
fore il was pssteurized. The total
number of cows condemned in and
around Barre by the state and federal
officials as tubereulous was 379. Sixty
one had tuberculosiS Is generalized
form and were considered very danger

the total .aumber condemned which
showed no visible LESSONS of diseases
on autopsy. Three of these six, how
ever. had other abnormal conditions,
for which one was condemned on meat
inspection. Suspicious tissues of the
six were sent to the pathological lab

MONTPELIER
Montpelier Legion Had an Easy Time
With st. Adams Legion Team

Montpelier post American legion,
basketball team added another to its
list of victories when it met the st. Al
bans team in Montpelier last evening,
winning by score of 60 to Is. There
was no time after the first five minutes
of play that the visiting team had a
chance of winning the game. In the
first period the local boys played all
around the visiting team, with the re-
suit that the score stood 80 to s at the
end of the Commute period. The reg
ular team played portion of the sec
ond period, and then Hudson, Kelley
land McGibney were placed on the team,
relieving Gross. Bartlett and Laird.
This weakened the team work Of the
team quite little, but even then the
visiting team were unable to do much

part of the second period, STALLED"

in case the visiting team should brace

some of the faster teams from Massa

good deal OF passing occurred in the
first part of the game, with the result
that Bartlett, guard came down the

Secrecy in Soviet Ark's Departure
 Held Inadvisable

Washington, Feb. 12.-Ships sail ing from American ports with dan gerous anarchists and aliens, like those deported on the transport Bu- foAh should go out in broad daylight wiSh flags flying, F. W. Berkshire, irfiinigration inspector at Fl Paso. Tex, told the house immigration committee today in relating the story of the recent voyage of the soviet ark"
 .There was no doubt as to the ad- visibility of deporting the 249 aliens headed by Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman" said MT. Berkshire, who was in charge of the party on the way from New York to Hango, Finland. "Every one of them ought to have been deported. But the Buford ought to have gone out in the day. time, with her flag flying high. do not believe the secrecy sur rounding the ships departure was necessary. It's more apt to make anarchists deported and those still at large believe we are afraid of them"
 Berkman and Goldman were de- scribed by the witness as danger ously shrewd persons" Miss Gold man, he said, was emphatic in declar- ing aboard ship that she would re- turn to this country to establish her citizenship.

ID. s. to Redeem
 Last of Floating
 Debts on Monday

Washington, Feb. 12.-Announcing that the last remaining floating in debtdeness of the government would be redeemed Monday, Secretary Hou- stpn said the position of the treasury was "vefy bright" and that govern ment officials saw nothing in the present financial situation which they would regard as extremely grave.
 Only about s60,OOO,OO0 of short term certificates requiring to be re- funded at maturity remain to be rem dcred. Outstanding tax certificates, issued in anticipation of income and profits tax installmcnt dates for the purpose of relieving the quarterly strain on the banks, amounted to $2,- 935, ,949 ,500, but in no instance ex- coed the estimated amount of taxes and accordingly no funds will have to be provided to meet them.
 Secretary Houston did not mini mjze pains and difficulties" still to b8 encountered in the process of re- cQnstruction, but declined to enforce the pessimistic views of some pub lie men who have forecast crash in the International financial fabric

Silver and Gold
 Thrown Away to
 Emphasize Waste

Northampton, Mass, Feb. 12.- -Sil- vdr and gold were thrown away here ydsterday to demonstrate talk on tle waste represented by the alleged careless among factory workers. The treasurer of a hosiery company told tfe operatives that in week Ill., 7@ needles, worth 1 IA cents each h&d been lost.
 Thc effect was the same, he said, ax if $147 were thrown from the shop window, whereupon the treasurer took from his desk a pile of $147 sil- v6r dollars and tossed them out of the window.
 Silk scattered under foot was as much destroyed as if thrown away, he added. Estimating the amount of loss from this cause last week at $50. he tossed gold coins among the workers.
 Some listened to the treasurer's later remarks, others scrambled for the gold. while many rushed out of doors to search for the silver in the enow.

Grown Prince was Serious in Offer
 to Give Self Up

The Hague, Feb. 12.-It is declared in reliable quarters that Former Grown Prince Frederick William was serious in making his offer to the entente governments to surrender himself in place of the Germans on the extradition list and that he is inclined to believe that the allies will accept his plan.
 1t is learned here that Former Elm peror William is strong in his dis approval of his sons action.
 Nothing was known at Wieringen of the ex-Crown Princes intentions before his messages to the heads of the various governments had been dispatched, and the only notifica- tion given by Frederick William was one to the Dutch government when he sent the communications abroad
 Newspaper reports to the effect tlat the Grand Duke of Hesse and his son and likewise seven German generals named pn the extraditior list had escaped into Holland are discredited at the Dutch foreign office. That office declaped it die not consider it possible for the men named tc cross into Dutch terri tory.

to Preside at Next Meeting
 of the Cabinet

Washington, Feb. 12.-The next meeting of the cabinet probably will be called and presided over by Pres ident Wilson.
 Secretary Lansing, who has been issuing the calls for the meetings for several months, said today he had written cabinet officers that there would be no more regular sessions of the presidents official family for the present. He would offer no ex- planation, but it was understood that his letter was written by direction of Mr Wilson.
 Turnout the presidents illness, the cabinet has met regularly and when the coal strike situation became acute, the meetings were increased from one to two weekly. There was no meeting yesterday and none will be held tomorrow.
 For several weeks now, the pres ident has been taking more and more hand in the conduct of official business. Secretary Tumulty said he had never seen MT. Wilson looking better.

 "A comparison" the statement said, .sof the excess mortality rate per 10000 of population for the re- spective peak week of 1918 and 1920 shows: Chicago, 1886 compared with 4,62O in 1918; Milwaukee, 1,434 as compared with 1915; Washington, 2,O72, compared with 9,789.
