ed in the note TO Germany that, in

ally to restore that territory to China
The general disposition here is to
regard Japan's ultimatum as some
thing that has no direct reference TO
the United States and it's interests in
the Pacific. This feeling was dem
onstrated today when resolution
presented in the House of Reprecent-
atives calling on the Secretary of
State to inform Japan that this Gov

tempt of Japan to take over the Ger

quickly referred to committee be-

for any discussion of it, In fact, no
member of the House, except its au-
thor, Representative Britten of IL
linois, seemed anxious to give it
prominence.

FIRE DEPARTMENT PARADE
Companies Made Excellent Appear
ance at Annual inspection


anee at Annual inspection
Tho annual inspection parade of
tho Bennington fire department was
held Saturday morning. The parade.
which for many years has been one
OF the chief events on the observance
of Bennington battle day. was one of
the most credtable made by the de-
pariment.
At the head of the procession were
Chief of Police Brazil and Officers
Richard +. Hurley and Andrew Crit
fin and the Bennington city band.
Following the band was Chief Harry
Spear and tho two assistants of the
department, William Sears and
Charles Briggs. Then came the
bradford hook and ladder company.
Joseph Murphy. foreman and William
Barber assistant; the Stark hose
company, Ralph Remington, foreman
and Leon b. Parker and Alden f.
Graves. assistants; the Putnam hose
company. William Hogan, foreman.
and Schuyler Dean and Edward Shan
ahan, assistants: the Eagle hose
company. Albert Houston. foreman
and Edward Briggs assistant: and
the steamer with George Harwood as
engineer.
This was the first appearance OF
the Bradford company in their new
uniforms and each member of the de-
partment looked his part in the
parade. Another reason why the de-
parlment made such fine showing
this year was because a larger pre-
centage of members turned out Sat
urday than had been the case in sew
eral years previous.
