civil military forces whose disband-
ment is demanded by the allies.
For the second time the German gov
ernlnent has filed with the League Of
Nations a formal protest against the
occupation of additional territory by
the allies; and the officials Of the al
lied nations are proceeding with their
plans to exact further penalties If
Germany persists in its refusal TO pay
1900, 100000 gold marks by the first
Of May. There is no evidence that the
Germans will pay, and some Of the
allies, especially the French, are con-
vinced their former foes are actually
preparing for new war. Marshal
Fayolle is quoted as saying the Ger
mans are making cannon and machine
guns, and especially are forwarding a
huge aviation program, and that in the
next conflict London and Paris will
be deluged with bombs from supposed
ly Commercial" airplanes. He is
convinced that unless the allies take
firm action at once, Germany will
never carry out the Versailles treaty.
The vigorous Greek offensive against
the Turkish nationalists in Asia Minor
progressed merrily until Eskishehr was
reached. At this railway junction,
where the Greeks were defeated some
months ago, disaster again overlook
them, according to dispatches from
Constantinople, and after a day-long
battle they were forced to retreat
after losing many In killed and cap
tured. The report of the Greek defeat
may be exaggerated, for 1t emanates
from Kemalist sources.
Greek successes in Asia Minor are
not pleasing to any but the Greeks,
and possibly the British, and even
the regular" Turkish government at
Constantinople protested to the allies
against the Greek offensive. Italy es-
pecially Is sore, and relations between
Athens and Rome were strained when
Greece announced a blockade Of Asia
Minor and accused the Italians of
smuggling war munitions to kemal
Pasha. The French fear that proposed
occupation by the Greeks of the Dar-
danelles will insure British control of
that important waterway, and Rou-
mania has entered formal and bitter
protest against the composition Of the
commission controlling the Darda-
nelles, insisting upon equal voting pow
er with the Greeks and the Turks.
Bulgaria will not overlook any chance
to regain Thrace from the Greeks, but
the latter hope to obtain the support
Of the Serbs in any conflict over that
territory by helping them in Albania
and Macedonia. Thus, according to
world diplomats, war clouds are once
more appearing over the Balkans.

Rene Viviani, Frances special en-
voy to the United States, has been re-
ceived by President Harding, despite
the ridiculous protests of the Friends
of Irish Freedom, and in converse
tions with the Chief Executive, Secre-
tary Hughes and other administration
leaders began his task Of discovering
on what terms the United States will
join the allied nations in restoring
peace to the world. He is here, he
insists, only to listen and report, and
not to make any suggestions on be-
half of France. For definite answers
to his questions he must wait until
President Harding takes up interna-
tional questions with his cabinet and
with leaders In congress.

Discussion of one Of the administra-
TONS most serious problems-that of
the railways-was taken up in earnest
last week, and though to the lay mind
it seems almost insolvable, the ex-
perts in such matters believe it will
be solved by the interstate commerce
commission and the railroad labor
board working in closer conjunction
than had been contemplated when the
latter was created. Senator Cummins
and Representative Mondell assert the
machinery under the transportation
act is adequate in the situation and
that no further legislation will be
needed. 1t is the position of the Pres
ident and his advisers that the gov.
ernment should do all 1t can to facil-
itate the return Of the railroads to
former conditions, and it is admitted
that both high freight rates and high
wages must be reduced. Present
rates are undoubtedly retarding great
ly the movement Of commodities, es-
pecially farm products, and the roads
suffer in revenue accordingly. OF
course the railway unions are oppos-
ing any reduction in wages, asserting
this would be unnecessary were it not
for willful extravaganza on the part
of the railroad managements. The
senate committee on interstate COM
merce plans an investigation that shall
establish the truth or falsity Of the
charges made by organized labor.

Explaining Lunar Rands.

