That the United States

BUT NO DEMAND
ON THAT WAS MADE

posed Cooperation in the

tions to date in the Mexican conference
as satisfactory, although definite, final
proposals have not been reached, it is
authoritatively stated. 1t is admitted
that General Obregon has suggested, but
not demanded, the withdrawal of troops.
Major General Scott made counter pro-
posal, suggesting cooperative military
measures.
The progress of the negotiations was
not divulged, but from an authoritative
source two things we're learned: First,
that the Mexican representatives reiter-
ated the wish expressed in General Car
ranza's recent note to the Washington
government that the American troops
should be withdrawn from Mexican soil
at an early date Second, that they were
informed by the American officials that
the latter were not empowered to discuss
the withdrawal OF General Pershings
columns.
Ii is understood that the American
representatives told the Mexican officials
that if the de facto government insisted
on American withdrawal, the conference
would 90 into a deadlock and the whole
matter would divert to diplomatic dis
cussion between Washington and Mexico
City.
The Mexicans, it was understood were
further informed that the purpose of the
present conference so far as the United
States is concerned, is the development
of a specific plan for the cooperation
wiping out the bandit groups that have
caused so much bloodshed along the bor-
der and have repeatedly taken American
life in the interior of Mexico.
1t is understood that General Obre- |
gon. prior to the conference openly eX
pressed dsinclination to discuss any
other subject than withdrawal and that
he carried this attitude into the initial /
meeting. After the primary issues had
been hroached. however, he is reported |
TO have carried out the intention he an /
nounced shortly after his arrival on Fri /
lay, of meeting Generals Scott and Fun
ston half way in the negotiations.
In we'll informed quarters the opinion
vas freely expressed Saturday night that
.he present negotiations are unlikely to
ead to any definite disagreement. 1t
vas pointed out that the Carranza gov
srnment could not afford to take any
step that would endahger its present
relations with Washington. As
ar as the United States was concerned,
t was argued it has consistently held to
big brother" policy toward the coun
ry south of the Rio Grande and had re-
announced itself against inter
-ention.

men and women OF Irish birth or sym
pathizers who attended mass meetings
here last night under the auspices of the
OF sympathy for the Dublin revolution
lists and thanked Germany "for extending
TO Ireland as far as the present mill
tary situation will permit the same kind
of aid ms was rendered the infant Amer
lean republic by France"
The hope was expressed that Ger
many's assistance would become enlarged
to an extent that Ireland might be rec.
ognized as a belligerent and place se-
cured for her in the congress OF nations
which will settle the terms OF peace"
Mention of the names of John Red
mond, leader of the Irish nationalists.
and Sir Edward Carson brought forth
many Kisses from the audience, while
reference TO Sir Roger Easement caused
cheering that lasted for more than half
a minute.
Every seat in the theatre engaged for
the occasion was filed long before Den
mis- A. Spellissy president OF the United
Irish societies, called the meeting to or
der. A crowd fully twice the size OF
that which packed the theatre gathered
in Times square, nearby, and re echoed
the cheers which at intervals penetrated
the street. Those who attended the
meeting wore the tri-colored flag OF the
revolutionists entwined with the stars
and stripes
II was asserted that lreland's inde
pendence was necessary TO secure the
freedom of the seas for the peaceful
of the world.

Barre took its Monday morning eye
opener in the usual homeopathic dose to-
day in spite of the fact that the Iegalized
sale of liquor was on for the first time
in eight years. Only four of the first
and second class places welcomed visitors
day. Some of the licensees inhibited
from doing business to-day viii not open
until Wednesday, or until after hearings
on their transfer applications have been
held. The hearings are to be held at city
hall Tuesday morning at o'clock Other
licensees were unable to open to-day on
account of unavoidable delays, so it il
improbable that the entire III licenses
viii be operative before next Monday
At a meeting of the license commits.
sioners Saturday night licensees were
furnished with lists that are to be posted
in every first and second class place.
Persons whose names are inscribed on
the list, and their number is 300, if not
legion, will have hard time of it if they
attempt to purchase. To the list habit
ual drunkards, etc, and indigents were
contributed by Barre and Montpelier city
judges and charity overseers.
Order prevailed wherever liquor places
were opened this morning. No arrests
for intoxication had been made early this
afternoon and the police were confident
that the opening day would pass without
disturbance. The customary restrictions
with reference to opening and closing
have been placed on the licensees.

HISTORY
The World War occupies this field
to the almost total exclusion of all
other historical studies. 1t has been
found necessary to rewrite most OF
modern history in order to bring the
present prevailing view of Germany
in harmony with the past, and to give
it the properly sinister perspective.
No doubt, on the return OF reason,
much Of this history put out in a
fury OF hatred and deliberate mis-
representation will have to be re-
written, but one is inclined to think
that some of it will never be prop
erly unscrambled again. How CIV
ilization has misjudged Russial 1t
almost appears as if it were the Bel
gians and not the Dutch who fought
the Eighty Years War; and, to
Judge from some recent histories Of
Poland, the Poles and their tempera-
mental peculiarities had nothing
whatever to do with their Kingdoms
