vERMoNT'S PEACE LEAGUE
Mammoth Meeting to Be Held at
Montpelier March 8.

Montpelier March 8.
Burlington, Jan. 24.--Things nave
been moving rapidly during the past
week, both locally and nationally, In
the circles OF the American branch OF
the League to Enforce Peace. The
league dinner held in Chicago, at
which Charles L. Hutchinson, presi-
dent of the Corn Exchange bank and
one of Chicagos most influential citi-
zens, was toastmaster. will go down
upon record as notable affair. the
guests included some 400 of the fcre-
most men and women Of Chicago, and
others of not from Illinois, outside or
the city, and from adjacent states.
One of the guests of honor was ex-
Gov. Eberhardt of Minnesota, who
came for the purpose OF getting infor-
nation that he could utilize in pro-
noting the leagues interests In his
own state.
Another guest who was at the
speakers table was Jane Adams,
woman prominent in peace circles and
who is now convert to the leagues
program. She appeared deeply inter-
ested in all that was said DR.. Low
ELL president Of Harvard university,
was present and spoke on the general
subject of the league and of the in
tolerable conditions that it is expect
ed to ameliorate.
The membership Of the Vermont
branch OF the league is increasing
from day to day and interest through
out the state is growing. The local
branch of the league through its cam
paign of education should have the
entire state so vitally interested by
march s, when the first big meeting is
to be held in Montpelier, the Presi-
dent Taft's stay in this state VIII
merely cap the climax.
President Taft is In such demand
as a speaker all over the country at
this time that Vermont should be
proud and should congratulate itself
that he is coming here to aid In the
promotion of the peace work. In
Springfield, Mass, where Mr.. Taft
recently spoke, the auditorium, which
held 1000 people, was so crowded
that the authorities forbade any more
to enter The committee, resolved
not to have the people disappointed,
quickly secured the use of a large
church directly across the street and
this was filled with the over flow. Mr.
Taft addressed this audience, in
brief also.
The number of questions concern
ing membership. and the project Of
the league and the call for literature
on the subject which are daily receiv-
ed at the Office of the local branch,
1873 Main street, Burlington, Is in
creasing rapidly. This shows the To-
cal committee that Vermont is awak-
ening OF the Importance Of the pro-
posals of the Peace League and to
the great benefit to be derived by all
mankind from the working out of
these proposals. The local office ap-
preciates this influx of questions. etc.
and is glad at any time to furnish any
information on the subject and to
answer inquiries whether in person
or through the mails.

hatchery is being operated exclusive
ly with spring water.
There are apparently possibilities
for the operation of hatchery on a
large scale. The water supply Is
abundant and in case it were desired
to put in a number of breeding ponds
more water of good quality for rear
ing purposes could be had from the
South stream. The land west and
north of the satchery could be utiliz-
ed for the construction of breeding
ponds at comparatively small ex
pense. With the power privilege
which was secured with the purchase
it would be possible TO operate meat
cutters or an electric lighting plant.
While the building itself is only
temporary, the water system was
built to connect with the permanent
hatchery which 1t is the intention of
the commissioner to build as soon as
the test has demonstrated that the
water is right. There is only one
method OF ascertaining whether or
not a certain water supply will hatch
and raise trout in the crowded condi-
tions that must prevail IN artificial
propagation and that is actual exner-
ience. No matter how we'll trout may
flourish lin q spring or stream in their
natural state, it is far from safe to
conclude that artificially raised fish
would thrive in the same water. The
United States government has ex-
pended thousands of dollars in the
erection of hatcheries on promising
sites Cnly to find that the money mad
been wasted.
The hundred thousand eggs that
have already hatched into fry were re-
ceiyed from Maine hatchery located

quently visited by the sportsmen and
others who have not had the novel ex-
perience of observing how the fishing
in the lakes and streams and even in
the ocean itself is being maintained
through artificial propagation. They
will find that an excellent piece of
work has been carried out at Station
No. 2 Before any construction was
attempted a survey was male and
plans were drawn by Civil Engineer
NJ. j. burlington and the water sup
ply was carefully weired. Warden
Higgins was therefore in position
to carry out the construction accord
ing to definite plan. The work is
all well done. The pipe that crosses
the South stream rests upon piers of
concrete and railroad iron and the
dams at the spring water basin and
on the brook are of solid concrete.
The system could at any time be at
tached to a permanent hatchery by
making the necessary connections.

