least one of the ambassadors concern
ed turned over to the state depart
ment full transcript of the informa-
ton he had received.
This report declares that all Mexico
is on the verge OF an uprising against
the Carranza government 1t states
that while the primary cause of unrest
lies III the complete decentralization of
all forms of industry, in the scarcity
of food and the worthlessness of the
Mexican currency, resentment against
Carranza for permitting the American
forces to enter and remain in Mexican
territory is the particular grievance
upon which the enemies of Carranza
are pinning their hopes for a general
outbreak against his rule.
Villa, the report shows, is fast as
suming in the eyes of the Mexican
populaee the figure of a national hero.
Awaiting themselves of this fact, in
triguers at the national capital and
in the very household of Carranza are
plotting for his overthrow. 1t is said
that Carranza is in imminent danger
of assassination.
In the meantime, the reports 90 on
to state, the food shortage in various
parts of Mexico, not excepting the
capital, is growing daily more serious
and pestilence is beginning to take it's
toll from the ranks of the starving.
Carranza currency has dropped to the
unprecedented level of a ratio of 10C
pesos to 81 in American gold.
Hostility against Americans is re
ported to be growing, and of particu
lar concern to the diplomatic corps il

on Vermont history assembled by
the late Horace w Bailey, of Newbury,

trict of Vermont. The pamphlets were
offered first to the college and were
purchased through the liberality of
few friends.
The collection of Marshal Bailey was
well known by all students of Vermont
history as one of the largest in the
possession of a private collector. 1t
was the work of many years of patient
labor, no pains being too great for Mr.
Bailey to take to add an interesting
item of his treasures. 1t included many
rare publications, and some of which
Mr.. Bailey had never seen a duplicate.
The pamphlets are bound in uniform
volumes, there being Us in the series.
Each volume is carefully indexed, and
there is an index volume of the entire
series. Some of the volumes contain
as many as 30 pamphlets, others only
five or six, the average number being
about ten. The entire collection there
fore contain well over thousand
pamphlets.
Four rare pamphlets of special inter

versv between Senator Phelps, father
of Edward j. Phelps, and Governor

As a whole the Bailey collection IS
mine of information about Vernon
history, invaluable to the student an,
of great interest to every Vermonter
No phase of the life of early Vernon

WASHINGTON, April 29-Reports
