This pap'or has more than 28.000 readers I very week and ono cent a word will reach , inem an. mii The latest revolution In Russia proved to be merely a rebellion, General Kornl loff, ita father, having been deposed. No rebellion becomes a revolution until it Is successful. The Bennington Banner makes this an nouncement: "The final dismemberment of the Vermont regiment took place at Westfleld Friday. Of the 675 men who ar rived In Westfleld last Sunday about 100 have been assigned to various organiza tions of tho 26th division, leaving only tho officers, a part of the non-coms and a few privates. It is stated that the Ver mont regiment has been more completely broken to pieces than any other regiment in the United States." The Vermont boys will agree that General Sherman's defini tion, applied to this war is right. NITRATES FOIt BOTH AMMUNITION AND FERTILIZER. We have said that the development of Industry incidental to our preparation for war Is absolutely beyond comprehension. Take the manufacture of nitrate as an Illustration. This important part of am munition for our armies Is also a valuable fertilizer for our farmers. We formerly depended largely on foreign supply for this ingredient of our ammunition. Now we are to produce nitrates and other by products In immense quantity. The "Official Bulletin" contains the an nouncement by the war department of its preparation for the production of nitrates in accordance with the report of the ni trate supply committee. The location se lected is not published at this time for the reason that landholders might make it difficult to secure the desired site. The work of supplylnfg the machinery for the first plant has already begun, and Uncle Sam will soon be producing his own ni trates. The committee on nitrates was appoint ed by Secretary of War Baker under the provision of the national defense act for an investigation "to determine the best, cheapest and most available means for the, production of nitrates and other prod ucts for munitions of war and useful in the manufacture of fertilizers and other products." The committee entered' into arrange ments with the General Chemical com pany for the use of its synthetic am monia process, and was successful. The building of a synthetic ammonia plant was recommended and it was also sug gested that out of the J20.000.000 nitrate supply appropriation the sum of J3.O0O.O00 or so much as may bo necessary be set aside for such building. This first plant is to have a capacity of 60,000 pounds of ammonia per twenty-four hour day, nnd the com mittee recommended that It be lo cated in a region where land, water, coal and sulphuric acid are cheaply available, where good transportation facilities exist, and where the proposed new power plant of the government can be properly locat ed. The committee found that this loca tion was In "southwest Virginia or con tlgious region." The government has also made arrange ments with .the Nitrogen Products com pany for tho right to use the so-called Bucher process for tho maanufacture of sodium cyanide and ammonia. It is also proposed that 1100,000 out of the appropria tion be made available for active inves tigation of processses for the Industrial production of nitrogen compounds useful In the manufacture of explosives or of fer tilizers. The government will also pro mote the installation of by-product coke ovens to increase the production of am monia and toluol. In the meantime the government will act on the recommenda tion of the committee for the immediate accumulation and permanent maintenance of an ample reserve of not less than 600,000 tons of Chile saltpetre. The stimulus which is thus being af forded Industries In various connections Is of the greatest value, but Its more Im mediate significance Is that the United States Is being thoroughly prepared for national defense. BRADSTREETS VERMONT WEEKLY TRADE REPORT feraasireers Burlington office reports for Bte week business conditions with manu facturlng interests are kept fully employed by reason of numerous government orders, although thero Is considerable domestic de mand as well. The tanneries In the Stato supplied with foreign orders report the volume of busi ness Is uniform with previous reports of output to capacity. The demand for leather from domestic sources is some what oulet. Reports from paper manufacturers show some Improvement In demand, "News" has been In heavy demand but other grades are also noticeably receiving more busi ness, i issue is rainy active, and waxed paper is In active demand. Retail business Is classed as fair but trouble Is experienced In obtaining any thing like prompt delivery of goods or dered. It Is expected this situation will grow acute with the progress Into the fall period. There Is but little change noted In method of payments, with collections stilt -called only fairly good. Reports from agricultural districts show farmers are handicapped In harvesting by ae of Inability to obtain labor. Borne AMERICAN DIPLOMACY AND SWEDEN'S WAR STATUS. An old-time saying may be modified to read "Diplomacy hath her victories no less renowned than war." Europe no longer smiles behind its hand at American diplomacy. One of the most effective war strokes delivered by the United States, following the German-Mexican-Japanese farce, Is the master ful blow of the American state department in uncovering Sweden's covert assistance to Germany, while posing as a neutral. It now transpires that our government knew all along the Swedish government, particularly its foreign department, was aiding the Berlin authorities in every possible way. The Washington government patiently bided its time, however, to secure unquestionable proof, and the publication of the des patches sent as Swedish government messages to Berlin by Luxburg, the German charge d'affaires at Buenos Aires advis ing Berlin to sink Argentine ships without leaving any trace' behind, living or inanimate, is the startling result. Sweden has insisted upon its right as a neutral to sell all sorts of products to Germany, and in view of our persistence, even before becoming a belligerent, in selling the allies all kinds of war supplies, we can hardly quarrel with Sweden over this point. We can insist, however, that Sweden shall not