The proper pronunciation of Juarez is

The Handley-Page machine crew did
not start their over-ocean flight when
intended. Hereafter there will not be
such an incentive to take "the trip, now
that the trick has been accomplished.
Although he has expressly stated that
his .forthcoming speaking tour in the
United States will be for the purpose of
supporting the league of nations, Presi
dent Wilson will, of course, be accused
of electioneering for himself. That is
just about as inevitable as the fact that
the sun is going to rise.
Harry Hawker comes to the fore again
with his ridicule of the American man
ner of crossing the Atlantic wean by
heavier-than-air machine; he expresses
pleasure that Alcock and Brown were
able to fly across "in real fashion with
out warships and all that sort of thing."
Hawker's own failure to get across the
ocean seems to weigh heavily on his good
manners.
Something more than legitimate press
agent work was done in advertising the
University of Vermont varsity baseball
team as one of the competing teams in
a Sunday game at Rutland when, as it
turned out, only one member of the var
sity participated, the remainder of the
players being picked up at random in
Burlington. It certainly did not do the
University of Vermont any good to be
advertised in such a manner, and the in-
dignation of the college faculty is well
' founded.
Up to date, the wireless equipment Ij&a
not proven of much value to the airmen
who have tried the non-stop flight across
the Atlantic ocean. But that is not to
ay that the wireless has proven to be a
failure. Perfection of the equipment will
be likely to place the system on such a
basis that the sending of messages from
the airplanes to ship's and to shore over
i considerable distance will be possible.
Much of the practicability of trans-ocean
flying will depend upon the assistance
which the wireless will be able to give.
The band of gypsies who raised $155
to pay fine and costs of one of their fe
male number, convicted of robbery from
a Guilford farmer, promised to get out of
the state just as soon as possible and
never to return providing they were giv
en a reduction of $7 in the aggregate of
the court assessment. They had claimed
that they could not raise the entire
amount of $162-, and the court accepted
the smaller sum. The prosecution of
them was well carried outj their promise
never to return to Vermont is something
of uncertain value. However, if prose
cuting officers in other communities of
Vermont will be as prompt to drive the
gypsies out as were the officers of Brat
tleboro and as swift to prosecute as were
the officers in the Guilford robbery case,
Vermont will not have a high mark for
hospitality among the nomads who wan
der over the North American continent
seeking to gain their livelihood in. the
easiest manner possible and making a
nuisance of themselves in nearly every
place they visit. Most of these gypsies
are not desirable acquisitions, even temporarily.
A LESS NIGGARDLY POLICY BEING
DEVELOPED.
Now that the government in Wash
ington has taken a new course to secure
desired publicity, . that of advertising in
the newspapers at the regular rates
charged other legitimate advertisers, the
editors of the newspapers may expect
to note a decrease of the stream of beg-
. ging letters received from government
departments, in which the departments
plead that they have no allowance mon
ey for publicity but they do need the
publicity, oh! so much and, therefore,
cannot the editors see their way clear
toward donating valuable space. To be
. sure, the government has not launched
out very far on a practical scheme of
advertising for what it wants, but if the
arrangement is found to be 'effective it
is probable that other departments will
follow the same course. Up to the pres
ent time the newspapers have donated
millions of dollars' worth of space in
forwarding the various efforts of the
government in its war moves but they
cannot continue to do it longer under the
flattery that they are being patriotic.
Newspaper space costs the newspapers
something and where the newspapers
give it away they have nothing to meet
the cost, whether they give it to the
governwai to private parties.
ARMY OF 600,000 WILL
ADVANCE ON JUNE 24
IF GERMANY REFUSES
(Continued from first page.)
greater part of the civilized world, and
there can be no question of admitting
the right of jurisdiction of representa
tives of countries which look to part in
the war. The allies, it is declared, will
stand by the verdict of history for the
impartiality and justice with which the
accused will be tried. The accused will
be insured full rights to defense and the
judgment of the tribunal will have the
most solemn judicial character. The al
lied and associated powers are prepared
to submit a final list of those who must
be handed over to justice within one
month of the signing of the treaty.
The right is reserved to demand of
Germany also her credits in Austria,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
In the discussion of the economic
clauses, the reply states that the prin
ciples enunciated by President Wilson
and embodied in the covenant of the
league of nations as to the quality of
trade conditions wiLl be brought into ef
fect when the world returns to normal,
but in the meantime a transitory regime
is essential to save certain allied states
from a position of economic inferiority
because of the damage done to their ter
ritories during the war. Reciprocity is
impossible at present and a general and
indiscriminate re-application of multilat
eral and bilateral treaties cannot be ac
cepted. Consular relations are not reciprocal,
owing to the war activity of German
consuls. Private property of Germans
abroad may be justly used to meet repa
ration charges. The property of German
institutions for research, it is said, "can
not be immune in the light of their past
activities."
The German proposals -relative to seri
al navigation have not been accepted.
It is pointed out that German objec
tions to the clauses pertaining to ports
and waterways are too general to admit
of a detailed reply. After outlining the
objections made in the. German counter
proposals the reply declares that until
the transitory period is passed, and gen
eral conventions can be laid down, it has
appeared essential that the provisions of
this section of the treaty must be en
forced. Provision is made for the exten
sion of these provisions and for the ul
timate grant of reciprocity, but only aft
er five years, unless the league of na
tions decides to prolong the period. No
attempt is to be made to prevent the
legitimate use by Germany of her eco
nomic resources, but rather to secure
freedom of transit for young, landlocked
states. The commissions established by
in is section of the treaty will function,
not alone over German territory, but
over at least one allied country as well,
it is said.
The two notes already sent in reply to
the German notes relative to the labor
clauses of the treaty are said to cover
this subject. The treaty makes provi
sion for the protection of labor in ceded
territories and a plan for reaching all
cases not reached by direct negotiations
to international technical commission is
inserted in the convention.
In taking up the clauses referring to
guarantees the reply quotes an address
by President Wilson, in which he said:
"The reason why peace must be guar
anteed is that one of the parties to that
peace has proved that his promises are
not worthy of faith."
Military occupation by the allies will
continue as a guarantee far the execu
tion of the treaty. There will alo be
constituted a civilian body called the inter-allied
Rhineland high commission,
consisting of four members, representing
Belgium, France, Great Britain and the
United States. It shall have civil pow
ers and enjoy diplomatic privileges and
immunity. The civilian administration
shall remain in the hands of the Germans
except when it may be necessary for the
high commission to act. The allies re
tain the right to requisition in kind and
to demand services. Germany will be
responsible for the expenses of the high
commission as well as for those of mili
tary occupation.
Germany will undertake to place at
the disposal of the allied troops such
military establishment and accommoda
tions as may be required. The transport
service and the telegraphic and postal
personnel will obey orders given on be
half of the commander-in-chief of the
allied armies for military purposes. The
high commission will have tha power,
whenever it considers it necessary, to de
clare b, state of siege in part or all of
the territory concerned.
The allied and associated powers re
fuse to enter into a discussion with the
principles underlying the reparations
clauses, but certain observations are
made, especially as the German proposals
are said to "present a view so distorted
and inexact as to raise a doubt if the
clauses were calmly and carefully exam
ined." The problem or reparations is of
such extraordinary magnitude and com
plexity that it can be solved only by a
continuing body, limited in personnel and
invested with broad powers. The repara
tion commission is, the reply declares,
instructed to exercise its powers so as
to insure in the interest of all as early
and complete a discharge by Germany
of. her reparation obligations as is con
sistent with the true maintenance of the
social, economic and financial structure
of Germany. It is pointed out that the
commission is not an "engine of oppres
sion, nor a device for intertenng with
Germany's sovereignty. Its business is
to fix what is to be paid, satisfy itself
that Germany can pay and report in case
Germany does not pay. The commission
cannot prescribe or enforce taxes or dic
tate the character of German budget, but
may examine the latter to see if any
modification is desirable, probably in
Germany's interests, and to be assurdd
that the German taxation is at least
as heavy a the heaviest allied taxation.
It, is pointed out that not only are the
conditions not incompatible with the
creation by Germany of a commission
to represent her in dealing with the rep-
m

