LATEST JAP NOTE
DRASTIC BUT NOT
AN ULT| MATUM

Washington, May 5.--Secretary Bryan
said to-day that the United states had
not been advised of the issuance of
any Japanese ultimatum to China AS
the state department is well informed
on the progress of the important ne
gotiations in peking, this led observ-
ers here to the conclusion that in all
Likelihood the latest japanese note,
while drastic and severe in tone. does
not necessarily mark the conclusion
of the negotiations.
In Japanese circles ii is believed
that this note will in the end be suf-
hcient to secure the complianco by
China with the principal demands Of
Japan though ii is by no means Ger
tain that there is not still left some
ground for Comprumis" which would
involve Japanese concessions in mat
ters Of detail providing China rccog-
h!zes the underlying principles of the
japanese demands. In these same
quarters however it is pointed out
that II would be too much to expect
the Chinese ncgotiators to make n
complete surrender without an attempt
by President Yuan Shi-kai and his
party leaders, to elicit an expression
OF opinion from the great powers in
terested in China and to secure moral
support from them.
POWERS NIGHT INTERVENE.
1t was suggested that this idea mieht
find Expression in an identic note from
President Yuan to Great Britain, the
United states, France and even Ger
many asserting that the Japanese are
seeking to destroy the integrity of
China and to invade the treaty rights
of these natoins. If the replies re-
ceiVed are unrcSpOnsive to this appeal
or are confined simply to polite express
sions of sympathy without promise of
material aid in resisting the Japanese
program, it is suggested that President
Yuan may then communicate the result
of his efforts to the various viceroys of
the great Chinese provinces and declare
that he finds it necessary to submit
without the display of force.
The state department up to late to-
day had received no advices concerning
the internal situation in China and
whether any uneasiness was being felt
in legation quarters. At Peking are
$50 American marines commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel Dion Williams
guarding the American legation. At
Tientsin are the headquarters of the
first and third battalions and machine
gun platoon of the 18th U. $. infantry.

JUSTICE HUGHES
NOT A CANDIDATE
Announcement Is Made in His
Behalf-He Prefers the
Bench.

Washington, May 5.--It has become
known on high authority that Associat g
Justice Charles T.. Hughes Of the United
States supreme court will object to the
use of his name as republican prcsiden-
tial candidate in 1915.
An informal aunounccmcnt to this effect
was made in behalf Of Justice hughes to-
day.
1t was said that the former Governor
of New York is entirely satisfied with his
service on the supreme bench and that
he is not disposed to leave 1t for any
purpose.
Whether Justice Hughes would de-
cline the nomination in case he was
chosen by the republican national con-
vention of next year is not made clear
but it is stated emphatically in behalf
OF Justice Hughes that he has no am
bitions beyond judicial service.
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1915-05-06

The name of Justice Hughes has
been mentioned more frequently than
any other, with the possible exception
of presidential possibilities among re-
publican politicians here. by the lead
ing men in the party councils Of this
state he has been viewed as dark
horse which viii remain a dark horse
right on up TO the time of the convcn-
ton.
The statement made hy CIV Hughes
to-day had no noticeable effect on this
opinion. Those who commented on it
observed that Mr.. Hughes could not
have said ANYTHING else. as an active
participation in the pr"-convention cam
paign would bc too undignfed a pro-
ceedng for Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. They. be-
lievcd that If he should be nominated
the nomination would have to present
tn" appearance of drafting him from the
Supreme Court bench.
The onmity Of William Barnes for Jus
tico Hughes has been cited frequently
as a reason why the former governor
of New York State will not be nominated
for president. 1t is well known fact
that Mr.. Barness dislike for Mr. hughes
is second only to his dotcstation of Col
Roosevelt. In local political gossip it is
suggested that the presidential chances
of Mr.. Hughes Just as much as the third
term aspirations of Col. Roosevelt may

AN ADVERTISING CLINCH[R
Argument Used to Induce Merchants
to Advertise in Newspapers.