have our products to ship to Germany, and that is what our government contemplates. As a belligerent, we have the right also to insist that Sweden shall not pose as a neutral and covertly or secretly act as any ally of Germany. In all human probability the Kaiser's war board has received much valuable information at different times from the United States as well as other countries on the American continent through the Swedish underground route. The German ruler has a weakness for using Swedes as secret emissaries because they naturally would not be suspected as would actual Germans. It is now known that W. A. F. Ekengren, Swedish minister to the United States, at present at his summer home in Edgartown, Mass., has long been under surveillance by the United States secret service. It was noticed that Ekengren alone of all the foreign representatives was a persistent attendant upon the debates of Congress, at times remaining throughout the night sessions. He was long a con fidential adviser of Count von Bernstorff, former German ambassador to the United States. From that time to this he has seldom been out of sight of our secret service men. The disclosure of Sweden's aid to Germany enforces anew the farsightedness of the Kaiser in marrying all the German princesses possible to the heirs of other rulers in Europe. We have seen the genuine military service given the Kaiser by Constantine of Greece in blocking Greek aid for the allies on the Dardanelles. We have now fully learn ed of the way in which the Czarina, another German prin cess, intrigued in Russia to the complete unmanning of that great nation in its war against her native country. Sweden now furnishes another illustration of the ef fectiveness of the Kaiser's royal matrimonial bureau as a very important part of the German war machine. Gustaf V, king of Sweden, who was born in 1858, married in 1881, Princess Victoria of Baden, a Grand Duchy in the south western part of the German empire. Queen Victoria's Ger man proclivities seem to competely overshadow any sym pathy of the Swedish court for France which might come from the relationship of the king as great-grandson of Marshal Bernadotte, a Frenchman, and a marshal of Nano- leon who was elected heir-apparent to the crown of Sweden in 1810 and became king in 1818. ' Queen Victoria has not only deeply sympathized with Germany, but she has also been actively outspoken in her championship of the Kaiser's cause, as was the Czarina of Russia. Her influence unquestionably accounts in no small degree for the secret aid the Swedish government has been extending to the Kaiser. The question now arises, what will be the effect of the disclosures of Secretary Lansing regarding the Swedish varied and effective service for Germany, while posing as a neutral. The first and most notable effect is to disgust all Germans with the Kaiser's diplomatic service. When the American state department published Zimmermann's mes sage seeking to align Japan and Mexico with Germany against the United States, the German press agreed that it made their foreign department look like three ten-cent pieces. The following of that debacle by the publishing of the messages in which a German diplomat abused his hos pitality by advising his government to sink the ships of the nation to which he is accredited, is as bad as anything pos sibly could be in intex-national diplomacy. Another very gratifying effect is the further convincing of German-Americans that the German government is not to be trusted, as President Wilson said in his reply to the Pope's suggested peace plan. , Such German papers as thcfNew York Herold can hardly find language sufficiently severe to condemn the duplicity of the German "count" who thus abused the hospitality of Argentina. The result of this disclosure must be the com plete elimination of all attempts on the part of German sympathizers in the United States to justify the Kaiser. Per contra it helps to solidify American sentiment behind the government of the United States. The effect of this uncovering of German duplicity in Argentina can be imagined. The Argentine authorities had just been pluming themselves upon their great diplomatic victory over Germany in gaining immunity for their ship ping. Now comes the publishing of the Luxburg message to Berlin to give Argentine ships the "Spurlos Versenkt" treatment; or literally "sink without leaving trace." It thus becomes manifest that the "immunity" guar anteed Argentine ships by Germany was wholly pretended and a farce, adding injury to insult. Argentina, which is the only big food-producing country not arrayed against Ger many, can now chew the cud of self-contemplation and learn wisdom at its leisure, even if it does not enter the war against autocracy. If the result of the Lansing disclosures concerning Ger man and Swedish duplicity should be the drawing of Sweden and Norway into the war, it would be a tremendous gain for the entente allies. A glance at the map will show that the use of the neutral three-mile limit about Sweden and Norway by German U-boats has been of marked advantage to the Kaiser's ruthless warfare. This neutral strip of the ocean entirely around the Scandinavian peninsula has been used by the U boats as a base to a marked degree. Within this zone British ships could not pursue the submarines. With Norway and Sweden drawn into the conflict Bri tain could promptly sweep this entire region of German craft and bottle up the Kaiser's submarines in their own "haven of rest." Indeed, the chances are that this would be the complete solution of the Kaiser's ruthless submarine puzzle. Under these circumstances it can readiy be understood that the Kaiser will exhaust every possible means .to help cover up and excuse the offences of the German and Swedish representatives in Argentina. Those men will be incontinent ly discredited for the time being as scape goats, although Germany will continue- to profit from their services. It will be difficult, however, to save Sweden from the necessity of paying the penalty of its duplicity, and the result may be an other European revolution as well as the hastening of the end of the war. hay, it In expected will bo left uncut as the present price docs not Invite extra outlay.

