1t Pays a state TO Advertise.
lNew Nork HeraldO }

The Green Mountain state, always
very wideawake has of late been particu-
larly active in extending information
about Vermont by the liberal use of
printers ink. There are state organiZa
tionS working TO that end and there is a
state magazine. the Eermonter. an at
traative publication filled with interesting
illustrations and well written text. 1t is
devoted exclusively to revealing in detail
the industrial and agricultural resources
of the state and to presenting Nermont's
Strikingly beautiful scenic attractions for
the summer visitor.
Statements calculated to give enron
eous impressions concerning Vermont
farming returns and farm living condi-
tions. for instance. have been met not
with determinations but the presentation
of statistics and facts quite unanswer-
able. In regard to climatic conditions the
same method of rebuttal has been pur-
sued. For some reason not apparent Yer
mont seems to have been selected as
favorite target for misrepresentation
with respect to the severity of its winters
1t has been repeated until it became al
most an article of faith with the unin-
formed that the state is Snow-buried in
winter. with highways blocked. schools
closed, supplies all but unobtainable in the
rural regions and farmhOuSeS showed in.
To all this the Nermonter replies with
the statement that the people up there
capitalize snow-when they can get it.
The young folks have lots of fun with it,
but 1t is not always to be had Last year
NermonterS had to haul snow from shell
tered ravineS 10 provide for tOboggan and
ski slides, while the largest city in the
state had to import ice from Montreal.
As to Nermont's isolation. it is pointed
out that farmers of the Green Mountain
state are only eight hours from New
York and six hours from Boston, to which
they send large quantities of milk every
day in the Xear, winter and summer
Strangely enough, no small part of the
advertising campaign has had to be di-
rected to diSpelling utterly unfounded no.
tons about Vermont winters which for
some reason have got abroad. As a mat
ter of fact, Vermont winters are just the
hearty. bracing. health-giving cold
weather winters that prevail generally in
those parts of New England which are
away from the ocean influences affecting
the coastal regions. They are an inyig-
Grating tonic.
NermGnt's advertising campaign will
benefit all New England, not the Green
Mountain state alone. Mistakes like
those about Nermont are more or less
prevalent about agricultural and climatic
conditions in all the New England states.
The advertising work Vermont is doing
is accomplishing much in the way of dis
Polling these erroneous beliefs. That Yer
mont'S efforts have been notably success
full may be attributed. in part at least to
the fact that there are Nermonters scat
tered all over the union. They are inn
bued with state affection and loyalty
Wherever there is a Vermonter there the
state advertising organizations have a
jealous and generally a very influential
agent.

WOMAN ADMITS
SHOOTING DOCTOR
Mrs. Raizen Says Glickstein Wronged
Her ON Eve of Her
Wedding

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-ATrs. Lillian
Raizen, wife of a Brooklyn toy manufac-
turer, confessed last night, District Attor
ney Lewis of Brooklyn said, that she
killed DIR. Abraham Glickstein at his
office on Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, Sat
urday night, because he attempted to as
sault her on the eve of her wedding last
May.
Owing to the woman's high nervous
condition. the district attorney, ques-
toned her only briefly and held her with
out bail for further examination.
Mrs Raizen, who is % years old, told
the district attorney that she had known
DIR. Glicksten for about eight years and
that she had been under his influence"
most of that time.
About a year ago. she said. she sue
ceeded in breaking the relationship
While buying her trousseau last spring,
Mrs. Raizen said. DIR. Glickstein tele-
phoned her and asked her to come to his
office. Believing that his only intention
was to-apologize for his past conduct, she
said, she called. The doctor. she told the
district attorney, made an improper pro-
poSal and then tried To attack her. but

Available Funds Provide for 1872 900 Men
Bureau May Not Be Able to RecOg-
nize Additional Units Growing In
New England.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lHRapid pro
gress in the rebuilding of the nation 5
second line of defense-the National
Guard-was made during the last fiscal
year, says the annual report today of
the chief of the militia bureau, under
signature of Brigadier General jesse
Mel Carter, retired. On last June 80,
the report says, the guard numbered 49,
$50 with 33l organizations allotted, but
not yet organized.
On the basis of expansion during last
year, General Carter estimated that be
fore the end of the current fiscal year
the guard would number 100000 men, or
some 10000 more than in the regular
army. Pointing out that available funds
for this year provide for only. 10000
men, the report says that unless in
creased appropriations are allowed
"there will be trouble ahead' for the
militia bureau.
AS existing law prescribes the pay of
the guardsmen, General Carter says
there appears to be no way to avoid ere
alton OF deficiency except by refusing
to recognize additional units duly or
ganized under provisions of the law.
Such action he adds. twill surely
cause bitter feelings and charges of bad
faith: it will crush the present rising
tide in the organization of our second
line of defense.''
Appended to the report are statements
from army corps area officers as to pro
gress in organizing guard units in the
various corps. Col. l.. c. Sherer. at Bos-
ton, says the prospects are bright for
additional units to be presented rap
idly in the first corps area, cOmpris-
ing the New England states.

December.

Austerely, palely, sternly cold
December comes to round the year;
A snow wreath on his forehead old,
And in his hand an icy spear.
A hermit white, whose thinning blood
The frost of age long since eongealed,
The entrance to whose slowing heart
The cold has long since shut and sealed
Blent with the fury of the blast,
His noisy lamentation swells;
His rheumv eve is dimming fast
sand in his beard are icicles

Dear Sir:
have read the article regarding
the Italian Star Line Inc, in the
Christmas number of La Libera Pa
rola", and I feel that certain matters
therein stated require an immedia-
te answer from me.
In my delicate position as the
attorney for the stockholders who
petitioned the Court for the appoin-
tment of a Receiver etc, tho false
statments continuously being spread
broadcrast by Mr.. YaselH, Cthe same
individual who was indicted for for
gerry on eight counts by the Grand
Jury OF the District of Columbia at
the April Criminal Term, in the year
1907, committed against his own
brother, a priest, certified copy of
all said proceeding being now
in my possession), must remain for
the time being unanswered, mas
much as any statement that ! might
make at this time would tend to
hamper and prejudice the course
which is being pursued by the pro
per authoities TO punish the guilty,
who. in their mad and desperate eff
fort to cover up their criminal acts,
have engaged and still persist in
making false and malicious state
ments for the purpose of thwarting
justice and befogging the issues
Time only will tell who are and
have been the real criminals and
conspirators and the part they have
played in this scandal, now coming
to a tragic finale.

is Emilio Jaselli lhe was indicted
under that name) and his associa.

opportunity in a very few days, tC

charged against them.
The evidence against the plotter
and wrongdoers was brought Il
light by me acting on behalf of tn
complaining stockholders and man
others, without the help OF assist
ance of Mr.. Bartocci, who, for you
information, is not associated wit
me in any business enterprise, not