aration commission and for such co-operation
as may be necessary but it i9
greatly to be desired that she will take
exactly that step.
The powers are willing that within
four months of the signature of the
treaty Germany may submit any pro
posals she may choose to make. In par
ticular she may offer a lump sum for all
or part of her liability, undertake to re
construct all or part of a damaged dis
trict, offer labor, technical service or ma
terial for reconstruction, or, in short,
suggest any feasible plan to simplify the
assessment of damage, eliminate any
question from the scope of the inquiry,
promote the performance of the work
or accelerate the. definition of the ulti
mate amount to be paid. Germany must,
however, negotiate direct with the pow
ers concerned before making the propos
als, submit them in unambiguous form
and accept the reparation clauses as
matters beyond dispute. No arguments
or appeals directed to any alteration will
be entertained.
Within two months thereafter the al
lied and associated powers will answer
such proposals and agree to consider se
riously and fairly any suggestions made.
It is said the problem is largely one of
statistics of which the powers have re
ceived but one side. Germany is invited
to produce evidence which will accelerate
the settlement.
The reply says that the Germans made
no definite offer as to reparations, but
"gave only vague expressions of willing
ness to do something." The sum of 100,
000,000,000 marks, which was mentioned
in the enemy counter proposals, is said
to give the impression of an extensive
offer, which upon examination it proves
not to be. Interest was not to be paid
until 1928, there was no substantial pay
ment after which there could be a series
of undefined installments running over
nearly half a century.
Declaring that the resumption of Ger
man industry is of interest to the allies,
as well as to Germany, the reply declares
that commercial facilities wiil not be
withheld from Germany, but they will
afford to Germany facilities for food sup
plies, Taw materials and transport under
conditions which cannot be laid down in
advance.
"Meanwhile the treaty must be
signed," the reply declares. "The bur
dens of Germany undoubtedly ara heavy,
but they are imposed under conditions
of justice by peoples whose social well
being and economic prosperity have been
gravely impaired by wrongs which it is
beyond the utmost power of Germany
to repair."
In the financial section of the reply it
is stipulated that reparation must be
made prior to the settlement oi all other
German public debts, with such excep
tions as the commission may approve.
Payment for food may also be a first
charge, and gold may be exported on ap
proval. Germany must pay the expense
of military occupation, as an essential
guarantee of peace, and war materials
surrendered after the armistice cannot
be credited against reparations. Lib
erated territories will bear their portion

;After the events of the war," it is
said, "the powers have the right to de
mand that Germany be no longer inti
mately involved in their financial or eco
nomic life, or in that of Germany's for
mer allies or Russia. As the greater
part of Germany's foreign securities