TUBERCULOSIS PREVENTORIUM Committee Would Like to Estab-' Iish One in Vermont. Secretary Slocum In Report Tells nbont Accomplishments nnd Hopes of As sociation In Stamping Out (he White Plague. The executive committee of tho Vermont Association for tho Prevention of Tuber culosis held a meeting at tho State labora tory Thursday afternoon, tho main bust ness being a discussion of tho report of the secretary, Harold W. Slocum. It was decided at the meeting to use as much money as possible from the salo of n,i rro oi. tn m in thi. work of car- Ing for children of tuberculosis families. If enouh monnv ran he raised It was thoought wise to open a preventorium In this State. If enough money can not be secured to further this project, then It will be the policy of the committee to do all In Its power to secure more favorable places for these children. The sum of money raised last year was $4,200 after the National Red Cross had been given Its rightful share. Every effort will be made to Increase this sum this year, and if the means are available It Is the Intention of the committee to carry on an educational campaign In Barre and Montpeller, the main purpose In mind be ing to Induce the people to vote for a tu berculosis hospital. It was also voted to secure 25 more stamping machines to Install In towns In the southernpart of the State. Twenty three of these machines .netted $18 In the past month, and the merchants say the people are using them more freely. Those present at the meeting were n. M. Bradley of Brattlcboro, Dr. C. S. Caverly of Rutland, Harold W, Slocum, secretary Dr. C. V. Dalton, Dr. Mllo B. Hillegas of Montpeller, Dr. Crclghton Barker of the bureau of municipal research, of New York city, Thomas Magner of this city, Miss Emily Dutton Proctor of Proctor, and Dr. Edward J. Rogers of Plttsford. SECRETARY'S REPORT. Harold W. Slocum, secretaryof the Ver mont Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, gave this report, In part: I have endeavored to visualize an active propaganda for the prevention of tuber culosis that Is within our limitations for the coming year along the following lines. (1) Educational work, especially In our schools by the forming of health crusade leagues. (2) The establishment of a preventorium for anemic children who have been exposed to tuberculosis. (3) To make a beginning of rural nurs ing, and, lastly to establish a hospital in the State where advanced cases of tuber culosis may be taken care of. For the educational work I have sent a letter to each of tho district super intendents of schools, explaining Just how the National Association for the Preven tion of Tuberculosis is organizing a modern Health Crusaders' League among the school children of the country. This letter explains how the league Is formed and the work which tho children are ex pected to do. It closes with: "It will in terest you to learn that Vermont's share of the Red Cross seal money will be used to equip an open air school for anemic boys and girls In danger of developing tuberculosis." "The third part of the work has to do with public nurses and the establishment of a place for advanced cases. "Last year I presented a plan for divid ing the State into districts of approximate ly ton thousand population each and co operation with the people of that district to provide a rural visiting nurse. On ac count of the war and the demands made In that connection, It did not seem advis able to endeavor to raise money to further this plan at that time. However, the opin ion Is growing all over the country that at this particular time we ought to give more attention to public health work, rather than less." ORDER OF FOREIGN WARS.

Mlannl Corps Men to Be under Military Discipline Major Leonhacuser to Take Chnrge Saturday of Mili tary Department. The college buildings aro going through a rapid series of Improvements and renovations preparatory to tho opening of college the 10th of October. The tower on the old medical college , building has been removed and the roof is being tinned over. The interior will - not bo remodeled this fall although tho original plans provided for this. A few , changes are being made In Morrill hall. ' .Two new doors are being made In tho, front of the gynaslum and all of tho woodwork on tho interior has received a coat of varnish, giving the building a very neat appearance. Several new recitation rooms are being made In the Old Mill out of some of the sleeping rooms. This will greatly facilitate the work of the Instructors and relievo the congestion considerably. This chango was necessary this year owing to the signal corps men who are to be sent i here In the near future, and prooaoiy before the formal opening of college. The Billings Library has undergone several changes and the Vermont Li brary Is now entirely catalogued. The suite of rooms provided for the comp troller are practically in readiness and Mr. Bailey Is already moving In much of his fixtures from his office In Essex Junction. SIGNAL CORPS MEN COMING. Plans are being made for the recep tion of the signal corps men. It has not been decided definitely JUBt where they will be lodged, although It was thought at first that they could easily be accommodated In Converse Hall. This seems Impractical now for the cus tom in the army Is to house the men In barracks with a great many in a room, and Converse Hall would not be large enough to houso them in single rooms. The signal corps men at the university will be under military discipline all of the time and because of this they will be kept by themselves as much as possi ble. NEW COMMANDANT COMING. Major Leonhaeuser will take charge of the military department next Satur day. Tho battalion may be larger this year than in former years owing to the signal corps men. It is possible that they may be drilled In the same units with the university students, although arrangements have not been completed for them. SEVEN SEEK SEPARATION.

The lady of many portable possessions was moving from town to tho seashore for the summer. A cab had been thought big enough to convey her nnd her prop erty to tho station, and the cabman sat there, passing from ono stage of disgust to another still deeper, while his vehicle, inside and out, was piled high with a mis cellaneous assortment of cherished be longings. At last tho task of loading came to an end. "Is that all?" Inquired tho cabman with polite Incredulity. "Yes." was the reply. The cabman looked surprised.