London, June 27.-The demand for
the expulsion of the Turk from
Europe, included among the terms in
the allied note in reply to President
Wilson, is justified by Lord Bryce in
his views on that part of the entente
reply, which were given to the AS
sociated Press at London yesterday.
mo one who has studied the his
tory of the near East for the last five
centuries" says Lord Bryce, will be
surprised that the allied powers have
declared their purpose to put an end
to the rule of the Turk in Europe, and
still less will he dissent from the de-
termination to deliver the Christian
population of what Is called the Turk
ish empire, whether In Asia or in
Europe. from the government which
during those FIVE centuries has done
nothing but oppose them.
These changes are, indeed long
overdue. They ought to have come
more than century ago. because it
had then already become manifest
that the Turk was hopelessly unfit to
govern with any approach to justice
SUBJECT races OF different religion
THAT the faults OF Turkish gov
ernment are incurable has been most
clearly shown ty the fact that the
young Turkish gang who gained pow
er when they had deposed Abdul
Hamid have surpassed even that mon
ster of cruelty in their slaughter of
unoffending Armenians.
THE Moslem peasant Of Asia Mi
nor is an honest, kindly fellow when
not reused by fanaticism, but the
Turk as governing power is ir-
reclaimable, and the allied powers
would have been false to all the prin-
ciples of right and humanity for
which they are fighting if they had
not proclaimed that no Turkish gov
ernment shall hereafter be permitted
to tyrannize over the subjects of an
other faith"

Russian troops were repulsed in both
sections OF the battle front, with
heavy losses to the attackers along
the Aa, according to Berlin. Petro-
grad declares that the Russians, after
advancing more than a mile in the
battle zone, were forced to return to
their positions under the pressure of
the attacking Germans.
Turkish frst-line trenches on

repulsed with heavy losses.
There has been no great activity in
Rumania. On the northern portion
of the French front British troops
have carried out several successful
raids.

J.P. Korgan's Detective accused
Of Entering Lawyers ffiCe
OFFICE LIKE MANS HOME
Both, Justice Rules, Should Be Pro
tected Against Operations OF
Private Detectives.

New York, jan 26.-Wililam j..
Burns, head Of private detective
agency, was found guilty here late to-
day Of surreptitiously entering the
law offices of Seymour and Seymour,
making copies of private papers and
publishing them. Burns was employ
ed by j. p. Morgan and company to
trace q leak" of information about
contracts for war supplies for the
Allies from the Morgan Office. To
obtain the information sought, he
gained access to the Seymour offices.
In finding Burns guilty, the justices
of the court of special sessions, who
heard the case laid down the legal
principle that no private detective
has the right to enter mans office
or dwelling and examine his private
correspondence and papers.
1T would be giving private detec-
tive more power than a policeman"
declared Justice Collins, in handing
down the decision. THE law puts
protection around a man s home. 1t
would be a deplorable thing, If, in
America, a private house were not
safe from being entered by private
detectives; and IL lawyers office
may safely be entered, what protec-
ton would client have?"
A fne OF $100, with an alternative
OF thirty days in Jail, was imposed on
Burns, who paid the fine at once un-
der protest. Announcement was made
that an Immediate aDDeal would be
taken. 'T1rsi
The letters in question belonged to
munitions brokers having desk room
In the Offices of Seymour and Sey-
mour.
Burns, replying in court to ques-
ton whether he considered he had the
right to enter the law Office and copy
letters without permission, said;
Il did not consider the correspond
ence as private matter. The contents
indicated that II referred to stolen in
formation from j. p. Morgan and

Springfield, Mass.
The death of Edward NJ Vail of

the home of his son, Walter Vail, in
Springfield, Mass, where he and Mrs.
Vail had gone about six weeks ago to
pass the winter. Mr.. Vail, whose
health had invariably been of the
best, had been poorly for some time,
but the news of his death will come
as a surprise to all except those who
knew him most intimately.
Edward NJ. Vail, the Oldest son OF
the late Orsamus Merrill Vail, law
yer, was born in Louisville. KY, al
most eighty years ago. He was
nephew OF John w. Vail, for many

thirty-five years, making his residence
for a time on Mt. Anthony road in
Old Bennington and later near
Haynes Corners, where he had a
small farm. He was an expert bee
raiser and also worked at times at the
trade of carpenter. He was an
earnest and faithful Democrat and in
his death the party loses one of its
most enthusiastic adherents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Vail several years ago observed
the 50th anniversary OF their mar
riage ags
Besides the widow. the survivors
are two sisters. Mrs. Clarence Creigh-
ton and Mrs. Augustus Walbridge Of
Brooklyn. and three sons, Edward
and Merrill of New York and Walter