Puiseux, the distinguished selenog.
rapher Of the Paris observatory,
some time ago reached the conclusion
that the curious rays or bands ex.
tending in straight lines away from
many lunar craters, such as the cele-
brated tycho are produced by the
deposition OF volcanic ashes carried
to great distances by the winds that
happened to prevail when the erup.
tion occurred. He accounts for the
relative narrowness Of these bands
which are never more than 80 miles
broad, although their length is some
times many hundred miles, by sup
posing that only the central axis Of
the deposit has remained, the less
dense borders having been destroyed
by the denudlng forces of the air when
the moon had considerable atmos-
phere.-Washington Star. -.

A FEW OVER 1900 HAVE
JOINED RED CROSS
Officials Look for Larger Registration
Before Close of Annual
Roll Call.

One thousand, two hundred and nine
teen members have signed up" in the
town OF Bennington since the annual
Red Cross roll call began on Armis,
tice Day, an Improvement over the re-
suits attained last year but nothing
like the registration that should be
obtained in community of 10000
Officials and canvassers have hopeA
and still hope, for a considerable in
crease in the local membership before
the roll call period ends. 1t was ex-
pected that the people OF Bennington
would appreciate to a larger extent
the new activity of the Red Cross in
Bennington, nursing organization
which should be local in its scope.
Through the generosity of Mrs Nc
cullough and Mrs Jennings of North
Bennington, such an organization was
maintained in Bennington for num-
ber Of years and the benefits derived
from II are thankfully remembered
today by many people,
II is plainly apparent that an in
stitution OF this nature should NOT be
maintained in such q manner. and Il
Is now being taken over by the one
great society that is competent to car.
ry on the work. Miss Ida Randall,
who has been engaged as the local
nurse is detained at home by illness
IN her family but is expected to arrive
in Bennington in few days.
No reports have been received from
other towns in the county. Manches-
ter is to institute q one-day canvass,
the plan adopted In Bennington and

the victims of ruthless war. Mr..
Crathern gave vivid description OF
the siege Of Marash and OF the evacu-
alton Of the city by the French forces.
He described the horrors of the siege
when 10000 poor Armenians were
massacred by the Turks, when the
victims including the Americans were
reduced to one ration a day: when
mules and horses were killed to feed
the people and when on that fat
journey OF four days twelve hundre
poor refugees perished in terrible
blizzard that ragged for "a hours on
Friday the 18th of February.
In closing the speaker made an
urgent appeal for the sympathy and
support of the people of Bennington
when in the near future such an ap-
peal is made for funds by the Near
East Relief Organization Of Vermont.
The state director OF Vermont and
New Hampshire will be glad to give
any information to people desiring
the same by applying to Near East Re

VARIETIES or HUMAN FOOD
Decidedly Odd Material Sometimes
/ Employed for the Purpose of Pro-
viding Nourishment

1t Is Interesting 10 consider some VI
the more or less odd material which
man has been led TO choose for the
purpose of food Environment, OF
course, must be factor in regard
to this choice, and necessity also. 1t
IS hard to Imagine that earth would
be used as food and yet such has
been the case In many countries dur
ing famine. The Laplanders mix earth
with their bread, the Russian uses u
"rock -four" and the poorer classes
in Hungary (where now nearly every
one Is poor) are driven occasionally
to eat an earth which contains only
a triiling proportion Of nourishIng
principles.
The use of seaweed as food Is an
example of the determining factors
OF both necessity and environment.
II is not little astonishing to find
that number Of seaweeds are really
edible and fiourishing. Perhaps the
best known example Is layer, which
Is kind of stew made from weed.
nm algae. The laver made on the De-
vonshire coast OF England, and TO be
found In some London shops, Is said
to be excellent. The sea algae, In
deed, prove on analysis to contain a
considerable proportion OF heterogeneous
matter, and as they are usually ten
der, they are dieestible. There are
also several sea mosses which are es-
teemed for their esculent properties.
Agar sugar Is another example of a
sea yielding nutrient Jelly 1t Is
supposed that the edible birds nest

its origin in the birds feeding on

tain glands which are developed dur.
