England adopts this policy beneficial
to herself alone and injurious to her
neighbors, exciting their just resent
ment, right then and there has been
sown one Of the seeds Of a future war.
A wiser and more statesmanlike meth
cd Of procedure would be for Eng
land to frankly present to Germany,
France and Russia a brief Of her new
policy would be mutually satisfactory.
If either Germany, France or Russia
should reply that such a policy would,
in their opinion, prove Injurious, a
council Of nations involved could be
called and after due deliberation a
policy could be framed which would
be Of benefit to all Now, what have
we found? Such action on the part Of

CHINA'S INTEGRITY
HARDER TO KEEP UP
Former American Minister to Belgium,
Marburg, Says That Will Be Eff
feet of the War, One of the
Most Far Reaching Effects.

Philadelphia, April 30.--Theodore Mar
burg, former American minister to Bel
GUM, presided at to-day's afternoon
session of the American academy of po
litical and social science at which the
subject was Americas international
Trade as Affected by the European
War" He led off in the discussion and
declared that one of the most far-reach-
ing effects of the war is likely to be
the modification of the outlook for the
foreign exploitation of China. He said
it was going to be difficult to maintain
the sovereignty and independence of
China
Mr.. Marburg's address follows:
Trade which has been interrupted by
the war will of course revive after the
war and is apt to flow in the old chan
nels. For example the effort being made
to supplant German products in foreign
markets can bring only temporary adj
vantage. Unless stopped by hostile tar
IFS, the cheapness of German commodi.
ties are likely to give them the market
again, and certainly German specialties
win command market again, within
a measurable period OF time after the
close of the war.
"One of the most far-reaching effects
of the war is likely to be the modif-
cation of the outlook for the foreign
exploitation OF China. Despite the de-
clared policy of England for the open
door in China for its territorial integrity
and despite the professions of Japan in
respect thereto, il is going to be difficult
to maintain the sovereignty and indie
pendence OF China. Ii is not impossible
that the Chinese people themselves may
benefit by foreign exploitation. The Sc
rious task OF the world will be to pre-
vent wars over il and to secure guaran
tees of the open door commercial. The
first step for the United States to take
IN this direction is to adopt the open
loor in its own colonies. Without that
here can be neither logic nor justice in
is demand for the open door in China"

CURRENT COMMENT
President Charles H. Spooner.

The resignation Of President Charles

was rendered last November, and which
was accepted at the last meeting of the
trustees of that institution, is matter
OF deep regret TO many of the people Of
the town, as well as TO a large portion
OF the alumni.
During the eleven years that President
Spooner has been a citizen of the town,
he has identihed himself with all move

OF the village; he has given freely of his
time and strength in the promotion Of
better literature and higher class of en-.
tertainments in the village and at the
university.

CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE.
Marshall Perham Said John H. Hill
Struck Him With Shovel.

Bennington, April 30,-Marshall Per-
ham, who acknowledged the shooting OF
John H. Hill Wednesday afternoon at
the latters farm in the vicinity of Paw
nal Center. claims that he acted in self
defense. lie says that he is perfectly
willing to face the court and tell of the
particulars of the fracas which resulted
in sending the aged Civil war veteran to
the North Adams, Mass, hospital where
two bullets were extracted from one
leg.
Perham claims to have had an argu
ment over wages owed him by Hill and
that during the argument the latter
struck him on the head with a shovel.
Perham SAYS that Hill went into anoth-
er room and secured 30 calibre revolt
yer.
Seeing that his employer intended to
take drastic measures in settling the
dispute, Perham claims that he went
20 his room upstairs in the Hill home
and got an old-fashioned pistol with
which he did the shooting.
When both men faced each other with
weapons, Perham claims that Hill
snapped his revolver which failed 20
explode. Perham then fired, he acknowl-
edged, and both shots took effect though
Hill did not fall.
Sheriff Godfrey has the two weapons
and the revolver which l. claimed Hill
used. contains cartridge which has
evidently been dented by the hammer
of the arm, but not exploded, thus cor
ROTATING the statement Of Perham that
Hill's revolver missed FIRE.

the hospital, il expected to recover.

that he is not an extremely confident
| prophet. The union of Canada with the
United Staets he dismisses, and with
reason, as there is no real sentiment for
it on either side. The alternative oil
Canada becoming an independent state
he admits to be more possible. But he
deos not see why Canada should desire
her independence, since she has it now
in every essential Moreover, she is de-
pendent upon the mother country for 70
per cent. of her capital and large per
cent. of her population. Besides the
practical reasons for continuing within
the empire, there is, Sir Arthur reminds
us, a strong sentimental reason. "Many
OF the most representative Canadians
are descendants of those united empire
loyalists who in 1882 gave up every
thing and emigrated from the United
States in order to remain under the
flag" he says, and he adds the opinion
that their imperialism is as warm as
that of inhabitants of Great Britain.
Still the country is developing rapid
ly, and after two more generations Great
Britain will need to reconsider her rela-
ton with Canada, as she will then find
herself with child as large as her
self under the same roof" Sir Arthur,
it will be seen, admits that there is, or
rather will be, problem, and there is
plenty of evidence that British politi-
clans are well aware of it; indeed, steps
have already been taken to strengthen
the ties binding Canada and the mother
country, not because there has been any
fear of dsloyalty, but because it was
that, as generation after gen

lead in the direction OF complete politi- |
cal independence. The change if change
ever comes, will be the result of an evo
lutionary process, and no doubt Sir Ar !
thur is right in suggesting that for two |
generations at least sentiment and prae- !
teal interests will keep Canada allied