In talking recently with man who
has made a big success as an advertis-
ing salesman, the question was asked
him: What has been the most effec-
tive argument you have used to induce
merchants to advertiser
Il ask Them" the salesman replied,
what proportion of the population in
the territory they serve has come into
their store within the past three
months.
Very few of them, in reply to this
question, claim that any large proper
ton of the population has come into
the store. A few may say they have
had 10 per cent OF the peonle. Many
would admit that not over 1 per cent
of the people had been in their store
during that period. In many cases the
proportion would be away below / per
cent.
Then | say, how are all the rest of
the people going tohave any idea about
the merits of the stock you carry?
They may go by your place of business
twice day. But they know nothing
about what you are doing. You will
never get their trade unless you seek
after their business and tell them
what you have got.
''To do that" the salesman contin-
ued, 81 tell them that there are Just
three things that can be done. They
can send salesman around from door
to door to tell them about the goods

THE RIGHT IDEA

The formation of a Parent-Teachers
association for mutual cooperation is
the wisest move ever made by the
people of this school community. One
of the greatest drawbacks to sound
educational work and the hardest
problem of the school instructors is the
small amount of encouragement given
by the parents. It is not a problem
pertinent alone TO this school district
but is nation wide Indifference of
parents to the school system while
things are running smoothly and
wrathful criticism when things g.
awry, is the commonplace. The meet
ing held in this city with its splendid
attendance presages better order of
school affairs for the schools, The
teachers problem is heavy one at best
and when all of the discipline is lett
for the teacher and the moral welfare
as well. Five days Of school work
and discipline Is often dissipated by
the other two days of holiday with the
result that the effort in school is dim
finished. The present plan will not on
ly give the parent new idea of the
aims of the instructors but also gives
the impression that the teachers are
human beings with aspirations and
well-defined intentions to give some
thing more to the pupil than mere
book knowledge. 1t means more to the
parent to catch glimpse of the stu
pendous task confronting a teacher
with forty or more distinct individual
tiles to mould in the right way, when
the parents are often appalled, at the
responsibility of perhaps one or two
lives left in their care. The associa,
ton will radically change the rela.
tions of the two forces in school life
if it has the same effect here as in old
ef communities.

The outcome of the investigation OF
George Day and the land board by the
legislature was similar TO every other
started-nothing gained but new
coat of whitewash for some official
who should be speedily canned. Des-
pite the assertion of the investigating
committee in generating Day, real
estate men and others interested here
maintain that the sale in question was
not held at the hour advertised and
tina it practically amounted to a pri-
vac sale TO favored few, a whole
hour prior to the hour set for the pub
lie sale of land -Four people in this
city were present on the hour advertis-
ed and failed to see Mr.. Day or any
other representative of the state at
that time. Yet several acres of land
were sold and the state sets the mark
of its approval upon the matter when 1t
now declares there was nothing wrong
with the deal The conduct of the al
fairs of the state land board and all Of
its branches has been an affront to the
people of the state. This state not
only applies to the Iaines adminins-
tration but to Hawley's and Brady's

wealth should now be pouring into do
nestle trade channels When the flow
starts business will boom overnight.
All that is needed to open the flood
gates is a little more confidence"
SO far as trade with the United
States is concerned, explains the New
York Globe, German currency is at
10 per cent discount, and British and
French currency at a 1 per cent dis
count" And in the New York Sun
we read:
american dollars are in tremendous
demand all over the world They
have never been so badly wanted as
today, and if all signs do not fail, the
limit of demand for them is not event
family visible
"The rest of the world can not now
send us goods in quantity to square
| its obligations. 1t can part with but
! little cash, but we do not require gold.
| We have enough of that and to spare.
What we can do is to extend credit
which will temporarily solve the for
! eign exchange problem, and if We go
on piling up international credits in
sufficient quantity we will eventually
acquire control of the international
exchanges which after the war no
other nation may be able to dispute.
This at the bottom is the real and
important significance that the fall in
the British pound sterling, in French
| francs, and in German marks has for
us. The worlds financial capital has
shifted or is shifting. From the stand
point of the money market, New York
is now in London's former place, or
will be before long, provided circum-
stances do not shake our neutrality in
