1t is understood that on the same
day the United States acting independ

Japanese government that certain of
the Japanese demands were not in cor

American and British opinion
throughout China are in concord in
this matter. as voiced privately, semi
officially, and by the press. Meetings

posa, originally made by the United

to bring the belligerents into an ar
rangement which would safeguard the
interests of neutrals.
Furthermore, the documents show
that in a message of inquiry TO Great
Britain and France the United States
asked whether the embargo i'll all com

countries was to be carried out under

The answers from both Great Brit
ain and France reveal for the first
time that the allies officially regart
their policy as a blockade, but desire
to refrain from exercising the right OF
belligerents under blockade to con.
flsIcate ships and cargoes as penalty
for breach of blockade, substituting
for it procedure in prize courts and
compensation through sale of the de-
tanned merchandise.
The defination of radius of actiy-

waters. including the Mediterranean,
is the first intimation of the geograph-

were not given more exactly, the allies
claim, because Germany was equally

JAIL REPAIR BILL
REPORTED WITH
AMENDMENTS
Total Expense To County Must
Not Be Over Ten Thousand
PRIMARY BILL SHOT TO PIECES
Long Debate Over Bill This Morning
--poWelI's Press Muzxle Bill Is
Passed by the Senate.

Montpelier, March lS.-The bill to
provide for repairs on the two BeD'
nington county jails was reported this
morning with the amendments agreed
| on last week.
The changes provide that not more
than $4,000 shall be spent and that
the plans must be approved by the
state board Of health.
The committee named in charge OF
the work is composed of County
Judges Perry and Shaw and j. X.
Batchelder OF Arlington. The tax
fixed on the county Is three cents on
the dollar this year and three cents
next.
The House spent considerable timo
this forenoon debating the direct pri-
mary bill. but did not get to vote
before the noon adjournment.
The bill was finally killed by vote
of ll5 TO 102 after it had been badly
mutilated by amendment.
Montpelier, March 1.-THE Powell
bill to prevent the publishing OF de-
famatory communications passed the
Senate this afternoon by vote of Is
to -, after opposition had been voic-
ed by Senators Roberts and Conant
on the grounds that the bill tended
TO curtail the freedom of the Vermont
press. Senator Roberts said that this
was the first time in the history OF
the State that such legislation had
DnMalI dc.
Tended the measure. saying that II
woudl be protection to editors anl
deter others froin Seneing defamatory
letters to the papers. There seems to
be an opinion that the House will re-
fuse to concur in the passage of the
bin.
The bill for the prevention OF ven
ereal diseases was passed unanimous
ly after an amendment offered by Mr..
Hapgood had failed to prevail. Tho
amendment would necessitate ice
Governor giving his approval before
the board of health could quarantine.
Mr. Hapgood said the members of the
board of health of the State were a
peculiar set of men and an independ-
ent lot, and he did not believe in CIV
ing them absolute power.
Following closely on the heels Of
the killing of the bill abollshing the
office of attorney-general came the
introduction in the Senate this after
noon of bill changing the authority
for detectives from the States attoi
neys to the attorney-general.
Senator Shaw was granted unani'
nous consent to Introduce measure
appropriating $4,000 to apply upon
tuitions TO the University of Vermont
and Middlebury College.
Governor Gates has vetoed S. 81
relating TO the disposition Of unclaim-
ed deposits in savings banks and
trust companies. The chief executive
gives as his reasons the fact that the
bill provides that the probate court
OF insolvency or other courts shall
order and decree that the unclaimed
deposits shall be disposed Of, and the
term other courts" is indefinite
While the objects of the bill are
worthy, concludes the Governor, the
bill, because of its indetlniteness.

fusion.
